Eosinophilic myocarditis from a forensic histopathological perspective

Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare and potentially fatal form of myocarditis characterized by infiltration of the myocardium with eosinophil leukocytes, often accompanied by eosinophilia. Although the exact underlying cause remains unknown, it has been shown to be associated with hypersensitivity reactions, immune-mediated disorders, infections, or cancer. Due to the differences in symptomatology, it is often diagnosed by postmortem histopathological examination. We aimed to retrospectively examine the histopathological findings of rare cases of EM and to detect accompanying cardiac and other organ pathologies. The histopathological findings of the cases that underwent autopsies between 2012 and 2020 and were diagnosed with EM were assessed. Demographic features, symptoms, causes of death, macroscopical findings at autopsy, toxicologic and microbiological analysis results, accompanying cardiac pathologies, and histopathological findings in other organs were evaluated. Myocarditis was detected on histopathologic examination in 558 (1.1%) of 49,612 forensic autopsies. There were 12 (2.3%) EM cases. There were nine males and four females. The mean age was 42.3 (3–83) years. Heart weights ranged from 82 to 564 g. The most common finding on macroscopic examination was the mottled discoloration and scarring in the myocardium. Microscopic examination revealed perivascular and interstitial infiltration of eosinophils in all of the cases accompanied by myocyte necrosis in four of them. EM was reported as the cause of death in four cases. EM remains a challenging heart disease with its obscure etiopathogenesis and varying clinical presentation and a rare entity diagnosed by postmortem histopathological examination in sudden and unexpected deaths.     

When should a firm collaborate with research organizations for innovation performance? The moderating role of innovation orientation,size, and age

Little is known about the conditions strengthening or weakening the impact of a firm’s collaboration with research organizations on innovation performance. Thus, this study uses a sample of 542 manufacturing firms in Korea to examine how innovation orientation and firm size and age as internal characteristics influence the relationship between collaboration with research organizations and innovation performance. The results show that collaboration with research organizations has a positive impact on innovation performance. More importantly, this effect is stronger (weaker) for firms with a strong orientation toward exploration (exploitation). In addition, older or larger firms obtain greater benefits from collaboration with research organizations. This study contributes toward clarifying a firm’s collaboration with research organizations.

中国区域生态补偿中的补偿标准问题研究

探索和实施区域生态补偿,是当前中国优化区域开发格局和实现区域协调发展的重要路径,而补偿标准是其中的难点问题之一。该文从中央政府主导下的生态补偿和地方政府之间的生态补偿两大方面,提炼和总结确定补偿标准在实践中的难点所在及其负面影响,指出过度依赖于政府体制以及行政命令式的补偿标准会导致效率损失和区域利益的空间失衡。在此基础上,从区域发展权利、实现基本公共服务均等化、形成弹性化差异化的补偿标准和加强对补偿效果的监测等方面探讨了破解难题的思路。

转型时期的俄罗斯工会与社会危机

苏联解体后,俄罗斯工会正逐渐适应如何在市场环境下进行活动。在俄罗斯转轨初期,由于国内外政治经济发生巨变,俄罗斯工会组织不可避免地处于被弱化和矛盾冲突的地位,工会内部由于经济利益的原因发生了分裂,因而难以形成一致性意见来有效解决这些矛盾。本文结合俄罗斯民众对危机的评价,针对转型期的俄罗斯社会存在的不足和问题,探讨了俄罗斯工会存在问题的解决方式。
