Abstract
Objectives
Initial public health guidance related to sex and COVID-19 infection focused on reducing partner number. We characterized individuals having a higher partner number during the initial phases of the pandemic.

Methods
In British Columbia, the initial wave of COVID-19 cases was from March 14 to May 19, 2020, followed by gradual lifting of public health restrictions. We conducted an e-mail survey of existing sexual health service clients during the period of July 23 to August 4, 2020. We used bivariate logistic regression to examine the association between the reported number of sexual partners since the start of the pandemic and key variables (level of significance p < 0.01).

Results
Of the 1196 clients in our final sample, 42% reported 2+ partners since the start of the pandemic, with higher odds among participants who were men who have sex with men, and single or in open relationships prior to the pandemic. This group was more likely to perceive stigma associated with having sex during the pandemic, and had the highest use of strategies to reduce risk of COVID-19 infection during sexual encounters (mainly focused on reducing/avoiding partners, such as masturbation, limiting sex to a “bubble”, and not having sex).

Conclusion
Sexual health service clients in BC with 2+ partners during the initial phases of BC’s pandemic used strategies to reduce their risk of COVID-19 infection during sex. Our study provides support for a harm reduction approach to guidance on COVID-19 risk during sex, and highlights the need for further research on stigma related to having sex during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: November 2021

Although conscience, as an ethical concept, has emerged widely in the field of nursing, its functional meaning and its effects on nurses' performance are not clear. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the concept of conscience in the context of Iranian nurses’ ethical performance.
This study used a hybrid model including theoretical, fieldwork, and final analytic stages. In the theoretical phase, English and Persian articles published up to 2020 and indexed by scientific databases were analyzed. In the fieldwork phase, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted on nurse participants. The last two stages were jointly considered to draw the study’s conclusions.
In the theoretical phase, conscience was considered as a context-dependent concept, an inner voice, and a criterion for distinguishing right from wrong. The fieldwork phase’ results were categorized into three themes: “perception of conscience”, “commands of conscience”, and “obedience to conscience. The final definition was reached by merging the theoretical and field stages.
This article aimed at investigating the relevance of conscience to ethical practice in the nursing field. Findings show that conscience is an inner feeling or voice that plays a vital role in providing ethical care by nurses.
Development of the policy of control over unrecorded alcohol in Russia in the period after 1991
Authors: Gil A. U. , Khalfin R. A. 
Published: November 2021

Relevance. Unrecorded alcohol in Russia includes a variety of sources of cheap, often highly concentrated, ethanol, the use of which is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and death. Since 1991, various changes in the policy of control of unrecorded alcohol in Russia have been made, which became the subject of the analysis of this work.Methods. The paper provides a narrative review and analysis of the regulation of unrecorded alcohol in Russia in the period from 1991 to 2021. The sources of information on legislative regulation were the ConsultantPlus and Garant electronic legal reference systems, published key scientific papers and reports of international organizations on the topic of alcohol regulation, and our own analysis of alcohol policy.Results. During the study period, there was a large-scale restructuring of the regulation of the sphere of alcohol, including unrecorded alcohol, in Russia in the conditions of a new market economy. After the abolition of the Soviet alcohol monopoly and the regulatory pause of the first half of the 1990s, since 1995, the new legislative framework has been developed aimed at strengthening state control over the production and distribution of alcohol. In subsequent years, increased control over unrecorded alcohol by improving federal law No. 171-FZ, tougher sanctions for acts in the field of illegal production and distribution of alcohol through the improvement of the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the introduction of minimum prices for alcoholic beverages, have been made. An electronic system for monitoring the volumes of produced and sold alcoholic beverages was introduced, the Federal Service for the Regulation of the Alcohol Market was established, and bans were introduced on the sale of alcohol-containing products with a low unit cost of ethanol.Conclusions. Overall, the policy on the control of unrecorded alcohol in Russia in the period after 1991 from the standpoint of public health can be characterized as positive and in line with international standards. However, it is necessary to strengthen control over the implementation of the already existing alcohol control policy measures, as well as to develop and implement new measures aimed at controlling unrecorded medicinal/pharmaceutical alcohol, medicinal alcohol-containing products, illegal alcoholic beverages and non-beverage products used as alcohol surrogates.

Published: November 2021

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) have a risk of COVID-19 transmission. The pesantren learning system is generally carried out collectively and the interaction between teachers and students is almost 24 hours. This community service aims to empower pesantren in efforts to prevent and control COVID-19 so that they become a safe learning place from the spread of COVID-19. The design of this study was a case study on the empowerment of pesantren in the prevention and control of COVID-19. Study located at a traditional Islamic boarding school (salafiah) in Lebak Regency, Banten. The target of the study consists of pesantren leader, teachers (ustadz/ustadzah) and students (97 people), and community service partners consist of the sub-district Public Health Center and the sub district COVID-19 Task Force. The results of this study showed that controlling COVID-19 in pesantren requires the commitment of pesantren leaders through the establishment of pesantren COVID-19 task force and requires partnerships with relevant stakeholders. Health literacy needs to be improved especially the implementation of health protocols and information on clean and healthy living behavior. There were obstacles in handling COVID-19, especially: social distancing, infrastructure, and funding. This study recommended that the empowerment of pesantren residents (teachers and students) related to health literacy, and it is necessary to make people aware that COVID-19 is everyone's responsibility. The Government should pay serious attention to pesantren as boarding educational institutions where interaction between students is almost 24 hours, to prevent pesantren from becoming clusters of the spread of COVID-19.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Hair-follicle-associated pluripotent (HAP) stem cells express nestin, and are located in the bulge area of hair follicles and can differentiate to numerous types of cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that rat HAP stem cells simultaneously differentiated to mature cardiomyocytes and atrial myocytes. The addition of isoproterenol, activin A, bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP 4), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and cyclosporin A (CSA), induced simultaneously differentiation of HAP stem cells to c-kit-positive cardiomyocytes and MLC-2a-expressing atrial myocytes. The results of the present study suggest that HAP stem cells differentiating to cardiomyocytes and atrial myocytes have future clinical potential for heart regeneration.

Abstract
Background

Modulations on gut microbiota by traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and their active components are emerging as potential therapeutic agents on diabetes. Litsea glutinosa is a TCM used in clinic to treat diabetes with alkaloids as the active constituents, and the Laurolitsine is the richest one.
Purpose

Based on that, this study was designed to identify the potential capability of Laurolitsine on alleviating Type 2 diabetes and the changes of the composition of intestinal flora related to this disease.
Methods

In present study, Laurolitsine was administered to diabetic mice (db/db) by daily oral gavage at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks. The body weight, fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT), lipid metabolism of serum and liver and liver function were measured to assess the anti-hyperglycemic and anti-hyperlipidemic effects of Laurolitsine. The liver pathological changes were observed by HE staining. Meanwhile, the effects of Laurolitsine on the changes of the composition of gut microbiota in mice were investigated via metagenomic analysis.
Results

Experimental results show that different doses of Laurolitsine have varying degrees of hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. Among them, the treatment effect of 200mg·Kg-1 is the most obvious. In addition, Laurolitsine changes the structure of intestinal microflora significantly at various taxonomical levels in the diabetic db/db mice.
Conclusions

These results demonstrate that Laurolitsine may regulate glucose and lipid metabolism and improve diabetes through modulating intestinal microflora of Parabacteroides and Mucispirillum, which may be acknowledged as the iconic bacteria of diabetes.

Abstract
ObjectiveThe new generation of sequencing technology has been applied to the study of genomic genetic characteristics of urothelial carcinoma for 20 years. Researchers at home and abroad have done a lot of research work. Analyzing and summarizing the research results, we can clarify the genes with high-frequency mutations, which is of great significance for the screening of biomarkers and molecular targets of urothelial carcinoma.Method We will adopt the PICOS analysis method of evidence-based medicine; follow the principles of systematic evaluation and meta-analysis; formulate literature retrieval keywords and retrieval strategies; determine the inclusion criteria; and statistically analyze the name, mutation frequency, quantity, and the total number of times in repeated reports of significant mutant genes in the genomic landscape.Results A total of 6254 cases of urothelial carcinoma were sequenced in the 27 theses selected. Sequencing methods include whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, and target exome sequencing. 27 genomic landscapes of urothelial carcinoma showed that the number of significant mutant genes was 5-58, with an average of 26 reported in each paper. There were 273 genes with significant mutations in urothelial carcinoma, 65.57% (179 / 273) of which were reported only once and 34.43% (94 / 273) were reported more than twice. The top 7 genes most frequently reported were TP53, PIK3CA, FGFR3, KDM6A, ARID1A , RB1 and STAG2.Conclusion There were 273 genes with significant mutations in the genome of urothelial carcinoma, and biomarkers may be selected from 94 genes with high-frequency of mutations.

Abstract
BackgroundPoverty and mental illness are strongly associated. The aim of this study was to investigate the economic impact of implementing a district level integrated mental healthcare plan for people with severe mental disorders (SMD) and depression compared to secular trends in the general population in a rural Ethiopian setting.MethodsA community-based, controlled before-after study design was used to assess changes in household economic status and catastrophic out-of-pocket (OOP) payments in relation to expanded access to mental health care. Two household samples were recruited, each with a community control group: (1) SMD sub-study and (2) depression sub-study. In the SMD sub-study, 290 households containing a member with SMD and 289 comparison households without a person with SMD participated. In the depression sub-study, 129 households with a person with depression and 129 comparison households. The case and comparison cohorts were followed up over 12 months. Propensity score matching and multivariable regression analyses were conducted. ResultsProvision of mental healthcare in the district was associated with a greater increase in income (Birr 919.53, 95% CI: 34.49, 4573.56) but no significant changes in consumption expenditure (Birr 176.25, 95% CI: -1338.19, 1690.70) in households of people with SMD compared to secular trends in comparison households. In households of people with depression, there was no significant change in income (Birr 227.78, 95% CI: -1361.21, 1816.79) or consumption expenditure (Birr -81.20, 95% CI: -2572.57, 2410.15). The proportion of households incurring catastrophic OOP payments at the ≥10% and ≥40% thresholds were significantly reduced after the intervention in the SMD (from 20.3% to 9.0%, p=0.002, and 31.9% to 14.9%, p< 0.001) and in the depression intervention (from 19.6% to 5.3%, p=0.003, and 25.2% to 11.8%, p= 0.015). Nonetheless, households of persons with SMD or depression remained impoverished relative to comparison groups at follow-up. Households of people with SMD and depression were significantly less likely to be enrolled in community-based health insurance (CBHI) than comparison households. ConclusionsOur findings support global initiatives to scale up mental healthcare as part of universal health coverage initiatives, alongside interventions to support social inclusion and targeted financial protection for vulnerable households.

Authors: Ren Peng , Chen Chao , Yang Xiuchun 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Supercapacitor is an emerging and essential energy storage device to supply energy for human activities. Optimizing electrode materials is necessary for the development of high-performance supercapacitors. Herein, we synthesize different nanostructured MnO2-TiN nanotube arrays electrode materials and discuss their electrochemical performance. The synergistic effects of TiN with high conductivity and MnO2 with high capacitance can extremely enhance the electrochemical performance of the electrode material. The specific capacitance of δ-MnO2 nanosheets-TiN nanotube arrays can reach to 689.88 F•g−1 with good magnification capacity and electron/ion transport properties. Its internal resistance and the charge transfer resistance are low as 1.183 Ω and 52.23 Ω, respectively, indicating the excellent electronic conductivity and electron diffusion. In terms of charging-discharging cycle stability, the specific capacitance retention rates are 97.2% and 82.4 % of initial capacitance after 100 and 500 cycles, respectively.
