Experimental Study on Emotional Regulation Flexibility in College Students with Social Anxiety
Authors: ZHOU Lu-lu , LIU Hui-min , JIANG Yuan
Published: April 2023

Objective To examine differences in emotional susceptibility,
emotional needs for emotional regulation, and choice and use of
regulatory strategies among college students with different levels of
social anxiety. To provide useful guidance for intervention of anxiety
symptoms dominated by emotional disorders. Methods Using the
experimental method, 256 college students were recruited, and the high
social anxiety group and the low social anxiety group were selected to
conduct the emotional regulation flexibility experiment.
Results The high social anxiety group had a higher
susceptibility to negative emotions, a higher emotional intensity, and a
lower level of control, and they had less flexibility and repertoire in
different situations. Susceptibility to positive emotions significantly
predicted the number of repertoires and total strategies. Emotional
intensity and degree of control significantly predicted regulatory
flexibility. Conclusion People with high social anxiety are
less flexible in their emotional regulation. This is mainly reflected in
the fact that they choose fewer different strategies in controllable
situations, use disengagement strategies regardless of the situation,
and make less effort to retrieve and use regulatory strategies in
different situations. Although social anxious individuals are
significantly more sensitive to negative emotions, positive emotional
sensitivity plays a greater role in the emotional regulation process of
social anxious individuals. Therefore, future research should further
explore the characteristics of social anxious individuals’ positive
emotional cognition and pay attention to the perception of positive
emotions in intervention.

Published: April 2023

Light-assisted N2 fixation to NH3 under mild conditions is attracting
massive attention to circumvent energy crisis and global warming.
Herein, highly dispersed Cs-decorated Ru sub-nanometric clusters
supported on ZrO2 NPs have been prepared by means of MOF-templated
transformation method. The obtained catalyst exhibited N2 hydrogenation
activity of 1.6 mmolNH3 · gcat-1 · h-1 in the dark (350 oC, 0.1 MPa).
Remarkably this value increased by over 300 %, reaching 5.1
mmolNH3·gcat-1·h-1 (204 mmolNH3 · gRu-1 · h-1) under 1 Sun power
illumination (1080 W/m2), with an estimated quantum efficiency of 39 %.
The influence of the incident light wavelength has been evaluated,
revealing 81 % and 213 % enhancement in the NIR and visible region,
respectively. DFT calculations were carried out to understand the static
adsorption states of Ru sub-nanoclusters. Mechanistic studies have
confirmed the co-existence of a photothermal and a nonthermal-hot
electron mechanism. XPS, PXRD and FTIR analysis have determined that the
Cs species block surface Zr4+ acidity, increasing the basicity of the
ZrO2 support. Moreover, partially reduced Cs+
(0<<1) species surrounding the Ru active sites are
donating electron density to the adjacent Ru sites, favoring N2
adsorption. Finally, this photocatalyst has shown an extended stability
for 100 h irradiation under continuous flow.

Abstract: Background: Coronary artery dilation is the main
cause of poor prognosis in children with Kawasaki disease. Whether
eosinophils can predict coronary artery dilation and long-term prognosis
in children after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment for
Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods: From January 2018 to December 2020, a
total of 664 children with Kawasaki disease were continuously enrolled.
Results: With a sensitivity of 77.78% and a specificity of 74.38%, the
optimal cut-off value for predicting coronary artery dilatation is
eosinophils ≥ 0.24. According to the cut-off value, the children were
separated into two groups: eosinophils<0.24 group (n = 461)
and eosinophils ≥ 0.24 group (n = 203). Eosinophils ≥ 0.24 as the ideal
cut-off value for predicting cardiovascular death with an area under the
curve (AUC) of 0.772 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.720
~ 0.823, P < 0.001], a sensitivity of
72.88%, and a specificity of 78.57%. The incidence of cardiovascular
death, heart failure and multiple organ dysfunction was greater in the
eosinophils ≥ 0.24 group, although there was no significant difference
in the incidence of pericarditis procedures following IVIG between the
two groups. Eosinophils ≥ 0.24 was also an independent predictor of
cardiovascular death (hazard ratio = 4.95, 95% confidence interval
(CI):2.98 ~ 8.23, P < 0.001). However,
eosinophils have a lower sensitivity (23.08%) for predicting the
recurrence of Kawasaki disease. Conclusion: eosinophils ≥ 0.24 was
independently associated with coronary artery dilatation and poor
clinical outcomes for children in Kawasaki disease after IVIG treatment.
Key words: eosinophils, coronary artery dilatation, prognosis,
KD, IVIG.
Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion with Intracardiac Echocardiography and Electroanatomic Mapping
Authors: Carlisle Matthew , Jackson Kevin , Thomas Kevin , Daniels Bryan , Piccini Jonathan
Published: April 2023

Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as an important
therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation at risk for stroke who are
not good candidates for long-term oral anticoagulation. Transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) has an important and foundational role in
preprocedural left atrial appendage assessment, intraprocedural guidance
and device deployment, and post-procedural evaluation in follow-up.
Recent studies have evaluated intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) as a
primary intraprocedural imaging modality without the need for TEE. The
use of ICE offers promise of expedited patient care, reduced procedural
complexity, and reduced costs. Observational reports of ICE for LAAO
highlight significant variability in procedural technique, including but
not limited to ICE catheter placement and position as well as the type
and number of intracardiac views. Integration with concomitant
electroanatomic mapping provides additional information to the operator
regarding the orientation of the ICE catheter to the atrial geometry and
can be used to optimize views and avoid perforation. It also allows for
more precise near-field delineation of transseptal access. This review
characterizes a standardized approach for harnessing ICE based off four
anatomic views (aortic, mitral, left superior pulmonary vein, and
inferior). These views optimize the unique vantage points of left atrial
ICE as opposed to attempting to replicate the transesophageal windows.
The focus on complementary and orthogonal angles allows for more precise
device placement and assessment for device positioning and peri-device
leak.
HVRT control strategy for PMSG-based wind turbine with dynamic chopper resistance
Authors: Qin Yanhui , Liu Xiaolin , Yang Zhichao , Gao Bingtuan
Published: April 2023

With the increasing penetration of wind power, wind turbine is required
to have fault ride through capability during grid fault. To improve the
direct current (DC) voltage suppression effect of traditional high
voltage ride through (HVRT) control scheme with regard to chopper
resistance, this paper proposes an HVRT control strategy based on
dynamic chopper resistance calculation method considering surplus active
power, DC voltage limit and reactive current. The simulation results
show that the proposed strategy can suppress the DC voltage increment
more effectively and avoid the trip-off accident of wind turbines by
dynamically adjusting the chopper resistance for the duration of
high-voltage fault.
Intraluminal administration of a carboxymethyl-starch powder for bladder haemorrhage treatment in two adult horses

Published: April 2023

Internal bleeding and mucosal bleeding in hollow organs are uncommon
conditions in equine medicine and endoscopy. Most of the times, they
respond to treatment of the underlying primary condition. However, there
are cases in which a rapid and effective control of blood loss is
required and the animal is not suited for surgery or general
anaesthesia. We report two cases referred to our Veterinary Teaching
Hospital with signs of urinary disease and bladder haemorrhage
identified by cystoscopy which were successfully managed with topical
application of a haemostatic carboxymethyl-starch powder. The product
was applied directly on the bleeding mucosa after bladder emptying
either under endoscopic guidance or blindly, through a urinary catheter.
The application of the haemostatic powder appears to be easy to perform,
safe, and helpful in controlling mucosal bleeding in hollow organs in
the short time, with no adverse reactions noticed. This approach should
be considered in cases where mucosal bleeding can be identified by
endoscopy and a prompt control of blood loss is required, also in the
field.
Shear-driven formation of olivine veins by dehydration of ductile serpentinite: a numerical study with implications for porosity production and transient weakening
Authors: Schmalholz Stefan Markus , Moulas Evangelos , Räss Ludovic , Müntener Othmar
Published: April 2023

Serpentinite subduction and associated dehydration vein formation are
important for subduction zone dynamics and water cycling. Field
observations suggest that en échelon olivine veins in serpentinite
mylonites formed by dehydration during simultaneous shearing of
serpentinite. Here, we test a hypothesis of shear-driven formation of
dehydration veins with a two-dimensional hydro-mechanical-chemical
numerical model. We consider the reaction antigorite + brucite =
forsterite + water. Shearing is viscous and the shear viscosity
decreases with increasing porosity. Total and fluid pressures are
initially homogeneous and in the serpentinite stability field. Initial
perturbations in porosity, and hence viscosity, cause fluid pressure
perturbations during simple shearing. Dehydration nucleates where fluid
pressure decreases locally below the thermodynamic pressure defining the
reaction boundary. During shearing, dehydration veins grow in direction
parallel to the maximum principal stress and serpentinite transforms
into olivine inside the veins. Simulations show that the relation
between compaction length and porosity as well as the ambient pressure
have a strong impact on vein formation, while the orientation of the
initial porosity perturbation and a pressure-insensitive yield stress
have a minor impact. Porosity production associated with dehydration is
controlled by three mechanisms: solid volumetric deformation, solid
density variation and reactive mass transfer. Vein formation is
self-limiting and slows down due to fluid flow decreasing fluid pressure
gradients. We discuss applications to natural olivine veins as well as
implications for slow slip and tremor, transient weakening, anisotropy
generation and the formation of shear-driven high-porosity bands in the
absence of a dehydration reaction.
Are Volatiles from Subducted Ridges on the Pampean Flat Slab Fracking the Crust? Evidence from an Enhanced Seismicity Catalogue
Authors: Maharaj Ariane , Roecker Steven , Alvarado Patricia , Trad Sol , Beck Susan L , Comte Diana
Published: April 2023

Seamounts and ridges are often invoked to explain subduction-related
phenomena, but the extent of their involvement remains controversial. An
analysis of seismicity in the region of the Pampean flat slab through an
application of an automated catalogue generation algorithm resulted in
143,716 local earthquake hypocenters, 35,924 of which are associated
with at least 12 arrival time estimates, at least 3 of which are from S
waves, along with a total of 12,172 focal mechanisms. Several new
features related to the subduction of the Juan Fernandez Ridge were
discovered, including: (1) a series of parallel lineaments of seismicity
in the subducted Nazca plate separated by about 50 km and striking about
20, and (2) a strong spatial correlation between these deeper
(> 80 km depth) regions of intense seismicity and
concentrations of activity in the crust almost directly above it. Focal
mechanisms of the deeper events are almost exclusively normal, while
those in the crust are predominantly reverse. The deeper lineaments
mirror the origination and spacing of several seamount chains seen on
the Nazca plate, suggesting that these patterns are caused by these same
types of features at depth. This would imply that relatively minor
features persist as slab anomalies long after they are subducted. The
correlation of these deeper features with seismicity in the mid to lower
crust suggests a genetic relation between the two. We postulate that
volatiles from the subducted ridges percolate into the South American
crust and induce seismicity essentially by fracking it.
Effects of cataract surgery on short-term intraocular pressure fluctuations in patients with primary angle-closure and primary angle-closure glaucoma
Authors: Markic Bojana , Mavija Milka , Smoljanovic-Skocic Sasa , Burgic Sanela-Sanja
Published: April 2023

Introduction. Cataract surgery results in a reduction of intraocular
pressure, but it has not been sufficiently investigated how it affects
short-term intraocular pressure fluctuations. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the effects of cataract surgery on short-term intraocular pressure
fluctuations in patients with primary angle-closure, with or without
glaucoma. Material and Methods. A prospective interventional clinical study
included 31 patients (eyes) with primary angle-closure/primary angle-closure
glaucoma (study group) and 31 patients (eyes) with cataract only (control
group). All subjects underwent cataract surgery. Preoperatively, and at the
first, third and sixth postoperative months, diurnal tension curves for the
assessment of intraocular pressure was performed and the mean intraocular
pressure and short-term intraocular pressure fluctuations were evaluated.
Results. Postoperatively, the mean intraocular pressure and short-term
intraocular pressure fluctuations were significantly reduced in both groups.
In the study group, the highest mean intraocular pressure reduction was -
4.14 ? 2.50 mmHg, and in the control group it was - 2.44 ? 1.76 mmHg. The
highest reduction of short-term fluctuations was - 1.61 ? 3.55 mmHg in the
study group, and - 0.55 ? 1.72 mmHg in the control group. In both groups, a
significant negative correlation was found between the preoperative and
postoperative mean intraocular pressure and short-term intraocular pressure
fluctuations. At the end of the research, the number of medications was
reduced by 18.4% compared to the preoperative period. Conclusion. Cataract
surgery in patients with primary angle-closure/primary angle-closure
glaucoma results in a significant reduction of intraocular pressure,
short-term intraocular pressure fluctuations, and a reduction in the number
of medications.

Patients with psoriasis are at risk of developing psoriatic arthritis, which can lead to joint damage. While screening questionnaires have been developed, their performance varies. The objective of this study was to develop a referral tool for dermatologists to identify psoriasis patients with concomitant psoriatic arthritis for rheumatological referral. This study used data from the DAPPER study, in which psoriasis patients were screened by a rheumatologist for the presence of concomitant psoriatic arthritis. Multivariable regression analysis was used to identify predictive variables for the presence of concomitant psoriatic arthritis: treatment history with conventional systemic drugs (odds ratio (OR) 2.97, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.01–8.74, p = 0.04), treatment history with biologicals/small molecule inhibitors (OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.52–5.53, p = 0.01), patient-reported history of joint pain not caused by trauma (OR 4.23, 95% CI 1.21–14.79, p = 0.01), patient-reported history of swollen joints (OR 4.25, 95% CI 2.17–8.32, p < 0.001), and patient-reported history of sausage-like swollen digits (OR 2.38, 95% CI 1.25–4.55, p = 0.01). Based on these variables, a referral tool was created with an area under the curve of 0.82. This referral tool could be used to aid dermatologists to identify psoriasis patients with concomitant psoriatic arthritis, who may benefit from rheumatological referral.

The mean duration of surgery, fetus delivery time, bleeding rate, length of hospital admission, and pain intensity after surgery was significantly higher in patients who underwent Pfannenstiel cesarean section, compared to the Joel-Cohen group. Conclusion: Joel-Cohen method is preferable to a method in the cesarean section.
An Analytical Study on the Medical Reports of Rape Survivors in Nepal
Authors: S Pradhan
Published: April 2023

Case reports of rape is increasing in society. Rape adversely affects physical, mental, and social wellbeing. Clinicians are at the forefront for the medical management as well providing medico-legal documentation as per the guidelines protocol imposed by the State. This is a retrospective rape case law study of cases retrieved from the Nepalese Supreme Court website. The medical reports provided were studied on the rape cases claimed and analyzed. 149 rape cases were analyzed for medical report. Only one third of the rape cases had positive findings of rape. However, only physical evidence of violence was noted, mainly on the state of hymen, signs of struggle and the presence or absence of spermatozoa in female genitalia. Age determinations were requested to mitigate the punishment in perpetrator. The significance of mental, behavioral, and social wellbeing in rape victims were completely overlooked in the medical report documentation.

Published: April 2023

Labial fusion or agglutination is a diagnosis of exclusion we come across in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women and sometimes also in young females. Here we highlight a series of cases which had presented with urinary disturbances and turned out to be labial fusion. Labial fusion can be managed conservatively or might require surgical interference which is also quite simple. Hence vaginal examination is a must for women presenting with urinary disturbance to rule out this condition.

Authors: Ling J. , Haoyu L. , Wang Q. , Cheng L.
Published: April 2023

The bearing was a key component of the mining machine tire unloader machine and was subjected to random multiaxial stress during operation. Therefore, the life prediction of bearing was of safety guidance. In this paper, a bearing life prediction method based on the critical plane method under multiaxial random loading was proposed. Firstly, a virtual prototype model was built based on the actual working conditions of the tire unloader machine to obtain the time load history of the bearing. Transient dynamic analysis of the bearing was carried out to obtain the triaxial stress-strain time histories at the hazardous locations of the bearing. A new coordinate system was established using the hazard node as the coordinate origin, and the location of the critical plane was searched for based on the critical plane multiaxial fatigue theory, combined with the maximum shear strain amplitude on the critical plane for multi-axial rain flow cycle counting to obtain the damage amount in each direction. At the same time, the life calculated from the maximum damage amount was used as the final life, resulting in a cycle count of the bearing of 268,303 cycles and a duration of 1490.58h. The results of this study could be used as a guide to predict the service life of the bearing in large machinery subjected to multiaxial random stress conditions.

Published: April 2023

Obtaining enough good and excellent quality embryos is one of the key factors for achieving pregnancy using assisted reproductive technologies. This work was aimed at developing a mathematical model for predicting good and excellent quality embryos based on semen microbiota assessment in normozoospermia. The study included 127 men whose semen was used for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the proportion of good-quality blastocyst developed on the 5th day of culturing (good-quality blastocyst development rate, GBDR). The 1st group included 57 patients with GBDR ≥ 40%, the 2nd group included 70 patients with GBDR < 40%. All patients’ semen was assessed at the day of fertilization. Semen parameters were evaluated in accordance with the WHO standards and semen microbiota composition was determined by means of real-time PCR. Discriminant analysis was used for development of the prognostic model. We developed a method for predicting efficiency of the embryological IVF stage in normozoospermia: EGO-Pro-N prognostic index (Embryos of GOod and Excellent quality Prognosis in Normozoospermia). If the EGO-Pro-N value is greater than 0.212, the probability of receiving GBDR ≥ 40% is low. Conversely, if the EGO-Pro-N value is less than or equal to 0.212, the probability is high. Sensitivity and specificity of the method were 71.9% and 70.0% respectively, accuracy was 70.9%. The developed model allows us to predict good and excellent quality embryos based on comprehensive semen microbiota assessment in normozoospermia before IVF.

Transcendental Sufism Communication in Zikr of the Qadiriyyah Naqsyabandiyyah Tariqa
Authors: Musta'in
Published: April 2023

Qadiriyyyah Naqsyabandiyyah is a popular tariqa in Indonesia. The tariqa became a sufistic communication medium between humans and God. This article aims to identify the sufistic transcendental communication paradigm in religious activity. Transcendental communication is communication between humans and gods with a Sufistic approach. From a sufism perspective, the tariqa is a massive activity in Indonesian Islam. Sufism desires the cleanliness of the human heart (qalb) and mind (aql) in serving Allah. Human servitude to Allah is a feature of sufistic communication that prioritizes total awareness and obedience. Sufistic and transcendental communication have the same dimension and concept: ubudiyah (worship). One form of the massive sufism movement in the world is the Qadiriyyah Naqsyabandiyyah. This tariqa becomes a testament for humans to communicate with Allah through zikr. This type of research is qualitative. Qualitative research explains descriptively and comprehensively the paradigm of sufistic communication in the Qadiriyah Naqsyabandiyya tariqa. Data is obtained through text documentation that presents papers in scientific journals that raise the theme of sufistic communication, sufism, and tariqa. Data analysis of this study used descriptive analysis. The results of this study show that the tariqa prioritizes vertical communication with Allah. Aql and qalb became the basis of sufistic communication. Thus, zikr and prayer practiced in the tariqa (with murshid’s guidance) bring people closer to Allah.

Non–fungible tokens in the structure of Islamic financingl markets
Authors: Babenkova S. Yu.
Published: April 2023

The widespread use of innovative technologies in the Arab countries began relatively recently; the COVID–19 pandemic became a powerful impetus to their promotion. However, the crises experienced by global financial markets have forced investors to look for more «safe havens» for their investments. In this regard, the development of the (non–fungible tokens, hereinafter — NFT) in the last two years has become a relatively safe place to invest.

NFT technologies were originally designed for the world of art, artists, clip makers, people of creative professions and admirers of their creations, but NFT went further and began to become popular in the world of finance becoming one of the instruments for making transactions.

The Arab countries did not stand aside from such innovations actively participating in the development, testing and search for new innovative areas of NFT application. However, you should not forget about the strict rules of Sharia which apply to all types of financial activities. The necessary interconnection and problem points are yet to be analyzed by experts in the future as the market develops but at the same time it is already worth talking about the rapid introduction of NFTs into Islamic finance.

This paper describes “Kalos, eîdos, skopeîn,” an immersive Dhrupad-based dance installation designed to elicit feelings of awe in the spectators, in a real-life artistic context. This study used a mixed-methods approach in order to explore spectators’ awe experience (N=45), using specific scales and interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results suggested that “Kalos, eîdos, skopeîn,” with its combination of nature motifs and the slow dance-walk associated with the Dhrupad music in the choreography, was able to produce awe-related moments in some spectators and inspire a degree of positive emotions. Our qualitative results viewed awe explicitly as a positive emotion and showed that generally the spectator narratives, involving the whole performance, were based on modified states of consciousness. Three themes emerged: the main theme is “A rich experience of modified states of consciousness” involving the whole performance, and two interconnected sub-themes “Captivated by the slowness of the dancers” associated with the slow movement and “I can still hear the mantra in my head” in rapport with Dhrupad music. This study was carried out as part of the Canadian FRQSC/FCI Project (2019-RC2-260306).

Published: April 2023

Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon where a particle appears on the other side of an energy barrier that it does not have enough energy to pass through, according to classical physics. This notion, first proposed by a German physicist in 1927, runs improbably counter to common sense and to rules thought for hundreds of years to govern physics. Acceptance of this and other quantum phenomena has required the reconceptualization of subatomic particles from solid bits of matter to probability clouds that extend infinitely in every direction. As such, quantum physics has required a skepticism driven by the need for sound evidence, rather than based on whether a given idea conformed to culturally common notions of reality. This form of well-tempered skepticism would serve the project of building a psychology of the whole person, and of all persons, in place of versions that reject phenomena based on cultural notions of what is or is not plausible, even in the face of substantive preliminary evidence. Such a skepticism is counterproductive in a way that dismissal of a patient's unexpected healing response could negatively impact the body's self-healing capacities.

Trichoderma is a fungal genus that is widely reported to cause beneficial impacts to crop plants but rarely detriment. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of inoculation of Trichoderma longibrachiatum strain UPMT14 on red leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) under growth room conditions. A culture of UPMT14 was grown on potato dextrose broth to produce inoculum. This liquid inoculum was injected through the stem of red leaf lettuce seedlings 22 days old with five replications, and then plant growth progress was monitored for vegetative responses. Red leaf lettuce plants began to exhibit foliar symptoms on day 36, such as chlorosis, wilt, and drying out, before total collapsed on day 45 in comparison to untreated control red leaf lettuce plants. In conclusion, the wilting incidence in red leaf lettuce was observed after T. longibrachiatum inoculation. Further studies are needed in future to understand the pathogenesis of T. longibrachiatum.

Creating an Enabling Environment for Specialty Alternative Payment Models: A Potential Role for Philanthropy
Authors: Shaughnessy Elizabeth , Goh Lindee , Ang Joel
Published: April 2023

In the ongoing shift from volume to value in US health care, primary care value-based alternative payment models (APMs), such as accountable care orga­nizations, have dominated the landscape when compared to specialty care APMs. Interviews with hundreds of payers and clinicians across various specialties signal that there are ongoing challenges with investing in, designing, and scal­ing specialty APMs, especially for populations covered by commercial insurers. Several critical gaps complicate specialty APMs’ business case for these stake­holders, including uncertain returns on investment, lack of understanding around optimal outcome and performance measures, and data silos. Given the per­sistence of these challenges, which require collaboration between payers and providers on research, transparency, and technical assistance to address, phil­anthropic support may be a helpful and overlooked resource to support a better enabling environment for specialty APMs.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN THE REGULATION OF SYSTEMIC BLOOD PRESSURE

Сердечно сосудистая система должна распределять кислород и питательные вещества по организму, поддерживая соответствующее кровяное давление. Это достигается за счет сочетания центральных и периферических механизмов, которые влияют на сердечный выброс и вазомоторный тонус во всей сосудистой системе. Кроме того, способность предпочтительно направлять кровь к тканям с повышенной метаболической потребностью имеет решающее значение для переносимости физических нагрузок и называется рабочей мышечной гипертонией. Мы установили, что сокращение мышц снижает системное давление у мужчин с гипертонией за счет увеличения кровотока в работающих мышцах. Это обеспечивается за счет снижения чувствительности постсинаптических адренорецепторов артерий к нейромедиатору норадреналину.

The cardiovascular system must distribute oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, maintaining appropriate blood pressure. This is achieved through a combination of central and peripheral mechanisms that affect cardiac output and vasomotor tone throughout the vascular system. In addition, the ability to preferably direct blood to tissues with increased metabolic demand is crucial for exercise tolerance and is called working muscle hypertension. We found that muscle contraction reduces systemic pressure in men with hypertension by increasing blood flow in working muscles. This is achieved by reducing the sensitivity of the postsynaptic adrenoreceptors of the arteries to the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.

Covalently introducing sulfur in a thiol-rich metal-organic framework toward advanced lithium-sulfur batteries

Published: April 2023

The severe shuttle effect and sluggish reaction kinetics have hindered the commercial application of high-energy lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. In this work, a dual-thiol metal-organic framework (MOF) was in situ synthesized on carbon nanotubes, and sulfur was covalently connected to this composite (UiO-66(SH)2@CNT) to form a MOF-sulfur copolymer (S-UiO-66(SH)2@CNT). Benefiting from the strong covalent interaction between thiol groups and sulfur species, the S-UiO-66(SH)2@CNT cathode can retard the shuttle effect and simultaneously strengthen the redox kinetics of polysulfides. As a result, a discharge capacity of 791 mAh g-1 is achieved at a current density of 0.2 C, whereas the S/UiO-66@CNT cathode using the blend of UiO-66@CNT and sulfur as active materials only shows a specific capacity of 670 mAh g-1. Moreover, the S-UiO-66(SH)2@CNT cathode exhibits a higher capacity retention of 93.27 % at 0.5 C during 200 cycles compared with that of the S/UiO-66@CNT cathode (64.94 %). This work will provide significant inspiration for the design of advanced MOFs and cathodes for excellent Li-S batteries.

Authors: Adrion Daniel , Lopez Steven
Published: April 2023

Azoarenes are an important class of molecular photoswitches that often undergo E➝Z isomerization with ultraviolet light and have short Z-isomer lifetimes. We performed density functional theory calculations [PBE0-D3BJ/6-31+G(d,p)] on 26 hemi-azothiophenes and provided design principles for azoarenes featuring red-shifted E-isomer absorption (λmax) and long Z-isomer half-lives (t1/2). Our top candidate has λmax and a t1/2 approaching 360 nm and 279 years, respectively.
1H NMR Shift of Single Molecular Water and Its Ligand Interactions in Organic Solvents
Authors: Gu Liuqun
Published: April 2023

Loose H-bonded water named as “free water” or “confined water” plays an important role in “on water catalysis”, or on properties of lignocellulose-based composites, as well as protein-ligand binding (lock and key inhibition) and protein mediated multivalent weak cooperative interactions like carbohydrate-protein complexes in biological systems. To quantify the number of banded hydrogen bonds for single molecular water is challenging. In order to identify the “free water” via 1H NMR, a theoretical value of chemical shift of single molecular water with zero bonding is rationally set here. Water ligand interactions with common organic solvents were investigated systematically. The role of water ligand interactions in “on water” catalysis is elucidated.

Effect of an estetrol/drospirenone contraceptive on sexual function in women of reproductive age
Authors: Orazov Mekan R. , Ermakov Vasily V. , Novginov Dmitrii S.
Published: April 2023

The use of hormonal contraception is widespread worldwide. Over the years of use, it has been possible to study its contraceptive effectiveness and its effect on carbohydrate metabolism, blood coagulation, lipid profile, liver function tests, and other systems and organs. However, the effect on sexual function has not been sufficiently studied. For a long time, ethinylestradiol remained the main estrogen in combined oral contraceptives; however, the desire to improve safety led to the development of a new drug containing natural, highly selective estrogen estetrol and the well-known progestogen drospirenone. Therefore, it is relevant to study the effect of the new combined oral contraceptive on sexual function.
