Abstract
Purpose: To find the best short-term daily rhEPO-based treatment protocols for blood-saving purpose in THA.Method: The patients were randomized to 1 of 3 interventions: Patients in group A received 10,000 IU (150IU/kg) of subcutaneous rhEPO (1 ml) daily from 5 days preoperatively to 3 days postoperatively (9 doses in total); Patients in group B received 1 ml of subcutaneous normal saline daily from 5 days preoperatively to 4 days preoperatively and then 10,000 IU (150IU/kg) of subcutaneous rhEPO daily till 3 days postoperatively (6 doses in total). Patients in group C received 1 ml of subcutaneous normal saline daily from 5 days preoperatively to one day preoperatively and then 10,000 IU (150IU/kg) of subcutaneous rhEPO daily from the day of surgery to 3 days postoperatively (4 doses in total). Results: 180 patients were included. On postoperative day one, patients in the group A showed significantly higher Hb level (108.4±11.4 g/L) than group B and C (107.8±8.4 and 103.9±8.8 g/L, respectively) (p<0.001), the Hb level in group B was also markedly higher than in group C (p=0.045). On postoperative day 3, no significant difference was found between group B and C in Hb level (98.7±10.5 and 94.9±8.7 g/L, respectively) (p=0.094), but the Hb level in group A (103.6±11.0 g/L) was still markedly higher than in group B and C. In terms of blood loss, no markedly difference was found in intraoperative blood loss among group A, B and C (78.3±22.4, 84.6±29.1, and 80.3±23.9 ml, respectively) (p=0.381), but on postoperative day one, the mean blood loss was significantly more in groups B and C (371.2±124.6, and 522.4±189.4 ml, respectively) than in group A (284.8±112.9 ml) (p<0.001), and group B had significantly less blood loss than group C (p<0.001). With respect to the total blood loss, group B and C had markedly more total blood loss (642.6±232.9, and 881.6±314.9 ml, respectively) than group A (514.5±204.6 ml) and group B had significantly less blood loss than group C (p<0.001) (Table 2). Only 2 patients in each group received allogeneic blood transfusion and each patient received 2 units of red blood cells, so, the transfusion requirements among the three groups were comparable.Conclusions: Daily small-dose of subcutaneous rhEPO administered from 5 days before THA could significantly decrease perioperative blood loss and improve postoperative Hb levels, without increasing risks of complications, when compared with the application of rhEPO from 3 days before THA or from the day of surgery. Therefore, we recommend the more practical and highly effective therapeutic regimen of small-dose of subcutaneous rhEPO daily from 5 days preoperatively to 3 days postoperatively for patients scheduled for THA.

Abstract
Objective

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of gasless reduced-port laparoscopic surgery (GRP-LS) using a 5 mm endoscopic port and one surgical port for the treatment of gynecological diseases
Methods

We compared GRP-LS and gasless 3-port laparoscopic surgery (G3P-LS), based on patient background, operative procedures, number of surgeries performed by the surgeon, length of surgery, blood loss, blood transfusion, conversion rate to open surgery, operative complications, and the number of surgeons involved in the procedure. We compared the two techniques in patients being treated for laparoscopic myomectomy (LM), laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy (LC), and laparoscopic salpingectomy (LT).
Results

GRP-LS was used in 2,338 cases and G3P-LS in 2,473 cases. GRP-LS was used in 980 LM cases (41.9%); 804 LC cases (34.4%); 240 LT cases (10.3%); 180 LA cases (7.7%); and 134 cases for other conditions (5.7%). GRP-LS was used by 78 surgeons; 85.9% of the surgeons had performed fewer than 50 GRP-LS surgeries in their careers; and those surgeons performed about half of all surgeries. The time required for GRP-LS was significantly less for LM, LC, LT, and the procedure also had less blood loss for LM and LC than G3P-LS. G3P-LS required a transition to open surgery in 0.69% of cases, whereas GRP-LS showed a very low rate of 0.09%.
Conclusions

GRP-LS is a new type of laparoscopic surgery that has overcome disadvantages of the previous lifting methods (G3P-LS) and is easier to learn, allowing inexperienced laparoscopic surgeons to effectively perform the surgery.

Abstract
A heterogeneous wireless network (HWN) environment contains many kinds of wireless networks, such as UMTS, LTE, and WLAN, where users move around within their coverage area. How to ensure mobile users select the most suitable network is a hot research topic for HWNs. While traditional access selection algorithms assume that mobile users can obtain accurate network attribute values, the network attribute values obtained by mobile users are often uncertain due to the mobility of users, the interference of wireless signals, and the fluctuation of the network state. To solve this problem, this paper designs an access selection algorithm for HWNs in the context of inaccurate network attribute values. First, the algorithm calculates the network attribute values based on the hesitant fuzzy theory, then calculates the weights of network attributes using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), and finally sorts the candidate networks using the hesitant fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method. The simulation results show the proposed algorithm enables users to select the most suitable network to access under the inaccurate network attribute environment and obtain higher gains.

Examining Factors Related to the Autism Spectrum Disorder Training of Graduate Programs Approved By the National Association of School Psychologists
Authors: Ruark Chelsey 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
More and more students are being identified with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and they often require evidence-based practices for assessments and interventions in the school setting. However, many school psychologists do not have extensive graduate training in ASD, even though they are often required to provide these services. This study explored the websites of programs approved by the National Association of School Psychologists to examine the relationship between ASD-specific course requirements with program faculty experience and program level. NASP-approved graduate programs were gathered and coded for program level, the number of faculty with ASD-related experience, and the number of ASD-specific courses. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the results of the data collected from the 192 NASP-approved programs. Results from the regression show that faculty with ASD-related experience and training program level account for 9.4% of the variance in ASD-specific courses. There was a significant and positive correlation between ASD-specific courses and faculty with ASD-related experience, as well as between ASD-specific courses and training programs with both specialist- and doctoral-levels. These findings align with previous literature on the lack of graduate training in ASD, as well as the impact of faculty on this training availability. It is suggested that programs incorporate more ASD training in their curriculum to better support school psychology practitioners while working with students on the spectrum in schools.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
As one of the developing countries, China's export trade mode (ETM) has gradually shifted from processing trade to general trade. Is the deterioration of China's environmental pollution caused by the transformation of ETM? Based on the panel data from 194 cities in China from 2000 to 2016, this paper investigates the impact of ETM transformation on the environmental pollution and its internal mechanism. The results show that: the ETM is gradually shifting from processing trade to general trade, environmental pollution will deteriorate first and then improve, that is, showing a significant “inverted U-shaped” relationship between the transformation of ETM and environmental pollution. Through the robustness test of the threshold, and SYS-GMM model, the results are still valid. The mechanism research shows that the upgrading of industrial structure, energy structure, industrial agglomeration, environmental protection investment and resource allocation are the main mechanism that the transformation of ETM affect environmental pollution. The conclusions of this study can provide empirical evidence for the process that the environmental pollution level of developing countries deteriorated and then improved during the process of transforming from processing export trade to general export trade.
Change In the Level of Microseismic Noise During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Russian Far East
Authors: Boginskaya Natalya , Kostylev Dmitry 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, many seismologists all over the world have noted a sharp (up to 30-50%) decrease in the daily background seismic noise during the period from March to May, 2020 [Lecocqetal., 2020]. The authors studied the influence of the self-isolation regime introduced in the Russian Federation from March 30, 2020 [On the declaring ..., 2020] and, as a consequence, the restriction of the work of public institutions and the mobility of the population, on the quality of seismological observations at seismic stations in large cities of the Russian Far East for the period from March 23, 2020 to April 12, 2020. The work analyses the records of seismic noise by the seismic stations of Khabarovsk and Vladivostok located in busy parts of the cities and, accordingly, strongly influenced by anthropogenic impact, as well as it analyses the records of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk seismic station located in the relatively «calm» part of the city. Power spectra and temporal variations of microseismic noise levels for the listed above seismic stations were constructed based on the data of broadband seismometers records in the range of 1-20 Hz. The analysis of noise level variations with the data on the population mobility was carried out on the basis of self-isolation index by Yandex, which shows the level of town activity over a selected period. The main sources of the increased microseismic noise at seismic stations were identified.
Emergency Department Visits and Trends Related to Cocaine, Psychostimulants, and Opioids in the United States, 2008-2018
Authors: Suen Leslie W. , Davy-Mendez Thibaut , LeSaint Kathy T. , Riley Elise D. , Coffin Phillip 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Background
Drug-related emergency department (ED) visits are escalating, especially for stimulant use (i.e., cocaine and psychostimulants such as methamphetamine). We sought to characterize rates, presentation, and management of US ED visits related to cocaine and psychostimulant use, compared to opioid use.
Methods
We used 2008–2018 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data to identify a nationally representative sample of ED visits related to cocaine and psychostimulant use, with opioids as the comparator. We excluded visits related to ≥2 of the three possible drug categories. We estimated annual rate trends using unadjusted Poisson regression; described demographics, presenting concerns, and management; and determined associations between drug-type and presenting concerns (categorized as psychiatric, neurologic, cardiopulmonary, and drug toxicity/withdrawal) using logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and homelessness.
Results
Cocaine-related ED visits did not significantly increase, while psychostimulant-related ED visits increased from 2008 to 2018 (2.2 visits per 10,000 population to 12.9 visits per 10,000 population; p < 0.001). Cocaine-related ED visits had higher usage of cardiac testing, while psychostimulant-related ED visits had higher usage of chemical restraints than opioid-related ED visits. Cocaine- and psychostimulant-related ED visits had greater odds of presenting with cardiopulmonary concerns (cocaine adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.95, 95% CI 1.70–5.13; psychostimulant aOR 2.46, 95% CI 1.42–4.26), while psychostimulant-related visits had greater odds of presenting with psychiatric concerns (aOR 2.69; 95% CI 1.83–3.95) and lower odds of presenting with drug toxicity/withdrawal concerns (aOR 0.47, 95%CI 0.30–0.73) compared to opioid-related ED visits.
Conclusion
Presentations for stimulant-related ED visits differ from opioid-related ED visits: compared to opioids, ED presentations related to cocaine and psychostimulants are less often identified as related to drug toxicity/withdrawal and more often require interventions to address acute cardiopulmonary and psychiatric complications.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Conductive hydrogel (CH) strain sensors have made significant progress in wearable electronic products in recent years. However, the use of aqueous solvents as the dispersion medium in CHs largely limits the scope of applications of CHs and impedes the combination of the mechanical properties and ionic conductivity, which is urgently desired to be addressed. Herein, a simple one-pot preparation of anti-freezing, anti-drying ionic CHs with high stretchability (up to 869%), toughness (6.60 MJ/m3), and Young's modulus (0.56 MPa) was proposed. These CHs consist of polyvinyl alcohol, tannic acid, and sodium chloride dispersed in a solvent consisting of glycerol and cellulose nanofiber suspension. The thus-synthesized CHs exhibit good ionic conductivity (~ 0.86 S/m) and strain sensitivity (gauge factor of 8.54). The organohydrogel possesses a sensitive strain sensing capability and a wide-working temperature range (-50°C to 60°C), and good stability (30 d in room-temperature) to detect human movement, such as large (joint movement) and subtle movements (voice in the throat). These advantages allow organohydrogel sensors to show great potential for electronic skin, personal healthcare, and flexible wearable devices.

Abstract
Title: The psychological impact of paediatric burn injuries: a systematic reviewObjective To review and synthesise qualitative literature regarding the psychological outcomes following paediatric burn injuries, and to determine if children and adolescents who experience a burn injury have elevated risk of psychopathology following the injury.Design: Systematic review of quantitative and qualitative studies.Data sources: Informit health, Medline, Embase, and PsycINFO were searched from January 2010 to December 2020.Data extraction and synthesis: Two reviewers screened articles, and one reviewer extracted data (with cross-checking from another reviewer) from the included studies and assessed quality using an established tool. Narrative synthesis was used to synthesise the findings from the quantitative studies, and thematic synthesis was used to synthesise the findings of included qualitative studies.Results: Searches yielded 1240 unique titles, with 130 retained for full-text screening. Forty-five studies from 17 countries were included. The psychological outcomes included in the studies were mental health diagnoses, medication for mental illness, depression, anxiety, stress, fear, post-traumatic stress, post-traumatic growth, emotional issues, self-harm, self-esteem, self-concept, stigmatisation, quality of life, level of disability, resilience, coping, and suicidality.Conclusions: Our findings highlight paediatric burn patients as a particularly vulnerable population following the burn injury. Studies suggest elevated anxiety and traumatic stress symptoms, and higher rates of psychopathology in the long-term. Further research is recommended to determine the psychological outcomes in the other mental health domains highlighted in this review, as findings were mixed.Clinical care teams responsible for the aftercare of burn patients should involve psychological support for the children and families to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Background: Due to the limited research examining the psychological impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), our study aims to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological outcomes and assess the differences between participants with and without post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the psychological outcomes as latent factors and items. Methods: An online survey was conducted on 999 participants. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) assessed the psychological impact, while outcomes were measured by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). A series of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), structural equation model (SEM), Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes (MIMIC), and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) were conducted. Results: The IES-R has significant effects on the psychological outcomes. Participants with PTSD have a higher impact on latent factors (depression, anxiety, and insomnia) than those without PTSD. Among participants, 36.5% experienced moderate to severe symptoms of depression, and 32.6% had mild depressive symptoms. For anxiety, 23.7% of respondents experienced moderate to severe anxiety symptoms, and 33.1% had mild symptoms of anxiety. For the ISI, 51.5% of participants experienced symptoms of insomnia. Conclusion: the IES-R for COVID-19 has a significant impact on depression, anxiety, and insomnia at the level of latent constructs and observed variables.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Background
Results of previous studies regarding pelvic sepsis after Hartmann’s procedure (HP) for rectal cancer have been inconsistent and few studies report the risk factors. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of pelvic sepsis after HP, identify risk factors and describe when as well as how pelvic sepsis was diagnosed and treated.
Methods
Data were collected from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry on all patients undergoing HP for rectal cancer in the county of Skåne from 2007–2017. Patients diagnosed with pelvic sepsis were compared with patients without pelvic sepsis and risk factors for developing pelvic sepsis were analysed in a multivariable model.
Results
A total of 252 patients were included in the study, with 149 (59%) males, and a median age of 75 years (range 20–92). Altogether, 27 patients (11%) were diagnosed with pelvic sepsis. Risk factors for developing pelvic sepsis were neoadjuvant radiotherapy (OR 7.96, 95% CI 2.54–35.36) and BMI over 25 kg/m2 (OR 5.26, 95% CI 1.80–19.50). Median time from operation to diagnosis was 21 days (range 5-355) with 11 (40%) patients diagnosed beyond 30 days postoperatively. The majority of cases 19 (70%) were treated conservatively and none needed major surgery.
Conclusion
Pelvic sepsis occurred in 11% of patients. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and higher BMI were significant risk factors for developing pelvic sepsis. Forty percent of patients were diagnosed later than 30 days postoperatively and most patients were successfully treated conservatively. Our findings suggest that HP is a valid treatment option for rectal cancer when anastomosis is inappropriate, even in patients receiving neoadjuvant radiotherapy.

Abstract
Background

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent chronic liver diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined weight loss diet and cranberry supplementation on inflammatory, antioxidant and apoptosis biomarkers in patients with NAFLD.
Methods

In this randomized, double-blinded, controlled clinical trial, 41 NAFLD patients were supplemented with either a 288-mg cranberry tablet or a placebo tablet for 12 weeks. Both groups followed a diet of 500–1000 calories less than the estimated energy requirements. Serum levels of Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), Malondialdehyde (MDA), Cytokeratin 18-M30 (CK-18 M30), Chemokine C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) and Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were measured at both baseline and the end of the study.
Results

Significant improvements in TAC were observed in the cranberry group and between the two groups (p = 0.006 and p = 0.011 respectively), but the changes in the placebo group were not significant (p = 0.325). There were no statistically significant differences in the serum levels of MDA, CK-18 M30, CCL2 and TNF-α between the cranberry and the placebo groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusions

It seems that daily consumption of cranberry supplement would be beneficial in increasing serum levels of TAC. Further studies are needed to investigate the effects of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of cranberry on NAFLD.
