Prevalence and Risk Factors of Allergic Rhinitis in Primary School Students of Isfahan, Iran

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood. Different studies have indicated an increasing prevalence of AR worldwide. The most common complaints of the patients are itching, tearing eyes, and rhinorrhea. The present study aims to assess the prevalence and risk factors of AR among 6–7-year-old children of Isfahan Province, Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted on 973 67-year-old primary school students of Isfahan Province in 2016. The study was conducted based on the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire. Results: This study was conducted on 322 (33.1%) 6-year-old and 651 (66.9%) 7-year-old students. A total of 563 (57.9%) and 410 (42.1%) students were male and female, respectively. AR was diagnosed in 397 (40.8%) cases that 190 (47.8%) and 130 (32.7%) showed seasonal and permanent AR, respectively. A percentage of 44.7% of 6-year-old and 38.9% of 7-year-old ( P = 0.04) students, 42.1% of males and 39% of females ( P = 0.336), had AR; however, the percentages were not significant ( P = 0.005). Exposure to smoking, plants, and domestic association with AR was not significant ( P = 0.317, P = 0.863, and P = 0.253, respectively), but infancy breastfeeding association was significant ( P = 0.015). Residence in the second area of Isfahan city was accompanied by higher prevalence of AR ( P = 0.006). Conclusion: The prevalence of AR was considerably higher in Isfahan as one of the largest cities of Iran. It was significantly associated with age, infancy milk feeding, and area of residence but not with sex, smoking, plant, and domestic exposure.

The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacterial populations underpins the ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis. We aim to understand how antibiotic-degrading enzymes can evolve to cause increased resistance, how this process is constrained, and whether it can be predictable.
Enhanced\nWeak-Light Detection of Perovskite Photodetectors\nthrough Perovskite/Hole-Transport Material Interface Treatment

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Enhancement\nin weak-light detection and other photodetection properties\nwas observed for organic–inorganic halide perovskite photodetectors\nas a result of benzylammonium iodide (BzAI) treatment at the methylammonium\nlead triiodide (MAPbI<sub>3</sub>) and hole-transport layer (HTL)\ninterface. After treatment, growth of the two-dimensional Ruddlesden–Popper\nperovskite phase was observed at the MAPbI<sub>3</sub> surface, which\nshifted the overall surface work function upwards and thus effectively\nfacilitated charge transfer across the MAPbI<sub>3</sub>/HTL interface.\nAs a result, the fully fabricated device with 10 mg/mL (BzAI/isopropanol)\ntreatment exhibited shorter rise time (<i>t</i><sub>rise</sub>) and decay time (<i>t</i><sub>decay</sub>) of 53 and 38\nμs, respectively, compared to <i>t</i><sub>rise</sub> and <i>t</i><sub>decay</sub> of 214 and 120 μs,\nrespectively, for the pristine MAPbI<sub>3</sub> sample. In addition,\nthe BzAI-treated device exhibited larger linearity compared to the\npristine MAPbI<sub>3</sub> sample, demonstrating a high and stable\nspecific detectivity of 1.49 × 10<sup>13</sup> to 2.14 ×\n10<sup>13</sup> Jones under incident light intensity of 10<sup>–3</sup> to 10<sup>0</sup> mW/cm<sup>2</sup>, respectively.

[Cryptosporidiosis among intestinal parasitosis in Senegalese pediatric hospital patients].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

From November 1991 to March 1992 authors have carried out a study on the place of cryptosporidiosis among the intestinal diseases in children from a Dakar Pediatric Hospital. Different technics have been used to identify the parasites in the stool: direct examination, followed by Ritchie and Zielh Nielsen modified by Henricksen and Poblenz. The results show that 32% of the children were carriers parasites. Helminths represent 53.2% of the parasites with predominance of Ascaris lumbricoides. Giardia intestinalis is the more representative parasite among the Protozoa which constitute 46.8% of the parasites. 13 cases of parasites associations have been founded. The cryptosporidies have been founded in 3 stools, and constitute 4.6% of the whole parasites. The cryptosporidiosis take a little place among the intestinal diseases in Dakar's children.
Fire intensity, fire severity and burn severity: a brief review and suggested usage

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Several recent papers have suggested replacing the terminology of fire intensity and fire severity. Part of the problem with fire intensity is that it is sometimes used incorrectly to describe fire effects, when in fact it is justifiably restricted to measures of energy output. Increasingly, the term has created confusion because some authors have restricted its usage to a single measure of energy output referred to as fireline intensity. This metric is most useful in understanding fire behavior in forests, but is too narrow to fully capture the multitude of ways fire energy affects ecosystems. Fire intensity represents the energy released during various phases of a fire, and different metrics such as reaction intensity, fireline intensity, temperature, heating duration and radiant energy are useful for different purposes. Fire severity, and the related term burn severity, have created considerable confusion because of recent changes in their usage. Some authors have justified this by contending that fire severity is defined broadly as ecosystem impacts from fire and thus is open to individual interpretation. However, empirical studies have defined fire severity operationally as the loss of or change in organic matter aboveground and belowground, although the precise metric varies with management needs. Confusion arises because fire or burn severity is sometimes defined so that it also includes ecosystem responses. Ecosystem responses include soil erosion, vegetation regeneration, restoration of community structure, faunal recolonization, and a plethora of related response variables. Although some ecosystem responses are correlated with measures of fire or burn severity, many important ecosystem processes have either not been demonstrated to be predicted by severity indices or have been shown in some vegetation types to be unrelated to severity. This is a critical issue because fire or burn severity are readily measurable parameters, both on the ground and with remote sensing, yet ecosystem responses are of most interest to resource managers.
Multi-Dimensional Self-Assembly of a Dual-Responsive ABC Miktoarm Star Terpolymer

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

This letter reports the first 2D self-assembly of ABC miktoarm star terpolymers based on dual-responsive polycaprolactone-arm-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-arm-poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (μ-CID), which self-assembled into multilayer nanosheets comprising polycaprolactone single crystals in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/methanol mixed solvents. Interestingly, the nanosheets showed pH-responsive morphological transitions in aqueous solutions, yielding multidimensional assemblies, including 2D hexagonal aggregates, patchy nanofibrils, and patchy vesicles, at different pH values. The nanosheets also exhibited thermoresponsive transition to spherical patchy micelles at a temperature above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) block. This study offers a novel system for fundamental study on the self-assembly of miktoarm star terpolymers.
Compensation of Frequency Fluctuation in a Single Area Power System Using LQR-VC

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To maintain the power system stability frequency fluctuation should be eliminated within the shortest possible time. A new control scheme combining linear quadratic regulator (LQR) along with a vibration compensator (VC) is proposed in this paper for the robust control of frequency fluctuation due to load variation in a single area generating system. The proposed LQR controller is used for compensation of error deviation and the augmented VC to damp the frequency fluctuation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LQR-VC controller its performance is contrasted with the automatic generation control (AGC) scheme, existing PID, and LQR controller.
Comparative effects of TGFbeta on proliferation of 7- and 14-day-old chick embryo fibroblasts and lack of involvement of the ODC/PA system in the TGFbeta signaling pathway

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The growth regulatory activity of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) on chick embryo skin fibroblasts was compared in two developmental ages, days 7 and 14. The time course of 3H-thymidine incorporation, an S-phase marker of replication, was determined during 36 hr of TGFβ treatment. Seven-day-old cells showed a prereplicative phase of 6 hr, and 14-day-old cells showed a prereplicative phase of 12 hr. DNA synthesis peaked at 24 hr in 7-day-old fibroblasts and was 10 times higher than that in 14-day-old fibroblasts. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and content of the natural polyamines spermine (Spm), spermidine (Spd), and putrescine (Put) differed during cell cycle. ODC activity peaked at 12 hr in 7-day-old cells and at 6 hr in 14-day-old cells. Its level was two times higher at day 7 and was associated with a greater content of ODC mRNA. The maximum of polyamine (PA) concentration was determined after 12 hr of treatment in 7-day-old cells and after 36 hr in 14-day-old cells. These findings indicate that the TGFβ proliferative response of embryo fibroblasts changes during development and is associated with activation of the ODC/PA system. Cotreatment with α-difluoromethylornithine, an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of ODC, did not reduced growth rate. Inhibition of ODC resulted in levels of Put and Spd comparable to that of quiescent fibroblasts, whereas Spm concentration remained higher. Because an altered ODC metabolism does not convey the effects of TGFβ on DNA synthesis, the ODC/PA system may not play a role in the pathway of TGFβ signaling. J. Cell. Physiol. 178:304–310, 1999.

Particle-Beam-Driven ICF Experiments

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The key parameters for achieving the final goals of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) with laser or particle beams have been semiquantitatively derived and have been published by the leading laboratories. Experiments with particle-beam-driven ICF have to In addition to addressing these primary goals that are directly related to ICF physics, beam target experiments are essential for diagnosing the structure and dynamics of the high-power particle beams during generation, transport, and final focusing on the target. To comprehend light-ion ICF target physics and diagnostics of high-power light-ion beams, one needs the quantitative understanding of the beam deposition in beam-heated dense target matter of arbitrary constitution. Theory predicts significant changes in the stopping power of matter for an ion beam when the distribution of bound and free electrons in the target changes or when the charge state of the traversing beam ions changes.

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This research aims to analyze indicators of competitiveness of Ukraine economy in contrast to consistent indicators of the EU counties’ economies in context of forward-looking perspective on integration Ukraine into the EU, as well as examine the national index of intellectual capital considering each of its dimensions (human capital, market capital, process capital and renewal capital) within three pillars: Education, R&D, New Business, and explore the potential for growth of Ukraine’s economic competitiveness global given its innovation aspects. The study uses a mixed approach, including factorial analysis and descriptive statistics, using a sample of 27 the EU economies and Ukraine’s economy. The study shows Ukraine has significant innovative potential, high level of higher education and training. It is a crucial competitive advantage, providing successful economic development and accelerating integration Ukraine into the EU. Only through developing of advanced technologies and implementing them in all sphere, stable pace of economic growth and welfare of the nation can be achieved in the conditions of globalization. The restraining factors are corruption, political instability, inflation, and ineffective state policy. In order to be more innovative and, hence, competitive, Ukraine needs to focus more on the structural and comprehensive reforms of institutional environment, concerning the ethical behavior of companies, the protection of property and intellectual property rights, transparency in the adoption of state decisions, the independence of the judiciary, the efficiency of the use of the state budget, public trust in politicians etc. Future studies may explore the opportunities for enhancing innovation performance based on the management of intellectual capital in more detail, using larger sample sizes.
Tumor Resistance to Alkylating Agents Conferred by Mechanisms Operative Only in Vivo

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

EMT-6 murine mammary tumors were made resistant to cis -diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP), carboplatin, cyclophosphamide (CTX), or thiotepa in vivo by treatment of tumor-bearing animals with the drug during a 6-month period. In spite of high levels of in vivo resistance, no significant resistance was observed when the cells from these tumors were exposed to the drugs in vitro. The pharmacokinetics of CDDP and CTX were altered in animals bearing the respective resistant tumors. The resistance of all tumor lines except for the EMT-6/thiotepa decreased during 3 to 6 months in vivo passage in the absence of drugs. These results indicate that very high levels of resistance to anticancer drugs can develop through mechanisms that are expressed only in vivo.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of Tetragonula sapiens propolis collected from North Luwu, Sulawesi, Indonesia to treat anemia in adolescent girls. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-test—the post-test design was applied, and 44 respondents were chosen by using purposive sampling. The respondents were divided into two groups. Each group was given iron supplement every day. For the intervention group, the respondents consumed 5 drops of propolis for three times a day. Meanwhile, for the control group, IPI vitamin C was given instead of propolis. The intervention was given for 30 d in a row. The hemoglobin (Hb) level measurement was conducted after 30 d. Results: The results showed that the Hb levels of the intervention group were higher compared to the control group after propolis was given for 30 d. The result of the analysis showed a significant value of (2-tailed) 0.000<0.05. Conclusion: Tetragonula sapiens propolis could be used to increase the Hb levels in anemic adolescent girl.
Capillary growth and regression in skeletal muscle

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A muscle capillary network is composed of capillaries and anastomoses, and can be modulated under varying conditions. Although exercise induces growth in the capillary network in healthy individuals, physical deconditioning and diabetes cause regression in the capillary network of skeletal muscle. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical factor in maintaining the capillary network in skeletal muscle. In addition, the angiopoietin system, is a second family of essential growth factors, that has been identified. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) are important angiogenic factors that bind to their common receptor Tie-2 and assist in vascular development and remodeling. Recent studies have demonstrated the contribution of anti-angiogenic factors in controlling angiogenesis in skeletal muscle. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) was shown to be an angiogenesis inhibitor. A balance between pro- and anti-angiogenic factors tightly modulates capillary regression or growth. A chronic decrease in loading and activity resulted in a regression in the capillary network. We have recently shown that the levels of Ang-1 were lower, while levels of Ang-2 were unaffected in atrophied skeletal muscle. Accordingly, the Ang-2/Ang-1 ratio was higher. In addition, the VEGF/TSP-1 ratio was lower. Thus, capillary regression and growth are associated with complex pro- and anti-angiogenic factors in skeletal muscle. Meanwhile, exercise prevents capillary regression associated with a balance between pro- and anti-angiogenic factors in impaired skeletal muscle. Our study provided clear evidence of reduced oxidative enzyme activity levels and capillary regression in skeletal muscle of diabetes. Therefore, exercise has high potential for preventing capillary regression in impaired muscle.
