Authors: Xuan Gao , Yi Li , Di Zhou , Shuwei Wang
Published: April 2024

This study evaluated the impact of enteral nutrition versus parenteral nutrition on perioperative cognitive function and related outcomes in patients undergoing different surgeries. From April to December 2023, 240 patients in Shanghai, China, undergoing elective surgery were randomly assigned to receive either enteral or parenteral nutrition postoperatively. This cross-sectional study represented a wide range of clinical applications and surgical procedures. Outcomes, including longterm hospital stays, complication rates, dietary compliance, 30-day readmission rates, patient satisfaction, inflammatory markers, immunological response, stress response, and perioperative cognitive function, measured by Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores, were investigated in this study. Compared to patients in the parenteral nutrition group, those in the enteral nutrition group exhibited considerably shorter hospital stays (8.7 ± 1.9 days versus 9.4 ± 2.0 days, P < 0.05), lower complication rates (22% versus 30%, P < 0.05), and lower 30-day readmission rates (10% versus 15%, P < 0.05). The enteral nutrition group exhibited higher patient satisfaction rates (9.1 ± 2.1 versus 8.2 ± 1.6, P < 0.05). Additionally, enteral nutrition was linked to better immunological and inflammatory profiles and lower stress marker levels (cortisol, lymphocyte count, and C-reactive protein). After various surgical procedures, enteral nutrition recipients achieved higher scores on postoperative cognitive tests. Compared to parenteral nutrition, enteral nutrition provides better results regarding hospital stay, complication rate, readmission rate, patient satisfaction, and cognitive function. These results support the preferential use of enteral nutrition in postoperative treatment and contribute to the growing evidence demonstrating the physiological advantages of enteral nutrition and its beneficial effects on postoperative recovery and cognitive preservation.

Published: April 2024

This study aimed to investigate the regulatory functions of Sijunzi decoction on mitochondrial dysfunction in muscle atrophy progression. Cell viability was assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, and protein expressions were investigated using Western blot. The adenosine triphosphate level was measured using an adenosine triphosphate commercial kit, and the oxygen consumption rate was evaluated using the MitoXpress® Xtra oxygen consumption assay kit. Tetramethylrhodamine staining was used to quantify mitochondrial membrane potential, and C2C12 cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 μM) for 48 h to create a muscle atrophy model. We found that the decreased cell viability stimulated by dexamethasone treatment was reversed after Sijunzi treatment (50 μg/mL and 100 μg/mL). Additionally, Sijunzi treatment suppressed dexamethasone-stimulated C2C12 myotube atrophy and ameliorated dexamethasone-triggered mitochondrial dysfunction. Sijunzi treatment retarded the adenosine 5’-monophosphate-activated protein kinase/forkhead box O3 pathway. We demonstrated that Sijunzi regulates AMPK/FOXO3a-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and alleviates DEX-induced C2C12 myotube muscle atrophy.
Do enteric glial cells play a role in the pathophysiology of major depression?
Authors: Rajkumar Ravi Philip
Published: April 2024

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental disorder associated with significant suffering and disability. Recent evidence has highlighted the role of the gut-brain axis in the pathogenesis of MDD. Enteric glial cells are a structurally and functionally diverse population that plays a key role in regulating enteric nervous function and maintaining intestinal mucosal integrity. These cells may be implicated in the origin of several digestive and extra-digestive disorders, known as enteric neuro-gliopathies (ENG). This paper reviews the evidence that MDD may also belong to the category of ENG. Animal models suggest that environmental adversity can lead to enteric glial dysfunction and depressive-like behaviors. Conditions that are highly comorbid with MDD, both intestinal and extra-intestinal, have been linked to enteric glial alterations. Peripheral blood markers linked to glial integrity and function are altered in patients with MDD, and certain treatments for MDD may have beneficial effects on enteric glial functioning. Though much of this evidence is indirect and provisional, it suggests that MDD may belong to the group of ENG. Further investigation of enteric glial functioning in MDD may yield valuable insights into the pathophysiology and treatment of this disorder.
Surgical cystogastrostomy: Is it still worthwhile?
Authors: Au Kin Pan , Chok Kenneth Siu Ho
Published: April 2024

The article by Ker et al explores the treatment of peripancreatic fluid collection (PFC). The use of percutaneous drainage, endoscopy, and surgery for managing PFC are discussed. Percutaneous drainage is noted for its low risk profile, while endoscopic cystogastrostomy is more effective due to the wider orifice of the metallic stent. Surgical cystogastrostomy is a definitive treatment with a reduced need for reintervention, especially for cases with extensive collections and significant necrosis. The choice of treatment modality should be tailored to individual patient characteristics and disease factors, considering the expertise available.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kim Jiyoung
Published: April 2024

Corporate donations is one of the most traditional firm policy for the corporate social responsibility. This paper examines the determinants of corporate donations using Tobit model. I constructed the firm-level panel data of 683 listed companies in Korea from 2000 to 2022. The estimation results find out that the corporate donations increase as the firm size is bigger, the debt ratio is lower, and the cash-flow ratio is higher. ROA has a significantly positive impact on the corporate donations during the whole analysis period, but it loses its significance for the sub-sample excluding global financial crisis and Corona-19 pandemic period. The results also show that firms donate more as they spends more money on advertising and R&D expenditure. Reduction of corporate tax rate in 2009 decreased the corporate donations significantly, and it has not been recovered to the initial level before the tax cut even after the tax rate re-increased in 2018. Change in tax deduction policy in 2014 did not affect corporate donations.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Baek Ji Won
Published: April 2024

In order to establish a reasonable competitive policy after the rapid growth of OTT services, discussions on the competition situation and substitution between OTT services and Pay TV are active. This study aims to give implications for the future evaluation and policy of competition in the media market by looking at the factors affecting the expenditure of TV VOD services which have been decreasing in market size in recent years. Considering the characteristics of the data, this study analyzes two distinct effects on TV VOD expenditure, which are whether to spend on TV VOD and how much you spend on TV VOD, and data from 2021 to 2022 of the Korean Media Panel Survey were employed. First, the results of estimating the impact on whether to spend on TV VOD suggest that it was confirmed that subscribers who spend on OTT services are more likely to spend on TV VOD than non-OTT subscribers. In addition, IPTV households were more likely to spend on TV VODs than non-subscribers and CATV subscribers. As a result of estimating the factors affecting the amount of TV VOD expenditure, it was found that the longer OTT usage time, the higher TV VOD expenditure, confirming that a complementary relationship rather than a substitution between the two media services is still maintained.

This paper utilizes GANs in multimedia forensics, where the precision and accuracy of image classification are crucial. The objective of the study is to detect sophisticated manipulated images generated by advanced deep learning methods using classical transformation methods. The method combines the classical wavelet transform for feature extraction with a classifier model to distinguish between real and fake images. The proposed method extracts unique features that differentiate between fake and real images, which are then fed to several gradient-boosting-based classifiers. The proposed method was tested using the FaceForensics++ dataset, which contains low-resolution video sequences of faces. The proposed model achieves an accuracy of 95% in detecting manipulated videos compared with 87% accuracy of other classical techniques.

Estimation particle composition such as particle shape, size, and concentration are crucial prior to the fabrication process of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) to avoid process repetition due to inaccurate formulation. Currently, most of MRE prediction model were purposely used to predict the rheological properties such as shear stress and dynamic modulus, known as forward model. Nonetheless, very few studies have been reported to be capable able of predicting particle composition particularly in MR materials, which known as inverse model. Therefore, this paper proposed a carbonyl iron particle (CIP) concentration based MRE prediction model using neural network algorithm. Neural network-based machine learning model is more approachable compared to conventional mathematical modelling approach due to easily identify trends and pattern while handling multi-variety data. Various optimization algorithms have been employed such as Adam, RMSprop, SGD, AdaGrad, and Nadam throughout the modelling process. As the results, given shear strain amplitude, magnetic flux density, storage modulus, and loss factor as model input, SGD gave the maximum prediction accuracy with 0.95 and 3.038 MPa of R2 and RMSE, respectively. Hence, this model can be the basis to the MRE material and devices development particularly as the tool to reduce costing and time consuming.

This paper intends to compare the performance parameters of passive Q-switched erbium-doped fibre laser (EDFL) ring cavity configuration by employing SWCNT-PVA as a saturable absorber (SA). The single-wall carbon nanotube-polyvinyl alcohol (SWCNT-PVA) SA thin film fabricated by drop-casting technique is physically characterised to understand its surface morphology and thickness. The laser diode (LD) characterisation is attained to understand the attributes of LD before inserting the SWCNT-PVA into the ring cavity. The SWCNT-PVA SA of ratios 1:1, 3:2 and 2:3 is inserted into the cavity for analysis and comparison with each other. The pulses obtained from the Q-switched laser show that SWCNT-PVA SA of ratio 2:3 is the best SA as it possesses excellent power related parameters of the highest output power of 3.45 mW and highest pulse energy of 36.12 nJ with its moderate repetition rate of 96.25 kHz and pulse width 4.76 ms. The envisaged laser is presumed to have representational implications throughout fibre optic sensing, biosensors, range finding, and other fields for better possible prospects.

İstanbul Boğazı, kıvrımlı jeomorfolojisi ve yoğun deniz trafiğiyle seyir emniyeti açısından oldukça zorlu bir suyoludur. Gelişen gemi inşa teknolojisi bugün geçmişe kıyasla daha büyük boyut/kapasitedeki gemileri deniz ticaretine kazandırmıştır. Bu durum, kazaların karakteristiğini de değiştirmekte; Boğaz’ın deniz trafiği dinamiklerine paralel olarak seyir emniyetini güçlendirici tedbirler geliştirmeyi gerekli kılmaktadır. 07 Nisan 2018 tarihinde meydana gelen M/V VITASPIRIT kazası bu ihtiyacın altını çizen en önemli ayrımlardan biri olmuştur. Makine arızasının köprüüstüne haber verilmesi ile kazanın yaşanması arasında sadece 7 dakika olması, kaptan/kılavuz kaptana karar verme açısından fazla bir zaman bırakmamıştır. Bu noktada, karar verme konseptinin önemi ortaya çıkmakta ve karar verici durumunda olan kaptan/kılavuz kaptanın duygu, düşünce ve davranışlarının kaza dinamikleriyle birlikte incelenmesi önem taşımaktadır. Literatürde, denizcilik alanına ilk kez uygulanan Altı Şapkalı Düşünme Tekniği ile insan faktörü, M/V VITASPIRIT vaka analizi üzerinden denizci psikolojisi perspektifiyle araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, siyah şapka ile kazaya dair risk değerlendirmesi yapılmış, sarı şapka ile kazadan çıkarılacak dersler araştırılmış, kırmızı şapka ile personel duygu, düşünce ve davranışları değerlendirilmiş ve yeşil şapka ile benzer kazaların yaşanmaması için geliştirilen çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen bulgular, en az 17 yıllık mesleki tecrübesi bulunan 6 uzakyol kaptanı ve 2 uzakyol başmühendisin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen anket yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir.

Developing an innovative response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, our initiative strategically addresses the pressing issue of ventilator shortages and the intricacies of patient care within medical facilities. The primary focus is on the creation of a compact and wearable ventilator using embedded systems technology. Inspired by the surge in mechanical ventilator designs during the pandemic, our proposed system evolves from a simple, cost-effective device to a sophisticated solution tailored to meet the specific demands of pulmonologists and medical practitioners. The urgency in healthcare, compounded by the limited availability of ventilators, underscores the critical need for a portable and effective solution. Traditional ventilators are complicated due to challenges such as size, weight, cost, and complexity, confining their use to medical facilities and elevating the risk of secondary infections. To combatthese issues, our project seeks to design a smaller, more accessible ventilator, presenting a practical alternative for patients facing economic constraints or restricted access to medical facilities.

Emerging as a WHO priority pathogen, Nipah virus (NiV) – an RNA virus within the Paramyxoviridae family – first ignited outbreaks in 1998 Malaysia. Closely related to Hendra virus, NiV continues to threaten South and Southeast Asia. A zoonotic threat, Nipah virus (NiV) jumps from its natural reservoir, fruit bats, to pigs and then humans. This BSL-4 threat, with no cure or shield, compels us to harmonise the voices of humans, animals, and the environment in a One Health symphony to prevent future outbreaks. A 2018 Chinese study identified populations at high risk for Nipah virus infection are Fruit farmers, traders, palm wine brewers, Cattle herders, especially pig farmers and Tourists. Nipah virus exhibits remarkable zoonotic versatility, with transmission pathways between humans and animals varying based on geography. Factors such as diverse livestock breeding practices, local eating habits, and the interplay with the natural reservoir - fruit bats - contribute to this fascinating mosaic of infection routes. Unravelling these complexities is crucial for designing effective control strategies tailored to specific regions. Following exposure to the Nipah virus (NiV), symptoms typically appear within two weeks, ranging from 4 days to 2 months. Fever, headache, dizziness, and vomiting are common initial signs, potentially progressing to severe encephalitis. A promising development in the fight against Nipah virus emerges as the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) initiates an early-phase clinical trial for an investigational vaccine.
