La réalité des sexes : une dimension incontournable de la condition humaine
Authors: Jean Rhéa
Published: April 2023

Le présent article se propose de montrer les impasses de l’idéologie de l’identité de genre. En puisant dans la philosophie du langage et la phénoménologie husserlienne, il s’agit d’abord de montrer que cette idéologie crée une confusion par rapport à la manière dont nous désignons intersubjectivement le monde commun à travers les mots que nous utilisons. Il s’agit également d’affirmer qu’en amenant la population à adhérer à sa novlangue, cette idéologie modifie notre compréhension commune des mots « femme » et « homme » et mine les droits sexospécifiques des femmes. En se référant, entre autres, aux philosophes Kathleen Stock et Sylviane Agacinski, le propos met l’accent sur le primat du corps par rapport aux normes sociales. Enfin, l’article vise à sensibiliser le lecteur à des dérives telles qu’une médicalisation (affectant les mineurs) basée sur une identité subjective ainsi qu’une atteinte à la liberté d’expression des personnes critiquant cette idéologie.
Undoing Butler. Essai sur la théorie du genre
Authors: Dagenais Daniel
Published: April 2023

Cet article se saisit de l’oeuvre de Judith Butler pour interpréter la signification sociologique de la théorie du genre. La première partie est consacrée à présenter le réseau des concepts butlériens et à en expliciter les principales articulations. L’absence de fondement phénoménologique et historique et la visée purement déconstructiviste de la pensée de Butler ressortent de cette première approche. La deuxième partie s’attarde à montrer à quel point Butler méconnaît la modernité spécifique de l’idée d’assomption du genre, pourtant centrale chez elle. On passe alors à une critique épistémologique et sociohistorique de ses catégories. La troisième partie, en s’écartant du commentaire de Butler, entend montrer que l’épuisement de la dialectique moderne de subjectivisation du genre fournit sa condition de possibilité à la théorie du genre en ayant réalisé la possibilité de se débarrasser des sexes. Dans cette perspective, la théorie du genre apparaît comme la poursuite inconsciente, dans les deux sens du terme, de la logique d’abstraction moderne, en convergence avec un possible arraisonnement technologique du vivant.
Valeur et langage chez Marx
Authors: Duhaime Éric N.
Published: April 2023

Depuis la parution du Capital en 1867, le concept de valeur a fait couler beaucoup d’encre. Plusieurs interprétations distinctes et opposées ont été proposées pour éclairer la signification de ce concept central à la théorie de Marx, certains soutenant même que la valeur revêtirait deux significations contradictoires et irréconciliables dans son oeuvre, étant présentée tantôt comme une substance, tantôt comme une médiation. Cet article vise à éclairer le concept de valeur chez Marx, mais en abordant cette question de façon indirecte, c’est-à-dire à partir du statut ambigu que revêt le langage dans son oeuvre. D’abord, nous montrerons que la façon dont Marx conçoit l’activité de production, comme activité sociale et historique, permet d’arrimer celle-ci à une théorie plus générale qui tient compte du symbolique. Ensuite, en abordant quelques thèses centrales de la théorie du symbolique de Michel Freitag, nous montrerons que le langage permet d’élucider un point central de la spécificité de l’activité humaine telle que dépeinte par Marx. Enfin, nous montrerons que la valeur se situe au croisement de la production et du langage, en ce qu’elle constitue pour Marx à la fois une catégorie abstraite et une médiation sociale concrète.
Note critique – Underground philosophy. Une présentation de la pensée anarchéologique de Jean Vioulac
Authors: Rappin Baptiste
Published: April 2023

Le philosophe français Jean Vioulac fait figure de météorite dans l’espace de la pensée contemporaine. Non seulement parce qu’il n’occupe aucune position institu-tionnelle universitaire, mais surtout parce qu’il propose à ses lecteurs une théorisation vertigineuse de notre monde capitaliste et industriel, dont la compréhension est enracinée dans une stimulante interprétation de l’histoire de la civilisation occiden-tale et même de l’humanité. Nous nous proposons, dans cet article, de présenter une première synthèse – nécessairement incomplète – de cette oeuvre à la fois massive, profonde et décisive.
“Aquel mágico efecto”. Matías Laviña y las vidrieras de la catedral de León
Authors: Zaparaín Yáñez María José
Published: April 2023

Las vidrieras del siglo XIX son un fiel reflejo de la mentalidad y los gustos de un momento de profundos cambios en Europa que propició la recuperación de un arte casi olvidado. España tardó en sumarse a esta dinámica y los inicios de la restauración de la catedral de León constituyen un elocuente testimonio de las limitaciones que había a este respecto. Las propuestas de su restaurador, Matías Laviña, denotan su interés hacia este arte y su preferencia por una vidriera de carácter pictórico cuya perfección pensaba lograr interviniendo, a modo de banco de pruebas, en las obras conservadas.

La comèdia hagiogràfica del «Siglo de Oro» reescrita en català: nous problemes textuals al teatre d’Albert Borguny
Authors: Gilabert Gaston
Published: April 2023

Les comèdies hagiogràfiques de filiació barroca escrites a Mallorca durant el segle XVIII han rebut poca atenció crítica i sovint amb edicions que necessiten ser actualitzades a la llum dels nous avenços en la matèria. En aquest estudi s’analitza la Comèdia gloriosa del famós sant Caietano, escrita per Albert Borguny a partir de l’edició de Ramon Díaz i Villalonga (1997), tenint en consideració el seu aparat de variants, les divergències entre manuscrits i, sobretot, el vincle amb la comèdia castellana anterior: Vida y muerte de san Cayetano. Havent localitzat prèviament tots els exemplars de tots els testimonis de la font castellana, hem analitzat llurs loci critici a la llum del text en català i hem acarat les versions per solucionar lliçons fosques transmeses pels manuscrits que contenen l’obra dramàtica de Borguny. Aquestes operacions revelen trets plenament originals de l’escriptor mallorquí, a més d’un conjunt de noves dades que omplen diverses llacunes crítiques i que, en definitiva, permeten revisar i restaurar una peça singular del patrimoni teatral antic en llengua catalana.
«Museu zoològic» i «Bestiari» de Josep Carner: una aproximació ecocrítica
Authors: Pujol Valls Maria
Published: April 2023

L’anàlisi ecocrítica de les diferents edicions dels bestiaris de Josep Carner Museu zoològic (1963 i 1998) i Bestiari (1964 i 1998) serveix per conèixer el missatge que el text i les il·lustracions transmeten. La conscienciació de les últimes dècades per un planeta més sostenible fa pensar que les imatges de les edicions més recents ajudaran els joves lectors a prendre consciència de la relació que els humans han d’establir amb el medi ambient. Així, es podrà detectar si la poesia infantil actual transmet un concepte de natura respectuós amb l’ecosistema, i també la influència que els paratextos poden exercir sobre el text.
L’eina emprada en l’estudi és la matriu NatCult, dissenyada pel grup de recerca Nature in Children’s Literature and Culture de la Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. Aquesta matriu té en compte l’antropocentrisme i el biocentrisme des dels quals es concep la literatura infantil, així com la celebració o problematització de la natura que transmet. El corpus seleccionat se cenyeix en els poemes sobre ases i mussols perquè són animals molt representats en bestiaris infantils catalans i la seva simbologia és fàcil d’identificar.

LA FISCALITAT DELS CEREALS A L’HORTA DE VALÈNCIA DURANT EL SEGLE XV
Authors: Mota Daza Julián
Published: April 2023

El present estudi ha tractat de plasmar, mitjançant l'anàlisi de fonts documentals arxivístiques, com el pa, aliment bàsic en totes les cases de la València medieval, va influir de manera determinant en la salut de les finances del Patrimoni Reial dels monarques de la Corona d'Aragó al segle XV, fins al punt d'esdevindre clau per al bon funcionament econòmic del Regne. Per a tal efecte, hem centrat l'anàlisi en aquelles rendes recaptades pel Batlle General de València directament relacionades amb els cereals: el terç-delme del pa, l'almodí i l'alfòndec.

Sparse dimensionality reduction approaches in Mendelian randomisation with highly correlated exposures
Authors: Karageorgiou Vasileios , Gill Dipender , Bowden Jack , Zuber Verena
Published: April 2023

Multivariable Mendelian randomisation (MVMR) is an instrumental variable technique that generalises the MR framework for multiple exposures. Framed as a regression problem, it is subject to the pitfall of multicollinearity. The bias and efficiency of MVMR estimates thus depends heavily on the correlation of exposures. Dimensionality reduction techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) provide transformations of all the included variables that are effectively uncorrelated. We propose the use of sparse PCA (sPCA) algorithms that create principal components of subsets of the exposures with the aim of providing more interpretable and reliable MR estimates. The approach consists of three steps. We first apply a sparse dimension reduction method and transform the variant-exposure summary statistics to principal components. We then choose a subset of the principal components based on data-driven cutoffs, and estimate their strength as instruments with an adjusted F-statistic. Finally, we perform MR with these transformed exposures. This pipeline is demonstrated in a simulation study of highly correlated exposures and an applied example using summary data from a genome-wide association study of 97 highly correlated lipid metabolites. As a positive control, we tested the causal associations of the transformed exposures on coronary heart disease (CHD). Compared to the conventional inverse-variance weighted MVMR method and a weak instrument robust MVMR method (MR GRAPPLE), sparse component analysis achieved a superior balance of sparsity and biologically insightful grouping of the lipid traits.
Functional cell types in the mouse superior colliculus
Authors: Li Ya-tang , Meister Markus
Published: April 2023

The superior colliculus (SC) represents a major visual processing station in the mammalian brain that receives input from many types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). How many parallel channels exist in the SC, and what information does each encode? Here, we recorded from mouse superficial SC neurons under a battery of visual stimuli including those used for classification of RGCs. An unsupervised clustering algorithm identified 24 functional types based on their visual responses. They fall into two groups: one that responds similarly to RGCs and another with more diverse and specialized stimulus selectivity. The second group is dominant at greater depths, consistent with a vertical progression of signal processing in the SC. Cells of the same functional type tend to cluster near each other in anatomical space. Compared to the retina, the visual representation in the SC has lower dimensionality, consistent with a sifting process along the visual pathway.
Microtubule-mediated GLUT4 trafficking is disrupted in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle

Published: April 2023

Microtubules serve as tracks for long-range intracellular trafficking of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), but the role of this process in skeletal muscle and insulin resistance is unclear. Here, we used fixed and live-cell imaging to study microtubule-based GLUT4 trafficking in human and mouse muscle fibers and L6 rat muscle cells. We found GLUT4 localized on the microtubules in mouse and human muscle fibers. Pharmacological microtubule disruption using Nocodazole (Noco) prevented long-range GLUT4 trafficking and depleted GLUT4-enriched structures at microtubule nucleation sites in a fully reversible manner. Using a perifused muscle-on-a-chip system to enable real-time glucose uptake measurements in isolated mouse skeletal muscle fibers, we observed that Noco maximally disrupted the microtubule network after 5 min without affecting insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. In contrast, a 2-hr Noco treatment markedly decreased insulin responsiveness of glucose uptake. Insulin resistance in mouse muscle fibers induced either in vitro by C2 ceramides or in vivo by diet-induced obesity, impaired microtubule-based GLUT4 trafficking. Transient knockdown of the microtubule motor protein kinesin-1 protein KIF5B in L6 muscle cells reduced insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation while pharmacological kinesin-1 inhibition in incubated mouse muscles strongly impaired insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Thus, in adult skeletal muscle fibers, the microtubule network is essential for intramyocellular GLUT4 movement, likely functioning to maintain an insulin-responsive cell surface recruitable GLUT4 pool via kinesin-1-mediated trafficking.

Characteristics of Neurovascular Injury Associated with Tendon Injury of Hand: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Basu Sandip , Kumar Sanjay
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Normal function of a hand depends much on the integrity of its anatomical structures. Musculotendinous injuries of the hand are frequently associated with neurovascular injury. Repair or reconstruction of all structures is important for optimal restoration of hand function. Aim: To determine the characteristics of neurovascular injury associated with musculotendinous injuries of the hand. Materials and Methods: The present study was a retrospective observational study conducted in the trauma care centre of a tertiary care teaching hospital from September 2020 to August 2021. Patients sustaining acute tendon injury of the hand of all age group and both sexes were included (n=38). Various epidemiological data like age, sex, occupation etc., and clinical and operative findings were collected and were analysed. Descriptive statistics were used and results were expressed in terms of frequency and percentages. Results: The mean age of the study population was 24 years with male patients being 30 and female patients was eight. As far as side of involvement was concerned, 17 (44.7%) patients had left-side of injury and 21 (55.3%) patients had right-side of injury. Majority of the patients, 27 (71.1%) sustained flexor Zone V injury. As to the neurovascular involvement, isolated median nerve, i.e., 10 (41.7%) and radial artery i.e., 8 (44.4%) injuries were more common. Conclusion: Neurovascular injuries associated with tendon injury of the hand is common finding. Prior knowledge of their presence and association with specific tendon injuries are beneficial for their identification and management, which ultimately leads to optimal restoration of hand function.

Authors: Harish B. K. , Pandey R. K. , Shah Ali Haidar , Singh Arvinder , Laishram Nomita , Dogra Sheetal
Published: April 2023

An open field experiment was conducted during 2019-20 at the Experimental Farm, Division of Vegetable Science & Floriculture, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu, to evaluate the effect of micronutrients on growth, flowering and yield of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) cv. ‘Nova Lux’. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and nineteen treatments. The different micro-nutrient like Fe, Zn and Mn was taken in different concentrations along with control. The results revealed that maximum plant height (97.74 cm), number of leaves per plant (9.04), leaf length (74.36 cm) and leaf area index (4.14) was recorded with the application of ZnSO4 at 0.2 % and FeSO4 at 0.2 %. Further, among the flowering traits, minimum duration for days taken for 1st floret opening, the maximum spike length (81.86 cm), rachis length (56.76 cm), number of florets per spike 917.69) and weight of the spike (74.78 g) was recorded with the application of ZnSO4 at 0.2 % and FeSO4 at 0.2 %. Thus, foliar application of micronutrients i,e. ZnSO4 at 0.2 % and FeSO4 at 0.2 % proved to be most effective in increasing the growth, flowering and corm production in gladiolus.

Published: April 2023

This provides the basic information necessary to create functional soil classification schemes and assess soil fertility in order to unravel some unique soil problems in an ecosystem. Mirzapur district is situated in the southern part of Uttar Pradesh and is located between 25.8° N to 25.15° N latitude and 82.34° E to 82.58° E longitude covering an area of 4952.5 km2. The soils of the study region comprised of alluvial soil representing Entisol and soils which are formed on granitic parent material representing Alfisols. The coupling of soil characterization, soil classification and soil mapping provides a powerful resource for the benefit of mankind especially in the area of food security and environmental sustainability. Among the cationic micronutrients, Zn content varied between 1-3 ppm in the Mirzapur soil profile. Copper content varied between 1-7 ppm in Jamalpur, 1-4 ppm in Narayanpur. The available Cu content is categorized as sufficient if it is > 0.2 ppm. Available iron content varied between 2-40 ppm in Jamalpur soil profile and 8-63 ppm in the Narayanpur soil profile. Available Mn content varied between 2-40 ppm in Jamalpur, 5-18 ppm in Narayanpur. Soils are generally categorized as having enough manganese in the DTPA extractable Mn content is > 0.2 ppm. Hence all soils of Jamalpur and Narayanpur had sufficient available soil manganese.

Published: April 2023

Bivalves play a significant role in providing food for humans. The bivalve, Paratapes undulatus (Born 1778) living in the Da Nang estuary in central Vietnam has been used as a live food for many years. Based on the results of the field survey in 2021-2022, this study has clarified the ecological and environmental properties of the studied area for ecological zoning of the distribution of this species. The results show that the bottom water and sediments in the Da Nang estuaries were suitable for the distribution and development of undulate venus clam. Moreover, the influence of river discharge in the rainy season has limited the distribution of clams in the river and mount areas compared to others. Clams were not found distributed in sandy or muddy areas, they were observed in areas with sand/mud deposits. This article also showed the clam stock in the studied areas however, size of scallops at the time of the study was smaller than the first mature size, so for sustainable exploitation, there should be mandatory policies on the season and harvest size as well.
Severe Keratoconus: Watch Out for Complications!

Published: April 2023

Keratoconus is an evolving condition. The speed and severity of the course differs from patient to patient. We report the clinical observation of a 36-year-old patient with a history of severe atopy and who presents a neglected bilateral keratoconus. The clinical examination found sign of Munson Rizzuti, the corneal protrusion being more marked in the left eye. Biomicroscopic examination revealed corneal opacity in the central right eye with marked corneal protrusion and thinning. In the right eye, there was stromal corneal opacity with neovascularization, superficial and deep scar lines, epithelial microcystic edema and an intrastromal cyst. This finding correspond to anterior segment OCT Sandali stage 4 in both eyes. Penetrating keratoplasty was proposed to the patient for treatment. Subconjunctival injections of 2.5 mg bevacizumab were also undertaken at 1 month intervals. The advent of modern imaging techniques has enabled early diagnosis of keratoconus as well as its monitoring and screening for complications. New classifications aim to stage the pathology and to better codify the management. The most serious complication is the occurrence of corneal hydrops. Adequate management of the latter avoids complications including fibrosis and neovascularization, which improves the prognosis of a subsequent keratoplasty which remains the last resort in these patients.

Este artigo tem como propósito apresentar e discutir a improvisação nos jogos afrodiaspóricos que se desenvolveram como defesa pessoal e ou como práticas performativas desde o final do século XIX. Após apresentação e delimitação do campo investigado a partir dos Estudos da Performance (SCHECHNER, 2006)  e de literatura específica sobre os jogos experienciados no e pelo corpo, apresento reflexões sobre modos improvisacionais nos jogos da Capoeira no Brasil e na Arte de Esgrima de Machete y Bordón na Colômbia, a partir de uma “motriz cultural” (LIGIÉRO, 2019) investigada nestes dois jogos: a malícia. A análise privilegia os estados de jogo (SCHECHNER, 2006), dando a ver como estes estados constroem as corporeidades tecidas diretamente na relação com os territórios afrodiaspóricos que estão inseridos. Mediante a expressiva interface entre a Dança Cênica ocidental e Marcialidade oriental que marcaram a história da Dança, a pergunta que conduz a escrita deste artigo é: O que o campo da improvisação em dança pode aprender com as corporeidades afrodiaspóricas e suas performances culturais?

SABER-IMPROVISAÇÃO
Authors: Pimenta Verônica Teodora
Published: April 2023

Este artigo apresenta a noção de saber-improvisação a partir do conceito de saber sentido em Hissa e Ribeiro (2017) e definindo-o como instância de cognição inventiva conforme Kastrup (1997). A metodologia é formada por revisão bibliográfica e pelo estudo crítico-interpretativo de entrevistas concedidas pelas artistas da dança Dudude (2020) e Margô Assis (2020) e pelo artista Tuca Pinheiro (2020). Destaco como elementos que configuram o saber-improvisação o desenvolvimento de: a) combinados assumidos na atuação cênica com a improvisação, em roteiros e na criação da dança, b) dramaturgias e treinamentos singulares compartilhados com comunidades de dança; c) investigações significadas como agir em copresença e também como exercício de relativização de expectativas no instante de composição da dança.
Palavras-chave: saber-improvisação, invenção, problematização, cognição.

Assessment of Accuracy, User Engagement, and Themes of Eating Disorder Content in Social Media Short Videos
Authors: Lookingbill Valerie , Mohammadi Ehsan , Cai Yizhou
Published: April 2023

Importance

Social media is simultaneously home to communities of users who promote eating disorders as a lifestyle and users who advocate for recovery. As studies have confirmed an association between exposure to pro–eating disorder content and engaging in disordered eating behaviors, an examination of the accuracy of and interactions with information shared in these complex and contradictory communities can provide insights into content available to users at risk.

Objective

To determine the associations among themes, accuracy of information, and user engagement of eating disorder content on a short video–sharing social media platform.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This qualitative study included a thematic analysis of a sample of 200 TikTok videos, as well as user engagement metrics and content creator characteristics, between February and June 2022. Data were analyzed from March to June 2022.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Content themes, accuracy of information, user engagement, and the associations among these factors were identified in a sample of eating disorder videos on a social media platform. Data were analyzed with Pearson χ2, analysis of variance, linear regression, and random permutation tests.

Results

Among the 200 videos assessed, 124 (62.0%) covered prorecovery content, 59 (29.5%) included pro–eating disorder content, and 17 (8.5%) contained anti–eating disorder content. Thematic analysis revealed 4 high-level themes: (1) encouraging the development or sustainment of eating disorders, (2) sharing physical or emotional experiences with eating disorders, (3) sharing narratives of recovery, and (4) social support. While the results of Pearson χ2 test indicated that videos in the prorecovery domain contained more accurate content than videos categorized in the pro–eating disorder and anti–eating disorder domains (χ24 = 157.92; P < .001), the results of analysis of variance demonstrated that there was no significant difference in user engagement between informative and misleading content (likes: F = 0.110; P = .95; comments: F = 2.031; P = .13; views: F = 0.534; P = .59; shares: F = 0.691; P = .50). Results of the 10 000 random permutation tests, in which all P values were between .40 and .60 regardless of the distances, suggested that there was no significant difference in user engagement among the 3 domains.

Conclusions and Relevance

This mixed-methods qualitative analysis of misleading eating disorder information on social media found that pro–eating disorder and prorecovery communities were prevalent. However, social media users in the prorecovery community created more informative than misleading content. Furthermore, the study found no significant difference between users’ engagement with accurate vs misleading videos, which may suggest that false information alone does not influence the virality of videos.

Co‐designing conservation interventions through participatory action research in the Indian Trans‐Himalaya

Community‐based conservation, despite being more inclusive than fortress conservation, has been criticized for being a top‐down implementation of external ideas brought to local communities for conservation's benefit. This is particularly true for Changpas, the pastoral people of Changthang in trans‐Himalayan India who live alongside unique wildlife.

Our main aim was to co‐design conservation interventions through participatory action research. We worked with two Changpa communities, to understand the issues faced by them. Subsequently, we co‐designed context‐sensitive interventions to facilitate positive human–nature interactions. We did so by integrating the PARTNERS (Presence, Aptness, Respect, Transparency, Empathy, Responsiveness, Strategic Support) principles with the Trinity of Voice (Access, Standing and Influence).

In Rupsho, we facilitated focus group discussions (FGDs) led by the community. We found livestock depredation by wildlife was primarily facilitated by the weather. This led to co‐designing of a new corral design, which was piloted with seven households, safeguarding 2385 pashmina goats and sheep. Approximating the value of each sheep/goat to be USD125, this intervention amounts to a significant economic protection of USD c. 42,500 for each household. This is along with intangible gains of trust, ownership and improved self‐esteem.

In Tegazong, a restricted area adjoining the Indo‐China border with no previous research records, we worked with 43 Changpa people to co‐create research questions of mutual interest. Wildlife presence and reasons for livestock loss were identified as areas of mutual interest. The herders suggested they would record data in a form of their choice, for 6 months, while they live in their winter pastures. This participatory community monitoring revealed nutrition and hypothermia to be a key cause of livestock death. Subsequently, we delimited two previously untested interventions: lamb cribs and provisioning of locally sourced barley as a feed supplement. The wildlife monitoring recorded the first record of Tibetan Gazelle Procapra picticuadata, outside of their known distribution, in Tegazong.

We aim to highlight the benefits of co‐designing projects with local communities that link research and conservation, while also discussing the challenges faced. Ultimately, such projects are needed to ensure ethical knowledge generation and conservation, which aims to be decolonial and inclusive.

Treating bacterial biofilm infections on implanted materials remains challenging in clinical practice, as bacteria can be resistant by weakening the host defense from immune cells like macrophages. Herein, a metal‐piezoelectric hetero‐nanostructure with mechanical energy‐driven antimicrobial property is in situ constructed on the Ti implant. Under ultrasonic irradiation, the formed piezotronic Ti (piezoTi) can promote the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by facilitating local charge transfer at the surface, thus leading to piezodynamic killing of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) while downregulating biofilm‐forming genes. In addition, the stimulated macrophages on piezoTi display potent phagocytosis and anti‐bacterial activity through the activation of PI3K‐AKT and MAPK pathway. As a demonstration, one‐time ultrasound irradiation of piezoTi pillar implanted in an osteomyelitis model efficiently eliminates the S. aureus biofilm infection and rescues the implant with enhanced osteointegration. By the synergistic effect of ultrasound‐driven piezodynamic therapy and immuno‐regulation, the proposed piezoelectric nanostructured surface can endow Ti implants with highly efficient antibacterial performance in an antibiotic‐free, noninvasive, and on‐demand manner.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation. Macrophages accelerate the pathological process of RA through the continuous cell accumulation and secretion of cytokines. Therefore, multiscale visualization of macrophages is of great significance for the early diagnosis of RA. In this work, folate receptor‐targeted Cptnc‐4F nanoprobes, named FA‐CF‐NPs, are developed for dual‐model molecular imaging of macrophages in RA mouse models. FA‐CF‐NPs exhibit complementary imaging advantages with high fluorescence sensitivity and resolution in the second near‐infrared window (NIR‐II) and promising photoacoustic (PA) imaging contrast with deep tissue penetration. The high affinity of the folate ligand on the surface of FA‐CF‐NPs to macrophages with overexpressed folate receptors ensures the specific targeting function of the nanoprobes for imaging in vivo. FA‐CF‐NPs are employed to achieve NIR‐II fluorescence imaging to accurately localize macrophages in the joint, obtaining a high signal‐to‐background ratio (SBR) of 15.5. Meanwhile, PA imaging is also performed to observe macrophage distribution in the longitudinal section of the whole joint. Moreover, macrophage infiltration is detected in the joint of RA mice with the absence of RA pathologies such as synovitis and cartilage loss. The results provide an opportunity for in vivo macrophage tracking and early diagnosis of RA.
Soft, Strong, Tough, and Durable Bio‐Hydrogels Via Maximizing Elastic Entropy

Load‐bearing soft tissues are soft but strong, strong yet tough. These properties can only be replicated in synthetic hydrogels, which do not have the biocomplexity required by many biomedical applications. By contrast, natural hydrogels, although retaining the native complexity, are weak and fragile. Here a thermomechanical casting method is presented to achieve the mechanical capabilities of synthetic materials in biopolymer hydrogels. The thermomechanical cast and chemically crosslinked biopolymer chains form a short‐range disordered but long‐range ordered structure in water. Upon stretch, the disordered structure transforms to a hierarchically ordered structure. This disorder‐order transformation resembles the synergy of the disordered elastin and ordered collagen in load‐bearing soft tissues. As entropy drives a reverse order‐disorder transformation, the hydrogels can resist repeated cycles of loads without deterioration in mechanical properties. Gelatin hydrogels produced by this method combine tissue‐like tunable mechanical properties that outperform the gelatin prepared by synthetic approaches, and in vivo biocomplexity beyond current natural systems. Unlike polymer engineering approaches, which rely on specific crosslinks provided by special polymers, this strategy utilizes the entropy of swollen chains and is generalizable to many other biopolymers. It could thus significantly accelerate translational success of biomaterials.

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are smart materials that are widely used to create intelligent devices because of their high energy density, actuation strain, and biocompatibility characteristics. Given their unique properties, SMAs are found to have significant potential for implementation in many emerging applications in mobile robots, robotic hands, wearable devices, aerospace/automotive components, and biomedical devices. Here, the state–of–the–art of thermal and magnetic SMA actuators in terms of their constituent materials, form, and scaling effects are summarized, including their surface treatments and functionalities. The motion performance of various SMA architectures (wires, springs, smart soft composites, and knitted/woven actuators) is also analyzed. Based on the assessment, current challenges of SMAs that need to be addressed for their practical application are emphasized. Finally, how to advance SMAs by synergistically considering the effects of material, form, and scale is suggested.
