The crystal structure of the methanol solvate of (1) was determined [C2/c, a = 1348.3(2), b = 1451.0(2), c = 1853.8(3) pm, β = 99.90(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.037 for 3138 unique observed reflections], 1 possesses crystallographic twofold symmetry, with Au -O 206.3, Au -P 221.6 pm. The corresponding selenate is isomorphous.

Objective: This study aimed at examining whether topical treatment of colon anastomosis with hyaluronic acid can influence the healing of colonic anastomosis in rats treated with systemic corticosteroid. Methods: Three groups of Wistar rats weighing 252 ± 7g were used, with six rats each, all submitted to anastomosis of the proximal colon: Group 1 - control rats, without treatment. Group 2 - rats treated with subcutaneous (s.c) corticosteroid, and topical application of 0.9% saline solution over the anastomosis. Group 3 - rats treated with corticosteroid s.c. and topical application of 0.4% hyaluronic acid (10 mg/ml) on colonic anastomosis. On the 7th postoperative day, under anesthesia and laparotomy, the anastomosis site was subjected to the determination of rupture pressure. Then, samples containing the anastomosis site were resected and fixed in 10% buffered formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Masson H-E and trichrome staining. Histometry evaluated the infiltration of inflammatory cells at the anastomosis site, using a numerical scale from 0 to 4. Continuous variables were assessed using the Tukey test. Differences considered significant with p<0.05. Results: All animals survived the experiments. There were no abscesses, fistulas and macroscopically detectable dehiscences in the anastomosis site. The weight of the animals on the 7th postoperative day showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) between the control (253.6±6.3g) and corticoid (221.6±15.4g) groups, as well as between the corticoid +. hyaluronic acid group (257.8±9.7g) and corticosteroids (221.6±15.4). There was no significant difference in the comparison between the control and corticoid + hyaluronic acid groups (p>0.05). In the analysis of intraluminal pressure of colonic anastomosis, there was a statistically significant difference when comparing groups 1 (286.8±9.9 mmHg) and 2 (155±6.0 mmHg), 1 (286.8±9,9 mmHg) and 3 (199.1±7.7) and 2 (155±6.0 mmHg) and 3 (199.1±7.7), with p<0.001 for all comparisons. Histopathological classification by the numerical scale: Group 1 - inflammatory response (H-E) grade 3 and collagen deposition by Masson Trichomic grade 1; Group 2 - inflammatory response (H-E) grade 4 and deposition of collagen and fibroblasts by Masson's Trichrome grade1\2; Group 3 - inflammatory response (H-E) grade 3 and deposition of collagen and fibroblasts by Masson's Trichrome grade 1\2. There was no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: The topical use of hyaluronic acid has a positive influence on the initial healing phase of colonic anastomosis in rats treated with systemic corticosteroid.

We investigated changes in plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein concentration during sevoflurane anesthesia induction in children < 3 years old and determined the effect of co-administering dexmedetomidine. This preliminary randomized trial included 60 pediatric patients who received sevoflurane anesthesia for >3 h. Patients were assigned to dexmedetomidine or control groups at a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome was changes in plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein concentration of dexmedetomidine and control groups over time. Fifty-five patients were included in the final analysis. The median (interquartile range (IQR)) of the plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein level was 387.7 (298.9–510.8) pg·mL−1 immediately after anesthetic induction, 302.6 (250.9–412.5) pg·mL−1 at 30 min, and 321.9 (233.8–576.2) pg·mL−1 at 180 min after the first sample. These values did not change over time (p = 0.759). However, plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein increased after 180 min of infusion of dexmedetomidine compared with values at 30 min infusion (p = 0.04, mean difference and 95% confidence interval of 221.6 and 2.2 to 441.0 pg·mL−1). In conclusion, three hours of sevoflurane anesthesia in pediatric patients < 3 years old did not provoke neuronal injury assessed by the plasma biomarker. Further studies regarding the effect of prolonged dexmedetomidine infusion on anesthetic neuronal injury are required.

Background. The thrombin generation test (TGT) as an integral method for analyzing the activation cascade of natural pro- and anticoagulants is of practical importance in assessing the risk of thrombotic conditions and bleeding, however its application is limited by the lack of standardization. Objective. To define reference intervals within the laboratory and assess inter-individual variation in TGT values for different technologies. Design and methods. The study included 20 donors. TGT was performed using two technologies: a calibrated automated thrombogram on a semi-automatic fluorometer (Technology 1) and automatic measurement of GT on a coagulometer (Technology 2). Obtained results were normalized to pooled normal plasma. Results. Thrombogram parameters showed a high CVG (coefficient of interindividual variation): 14–32 % for Technology 1 and 7–36 % for Technology 2. CVG did not change significantly after normalization. Significant differences in ETP (endogenous thrombin potential) were noted. The reference intervals for Technology 1 were: ETR 1478.0–2595.0 nmol/ min and peak thrombin concentration (Peak thr.) 221.6–412.0 nmol. RI for Technology 2: ETP 2451.00–3161.00 nmol/min and Peak thr. 161.60–479.30 nmol. Conclusion. Comparison of the two laboratory TGT technologies revealed high inter-individual variation. Thus, the use of a study in dynamics for each specific individual is likely to be more informative than the use of RI obtained in the general population. Dynamic monitoring of the patient must be performed using one technology.

A field experiment was conducted at Experimental Farm, Nagaland University, Medziphema campus, Nagaland during rabi season of 2019-2020 to study the response of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) to integrated nutrient management.The 12 treatments were evaluated in RBD with three replications. Results revealed that application of different levels of fertilizes and organic manures either alone or in combination significantly increased the growth, yield and quality of broccoli as compared to control. Application of full dose of RDF exhibited maximum plant height (50.3 cm), number of leaves (18.2), stem diameter (20.7 mm), plant spread (69.2 cm), ascorbic acid content (60.9 mg 100-1 g), protein content in head (1.58%) and yield (8.20 t ha-1). However, these parameters were found statistically at par with poultry manure 2.5 t ha-1 + ½ of RDF. There was a significant build up of organic carbon and available nutrients in post harvest soil with INM practices and maximum values of organic carbon (19.0 g kg-1), available P (20.9 kg ha-1) were recorded and available K (171.2 kg ha-1) with poultry manure 2.5 t ha-1 + ½ of RDF. While maximum value of available nitrogen (221.6 kg ha-1) in post harvest soil was recorded with full dose of RDF as inorganics. The highest net return (Rs. 1,96,145.51)along with benefit: cost ratio (2.16) were recorded in full dose of RDF followed by poultry manure 2.5 t ha-1 + ½ of RDF with net return of Rs.1,81220.35 and cost benefit ratio of 1.90.

To evaluate the contribution of the purine nucleotide cycle (PNC) in renal ammoniagenesis, ammonia production (AP) in cortical tubular suspensions and microdissected nephron segments of control and acidotic rats was determined using various amino acids, including glutamine (Gln) and aspartate (Asp). In the cortical tubular suspensions, the best substrate for ammoniagenesis was Gln (153.1 +/- 19.4 nmol.mg protein-1.15 min-1) followed by Asp (70.9 +/- 11.4). Metabolic acidosis resulted in a significant increase of AP only from Gln (316.5 +/- 36.1 nmol.mg protein-1.15 min-1, P less than 0.01 vs. control). Intranephron distribution of AP (pmol/mm or a glomerulus/15 min) from Gln showed that the first segment of the proximal tubule (S1) was highest in control (95.7 +/- 9.0), and its AP markedly increased in acidosis (221.6 +/- 8.3, P less than 0.001 vs. control). The most interesting and striking finding was that with Asp as a substrate, AP was maximal in S1 (165.0 +/- 32.8), with a value exceeding that from Gln. An adenylosuccinase inhibitor, 6-mercaptopurine (0.1 mM), significantly inhibited AP from Asp in S1 and S3, and from Gln in S1. On the contrary, a specific inhibitor of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, 3-mercaptopicolinate (0.1 mM), caused a significant decrease of AP from Gln, but not from Asp, in S1. From these results it could be concluded that AP via PNC can occur at high rates, especially in S1, only when Asp is present at high concentrations.

Background/Aim: Worldwide shortage of donor organs has increased the use of donation after cardiac death (DCD). The aim of this study was to analyze the best time point for venous systemic oxygen persufflation (VSOP) supplemented with nitric oxide (NO) gas during the 1st and 24th hour of cold storage (CS) in warm ischemia (WI)-damaged experimental liver grafts. Materials and Methods: Liver grafts (n = 5) were retrieved after 30 min of WI induced by cardiac arrest and CS in histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution at 4°C. The 1st hour group was immediately persufflated with a VSOP plus NO (VSOP+NO) mixture for 1 h followed by 23 h of static CS (DCD+NO 1st hour). The 24th hour group entailed CS for 23 h followed by 1 h of VSOP+NO persufflation (DCD+NO 24th hour). CS livers without WI but with VSOP served as controls. CS livers with WI represented the fourth group (DCD). Viability of the liver grafts was assessed by normothermic isolated reperfusion for 45 min with oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer. Results: Data are presented as mean ± SEM (control vs. DCD vs. DCD+NO 1st hour vs. DCD+NO 24th hour). After 45 min of reperfusion, the DCD+NO 1st hour group showed significantly lower aspartate aminotransferase (13.4 ± 5.3, 63.2 ± 17.3, 25.6 ± 3.9, and 82.8 ± 27.3 U/l) and lactate dehydrogenase levels (289.4 ± 41.2, 2,139.4 ± 542.7, 577.2 ± 117.2, and 2,429 ± 221.6 U/l). Malondialdehyde levels were significantly abrogated (1.0 ± 0.3, 2.7 ± 1, 1.0 ± 0, and 3.9 ± 1.2 nmol/ml). Significantly higher levels of portal venous pressure were recorded in the DCD+NO 24th hour group (12.0 ± 1, 21.2 ± 3.1, 16.1 ± 1, and 23.2 ± 3.5 mm Hg). NO levels were recorded after 5 min of reperfusion (1.42 ± 0.17, 1.8 ± 0.2, 2.7 ± 0.2, and 2.6 ± 0.1 μmol/l). Bile production levels showed no statistical significance (23.2 ± 3.8, 27.3 ± 1.8, 43.5 ± 18, and 31 ± 2.5 μl/45 min). Conclusion: Our results present the beneficial effects of NO combined with VSOP during the 1st hour of CS of WI-damaged experimental liver grafts.

Purpose. To evaluate the effects of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) treatment on the blood flow of the optic nerve head (ONH) and of retinal vessels of the peripapillary region of eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) assessed using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG). Methods. Forty eyes of 30 patients treated with IVR for DME were included in this prospective clinical study. Mean blur rate (MBR) and relative flow volume (RFV) of the ONH and of a superior retinal artery and an inferior retinal vein of the peripapillary region were measured using LSFG at baseline, 2 weeks (T1), and 1 month (T2) after IVR injection. In addition, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central retinal thickness (CRT) were measured in all cases. Results. The BCVA improved and CRT decreased significantly during the follow-up period (p<0.010). MBR-related parameters of the ONH such as MBR of all area (MA), MBR of vascular area (MV), and MBR of tissue area (MT) decreased significantly at 2 weeks after IVR compared to baseline values (MA, p=0.046; MT, p=0.023; MV, p=0.025), with no significant change at T2 compared to T1. MBR of the retinal artery and vein changed significantly at 2 weeks after IVR and did not change significantly thereafter (p=0.004 and p=0.01, respectively). The median of RFV of the 2 vessels was 269.5 (221.6–285.5) and 306.8 (285.6–372.4) at baseline and 199.7 (152.4–204.7) and 259.1 (140.9–336.8) at 4 weeks, respectively (p=0.292 and p=0.002, respectively). Blowout time changed significantly in ONH from 47.6 (44.2–50.2) at baseline to 54.4 (46.8–65.3) at 1 month after IVR (p=0.001). Conclusion. IVR injection leads to a reduction of ocular blood flow both in the ONH and in the retinal peripapillary vessels associated with peripapillary vessel constriction. The reduction of CRT and related improvement of vision may be related to the changes in ocular blood flow.

Text in Afrikaans
In hierdie studie word veral gewerk met twee begrippe naamlik Teologie en Ideologie. Ideologie word gedefinieer as ’n potensieel gevaarlike stel samehangende idees van hoe ’n bepaalde samelewing onder alle omstandighede en tye gestruktureer behoort te word en wat nie teenstand duld nie. Teologie word gedefinieer as nadenke oor God, sy persoon, verhouding en optrede teenoor mense. Teologie is egter nie immuun teen ideologiese invloede nie. Hierdie punt word geïllustreer uit die geskiedenis van die Judeërs aan die einde van die monargale tydperk aan die hand van twee teksgedeeltes naamlik 2 Samuel 7:1-16 en Jeremia 7:1-15. Teenoor die vaste geloof in die Dawids- en Sionstradisies, wat in besonder verwoord word in 2 Samuel 7:1-16, wat die volk onder alle omstandighede en te alle tye teen vyande sal beskerm, word die stem van die Jeremia gehoor. Jeremia pleit vir ’n terugkeer na die basiese waarhede van die Jahwistiese geloof naamlik omgee, liefde en regverdigheid en geregtigheid teenoor alle mense. Die verwerping van Jeremia se boodskap en die vasklou aan die twee ideologies gekleurde tradisies, lei direk tot die Babiloniese ballingskap wat byna die einde van die Judeërs beteken het. Ook vir die Christelike kerk is die versmelting van ideologie en teologie altyd ’n wesentlike gevaar. This study focused on two important concepts namely Theology and Ideology. Ideology is defined as a potentially dangerous set of integrated ideas according to which a certain society is supposed to be structured at all times and situations and no opposition is tolerated. Theology is defined as thoughts about God, his person, relations and acts towards people. Theology can very easily and unknowingly display certain aspects of Ideology. This point is illustrated from the history of the Judean people at the end of the Monarchical period from two texts namely 2 Samuel 7:1-16 and Jeremiah 7:1-15. Against the firm belief in the David- and Ziontraditions, which is expressed in 2 Samuel 7:1-16, which protected the Judeans against any threat and any enemy, we hear the voice of the prophet Jeremiah. Particularly in Jeremiah 7:1-15 the prophet Jeremiah is pleading for a return to the basic principals of the Yahwistic religion namely, care, love and justice to all people. The rejection of the message of Jeremiah and the choice for the two ideologically coloured traditions has led to the Babylonian exile that almost caused the end of the Judeans. This blending of ideology and theology is also potentially a big threat to the Christian church.

Abstract Well BO-X is located in offshore East Malaysia and was completed as a single string producer on 22nd July 2014. Well BO-X has maximum deviation of 57.5 deg at depth 3,150ft MDTHF. Based on the MIT logs, several leaks have been detected on the string which caused the well unable to flow. Well was flowing for 2 years before identified with multiple leaks due to severe metal loss and high penetration along more than 1,400 ft tubing interval (400 ft above the TRSCSSV and 1000ft below the TRSCSSV). Multiple attempts tried to flow well but failed due to circulation of gas through leak points at tubing. Tubing was found to be leaking at multiple points above TRSCSSV (449 ft MDTHF) with severe pitting / penetration at a single point below between ESP discharge head and TRSCSSV from 2 MIT runs. The leaks were detected at depth (1) 64 ft MDTHF, (2) 126.8 ft MDTHF and (3) 221.2 ft MDTHF. There were also several potential leaks detected along the long string above the top packer Reservoir simulation studies and production rate both indicated that the production tubing leaks is deteriorate and few methods were considered to bring back the optimum production. Tubing pack off system technique was considered as it can deploy with slickline, retrievable and ideal use to isolate tubing leaks however there is potential that more leaks will develop along the production years. Workover as an option to replace the tubing could easily cost millions of dollar (USD) Before surrender the well to workover team, a coiled tubing patch system was designed in a cooperative project involving operator and service company to provide an improved tubing pack off system which can straddle the tubing leaks by using coiled tubing instead of spacer pipe. This coiled tubing patch system was significantly lower cost and keep the functionality of Tubing Retrievable Surface Control Subsurface Safety Valve (TRSCSSV) by installing two straddle packer system – upper straddle packer system to cover leak points above TRSCSSV while another straddle system to cover leak points below TRSCSSV (Fig 1).
