Intelligent real-time prediction for shield machine position on the basis of BWO-LSTM-GRU

Due to the complexity and variability of shield machine working environment, it is very important to accurately control and regulate the position trajectory of shield machine. For that reason, an intelligent real-time prediction model of shield machine position based on BWO-LSTM-GRU (Beluga whale optimization-Long Short-term Memory-Gated recurrent unit) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the real-time data of shield machine are processed based on Pearson correlation analysis, and the tunneling parameters presenting medium-strong correlation with the position parameters are filtered to obtain, which were used to be input variables for prediction models. Secondly, LSTM-GRU position prediction model was established separately for shield machine position parameters, and four hyperparameters of the model were optimized separately using BWO. Finally, BWO-LSTM-GRU position prediction models are used to realize the intelligent real-time prediction of the motion trajectories at four positions for shield machine. The simulation results indicate that the prediction deviation in the position prediction model is within 3 mm, and it can accurately complete the task of real-time prediction, providing real-time data support for shield machine drivers.

Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MToP) in the 1st trimester - the role of human chorionic gonadotropin and ultrasound in pregnancy diagnosis and MToP follow-up.

In the Czech Republic, it is possible, to carry out Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MToP) in the 1st trimester up until the 49th day of secondary amenorrhea. The aim of the study is to analyse the significance of serum/urine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) assessment and ultrasound (US) examination in pregnancy diagnosis and MToP follow-up. In 2017-2018, MToP was carried out in a total of 109 women by administering a combination of mifepristone (600 mg orally) and misoprostol (400 mcg orally). Serum/urine (LSUP - low sensitivity urine pregnancy test) hCG assessment and US examination were performed at pregnancy diagnosis and MToP follow-up. At pregnancy diagnosis, there was a positive and medium strong correlation between serum hCG and size of the gestational sac - GS (R = 0.711; P 1,000 IU/L and LSUP test was always positive). In 5.5% of women (6/109), a subsequent surgical intervention was carried out including those with ongoing pregnancy (N = 5); missed abortion (N = 1) was treated by additional misoprostol, where surgical intervention was not necessary. At pregnancy diagnosis, there is a positive and medium strong correlation between serum hCG and CRL. In MToP follow-up, a negative LSUP test enables reliable exclusion of ongoing pregnancy and missed abortion. In case of a positive LSUP test, US examination should be performed; however, surgical intervention should not be indicated solely on the basis of uterine cavity dilatation.

THE EFFECT OF PERCEIVED STRESS OF HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS ON SERVANT LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS IN THE COVID-19 PERIOD: NMRT EXAMPLE

Aim: The research aims to determine the effect of servant leadership behaviors on the perceived stress levels of healthcare professionals during the COVID 19 pandemic.
 Method: The population of the study is 1107 health employees (NMRT - National Medical Rescue Team) in Ankara region. The sample consists of 215 people. Pearson correlation analysis was applied in the study. Simple linear regression test was implemented for the relation level of the sub-dimensions. In the correlation analysis, a medium strong positive correlation was determined between the dependent and independent variables. 
 Results: In regression analysis for perceived stress sub-dimensions and servant leadership sub-dimensions, strengthening, courage, trust, and realism dimensions (b = 0.27, p 0.05). 
 Conclusion: It can be stated that there is a moderate positive correlation between the dimensions of strengthening, courage, trust, and realism. The model established for the correlation between the stress / discomfort perception dimension and the inadequate self-efficacy perception dimension, and the servant leadership dimensions was determined as significant. When health workers (NMRT) exhibit servant leadership behaviors, their stress perception levels decrease.

Establishment of a Pseudovirus Platform for Neuraminidase Inhibiting Antibody Analysis.

Neuraminidase (NA)-based immunity to influenza can be useful for protecting against novel antigenic variants. To develop safe and effective tools to assess NA-based immunity, we generated a baculovirus-based pseudotyped virus, N1-Bac, that expresses the full-length NA of the influenza A/California/07/2009 (H1N1)pdm09 strain. We evaluated the level of NA-inhibiting (NI) antibodies in the paired blood sera of influenza patients by means of an enzyme-linked lectin assay (ELLA) using the influenza virus or N1-Bac. Additionally, we evaluated the level of NA antibodies by means of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with an N1-expressing Sf21 culture. We detected a strong correlation between our results from using the influenza virus and NA-Bac pseudoviruses to detect NI antibodies and a medium-strong correlation between NI antibodies and NA antibodies determined by an N1-cell ELISA, indicating that baculovirus-based platforms can be successfully used to evaluate NI or NA antibodies. Furthermore, animal experiments showed that immunization with N1-Bac protected against infection with a drift variant of the A/H1N1pdm09 influenza virus. Our results demonstrate that recombinant baculovirus can be an effective influenza pseudotype to evaluate influenza serologic immunity and protect against influenza virus infection.

Retinal oxygen saturation in monoclonal gammopathies patients: Apilot study.

The aim of this pilot study was to assess oxygen saturation in retinal blood vessels in patients with monoclonal gammopathies (MGs). Thirty-one patients with MGs (11 women and 20 men, mean age 65.9± 8.9 years) were enrolled during 2016-2020. The patients were diagnosed at the Haemato-Oncology Department and subsequently examined at the Ophthalmology Department before initiating systemic therapy. All patients were subjected to automatic retinal oximetry (Oxymap ehf.) and had their fundus photographed (Topcon TRC-50DX retinal camera). We assessed the association between retinal oxygen saturation (SatO2 ) - arterial SatO2 , venous SatO2 and arterio-venous (AV) difference-and MGs parameters: serum monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein) level and serum immunoglobulin-free light chains (FLC kappa and lambda), total protein, serum viscosity, haemoglobin, albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, creatinine and serum calcium level. Hyperviscosity-related retinopathy was also evaluated. Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.462; p=0.009) between the AV difference and the haemoglobin level. A significant, medium strong negative correlation was found between the AV difference and the serum levels of the monoclonal light lambda chains (r=-0.450; p=0.011). Contrary to expectations, no statistically significant correlation was found between retinal oxygen saturation and the total protein or viscosity. This study found correlation between retinal oxygen saturation and certain parameters in the blood of patients with MGs. Increasing levels of monoclonal immunoglobulin seem to reduce oxygen absorption in retinal arterioles, resulting in a lower AV difference, particularly in patients with a high free light chain level.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL NETWORKS IN PROMOTING POSITIVE BEHAVIOUR DURING COVID-19 CRISIS AMONGST A SAMPLE OF USERS IN SAUDI SOCIETY: TWITTER AS A MODEL

This study seeks analysing Twitter social network role in promoting positive behaviour during COVID-19 crisis and exploring the relationship between them. It targets identifying Twitter positive behaviour level differences through variables of gender, age, marital status, residence status, administrative region, and Twitter using size. An online questionnaire was used on a validity-and-stability verified sample of (586) individual Twitter users in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Sample members approved Twitter users’ positive behaviour during COVID-19 crisis. They agreed that the positive behaviour level was medium with a Twitter effect of (19.4%). There were both a positive, medium-strong correlation between Twitter daily use and a statistically significant correlation between one - session Twitter using and positive behaviour promotion. However, there were statistically significant differences in positive behaviour promotion when using Twitter between social status favouring singles, residence status favouring residents, age favouring those under 21, administrative region favouring the southern region, usage period favouring network daily and two days - users, and browsing time favouring much Twitter users .The study recommends conducting studies on positive social behaviour and its dimensions to broadly generalise results. Studies on the Internet of behaviour and artificial intelligence are needed to analyse the positive behaviour expected by social networks users to enhance opportunities. It also stressed children and adolescents’ digital social education to prepare community members for effective online participation, the activation of public and private services-providing agencies Twitter accounts, interacting positively with users' questions and responses, and substituting fixed stereotypes by interesting interactive patterns.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF VALUE ADDED INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL AT SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES

Today, rapid and unpredictable changes in the economy, globalization, the technical revolution, competition intensification, the reviving of the service industry required rethinking the concept of corporate competitiveness. An important determinant of corporate successfulness consists in that knowledge and adequate information which positively contribute to the corporate value creation. Those intangible capital elements that play a crucial role in sustainable corporate value creation are intellectual capital. The knowledge, skills and competencies of managers and employees customer relations, the company’s organizational structure are the main components of intellectual capital. Today, the software and the knowledge-based economies support the fact that the importance of intellectual capital has been growing in all sectors of the economy. The main aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital and corporate performance. To these, we carried out a comparative analysis of value added by intellectual capital for companies acting in different sectors from two neighbouring counties from Romania (Bihor) and Hungary (Hajdú-Bihar). The analysis is based on the financial statements for five years (2014-2018) of companies operating in agriculture, construction, manufacturing, wholesale trading, retail trade and transportation. We used the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) from Scorecard Methods as a measurement of intellectual capital. The investigation of the relationship between firms’ performance and intellectual capital was performed using panel regression, where the established dependent variables were Operating Return on Assets (OROA), Operating Return on Sales (OROS) and the explanatory VAIC components: HCE, SCE, CCE. In the case of Romanian companies, a medium-strong correlation can be observed between OROA and VAIC components. In the case of Hungarian firms also a medium-strong correlation can be observed between OROS and VAIC components.

Stressful Factors in the Working Environment, Lack of Adequate Sleep, and Musculoskeletal Pain among Nursing Unit Managers.

Background: Middle managers have not received enough attention within the healthcare field, and little is known how stressful factors in their work environment coupled with a lack of adequate sleep are related to musculoskeletal pain. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between stressful factors in the work environment, lack of adequate sleep, and pain/discomfort in three body areas. Methods: Questionnaire was sent electronically to all female nursing unit managers (NUM) in Iceland through the outcome-survey system. The response rate was 80.9%. Results: NUM who had high pain/discomfort in the neck area also had very high pain/discomfort in the shoulder area and pain in the lower back. The results also revealed positive a medium-strong correlation between mental and physical exhaustion at the end of the workday and musculoskeletal pain. Stress in daily work, mental strain at work, and being under time-pressures had hardly any correlation with pain/discomfort in the three body parts. Adequate sleep had a significant negative correlation with all stressful factors in the work environment and all three body parts under review. Conclusion: The results will hopefully lead to a better consideration of stressful factors in the work environment, sleep, and musculoskeletal pain in middle managers.

Ventriculoperitoneal shunt in treating of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus-single-center study.

Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is the only variant of dementia disorders possibly treatable by neurosurgical intervention. iNPH is a neurodegenerative condition clinically characterized by gait ataxia, urinary incontinence, and memory disturbance. We present one of the largest single-center studies, which was designed to prove efficacy of our low-pressure setting of gravitational valve at all three symptoms of iNPH and to find statistically significant cut-off time for best clinical improvement according to the duration of symptoms. Sixty-one consecutive patients (mean age 74.9 ± 5.3) with iNPH were prospectively observed from the time of surgery with minimal 6 months follow-up. All patients underwent implantation of the same type of gravitational valve with the same setting-pro GAV with low opening pressure at 5 cm H2O-and were operated by the same team of 2 neurosurgeons. We statistically evaluated gait disturbance, psychological changes, and incontinence preoperatively and at 6 months after surgery and timing of the surgery according to the duration of symptoms and to the age. Paired t test showed a statistically significant increase in MMSE, a statistically significant decrease in 10-m walk test and 360 deg. rotation test (p < 0.0001). The correlation among the change of the MMSE, the walk test, and the rotation test, and the age and time of symptoms' duration was verified by Pearson's correlation coefficient. Pearson's correlation coefficient showed a medium strong correlation between the change of MMSE and the time of symptoms (r = - 0.580; p < 0.0001) and between the change of the number of steps and the time of symptoms (r = 0.517, p < 0.0001). There was a statistically significant weak (poor) correlation between the change of the walk test and the time of symptoms (r = 0.351, p = 0.006). All 3 ROC tests confirmed optimal cut-off for the best improvement of symptoms as 9.5 months of the symptom duration. We proved statistical significant optimal cut-off for the best improvement of the symptoms as 9.5 months of the symptom duration. This study also confirmed successful treatment of iNPH with VP shunting using low pressure setting of gravitational valve with overall improvement in 75% and low over drainage complications in 5% We proved statistically significant increase in MMSE, decrease in 10 m walk test and number of steps test, p < 0.0001.

The determinants of the competitiveness of Lithuanian export: macroeconomic approach

The development of an appropriate export promotion strategy in any country calls for consideration of such country-level determinants as macroeconomic indicators and cultural elements. Small economies, like Lithuania, must have a clear understanding of which macroeconomic factors most significantly contribute to the competitiveness of their exports. This article is aimed at assessment of the competitiveness of Lithuanian export in the macroeconomic context.&#x0D; The main purpose of the research is to assess the determinants of the competitiveness of Lithuanian export in the macroeconomic context. For accomplishment of the defined purpose, the following objectives were raised: 1) to review the general determinants of export competitiveness; 2) to develop the methodology for assessment of the country’s export competitiveness in the macroeconomic context; 3) to empirically assess the impact of macroeconomic determinants on the competitiveness of Lithuanian export over the period 2007–2015. The research methods include comparative and systematic literature analysis, correlation and regression analysis.&#x0D; It has been found that GDP (gross domestic product) per capita and general state’s revenue from taxes and social contributions explain the trends of Lithuanian export by 99.1 percent. A very strong correlation has been estimated between Lithuanian export and terms of financing for exporting enterprises, a negative medium-strong correlation has been estimated between the country’s export and its general tax level, while a positive medium-strong correlation has been captured between the country’s export and its minimum wages.&#x0D; Novelty. The results lead to the conclusion that the competitiveness of Lithuanian export is mainly affected by the state’s tax policy, terms of financing for exporting enterprises and social wage strategies. By improving the above-mentioned areas, the country could occupy stronger competitive positions in international markets.

The Blueshift of the C iv Broad Emission Line in QSOs

Abstract For the sample from Ge et al. of 87 low-z Palomar–Green quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and 130 high-z QSOs (0 &lt; z &lt; 5) with -based single-epoch supermassive black hole masses, we perform a uniform decomposition of the C iv λ1549 broad-line profile. Based on the rest frame defined by the [O iii] λ5007 narrow emission line, a medium-strong positive correlation is found between the C iv blueshift and the luminosity at 5100 Å or the Eddington ratio . A medium-strong negative relationship is found between the C iv blueshift and C iv equivalent width. These results support the postulation where the radiation pressure may be the driver of C iv blueshift. There is a medium-strong correlation between the mass ratio of C iv-based to -based and the C iv blueshift, which indicates that the bias for C iv-based is affected by the C iv profile.

The influence of wealth on philanthropy: A cross-regional study

Abstract Even in situations when welfare state budgets can be considered generous, many socially responsible, beneficial activities remain that cannot survive without the financial support of private individual or corporate donors. The article seeks an answer to questions of to what extent the willingness to donate one’s own money depends on wealth and income, and what the role of other socio-cultural factors is. The data about the amount of private and corporate donations in particular regions of the Czech Republic in the period of the years 2011–2015 is compared with data about the regional economic prosperity and income. The regression analysis results show that it was only possible to explain to certain level the amount of donations by the rate of the wealth of firms and individuals in particular regions. In case of the companies, it is a medium-strong correlation, while the correlation is strong in terms of individuals. Particularly in terms of the corporate donation, the willingness to donate is significantly related also with other, non-economic factors in the region.

Germination and Relations between Seed Quality Characteristics for Acer pseudoplatanus and Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Atropurpureum’

Summary The purpose of this paper is to analyze relations between seed quality characteristics and the influence of contaminated urban areas on seed quality of sycamore maple trees in different locations across Novi Sad (Serbia). This research analyzed seed germination of 29 adult trees of sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) and its red leaf variety (Acer pseudoplatanus ‘atropurpureum’ Späth.). Our results indicate a medium strong positive correlation between seed weight and viable seed. Sycamore maple trees from the same urban typology do not have significant influence on seed quality characteristics, while different urban typology has such influence. These results explain the negative influence of urban areas on seed quality characteristics. For selection of high value trees in urbanized and contaminated areas, seed quality can be the indicator of adaptability to stress related conditions.

Vliv vybraných proměnných na environmentální gramotnost žáků 2. stupně základní školy

The contribution is devoted to investigating the impact of sociodemographic variables of the area on the cognitive and affective aspect of environmental literacy among 12-15 years old students in Žatec, Square 28 October 1019, district of Louny. The author tested two research instruments: MSELS and two-dimensional scales of 2-MEV on the research sample consisting from 87 respondents from 6 to 9th grades of these school. The study presents the results regarding the influence of gender, domicile, age of the respondents and their leisure time activities on the measured figures of environmental knowledge and proenvironmental attitudes. The relation between the knowledge and the attitudes was identified not too tight in contrast to medium-strong positive correlation between the two factors of 2- MEV scales. In the case of sex and place of residence (village/city) no significant effect was proved, either in one of the aspects. The identical conclusions were confirmed concerning the age of respondents, and leisure time activities in relation to their knowledge. However, talking about attitudes there was a significant effect of both determinants. Leisure time outdoor and sports activities in the nature manifested the most positive influence on the affective component. Even if these results are not representative, the new research questions for wider survey are offered in the conclusions.

Variability of total flavonoid and mucilage content of wild growing chamomile ( Matricaria recutita L.) populations

During our investigation 50 wild growing chamomile populations’ active substance content, among them total flavonoid content and swelling index referring to mucilage content were examined in 2009 in the main chamomile collection areas of Hungary. Swelling index was determined according to the general and specified descriptions of Althaeae folium monograph of European Pharmacopoeia, while total flavonoid content was measured by the method described in the monograph of Crataegi folium cum flore. The 50 Hungarian wild growing chamomile populations proved to be very heterogeneous in terms of the examined features. The swelling index of their flower drug samples changed between 15.8 and 80.8 and their total flavonoid content varied from 0.94 to 2.28 %. Significant correlation was also found between meteorological conditions and evaluated characteristics: there was medium strong positive correlation between spring total heat unit (sum of daily 10 °C higher average temperatures of the period lasted from 1st of March, 2009 until the day before flower collection) as well as total heat unit of 10 days before harvest and swelling index (r = 0.50-0.56), furthermore medium strong negative connection could be seen between total heat units and total flavonoid content (r = -0.60-0.65). Based on these findings it can be ascertained that raising temperature affects the mucilage accumulation positively, however, it has a negative effect on the amount of flavonoids.

Spectral principal component analysis of mid-infrared spectra of a sample of PG QSOs

A spectral principal component analysis (SPCA) of a sample of 87 PG QSOs at $z < 0.5$ is presented for their mid-infrared spectra from Spitzer Space Telescope. We have derived the first five eigenspectra, which account for 85.2\% of the mid-infrared spectral variation. It is found that the first eigenspectrum represents the mid-infrared slope, forbidden emission line strength and $9.7~\mu m$ silicate feature, the 3rd and 4th eigenspectra represent the silicate features at $18~ \mu m$ and $9.7~\mu m$, respectively. With the principal components (PC) from optical PCA, we find that there is a medium strong correlation between spectral SPC1 and PC2 (accretion rate). It suggests that more nuclear contribution to the near-IR spectrum leads to the change of mid-IR slope. We find mid-IR forbidden lines are suppressed with higher accretion rate. A medium strong correlation between SPC3 and PC1 (Eddington ratio) suggests a connection between the silicate feature at $18~\mu m$ and the Eddington ratio. For the ratio of the silicate strength at 9.7 $\mu m$ to that at 18 $\mu m$, we find a strong correlation with PC2 (accretion rate or QSO luminosity). We also find that there is a medium strong correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and PC2. It implies a correlation between star formation rate and the central accretion rate in PG QSOs.

Variability of QSOs with variable regions in broad absorption troughs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The variability of broad absorption lines is investigated for a sample of 188 broad-absorption-line (BAL) quasars (QSOs) ($z > 1.7$) with at least two-epoch observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7), covering a time-scale of about 0.001 -- 3 years in the rest frame. Considering only the longest time-scale between epochs for each QSO, 73 variable regions in the \civ BAL troughs are detected for 43 BAL QSOs. The proportion of BAL QSOs showing variable regions increases with longer time-interval than about 1 year in the rest frame. The velocity width of variable regions is narrow compared to the BAL-trough outflow velocity. For 43 BAL QSOs with variable regions, it is found that there is a medium strong correlation between the variation of the continuum luminosity at 1500 \AA\ and the variation of the spectral index. With respect to the total 188 QSOs, larger proportion of BAL QSOs with variable regions appears bluer during their brighter phases, which implies that the origin of BAL variable regions is related to the central accretion process. For 43 BAL QSOs with variable regions, it is possible that there is a negative medium strong correlation between the absolute variation of the equivalent width and the \mgii-based black hole mass, and a medium strong correlation between the maximum outflow velocity of variable regions and the Eddington ratio. These results imply the connection between the BAL-trough variation and the central accretion process.

MODELING THE QUALITY OF LIFE - ECONOMIC GROWTH FUELLED BY TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH, INNOVATION AND KNOWLEDGE

The paper attempts to integrate indicators of economic growth based on innovation, technology research, and knowledge with the indicators of quality of life. The research collected data at the macro-economic level from the Republic of Slovenia between 1990 and 2011 and empirically verified individual variables based on the quality of life and economic growth. The main purpose of the research was to conceptualize and empirically verify individual variables based on the quality of life and company success, using a sample of 288 economic companies at the micro-economic level. Their innovation-government mechanisms and innovation-innovative process show a strong correlation, while technology research, innovation, knowledge, and company´s success show a medium-strong correlation with the quality of life at the micro-economic level. Technology research, knowledge, and economic growth also show a strong correlation with the quality of life at the macro-economic level in the Republic of Slovenia. Company´s success and economic growth in the Republic of Slovenia have a positive effect on the quality of life. The scientific contribution is based on the application of the new QL-TRIK model that investigates how economic growth fuels quality of life through technology research, innovation, and knowledge.

Levels of Inflammatory Cytokines and Chemokines in Hospitalized Children with Sepsis and Pneumonia

Abstract Introduction. Pneumonia is a common childhood lower respiratory tract infection, which accounts for large number of hospitalization and death among children; its diagnosis is based mainly on clinical signs. Aim of the study was to measure inflammatory cytokine panels in children with pneumonia, and their correlation with clinically used inflammatory markers. Materials and methods. We included 20 patients, hospitalized in Children’s Clinical University hospital, with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and radiologically confirmed pneumonia from October 2011 to January 2013. In all patients cytokine and chemokine panels and clinical inflammatory markers were measured at the time of admission, after 24 hours and on the time of discharge. Results. 12 different inflammatory cytokines were measured. sFAS, sVCAM1, IL-8, IL-10, TNF alpha, Eotaxin, G-CSF, IL1ra, IP10 and MCP1 showed statistically significant changes between levels of inclusion in the study and levels after 24 hours. G-CSF, IL-8, IFN gamma, TNF alpha and IL-10 showed also medium strong correlation with clinically used inflammatory markers (PCT, CRO, and IL-6). Conclusions. Inflammatory cytokines show statistically significant changes during course of treatment, thus they could be used in diagnostics in septic patients with pneumonia, and also could show patients response to therapy.

The Value of Signal Peptide‐CUB‐EGF Domain‐containing Protein 1 and Oxidative Stress Parameters in the Diagnosis of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia

This study investigated the diagnostic value of signal peptide-CUB-EGF domain-containing protein 1 (SCUBE-1) and other oxidative stress parameters in the early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia, which has high mortality and morbidity if not identified and treated in the early period. Thirty-six female Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this randomized, controlled study. Rats were divided into six groups: three control groups (Groups I, III, and V) and three ischemia groups (Groups II, IV, and VI). In the control groups, blood and tissue specimens were sampled at 30 minutes (Group I), 2 hours (Group III), and 6 hours (Group V), following a simple laparotomy. In the ischemia groups, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was ligated following laparotomy, and blood and tissue samples were sampled at 30 minutes (Group II), 2 hours (Group IV), and 6 hours (Group VI). When comparing the ischemia and control groups, the differences in SCUBE-1, malondialdehyde (MDA), and total antioxidant status (TAS) levels in the 30-minute period were not significant (p > 0.05); at 2 hours, SCUBE-1 levels rose rapidly, and although the desired level of significance could not be obtained with Bonferroni correction, the level was significantly higher compared to the control group at the same time interval (for SCUBE-1, Group III vs. Group IV, p = 0.006). In these periods (30 minutes and 2 hours), only total oxidative status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) values were significantly higher in the ischemia group compared to the control group (for both, p = 0.004). A pronounced rise in SCUBE-1 levels was determined with 6-hour ischemia (for SCUBE-1, Group V vs. Group VI, p = 0.004). The changes in MDA, TAS, TOS, and OSI levels were not significant (p = 0.025, p = 0.321, p = 0.006, and p = 0.037, respectively). SCUBE-1 levels have the potential to be used as a marker of early period injury in acute mesenteric ischemia, although it is impossible to state explicitly that they can be used for early diagnosis. The same can be said for plasma MDA and TAS levels. The authors believe that TOS and OSI levels, however, can be used in early diagnosis and as an injury marker. Moreover, OSI also exhibits a medium-strong correlation with histopathologic injury.
