Mushtaq Bilal, PhDResearcher @ Syddansk Universitet Loved by 1 million+ researchers from RECENTLY ADDED BY AUTHORS Peri-Implant Sulcular Fluid (PISF) Nitric Oxide (NO) as an Early Marker of Inflammation Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Nitric oxide (NO) plays an essential role in the regulation of peri-implant soft tissue inflammation, immunomodulation, antimicrobial defense, and anabolic and bone resorption processes.The alterations of NO play important role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis.OBJECTIVES In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of the peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF) nitric oxide (NO) as a marker of early inflammation.METHODS Overall, 20 practically healthy persons (aged from 18 to 65 years) with a dental implant placed in the chewing group of teeth, good oral cavity hygiene (Board index <20%), and the need for rehabilitation were included in the study.The content of nitric oxide (NO) in PISF was measured before and 1, 2, and 3 months after implantation and compared with similar values of GSF of healthy teeth. RESULTSThe Herniarin-treated mice showed approximately the same results as irradiated mice on post-irradiation days 2 and 7. Furthermore, on days 14 and 30 absorption spectrum of erythrocyte membrane proteins significantly increased (P<0.05) in the Herniarin-treated experimental group.In the CSF of healthy teeth of studied patients, NO content did not significantly change during the post-implantation period, while the NO concentration in PISF was statistically higher than the initial level in the first and second post-implantation months (25.09±0.77μM and 19.47±0.84μM, respectively), and returned to the nearly initial level 3 months after implantation (17.19±0.5 μM). CONCLUSIONSThe results of the present study indicate the importance of NO metabolism to the inflammatory process around dental implants.PISF appears to have diagnostic potential for early prediction of inflammation after implantation.Further studies are needed to evaluate and compare PISF and GCF, especially concerning the inflammatory process and bone remodeling.KEYWORDS Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF); nitric oxide (NO); peri-implant inflammation; peri-implant sulcular fluid (PISF). Analysis of the Diagnostic Markers in Patients with Post-COVID-19 Disorders Georgian Biomedical News Background: The post-COVID complications have turned out to be an urgent problem.Most patients suffered from dry, lingering cough of assault character, shortness of breath, sweating, weakness, fatigue, and other symptoms and signs.There is a need to study the functional status of the respiratory system and provide permanent monitoring of laboratory markers among patients with post-COVID-19 disorders.Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the functional status of the respiratory system and laboratory markers among Georgian patients with post-COVID-19 disorders.Methods: 157 patients (18 to 75 years of age, 88 women and 69 men) with post-COVID-19 disorders were involved in the study and evaluated according to the following plan: (i) collection of anamnesis; (ii) assessment of the functional state of external respiration performed by a modern, computerized spirometer -Spirolab 3; (iii) analysis of laboratory markers, such as D-dimer, coagulogram, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), total IgE and vitamin D. Based on the obtained results, the patients were distributed among two groups: 101 (64%) patients with post-COVID-19 respiratory disorders in study group I, and 56 (36%) patients without post-COVID-19 disorders -in control group II.Results: No reliable changes (p<0.05) in the spirometry parameters (FEV1; FVC; FEV1/ FVC) were observed in the study group.PEF < 70% peak expiratory flow was reduced in only 43 (42%) patients, compared to the norm.Mild restriction and irreversible obstruction were observed in 25 (24%) cases.In the control group, the spirometry indicators varied within the referral ranges.Among the correlogram markers, fibrinogen concentration was increased in most cases, namely in 51 (50%) patients.In addition, in 35 (34%) of 157 patients studied, a slight increase in the DD marker was revealed (218.5 ±2.45 (norm < 200)); It should be emphasized that the increase in CRP was observed in 16 (15%) patients involved in this study; Only 2 (1.9%) patients with complicated respiratory changes showed a slight increase in procalcitonin levels.Detection of interleukin-6 showed an increase in the level of this marker in 38 (37 %) patients, while in the patients of the control group, changes in the markers mentioned above were revealed in single case: fibrinogen level in 4 (7%); DD -9 (16%); CRP -2 (1.9%); procalcitonin -2(1.9%);Interleukin-6 -in 5 (8.9%), respectively.The allergy marker total IgE was revealed in 34 (33%) of the studied patients, while among the control group patients, it was fixed in 12 (21%).Vitamin D insufficiency was detected in 31 (31%) patients, deficiency in 35 (35%), and normal level in only 34 (34%) patients, respectively.In contrast, in the control group, insufficiency was detected only in 11 (19.7%),deficiency in 15 (26.8%), and norm in 30 (53.5%) patients.Conclusions: The study has shown the necessity of monitoring laboratory biomarkers such as vitamin D, IL-6, and total IgE, as well as conducting computerized spirometry in patients with post-COVID-19 respiratory disorders. Epstein-Barr Virus Infection in Children Following Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a human herpesvirus with potent B cell growth transforming ability, induces multiple cellular immune responses in the infected host.According to the most recent evidence, the Epstein-Barr virus is characterized by lifetime latency in B cells and intermittent recrudescence of lytic infection triggered by stresses.Furthermore, several investigations have hypothesized that autoimmune mechanisms and the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 virus fragments induce the development of long-term COVID-19.Therefore, other latent host viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus, play an important role.OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to provide insight into clinical-laboratory aspects in pediatric patients with EBV after COVID-19.METHODS This prospective study was conducted from November 2021 to November 2022 at the Tbilisi state medical university G. Zhvania Pediatric Academic Clinic.1-3 years old, 81 outpatients with EBV infection (male 42 [51,8%] and female 66 [48,1%]) were distributed into basic (42 patients after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection) and control groups (32 patients without a history of COVDI-19).All study subjects had EBV infection markers, and conventional clinical/laboratory indices evaluated. RESULTSThe incidence of EBV infection is high (60.4%) in the post-COVID-19 period.Tonsil enlargement, cough, and splenomegaly were more prevalent in the basic group than in the control group: 85,7% vs. 40,6%, 81,6%, 85,7% vs. 20,5%, and 79,5% vs. 25,6%, respectively.CONCLUSIONS The increased incidence of EBV infection in children after the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge requiring optimized clinical care strategies. Chemical Composition and Biological Activity of Aerial Parts of Thymus collinus Bieb. Growing in Georgia Georgian Biomedical News Background: Thymus L is one of the most important genera of the Lamiaceae family.In traditional medicine, leaves and flowers of Thymus species are used as a tonic, antiseptic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antitussive.Complex medicines are prepared from Thymus species, such as Neopertussin and Pertussin.Objectives: The research aimed to study essential oil's chemical composition and biological from aerial part of Thymus collinus Bieb.endemic species growing in Georgia.Methods: Thymus collinus aerial parts essential oil were hydro-distilled with a Clevenger-type apparatus.The quantitative content of the dominant compound thymol was determined.In order to develop a rational use of raw material and a resource-saving technology, the study on biologically active, nonvolatile substances in the residual plant material was continued.The aqueous extract was lyophilized, and the dried residual plant material was successfully extracted with chloroform and methanol.The obtained extracts were dried using a rotary evaporator.Essential oil DPPH radical scavenging capacity was evaluated.Also, the antibacterial activity of essential oil was evaluated using five different strains.Essential oil cytotoxic screening was conducted against lung carcinoma A-549, colon carcinoma DLD-1, and human normal fibroblasts WS-1 cell lines.Total phenolic content in aqueous, methanolic, and chloroformic extracts was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu (FC) reagent.Essential oil, aqueous, methanolic, and chloroformic extracts antioxidant activity was evaluated using ORAC test and tests on human skin fibroblast (WS1).Also, anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated (inhibition of nitric oxide production).Results: In the essential oil from aerial parts of Thymus collinus, endemic to the Caucasus, the major constituents are thymol (42.62 %) and carvacrol (16.51 %).Among the terpene compounds, oxygenated monoterpenes are dominants -63.23 %.A high content of phenols (53.2 ± 0.9 %) was detected in aqueous extract.Essential oil's scavenging rate of DPPH free radicals was 94.2 % at a concentration of 2.87 mg/ml.The essential oil showed high antioxidant activity in the ORAC and in vitro tests using a cellular model (WS-1).At the same time, essential oil showed high antibacterial activity against 5 (Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) strains.Thymus collinus essential oil at 80 μg/ml has inhibited NO production by 63 %; no toxicity was revealed even at 160 μg/ml concentration.Thymus collins aqueous extract showed high antioxidant activity in the ORAC test (3.38 ± 0.05 μmol TE/mg); in the case of methanolic extract, slight anti-inflammatory activity was revealed.Essential oil demonstrated moderate general cytotoxicity (85 ± 16 µg/ml) against lung carcinoma (A-549).Conclusions: Thymol is the main component in Thymus collinus essential oil; oxygenated monoterpenes are abundant in essential oil.EO exhibited high antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities.Based on the results, Thymus collinus Bieb., an endemic species to Caucasus, may be used as a substitute raw material for officinal species. Monitoring Restoration of the Eastern Usangu Wetland by Assessment of Land Use and Cover Changes Prosper Laurent Mfilinge 27 Jun 2016 Conflicting interests in the use and management of wetlands have always resulted in their degradation.The degradation of wetlands affects their natural functioning, environmental health and livelihood of the people who depend on them.The eastern Usangu wetland has suffered a lot from multiple-use pressure arising from both national and local interests.As a result, the government banned the use of the wetland in 2006 to support its restoration process.The aim of the current study was to assess the restoration process of the eastern Usangu wetland using time-series Landsat images over a 20-year period, from 1995 to 2015.Cross-tabulation of composite NDVI images was used to examine the changes.The results indicate that the land cover declined by 20% between 1995 and 2005, and increased by more than 25% between 2005 and 2015.The size of the permanent swamp increased consistently, by more than 15% between 1995 and 2015.Wetland use has declined to about 15% over the 20 years.Wetland restoration seems to be a slow process that depends on multiple factors.It thus is important that wetlands are managed well for sustained benefits, rather than waiting to rescue them in a crisis.The well-being of the people depending on the wetlands should be considered when implementing measures to protect the wetlands.Awareness creation among the users, diversification of sources of income and enforcement of the laws and policies governing the use of wetlands by the government may improve status of wetlands. The High-Grade Oxidative Profile (OXpr), Aortic Stiffness Parameters, and Hemogram-Derived Indices (HDI) as Predictors of Long-Term Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs) Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Patients with Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and Chronic Coronary Syndrome (CCS) Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Despite the achievements in the management of coronary heart disease (CHD), there is a need to appropriately tailor the long-term management strategies and risk stratification, particularly after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of a non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).OBJECTIVES The Present study aimed to (i) evaluate the long-term cardiovascular prognostic value of oxidative stress markers, arterial stiffness parameters, and hemogram-derived inflammatory indices and (ii) compare the long-term predictive performance of the abovementioned markers with the periprocedural SYNTAX score II (SS-II) in Georgian patients following PCI.METHODS After PCI because of NSTE-ACS or CCS, the annual incidence of 6-component MACEs, and values of the oxidative profile, arterial stiffness measurements, and hemogram-derived indices (HDI) were measured during the 36-month follow-up period in the development (100 patients with NSTE-ACS) and validation cohorts (91 patients with CCS), respectively.RESULTS By the multiple regression analysis NLR (0.505±0.069, p<0.0001),OXpr (0.181±0.076, p=0.018),SBPao (0.174±0.076, p=0.023), and PLR (0.164±0.056, p=0.004) are positively correlated with 36-month MACEs.CONCLUSIONS The oxidative stress profile, central systolic blood pressure, and hemogram-derived indices such as neutrophil-lymphocyte and monocytelymphocyte ratios may be novel independent predictors of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events.KEYWORDS Central systolic blood pressure (SBPao); chronic coronary syndrome (CCS); major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs); neutrophil-tolymphocyte ratio (NLR); non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS); oxidative profile (OXpr); platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Frequent Cases of Spondylarthritis and Hereditary Propensity (HLA-B27) in the Same Family Name Relatives from the Keda Region of Ajara, Georgia Georgian Biomedical News Background: Typical clinical characteristics of spondyloarthropathies (SpA) include inflammatory back pain (caused by sacroiliitis and peripheral oligoarthritis), enteropathy, anterior uveitis, and an association with HLA-B27.The disease begins in the second or third decade of life and affects more men than women.The prevalence of SpA among first-degree relatives of the affected patients was found to be 12%.Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is the most common subgroup of SpA, with a crucial role for HLA-B27 in the pathogenesis.HLA-B27 presents in 88-90% of AS patients, compared to 4-8% among the general population.Objectives: In this study, we explored the relationship and hereditary propensity of the same family name relatives from the Keda region of Ajara, Georgia, where we frequently encountered cases of ankylosing spondylitis.Methods: The study was conducted at the Clinic "SoloMed" and "Merlab" Laboratory Services from 05.01-10.03,2023, using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results: Among the 105 evaluated participants included in this study (average age of 40.5 [15-60] years), 53.33% (n=56) were females, and 46.67% (n=49) were males.The highly HLA-B27-positive individuals were six males aged ≥56 years and two women between the ages of 26 and 35.In the relatives with the same family names, 14.29% (n=15) were HLA-B27 positive.Conclusions: The same family name relatives from the Keda region of Ajara, Georgia, showed a considerably higher risk of the distribution of ankylosing spondylitis (14.29). The Experimental Models of Acute Pancreatitis Georgian Biomedical News Acute pancreatitis is a severe condition that has a high mortality rate.Animal models of acute pancreatitis have been created to address this issue.Animal models can consistently induce mild, moderate, or severe acute pancreatitis.Caerulein, an analog of cholecystokinin, is administered at supramaximal doses to elicit acute pancreatitis and is one of the most widely used models.In this model, rats develop acute mild edematous pancreatitis, while mice that receive caerulein administration experience acute necrotizing pancreatitis.The most widely used model of acute severe necrotizing pancreatitis in rats is acute pancreatitis induced by the administration of an overdose of caerulein.It is possible to rule out the impact of neurological and hormonal variables on the onset of acute pancreatitis using ex vivo models. Morphological Changes Around the Portal Complex and Hepatic Vein During Experimental Cholangitis Georgian Biomedical News Background: Cholangitis, or acute inflammation of the bile ducts, is associated with infection in the bile ducts during severe obstruction.Cholangitis is considered a clinical condition that requires urgent treatment.Despite a wide range of surgical methods, the search for the most effective method to treat cholangitis efficiently continues today.Against this background, studies on the portal triad structures are undoubtedly relevant.Objectives: This study aims to study the morphological changes of the biliary vascular structures of the portal triad and the hepatic veins during experimental cholangitis.Methods: Twenty-five rat models were used for experimental cholangitis.Morphological changes of the portal triad structures and hepatic veins were studied by histological (hematoxylin and eosin staining), immunohistochemical (Pan Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 staining), and histochemical (Masson's Trichrome staining) methods.Results: There are infiltration areas around the portal triad; the bile ducts are dilated, infiltrative changes are observed on the atrophied walls, and sharp sinusoidal dilatation, edema, and hemorrhage are revealed.Microthrombi and inflammatory processes with lymphocytes and neutrophils are detected in the central vein.Bacterial colonies are present in the bile ducts.Conclusions: During cholangitis, pathological processes in the liver develop very quickly.The bile is infected; due to many bacteria and a high concentration of endotoxins, inflammatory reactions develop in the sinusoids.Severe venous outflow impairment takes place. The High-Grade Oxidative Profile (OXpr), Aortic Stiffness Parameters, and Hemogram-Derived Indices (HDI) as Predictors of Long-Term Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs) Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in Patients with Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and Chronic Coronary Syndrome (CCS) Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Despite the achievements in the management of coronary heart disease (CHD), there is a need to appropriately tailor the long-term management strategies and risk stratification, particularly after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) because of a non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).OBJECTIVES The Present study aimed to (i) evaluate the long-term cardiovascular prognostic value of oxidative stress markers, arterial stiffness parameters, and hemogram-derived inflammatory indices and (ii) compare the long-term predictive performance of the abovementioned markers with the periprocedural SYNTAX score II (SS-II) in Georgian patients following PCI.METHODS After PCI because of NSTE-ACS or CCS, the annual incidence of 6-component MACEs, and values of the oxidative profile, arterial stiffness measurements, and hemogram-derived indices (HDI) were measured during the 36-month follow-up period in the development (100 patients with NSTE-ACS) and validation cohorts (91 patients with CCS), respectively.RESULTS By the multiple regression analysis NLR (0.505±0.069, p<0.0001),OXpr (0.181±0.076, p=0.018),SBPao (0.174±0.076, p=0.023), and PLR (0.164±0.056, p=0.004) are positively correlated with 36-month MACEs.CONCLUSIONS The oxidative stress profile, central systolic blood pressure, and hemogram-derived indices such as neutrophil-lymphocyte and monocytelymphocyte ratios may be novel independent predictors of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events.KEYWORDS Central systolic blood pressure (SBPao); chronic coronary syndrome (CCS); major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs); neutrophil-tolymphocyte ratio (NLR); non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS); oxidative profile (OXpr); platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Understanding the Complexities of Melanoma Immunobiology and a Review of Immunotherapeutic Checkpoint Inhibitors Georgian Biomedical News Melanoma immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment approach for advanced melanoma, a lethal form of skin cancer.Despite the remarkable clinical outcomes observed with immune checkpoint inhibitors, melanoma still poses significant therapeutic challenges.In this review, we discuss the immune landscape of melanoma, including the interactions between tumor cells and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, according to the latest research studies.We also cover the immunobiology of melanoma and the mechanisms by which melanoma can evade immunosurveillance.Additionally, the review highlights emerging immunotherapeutic strategies that can overcome these mechanisms, including combination therapies and the use of novel agents that target immune checkpoints, their efficacy, and potential adverse effects.The goal of this timely review is to provide an up-to-date understanding of the complex interplay between melanoma and the immune system, and to identify new opportunities for developing effective melanoma immunotherapies. Comparative Analysis of Pilonidal Abscess Drainage Georgian Biomedical News Background: A chronic sinus or a fast recurrence occurs after simple drainage of an acute pilonidal abscess.It is reasonable to expect that the risk of recurrence will reduce if the acute abscess is removed with minimal excision of the primary orifices.Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of pilonidal abscess drainage performed by minimal excision of the primary ducts.Methods: From January 2019 through April 2022, 120 patients with pilonidal abscesses underwent outpatient proctology surgeries at the Todua Clinic (19 females, 101 males; age range, 18-57 years).60 underwent drainage through an incision made by minimal excision of the primary ducts (Group 1), and the other 60 underwent simple drainage by dissection of the skin closest to the abscess (Group 2).Complete wound healing, the time of healing, recurrence, and complication rates were the primary comparison and success criteria defined.The length of the procedure, the time spent in the hospital, the time missed from work, the severity of the intraoperative pain, and the postoperative cosmetic outcomes were secondary variables.After surgery, an average follow-up time was 28 months (12-42 months).Results: In the simple drainage group, complete healing was achieved in 35 patients (58.3%), and in the excision group -in 58 patients (96.6%) -Chi2=25.07,p<0.001.Wound healing was rapid in the simple drainage group -3.1±1.4 weeks, and 5.3±1.8weeks -in the excision group (p<0.001).There were no significant differences in terms of complication rates.In the simple drainage group, an abscess developed in 1 case (1.66%) within 10 days after surgery; in the excision group, a wound infection developed in 2 cases (3.3%).In the simple drainage group, recurrence occurred in 15 cases (25.0%), and in the excision group -in 1 case (1.7%) -OR=19.7 (95%CI -2.5-154.5, p=0.005).No significant difference was found in cosmetic results, length of hospital delay, and period off work.Conclusions: Compared to simple drainage, pilonidal abscess drainage with excision of the primary ducts has a significantly better rate of complete cure and a lower recurrence rate.It is a safe outpatient operation that can be recommended as the first-line therapy for an acute pilonidal abscess. Technology and Composition of Saperavi-Based Cosmetic Emulgel Georgian Biomedical News Background: In recent years, wine has gained increasing recognition as a functional food product that is essential for the treatment and prevention of various kinds of diseases.Saperavi grape variety, which has a high concentration of phenolic compounds, is particularly noteworthy from the perspective of its application in cosmetology practices.Objectives: In this research, we have determined the recipe and developed the technology of the cosmetic emulgel that contains wine and oil of the Georgian grape variety "Saperavi."Methods: Modern pharmaco-technological, biopharmaceutical, physicochemical, and structural and mechanical methods were used in the research.The pH of the aqueous fluid extraction of the researched emulgels was determined by the potentiometric titration method.The osmotic activity of emulgels was determined by the gravimetric method.The colloidal stability of emulgels was determined on a laboratory centrifuge.The rheological characteristics of the composition were studied on a Viscometer RVDV-1 T. Results: Based on biopharmaceutical studies, the recipe of Saperavi emulgel was developed with the following composition: saperavi wine 20.0 g, carbopol 940 -1.5 g, propylene glycol -5.0 g, glycerin -5.0 g, Saperavi grapeseed oil -5.0 g, Tween 80 -1.0 g, sodium hydroxide -0.8 g, sorbic acid -0.45 g, potassium sorbate -0.15 g, purified water up to 100.0 g.Using Saperavi emulgel on the clean facial skin of volunteers for 21 days led to a sharp reduction in oiliness, cleansing of pores, reduction in the number of keratinocytes, and noticeable whitening of pigment spots.Conclusions: Overall, the Saperavi wine cosmetic emulgel formula and technology have been developed through this study.Additionally, the developed emulgel demonstrated some therapeutic benefits on volunteers' skin. Litter dynamics and particulate organic matter outwelling from a subtropical mangrove in Okinawa Island, South Japan Prosper Laurent Mfilinge Litter dynamics and outwelling of particulate organic matter (POM) was investigated in a subtropical mangrove (Okinawa Island, South Japan) in order to quantify the impact of mangrove POM on adjacent intertidal sediments.A distinct seasonal pattern was found with maximum litter fall during the autumn season, and minimum during winter.Total litter production between sites did not differ significantly.Tall mangroves (average 7 m) did not show any higher contribution to the litter production than short mangroves (average 4 m).The mean annual litter production was 12.95 G 2.95 t ha ÿ1 (dry weight) with leaf fall contributing more than 70% of the total litter production.Analysis of fatty acids (FAs) in the surface sediments of an adjacent mud flat and sand flat during the winter, spring and autumn seasons indicated that outwelling of POM from the mangrove ecosystem occurs.However, it is spatially restricted to within 300 m from the mangrove forest.The magnitude of the outwelling increased during spring and autumn consistent with the increase in the total litter production.Despite the presence of mangrove-derived organic matter in the estuarine surface sediments, autochthonous sources of organic matter, green macroalgae (Ulva pertusa and Enteromorpha intestinalis), diatoms and bacteria are the main contributors of sedimentary organic matter and u3 and u6 PUFAs than mangrove-derived (POM) during winter and spring.While the contribution of mangrove-derived POM to sedimentary organic matter is limited to the autumn season. Right Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain and Its Role in the Prediction of Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiovascular Toxicity Georgian Biomedical News Chemotherapy-induced cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) poses a substantial risk to cancer patients, predominantly affecting the left ventricle (LV).However, recent insights underscore the right ventricle's (RV) vulnerability to these deleterious effects.This paradigm shift has prompted a burgeoning interest in systematically evaluating the RV in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.Notably, the RV may manifest signs of dysfunction preceding those in the LV, necessitating meticulous monitoring and early intervention.Over the past few years, studies have increasingly emphasized the importance of scrutinizing the RV in the context of cancer treatments.The early detection of RV dysfunction emerges as a critical factor in preventing progressive damage and enhancing overall cardiac function.The focus on diligent monitoring and timely intervention in the right ventricle highlights a paradigmatic shift in cardio-oncology practices.This abstract underscore the current landscape in which right ventricle dysfunction (RVD) has become a pivotal area of focus within cardio-oncology.By recognizing the susceptibility of the RV to chemotherapy-induced toxicity, clinicians can implement proactive measures to mitigate potential cardiac complications.As the understanding of these dynamics evolves, this heightened awareness promises to shape future strategies for the comprehensive care of cancer patients, emphasizing preserving both left and right ventricular function throughout treatment.

The Key Issues Related to Features and Perspectives of Antioxidants in Asthma and Allergy Pharmacotherapy Georgian Biomedical News The review aims to highlight the anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory potential of some antioxidants in the pharmacological treatment of asthma and allergies.Under various physiological and pathological conditions, oxidative stress is both a result of and a contributor to redox metabolism.To effectively manage existing issues, it may be essential to understand the molecular mechanisms of basal oxidative stress and the role of antioxidants.It has been demonstrated that antioxidants can change the biomarkers of allergic inflammation and other consequences of allergy.Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and control the level of cholesterol and other lipids in the blood.Antioxidants have anticancer activity due to prevention and inhibition of cancer cell growth.Antioxidants stimulate and activate the regeneration of normal, healthy cells.The complexity of each response and the multiple physiological effects complicate clinical studies of antioxidant therapy.Based on the existing evidence, we believe that antioxidants like zeolin-containing Geomin Forte have promising perspectives as adjunctive pharmacotherapy for asthma and allergic diseases. Novel Bronchoscopic Management of Bleeding from The Respiratory Tract Georgian Biomedical News Background: Surgery is generally considered the treatment of choice for pulmonary hemorrhage.Unfortunately, existing data on alternative treatment methods are very scarce.However, the use of bronchoscopic procedures in managing such issues is gaining acceptance.Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to improve the efficacy of managing pulmonary bleeding with a new interventional bronchoscopic procedure such as endobronchial valve placement (EVP).Methods: For the first time in Georgia, we used a novel bronchoscopic procedure known as EVP with Medlung endobronchial valves.Results: In the patients who underwent EVP, the survival rate of 180 days after the intervention was 85.7%, compared to 54.3% in the conservative treatment group.Furthermore, it should be emphasized that sudden deaths because of profuse pulmonary bleeding did not occur in the research group.At the same time, 5 (19.23%) cases of pulmonary bleeding death occurred in the control group.Conclusions: EVP demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in pulmonary bleeding, with a lower death rate, while surgery is linked with a significantly higher risk. Heterogeneity correction in the construction of optimized planning in radiotherapy using linear programming Paulo Roberto da Fonseca Filho A radiotherapy planning is considered optimal when all the parameters involved, physical or biological, have been investigated and appropriate for each patient.In this type of planning, the major concern is with the tumor irradiation with the minimum possible damage to healthy tissues of the irradiated region, especially the organs at risk.The optimal planning for radiotherapy can be aided by Linear Programming and there is a wide literature addressing this subject.However, most published mathematical formulations do not contemplate a scenario in terms of practical applications, because they do not incorporate the heterogeneous composition of the irradiated tissue.This paper presents a methodology for heterogeneity correction in the composition of different types of irradiated tissues based on proportions among their different linear attenuation coefficient. The Diagnostic Value of MRI in Children with Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis Georgian Biomedical News Musculoskeletal infections are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide.This disease category includes osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, although this review will focus on the specific case of osteomyelitis.Osteomyelitis is a bone infection that occurs more often in the long bones and can develop in children of any age.Radiological signs obtained by magnetic resonance imaging such as bone marrow edema, intraosseous microabscesses, subperiosteal collection (subperiosteal abscess), sharp infiltration of soft tissues, interfascial fluid effusion, periosteum disintegration, inhomogeneity of the femur and deformed contours were the signs, based on which acute hematogenous osteomyelitis was diagnosed.Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can detect radiological signs of a similar type in the early stages of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, which is essential role in the timely detection of the disease and the development of a treatment plan.It should be noted that ionizing radiation is not used during MRI, and the patient's body is unaffected by radiation. High risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND: Psoriasis has recently been associated with systemic inflammation.Chronic skin inflammation leads to systemic inflammation, which triggers oxidative stress, dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, and insulin resistance, increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications in these patients.Although the link between dyslipidemia and psoriasis has been demonstrated through various worldwide studies, dyslipidemia in psoriatic patients is frequently neglected and mistreated in daily practice.Furthermore, epidemiological studies have revealed that the life expectancy of patients with severe psoriasis is 3 to 5 years lower than that of non-psoriatic controls due to comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular disease (CVD).Consequently, many recent studies have stressed the importance of further screening laboratory markers for the early identification of cardiovascular risk factors and their follow-up.OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to assess lipid profiles in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis to find cardiovascular disease risk factors and identify a possible association between the c risk score and plaque psoriasis severity.METHODS: We investigated the lipid profiles of 70 patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (CPP) and 30 healthy individuals.The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) was used to determine the severity of psoriasis.In addition, all patients completed Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire.RESULTS: Elevated concentration of total serum cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and low concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was detected in psoriasis patients compared to controls.Above mentioned alterations were more prominent in female patients with severe psoriasis.CONCLUSIONS: Dyslipidemia is a common finding in patients with psoriasis and correlates with the severity of psoriasis.Lipid profiles should be a part of routine screening tests in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis for the early identification of dyslipidemia and the timely initiation of lipid-lowering treatment. Microstructural Features of Primula woronowii Losinsk., Primula macrocalyx Bunge. and Primula saguramica Gavr. from Georgian Flora Georgian Biomedical News Background: The characterization and study of plants begin with the study of morphological and micro-diagnostic signs.It is essential to determine the common and distinguishing features of the species of the genus Primula to facilitate their identification.Objectives: The paper presents the macro-and micromorphological characteristics of three species of the genus Primula L.: P. woronowii Losinsk., P. macrocalyx Bunge, and P. saguramica Gavr.In addition, based on the microstructural and anatomical characteristics, the paper distinguishes between two closely related species: P. macrocalyx Bunge and P. saguramica Gavr.Methods: Microstructural research on experimental samples was carried out using standard laboratory methods adopted in microtechnology.The microtechnical investigation used light microscopes (Carl Zeiss, Jeneval, and Omax).Materials were documented using a digital camera (Canon Digital IXUS 75), and microphotographs were graphically processed in the Adobe Photoshop CS5 program.Results: Based on the data, the following common and distinguishing microstructural features of P. woronowii, P. macrocalyx, and P. saguramica were established: The basal cells of the epidermis of the leaf of the studied species are non-circular, with a curved and curved-walled structure;The ventilation system is simple, a normocytic structure; the leaf is bifacial Dorsoventra luri, amphistomatous (P.woronowii, P. saguramica), and hypostomatic (P.macrocalyx); Conductive tissue both in the leaf and the aboveground axis organs has an open, collateral, vascular fiber structure; P. macrocalyx and P. saguramica, which are closely related by macro-and micromorphological characteristics, can be separated by the anatomical structure of the mesopetiole zone of the leaf stalk and the structural elements of the wood in the central cylinder of the root.Conclusions: Common and distinguishing features of all three species were identified: The basal cells of the upper and lower epidermis of the leaves of P. woronowii, P. macrocalyx, and P. saguramica are non-stitched, curvilinear, and curved-walled; also, a chaotically arranged stomata apparatus differentiated into a simple, anomocytic type is typical for all three species, and the presence of a cystolith in the cells of the upper epidermis of P. woronowii leaf is observed.In all three species of petiole xylem, there are large, oval-shaped openings surrounded by mechanical-type cells.Small-caliber spaces in P. woronowii and P. saguramica are arranged longitudinally, while in P. macrocalyx, they are arranged asymmetrically with differentiated spherical lumens.The cross-section of the axial organs of the flower is oval or spherical in outline; the flower stem, but not the stalk, is characterized by the obliteration of medullary cells; P. saguramica collenchyma is of a mixed type, while P. woronowii and P. macrocalyx have lamellar collenchyma.Endodermal cells of P. saguramica have clearly expressed Casparian strips, but in the P. woronowii and P. macrocalyx endoderm, they are less apparent; the central cylinder of P. woronowii and P. macrocalyx is pentarcular, while P. saguramica tends to have a multi-beam xylem structure.In all species, the cells of the central tissue of the crown petals are exceptionally thin-walled, isocytic, and surrounded by dense epidermal tissue; their transitional tissue is incomplete; only the lumens of the conducting vessels of the xylem are visible. Antiplatelet Therapy for Secondary Prevention After Myocardial Infarction in Antiplatelet-Naive High Cardiovascular Risk Patients with Non-Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.The growing evidence indicates the importance of non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD), with a high-risk of MACEs.The relevance of antiplatelet therapy is high and depends on a type of MINOCA.However, the effectiveness of different antiplatelet treatment regimens and secondary prevention strategies for patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease is still unclear.OBJECTIVES In our previous cohort study, we found that secondary prevention with dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and P2Y12 receptor antagonist clopidogrel in patients with NOCAD was not significantly effective than aspirin alone in reducing 1-year MACEs.Because the development and validation cohorts of patients with NOCAD were heterogeneous in terms of cardiovascular risk, in the current study we aimed to compare the preventive effect of DAPT with aspirin alone in high cardiovascular-risk patients.METHODS Following the aim of our study, we selected 15 of 55 MINOCA patients with a high 10-year risk for ASCVD (≥20%) from the DAPT group and 19 of 60 patients with the same risk from the no-DAPT group. RESULTSThe results of our previous and present studies corroborate previously published data.DAPT had no secondary preventive effect on one-year MACE in MINOCA patients with different cardiovascular risks.CONCLUSIONS The use of DAPT in patients with MINOCA is a topic for discussion and requires further investigations with a long-term follow-up period.KEYWORDS Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk; dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT); myocardial infarction with non-0bstructive coronary artery (MINOCA) disease; non-obstructive coronary disease (NOCAD). Diagnostic Capabilities of Ultra-low-dose Computed Tomography with a Dose Equivalent to Chest X-ray Radiography Georgian Biomedical News Background: Digital chest X-ray radiography (CXR) is the imaging modality of first choice for detecting chest pathology.The average effective dose for CXR (posteroanterior and lateral projection) is 0.10 mSv (range: 0.01 to 0.26 mSv).CT examinations using ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) with doses equivalent to CXR examinations allow for detecting chest pathologies and pulmonary nodules with comparable sensitivity to previous standard or low-dose CT techniques.The ULDCT may improve the detection of pulmonary nodules and diagnose a broader range of pathologies.Objectives: This study aims to show the possibility of recognizing and defining a variety of chest pathology using ultralow-dose CT of the chest below 1mSv.Methods: For all patients, after initial CXR, chest ultra-low (ULDCT) and standard-dose CT were performed.The ultra-low dose was achieved by fixing the tube voltage, lowering the tube current, or reducing the scan length.The field size was adapted individually for each patient.In order to reduce radiation exposure, sonograms were not obtained throughout this study.Instead, a conventional laser beam was used to manually set up the start of the scan range (from the lung apex to the whole diaphragm) at the gantry.The CT scan was taken while holding a breath during inspiration with the following parameters: helical scan, 80 kV, 30 mA, 80 0.5 mm collimation, and 0.3 seconds rotation time.No iodinated contrast material was used.Results: We compare the imaging properties of low voltage (80 kV -dosages equal to CXR) CT to a standard voltage (120 kV) CT and CXR in different chest pathologies and lung nodules with diameters from 4 to 30 mm.The sensitivity of ULDCT was 100% compared to CXR.CXR was considered diagnostic in 98% and ULDCT in 100%.The mean perceived confidence for diagnosis was 88±12% with CXR and 98±2% with ULDCT.Ultra-low-dose CT offered higher sensitivity for lesions like consolidation (97%), pleural effusion (95%), fibrosis (92%), and solid pulmonary nodules (91%).Conclusions: ULDCT is a safe and effective method for evaluating lung nodules of different sizes or densities. Wetlands Restoration and Conservation Prosper Laurent Mfilinge Wetlands are probably the earth's most important freshwater resource and are also the most threatened.They perform manifold functions in the maintenance of the ecological balance of the region.Some of the important functions include water storage, protection from storms and floods, recharge of ground water, water purification, fisheries, agriculture, wildlife resource, transport, recreation, etc. India is richly endowed with wetlands evident from the high-altitude lakes of the Himalayas; floodplain wetlands of major river systems and their extensive network of tributaries draining from the Indian landmass in all directions.They are fragile ecosystems that are susceptible to damage even with only a little change in the composition of biotic and abiotic factors.They are threatened due to inadequate water holding capacity, excessive withdrawal, pollution due to raw sewage and sullage, industrial effluents, eutrophication, leached fertilizers and insecticides.Bangalore (Karnataka state) is endowed with rich wetland resources that are also facing degradation by the aforementioned threats.The degradation in the water quality affects the floral and faunal population along with the people dependent on these ecosystems.Socio -economic surveys indicate that lakes with water quality conforming to the prescribed standards have a high economic dependence (Rachenahalli -as high as Rs.10,000/day), whereas for eutrophic lakes, it may be as low as Rs.20/day (Amrutahalli).This necessitates the need for restoration and formulation of conservation strategies for sustainable management of wetlands.This paper suggests suitable strategies for the restoration of lakes with an overview on the status of wetlands and prevailing legal measures to protect them. INTRODUCTION :Wetlands, as the term implies, are 'Wet' lands that exist because the inflow of water exceeds the outflow for brief to extended periods of time during the growing season.Inland wetlands receive Investigating the need for an antimicrobial stewardship program Rasha Abdelsalam Elshenawy 01 Mar 2014 FADIC “First Arabian Drug Information Center” is an online drug information center, available in both Arabic and English language. All FADIC team members are board certified pharmacotherapy specialists (BCPS). It aims at improving the quality of medication use practice and increasing health care awareness. FADIC offers a variety of online trainings, such as online conferences, in addition to continuous improvement programs that help pharmacists stay updated with the latest advances in clinical practice. FADIC served a variety of successful programs like the “Drug information program and workshop”, the “patient Counselling and education program” and many others. Pharmacy education is continuously developing, incorporating more innovative strategies, such as active-learning techniques which help in the implementation of effective pharmacy continuous improvement programs. The online surveys such as Pre & Post Program Survey, Post Session Survey and Middle program survey are adopted to attain the achievement of The Learning Program objectives, evaluate the effectiveness of each session and the streaming of the sessions accordingly. One of the new upcoming programs provided by FADIC is the “FADIC antimicrobial stewardship program and workshop”. Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the proper use of antibiotics and other antimicrobials, in order to improve patient outcomes, reduce microbial resistance and decrease the spread of infections caused by multidrug resistant organisms. Antibiotics represent one of the greatest achievements in the medical field, changing once potentially fatal infections to easily treatable ones. Unfortunately, the irrational use of antibiotics is leading the world to an impending disaster, due to the development of resistance. The rapidly growing antibiotics resistance, prompts the need for adopting new, strict guidelines for antibiotics use. The objectives of this poster abstract are to assess the need for antimicrobial stewardship program as well as determine the qualifications of all interested healthcare professionals who need this program, in addition to determining the best active learning techniques suitable for achieving the desired outcome from online learning antimicrobial stewardship program. Interrelationship of Hepatic Veins with Separate Components of Portal Triad Georgian Biomedical News Background: The structure of the intermediate tissue between the components of the portal triad and the hepatic veins, within the zone of the portocaval connective tissue connections, depends on which of the elements of the triad is close to the hepatic vein because the connective tissue surrounding each of the elements of the triad has its characteristic specificity.Within the framework of the portocaval connective tissue connection, the interrelationship of the hepatic veins with the elements of the portal triad varies.Objectives: The goal of this study is to determine the direct connection of individual components of the portal triad with the hepatic veins.Methods: Histotopographic and histological preparations from the archival materials of the Department of Clinical Anatomy and Operative Surgery were used for the investigation.The tissue samples material was prepared from 45 livers of adults of both sexes.In addition, the documented archival samples of the preparations, which had been prepared with the macro-microscopic classical preparation method from the liver of adults whose cause of death was unrelated to liver pathology, were also used.Results: In some zones of the intersection of the portal tract and the hepatic vein, their connective tissue sheath appears to create a nodular form, in the thickness of which the hepatic veins establish a direct relationship with the components of the portal triad.The components of the portal and caval systems are united by a common connective tissue compartment.Conclusions: In the portocaval complex of the liver, the hepatic vein is connected to the components of the hepatic portal triad (portal vein, branches of proper hepatic artery, bile ducts) as the fourth element of this triad.All of them are surrounded by a perivascular fibrous capsule, which may contribute to spreading the inflammatory processes from the bile ducts to the hepatic veins. Infrared Visualization of the Prostate Cancer Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Among oncological diseases, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men.Despite the latest diagnostic achievements, there is no precise method for differentiation of clinically significant malignant alterations of the prostate from insignificant changes to avoid undertreatment or overtreatment of such patients.OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to (i) identify the dependence of prostate tissue resolution on infrared wavelength, (ii) differentiate malignant tissue from benign prostatic hyperplasia, and (iii) develop diagnostic software for processing the obtained infrared images.METHODS The postsurgical biomaterials of the prostate gland were distributed among two groups.Group 1 consisted of 78 samples of prostate cancer tissue obtained after radical prostatectomy, and group 2 consisted of 48 samples of benign prostatic hyperplasia obtained by transvesical prostatic adenomectomy.The infrared images of retained biomaterials were processed by special diagnostic computer software. RESULTSThe highest resolution of prostate tissue was obtained in the range of 840-860 nm wavelength of the infrared specter.The intensity of the infrared images ranged from 0.039550 to 0.293524 for prostatic cancer, and from 0.3245699 to 0.992317 for normal prostatic tissue.CONCLUSIONS Infrared imaging is an effective method of differentiation of prostatic cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia.KEYWORDS Benign prostatic hyperplasia; infrared imaging; prostatic cancer. Clinical Features of the Development and Treatment of Carious and Non-carious Lesions in the Cervical Area of Human Teeth Georgian Biomedical News Background: The defects in the cervical area of human teeth are challenging for clinicians because of the hardly accessible location, multietiology, and three completely different tissues.Despite multiple investigations, the ideal material that would resolve the abovementioned issue and be perfect for filling class 5 defects is still being searched for.Objectives: Our study aimed to identify carious and non-carious diseases of human teeth cervical area and evaluate restoration's clinical efficiency using adhesive systems of different generations.Methods: We examined and treated 5,892 teeth in 299 patients.In the first stage of the study, a special questionnaire was developed to provide comprehensive data for each patient.In the second stage, we restored 90 cervical defects of teeth in 43 patients.During treatment, we divided the teeth among Group A (with the need for replacement and retreatment of existing restorations) and Group B (with de novo cervical defects) and six subgroups (three in each group: A-1,2,3; and B-1,2,3).We used three types of adhesive systems: fourth-and fifth-generation adhesives in subgroups A1, A2, B1, and B2 and seventh-generation adhesives in subgroups A3 and B3.We evaluated the restoration status according to Modified USPHS criteria: A (Alpha): ideal restoration; B (Bravo): clinically acceptable restoration; C (Charlie): clinically unacceptable restoration; and (Delta): defective restoration.Results: According to the study results, carious and non-carious cervical lesions are more common with advanced age.All subgroups tended towards Criteria A, but neither group reported Criteria C or D. There were no significant differences between groups.The effectiveness of all three types of adhesives also was similar in both groups.Conclusions: A comparison of the three types of adhesives demonstrated their equal efficacy in both the group of patients requiring replacement of existing restorations and the group of de novo patients with teeth cervical area defects. Comparative safety study of the phenolic constituents of smokebush (Cotinus coggygria) leaves Georgian Biomedical News Background: The extract (CPLSB) from the smokebush (Cotinus coggygria) leaves is recommended as the endodontic irrigation solution, and its purified fraction contains mainly hydrolyzable tannins (PFTLSB).Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to define the safety margins as well as the potential irritative and allergenic effects of a polyphenol-containing extract (CPLSB) from the smokebush (Cotinus coggygria) leaves.Methods: The experiments were conducted following the OECD Guidelines for Chemical Testing, followed by probit analysis to precisely establish the median lethal doses (LD50) of CPLSB and PFTLSB.Results: The LD50 of CPLSB following intraperitoneal and oral dosing in mice was found to be 19 mg/kg and 389 mg/kg, respectively.LD50 of PFTLSB in a similar experiment was 46 mg/kg and 720 mg/kg.Both compositions revealed no signs of toxicity, and the absence of local irritative or allergic reactions was observed as well.Conclusions: PFTLSB is safer for the intended use because it appears to be almost twice as non-toxic as CPLSB, the maximum oral irrigant dose of which varies between 7 and 14 mg/kg. Comparison of Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Markers Among Patients with Non-Obstructive vs. Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) accounts for 5-20% of all cases of myocardial infarction.The growing evidence indicates the importance of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation in the heterogenous pathophysiology of MINOCA.OBJECTIVES In the present study, we aimed to evaluate oxidative and inflammatory statuses in patients with MINOCA and compare them with the same indices of patients with obstructive coronary disease non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).METHODS Overall, 165 of 1018 patients admitted to the Coronary Care Unit of Tsinamdzgvrishvili Center of Cardiology LTD (Tbilisi, Georgia) because of the first episode of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) was divided into two groups: 115 patients with MINOCA were distributed into the group 1, and 50 patients with obstructive coronary disease NSTE-ACS into the group 2. Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers were evaluated in study patients. RESULTSWe found an increase in free radical concentrations in both groups of study patients, but there was no difference in the mean amount of overall organic radicals (FORT)(p=0.412).We also found a significantly lower mean concentration of plasmatic antioxidant compounds (FORD) in patients with MINOCA (p=0.036)compared with NSTE-ACS patients, indicating a more pronounced depletion of antioxidant potential in MINOCA patients.The results of admission inflammatory markers, such as hs-CRP and hemogram-derived NLR, suggest significantly higher inflammatory status in MINOCA patients than in those with NSTE-ACS. CONCLUSIONSThe results of the present study emphasize the significance of oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of MINOCA.KEYWORDS Free Oxygen Radical Defense (FORD); Free Oxygen Radical Test (FORT); Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA); Oxidative profile; Oxidative stress; Oxidative-reductive balance (REDOX index). Autoimmunity and Clinical Markers in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: A Retrospective Cohort Study Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a skin condition that results in itchy hives or welts on the skin.The underlying cause of CSU is not fully understood, but it is believed to be mainly associated with autoimmunity.OBJECTIVES In this retrospective study, we analyzed correlations between several clinical and biological markers and their associations with disease control, response to H1-antihistamines, autoimmunity (ANA, IgG-anti-TPO), and distribution of comorbidities. METHODSThe study was conducted from September 2020 to December 2022 at the Center of Allergy and Immunology in Tbilisi, Georgia.131 adults and adolescents (≥ 12 years old) with a diagnosis of CSU were included.RESULTS Among the 131 patients included in the study, 83% (n=109) were female, and 17% (n=22) were male.The average age was 33.71 years (range 12-76).Antinuclear antibodies (ANA antibodies) were found to be positive in 17% of patients, while 33% had IgG-anti_TPO antibodies.Comparison between the controlled (n=83) and the uncontrolled disease group (n=48) shows that there is no substantial difference in age, but there are significant differences in sex (more females in the controlled group), total IgE (lower in the uncontrolled group), and the presence of ANA and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies (both higher in the uncontrolled group).The p-values for sex, total IgE, ANA, and anti-TPO are 0.003, 0.007, 0.03, and 0.028, respectively.CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that autoimmunity may play a role in the development of CSU and that treatments targeting the underlying autoimmune response may be effective in managing the condition.KEYWORDS Autoimmunity, ANA antibodies; chronic spontaneous urticaria; IgG-anti-TPO antibodies; total IgE. The Humoral Immunity Features of COVID-19 in the West Georgia Population Georgian Biomedical News Background: Background: SARS-CoV-2 is still active and spreading among us, even though the COVID-19 disease pandemic is believed to have been terminated due to the extraordinary efforts of healthcare professionals and scientists.Thousands of people are being infected today.Objectives: The current study aimed to analyze existing data on the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus among the West Georgia population and investigate the humoral immune response generated by the viral infection and vaccination as well.Methods: The research was conducted between March 2022 and March 2023.The study group included 400 adults (69% women and 31% men) residing in Kutaisi.Study patients were distributed among four groups: (i) Group 1: patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection without previous vaccination; (ii) Group 2: previously vaccinated patients without SARS-CoV-2 infection; (iii) Group 3: previously vaccinated patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection; and (iv) Group 4: uninfected and unvaccinated patients.All groups were divided into subgroups with positive and negative humoral responses.Each subgroup was further divided into subgroups based on gender.The data were analyzed by STATA 17. Statistical significance was defined as p < 0.05.Results: 55% of the study population was vaccinated, mainly with Pfizer's vaccine.The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was equal for women and men, and they developed active immunity almost equally.The average rate of humoral immunity was 60%, with the highest rate (≈85% (r<0.05,p<0.001) in the triple-vaccinated individuals.Finally, the concentration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies was particularly high (32% in the previously vaccinated patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection).The average duration of effective concentration of G-class immunoglobulins was maintained for 6-12 months.Conclusions: In most cases, the SARS-CoV-2 infection in combination with the Pfizer vaccination induces a maximal humoral immune response, although not always and not for long. Healthy Nutrition Can Impact Women's Fertility -Myth or Reality? Georgian Biomedical News Nowadays, women live in a stressful environment with numerous responsibilities and challenges, and fertility-related difficulties are one of them.Many factors influence female fertility, such as genetics, age, environment, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), lifestyle, etc.Researchers seek to find out which factors positively impact female fertility.The broad discussion around the interdependent correlation between healthy nutrition and fertility has recently unfolded.Studies give credible information on how vital nutrient density and food quality are for women's health.Consuming unsaturated fats, vegetables, fruits, fish, whole grains, legumes, and nuts positively affects female fertility.In contrast, trans fats, refined carbohydrates, animal protein, and others can negatively influence the reproductive system. Heterogeneity in INF-γ Levels Among Children with Different Types of Epilepsy Georgian Biomedical News Background: Epilepsy is the most frequent chronic neurologic disorder of childhood, with a reported higher incidence in underdeveloped countries.The pathogenesis of epilepsy involves complex mechanisms that are still not fully understood.In recent years, researchers have shown increasing interest in understanding the role of inflammation in epilepsy.One such component of the neuroinflammatory cascade is Interferon-Gamma (IFN-γ), a pro-inflammatory cytokine known for its role in immune responses.However, recent studies have revealed that IFN-γ possesses multifaceted properties, including potential neuroprotective and anticonvulsant effects.Multiple studies have reported elevated levels of IFN-γ in the serum, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tissue of patients with epilepsy.The precise mechanisms through which IFNγ contributes to epilepsy remain incompletely understood.Objectives: The present study aimed to compare IFN-γ levels in drug-resistant epilepsy patients with those with well-controlled epilepsy and healthy controls.Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study enrolled 56 children: 20 with drug-resistant epilepsy, 20 with well-controlled epilepsy, and 16 healthy controls matched in demographic characteristics.Venous blood samples were collected from all participants for cytokine (chemokines, PGE2, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) analysis.Results: IFN-γ levels were not elevated in the study groups.The results indicate a considerable heterogeneity in IFN-γ levels among different types of epilepsy.The interquartile range (IQR) of targeted IFN-γ was lower in the drug-resistant epilepsy patients compared to well-controlled epilepsy and healthy control groups.Conclusions: The role of IFN-γ in epilepsies is complex and context-dependent.The precise role of IFN-γ in epilepsy warrants exploration; further research is needed to explore the current understanding of the relationship between IFN-γ and childhood epilepsy.The findings from this study may contribute to a better understanding of the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of epilepsy and could potentially support the development of novel therapeutic approaches targeting cytokine dysregulation in epilepsy. Genetic Heterogeneity of Iduronate-2-Sulfatase in Children Diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II in Azerbaijan Georgian Biomedical News Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a rare hereditary disease of lysosomal storage with an X-linked recessive inheritance type, and Hunter's disease is a fairly rare manifestation of mucopolysaccharidosis type II.Objectives: In the present study, a modern molecular-genetic diagnostic method such as New Generation Sequencing (NGS) was used for the first time to identify iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) mutations in the Azerbaijan population.Methods: In four patients with similar clinical manifestations of Hunter's disease, we carried out enzyme and molecular genetic analysis for all MPS types: MPS I, MPS II, MPS III, MPS IV, and MPS VI.Results: All four probands observed iduronate-2-sulfatase activity deficiency that corresponded with MPS type II.Molecular genetic analysis of the IDS gene identified three different mutations: -1215del, 1106 (С-G), and 322 (G-T).In consequence of those mutations: -1215del, 1106 (С-G), and 322 (G-T) appear correspondent amino acid substitution in synthesized protein -enzyme composition: Leu406Phefs*34, Asp358Leu, Tyr108Asp, relatively.Conclusions: Taking into account the reproductive age of the parents of affected children, further preventive prenatal studies are recommended in the families of the index patients. Improvement of Targeted Therapy by E. coli Phage-lysate Vaccination: Tumor Microenvironment Modulation and Magnetic Nanoparticle Delivery Enhancement in Tumor Tissue Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.The tumor microenvironment (TME) has an essential role in cancer development.TME reduces the drug and nanoparticle delivery in tumor tissue and minimizes the treatment outcomes.The new therapeutic strategies of TME reprogramming have shown great promise.One such strategy is TME modulation by the E. coli phage-lysate (EcPHL) vaccination with TME modification and enhancement of magnetic nanoparticles (mNP) uptake by tumor tissue.OBJECTIVES In the current study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of EcPHL vaccination on TME and mNP distribution in the tumor tissue.METHODS Experiments were carried out on 20-25 g BALB/c male mice.EcPHL intraperitoneal vaccinations (0,25 ml, 3x, with 3-day intervals) were initiated after 6 days of the Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells subcutaneous inoculation and intratumoral administration of mNP (5 mg/cm3) -on the 4 th day after the last administration of EcPHL.Tumor volume was measured using a Vernier caliper.Tumor tissue samples, and the spread of mNPs in tumor tissue were estimated using microscope Leica DM6B, Motic Easy Scan Pro scanner (Ultrahigh NA APO 20X [NA 0,75], resolution 40X:0,25 mm/pixel). RESULTSThe mean tumor volume (MTV) was significantly reduced in EcPHL-vaccinated mice.The morphological investigation has shown an increased number of immunocompetent cells, basically macrophages, around the atypical cells in the tumor stroma, infiltrating the inflammatory regions and necrotic areas in the center of the tumor tissue.The inflammatory infiltrations with macrophages were prevalent in the necrotic areas.After mNP injection, the pigment was spread at a distance from the injection site as concentrated masses in extracellular regions of tumor tissue.Areas of inflammatory infiltration and concentration of iron-containing cells were significantly higher in the EcPHL-vaccinated mice compared to unvaccinated, and iron-containing macrophages were detected at a much greater distance from the injection site.CONCLUSIONS EcPHL stimulates anticancer responses, inhibits tumor growth, and enhance the distribution of mNP in tumor tissue.KEYWORDS Cancer; E. coli phage-lysate (EcPHL); magnetic/iron nanoparticles (mNP); Tumor microenvironment (TME). Magnetic multiparticulate colonic delivery systems evaluated by AC Biosusceptometry Paulo Roberto da Fonseca Filho The biomagnetic technique called Alternate Current Biosusceptometry (ACB) is a proposal to evaluate a multiparticulate drug delivery system in the human gastrointestinal tract.Results show that ACB was able to quantify the gastrointestinal transit and spreading of the magnetic material and is an attractive tool for pharmaceutical research. Right Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain and Its Role in the Prediction of Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiovascular Toxicity Georgian Biomedical News Chemotherapy-induced cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT) poses a substantial risk to cancer patients, predominantly affecting the left ventricle (LV).However, recent insights underscore the right ventricle's (RV) vulnerability to these deleterious effects.This paradigm shift has prompted a burgeoning interest in systematically evaluating the RV in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy.Notably, the RV may manifest signs of dysfunction preceding those in the LV, necessitating meticulous monitoring and early intervention.Over the past few years, studies have increasingly emphasized the importance of scrutinizing the RV in the context of cancer treatments.The early detection of RV dysfunction emerges as a critical factor in preventing progressive damage and enhancing overall cardiac function.The focus on diligent monitoring and timely intervention in the right ventricle highlights a paradigmatic shift in cardio-oncology practices.This abstract underscore the current landscape in which right ventricle dysfunction (RVD) has become a pivotal area of focus within cardio-oncology.By recognizing the susceptibility of the RV to chemotherapy-induced toxicity, clinicians can implement proactive measures to mitigate potential cardiac complications.As the understanding of these dynamics evolves, this heightened awareness promises to shape future strategies for the comprehensive care of cancer patients, emphasizing preserving both left and right ventricular function throughout treatment. Infrared Visualization of Prostate Cancer Tissues with Various Gleason Scores Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is the second most significant cause of male mortality, beneath lung cancer.Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal examination (DRE) play the most critical roles in identifying prostate cancer, and their use has risen with the incidence of prostate cancer worldwide.Cancer-specific mortality has been reduced as a result of these tests.On the other hand, the PSA and DRE led to overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and inappropriate prostate cancer testing.This situation led to modifications in prostate cancer recommendations, most notably by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) in 2012.OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the infrared transmittance of transrectal prostate biopsy tissue to see a possible difference between the total and biopsy tissue.We also saw variations based on the total of Gleason's scores.To fulfill the stated aim, in the following tasks, (i) we investigated the relationship between prostate tissue resolution and radiation wavelength in the spectrum's infrared area, and (ii) elaborated software that allowed the received images to be processed in an infrared environment and detect prostate cancer tissue with a 95% confidence interval.METHODS: 174 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cases (prostate biopsies) were included in the study.There were five groups based on Gleason score (GS 6, and GS 9 [4+5] and 10 [5+5] were combined).After the infrared exposition of each FFPE biopsy sample, our algorithm generated the image.Furthermore, the findings were matched to histomorphology reports.We employed the software's integrated statistical analysis and students' t-distribution.RESULTS: The experiment revealed that when the Gleason score sum was 6 (3+3) and 7 (3+4) or 7 (4+3), image intensities in the infrared environment were almost indistinguishable from each other with 95% confidence, which cannot be said for prostate tissue with a higher Gleason score sum (8 (4+4; 3+5); (5+3) and 9-10).However, these changes were not evident in the first three groups since the experiment was conducted on biopsy material with a tissue thickness of 1 mm.CONCLUSIONS: Infrared radiation can identify prostate cancer in prostate biopsy tissues.However, further investigations are needed to validate the modality's effectiveness for prostate cancer diagnosis. Protective Effect of Herniarin on the Ionizing Radiation-Induced Alterations of Erythrocyte Membrane Proteins Georgian Biomedical News BACKGROUND.Exposure to ionizing radiation leads to the intensification of oxidizing processes that directly or indirectly alter target molecules forming reactive oxygen species targeting cell membrane lipids and proteins.There is a need for new antioxidants to reduce the effects of ionizing radiation.OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to determine changes in the absorption spectrum of erythrocyte membrane proteins in gamma-irradiated mice and evaluate the potential protective effect of the antioxidant Herniarin.METHODS Overall, 18 2-month-old mice were distributed evenly among the control (group I) and two experimental (group II and group III) groups.The whole-body irradiation of experimental mice with 137 Cs was performed at a dose rate of 1,1 Gy/min for a total dose of 5 Gy with a "Gammacapsule-2", and animals of group 3 were treated with Herniarin (20 mg/kg) for five days before and one hour after irradiation.The erythrocyte membrane was separated using Hast Method, and absorbance spectra were measured with a spectrophotometer at 280 nm wavelength (Spectro UV-UIS BEAM 8 AUTO CELL [UVS-2800]) on 2 nd , 7 th , 14 th and 30 th post-irradiation days. RESULTSThe Herniarin-treated mice showed approximately the same results as irradiated mice on the 2 nd and 7 th post-irradiation days.Furthermore, on days 14 and 30 absorption spectrum of erythrocyte membrane proteins significantly increased (P<0.05) in the Herniarin-treated experimental group.CONCLUSIONS The ionizing irradiation induces a decrease in the intensity of the erythrocyte membrane absorption spectrum at 280 nm due to intensive tyrosine-phosphorylation of B3p under oxidative stress conditions.Impairments manifested on post-irradiation day 7, were preserved during the whole post-irradiation period.Herniarin, as a potent antioxidant, significantly amplified the absorption spectrum compared to the control group on days 14 and 30 of the post-irradiation period.KEYWORDS Erythrocyte; Herniarin; ionizing radiation. Lake and River Restoration: Method, Evaluation and Management Prosper Laurent Mfilinge 30 Mar 2020 Eutrophication has become one of the major environmental issues of global concern due to the adverse effects on water quality, public health and ecosystem sustainability.Fundamental research on the restoration of eutrophic freshwaters, i.e., lakes and rivers, is crucial to support further evidence-based practical implementations.This Special Issue successfully brings together recent research findings from scientists in this field and assembles contributions on lake and river restoration.The 12 published papers can be classified into, and contribute to, three major aspects of this topic.Firstly, a background investigation into the migration of nutrients, and the characteristics of submerged biota, will guide and assist the understanding of the mechanisms of future restoration.Secondly, various restoration strategies, including control of both external and internal nutrients loading, are studied and evaluated.Thirdly, an evaluation of the field sites after restoration treatment is reported in order to support the selection of appropriate restoration approaches.This paper focuses on the current environmental issues related to lake and river restoration and has conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in order to emphasise the fast-growing attention being paid to the research topic.The research questions and main conclusions from all papers are summarised to focus the attention toward how the presented studies aid gains in scientific knowledge, engineering experience and support for policymakers. Interrelationship of Hepatic Veins with Separate Components of Portal Triad Georgian Biomedical News Background: The structure of the intermediate tissue between the components of the portal triad and the hepatic veins, within the zone of the portocaval connective tissue connections, depends on which of the elements of the triad is close to the hepatic vein because the connective tissue surrounding each of the elements of the triad has its characteristic specificity.Within the framework of the portocaval connective tissue connection, the interrelationship of the hepatic veins with the elements of the portal triad varies.Objectives: The goal of this study is to determine the direct connection of individual components of the portal triad with the hepatic veins.Methods: Histotopographic and histological preparations from the archival materials of the Department of Clinical Anatomy and Operative Surgery were used for the investigation.The tissue samples material was prepared from 45 livers of adults of both sexes.In addition, the documented archival samples of the preparations, which had been prepared with the macro-microscopic classical preparation method from the liver of adults whose cause of death was unrelated to liver pathology, were also used.Results: In some zones of the intersection of the portal tract and the hepatic vein, their connective tissue sheath appears to create a nodular form, in the thickness of which the hepatic veins establish a direct relationship with the components of the portal triad.The components of the portal and caval systems are united by a common connective tissue compartment.Conclusions: In the portocaval complex of the liver, the hepatic vein is connected to the components of the hepatic portal triad (portal vein, branches of proper hepatic artery, bile ducts) as the fourth element of this triad.All of them are surrounded by a perivascular fibrous capsule, which may contribute to spreading the inflammatory processes from the bile ducts to the hepatic veins. The Possible Relationship Between ABO and Rhesus System Phenotypes and SARS-CoV-2 Infection Georgian Biomedical News Background: The relationship between blood Rhesus factor and SARS-CoV-2 viral infection has recently been revealed by several studies; however, the underlying mechanism is still unclear.An intriguing finding was the very low viral infection rate among blood Rhesus-negative people (notably O(I) and Rh-) and the high vulnerability in Rh-positive infected patients.Objectives: The current study aimed to find a possible relationship between Rh blood groups and susceptibility to the SARS-CoV-2 viral infection.Based on the results of the comparison of ABO and Rh blood group phenotypes in uninfected (healthy) and post-infection individuals, we were able to identify SARS-CoV-2 susceptible or resistant phenotypes.Methods: A total of 447 blood samples were examined, including 333 from SARS-CoV-2 post-infection patients and 114 from healthy controls within four months (from January 28, 2021, to April 30, 2021).Results: The distribution of phenotypic categories for Rhesus positive (Rh+) and Rhesus negative (Rh-) individuals in the control and postinfection groups has been demonstrated to be identical.There was no correlation between the Rhesus factor and susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.However, there was a significant correlation between the combination of two variables (the Rh and ABO groups) and SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility.Particularly, the frequency of the O(I) and Rh-phenotypes was approximately 1.4 times lower in the post-infection period than in controls.In contrast, patients in the post-infection period exhibit the largest prevalence of the A(II)Rh+ phenotypic combination.Conclusions: The SARS-CoV-2 infection susceptibility is low in people with the O(I)Rh-phenotype and high in individuals with the A(II)Rh+ phenotype. Detection of Tram Wheel Faults Using MEMS-Based Sensors Yohanis 24 Aug 2022 Micro-electromechanical-systems (MEMS) based sensors are used for monitoring the state of machines in condition-based maintenance tasks.This approach is applied at tram depots for the purpose of identifying faulty wheels on trams in order to eliminate defective trams at the entry or dispatch gates.The application of MEMS-based sensors for the detection of wheel faults is the focus of this study.A method for processing of the collected sensor data is developed.It is based on assessing the energy of vibrations at different frequency bands.Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (MODWPT) is used for obtaining a description of the sensor data.The task of finding the energy threshold for detecting faulty wheels, frequency band and parameters of MODWPT which most distinctly distinguish the wheels is the goal of the method.The weighted difference (DW) between the extreme values of energy in a frequency band for normal and faulty wheels is proposed as the measure of the ability to distinguish the wheels.The search for the solution is formulated as a discrete optimisation problem of maximising this measure.Both the simulation and experimental results indicate that faulty wheels have greater vibration energy than normal wheels.The properties of this approach are discussed and evaluated.
