Lipoprotein Distribution

Abstract Background Because several sterols are carried by serum lipoproteins that are pivotal in cholesterol metabolism and atherosclerosis this study aimed at investigating their lipoprotein distribution in individuals differing according to HDL-C plasma levels. Methods Healthy participants were selected with plasma HDL-C concentrations < 40 mg/dL (Low HDL, n = 12), above 40 mg/dL and below 60 mg/dL (Controls, n = 10), or above 60 mg/dL (High HDL, n = 15). Plasma lipoproteins were separated by sequential ultracentrifugation. [27-OHC]), noncholesterol sterols precursors of cholesterol synthesis (NCSPCS: desmosterol and lathosterol) and phytosterols (campesterol and sitosterol) were measured by GC-MS analysis. Diferences between groups were compared by Kruskall-walys and Dunn's post-test with correction by Bonferroni. Results The groups were similar in about BMI, age, gender distribution and blood glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-C. The High HDL group had lower concentrations of triglycerides and VLDL-C compared to others. Percentage distribution of plasma 24-OHC and 27-OHC in lipoproteins did not differ among investigated groups, but plasma concentration of 24-OHC was lower in High HDL than in Low HDL (27- OHC significance difference was borderline). NCSPCS and phytosterols predominate in LDL, which carries approximately 50% of these molecules. Approximately 30% of desmosterol and lathosterol are present in HDL, the High HDL group carrying higher percent of both sterols than the Low HDL and Control groups. Less than 20% of NCSPCS are transported in VLDL. Concentration of plasma campesterol and sitosterol did not differ among groups. However, LDL sitosterol percent distribution is lower in High HDL than in Low HDL and Controls. Campesterol and sitosterol percent distributions are higher in High HDL than in the Low HDL group. Conclusions Elevated NCSPCS in the High HDL group suggests HDL facilitates the export of these sterols from cells but not the export of the cholesterol metabolite 24-OHC which is lower in the High HDL than in the Low HDL group. Percent campesterol and sitosterol elevated in HDL suggests phytosterols absorbed in the enterocytes are incorporated mostly into the nascent HDL.

This study aims to investigate the possible effects of peripheral learning on elementary EFL learners’ grammar improvement: the case of prepositions of time and place. Two elementary classes were selected as experimental and control groups. Before beginning the treatment, a grammar test was administered to both the groups as a pre-test. Then, as treatment, the experimental group was exposed to realia, pictures, posters and texts, while the control group was not. After term-long treatment of 10 weeks, the two groups received the same grammar test as post-test. The results of t-test showed that the experimental group improved their grammar ability, i.e., knowledge of prepositions of time and place more than their friends in the control group. The finding of the study may open an optional path for teachers to include some peripheral materials in their teaching environment to further invest on unconscious learning abilities of the students.   Keywords: Peripheral learning, reposition of time, prepositions of place, grammar.

Perineal Care

Background: Educating mothers during their postpartum period could potentially help them to overcome some important phases after giving birth. The process of education is evaluated based on the mothers’ knowledge about their independent self-care. Independency is an activity that is started individually and is done based on self-capability. The independency in the postpartum care is not only important to decrease the mother’s mortality and morbidity rate, but it is also crucial to strengthen and improve the post-partum mother’s healthy behavior during the perineal care. Providing education using Android-based application called BUBI Care could be potential to facilitate a more dynamic transfer of knowledge to the postpartum mothers.Aims: To analyze the knowledge, skills, and independence of primipara postpartum mothers in independent perineal care before and after accessing BUBI Care app. Research Method: employing quasi experimental research with pre-test and post-test design with control group design. The sample for this research were 19 pregnant mothers TM III (pregnancy age of ? 38 weeks) on each group. The treatment group was educated using BUBI Care Android app that was conducted at one of Public Health Center. The control group was educated without BUBI Care that was conducted at a Midwife Practice Clinic. The research was conducted on September to October 2020. Study Result: According to the Wilcoxon test, there was a difference in the pre-test knowledge of the treatment and control groups with the similar median of 53 and p-value of 0.666, the treatment group showed their scores improved to 80 on the post-test while the control group stayed at 53 with the p-value of 0.000. It means that BUBI Care app education influences the post-test. On the other hand, the perineal care skill saw a difference between the intervention and control groups. The intervention group had a mean of 70.05 and 56.68 for the control group with the p-value of 0.002 which means that there was an influence from the BUBI Care app education. Additionally, Mann Whitney test showed that the intervention group had a mean score of 78.95, but the control group only had 49.26, the total difference between the two are 29.69 with the p-value of 0.000. It can be concluded that there is a significance in difference in the independency rate from the provision of BUBI Care Android app education.Conclusion:  there is a significance effect on the intervention group in terms of Android based usage.
