Purpose:to assess the state of the macular region of the retina using the study of autofluorescence (AF) of theeye fundus in young subjects with high visual acuity and different types of clinical refraction.Material and methods.104 healthy volunteers (208 eyes), 70 females and 34 males, aged 20 to 30 years, average age (24,5± 0,4) годаy.о., were examined. All patients had high visual acuity (1,0 and higher) and there were no signs of pathology in the macular region, which was established ophthalmoscopically and confirmed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) data. Such methods of the examination were performed in all subjects as visometry with correction, refractometry, ophthalmobiomi-ocroscopy with Goldmann's lens, OCT in the 3D mode of the macular region of the fundus and the study of fundus-AF with typing on known patterns: normal pattern, minimal changes, focal changes and reticular pattern. The analysis was carried outin10 subgroups depending on the type, the degree of clinical refraction and the presence of astigmatism.Results.4 main patterns of AF were identified in the examined subjects: normal, minimal changes, focal changes and reticular. The most common pattern in all refractive groups was the reticular pattern, the frequency of which ranged from 41,7 to 88,9%. The least common pattern was normal, the frequency of which ranged from 4,2 to 33,3%. A significant differencebetween the values of the thickness of the retina in the foveal zone with the reticular pattern and its average group value in different refractive groups was not found.Conclusion.In young subjects with high visual acuity without clinical manifestation of pathology of the macular zone, AF-patterns other than the normal picture may be present. The reticular pattern is noted as the most common in all analyzed groups with various types of refraction. Further studies of early changes in fundus AF may make it possible to determine thepredictors of the development of dystrophic pathology of the macular zone.

PSIX-1 Canadian Vytelle technology for determining residual feed intake in raising Qazaq Aqbas bull calves

Abstract Selection for residual feed intake (RFI) allows you to reduce feed costs and increase productivity of beef cattle. An increase in feed productivity by 10% can lead to an increase in profits by 43%, raising livestock with a low RFI can reduce feed intake by 12%, reduce methane emissions by 30%, and manure reduction by 17%. To obtain reliable trial results when determining the RFI, it is necessary to ensure the following conditions: 1) the same age of animals 2) the exchange of pedigree data between users of the system, which makes it possible to compare the EPDs within Vytelle Systems. Objects of research:QazaqAqbas bull calves (n = 46) at the age of 10–12 months in ZhanaBerekeLLP in Akmola region of Kazakhstan. Trial results confirm that residual feed intake in group 1 varied from -0.81 to 1.11, in group 2 - from -0.80 to 1.09. The RFI Rank was higher in group 1 (12.5). RADG in group 1 was at the level of -0.57 ... 0.58, in group 2 - -0.58 ... 1.13. According to the numerical rating of the animal (RADG Rank), the average value in group 1 was 12.5, in group 2 - 11.5. The average live weight at the beginning (START WT.) and end (END WT.) in the first group was 254.16 and 287.62 kg, in the second group 239.99 and 273.09 kg.

МЕТОДИКА ВИБОРУ ПОСЛІДОВНОСТІ ВИКОНАННЯ ЗАМОВЛЕНЬ НА МІЖМІСЬКІ ВАНТАЖНІ АВТОМОБІЛЬНІ ПЕРЕВЕЗЕННЯ

The article is devoted to the problem of selection and distribution of known orders for long-distance transportation of goods by small transport companies. The ordering of the incoming flow of orders for transportation of cargoes taking into account time restrictions on their performance is considered. The incoming order flows of such enterprises are stochastic and different in the structure of transport cycles. The random nature of orders leads to the fact that their execution requires additional unproductive costs of the carrier's resources. It is taken into account that orders for transportation are unequally correlated. The article assumes that the compatibility of two orders, which are performed in a common route by one vehicle, characterizes the additional time spent on mileage and downtime. The pairwise coefficient of order compatibility is the ratio of the "net" time for order fulfillment to the time required for preparatory additional operations and trips in connection with the previous execution of another order. The set of orders can also be characterized by the average group value of the compatibility factor. The theoretical research model is based on the principle that from any set of known and ready to execute orders, you can choose a subset for which the average group compatibility factor is maximum. This means that the selected subset can be performed with greater efficiency by a given fleet of vehicles without the involvement of funds for cooperation. Therefore, the task of operational planning of the park in terms of stochastic input flow can be simplified to linear integer programming. A new version of the problem has been formulated, which allows to find a guaranteed exact solution for a suitable operating time of calculation. The approbation of the theoretical model at search of optimum plans of transportation of cargoes at the small motor transport enterprise is executed. The influence of the average group compatibility coefficient on the total profit of the enterprise from transportations in the form of the regression equation is established. The theoretical model agrees well with the empirical data according to Fisher's criterion. An algorithm for using the initial analysis of the incoming flow of orders to increase the profitability of the transport company is proposed.

Comportement du couple céramique-céramique en condition d’usure extrême: Étude sur un simulateur de hanche

BackgroundHip revision surgery for fractured ceramic components may represent the worst-case wear scenario due to the high risks of recurrent dislocations, instability, and third body wear. The ideal bearing choice for the new prosthetic articulation is still subject of debate, while alumina matrix composite (AMC) articulations offer theoretical superior performances, the present work was designed to test the wear behavior of ceramic on ceramic articulations (liner and head) in a worst-case scenario by adding ceramic third-body particles to the test lubricant with combined walking and subluxation cycles in a hip joint simulator. Therefore, we performed an in vitro study aiming to assess how does AMC articulation perform with 1) third-body particles added to the test environment and 2) under subluxation stresses. HypothesisWe hypothesized that AMC articulations offer superior performances in such worst conditions. Materials and methodsA hip simulator test was designed to analyze how AMC articulation performs with third-body particles added to the test environment and under subluxation stresses. Two different load patterns including level walking and subluxation of the ceramic liner were applied. The test fluid lubricant was contaminated by adding coarse ceramic particles during the first 2 million cycles and fine ceramic particles from 2 to 4 million cycles. Group 1 consisted of an alumina matrix composite articulation (liner and head); Group 2 consisted of an alumina liner and an alumina matrix composite head. A control group consisting of an alumina ceramic liner articulated against an alumina matrix composite head was provided and only axially loaded. The liners of Groups 1 and 2 were tested at an in vivo angle of 45° in the medial lateral plane (inclinationangle), which corresponds to an angle L=30° relative to the ISO standard fixated position used for in vitro testing. All mass measurements were performed using a high precision balance (Sartorius BP211D). During each examination, images on dedicated location of the bearing surfaces were taken using a digital microscope. ResultsMean cumulative wear of 0.09mg per million cycles between 2 and 4 million cycles was detected in group 2, and this value was significantly lower (p=0.016) in comparison with the average value in group 1 (0.21mg per million cycle). This result can be explained in light of a possible transformation phase of zirconia in AMC liners, probably due to excessive stress during subluxation cycles. However, wear levels observed are close to the gravimetric measurement detection limit of the Sartorious Balance (about 0.1–0.2mg), therefore wear can be considered negligible in all groups. ConclusionOur results confirm that AMC couplings perform very well even in the worst-case wear scenario. Since AMC articulations revealed 25% lower cumulative wear respect to AMC on cross linked polyethylene in same simulator setup, AMC articulations should be considered the bearing of choice in revision surgery in light of the high risk of recurrent dislocations, instability, and third body wear. Level of evidenceIII, prospective case-control study, in vitro.

All things considered, the gender roles division from 100 students have explained that 70% of them have androgyny gender roles, while other 30% have masculinity, femininity and or undifferentiated. Finally, the students of Sanata Dharma University aged of 18 to 22 years old mostly have gender roles of androgyny

Antihypertensive Effect Of Amlodipine In Co-Administration With Omeprazole In Patients With Hypertension And Acid-Related Disorders: Cytochrome P450-Associated Aspects.

BackgroundCYP2C19 and CYP3A are the main enzymes involved in omeprazole metabolism, while CYP3A is the principal enzyme family for amlodipine biotransformation. Concomitant use of these drugs in patients with hypertension and acid-related disorders (ARD) might lead to drug–drug interaction.PurposeThe aim of the study was to find if adding omeprazole for treating ARD to amlodipine long-term therapy of hypertension influenced blood pressure of CYP2C19 polymorphism carriers.Patients and methodsFifty-one patients diagnosed with hypertension and ARD were enrolled in the study. Evaluation of antihypertensive therapy was performed by office (OBPM) and ambulatory (ABPM) blood pressure monitoring. Peripheral venous blood was collected for DNA extraction and real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed for CYP2C19*2G681A (rs4244285), CYP2C19*3G636A (rs4986893) and CYP2C19*17C−806T (rs12248560) polymorphisms analysis.ResultsOf 51 patients there were 21 extensive metabolizers (EMs), 18 ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs) and 12 intermediate metabolizers (IMs). The results of OBPM showed that antihypertensive effect was significantly more pronounced in IMs compared to EMs or UMs and the average group value in the following parameters: average office systolic blood pressure (BP), dynamics of the average office systolic BP. According to dynamics of diastolic BP, the antihypertensive effect was also significantly higher in IMs than in UMs and the average group value. The results of ABPM revealed that there was a significantly more pronounced antihypertensive effect in IMs compared to all other analyzed groups according to the dynamics of both daytime systolic and 24 hr diastolic BP. The average daytime diastolic BP and its dynamics, the average 24 hr systolic BP and its dynamics were higher in IMs compared to EMs and UMs.ConclusionAdding omeprazole to long-term amlodipine therapy in patients with hypertension and ARD may lead to a significantly more pronounced antihypertensive effect in patients genotyped CYP2C19 IMs.

Efficacy of topical microemulsion of fatty acids of the ω-3 series on the sub-epithelial corneal nerves regeneration after epithelium-off corneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconus.

To evaluate efficacy of a microemulsion of fatty acids of the ω-3 series on the regeneration of the sub-epithelial corneal nerve plexus in patients with keratoconus after epi-off cross-linking. In this prospective study, we recruited 40 patients, 18 females, mean age 28years (range 22-37), who were randomly divided in two groups. Group A, 20 patients, after cross-linking were treated with a microemulsion of fatty acids of the ω-3 series. Group B were treated with hyaluronic acid (0.15%)-based tear substitute. Nerve tortuosity, reflectivity and density were examined with in vivo confocal microscopy. Ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire at the preoperative and at each follow-up visit (1, 3 and 6months) after treatment was completed. No significant difference between the two groups was noted at 1month in terms of nerve density and OSDI. A statistically significant difference between the two groups was detected at 3months in terms of nerve fibers density (6 ± 0.82 in Group A and 1 ± 0.51 in Group B, P = 0.0001). Reflectivity and tortuosity of the fibers did not show significant differences between the two groups at any time point. At 1month, OSDI average value in group A and in group B was 31.5 ± 1.94 and 30 ± 1.96, at 3months 13 ± 1.71 and 28 ± 1.83, and at 6months 10.5 ± 1.87 and 9.0 ± 1.81, respectively. The use of a microemulsion of fatty acids appears to ensure a faster regeneration of nerve fibers in patients undergoing epi-off cross-linking.

Conclusion: The administration of co-chemotherapy ethyl acetate fraction of longjack roots (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) and doxorubicin is effective in lowering aromatase expression, however not effective in reducing IL-6 expression compared to single regiment doxorubicin in DMBA-induced rat models.

Assessment of ecological plasticity and stability of sunflower hybrids (Helianthus annuus L.) in Ukrainian Steppe

Modern hybrids of sunflower show a pronounced response to changes in agrometeorological conditions of their growing. The<br />research was carried out during 2013-2015 under conditions of insufficient moisture in the Southern steppe of Ukraine. Field<br />and mathematical-statistical methods were used. A comparative assessment of levels of ecological stability was made for 7<br />sunflower hybrids (the company “Pioneer”). The application of plasticity and stability analysis by the Eberhard-Russell method<br />allows carrying out an integrated assessment of new hybrids in terms of their adaptability to growing conditions and a reaction<br />norm of genotypes to cultivation technology. In the dry steppe zone the sunflower realizes 45% of its genetic yield potential.<br />The highest yield of the studied hybrids was observed in 2013 when, despite the unfavourable hydrothermal index of the year,<br />the minimum relative air humidity during the flowering period was optimal (61.8%). A certain number of genotypes are<br />characterized by the average group value of the plasticity index of yield (i.e. close to 1), namely: PR64LE19, PR64LE71, PR64LE11, PR64A71. Stability ranges from 0.29 in the hybrid PR64LE11 to 32.51 in the hybrid PR64LE19. The hybrids PR64LE71 and PR64LE19 change their ecological plasticity under varying growing conditions. The hybrid PR64F66 is less responsive to varying environments than the whole set of hybrids on average but, compared to others, exhibits average stability. The best results were shown by the hybrids PR64F50 and PR64A89, since they are more sensitive to varying environments and more stable than other hybrids. Growing hybrids of different levels of intensity, genetically and biologically diverse, allows the effective exploitation of agroecological potential of different zones.

The impact of medial cuneiform bone variant measures on the severity of hallux valgus: A radiological study.

The aetiology of hallux valgus (HV) is multifactorial in nature. The first metatarsocuneiform joint obliquity is a well-known factor in the development of the deformity. The purpose of this study is to assess the correlation of different medial cuneiform radiological measures on the severity of HV. Full weight-bearing anteroposterior views of 152 feet with different clinical severity are divided into four groups: without deformity and with mild, moderate and severe deformities. Three medial cuneiform angles were assessed, namely, the first metatarsocuneiform angle (MCA), the first metatarsocuneiform slope angle (MCSA) and the medial cuneiform lateral tilt angle (MCLTA). The first MCA average values of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were (25.16 ± 5.74°, 27.38 ± 6.14°, 30.27 ± 5.62° and 34.28 ± 6.81°), respectively. Statistical differences were detected between groups (1, 3) and (1, 4) with p values of 0.034 and 0.001, respectively. The average values of the first MCSA of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 19.26 ± 4.97°, 22.54 ± 5.62°, 26.13 ± 6.36° and 32.17 ± 5.85°, respectively. Significant differences were detected between groups (1, 3) and (1, 4) with p values of 0.04 and 0.023, respectively. Average values of the MCLTA of groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 80.85 ± 4.49°, 74.56 ± 5.28°, 62.38 ± 6.34° and 58.78 ± 6.25°, respectively. Statistical significances were detected between groups (1, 2), (1, 3) and (1, 4) with p values of 0.026, 0.018 and 0.001, respectively. Increasing the medial cuneiform lateral tilt increases the first metatarsocuneiform articulation obliquity demonstrated by the increase in the first MCSA which in term enhances the progression of varus deformity of the first metatarsal bone explained by the increase in the first MCA.

The prognostic value of carcinoembryonic antigen levels in blood and intraoperative pleural lavage fluid in non-small-cell lung cancer.

IntroductionThere is no specific marker for lung cancer, but, in some lung cancer types, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) can reach high levels in the blood and pleural fluid.AimThis study investigated the relationship of CEA levels in blood (CEAB) and intraoperative pleural lavage fluid (CEAP) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the type, stage, and extent of lung cancer.Material and methodsA total of 50 patients, who underwent surgery at our clinic due to NSCLC (group I) or benign lung pathology (group II), were assessed. For this prospectively designed study, 25 consecutive patients were included in each group, and their CEAB and CEAP levels were investigated.ResultsWhen the levels of CEAP were compared, the average value of group I (1.35 ng/ml) was significantly higher than the average value of group II (0.04 ng/ml) (p = 0.027). When CEA levels were examined separately, and average values were taken according to surgical pathology results, both CEAB and CEAP levels of adenocarcinoma patients were found to be higher than those of the other groups. This difference was only significant for the level of CEAP (p = 0.026).ConclusionsAlthough the average CEAB levels of patients with adenocarcinoma were higher than those of patients with other histopathological types, this difference was not statistically significant. However, we found that CEAP levels were significantly higher in patients with adenocarcinoma. These results have led us to consider that CEAP elevation is a more sensitive marker than the elevation of CEAB.

Strategy for Improving Efficiency of Supply Chain Quality Management in Buyer-Supplier Dyads: The Suppliers’ Perspective

This study analyzes the efficiency of supply chain quality management (SCQM) by grouping buyers and suppliers and conducting an empirical analysis of aspects affecting SCQM efficiency from the supplier’s perspective. Two stages of data analysis were conducted: (1) classify buyer and supplier efficiency by means of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and sort the data results into a2×2matrix and (2) conduct a statistical analysis to verify influential aspects. The results depict the average value of Group I to be higher than that of Group II, while the average value of Group IV was found to be much lower than that of Group III. In addition, specific aspects have a significant impact on certain groups: Groups I and II are affected by infrastructure, delivery of quality, talent development, and risk management in that order; Groups II and III are likewise influenced by risk management, talent development, and delivery of quality, whereas Groups III and IV are influenced by talent development, delivery of quality, and risk management in that order.

Relative Hypermetabolism of Vermis Cerebelli in Traumatic Brain Injured Patients Studied with 18FDG PET: A Descriptor of Brain Damage and a Possible Predictor of Outcome

The almost constant presence of apparent metabolic hypermetabolism of cerebellar vermis seen on 18FDG PET in a population of injured brains has been reported in a previous paper. Aim of this paper is to determine a) whether there is a correlation between the entity of this sign, semi quantitatively determined, and the severity of the trauma at its onset, and b) whether the entity of the relative enhancement correlates with the medium and long term clinical outcome. A group of 45 consecutive patients admitted to the Acquired Brain Injury Unit of our Hospital for recent, major head trauma, underwent a basal 18FDG PET/CT scan of the brain; the presence of relative hypermetabolism of the vermis cerebelli was visually assessed and semi quantitatively determined (vermis/cerebellum ratio: V/C); the median V/C value was used as a divide between low V/C ratios (group A) and high V/C ratios (group B). During one year after trauma, every patient from both groups received an extensive testing to evaluate cognitive and behavioral performances and evolution: Disability Rating Scale (DRS) and Levels of Cognitive Function (LCF) were administered monthly from month 1 to month 6, and at 12 months from the trauma; Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was administered at 3, 6 and 12 months from the head trauma. Numerical scores from each of these performance-testing protocols were cross-matched with values derived from the V/C 18FDG PET/CT determinations. A relative risk estimate via Chi-square testing was performed on the results of both groups for LCF and DRS scales at 1, 6 and 12 months from trauma. At one month after trauma, overall LCF (LCF1) values ranged from 2 to 8, avg. 3.77, SD ± 2.10; the average value in group A was 5.21, SD ± 2.09, in B group 2.47, SD ± 0.98 (F=17.5, P = 0). At this time, overall average DRS (DRS1) was 6.7, SD ± 2.05, ranging from 2 to 9; the average value was 5.52, SD ± 0.47 in group A, and 7.72, SD ± 0.30 in group B (F = 6.3, P = 0.01). Relative risk estimates for patients with higher V/C ratios for poor performance in DRS scale were: 2.46 at 1 month (confidence boundaries 1.66 - 3.64), 3.75 (c.b. 1.64 - 8.64) at 6 months, 5.17 (c.b. 1.76 - 15.16) at one year. Relative risk estimates for LCF scale were: 3.20 (c.b. 1.74 - 5.90) at 1 month, 6.909 (c.b. 1.03 - 46.15) at 6 months, 4.22 (c.b. 0.65 - 27.10) at 12 months. A) there is a strong correlation between the semi quantitatively determined values of vermian relative hypermetabolism and the severity of trauma as determined by standard cognitive and performance testings; the V/C ratio may therefore be considered a reliable, although non-specific, index of brain suffering. B) there is a good statistical correlation between the semi quantitative vermian/cerebellar ratio determined shortly after the trauma, and the clinical outcome of the patients, evaluated by standard clinical performance tests and relative risk estimates.
