Sensorless MPPT Algorithms for PV Systems in Partially Shaded Scenarios
Authors: Martines Guilherme M. S. , De Brito Moacyr A. G. , Batista Edson A. , Godoy Ruben B. , Mateus Tiago H. A.
Published: December 2024

This manuscript presents current sensorless algorithms for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in partially shaded photovoltaic (PV) systems. The necessity of a current sensor is eliminated with the use of mathematical modeling of the power electronics converter. This approach significantly reduces the implementation cost and the inherent disadvantages in the current sensor circuitry. MPPT techniques based on soft computing are employed, in addition to Perturb and Observe (P&O), due to their ability to explore a larger search space. This feature is advantageous because it minimizes convergence risk to a local maximum, a limitation of traditional techniques. Simulation and experimental results are presented and each algorithm is evaluated through different metrics, such as search time for the global maximum power point (GMPP) and efficiency. The tests consider dynamic irradiance profiles, producing a tracking factor (TF) above 99% and a remarkable fast convergence time.
Efficiency of Police Cooperation in Criminal Investigations
Authors: Cucoreanu Cristian
Published: December 2024

Police cooperation is essential not only to investigate crime, but also to prevent it. Sharing information and best practices between law enforcement agencies allows early identification of threats, which can lead to prompt and effective interventions. At the same time, working together can reduce legislative or procedural disparities between states, which helps to strengthen joint efforts to fight crime. In addition to legal and operational challenges, police cooperation also raises ethical, privacy and data protection issues. In the digital age, the exchange of information between police agencies must comply with strict data protection standards in line with national and international legislation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. Thus, police cooperation is an indispensable tool in criminal investigations, offering the possibility to go beyond the geographical and legal limits imposed by national borders. However, its effectiveness depends on a clear legislative framework, mutual trust between partners and the adoption of modern technologies to facilitate real-time communication and information exchange. Police cooperation is an essential element in the fight against contemporary crime, but its effectiveness depends on resolving the legislative and operational problems that sometimes prevent effective inter-agency cooperation. Technological development and adaptation to new forms of crime also remain major challenges in this area.
Juvenile Delinquent Behavior
Authors: Bălan Lăcrămioara
Published: December 2024

Juvenile deviant behavior is the set of material or symbolic actions committed persistently, repeatedly, or continuously by the minor often considered a response to the frustration they experience while interacting with the environment and affecting negatively social values. The types of problematic behavior can be classified into the following categories: offenses against property, offenses against individuals, offenses against morality, juvenile delinquent conduct, juvenile crime. Considering the influence of individual variables on criminal behavior, criminology introduces the notion of offender personality as a component of the human personality within a bio-psycho-social framework. The individual’s psychological profile cannot be fully understood without the biological infrastructure on which he develops and outside the social superstructure in which it is embedded.

Koncepcja pojazdów elektrycznych pojawiła się po raz pierwszy na początku XIX wieku. Wtedy również powstały pierwsze pojazdy elektryczne, ale z uwagi na brak akumulatorów o wysokiej pojemności zaprzestano rozwoju tej koncepcji. Zastosowano ją jedynie w pojazdach szynowych i trolejbusach. Po prawie stuletniej przerwie, pod koniec XX wieku, powrócono do koncepcji pojazdów elektrycznych. Konstruktorzy pojazdów samochodowych wykorzystali znaczny postęp technologiczny w budowie akumulatorów, jaki nastąpił w XX wieku jako odpowiedź na potrzeby zmieniającego się świata. Postęp ten wymusił proekologiczne działania minimalizujące wpływ różnego rodzaju pojazdów samochodowych na środowisko naturalne, w następstwie czego opracowano różne koncepcje układów napędowych. Konstruktorzy zaproponowali szereg rozwiązań elektrycznych, elektryczno-spalinowych i innych, których zastosowanie zdecydowanie zmniejsza zużycie paliw pochodzących ze źródeł nieodnawialnych. W porównaniu z pojazdami z klasycznym (spalinowym) układem napędowym, pojazdy elektryczne są zdecydowanie bardziej ekologiczne i cechują się wieloma zaletami. Jedną z głównych jest znacznie wyższa efektywność zmiany energii w ruch obrotowy kół. Przenoszenie momentu obrotowego z silnika elektrycznego na koła pojazdu odbywa się z reguły za pomocą jednostopniowej przekładni lub skrzyni biegów. Zadaniem przekładni jest nie tylko przeniesienie ruchu, ale także zmiana jego parametrów. Odpowiednio dopasowana przekładnia, z właściwie dobranymi przełożeniami, jak również sposób ich zmiany mają znaczący wpływ na optymalne wykorzystanie siły napędowej silnika. W artykule opisano rodzaje stosowanych w pojazdach elektrycznych przekładni mechanicznych i olejów przekładniowych.
DIREITO HUMANO À SAÚDE, BIOÉTICA DE INTERVENÇÃO E ÉTICA DA ALTERIDADE: a deficiência para além da deficiência
Authors: Rosa Milena Cereser da , Sturza Janaína Machado
Published: December 2024

O artigo busca analisar a (in)efetivação do direito humano à saúde no contexto das pessoas com deficiência, sob a perspectiva da bioética de intervenção e ética da alteridade. Inicialmente, objetivou-se compreender o modelo social da deficiência, para, posteriormente, analisar (in)efetivação do direito humano à saúde das pessoas com deficiência, a partir da ética da alteridade e bioética de intervenção. À vista disso, com o método de análise hipotético-dedutivo, conclui-se que as ações afirmativas de saúde para pessoas com deficiência são desenvolvidas a partir de igualdade de condições, reafirmando o paradoxo entre exclusão, igualdade e inclusão firmado no conceito de normalidade. Para tanto, a intersecção entre ética da alteridade e bioética de intervenção rompe essa perspectiva voltada para a normalização dos sujeitos, levando em consideração a singularidade dos indivíduos e as especificidades das pessoas com deficiência de modo a viabilizar a efetivação do direito humano à saúde.

Authors: Guiscafré Julien , Sales Christian
Published: December 2024

Sous l'effet des variations de sa teneur en eau, le bois peut subir des variations dimensionnelles ; il se rétracte lorsque la teneur en eau diminue et gonfle lorsque la quantité d'eau qu'il contient augmente.Les coefficients de retrait linéaire varient fortement selon la direction, le retrait longitudinal étant beaucoup plus faible que le retrait radial ou tangentiel. Mais il est essentiel de connaître le retrait longitudinal, car il affecte la plus grande dimension de la pièce de bois et joue donc un rôle important dans le comportement du bois.Les auteurs de cet article ont cherché un système de mesure qui soit à la fois pratique, rapide et fiable. Ils ont réussi à mettre au point une procédure expérimentale qui a déjà permis d'obtenir des résultats intéressants. Les mesures ont été effectuées sur quatre espèces africaines : Bété, Bilinga, llomba et Sapelli. Elles sont commentées dans cet article.

Published: December 2024

Bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) is one of the plants from Indonesia that has the potential to be used as a raw material for herbal medicine. Pharmacologically, bay leaves containing flavonoids have been shown to have antioxidant activity, which can reduce hyperuricemia and blood cholesterol levels. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of bay leaf extract in reducing uric acid and cholesterol levels in the blood of mice induced by caffeine. The mice tested animals were divided into six groups, namely a positive control group of uric acid, a positive control of cholesterol, where a positive control of uric acid was given allopurinol and a positive control of cholesterol was given simvastatin, a negative control was given Na-CMC 1%, and a group that was given bay leaf extract in different dose levels, namely P1 was given 20 mg/kg BB, P2 was given 40 mg/kg BB, and P3 was given 80 mg/kg BB. The parameters used were the decrease in blood uric acid and cholesterol levels caused after the treatment was measured using a POCT strip test for uric acid and cholesterol. The data obtained were statistically processed using the One-Way Anova test. The results of the Anova test showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in the data on uric acid and cholesterol levels. Then continued with the results of Duncan's test to see the most effective dose level for bay leaf extract in reducing uric acid and cholesterol levels. In Duncan's test results, it was found that the P3 group of mice with a dose of 80 mg/kg BB was the most effective dose level in reducing uric acid and cholesterol levels in the blood of mice induced by caffeine.

Authors: Beta Subakti Nataatmadja  , Amatullah Nida' Fahima , Lumintang Loelita Marcelia
Published: December 2024

Highlights:

This case shows autoaugmented mastopexy as a natural alternative to silicone implants for patients seeking breast enhancement.
The combination of breast lift and autoaugmentation using the patient’s own tissue is presented as an effective method for achieving a firmer breast appearance while maintaining a natural look.

The use of tailored preoperative design, including breast ultrasound, enhances surgical safety and outcomes.

Abstract:
Introduction: Breast ptosis is a common concern among women due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight loss. To achieve a beautiful breast shape, mastopexy (breast lift) with augmentation is often required. This case report highlights the relevance of the chosen augmentation method in addressing ptosis.
Case Illustration: A 30-year-old woman had breast ptosis after her 2nd child and wanted a breast lift to have lifted and firmer breasts. Due to limited fat tissue available for transfer and her refusal to use silicone implants, the patient chose autoaugmented mastopexy. Before surgery in August 2022, breast ultrasound showed abnormalities. Preoperative design was made to determine skin and pedicle positions, using a wise pattern with a superior pedicle to lift the nipple-areola complex (NAC) and an inferior pedicle for autoaugmentation. Surgery was done carefully to achieve symmetry and desired result.
Discussion: Breast tissue changes a lot during and after pregnancy and hormonal factors increases the risk of ptosis. According to Regnault classification, the patient was classified as 3rd degree ptosis. While prosthetic implants are common in breast surgery, the patient declined that option. Autoaugmented mastopexy offers a more natural result without the risks of implants.
Conclusion: Breast lift with autoaugmentation is suitable for patients with breast ptosis seeking a firmer appearance without added volume. This technique utilizes the patient's own tissue to achieve satisfactory results, although outcomes may vary depending on individual factors.

Évaluation du bien-être des chevaux sur le terrain : protocoles disponibles, conditions et limites d’utilisation
Authors: BRIANT Christine , RIOU Mickaël , RUET Alice
Published: December 2024

Le bien-être des chevaux figure parmi les préoccupations de leurs détenteurs et utilisateurs. Optimiser le bien-être nécessite au préalable de pouvoir évaluer de façon objective l’état physique et mental des animaux à l’aide de protocoles validés, afin de pouvoir adapter les pratiques mises en œuvre. Cet article présente les trois principaux protocoles d’évaluation disponibles. Le premier (SEBWAT) est adapté aux animaux des pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire, dont le niveau global de bien-être est plutôt faible. Il ne comporte que des indicateurs observés sur les animaux, dont peu d’indicateurs d’état mental et ne peut être réalisé que par des évaluateurs formés et entraînés. Les deux autres (AWIN Horse et Cheval Bien-être) sont plus adaptés aux chevaux des pays à revenu élevé et sont destinés à tous les détenteurs. Ils comportent des indicateurs observés sur les animaux et dans leur environnement. Le plus récent, le protocole Cheval Bien-être est en français et a intégré de nouveaux indicateurs d’état mental négatif. Ces deux protocoles pourraient être améliorés en adaptant certains des indicateurs et en intégrant des indicateurs d’état mental positif.

Published: December 2024

Abstract Western Sahara has been a contested area between Morocco and a liberation movement called the Polisario Front for decades. Post 2020, there are growing numbers of countries who recognize, and are in favor of Moroccan efforts to maintain sovereignty, in addition to territorial integrity over the Western Sahara. Morocco continues to strengthen its Autonomy Plan by taking several approaches so that external legitimacy can be achieved. This paper aims to analyze the current efforts of the Moroccan government; that is their approach to attain international recognition for external legitimacy and territorial integrity over the Western Sahara. The research method is Qualitative-Descriptive, with data gathering technique being Library Research. Analysis in this paper is based on the Diplomacy and National Interest theories. The result indicates that the current approach of the Moroccan government is getting assertive: tit-for-tat normalization of relations, leverage politics with foreign countries, and expanding tangible presence in the Western Sahara through diplomatic building establishments, as well as setting up international cooperations. These efforts indicate the growing urgency of the Western Sahara for Morocco, and also its non-wavering resolve to protect territorial integrity.

Authors: Muhammad Ferhadz Ammar
Published: December 2024

Di Indonesia, kategori ulama terdiri dari dua kelompok agamawan, yakni kiai dan habaib. Keduanya terlibat aktif dalam totalitas dakwah yang responsif terhadap keadaan masyarakat. Sehingga masyarakat tidak hanya menjadikan ulama sebagai rujukan keilmuan, namun sekaligus pertimbangan dalam menentukan pilihan-pilihan hidup, termasuk politik. Semakin banyak pengikut yang menyerahkan loyalitasnya kepada ulama, maka pengaruh dan kekuasaan yang dimiliki ulama bertambah besar. Implikasi politisnya, ulama mulai bersaing untuk mendapatkan banyak pengikut yang bisa dipertukarkan dengan manfaat berupa materi dan kedudukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah dinamika perdebatan nasab Ba ‘Alawi antara kelompok pro-Imad dengan pro-habaib. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, penelitian ini berhasil mengumpulkan data primer berupa argumentasi kedua kelompok, sekaligus data sekunder dengan mengelaborasi studi literatur berupa sejarah dan perilaku politik ulama. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan, bahwa perdebatan nasab memiliki unsur persaingan otoritas dan perebutan pengaruh antara sejumlah kiai Jawa dan habaib untuk mendominasi status dan manfaat yang menguntungkan.
Homeownership in Low-Income Communities in Indonesia: The Role of Poverty Levels, Inflation, and Bank Indonesia Rate
Authors: Hafidzi Achmad Hasan , Afroh Ibna Kamilia Fiel
Published: December 2024

Rapid population growth is an important problem for developing countries like Indonesia. The large population must be managed appropriately to minimize inequality that occurs in society, one of which is where they live. A house is one of the most needed fixed assets in the lives of Indonesian people. Homeownership that reaches all elements of society can reduce the poverty gap. Poverty is the main factor for people in owning a house. Apart from that, there are inflation and BI rate factors that influence people's ability to own a house. Inflation is a trigger for the purchasing power of low-income people to own a place to live. The BI rate is an important factor in determining mortgage interest rates so it has an impact on the purchasing power of low-income people. The higher the BI Rate is inversely proportional to people's ability to own a private residence. It is hoped that the fixed interest rate regulated by the government will be able to meet people's needs in buying houses and increase the purchasing power of low-income people.

Published: December 2024

Traffic congestion in the school environment, especially during school departure and return hours, is a significant problem. This study aims to identify the causes of traffic congestion and evaluate strategies that can be applied in overcoming these problems. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach, using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. SWOT analysis was conducted to assess the internal and external factors of the applied strategy. The results showed that congestion is caused by various factors, including student shuttle activities, indiscriminate vehicle parking, limited parking lots, crossing the road, and street vendors selling around the school. The Transportation Agency's efforts include traffic regulation by officers in the field and appeals to schools and parents. However, there are weaknesses in terms of limited human resources and traffic infrastructure. The conclusion of this study is the need to optimize existing strategies, including additional personnel, provision of “kiss and ride” parking facilities, and procurement of more adequate traffic signs. In addition, enforcement of traffic rules and socialization to the community need to be improved in order to maintain smooth traffic flow and improve safety around schools.

Published: December 2024

The outer layer of russet pear fruit skin is coated with suberin, a key protective barrier that deters pests and minimizes water loss, making it an important trait for fruit cultivation. This study investigates the mechanisms underlying russet formation in the pear exocarp, focusing on the ‘Dangshansuli’ with yellow-green skin and its russeted mutant ‘Dangshanjinsu’ through proteomic analysis. The results revealed numerous differentially expressed proteins associated with the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, suberin and wax synthesis pathways, and sesquiterpenoid and triterpenoid synthesis pathways. Specifically, six PbSQE genes, encoding squalene epoxidases involved in triterpenoid synthesis, showed distinct expression patterns in the exocarp of ‘Dangshansuli’ and ‘Dangshanjinsu’ during fruit development. Overexpression of PbSQE3 and PbSQE6 in transgenic Arabidopsis significantly increased triterpenoid compounds, including ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, α-amyrin, and β-amyrin. These findings highlight the roles of PbSQE3 and PbSQE6 in triterpenoid biosynthesis and suggest they contribute to the downregulation of suberin deposition in the russet pear exocarp.
Benefits of Targeted Deployment of Physician-led Interprofessional Prehospital Teams On The Care of Critically Ill and Injured Patients: A systematic review and meta- analysis
Authors: Lavery Matthew D. , Arshbir Aulakh , Christian Michael D.
Published: December 2024

Introduction
Over the past three decades, more advanced pre-hospital systems have increasingly integrated physicians into targeted roles, forming interprofessional teams. These teams focus on providing early senior decision-making and advanced interventions while also ensuring rapid transport to hospitals based on individual patient needs. This paper aims to evaluate the benefits of an inter-professional care model compared to a model where care is delivered solely by paramedics.
Methodology.
A meta-analysis and systematic review were conducted using the guidelines of PRISMA 2020. Articles were identified through a systematic search of three databases and snowballing references. A systematic review was conducted of articles that met the inclusion criteria, and a suitable subset was included in a meta-analysis. The survival and mortality outcomes from the studies were then pooled using the statistical software Review Manager (RevMan) Version 8.2.0. Results
Two thousand two hundred ninety-six articles were found from the online databases and 86 from other sources. However, only 23 articles met the inclusion criteria of our study. A pooled analysis of the outcomes reported in these studies indicated that the mortality risk was significantly reduced in patients who received pre-hospital care from interprofessional teams led by physicians compared with those who received care from paramedics alone (AOR 0.80; 95% CI [0.68, 0.91] p = 0.07). The survival rate of critically ill or injured patients who received pre-hospital care from interprofessional teams led by physicians was increased compared to those who received care from paramedics alone (AOR 1.49; 95% CI [1.31, 1.69] P<0.00001).
Conclusions
The results of our analysis indicate that the targeted deployment of interprofessional teams led by physicians in the pre-hospital care of critically ill or injured patients improves patient outcomes.

Published: December 2024

The brain, a complex and important organ in the human body, is crucial for all our body processes. For the diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of a wide spectrum of brain disorders, accurate and early detection of the proper disorder from neurophysiological monitoring methods is essential. The importance of identification of disorders like Schizophrenia in clinical practice is examined in this research, along with the difficulties in attaining accurate results, particularly when working with small structures and precise details. A novel pre-processing methodology in this stream has been implemented for further feature and knowledge extraction and subsequent image generation. With their ability to automatically extract pertinent features from input images, CNN has made a significant advancement in the domain of image classification.This study presents and investigates in details the effect of our pre-processing on various well-known CNN based architectures. Various models like DenseNet, ResNet, MobileNet, NasNet, EfficientNet and ConvNext families along with Xception, InceptionV3 and InceptionResNetV2 models have been taken into consideration. These models have become optimal approaches to various classification tasks, each providing certain benefits and addressing particular difficulties. We have conducted this research on EEG data from a standard dataset, namely, IBIB PAN - Department of Methods of Brain Imaging and Functional Research of Nervous System dataset. This study presents a thorough review of the performance of different CNN based models and their variants on our preprocessed and generated images. On comparison with state-of-the-art results we have observed that using this approach, almost all our models have exceeded the same. Medical professionals and researchers can use the outcomes of these techniques for better diagnosis and treatment planning in the field of brain disorders.

Here, we reported an incidental finding of LAA obstructive membrane in patients with previous history of cerebrovascular event and newly diagnosed rheumatismal mitral stenosis (MS) in echocardiography.
Synthesis and Characterization of CQDs from Carbon Soot of Almond Oil and It's Hierarchical Arrangement in 6CHBT LC media: Role of Functionalization
Authors: Mishra Manish Kumar , Singh Satya Pal
Published: December 2024

We have synthesized carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from the carbon soot of almond oil deposited on copper metal surface. We have functionalized CQDs using 2,5-Dimercapto-1,3,4-Thiadiazole (DMTD), and have explored the integration of functionalized CQDs in 6CHBT LC media. Our primary objective is to investigate the effect of functionalized CQDs on the organizational behavior and the opto-electronic properties of the hybrid systems. We perform comprehensive characterizations such as FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), OM (Optical microscopy), HR-XRD, UV-Vis-Nir, SERS and Fluorescence spectroscopy to explore the nano-micro scale hierarchical structures composed of CQDs owing to their self-assembly in presence of 6CHBT molecules. Our findings may pave the path for the development of novel integrated materials by tailoring opto-electronic properties. We have highlighted the role of surface plasmons by characterizing for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.

Background
The optimal follow-up protocol for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is unclear. This is the first study to evaluate the benefit of structured follow-up imaging of PCNSL with respect to the timing of relapse.
Methods
A total of 198 PCNSL patients (57.1% males) diagnosed between 2003 and 2020 were included. The data were collected retrospectively from 8 hospitals in Finland. Relapse detection details included structured follow-up imaging (sMRI) studies, additional imaging (aMRI) studies based on patients’ new symptoms, and all outpatient and emergency visits. Overall survival (OS) with respect to the relapse detection method, sMRI versus aMRI, was also evaluated.
Results
Relapse was diagnosed in 71 patients (35.9%), 66.1% of whom experienced relapse during the first 2 years after diagnosis. During the first year, 48.3% (14/29) of the relapses were detected via sMRI, and 51.7% (15/29) via aMRI. During the second year, the percentages were 33.3% and 66.7%, respectively. More than 5 years after the diagnosis, all the relapses were detected via aMRI. To observe one relapse during the first year, 9.4 sMRI studies were needed. Overall survival after relapse (OS2) was 4.0 months for the patients whose first relapse was detected via sMRI and 3.0 months for those whose first relapse was detected via aMRI (P = 0.203).
Conclusions
We found that structured imaging was beneficial for relapse detection during the first year after PCNSL diagnosis. A minor trend towards better survival after relapse was observed for patients who experienced relapse according to structured imaging.

Published: December 2024

Background
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) transdifferentiate into myofibroblasts during liver fibrosis and exhibit increased glycolysis. Phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (pY397-FAK) promotes monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT-1) expression in HSCs to increase aerobic glycolysis and cause liver fibrosis.
Methods
A combined multiomics analysis of C57BL/6 mice with tetrachloromethane (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis was performed to identify the downstream FAK signaling pathway. The effect of the FAK inhibitor PF562271 on CCl4-induced liver fibrosis was explored by immunofluorescence of liver tissues. The migration, proliferation and aerobic glycolysis of LX-2 cells after stimulation and activation by transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) or suppression by PF562271 was assessed in vitro.
Results
Multiomics analysis of a successfully generated CCl4-induced liver fibrosis mouse model was performed. FAK and cyclin D1 were significantly enriched in mice with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. In vivo, the MCT-1 and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) levels were increased in mice with CCl4-induced liver fibrosis, and MCT-1 and α-SMA expression decreased after PF562271 treatment. In vitro, PF562271 alleviated TGF-β1-induced LX-2 activation. LX-2 cells showed diminished migration, proliferation, and aerobic glycolysis after PF562271 intervention.
Conclusion
FAK promotes aerobic glycolysis in LX-2 cells through the cyclin D1/c-Myc/MCT-1 pathway, thereby increasing liver fibrosis.
The association between body roundness index and constipation: a cross‑sectional survey of NHANES 2005–2010
Authors: Guo Chaofan , Peng Qibo , Ao Qi , Zheng Zhangqiang , Yu Xiangyang
Published: December 2024

Background
Obesity, particularly visceral fat, is linked to constipation. And Body Roundness Index (BRI) offers a precise evaluation of visceral fat levels. Nevertheless, the risk of developing constipation is not yet known to be connected with BRI.
Methods
From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 8,388 individuals aged 20 years or older were recruited for the study. The primary strategy employed to examine the relationship between BRI and the possibility of constipation was logistical regression, which encompassed multivariable regression analysis, smoothing curve fitting, and subgroup analysis.
Results
These findings revealed a negative correlation between elevated BRI values and the likelihood of constipation. After adjusting for variables, persons in the uppermost quartile (Q4) of BRI showed a 0.574-fold reduced likelihood of constipation in contrast to people who were in the bottom quartile (Q1), as shown in Table 2. The 95% confidence interval (CI) for this risk was 0.464–0.710, where P < 0.001. These findings support the negative correlation between increased BRI and reduced likelihood of constipation.
Conclusions
An elevated BRI ratio was linked to a reduced likelihood of developing constipation. Our findings suggest that maintaining a certain level of visceral fat may have a preventive and alleviating effect on constipation. However, additional prospective investigations are necessary to validate this hypothesis.

Published: December 2024

Background
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) correlate with tumour prognosis and immunotherapy responses in gastric cancer (GC) studies. However, understanding the complex and diverse immune microenvironment within TLS requires comprehensive analysis.
Methods
We examined the prognostic impact of TLS within the tumour core (TC) of 59 GC patients undergoing immunotherapy. Multispectral fluorescence imaging was employed to evaluate variations in immune cell infiltration across different TLS sites among 110 GC patients, by quantifying immune cell density and spatial characteristics. We also generated a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of TLS-positive (n = 4) and TLS-negative (n = 8) microenvironments and performed spatial transcriptomics (ST) analysis on two samples.
Results
TLS presence in the TC significantly correlated with improved immune-related overall survival (P = 0.049). CD8+LAG-3−PD-1+TIM-3−, CD4+PD-L1+, and CD4+FoxP3− T cell densities were significantly higher in the TLS within TC compared to tumour and stromal regions. Immune cells within TLS exhibited closer intercellular proximity than those outside TLS. Five key density and spatial characteristics of immune cells within TLS in the TC were selected to develop the Density and Spatial Score risk model. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed strong intercellular interactions in the presence of TLS within the microenvironment. However, TLS-absent environment facilitated tumour cell interactions with immune cells through MIF- and galectin-dependent pathways, recruiting immunosuppressive cells. ST analysis confirmed that T and B cells co-localize within TLS, enhancing immune response activation compared to cancer nests and exerting a strong anti-tumour effect.
Conclusions
TLS presence facilitates frequent cell-to-cell communication, forming an active immune microenvironment, highlighting the prognostic value of TLS.
Monoclonal Antibody to Podoplanin SZ-168 Attenuates Microglia Pyroptosis and Neuroinflammation in Experimental Cerebral Haemorrhage
Authors: Liu Shiyao , Cui Jie , Liang Ruyi , Wang xia , Zhao Yiming
Published: December 2024

Background
Neuroinflammation is an important factor in the development of secondary brain injury after intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), involving the interaction of haemorrhage formation and inflammatory pathways. Podoplanin is a small transmembrane mucin-like glycoprotein, and it has been demonstrated that the PDPN/CLEC-2 axis is involved in inflammatory diseases. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect of a monoclonal antibody against podoplanin, SZ168, on neuroinflammation in a mouse model of cerebral haemorrhage.
Methods
Male C57BL/6 mice (weight 22–25 g, 6–8 weeks old, n = 108) were randomly divided into sham-operated, ICH-operated and SZ168-treated groups. Brain haemorrhage was induced by collagenase injection into the striatum, and SZ168 IgG was administered intraperitoneally 6 h after ICH. Neurological regression was assessed at the molecular, cellular, histological and functional levels by short-term neurobehavioural tests, cerebral oedema, Evans blue staining, Western blotting, ELISA and immunofluorescence staining. In vitro, human-derived microglial HMC3 cells were pretreated with SZ168 IgG and washed platelets. Then hemin treatment was added to construct an in vitro model of cerebral haemorrhage, which was detected by wound healing assay, transwell migration assay, cell counting kit-8 reagent, colony formation on solid media and western blot to detect the functional changes of microglia after PDPN inhibition.
Results
PDPN expression in mouse brains was elevated 48 h after ICH, and inhibition of PDPN function with SZ168 improved short-term neurological function after ICH and reduced cerebral oedema and cerebral haemorrhage. In vitro, SZ168 treatment inhibited microglial invasion, migration and proliferation functions. Mechanistically, inhibition of PDPN function with SZ168 in vivo and in vitro was able to attenuate ICH-induced expression of nlrp3, caspase-1 and gasdermin D as well as inflammatory factors IL-1β, TNF-α and MPO.
Conclusions
Blocking PDPN can reduce microglial invasion, migration and proliferation functions by inhibiting the microglial NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD inflammatory pathway, which may play a role in reducing the inflammatory situation at the site of cerebral haemorrhage and ameliorating secondary brain injury.
