Patellar Tendon Quality and Knee Symptoms in Male Athletes Before the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: It is unknown if the quality of the patellar tendon is affected by an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. ACL deficient patients (ACL-D) have shown to have knee pain, quadriceps weakness and reduced knee function. Ultrasound tissue characterization (UTC) has been used to assess the quality of tendons by quantifying the proportion of echo-types using a numerical grading system from best to worst (I-IV). The primary aims of this cross-sectional study were to investigate the patellar tendon quality in athletes with unilateral ACL injuries, and to compare them to asymptomatic control tendons. The secondary aims were to assess the impact of anterior knee pain (AKP) in the patellar tendons of ACL-D, and to explore possible correlations between tendon quality and knee pain, knee extensor strength and time from ACL injury. Methods: UTC was used to scan both patellar tendons of 81 ACL-D athletes and 20 control tendons. Echo-types distribution was calculated to compare the quality between limbs of ACL-D and control tendons; and to compare ACL-D with AKP, other knee pain, and without pain. Associations between the variables of tendon quality and knee symptoms were explored. Results: No difference in tendon quality was found between limbs of ACL-D. Both tendons of ACL-D displayed more echo-type II at the patellar apex, and same or less echo-types III and IV than controls. The proximal half of the control tendons displayed better quality than the distal half. ACL-D knees with pain displayed less extensor strength, however, in addition to the lack of difference in tendon quality regardless of the presence and location of pain, there was no meaningful association between pain, extensor strength and tendon quality. Nevertheless, there were weak to moderate associations between tendon quality and time from ACL injury. Conclusion: Despite the ACL injury, there is no difference in tendon quality between ACL-D limbs, or when subgrouping ACL-D tendons by presence and location of knee pain. Different areas of the patellar tendon may present different characteristics that might be related to training. Tendon quality is better if a person has longer time from injury.
Immune factors and thyroid function parameters associated with different degrees anemia in patients living with HIV/AIDS in Southwest China: a cross-sectional study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background: In the era of HIV/AIDS antiretroviral therapy, the prevalence of anemia in HIV/AIDS is very high, but the factors associated with anemia are not yet clear. In order to actively prevent HIV/AIDS patients from having anemia, we investigated the immune indexes of HIV/AIDS patients complicated with anemia, and discussed the immunological risk factors associated with anemia in HIV/AIDS patients. Methods: We collected demographic information and clinical data about patient living with HIV/AIDS from January 2016 to October 2021 from the hospital information system. Logistic regression models was used to analyze these data to identify factors associated with different anemia. Results: At last, 1131 AIDS patients were enrolled in the study, including men (72.5%) and women (27.5%), and the age was mainly concentrated in >40 years (85.94%). The overall prevalence of anemia in Guangxi was 26.9% (95%CI: 24.2% - 29.6%). The factors for affecting anemia were CD4 + T cell count ≤ 200 cell/ul (aOR: 5.523, 95% CI: 2.217, 13.749), CD4 / CD8 (aOR: 3.827, 95% CI: 1.669, 8.785 ), free thyroxine [FT4] (aOR: 10.612, 95% CI: 2.03, 55.479), globulin (aOR: 1.027, 95% CI: 1.003, 1.052) and thyroid hormone [T4] (aOR: 0.795, 95% CI: 0.67, 0.943). Conclusion: Immune factors and thyroid related hormone were associated with different anemia in patients living with HIV/AIDS. Monitoring these factors timely will be helpful for treatment and improving the quality of life and life expectancy of patients.

At the same time, the three-dimensional model is compared with the artificial measured results, and the applicable scope of the uav real-world modeling is summarized.
The Combustion Performance of Pelletized Jatropha Seed Residue in a Vortexing Fluidized-Bed Combustor

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Jatropha curcas is considered a promising energy crop. The response surface methodology is introduced to study the combustion performance of pelletized Jatropha seed residue in a vortexing fluidized-bed combustor, and regression models for the bed temperature (Tb), the combustion fraction (Yb), and the NOx emissions are provided. The result shows that the combustion efficiency is above 99.5%, indicating that JSR pellets burn very well in the combustor. CO can be eliminated by stage combustion accompanied by a controlled freeboard temperature, but NOx increases correspondingly. Tb and Yb have similar trends, showing the interaction between them. The variation in the NOx emissions can be attributed to the shift in volatile-N combustion. In summary, the optimum operating conditions lie slightly above the line of Tb equal to 800 °C.
Renal Cytochrome P450-Derived Eicosanoids and Hypertension

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase system represents a major metabolic pathway of arachidonic acid in the kidney. The primary CYP monooxygenase-derived arachidonic acid metabolites (eicosanoids) in renal tubular and vascular tissues are hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are further metabolized by epoxide hydrolase to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs). CYP-derived eicosanoids have been shown to affect vascular tone and tubular epithelial transport, contribute to the regulation of renal function, and participate in the long-term control of blood pressure. This review will focus on the biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiological significance of the CYP-derived eicosanoids in the mammalian kidney. In addition, we will also discuss the role of these metabolites in pregnancy- and obesity-induced hypertension in animal models, and in human hypertension. Keywords: Eicosanoids, cytochrome P450, 20-HETE, EET, DHET, kidney, renal function, hypertension
A Mixture of Rational Symbolic Space and Dreamy Imaginary World: Jung Chan, a male writer who deviates from ‘Phallus language’

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study analyzes the narrative method, perception, and narrative meaning of Jeong Chan"s work. It looks at how he shows the perception of negation and resistance to existing frameworks, as do other male writers, but how he also creates a unique atmosphere. He uses a chaotic narrative reenactment and "warmth" and "hope", rather than a violent reality reenactment, and he has begun to disassemble "Phallus" as a male writer. The uniqueness of Jeong Chan"s work is in how it is composed of multiple intertwines in character, setting, narrative style, and narrative space (imagination, recognition area) that require more detailed analysis than simply "difficulty." The analysis identifies Jeong Chan as a writer who, unlike other male writers, is attempting to repress the privilege of "Phallus" and to escape the masculine limits of "Phallocentralism". This shows how the postmodern experimental perception of de-construction, post-modern, and deconstructionism eventually escape from the "Phallogocentralism". In other words, Jeong Chan"s characters exhibit "de-rational" behavior and mental (fantasy, dreaming) space, and at the same time perform a certain achievement in reproducing "Phallocentralism", as his male characters do not use the privileged power of fathers and men but lean on their children and mothers or return to the imaginary world. In addition, the author looks at the expansion of the realm of imagination, not just "disband" but also the expansion of the narrative realm by exploring "new subjects" after defection. Writer Jeong Chan focusses more on the post-dismissal story, on the premise that "the world is suffering." The narrative even suggests alternatives to the problems of how selves live after defection and the formation of a "new subject." On the premise of such a writer"s judgment and awareness of the world, the stories break down the rational-oriented language and system"s ideological boundaries and narrate a dreamy imaginary space. This extends the realm of perception to the imagination, such as dreams, fantasies, and souls. In the image of abandoning the rational symbolic system of "Father"s Name", that is, the "Phallus" real order, and returning to the imaginary world such as "child, mother", the male head (family) is no longer a power and savior, which implies that in this situation, the Phallogocentism of modern people is dismantled. In addition, the researcher reveals the circulation of the artist"s view of history and the perception of natural circulation in that the adult of the symbolic world returns to the imagination, such as in fantasy and dreaming, and seeks salvation and hope from the child. The study discerns the cyclical perception that dismantling and collapse are linked to another ‘generation’ and ‘mixing’, separate from the developmental history of modern times, which recognizes ‘failure’ and negativism.
[Evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid and plasma creatine kinase (CK) activity in patients with purulent, bacterial meningoencephalitis].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The aim of the study was evaluation of usefulness of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) creatine kinase (CK) activity assessment in diagnostics of purulent, bacterial meningoencephalitis in adults. The investigations were performed in 18 subjects. In all individuals CSF and plasma CK activity was estimated during the first 24 hours of hospitalization. Mean CSF CK activity in patients in very severe clinical state (group I) was 27,41 IU/L compared to 16,73 IU/L in subjects of group II with moderate and mild course of disease. The difference between mean CSF activities of this enzyme was statistically significant (p < 0,01). The obtained results indicate the usefulness of CSF CK activity assessment in estimation of severity of the patient's clinical state. The magnitude of this activity seems to be also helpful as prognostic marker in purulent, bacterial meningoencephalitis.
Menstrual disorders in early puberty in girls of 14-17 years old.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

One of the most important events in one’s life is the period of adolescence and maturity. The factor for recognizing the real maturity in young girls is the first menstruation (monthly period). Against that monthly period is not a deniable happening, it has not been written about its effective factors. The girls don’t know enough about adolescence, maturity and related disorders. If they don’t have enough knowledge and can not adapt to the situation, the bad effects with the mental problems will appear in their conjugal life as well as the society. Hence, it is necessary to consider this case. The present study is an analytic and descriptive study. The samples included 1536 girls, 14 data collecting tool was a checklist including 2 parts and statistical inferential methods were used for analyzing the data. Results of the study show disorders of monthly period in the girls as Amenorrhea 5.7% Menorrhagia 11.11% , Polymenorrhea 14.6%, Hypermenorrhea 22.9% , Olygomenorrhea 24.6% , Hypomenorrhea 12.9% , Metrorrhagia 11.7%, Dysmenorrhea 75% , in this study, significant statistic relationship was found among menstruation and doing exercise (P=0.047), BMI (P=0.003), Stress (P<0.001), and therefore to satisfy and improve the girls’ health, it seems necessary to consider reducing pain during menstruation, nourishment, weight controlling and reducing stress factors as well as planning to do exercises especially at schools.

Temperature-Sensitive Frozen-Tissue Imaging for Cryoablation Monitoring Using STIR-UTE MRI

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose The aim of this study was to develop a method to delineate the lethally frozen-tissue region (temperature less than −40°C) arising from interventional cryoablation procedures using a short tau inversion-recovery ultrashort echo-time (STIR-UTE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequence. This method could serve as an intraprocedural validation of the completion of tumor ablation, reducing the number of local recurrences after cryoablation procedures. Materials and Methods The method relies on the short T 1 and T 2 * relaxation times of frozen soft tissue. Pointwise Encoding Time with Radial Acquisition, a 3-dimensional UTE sequence with TE = 70 microseconds, was optimized with STIR to null tissues with a T 1 of approximately 271 milliseconds, the threshold T 1 . Because the T 1 relaxation time of frozen tissue in the temperature range of −40°C < temperature < −8°C is shorter than the threshold T 1 at the 3-tesla magnetic field, tissues in this range should appear hyperintense. The sequence was evaluated in ex vivo frozen tissue, where image intensity and actual tissue temperatures, measured by thermocouples, were correlated. Thereafter, the sequence was evaluated clinically in 12 MR-guided prostate cancer cryoablations, where MR-compatible cryoprobes were used to destroy cancerous tissue and preserve surrounding normal tissue. Results The ex vivo experiment using a bovine muscle demonstrated that STIR-UTE images showed regions approximately between −40°C and −8°C as hyperintense, with tissues at lower and higher temperatures appearing dark, making it possible to identify the region likely to be above the lethal temperature inside the frozen tissue. In the clinical cases, the STIR-UTE images showed a dark volume centered on the cryoprobe shaft, V inner , where the temperature is likely below −40°C, surrounded by a doughnut-shaped hyperintense volume, where the temperature is likely between −40°C and −8°C. The hyperintense region was itself surrounded by a dark volume, where the temperature is likely above −8°C, permitting calculation of V outer . The STIR-UTE frozen-tissue volumes, V inner and V outer , appeared significantly smaller than signal voids on turbo spin echo images ( P < 1.0 × 10 −6 ), which are currently used to quantify the frozen-tissue volume (“the iceball”). The ratios of the V inner and V outer volumes to the iceball were 0.92 ± 0.08 and 0.29 ± 0.07, respectively. In a single postablation follow-up case, a strong correlation was seen between V inner and the necrotic volume. Conclusions Short tau inversion-recovery ultrashort echo-time MR imaging successfully delineated the area approximately between −40°C and −8°C isotherms in the frozen tissue, demonstrating its potential to monitor the lethal ablation volume during MR-guided cryoablation.
Research progress on miRNA and colorectal cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant gastrointestinal tumors. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can help to achieve a favorable prognosis. MicroRNA / miRNA,a single- strand noncoding- RNA family,functions as an oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes,regulating the genesis and development of tumors. Nowadays,a great amount of studies have been conducted on the mechanisms of microRNAs and their relationship with neoplasm. Accumulating evidences indicate that miRNAs play a vital role in tumor genesis and metastasis and serve as markers of diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma. This article reviews recent studies on the relationship between miRNA and colorectal cancer.
Did Securitization Fail to Contain the Covid-19 Pandemic? The Case of Greece

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic many European governments responded by securitizing the pandemic and adopting a series of emergency measures in order to curb the spread of the pandemic. However, in most cases the measures were unsuccessful. Does this constitute a failure of securitization? In order to address this question, we will analyze the case of Greece. The case of Greece is particularly interesting because it was one of the first countries to adopt emergency measures and for a time it was heralded as a success story in countering the effects of the pandemic. According to the findings of this brief, the case of Greece does not constitute a failure of securitization. The Greek government did show a degree of inconsistency in its efforts of securitizing the pandemic but that was consistent with the fluctuation of the number of confirmed cases and COVID-19 related deaths and the impact of the pandemic on the Greek economy and attitude of the general population.
Novel Presentation to a Rare Disease: Refractory Seizures Caused by Rosai–Dorfman Disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Rosai–Dorfman disease (RDD) is a non-Langerhans lymphoproliferative disorder that is defined by sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy. It can present with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations depending on the organ systems affected. Definitive diagnosis of RDD can be established only by tissue biopsy. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment of localized RDD. We present a case of uncontrolled seizures caused by RDD. Despite surgical excision and multiple antiepileptic agents, the seizure disorder remained uncontrolled. Subsequently, the refractory seizures responded to systemic chemotherapy with rituximab, which has not yet been approved for the treatment of RDD.
The Expressive Structure of Japanese Nationalism in Popular Culture – A Rethinking of Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises –

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

미야자키 하야오 감독의 <바람이 분다>에 대해 작품이 가지는 역사적 정치적 의미를 두고, 그동안 아시아 각국에서 다양한 논의가 있어왔다. 본고에서는 <바람이 분다>의 기저에 깔려있는 일본 정신사적 특징을 살펴보고 이 작품을 내셔널리즘과 관련하여 새로운 각도로 고찰한다. ‘아름다운 비행기’에 집착한 지로의 열정과 몰입의 이야기와, 죽음을 앞둔 남녀의 러브스토리 등을 결합한 이 작품에는 낭만주의적 멸망의 미학의 그림자가 발견된다. 미야자키 하야오는 대가가 크더라도 위험한 꿈을 꾸지 않을 수 없었던 지로의 모습에서 자신을 발견한다고 고백하고, 파괴되는 비행기와 죽어가는 나오코의 모습을 교차 편집하고 있는데 이는 전후 일본 내셔널리즘을 지탱한 보수주의 미학과 잇닿아 있는 부분이라 할 수 있다. 또한 이 작품은 지로를 애틋한 러브스토리의 주인공으로 만들어 전쟁과 군국주의 폭력을 감상성(感傷性, Sentimentality)으로 은폐하고 있기도 하다. 이러한 감상성의 활용은 전시하의 일본 국민들을 전쟁에 협력하도록 하는 큰 무기였으며, 결과적으로 감상성으로 인해 이 작품이 제로센과 군국주의를 미화한 듯 보이는 위치에 놓이게 되는 것이다. 이 작품이 품고 있는 낭만적 심정은 일본 낭만파 이후 전후 우익적 정치세력 까지 지속적으로 모습을 드러내는 사상적 경향이기도 하다. 따라서 일본 대중문화에서 이러한 내셔널리즘이 전달되는 표현구조를 인지함으로 그에 저항하는 감상하기가 관객에게 요구된다고 할 수 있다.
Consent and Loyalty as Bases of Legitimate Political Authority

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This thesis examines consent as the purported criterion of legitimate political authority and basis of political obligation in modern liberal democracies. Liberal consent theory posits autonomy as the basis of legitimate political authority, in as much as consent is an act of the individual's free, autonomous will. Voluntary subjection to political power transforms it into genuine political authority. On this view, consent is the mechanism by which autonomy is protected in social interactions generally, including those of a political nature. Only those political relationships that are based on genuine, autonomy-protecting consent are legitimate: only they can give rise to legitimate political authority over others and only they can give rise to real obligations to obey any rule set over us by another.
The Krymchak Nominative as One of the Indicators of Noun Indefiniteness and the Cases of Unusual Use of it in the Biblical Translations

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Turkic languages, including the Krymchak (=Krimchak) Jewish ethnolect of the Crimean Tatar, have no formal markers of the (in)definiteness of a noun, but a certain lexical and morphological set allow for linguists to determine the meaning of the definiteness / indefiniteness. However, also the Krymchak nominative case fulfils the role of the indefinite index in the functions of a direct object and of an attribute, which is argued in the first part of this article. Thus, the connection and opposition of the nominative with accusative and genitive cases are shown. After some remarks on the category of (in)definiteness in the Turkic languages we analyze the nominative form in the functions of subject, direct object and of attribute in comparison with accusative and genitive case forms used in the analogical functions. By comparison, their definite/indefinite meanings are revealed to be clear. Finally, we discuss the described material, and offer three tables as results. Some instances of the unusual use of the nominative case in the Krymchak Biblical translations is discussed in the second part of this paper. The cited examples are taken from written sources published during the last half century, including the Krymchak translations of Biblical books.
Tobacco and electronic cigarette cues for smoking and vaping: an online experimental study

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract

Objective This study examined whether exposure to smoking and vaping cues the urge to smoke or vape. It extends previous studies on first-generation cigalikes (visually similar to cigarettes) and second-generation devices (visually similar to pens) by including third-generation tank system devices (larger bulky units). In an online experiment, participants were randomly assigned to view one of four videos, which included smoking, vaping (cigalike or tank system), or neutral cues. The primary outcome was urge to smoke. Secondary outcomes were urge to vape, desire to smoke and vape, and intention to quit or remain abstinent from smoking.Results UK adults varying in smoking (current or former) and vaping (user or non-user) status (n=1120) completed the study: 184 (16%) failed study attention checks meaning 936 were included in the final analysis. Urges to smoke were similar across cue groups. Urges to vape were higher following exposure to vaping compared to neutral cues. There was no clear evidence of an interaction between cue group and smoking or vaping status. The lack of cueing effects on smoking urges is inconsistent with previous research, raising questions about the ability to assess craving in online settings.
