СТРУКТУРНО-ФУНКЦІОНАЛЬНІ ПОРУШЕННЯ МІКРОЦИРКУЛЯЦІЇ ЯСЕН ПРИ ГЕНЕРАЛІЗОВАНОМУ ПАРОДОНТИТІ
Authors: Різник Світлана , Різник Юрій
Published: July 2023

За оцінками ВООЗ, важкі захворювання пародонту вражають близько 19% дорослого населення світу, що становить понад 1 мільярд випадків у всьому світі. Основними факторами ризику пародонтозу є погана гігієна ротової порожнини та вживання тютюну. Захворювання порожнини рота охоплюють низку захворювань і станів, які включають карієс зубів, пародонтит (захворювання ясен), втрату зубів, рак ротової порожнини, ородентальні травми, номи та вроджені вади, такі як заяча губа та піднебіння. Обґрунтовано про актуальність проведення дослідження структурно-функціональних порушень мікроциркуляції ясен при генералізованому пародонтиті. В пародонті спостерігаються синхронні зміни показників функціонального стану судин пародонту та мікроциркуляторного русла. Вивчення структурно-функціональних паралелей гемомікроциркуляторного русла пародонту свідчить про те, що однією із ланок патогенетичної теорії генералізованого пародонтиту є судинна. Дане дослідження може бути використане для проведення ефективного, цілеспрямованого, комплексного лікування генералізованого пародонтиту під час фармакотерапії із використанням препаратів різних клініко-фармакологічних, номенклатурно-правових і класифікаційно-правових груп; вивчення фармакоекономічних показників щодо доступності лікарських засобів цьому контингенту пацієнтів. Доведено, що ультраструктурні зміни плазмолеми ендотеліоцитів, як з боку просвіту судини, так і з боку базальної мембрани свідчать про порушення проникності судин.

Background: Esophageal achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder of unknown etiology that results in impaired lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and loss of esophageal peristalsis. The aim of our study was to show our experience in the management of esophageal achalasia in a case treated by laparotomy in our service. Case Report: 21-year-old patient, student, admitted to our department for progressive dysphagia to solids accompanied by regurgitation, epigastric pain, nocturnal cough and weight loss, evolving for 5 years. ATCD of pulmonary tuberculosis. The physical examination noted a deterioration in general condition, stage (I) of the WHO; there was hypo coloration of the integuments and conjunctivae, TA=120/80mmHg, Pulse=70/min. The abdomen was symmetrical with presence of sluggish skin folds, supple and painless without a palpable mass, the digital rectal examination did not present any particularity. The thorax was symmetrical with a FR=20 c/mn. The biology showed a normo chrome and normocytic anemia of 8 g/l Group O+. The esogastroduodenal transit was in favor of an amputation (tight stenosis) extended on the cardia with megaesophagus upstream. We performed a cardiomyotomy according to Heller associated with a hemivalve according to Toupet. We performed a followed by preesophageal and subhepatic drainage. The postoperative course was simple, marked by a resumption of food on D6 postoperatively. The control test carried out with gastrographine 10 days after the surgical intervention noted a regression of the signs with passage of the product of contrast in the small intestine. The patient seen again 6 months after the operation showed no particularities. Conclusion: Achalasia is a chronic esophageal motility disorder characterized by the inability of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax. Heller cardiomyotomy by laparotomy associated with Toupet-type fundoplication retains its place in its management in our exercise context.

Book Review - From Shelters To Dwelling: The Zaatari Refugee Camp by Ayham Dalal, 2022
Authors: Zibar Layla
Published: July 2023

Ayham Dalal offers us a spatial repertoire on the radicality of the ‘housing’ question regarding refugees and their built environments. By focusing on the ‘tension between the shelter and the dwelling’, this book offers an exceptional reading of the imposed temporary materiality of the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. Dalal introduces ‘dwelling’ as a spatial practice, highlighting refugees' spatial agency in resisting and subverting the idea of liminality and, as Malaki (1992) proposes, falling outside the ‘natural order of things’. Through detailed case studies and visual representation, this book brings to the fore the dismantling and reassembling of given temporary structures to describe Syrian refugees' spatial agency in transforming the tent-furnished desert into ‘the third largest city in Jordan’.
Touch Sensing on Semi-Elastic Textiles with Border-Based Sensors
Authors: Zühlke Samuel , Stöckl Andreas , Schedl David
Published: July 2023

This study presents a novel approach for touch sensing using
semi-elastic textile surfaces that does not require the placement of
additional sensors in the sensing area, instead relying on sensors located
on the border of the textile. The proposed approach is demonstrated through
experiments involving an elastic Jersey fabric and a variety of
machine-learning models. The performance of one particular border-based
sensor design is evaluated in depth. By using visual markers, the
best-performing visual sensor arrangement predicts a single touch point with
a mean squared error of 1.36 mm on an area of 125 by 125 mm. We built a
textile-only prototype that is able to classify touch at three indent levels
(0, 15, and 20 mm) with an accuracy of 82.85%. Our results suggest that this
approach has potential applications in wearable technology and smart
textiles, making it a promising avenue for further exploration in these
fields.

Predicting Real Estate Funds: A Comparative Study of Machine Learning and Time Series Methods
Authors: Diniz Henrique , Carneiro Paulo , Silva Fabrício A.
Published: July 2023

This work investigates different strategies for predicting the price variation of Real Estate Investment Funds (FIIs) using machine learning models, in comparison with a traditional time series method. We analyze the performance of the models in terms of fund categories (i.e., paper, brick, or hybrid), model settings (i.e., one model per fund or a general model), and forecast time window (i.e., 6 months or 1 month). An analysis was also carried out considering an enrichment of the data with characteristics of the properties belonging to the funds, which is a pioneering contribution of this work. The results reveal, among other conclusions, that machine learning models outperform the time series technique only for the medium term, and that the information on the properties belonging to the funds was important for improving forecasts.
Multistage, Multiswarm Particle Swarm Optimization for Investment Portfolio Selection
Authors: Dal Molim Thales F. , Souza Francisco Carlos M.
Published: July 2023

This study proposes a new metaheuristic-based approach, identified in the literature as MS2PSO, to solve the problem of investment portfolio selection in the Brazilian stock market. The study was divided into two experiments that evaluated the quality of the solutions obtained by the algorithm and the effectiveness of the recommended portfolios in different time windows and risk profiles. The results indicated that MS2PSO presented slower convergence but offered more satisfactory results compared to PSO. In addition, the portfolios recommended by the proposed method showed positive and negative performances according to the risk profile, and all of them outperformed the benchmark in terms of the overall highest gain obtained during the period. This study contributes to the development of the area of finance and economics by providing a sophisticated and efficient solution for investment portfolio selection.
POE: A General Portfolio Optimization Environment for FinRL
Authors: Costa Caio de Souza Barbosa , Costa Anna Helena Reali
Published: July 2023

Portfolio optimization is a common task in financial markets in which a manager rebalances the invested assets in the portfolio periodically aiming to make a profit, minimize losses and maximize long-term returns. Due to their great adaptability, Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques are considered convenient for this task but, despite RL’s great results, there is a lack of standardization related to simulation environments. In this paper, we present an RL environment for the portfolio optimization problem based on state-of-the-art mathematical formulations. The environment aims to be easy-to-use, very customizable, and have integrations with modern RL frameworks.
Correlation Between Financial Performance Indicators and Capital Structure of Coal Mining Industry Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Yansil Eko Thio Ady , Sumirat Erman Arif , Nainggolan Yunieta Anny
Published: July 2023

This research examines the correlation between capital structure (as proxied by Debt-to-Equity Ratio) and several financial performance indicators, including profitability, asset structure, liquidity, and firm size. This research focuses on 18 coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) by at least 2020. The data is derived from the financial reports published on the IDX between 2020 and 2022. Multiple Linear Regression technique is being employed to determine the correlations. Before employing the Multiple Linear Regression technique, several tests were conducted to examine the data's validity and reliability, including normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity tests. Multiple Linear Regression is employed after the data passes the tests, consisting of partial regression, ANOVA, and goodness-of-fit tests. This research found that profitability and liquidity negatively correlate with capital structure. At the same time, asset structure and firm size positively correlate with capital structure. Overall, the result of this research supports Pecking Order Theory, in which firms are preferred to use internal financing first. When firms generate higher profits and cash flow, they may consider re-balancing external financing. This research also concludes that profitability, asset structure, liquidity, and firm size represent 47.7% of the variables correlated with capital structure. Future research may be conducted to seek other variables that have not been included in this research yet but are correlated with capital structure.
La embargabilidad de la cuenta sueldo como medio para asegurar el cumplimiento de obligaciones impagas en el tercer juzgado de paz letrado de la Corte Superior de Justicia de Ica, año 2019
Authors:   , Andia Jurado Nathaly Rosario , Ramos Delgado Percy Junior
Published: July 2023

En nuestro país el catálogo de derechos es muy amplio, sin embargo, consideramos que dentro de la actividad humana se imponen el derecho al ahorro, al crédito y a la remuneración, todos ellos giran alrededor de relaciones acreedor-deudor pues cada una de ellas genera u origina una obligación entre las partes que la integran. En ese entendido el legislador procuró brindar protección a la remuneración que un trabajador recibe como contraprestación a sus servicios, dotando a esta de un carácter inembargable, en el entendido de que la remuneración asegura la supervivencia no solo del trabajador sino también de su familia. Si bien es cierto ello constituye una loable intención, esta también el derecho de aquel acreedor que, ante la indiferencia del deudor respecto al cumplimiento de su obligación al pago, necesita acudir a instancias judiciales en busca de tutela jurisdiccional efectiva mediante el uso de las diversas herramientas legales a las que este habilitado. Es aquí cuando confluye un tercer punto referido a las cuentas de ahorro que los empleadores utilizan para abonar las remuneraciones de sus trabajadores en las empresas financieras del sistema nacional, las mismas que reciben la denominación de “cuentas sueldo o remuneraciones”, lo que ha traído consigo un debate acerca de si aquellas cuentas tienen o no un carácter remunerativo, pues pese a contar con ese nombre no tienen una calificación legal que así lo disponga, por lo que bien podría tener una doble interpretación: por un lado considerarse como una cuenta de ahorro corriente y por tanto plausible de ser embargada por obligaciones pendientes de pago y, por otro lado, considerarse protegida por la inembargabilidad de las remuneraciones a que hace alusión nuestro ordenamiento procesal civil. Nuestra intención es estudiar la embargabilidad de la cuenta sueldo, para responder por obligaciones incumplidas, específicamente dentro del tercer juzgado de paz letrado de Ica.

Under Coulomb interactions, electrons and holes have a phase transition from a semi-metal state into an excitonic ground state, with a gap spontaneously opening at the Fermi level. The excitonic ground state is called excitonic insulator. The excitonic insulator has attracted extensive attention in condensed matter physics, but the experimental evidence of such a quantum state is still under search. Until recent years, optical spectral and transport evidence of the excitonic insulator has first been observed in shallowly inverted InAs/GaSb quantum wells, which confirms the existence of the exciton insulator in a two-dimensional system. Surprisingly, one-dimensional helical-like topological edge states, which are not sensitive to temperature nor magnetic field, have been observed in the excitonic insulator state by transport measurements. This new quantum phase cannot be well explained by existing single-particle theories, which is called a topological excitonic insulator. In this paper, we systematically review the experimental studies on the topological excitonic insulator in the InAs quantum well and GaAs quantum well, including magneto transport, terahertz transmission, capacitance, and Coulomb drag measurements. These experimental results comprehensively characterize the bulk properties and edge properties of the topological excitonic insulator. Furthermore, as a ground state consisting of bosons, the topological excitonic insulator is expected to have a quantum phase transition into Bose-Einstein condensate with macroscopic coherence under extreme conditions, which provides a new platform for studying the quantum phenomena of Coulomb interactions in low dimensions.
Improvement of critical gradient model and establishment of an energetic particle module for integrated simulation

Based on the critical gradient model , the combination of the TGLFEP code and EPtran code is employed to predict energetic particle (EP) transport induced by Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs). To be consistent with the experimental results, the model was improved recently by taking into consideration the threshold evolution and orbit loss mechanism. The threshold is modified to be the normalized critical gradient ((dn/dr)/(n/a)) instead of the critical gradient (dn/dr), and the new threshold is defined as a function inversely proportional to the EP density as obtained by the TGLFEP code. Additionally, the EP loss cone calculated by ORBIT is added into the EPtran code, which provides an important additional core loss channel for EPs due to finite orbits. With these two improvements, the EP redistribution profiles are found to very well reproduce the experimental profiles of two DIII-D validation cases (#142111 and #153071) with multiple unstable AEs and large-scale EP transport. In addition, a neural network is established to replace TGLFEP for critical gradient calculation, and EPtran code is rewritten with parallel computing. Based on this, a module of EP is established and it is added into the integrated simulation of OMFIT framework. The integrated simulation of HL-3 with AE transported neutral beam EP profile indicates that EP transport reduces the total pressure and current as expected, but under some condition it could also raise the safety factor in the core.

The interaction between non-trivial topological states and the magnetic order of intrinsic magnetic topological insulators gives rise to various exotic physical properties, including the quantum anomalous Hall effect and axion insulator. These materials possess great potential applications in low-power topological spintronic devices and topological quantum computation. Since the first intrinsic magnetic topological insulator, MnBi2Te4, was discovered in 2019, this material system has received significant attention from researchers and sparked a research boom. This paper begins with discussing the fundamental properties of MnBi2Te4 and then turns to important research findings related to this intrinsic magnetic topological insulator. Specifically, it focuses on the quantum anomalous Hall effect, axion insulating state, and Majorana zero energy mode exhibited by the MnBi2Te4 series. Furthermore, this paper highlights other research directions and current challenges associated with this material system. Finally, this paper provides a summary and outlook for future research on MnBi2Te4, aiming to offer valuable references for researchers in related fields.

Because of the difficulty in measuring the cluster isotope displacement and identifying its cause, the resonance dissociation spectra, the moment shift and Zeeman energy shift of isotope cluster 87,85Rbn (n = 1, 2, 3, ··· , 13) are obtained by the combination of optical magnetic resonance and thermal dissociation techniques in this study. The quantitative calculation is carried out based on the conceptual model of the giant atom, and the results are in excellent agreement with the measured results, which shows that rubidium clusters can be analyzed as giant atoms. Furthermore, 5s electron shell level structures of the rubidium cluster 87,85Rbn (n = 1, 2, 3, ··· , 92) are calculated by using Zeeman level interval model. It is found that the main order and step distance of the 5s electron shell structure are similar to those of 3s single electron shell structure of sodium cluster in spherical symmetry. It is confirmed that the structure of the 5s electron shell of the rubidium cluster is determined by the largest energy gap in total Zeeman levels and the characteristic peaks of odd and even alternating and anomalous magnetic moments of special numbers such as n = 2 are caused by the intrinsic properties of electrons and molecular structures. It is also found that 87Rbn level shell structure and 85Rbn level shell structure strictly conform to the ratio of 3/2 magnitude relationship, and that there are abnormal differences in spectral center frequency and broadening, which may be directly related to the 85,87Rb nuclei close to the shell closure.
Representaciones audiovisuales del neoliberalismo salvaje: jefas de cártel y buchonas
Authors:   Université de Montréal / Sorbonne Université - Faculté des Lettres, Pannetier Leboeuf Gabrielle
Published: July 2023

Este artículo estudiará la participación de los personajes femeninos de los videoclips de narcocorridos La dama de la troca colorada (Rossina Silva “La Pa’rribeña”, 2010) y Las plebitas chacalosas (Yasmín Gamboa, 2010), y de la narcopelícula videohome La descarada (Oscar López, 2017) en las dinámicas neoliberales violentas de enriquecimiento salvaje, hiperconsumo, hedonismo y ostentación de lujos a través de las figuras de la jefa narcotraficante y de la buchona. Los estudios de casos abordarán el rol de la jefa y de la buchona en el capitalismo gore (Valencia 2010) a la luz de sus prácticas necropolíticas destructivas del tejido social y del desgaste de su dinero en objetos de consumo, en fiestas y en lujos efímeros que corresponden a una cultura del consumo inmediato de bienes desechables que acelera el proceso de agotamiento de los recursos naturales. Primero, se mostrará cómo algunos de los personajes femeninos del corpus escogido recurren a la hiperviolencia y mercantilizan la muerte para alcanzar sus aspiraciones de acumulación de capital y de ascenso social. Se analizará luego cómo los personajes de buchonas se insertan en relaciones erótico-afectivas transaccionales con narcotraficantes para obtener lujos que contrastan con la precariedad económica generalmente vivida en la frontera.
Narco-é(ste)ticas visuales en reconversión: ¿de la narcocultura a una mirada femenina?
Authors:   Sorbonne Université Faculté des Lettres, Ornelas Ramirez Anaïs
Published: July 2023

¿Cómo han evolucionado las ficciones sobre el narco desde el boom inicial del sub-género? Este artículo interroga el paso, en los productos audiovisuales, de una perspectiva masculina del conflicto, caracterizada por la popularidad de los héroes/villanos, hacia una perspectiva que llamamos femenina y que subraya la importancia de los cuidados ante la violencia del conflicto. Nuestro trabajo se concentra en cuatro largometrajes de ficción que tienen como trasfondo la guerra de las drogas: Vuelven (Issa López 2017), Sin señas particulares (Fernanda Valadez 2020), Noche de fuego (Tatiana Huezo 2021) y La civil (Teodora Mihai 2021). En estas cuatro historias de mujeres, las directoras presentan las desapariciones forzadas como la cristalización de la violencia y la corrupción que se viven en México desde hace varias décadas y la busqueda que realizan los personajes principales se convierte en un periplo iniciático que transforma a las heroínas, extrayéndolas de su situación de subordinación.
Association of Increasing the Minimum Wage in the US With Experiences of Maternal Stressful Life Events
Authors: Rokicki Slawa , Reichman Nancy E. , McGovern Mark E.
Published: July 2023

Importance

Exposure to stressful life events (SLEs) before and during pregnancy is associated with adverse health for pregnant people and their children. Minimum wage policies have the potential to reduce exposure to SLEs among socioeconomically disadvantaged pregnant people.

Objective

To examine the association of increasing the minimum wage with experience of maternal SLEs.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This repeated cross-sectional study included 199 308 individuals who gave birth between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2015, in 39 states that participated in at least 2 years of the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring Survey between 2004 and 2015. Statistical analysis was performed from September 1, 2022, to January 6, 2023.

Exposure

The mean minimum wage in the 2 years prior to the month and year of delivery in an individual’s state of residence.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The main outcomes were number of financial, partner-related, traumatic, and total SLEs in the 12 months before delivery. Individual-level covariates included age, race and ethnicity, marital status, parity, educational level, and birth month. State-level covariates included unemployment, gross state product, uninsurance, poverty, state income supports, political affiliation of governor, and Medicaid eligibility levels. A 2-way fixed-effects analysis was conducted, adjusting for individual and state-level covariates and state-specific time trends.

Results

Of the 199 308 women (mean [SD] age at delivery, 25.7 [6.1] years) in the study, 1.4% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 2.5% were Asian or Pacific Islander, 27.2% were Hispanic, 17.6% were non-Hispanic Black, and 48.8% were non-Hispanic White. A $1 increase in the minimum wage was associated with a reduction in total SLEs (−0.060; 95% CI, −0.095 to −0.024), financial SLEs (−0.032; 95% CI, −0.056 to −0.007), and partner-related SLEs (−0.019; 95% CI, −0.036 to −0.003). When stratifying by race and ethnicity, minimum wage increases were associated with larger reductions in total SLEs for Hispanic women (−0.125; 95% CI, −0.242 to −0.009).

Conclusions and Relevance

In this repeated cross-sectional study of women with a high school education or less across 39 states, an increase in the state-level minimum wage was associated with reductions in experiences of maternal SLEs. Findings support the potential of increasing the minimum wage as a policy for improving maternal well-being among socioeconomically disadvantaged pregnant people.

Optoelectronic attributes notwithstanding donor–acceptor covalent organic frameworks (D–A COFs) are not durable photocatalysts in many cases. Herein, a stabilization strategy of D–A COFs by intramolecular hydrogen (H)‐bonds and a membrane‐based mass transfer strategy for photocatalytic modulation are reported. The crystalline stability design of COF is cored at the strong π–π interactions and the H‐bonds of adjacent tetrakis(4‐formylphenyl)pyrene and naphthalenediimide units and the D–A charge transfer is designed for efficiency optimization. The well‐defined, stable structure and charge dynamics of D–A COF, and the structure‐controlled reactive oxygen species yields are confirmed. In two photoredox models, the COF presents both robust activity and stability and is further integrated with the mass transfer optimization of the COFs/polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. The membrane is recycled at least 15 times, and the turnover frequency value of g‐scale amine coupling is as high as 62.4 h−1. This work offers a facile approach to the stabilization design of D–A COFs and explores a general membrane‐based mass transfer strategy for photocatalysis.

Inorganic metal halide perovskites such as CsPbI3 are promising for high‐performance, reproducible, and robust solar cells. However, inorganic perovskites are sensitive to humidity, which causes the transformation from the black phase to the yellow δ, non‐perovskite phase. Such phase instability has been a significant challenge to long‐term operational stability. Here, a surface dimensionality reduction strategy is reported, using 2‐(4‐aminophenyl)ethylamine cation to construct a Dion–Jacobson 2D phase that covers the surface of the 3D inorganic perovskite structure. The Dion–Jacobson layer mainly grows at the grain boundaries of the perovskite, effectively passivating surface defects and providing favourable interfacial charge transfer. The resulting inorganic perovskite films exhibit excellent humidity resistance when submerged in an aqueous solution (isopropanol:water = 4:1 v/v) and exposed to a 50% humidity air atmosphere. The Dion–Jacobson 2D/3D inorganic perovskite solar cell (PSC) achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.5% with a Voc of 1.197 eV. It retains 83% of its initial PCE after 1260 h of maximum power point tracking under 1.2 sun illumination. The work demonstrates an effective way for stabilizing efficient inorganic perovskite solar cells.

Published: July 2023

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) production in the semiarid northern Great Plains of the United States has increased dramatically over the past two decades. Lentil in rotation provides agroecosystem benefits of more efficient water use, pest cycle disruption, and biological nitrogen (N) fixation. Increasing N fixation could alleviate soil acidification and groundwater impairment, decrease N fertilizer costs, and increase lentil seed yield. Despite widespread farmer adoption of lentil in the region, little is known about the benefits of fertilizer or inoculant type on N fixation. The aim of this study was to determine how nutrients (potassium (K), sulfur (S), and foliar‐applied micronutrients) and rhizobial inoculant types (seed‐coat powder and granular) influence N fixation of lentil. The study was conducted at two field sites in Montana from 2019 to 2021. Fixed N amounts were calculated using both an N difference approach and 15N natural abundance method. N fixation was highly responsive to climatic conditions and soil characteristics. The amount of N fixed did not respond to K fertilization, likely because soil test K levels were sufficient. In a moderately dry year at a site with low soil sulfate‐S, fertilizer application of 5.6 kg S ha−1 increased N fixed by 40%. Inoculated lentil fixed more N than uninoculated lentil in two site‐years, but there were no differences in N fixed between inoculant types. Inoculation response was not related to field cropping histories with legumes. The study shows that S fertilization and rhizobial inoculation have potential to increase lentil N fixation amounts in the northern Great Plains.

The optimal duration of lenalidomide (Len) maintenance for patients with multiple myeloma (MM) after autologous stem cell transplantation (autoHCT) is unknown. We conducted a retrospective single‐center analysis of adult MM patients that received upfront autoHCT between 2005 and 2021, followed by single‐agent Len maintenance. A total of 1167 patients were included with a median age of 61.4 (range 25.4–82.3) years, and high‐risk chromosomal abnormalities in 19%. Median duration of maintenance was 22.3 (range 0.03–139.6) months. After a median follow‐up of 47.9 (range 2.9–171.7) months, median PFS and OS for the entire cohort were 56.6 (95% CI 48.2–61.4) months and 111.3 (95% CI 101.7–121.5) months, respectively. In MVA, high‐risk cytogenetics was associated with a worse PFS (HR 1.91) and OS (HR 1.73) (p < .001 for both). Use of KRD induction and achievement of MRD‐negative ≥ VGPR before autoHCT were associated with an improved PFS (HR 0.53 and HR 0.57, respectively; p < .001 for both). Longer maintenance duration, even with a 5‐year cutoff, was associated with superior PFS and OS (HR 0.17 and 0.12, respectively; p < .001 for both). A total of 106 patients (9%) developed a second primary malignancy (SPM), mostly solid tumors (39%) and myeloid malignancies (30%). Longer maintenance duration was associated with a higher risk of SPM, reaching statistical significance after >2 years (odds ratio 2.25; p < .001). In conclusion, outcomes with Len maintenance were comparable to those reported in large clinical trials. Longer duration of maintenance, even beyond 5 years, was associated with improved survival.

Mitogen‐activated protein kinase 8‐interacting protein 3 gene (MAPK8IP3) encodes the c‐Jun‐amino‐terminal kinase‐interacting protein 3 (JIP3) and is involved in retrograde axonal transport. Heterozygous de novo pathogenic variants in MAPK8IP3 result in a neurodevelopmental disorder with or without brain abnormalities and possible axonal peripheral neuropathy. Whole‐exome sequencing was performed on an individual presenting with severe congenital muscle hypotonia of neuronal origin mimicking lethal spinal muscular atrophy. Compound heterozygous rare variants (a splice and a missense) were detected in MAPK8IP3, inherited from the healthy parents. Western blot analysis in a muscle biopsy sample showed a more than 60% decrease in JIP3 expression. Here, we suggest a novel autosomal recessive phenotype of a lower motor neuron disease caused by JIP3 deficiency.

Objective

To evaluate the contribution of postnasal drip (PND) and chronic cough (CC) to symptoms of patients with chronic rhinitis treated with temperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN), and correlate PND and CC scores with components of the reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS).

Methods

Pooled data from three prospective studies: two single‐arm studies and the index active treatment arm of a randomized controlled trial. Adult patients with baseline rTNSS ≥6 were treated with TCRF neurolysis at nonoverlapping regions of the PNN. PND and CC symptoms were evaluated on a 0 (none) to 3 (severe) scale.

Results

Data from 228 patients (57.9% women, 42.1% men) were included. The mean baseline rTNSS was 8.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.8–8.3), which decreased to 3.2 (95% CI, 2.9–3.5) at 6 months. At baseline, 97.4% of patients had PND and 80.3% had CC. Median baseline PND and CC symptom scores were 3 (interquartile range [IQR], 2–3) and 2 (IQR, 1–2), respectively. At 6 months, this decreased to 1 (IQR, 0–2) and 0 (IQR, 0–1), respectively, showing significant improvement from baseline (both p < 0.001). Spearman correlation coefficients with components of rTNSS (rhinorrhea, congestion, itching, sneezing) were 0.16 to 0.22 for CC and 0.19 to 0.46 for PND, indicating only a weak to moderate correlation.

Conclusion

PND and CC contribute to the symptomatology of chronic rhinitis and are significantly improved after TCRF neurolysis of the PNN. The inclusion of PND and CC symptoms in a chronic rhinitis assessment instrument could provide important additional information for the characterization of the disease state and outcomes after any therapeutic treatment.

Aim

Although the obesity paradox is known for various diseases, including cancer and acute respiratory distress syndrome, little is known about veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and prognosis in critical patients with COVID‐19 requiring VV‐ECMO.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective observational single‐center study at Yokohama City University Civic General Medical Center between March 2020 and October 2021. Participants were patients with COVID‐19 who required VV‐ECMO. They were classified into two groups: BMI ≤30 kg/m2 and >30 kg/m2.

Results

In total, 23 patients were included in the analysis, with a median BMI of 28.7 kg/m2. Overall, 22 patients were successfully weaned from the ECMO. When comparing the two groups, there was a trend toward fewer days from onset to ECMO induction in the BMI >30 kg/m2 group. Moreover, the two groups had a similar prognosis. There were no statistically significant differences in the number of days from onset to hospitalization or the duration of ECMO induction between the groups.

Conclusion

VV‐ECMO induction for patients with COVID‐19 may lead to earlier indications in patients with BMI >30 kg/m2 than in those with BMI ≤30 kg/m2.
Enhanced Spatial Charge Separation in a Niobium and Tantalum Nitride Core‐Shell Photoanode: In Situ Interface Bonding for Efficient Solar Water Splitting

Tantalum nitride (Ta3N5) has emerged as a promising photoanode material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the inefficient electron‐hole separation remains a bottleneck that impedes its solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion efficiency. Herein, we demonstrate that a core–shell nanoarray photoanode of NbNx‐nanorod@Ta3N5 ultrathin layer enhances light harvesting and forms a spatial charge‐transfer channel, which leads to the efficient generation and extraction of charge carriers. Consequently, an impressive photocurrent density of 7 mA cm−2 at 1.23 VRHE is obtained with an ultrathin Ta3N5 shell thickness of less than 30 nm, accompanied by excellent stability and a low onset potential (0.46 VRHE). Mechanistic studies reveal the enhanced performance is attributed to the high‐conductivity NbNx core, high‐crystalline Ta3N5 mono‐grain shell, and the intimate Ta−N−Nb interface bonds, which accelerate the charge‐separation capability of the core–shell photoanode. This study demonstrates the key roles of nanostructure design in improving the efficiency of PEC devices.
