1Assessing the Dynamics of Grassland Net Primary Productivity in Response to Climate Change at the Global Scale显示文摘Understanding the net primary productivity(NPP) of grassland is crucial to evaluate the terrestrial carbon cycle. In this study, we investigated the spatial distribution and the area of global grassland across the globe. Then, we used the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach(CASA) model to estimate global grassland NPP and explore the spatio-temporal variations of grassland NPP in response to climate change from 1982 to 2008. Results showed that the largest area of grassland distribution during the study period was in Asia(1737.23 × 104 km^2), while the grassland area in Europe was relatively small(202.83 × 10~4 km^2). Temporally, the total NPP increased with fluctuations from 1982 to 2008, with an annual increase rate of 0.03 Pg C/yr. The total NPP experienced a significant increasing trend from 1982 to 1995, while a decreasing trend was observed from 1996 to 2008. Spatially, the grassland NPP in South America and Africa were higher than the other regions, largely as a result of these regions are under warm and wet climatic conditions. The highest mean NPP was recorded for savannas(560.10 g C/(m^2·yr)), whereas the lowest was observed in open shrublands with an average NPP of 162.53 g C/(m^2·yr). The relationship between grassland NPP and annual mean temperature and annual precipitation(AMT, AP, respectively) varies with changes in AP, which indicates that, grassland NPP is more sensitive to precipitation than temperature.LIU Yangyang YANG Yue WANG Qian KHALIFA Muhammad ZHANG Zhaoying TONG Linjing LI Jianlong SHI Aiping 2019Chinese Geographical Science2019,29,5:12
2Effect of Aging on the Toughness of Austenitic and Duplex Stainless Steel Weldments显示文摘In the present study,the effect of aging heat treatment at 650,750,and 850?C on the impact toughness of 316L austenitic stainless steel,2205 duplex stainless steel and their weldments has been investigated.Welding process was conducted using the TIG(tungsten inert gas) welding technique.Instrumented impact testing,at room temperature,was employed to determine the effect of aging treatment on the impact properties of investigated materials.Aging treatment resulted in degradation in the impact toughness as demonstrated by the reduction in the impact fracture energy and deformation parameters(strain hardening capacity,fracture deffection,and crack initiation and propagation energy).The degree of embrittlement was more noticeable in duplex stainless steel parent and weld-metal than in 316L stainless steel and became greater with the increase of aging temperature.The degradation in impact toughness was discussed in relation to the observed precipitation of the intermetallic sigma phase in the microstructure of the stainless steel weldments and the corresponding fracture surface morphology.Omyma Hassan Ibrahim Ibrahim Soliman Ibrahim Tarek Ahmed Fouad Khalifa 2010Journal of Materials Science & Technology2010,26,9:12
3CDX2 as a marker for intestinal differentiation: Its utility and limitations显示文摘CDX2 is a nuclear homeobox transcription factor that belongs to the caudalrelated family of CDX homeobox genes. The gene encoding CDX2 is a nonclustered hexapeptide located on chromosome 13q12-13. Homeobox genes play an essential role in the control of normal embryonic development. CDX2 is crucial for axial patterning of the alimentary tract during embryonic development and is involved in the processes of intestinal cell proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, and apoptosis. It is considered specif ic for enterocytes and has been used for the diagnosis of primary and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. CDX2 expression has been reported to be organ specif ic and is normally expressed throughout embryonic and postnatal life within the nuclei of epithelial cells of the alimentary tract from the proximal duodenum to the distal rectum. In this review, the authors elaborate on the diagnostic utility of CDX2 in gastrointestinal tumors and other neoplasms with intestinal differentiation. Limitations with its use as the sole predictor of a gastrointestinal origin of metastatic carcinomas are also discussed.Reda S Saad Zeina Ghorab Mahmoud A Khalifa 2011World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2011,3,11:11
4The past, current and future trends in DNA vaccine immunisations显示文摘This review focuses on DNA vaccines, denoting the last two decades since the early substantiation of preclinical protection was published in Science in 1993 by Ulmer et al. In spite of being safely administered and easily engineered and manufactured DNA vaccine, it holds the future prospects of immunization by inducing potent cellular immune responses against infectious and non-infectious diseases. It is well documented that injection of DNA plasmid encoding a desired gene of interest can result in the subsequent expression of its products and lead to the induction of an immune response within a host. This is pertinent to prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination approach when the peculiar gene produces a protective epitope from a pathogen. The recent studies demonstrated by a number of research centers showed that these immune responses evoke protective immunity against several infectious diseases and cancers, which provides adequate support for the use of this approach. We attempt in this review to provide an informative and unbiased overview of the general principles and concept of DNA vaccines technology with a summary of a novel approach to the DNA vaccine, present investigations that describe the mechanism(s) of protective immunity provoked by DNA immunization and to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of DNA immunisation.Sidgi Syed Anwer Abdo Hasson Juma Khalifa Zayid Al-Busaidi Talal Abdulmalek Sallam 2015Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2015,5,5:7
5Transcranial magnetic stimulation for geriatric depression: Promises and pitfalls显示文摘As the global population gets older, depression in the elderly is emerging as an important health issue. A major challenge in treating geriatric depression is the lack of robust efficacy for many treatments that are of significant benefit to depressed working age adults. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(r TMS) is a novel physical treatment approach used mostly in working age adults with depression. Many TMS trials and clinics continue to exclude the elderly from treatment citing lack of evidence in this age group. In this review, we appraise the evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of rT MS in the elderly. A consistent observation supporting a high degree of tolerability and safety among the elderly patients emerged across the Randomised Controlled Trials and the uncontrolled trials. Further, there is no reliable evidence negating the utility of rT MS in the elderly with depression. We also identified several factors other than age that moderate the observed variations in the efficacy of rT MS in the elderly. These factors include but not limited to:(1) brain atrophy;(2) intensity and number of pulses(dose-response relationship); and(3) clinical profile of patients. On the basis of the current evidence, the practice of excluding elderly patients from TMS clinics and trials cannot be supported.Priyadharshini Sabesan Sudheer Lankappa Najat Khalifa Vasudevan Krishnan Rahul Gandhi Lena Palaniyappan 2015World Journal of Psychiatry2015,5,2:7

7Predicting the presence of adenomatous polyps during colonoscopy with National Cancer Institute Colorectal Cancer Risk-Assessment Tool显示文摘AIM To evaluate the National Cancer Institute(NCI)Colorectal Cancer(CRC)Risk Assessment Tool as a predictor for the presence of adenomatous polyps(AP) found during screening or surveillance colonoscopy.METHODS This is a retrospective single center observational study.We collected data of adenomatous polyps in each colonoscopy and then evaluated the lifetime CRC risk.We calculated the AP prevalence across risk score quintiles,odds ratios of the prevalence of AP across risk score quintiles,area under curves(AUCs)and Youden’s indexes to assess the optimal risk score cut off value for AP prevalence status.RESULTS The prevalence of AP gradually increased throughout the five risk score quintiles:i.e.,27.63%in the first and 51.35%in the fifth quintile.The odd ratios of AP prevalence in the fifth quintile compared to the first and second quintile were 2.76[confidence interval(CI):1.71-4.47]and 2.09(CI:1.32-3.30).The AUC for all patients was 0.62(CI:0.58-0.66).Youden’s Index indicated the optimal risk score cutoff value discriminating AP prevalence status was 3.60.CONCLUSION Patients with the higher NCI risk score have higher risk of AP and subsequent CRC;therefore,measures to increase the effectiveness of CRC detection in these patients include longer withdrawal time,early surveillance colonoscopy,and choosing flexible colonoscopy over other CRC screening modalities.Hassan Tariq Muhammad Umar Kamal Harish Patel Ravi Patel Muhammad Ameen Shehi Elona Maram Khalifa Sara Azam Aiyi Zhang Kishore Kumar Ahmed Baiomi Danial Shaikh Jasbir Makker 2018World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,34:3
8Safety and efficacy of surgical hip dislocation in managing femoral head fractures: A systematic review and meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Femoral head fractures(FHFs)are considered relatively uncommon injuries;however,open reduction and internal fixation is preferred for most displaced fractures.Several surgical approaches had been utilized with controversial results;surgical hip dislocation(SHD)is among these approaches,with the reputation of being demanding and leading to higher complication rates.AIM To determine the efficacy and safety of SHD in managing FHFs by reviewing the results reported in the literature.METHODS Major databases including PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched to identify studies reporting on outcomes of SHD utilized as an approach in treating FHFs.We extracted basic studies data,surgery-related data,functional outcomes,radiological outcomes,and postoperative complications.We calculated the mean differences for continuous data with 95%confidence intervals for each outcome and the odds ratio with 95%confidence intervals for binary outcomes.P<0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS Our search retrieved nine studies meeting our inclusion criteria,with a total of 129 FHFs.The results of our analysis revealed that the average operation time was 123.74 min,while the average blood loss was 491.89 mL.After an average followup of 38.4 mo,a satisfactory clinical outcome was achieved in 85%of patients,ranged from 30%to 86%,with avascular necrosis,heterotopic ossification,and osteoarthritis being the most common complications occurring at an incidence of 12%,25%,and 16%,respectively.Trochanteric flip osteotomy nonunion and trochanteric bursitis as a unique complication of SHD occurred at an incidence of 3.4%and 3.8%,respectively.CONCLUSION The integration of SHD approach for dealing with FHFs offered acceptable functional and radiological outcomes with a wide range of safety in regards to the hip joint vascularity and the development of avascular necrosis,the formation of heterotopic ossification,and the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis;however,it still carries its unique risk of trochanteric flip osteotomy nonunion and persistent lateral thigh pain.Ahmed A Khalifa Mohamed A Haridy Ali Fergany 2021World Journal of Orthopedics2021,12,8:3

11Association of hepatitis C virus infection and diabetes in central Tunisia显示文摘AIM:To investigate hepatitis C virus(HCV) seroprevalence in Tunisian patients with diabetes mellitus and in a control group.METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the HCV seroprevalence in 1269 patients with diabetes(452 male,817 female) and 1315 nondiabetic patients,attending health centers in Sousse,Tunisia.HCV screening was performed in both groups using a fourth-generation enzyme immunoassay.RESULTS:In the diabetic group,17(1.3%) were found to be HCV-infected compared with eight(0.6%) in the control group,although the difference was not significant(P=0.057).Quantitative PCR was performed in 20 patients.Eleven patients were positive and showed HCV genotype 1b in all cases.CONCLUSION:Frequency of HCV antibodies was low in patients with diabetes and in the control group in central Tunisia,with no signifi cant difference between the groups.Naoufel Kaabia Elhem Ben Jazia Ines Slim Imen Fodha Wissem Hachfi Rafika Gaha Mabrouk Khalifa Aoutef Hadj Kilani Halim Trabelsi Ahmed Abdelaziz Fethi Bahri Amel Letaief 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,22:2
12Decision Making Algorithmic Approaches Based on Parameterization of Neutrosophic Set under Hypersoft Set Environment with Fuzzy, Intuitionistic Fuzzy and Neutrosophic Settings显示文摘Hypersoft set is an extension of soft set as it further partitions each attribute into its corresponding attribute-valued set.This structure is more flexible and useful as it addresses the limitation of soft set for dealing with the scenarios having disjoint attribute-valued sets corresponding to distinct attributes.The main purpose of this study is to make the existing literature regarding neutrosophic parameterized soft set in line with the need of multi-attribute approximate function.Firstly,we conceptualize the neutrosophic parameterized hypersoft sets under the settings of fuzzy set,intuitionistic fuzzy set and neutrosophic set along with some of their elementary properties and set theoretic operations.Secondly,we propose decision-making-based algorithms with the help of these theories.Moreover,illustrative examples are presented which depict the structural validity for successful application to the problems involving vagueness and uncertainties.Lastly,the generalization of the proposed structure is discussed.Atiqe Ur Rahman Muhammad Saeed Sultan S.Alodhaibi Hamiden Abd El-Wahed Khalifa 2021Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences2021,,8:2
