Published: April 2020

PURPOSE:
To evaluate and compare the objective and subjective outcomes between bilateral implantation of the extended depth of focus (EDOF) Mini Well intraocular lens (IOL) and the aspheric monofocal Mini-4-Ready IOL (both SIFI S.p.A., Catania, Italy).

METHODS:
This prospective comparative study included 25 patients (50 eyes) bilaterally implanted with an EDOF Mini Well IOL (EDOF group) and 25 patients (50 eyes) bilaterally implanted with a Mini-4-Ready IOL (monofocal group). Three-month follow-up data included corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity at 4 m and 80, 67, and 40 cm. Defocus curves, subjective and objective contrast sensitivity, and objective optical quality (modulation transfer function cutoff and Strehl ratio calculated with Optical Quality Analysis System [OQAS]; Visiometrics SL, Terrassa, Spain), halometry, and reading performance were measured. Subjective visual quality was evaluated based on National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument 42 (NEI RQL-42) scores.

RESULTS:

Postoperative uncorrected and corrected monocular and binocular intermediate and near visual acuity was significantly better in the EDOF group (
P
< .001). No differences were observed for distance visual acuity (
P
⩾ .312). Defocus curve outcomes for myopic values were better in the EDOF group (
P
< .001). No significant differences were found in hyperopic (obtained in steps of +0.50 diopters [D] from emmetropia to 1.50 D) values (
P
⩾ .095), contrast sensitivity curves (
P
⩾ .087), or OQAS outcomes (
P
⩾ .138). Halometric values were significantly better in the monofocal group (
P
< .05). There was a correlation between mean keratometry values and intermediate/near visual acuity. Significantly better NEI RQL-42 subscale scores for near vision, far vision, activity limitations, glare, dependence on correction, and suboptimal correction were noted in the EDOF group (
P
< .05).

CONCLUSIONS:
Intermediate and near visual acuity was better after EDOF IOL than after aspheric monofocal IOL implantation while maintaining similar levels of visual quality, except for halo perception.

Published: April 2020

AbstractThis article focuses biosensors based on the electrohydrodynamic jet printing processes, including the fabrication process, micro/nano‐material characteristics, and the sensing principle. Electrohydrodynamic jet printing provides a novel way to fabricate micro/nano‐structures for flexible/wearable biosensors with excellent characteristics of low detection limits, high sensitivities, and fast responses. The nonwoven nanofibrous mats have been used as support substrates, detection elements, and sensor electrodes to enhance the sampling, reaction, and detection in the biosensing processes. Large‐scale electrospinning techniques are discussed to efficiently produce nanofibers for the industrial nanofiber applications. The near‐field electrospinning technique is also introduced which can overcome the bending instability in the nanofiber deposition process to make orderly nanofibrous patterns as the sacrificial structure for the fabrication of microfluidic chips as bioreactor chambers. The functional nanofibers increase the biosensing interfaces and sensing sensitivity with good flexibility to realize applications such as the vital signs detection for the fields of disease diagnosing, infection control, and health care. With these great advantages, electrohydrodynamic jet printing provides new opportunities for the development of point of care medical.
Super‐macroporous composite cryogels based on biodegradable dextran and temperature‐responsive poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)

Published: April 2020

AbstractThis contribution describes the fabrication of super‐macroporous cryogels comprising an interpenetrating network of biodegradable dextran and temperature‐responsive poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) segments. Cryogels were prepared from nonmodified dextran and N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) via cryogenic treatment of their aqueous solutions and subsequent irradiation with Ultraviolet light. The weight ratio of the two precursors was varied in order to find out the proper conditions for producing cryogels of high gel fraction yield and favorable physico‐mechanical properties. Temperature‐responsive behavior and enhanced elastic modulus were established for cryogel materials containing ≥50 wt% PNIPAAm. Scanning electron microscopy study revealed an open‐porous structure of cryogels below and above the temperature of volume phase transition. Such morphology featured a very quick response of the material to temperature changes. The capability of dextran/PNIPAAm cryogels for instant release of water‐soluble substances was demonstrated as well.

Abstract

Motivated by recent global initiatives for biodiversity conservation and restoration, this article reviews the gaps in our understanding of, and the challenges facing, freshwater macroinvertebrate biodiversity and conservation in tropical regions.
This study revealed a lack of adequate taxonomic, phylogenetic, and ecological information for most macroinvertebrate groups, and consequently there are large‐scale knowledge gaps regarding the response of macroinvertebrate diversity to potential climate change and other human impacts in tropical regions.
We propose ideas to reduce the impact of key drivers of declines in macroinvertebrate biodiversity, including habitat degradation and loss, hydrological alteration, overexploitation, invasive species, pollution, and the multiple impacts of climate change.
The review also provides recommendations to enhance conservation planning in these systems (as well as providing clear management plans at local, regional, and national levels), integrated catchment management, the formulation of regulatory measures, the understanding of the determinants of macroinvertebrate diversity across multiple scales and taxonomic groups, and the collaboration between researchers and conservation professionals.
It is suggested that the integrated use of macroinvertebrate biodiversity information in biomonitoring can improve ecosystem management. This goal can be facilitated in part by conservation psychology, marketing, and the use of the media and the Internet.
Weiterentwicklung der Energieeinsparverordnung

Published: April 2020

AbstractDie wesentlichen Anforderungen an die energetische Qualität von Gebäuden werden in Deutschland bisher in der Energieeinsparverordnung (EnEV) formuliert. In absehbarer Zeit wird die EnEV durch das Gebäudeenergiegesetz (GEG) ersetzt. Beiden Regelwerken ist gleich, dass lediglich der Energiebedarf, resultierend aus der Nutzungsphase eines Gebäudes, zu bilanzieren ist. Der Energieaufwand für die Herstellung und Instandhaltung von Gebäuden sowie für den Rückbau und die Entsorgung von veralteten Gebäudekomponenten wird dabei außer Acht gelassen. In der Vergangenheit war diese Einschränkung vertretbar. Mit der Entwicklung hocheffizienter Gebäude sinkt jedoch der Energiebedarf in der Nutzungsphase in hohem Maße und eine Neubewertung ist erforderlich. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen am Beispiel eines Ein‐ und eines Mehrfamilienhauses, welche die aktuellen Anforderungen der EnEV erfüllen, haben ergeben, dass über einen Zeitraum von 50 Jahren die Herstellungs‐ und Instandhaltungsphase zusammen einen Anteil von 30 % (EFH) bzw. 38 % (MFH) des gesamten Primärenergiebedarfs, nicht erneuerbar verursacht. Für diesen Anteil sind jedoch bisher keine gesetzlichen Vorgaben zu beachten. Es sind somit über die Gebäudenutzungsphase hinaus erhebliche Einsparpotenziale im Baubereich vorhanden. Zur Aktivierung dieser Potenziale werden im Rahmen dieses Artikels Ansätze zur Berücksichtigung der Herstellungs‐, Nutzungs‐ und Instandhaltungsphase bei der energetischen Bewertung von Gebäuden vorgestellt.

Published: April 2020

Retinoblastoma (RB) is one of the most common primary intraocular malignancies in children. Emerging researches have shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical roles in a variety of cancers. As a novel circRNA, the function of circ_0000527 in RB remains unknown. In this work, expression level of circ_0000527 and miR‐646 in RB tissues and cell lines were detected by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR). RB cell lines (SO‐Rb50 and WERI‐Rb‐1) were used as cell models in functional experiments. CCK‐8 assay, TUNEL assay and transwell assay were employed to detect the biological influence of circ_0000527 and miR‐646 on cancer cells in vitro. qRT‐PCR, luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay and western blot were used for exploring the interactions among circ_0000527, miR‐646 and BCL‐2. It was demonstrated that expression level of circ_0000527 in RB samples was significantly up‐regulated compared to normal tissues, while miR‐646 was markedly down‐regulated. Overexpression of circ_0000527 promoted the viability, migration and invasion of RB cells, while miR‐646 transfection had the opposite effects. Circ_0000527 sponged miR‐646 to regulate the expression of BCL‐2. In conclusion, circ_0000527 could promote the development of RB by indirectly modulating BCL‐2 via absorbing miR‐646.Significance of the studyExpression level of circ_0000527 in RB samples was significantly up‐regulated compared to normal tissues, while miR‐646 was markedly down‐regulated.

Published: April 2020

AbstractThe MnIII/MnII redox couple with a standard potential of +1.51 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) has attracted interest for the design of V/Mn redox flow batteries (RFBs). However, MnIII disproportionation leads to a loss of capacity, an increase in pressure drop, and electrode passivation caused by the formation of MnO2 particles during battery cycling. In this work, the influence of TiIV or/and VV on MnIII stability in acidic conditions is studied by formulating four different electrolytes in equimolar ratios (Mn, Mn/Ti, Mn/V, Mn/V/Ti). Voltammetry studies have revealed an ECi process for MnII oxidation responsible for the electrode passivation. SEM and XPS analysis demonstrate that the nature and morphology of the passivating oxides layer depend strongly on the electrolyte composition. Spectroelectrochemistry highlights the stabilization effect of TiIV and VV on MnIII. At a comparable pH, the amount of MnIII loss through disproportionation is decreased by a factor of 2.5 in the presence of TiIV or/and VV. Therefore, VV is an efficient substitute for TiIV to stabilize the MnIII electrolyte for RFB applications.

BackgroundOptimizing quality of life (QoL) remains the central tenet of care in patients with incurable cancer; however, determinants of QoL are not clear. The objective of the current study was to examine which factors influence QoL in patients with incurable cancer.MethodsA multicenter study of adult patients with advanced cancer was conducted in Ireland and the United Kingdom between 2011 and 2016. Data were collected from patients at study entry and included patient demographics, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG‐PS), nutritional parameters (the percentage weight loss [%WL]), muscle parameters assessed using computed tomography images (skeletal muscle index and skeletal muscle attenuation), inflammatory markers (modified Glasgow Prognostic score [mGPS]), and QoL data (the European Organization for Research and Treatment Quality‐of‐Life Questionnaire C‐30). The relation between clinical, nutritional, and inflammatory parameters with QoL was assessed using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient and multivariate binary logistic regression. Components of the European Organization for Research and Treatment Quality‐of‐Life Questionnaire C‐30 (physical function, fatigue, and appetite loss) and summary QoL scores were mean‐dichotomized for the logistic regression analyses.ResultsData were available for 1027 patients (51% men; median age, 66 years). Gastrointestinal cancer was most prevalent (40%), followed by lung cancer (26%) and breast cancer (9%). Distant metastatic disease was present in 87% of patients. The %WL, ECOG‐PS, and mGPS were significantly correlated with deteriorating QoL functional and symptom scales (all P < .001). On multivariate regression analysis, >10% WL (odds ratio [OR], 2.69; 95% CI, 1.63‐4.42), an ECOG‐PS of 3 or 4 (OR, 14.33; 95% CI, 6.76‐30.37), and an mGPS of 2 (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.09‐2.29) were independently associated with poorer summary QoL scores. These parameters were also independently associated with poorer physical function, fatigue, and appetite loss (all P < .05). Low skeletal muscle attenuation was independently associated with poorer physical functioning (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.09‐2.56), but muscle parameters were not independently associated with fatigue, appetite loss, or QoL summary scores.ConclusionsThe current findings indicate that QoL is determined (at least in part) by WL, ECOG‐PS, and the systemic inflammatory response in patients with advanced cancer. Identifying early predictors of poor QoL may allow the identification of patients who may benefit from early referral to palliative and supportive care, which has been shown to improve QoL.
Development and validation of a fast gas chromatography combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry method for the detection of epiandrosterone sulfate in urine

Published: April 2020

AbstractIn doping control, to confirm the exogenous origin of exogenously administered anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), a gas chromatography combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC‐C‐IRMS) analysis is performed. Recently published work suggests that epiandrosterone sulfate (EpiAS) is a promising IRMS target compound for the detection of AAS, capable of prolonging the detection window. However, EpiAS is only excreted in urine in its sulfoconjugated form, while all other IRMS target compounds are excreted glucuronidated, meaning that EpiAS cannot be incorporated in the existing IRMS methods. A separate extensive sample preparation needs to be performed on this compound with a different hydrolysis and extraction procedure and a different liquid chromatography (LC) clean‐up.The current work presents a new, fast, and easy to implement EpiAS IRMS method. The approach was based on the direct GC analysis of non‐hydrolyzed EpiAS, making the solid phase extraction, hydrolysis, and acetylation step redundant. Sample preparation consisted of a simple liquid–liquid extraction, followed by LC fraction collection. A population study was performed to check compliance with the criteria drafted by the World Anti‐Doping Agency (WADA). To verify the applicability of the developed approach, the method was applied to the samples of four administration studies (i.e. dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), testosterone gel (T gel), androstenedione (ADION), and intramuscular testosterone undecanoate. In contrast to previously published data, the strength of EpiAS as the target compound and the prolongation of the detection window in comparison with the conventional IRMS target compounds was less pronounced.

Published: April 2020

AbstractEcological diversity has been reported for killer whales (Orcinus orca) throughout the North Atlantic but patterns of prey specialization have remained poorly understood. We quantify interindividual dietary variations in killer whales (n = 38) sampled throughout the year in 2017–2018 in northern Norway using stable isotopic nitrogen (δ15N: 15N/14N) and carbon (δ13C: 13C/12C) ratios. A Gaussian mixture model assigned sampled individuals to three differentiated clusters, characterized by disparate nonoverlapping isotopic niches, that were consistent with predatory field observations: seal‐eaters, herring‐eaters, and lumpfish‐eaters. Seal‐eaters showed higher δ15N values (mean ± SD: 12.6 ± 0.3‰, range = 12.3–13.2‰, n = 10) compared to herring‐eaters (mean ± SD: 11.7 ± 0.2‰, range = 11.4–11.9‰, n = 19) and lumpfish‐eaters (mean ± SD: 11.6 ± 0.2‰, range = 11.3–11.9, n = 9). Elevated δ15N values for seal‐eaters, regardless of sampling season, confirmed feeding at high trophic levels throughout the year. However, a wide isotopic niche and low measured δ15N values in the seal‐eaters, compared to that of whales that would eat solely seals (δN‐measured = 12.6 vs. δN‐expected = 15.5), indicated a diverse diet that includes both fish and mammal prey. A narrow niche for killer whales sampled at herring and lumpfish seasonal grounds supported seasonal prey specialization reflective of local peaks in prey abundance for the two fish‐eating groups. Our results, thus, show differences in prey specialization within this killer whale population in Norway and that the episodic observations of killer whales feeding on prey other than fish are a consistent behavior, as reflected in different isotopic niches between seal and fish‐eating individuals.

AbstractNature‐based solutions for water‐resource challenges require advances in the science of ecohydrology. Current understanding is limited by a shortage of observations and theories that can further our capability to synthesize complex processes across scales ranging from submillimetres to tens of kilometres. Recent developments in environmental sensing, data, and modelling have the potential to drive rapid improvements in ecohydrological understanding. After briefly reviewing advances in sensor technologies, this paper highlights how improved measurements and modelling can be applied to enhance understanding of the following ecohydrological examples: interception and canopy processes, root uptake and critical zone processes, and up‐scaled effects of land use on streamflow. Novel and improved sensors will enable new questions and experiments, while machine learning and empirical methods provide additional opportunities to advance science. The synergy resulting from the convergence of these parallel developments will provide new insight into ecohydrological processes and thereby help identify nature‐based solutions to address water‐resource challenges in the 21st century.
