Published: February 2020

Abstract
The role of spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in biological control programmes has received less attention than that of insect natural enemies. The aim of this two-year study was to obtain descriptive data on spider spring field population structure and dynamics. The study was carried out in one insecticide-free and four organic apple orchards in southeastern France. Rolls and bands of corrugated cardboard near the ground and shoots infested with Dysaphis plantaginea (Passerini) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the tree canopy were used to sample spiders. Thirty-three spider species belonging to 14 families were identified from both sampling methods. Cheiracanthium mildei Koch (Araneae: Cheiracanthiidae) was clearly the predominant arboreal spider species in aphid-infested shoots (>57%). More than half of the spiders recorded in cardboard bands belonged to three species Drassodes pubescens (Thorell) (Araneae: Gnaphosidae), Pseudeuophrys erratica (Walckenaer) (Araneae: Salticidae), and Icius hamatus (Koch) (Araneae: Salticidae). Salticidae (39.9%) and Gnaphosidae (23.4%) families dominated significantly the spider assemblages observed in the cardboard rolls and were present on almost all sampling dates. However, in the two shelter types, the spider abundance curve clearly had a poly-modal shape. This may be due to the sequential arrival of some spider species or their dominance in a certain period of our study.
XIX Congresso Regionale FADOI Campania, Napoli, 5-6 marzo 2020

Il XIX Congresso Regionale della FADOI Campania si terrà il 5 e il 6 marzo 2020 presso l’Auditorium dell’Ospedale Fatebenefratelli di Napoli. Il suo titolo è: “... anche in salita il cammino prosegue”, volto a sottolineare la tenacia delle Medicine Interne Ospedaliere nel volere continuare il loro percorso per migliorare la qualità dell’assistenza, anche tra le mille difficoltà sociali, organizzative, economiche, burocratiche e strutturali tra le quali si dibatte il nostro Sistema Sanitario Nazionale, specialmente nella nostra regione.
Anche quest’anno il XIX Congresso Regionale della FADOI Campania si concentra su aspetti clinici legati alla complessità, fragilità, cronicità, criticità dei pazienti ricoverati nei reparti di Medicina Interna. La sua struttura ricalca sostanzialmente quella dello scorso anno e che ci ha garantito un elevato profilo scientifico e una buona interattività con la platea. Nei due giorni di lavori congressuali il programma prevede quattro sessioni articolate su workshop, presentazione di casi clinici, circa dieci letture, due delle quali tratteranno “patologie rare”, perché l’Internista è lo specialista delle “diagnosi difficili” e che se esistono centri di riferimento per il trattamento di queste patologie, a tali centri queste patologie possono essere indirizzati solo se la diagnosi viene fatta. Questo è, appunto, il compito dell’Internista e, d’altra parte, se tali diagnosi vengono ipotizzate e poi realizzate
forse scopriremo che esse non sono poi “rare” come sembrano. Un’altra lettura sarà dedicata ai prodotti per il fumo a “rischio modificato”, argomento di grande attualità e sul quale è necessario fare conoscenza, per far sì che il fenomeno venga quantomeno gestito dai dottori e non dalla pubblicità delle grandi industrie. Sono previsti sei workshop che affronteranno argomenti di grande attualità, con un coordinatore che guiderà un team di esperti, ai quali verranno posti quesiti d’importante impatto clinico e gestionale, anche dall’uditorio. Vi sarà l’abituale tavola rotonda a quattro voci sulle ultime novità e sui punti di forza degli anticoagulanti orali diretti. In entrambe le giornate il congresso avrà inizio con una sessione di comunicazioni e sarà allestita anche una sessione poster,
in uno spazio dedicato in modo da poter dare ampio respiro anche ai poster. In contemporanea con il Congresso FADOI, nella giornata del 5 marzo si svolgerà il Congresso dell’Associazione Infermieristica ANIMO, con interventi dedicati alla gestione di tecniche infermieristiche (VAC Therapy, NIV, Stomie) che sono ormai quotidianamente
utilizzate nei reparti di Medicina Interna.

Conflicto existencial en La agonía del poeta de Rolando Steiner
Authors: Bonilla Martínez Mayra Josefa 
Published: February 2020

Steiner muestra en su quehacer teatral y es- pecíficamente en esta obra que analizamos una preocupación por el trabajo creador del artista y una soledad interior permanente. Interpretamos el conflicto existencial del personajeprotagonista (Félix) teniendo en cuenta que los existencialistas plantearon problemas relacionados con el sentido de la vida, la elección, responsabilidad personal y el destino del hombre y que el fenómeno ontológico existencial es producto de esos conflictos internos del entorno y los seres que acompañaron al poeta a través de su vida. La visión del mundo plasmada en la obra La Agonía del Poeta, corresponde a la visión del autor que desde el punto de vista religioso presenta a un Félix, temeroso ante lo inesperado, la angustia de vivir,la incertidumbre a lo desconocido y lo que hay después de la muerte. El protagonista experimenta esos dos momentos vitales del ser: la permanencia y la muerte. El primero que significa perpetuarse a través del ideal y pasión que para el fue su proyecto de vida, la poesía y el segundo la muerte, como un hecho ineludible de angustiosa realidad en la cual no tiene elección ni poder para decidir sobre su destino.
Total Ankle Arthroplasty Is Safer Than Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in the Early Postoperative Period
Authors: Bohl Daniel D. , Idarraga Alexander J.P. , Hamid Kamran S. , Holmes George B. , Lin Johnny , Lee Simon 
Published: February 2020

Background:
Total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) are performed more commonly than total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), so patients and the orthopaedic community are more familiar with the likelihood of complications after THA and TKA than after TAA. The present study places early complication rates after TAA in the context of those after THA and TKA.

Methods:
Patients who underwent TAA, THA, or TKA during 2006 to 2016 as part of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program were identified. Multivariate regression was used to compare procedures with adjustment for baseline and anesthesia characteristics.

Results:
One hundred thirty-eight thousand three hundred twenty-five patients underwent THA, 223,587 TKA, and 839 TAA. The total complication rate was lower for TAA (2.98%) compared with THA (4.92%, P = 0.011) and TKA (4.56%, P = 0.049). Similarly, the rate of blood transfusion was lower for TAA (0.48%) compared with THA (9.66%) and TKA (6.44%, P < 0.001 for each). The rate of additional surgery was lower for TAA compared with THA (0.48% versus 1.79%, P = 0.007). Finally, the rate of readmission was lower for TAA (1.45%) compared with THA (3.66%, P = 0.002) and TKA (3.40%, P = 0.005).

Discussion:
Patients can be counseled that relative to THA and TKA, TAA is safer in the perioperative period, with lower rates of adverse events, blood transfusion, additional surgery, and hospital readmission.
El segundo sexo, de Simone de Beauvoir, y el feminismo contemporáneo
Authors: Morant Isabel 
Published: February 2020

El segundo sexo, de Simone de Beauvoir, publicado en 1947, fue un libro revolucionario que hoy seguimos leyendo, como un clásico del pensamiento feminista. En el texto se analiza la historia de este libro; el contexto intelectual que lo inspiro, la novedad de su pensamiento y el escándalo que su aparición produjo, en determinados sectores de la sociedad francesa y española. No se nace mujer; se llega a serlo , la conocida frase de la autora que, el feminismo de los años setenta adoptaría como eslogan, resumen bien el valor epistemológico y político de un libro, que ofrecía un nuevo enfoque para pensar la diferencia de los sexos y la dominación de las mujeres , a la vez que abría una esperanza de cambio para las vidas femeninas.

AbstractObjectiveTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogeneous disease with multiple neurological deficits that evolve over time. It is also associated with an increased incidence of neurodegenerative diseases. Accordingly, clinicians need better tools to predict a patient’s long‐term prognosis.MethodsDiffusion‐weighted and anatomical MRI data were collected from 17 adolescents (mean age = 15y8mo) with moderate‐to‐severe TBI and 19 healthy controls. Using a network diffusion model (NDM), we examined the effect of progressive deafferentation and gray matter thinning in young TBI patients. Moreover, using a novel automated inference method, we identified several injury epicenters in order to determine the neural degenerative patterns in each TBI patient.ResultsWe were able to identify the subject‐specific patterns of degeneration in each patient. In particular, the hippocampus, temporal cortices, and striatum were frequently found to be the epicenters of degeneration across the TBI patients. Orthogonal transformation of the predicted degeneration, using principal component analysis, identified distinct spatial components in the temporal–hippocampal network and the cortico‐striatal network, confirming the vulnerability of these networks to injury. The NDM model, best predictive of the degeneration, was significantly correlated with time since injury, indicating that NDM can potentially capture the pathological progression in the chronic phase of TBI.InterpretationThese findings suggest that network spread may help explain patterns of distant gray matter thinning, which would be consistent with Wallerian degeneration of the white matter connections (i.e., “diaschisis”) from diffuse axonal injuries and multifocal contusive injuries, and the neurodegenerative patterns of abnormal protein aggregation and transmission, which are hallmarks of brain changes in TBI. NDM approaches could provide highly subject‐specific biomarkers relevant for disease monitoring and personalized therapies in TBI.
Bimetal Schottky Heterojunction Boosting Energy‐Saving Hydrogen Production from Alkaline Water via Urea Electrocatalysis
Authors: Wang Chao , Lu Haoliang , Mao Zeyang , Yan Chenglin , Shen Guozhen , Wang Xianfu 
Published: February 2020

AbstractHydrogen production via water electrocatalysis is limited by the sluggish anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) that requires a high overpotential. In response, a urea‐assisted energy‐saving alkaline hydrogen‐production system has been investigated by replacing OER with a more oxidizable urea oxidation reaction (UOR). A bimetal heterostructure CoMn/CoMn2O4 as a bifunctional catalyst is constructed in an alkaline system for both urea oxidation and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Based on the Schottky heterojunction structure, CoMn/CoMn2O4 induces self‐driven charge transfer at the interface, which facilitates the absorption of reactant molecules and the fracture of chemical bonds, therefore triggering the decomposition of water and urea. As a result, the heterostructured electrode exhibits ultralow potentials of −0.069 and 1.32 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode) to reach 10 mA cm−2 for HER and UOR, respectively, in alkaline solution, and the full urea electrolysis driven by CoMn/CoMn2O4 delivers 10 mA cm−2 at a relatively low potential of 1.51 V and performs stably for more than 15 h. This represents a novel strategy of Mott–Schottky hybrids in electrocatalysts and should inspire the development of sustainable energy conversion by combining hydrogen production and sewage treatment.

Published: February 2020

AbstractOrganic redox‐active molecules are inborn electrodes to store large‐radius potassium (K) ion. High‐performance organic cathodes are important for practical usage of organic potassium‐ion batteries (OPIBs). However, small‐molecule organic cathodes face serious dissolution problems against liquid electrolytes. A novel insoluble small‐molecule organic cathode [N,N′‐bis(2‐anthraquinone)]‐perylene‐3,4,9,10‐tetracarboxydiimide (PTCDI‐DAQ, 200 mAh g−1) is initially designed for OPIBs. In half cells (1–3.8 V vs K+/K) using 1 m KPF6 in dimethoxyethane (DME), PTCDI‐DAQ delivers a highly stable specific capacity of 216 mAh g−1 and still holds the value of 133 mAh g−1 at an ultrahigh current density of 20 A g−1 (100 C). Using reduced potassium terephthalate (K4TP) as the organic anode, the resulting K4TP||PTCDI‐DAQ OPIBs with the electrolyte 1 m KPF6 in DME realize a high energy density of maximum 295 Wh kg−1cathode (213 mAh g−1cathode × 1.38 V) and power density of 13 800 W Kg−1cathode (94 mAh g−1 × 1.38 V @ 10 A g−1) during the working voltage of 0.2–3.2 V. Meanwhile, K4TP||PTCDI‐DAQ OPIBs fulfill the superlong lifespan with a stable discharge capacity of 62 mAh g−1cathode after 10 000 cycles and 40 mAh g−1cathode after 30 000 cycles (3 A g−1). The integrated performance of PTCDI‐DAQ can currently defeat any cathode reported in K‐ion half/full cells.

Published: February 2020

AbstractIn gas sensor technology, current research efforts are focused on developing a high performance miniaturized gas sensor operating at room temperature. In recent years, layered semiconducting material MoS2 has gained vast attention in sensing field owing to the detection of a variety of analytes at room temperature, high surface‐to‐volume ratio, and also provided substantial advantages in emerging flexible and wearable sensing field. Herein, a state‐of‐art overview of the utilization of burgeoning MoS2 research in gas sensing applications is provided. The synthesis of some exciting different nanostructures and hybrids of the MoS2 on a rigid as well as flexible substrate is summarized, as they play an important role in tuning the gas sensing characteristic of the MoS2. The gas sensing performance of the MoS2 sensors with proposed mechanisms is discussed in the context of a wide range of different morphologies/nanostructures, nanocomposites, van der Waals heterostructures, and photoactivation effects. Moreover, rapid advances and growing significance of the MoS2 on the emerging flexible gas sensing platform are also highlighted. Finally, some insights into new challenges and future perspectives in the promising MoS2 research for gas sensing applications are presented.
Coverage‐Controlled Superstructures of C3‐Symmetric Molecules: Honeycomb versus Hexagonal Tiling
Authors: Jasper‐Tönnies Torben , Gruber Manuel , Ulrich Sandra , Herges Rainer , Berndt Richard 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe competition between honeycomb and hexagonal tiling of molecular units can lead to large honeycomb superstructures on surfaces. Such superstructures exhibit pores that may be used as 2D templates for functional guest molecules. Honeycomb superstructures of molecules that comprise a C3 symmetric platform on Au(111) and Ag(111) surfaces are presented. The superstructures cover nearly mesoscopic areas with unit cells containing up to 3000 molecules, more than an order of magnitude larger than previously reported. The unit cell size may be controlled by the coverage. A fairly general model was developed to describe the energetics of honeycomb superstructures built from C3 symmetric units. Based on three parameters that characterize two competing bonding arrangements, the model is consistent with the present experimental data and also reproduces various published results. The model identifies the relevant driving force, mostly related to geometric aspects, of the pattern formation.

Published: February 2020

AbstractThree metal oxides (MOs) (Fe2O3, Sb2O3, Al2O3) were incorporated into blends of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR)/ammonium polyphosphate (APP) composites with the aim of studying and comparing their synergistic effect on flame retardancy with APP. The UPR‐APP/MOs composites were prepared, then the thermal stability and flame‐retardant properties of the UPR composites were evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL‐94), and cone calorimetry test (CCT). Besides, residues after CCT were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and laser Raman spectroscopy. The LOI values of the UPR composites with 0.5 wt% MOs increased to around 40%. However, the CCT results indicated that the incorporation of Sb2O3brought an increase in the total heat release. Moreover, these three MOs had different effects on the process of thermal degradation of UPR composites from the TGA results. Based on the above results, Al2O3provided a best promotion on flame retardancy among three MOs.
A mechanistic investigation of the directional entrapping modification on the semicrystalline polypropylene surface

Published: February 2020

AbstractThis article concerns a detailed mechanistic investigation of the directional entrapping modification on the polypropylene (PP) surface, when stearyl‐alcohol poly(ethylene oxide) ether (AEO) was applied as the modifier. The results of swelling degree and contact angle are found to exhibit similar evolutions as functions of swelling temperatures and swelling time, revealing that the modifier implantation is closely related to the swelling level of swollen PP. A solvent‐induced crystallization (SINC) and a subsequent crystalline collapse are indicated to occur during surface swelling. Both the amorphous regions on PP surfaces and the microvoids induced by SINC are suggested to contribute to surface swelling and to provide embedding sites for modifier implantation. XRD and DSC analyses reveal a considerably homogeneous distribution of the stearyl segments of AEO in modified surfaces and confirm that the stearyl chain is partially compatible with PP. A thermodynamically stable phase‐mixed structure of modified PP is proposed. The mechanistic investigation gives comprehensive insights into the directional entrapping modification and is significant for the extensive applications of the entrapping method for semicrystalline polymers.

AbstractA bis‐triarylborane tetracation (4‐Ar2B‐3,5‐Me2C6H2)‐C≡C−C≡C‐(3,5‐Me2C6H2‐4‐BAr2[Ar=(2,6‐Me2‐4‐NMe3‐C6H2)+] (24+) shows distinctly different behaviour in its fluorimetric response than that of our recently published bis‐triarylborane 5‐(4‐Ar2B‐3,5‐Me2C6H2)‐2,2′‐(C4H2S)2–5′‐(3,5‐Me2C6H2‐4‐BAr2) (34+). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data on the neutral bis‐triarylborane precursor2 Nconfirm its rod‐like dumbbell structure, which is shown to be important for DNA/RNA targeting and also for BSA protein binding. Fluorimetric titrations with DNA/RNA/BSA revealed the very strong affinity of24+and indicated the importance of the properties of the linker connecting the two triarylboranes. Using the butadiyne rather than a bithiophene linker resulted in an opposite emission effect (quenching vs. enhancement), and24+bound to BSA 100 times stronger than34+. Moreover,24+interacted strongly with ss‐RNA, and circular dichroism (CD) results suggest ss‐RNA chain‐wrapping around the rod‐like bis‐triarylborane dumbbell structure like a thread around a spindle, a very unusual mode of binding of ss‐RNA with small molecules. Furthermore,24+yielded strong Raman/SERS signals, allowing DNA or protein detection at ca. 10 nmconcentrations. The above observations, combined with low cytotoxicity, efficient human cell uptake and organelle‐selective accumulation make such compounds intriguing novel lead structures for bio‐oriented, dual fluorescence/Raman‐based applications.

AbstractMessenger RNA display of peptides containing non‐proteinogenic amino acids, referred to as RaPID system, has become one of the leading methods to express libraries consisting of more than trillion‐members of macrocyclic peptides, which allows for discovering de novo bioactive ligands. Ideal macrocyclic peptides should have dissociation constants (KD) as low as single‐digit values in the nanomolar range towards a specific target of interest. Here, a twofold strategy to discover optimized macrocyclic peptides within this affinity regime is described. First, benzyl thioether cyclized peptide libraries were explored to identify tight binding hits. To obtain more insights into critical sequence information, sequence alignment was applied to guide rational mutagenesis for the improvement of their binding affinity. Using this twofold strategy, benzyl thioether macrocyclic peptide binders against Lys48‐linked ubiquitin dimer (K48‐Ub2) were successfully obtained that display KD values in the range 0.3–1.2 nm, which indicate binding two orders of magnitude stronger than those of macrocyclic peptides recently reported. Most importantly, this macrocyclic peptide also showed an improved cellular inhibition of the K48‐Ub2 recognition by deubiquitinating enzymes and the 26S proteasome, resulting in the promotion of apoptosis in cancer cells.

AbstractTwo novel helical poly(phenylacetylene) derivatives containing chiral phenylethyl carbamate residues in the end of each side chain (PPA‐S and PPA‐R) were synthesized by polymerization of the corresponding phenylacetylene monomers using Rh(nbd)BPh4 as a catalyst in DMF. The enantioseparation properties of the polymers were evaluated as coated‐type chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Under the same chromatographic conditions, PPA‐S and PPA‐R showed different enantioseparation properties, indicating that the different interactions between the analytes and the polymers, which result from the different chiral phenylethyl carbamate groups in the end of each side chains. Racemates 1, 7, and 8 could be better resolved on PPA‐S, while racemate 6 was separated on PPA‐R more efficiently. In addition, the coated‐type CSPs showed good solvent tolerability and could work without any damage by introducing the polar solvents, such as CHCl3 and THF, in eluent. Moreover, some racemates could be better resolved on these coated‐type CSPs with the addition of THF to the eluent.
