Authors: Jones Hunter B. , Hinkle Andrew J. , Liu Yida , Sambandam Senthil N.
Published: June 2024

Background: Early dislocation following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare but devastating complication and represents a source of patient morbidity and financial burden to the healthcare system. The objective of this study was to identify patient characteristics and comorbidities that are associated with increased early in-hospital dislocation rates following primary THA. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using patient data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database; we identified patients who had undergone THA from 2016 to 2019 and compared those with an early periprosthetic dislocation prior to discharge to those without. The patient characteristics and comorbidities were compared using univariate analysis with a subsequent investigation of statistically significant variables using multivariate analysis. The variables were compared using chi square, Fisher’s exact test, and independent sample t-tests with data assessed using odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals. Results: A total of 5151 patients sustained an early dislocation compared to 362,743 who did not. Those who sustained an in-hospital dislocation were more likely to share the following characteristics: female sex (OR 1.21, p < 0.01), age > 70 (OR 1.45, p < 0.01), Caucasian ethnicity (OR 1.22, p < 0.01), SLE (OR 1.87, p < 0.01), and Parkinson’s disease (OR 1.93, p < 0.01). Certain characteristics were also associated with decreased odds of having an in-hospital dislocation including elective surgery (OR 0.14, p < 0.01), tobacco use (OR 0.8, p < 0.01), diabetes without complications (OR 0.87, p < 0.01), and a history of heart valve replacement (OR 0.81, p < 0.01). The length of stay was significantly longer (4.7 days vs. 2.3 days) as was the total hospital charges (USD $101,517 vs. USD $66,388) for the early in-hospital dislocation group. Conclusions: Several patient characteristics and comorbidities are associated with early in-hospital dislocation episodes following total hip arthroplasty including female sex, age > 70, non-elective surgery, SLE, and Parkinson’s. This information may be useful to help guide intraoperative implant selection and/or postoperative protocol in select patient populations to limit early instability as well as decrease the financial burden associated with this postoperative complication.

Published: June 2024

With a growing aging population, the routine assessment of physical function may become a critical component of clinical practice. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to compare two common assessments of muscular function: (1) isometric knee extension strength (KES) and (2) sit-to-stand (STS) muscle power tests, in predicting objective physical function (i.e., gait speed) in aging adults. 84 adults (56% female, mean (SD) age = 66.6 (9.4) years) had their relative KES, STS power, usual gait speed (UGS), and fast gait speed (FGS) assessed. Multiple linear regression examined the associations between KES, STS power, and gait outcomes. When entered in separate models, KES and STS power were both independently associated with UGS and FGS (Std. β = 0.35–0.44 and 0.42–0.55 for KES and STS power, respectively). When entered in the same model, STS power was associated with UGS and FGS (Std. β = 0.37 [95%CI: 0.15, 0.58] and 0.51 [95%CI: 0.31, 0.70], respectively), while KES was only associated with FGS (Std. β = 0.25 [95%CI: 0.02, 0.48]). STS power seems to be a valid indicator of function in aging adults. Its feasibility as a screening tool for “low” function in the primary care setting should be explored.

Published: June 2024

Thanks to the line-scanning camera, the measurement method based on line-scanning stereo vision has high optical accuracy, data transmission efficiency, and a wide field of vision. It is more suitable for continuous operation and high-speed transmission of industrial product detection sites. However, the one-dimensional imaging characteristics of the line-scanning camera cause motion distortion during image data acquisition, which directly affects the accuracy of detection. Effectively reducing the influence of motion distortion is the primary problem to ensure detection accuracy. To obtain the two-dimensional color image and three-dimensional contour data of the heavy rail surface at the same time, a binocular color line-scanning stereo vision system is designed to collect the heavy rail surface data combined with the bright field illumination of the symmetrical linear light source. Aiming at the image motion distortion caused by system installation error and collaborative acquisition frame rate mismatch, this paper uses the checkerboard target and two-step cubature Kalman filter algorithm to solve the nonlinear parameters in the motion distortion model, estimate the real motion, and correct the image information. The experiments show that the accuracy of the data contained in the image is improved by 57.3% after correction.

Published: June 2024

In order to further optimize the performance of PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) repair mortar. In this paper, fly ash, talcum powder and wollastonite powder are used as fillers to modify the PMMA repair mortar. The effects of these three fillers on the working performance, mechanical performance and durability of PMMA repair mortar were explored. The study shows that the three fillers have good effect on the bond strength of the repair mortar, in which the fly ash has the best effect on the mechanical performance. The mechanical properties of PMMA repair mortar were best when the amount of fly ash was 60 phr (parts per hundred, representing the amount of the material added per hundred parts of PMMA). At this time, the 28 d compressive strength was 71.26 MPa and the 28 d flexural strength was 28.09 MPa, which increased by 13.31% and 15.33%, respectively. Wollastonite powder had the least negative effect on the setting time of the PMMA repair mortar. When the dosage of wollastonite powder was increased to 100 phr, the setting time was only extended from 65 min to 94 min. When the talc dosage was 60 phr, the best improvement in salt freezing resistance was achieved. After 100 cycles of salt freezing, the mass loss rate and strength loss rate decreased to 0.159% and 4.97%, respectively, which were 75.1% and 37.7% higher than that of the control group. The addition of all three fillers reduced the porosity and the proportion of harmful pores in the mortar. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding how different types of fillers affect PMMA repair mortars, and it also provides theoretical support for the further development of low-temperature rapid repair mortars.

Published: June 2024

The deep drawing process, a pivotal technique in sheet metal forming, frequently encounters challenges such as anisotropy-induced defects. This study comprehensively investigates the influence of various yield criteria on the anisotropic behavior and fracture prediction in SECC steel cylindrical cups. It integrates Hill’48R, Hill’48S, and von Mises yield criteria in conjunction with Swift’s hardening law to evaluate material behavior under complex stress states. Experimental and numerical simulations assess the anisotropy effects across multiple orientations (0°, 45°, and 90°), revealing intricate relationships between stress criteria and material response. The findings indicate significant discrepancies between isotropic and anisotropic models in predicting fracture heights, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate yield criteria. Notably, the von Mises criterion results in lower fracture heights, suggesting higher susceptibility to fractures, while the Hill’48R model aligns closely with experimental data, validated through variations in punch corner radius and blank holder force parameters, with a maximum deviation of 3.23%. Hill’48S displays moderate plastic deformation characteristics.
Phosphorus-Doping Enables the Superior Durability of a Palladium Electrocatalyst towards Alkaline Oxygen Reduction Reactions

Published: June 2024

The sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs) require considerable Pd in the cathode, hindering the widespread of alkaline fuel cells (AFCs). By alloying Pd with transition metals, the oxygen reduction reaction’s catalytic properties can be substantially enhanced. Nevertheless, the utilization of Pd-transition metal alloys in fuel cells is significantly constrained by their inadequate long-term durability due to the propensity of transition metals to leach. In this study, a nonmetallic doping strategy was devised and implemented to produce a Pd catalyst doped with P that exhibited exceptional durability towards ORRs. Pd3P0.95 with an average size of 6.41 nm was synthesized by the heat-treatment phosphorization of Pd nanoparticles followed by acid etching. After P-doping, the size of the Pd nanoparticles increased from 5.37 nm to 6.41 nm, and the initial mass activity (MA) of Pd3P0.95/NC reached 0.175 A mgPd−1 at 0.9 V, slightly lower than that of Pd/C. However, after 40,000 cycles of accelerated durability testing, instead of decreasing, the MA of Pd3P0.95/NC increased by 6.3% while the MA loss of Pd/C was 38.3%. The durability was primarily ascribed to the electronic structure effect and the aggregation resistance of the Pd nanoparticles. This research also establishes a foundation for the development of Pd-based ORR catalysts and offers a direction for the future advancement of catalysts designed for practical applications in AFCs.
Influence of Sol–Gel State in Smectite Aqueous Dispersions on Drying Patterns of Droplets
Authors: Kimura Hiroshi
Published: June 2024

The sol–gel state of smectite clay dispersions varies with the volume fraction of clay and electrolyte concentration. In this study, it was elucidated that the drying patterns of droplets from four types of smectite clay dispersions vary according to their sol–gel states. Droplets in the sol state exhibited a ring-shaped pattern, while those in the gel state showed a bump-shaped pattern. Near the boundary between the sol and gel states, patterns featuring both ring and bump structures were observed regardless of whether the droplets were on the sol or gel side. When guest particles or molecules were introduced into the clay dispersion, they dispersed uniformly within the system, and the drying pattern depended on the sol–gel state of the droplets. These findings suggest that the presence or absence of convection within the droplets during drying governs the drying pattern.
Influence of the Properties of Different Types of Recycled Aggregate on the Service Properties and Leaching of Paving Blocks Manufactured at Industrial Scale
Authors: Hernández Miriam , Sánchez Isidro , Navarro Rosa , Sánchez Marina , Rodríguez Carlos
Published: June 2024

The literature shows that a circular economy can benefit some sectors such as the construction industry. This sector demands huge amounts of raw materials and produces waste when buildings and structures are demolished. This paper explores the possibility of manufacturing at industrial scale paving blocks using different types of construction and demolition wastes as aggregates, without modifying the commonly used industrial conditions. A total of four different recycled aggregates were used in this research. Both natural and recycled aggregates have been characterized. The dosages were optimized (three different formulations). Prefabricated tests have been carried out on the products manufactured in industrial plants and the evolution of mechanical properties over time has been analysed. The results obtained were analysed statistically by applying the principal component analysis (PCA) method. To ensure the security of the elements manufactured, the ionic leaching of the materials used as recycled aggregate and of the elements produced has been tested. The main implications of this research on the construction industry show that the majority of recycled aggregates used could replace 25% of the natural aggregate in manufactured precast concrete, that the properties of the aggregates should be taken into account in the different standards and that all paving blocks manufactured in this study can be considered environmentally safe (no risk of leaching) according to the Netherland Soil Quality Decree. Therefore, it is evident that it is possible to manufacture on an industrial scale paving blocks with mixed recycled aggregates, concrete and ceramic in nature, both with the fine and coarse fractions that meet the requirements of its reference standard UNE-EN 1338 and the Netherland Soil Quality Decree that evaluates environmental risks due to leaching.

Authors: Yu Ting-Ting , Yang Fu-Rong , Su Yao , Qi Yi-Heng , Liu Yi , Hu Nan
Published: June 2024

Prolamins, proteins derived from plants, have extensive applications in pharmaceutics and food science. Jiuzao is a byproduct of the Baijiu brewing industry, and is a great source of prolamin. Despite its importance, knowledge regarding the extraction techniques and the properties of prolamin derived from Baijiu Jiuzao (PBJ) remains limited. Reverse micelles (RMs) extraction offers an efficient and cost-effective method for purifying proteins. In the present study, prolamin was extracted from Baijiu Jiuzao using RMs extraction and subsequently characterized in terms of its secondary structure, morphology, and particle size distribution. Our findings indicate that the purified prolamin extracted using further RMs extraction possessed higher α-helix content (+13.25%), forming a large-scale protein network, and narrower particle size distributions compared to the crude prolamin obtained by NaOH-ethanol method. This research suggests that RMs extraction has potential applications in extracting prolamin from brewing industry byproducts, offering an environmentally friendly approach to Baijiu Jiuzao recycling.

Authors: Wan Ying , Wang Li , Yang Yan , Ding Zhao , Tang Daqing , Zhang Dihong , Zhang Linling
Published: June 2024

At present, the methods for sulfur solubility testing of high-sulfur natural gas generally use laboratory proportioning gas samples and then connect equipment to test the sulfur solubility of the gas samples based on the adsorption deposition mechanism. However, these testing methods generally have the following problems: (1) The equipment used in these test methods has safety hazards such as leakage at pipe and valve connections. (2) The sulfur solubility of real gas samples cannot be measured directly. (3) The equipment is difficult to clean, and it is especially difficult to clean the sulfur deposited at pipe elbows and valve connections. This will lead to low sulfur solubility test results. (4) The thermal insulation performance during the test process is not good, and temperature changes have a great impact on gas volume measurement. In order to solve the above problems, a testing method and comprehensive experimental device for the solubility of elemental sulfur in high-sulfur natural gas were established. This test method wraps the entire experimental device with a metal shell, which has good safety and thermal insulation performance, and it uses customized pipeline connections, which have high flushing efficiency, less sulfur deposition, and more accurate experimental results. The upgraded filtration system can directly measure the sulfur dissolution of real gas samples, and a CS2 solution recovery process is added to reduce the risk of leakage and environmental pollution. This method and equipment were used to test the elemental sulfur solubility determination of real gas samples from a high-sulfur gas well. The research results show that the solubility of elemental sulfur is related to temperature, pressure, and H2S concentration and increases with the increase in temperature, pressure, and H2S concentration. Compared with the previous method, this method has less residual sulfur during the test process, the measured sulfur solubility is 2.13% greater, and the test results are more accurate and reliable. This research result provides important basic data support for accurately measuring the elemental sulfur solubility of real gas samples in high-sulfur gas reservoirs and dealing with sulfur deposition problems.
Paeoniae Radix Alba and Network Pharmacology Approach for Osteoarthritis: A Review
Authors: Wang Bo , Bai Changcai , Zhang Yuanyuan
Published: June 2024

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis and affects more than 240 million people worldwide; the most frequently affected areas are the hips, knees, feet, and hands. OA pathophysiology is multifactorial, involving genetic, developmental, metabolic, traumatic, and inflammation factors. Therefore, treatments able to address several path mechanisms can help control OA. Network pharmacology is developing as a next-generation research strategy to shift the paradigm of drug discovery from “one drug, one target” to “multi-component, multi-target”. In this paper, network pharmacology is employed to investigate the potential role of Paeoniae Radix Alba (PRA) in the treatment of OA. PRA is a natural product known for its protective effects against OA, which has recently drawn attention because of its ability to provide physiological benefits with fewer toxic effects. This review highlights the anti-inflammatory properties of PRA in treating OA. PRA can be used alone or in combination with conventional therapies to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects. The study also demonstrates the use of network pharmacology as a cost-effective and time-saving method for predicting therapeutic targets of PRA in OA treatment.

Purpose: Coffee is an agricultural commodity product that is popular among the public because it has a unique taste and aroma, thus encouraging a high increase in demand for coffee. This encourages rapid development in coffee retail companies, and employees have become one of the factors in a company's success. Employees who feel cared for by the company and are satisfied with their work will make a significant contribution to the company in the form of increased performance, work achievement, and increased employee retention. The purpose of this research is to determine the influence of compensation, organizational culture, and work motivation on employee retention at the Maxx Coffee store.
Research Methodology: The approach used in this study is a quantitative approach to data collection using research tools. The method applied in this study was a survey with a total research sample of 45 Maxx Coffee employees in Tangerang.
Results: From the results of the research, it is known that compensation, organizational culture, and work motivation have partial effects on employee retention. But simultaneously it is known that compensation, organizational culture, and work motivation influence employee retention.
Limitation: The limitation in this research is that because it uses a questionnaire, something that can happen is that sometimes the responses given can show a situation that is not true. The author focused only on regression models and quantitative research methods.
Contribution: The author advises that Maxx Coffee can increase compensation and be able to adopt an organizational culture for all its employees, as well as motivate further improvement of Maxx Coffee's ability to retain its employees at the Tangerang branch.

Pakinklio venos aneurizma (PVA) yra reta kraujagys­linė patologija, pasireiškianti lokaliu venos spindžio iš­siplėtimu. Venos aneurizmos apibrėžimas, formavimosi priežastys, klinikiniai požymiai, diagnostikos ir gydymo būdai vis dar nėra aiškiai apibrėžti dėl išsamių tyrimų trūkumo bei mažo paplitimo populiacijoje (0,1-0,2%), tačiau PVA turi būti identifikuojama ir gydoma, nes tai gali būti viena iš pasikartojančių plaučių trombinės em­bolijos priepuolių priežasčių. Esant simptominių, trom­buotų ar >20 mm skersmens pakinklio venos aneurizmų, pirmo pasirinkimo gydymas yra chirurginis aneurizmos maišelio pašalinimas.

Published: June 2024

Tyrimo tikslas − remiantis mokslinės literatūros duome­nimis, išanalizuoti ir aptarti informaciją apie aspiracinės pneumonijos rizikos veiksnius. Atlikta mokslinės lite­ratūros ir dokumentų apžvalga medicininėse duomenų bazėse. Rezultatai parodė, jog aspiracinė pneumonija yra apatinių kvėpavimo takų ir plaučių parenchimos in­fekcija, atsirandanti dėl kolonizuoto burnos ir ryklės ar viršutinės virškinamojo trakto dalies turinio patekimo į apatinius kvėpavimo takus. Pacientams, hospitalizuo­tiems dėl kitų ligų, aspiracinė pneumonija gali būti mir­ties priežastis, todėl rizikos veiksniai ir jų modifikavimas yra aktualus klinikinės praktikos klausimas.

Authors: Shuni Mustapha Ahmad , Mukoshy Jamilu Ibrahim
Published: June 2024

The rise of Social Media Technologies (SMTs) has transformed electoral processes globally, and Nigeria is no exception. These platforms have amplified political engagement and voter education but have also introduced the challenge of misinformation and public opinion manipulation. This paper presents strategies to address these issues in Nigeria's general elections. The proposed measures include fortifying regulatory frameworks and electoral laws, bolstering technological safeguards, and fostering collaboration with social media companies. These strategies are pivotal in regulating online political activities and ensuring adherence to national guidelines. Public education campaigns on media literacy can empower citizens to evaluate online content critically. Furthermore, institutional support for electoral bodies and civil society organizations, along with international cooperation, can strengthen the resilience of the electoral process. This research aligns with global efforts to combat the spread of fake news on SMTs, aiming to enhance national security and political stability in Nigeria. By implementing these strategies, Nigeria can effectively manage the influence of social media on its elections, fostering a more transparent and democratic electoral environment.
