Vibrio‐ or rod‐shaped cells, 0.5–1.6 × 1.5–5.0 μm. Occur singly or in pairs. Spore formation is absent. Stain Gram‐negative. Motile by means of single polar flagellum. Strictly anaerobic, having both respiratory and fermentative types of metabolism. Chemoorganotrophs, using lactate, pyruvate, ethanol, some species also fumarate, succinate, and malate as electron donors and carbon sources; organic compounds are incompletely oxidized to acetate. All species can use various alcohols, which are oxidized to their corresponding carboxylic acids. H

can serve as an electron donor in the presence of acetate as an organic carbon source (chemolithoheterotrophic growth) by most species. Formate can be used in the presence of acetate by most species. Sulfate, thiosulfate, and sulfite serve as terminal electron acceptors and are reduced to sulfide. Fumarate is used as electron donor or acceptor and for fermentation by a few species. In the absence of an external electron acceptor, growth may occur by fermentation of pyruvate, malate, or fumarate. Mesophilic, the optimum temperature for growth is 29–37°C. Neutrophilic, the optimum pH for growth is 6.8–8.0. NaCl is not required for growth, although some species tolerate high levels. Media containing a reductant are required for growth. Cells usually contain

Published: March 2021

AbstractThe control of the optoelectronic properties of 2D organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite (2D‐OIHP) lead halides is an increasingly prevalent topic. Herein, the observation of the circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) in new enantiomorphic 2D‐OIHP lead iodides is reported, which are synthesized as a first OIHP‐related system belonging to a chiral space group by incorporating organic chiral cations into the inorganic layers of lead iodides. The CPGE is an optoelectronic phenomenon associated with the spin–orbit coupling of heavy atoms in noncentrosymmetric systems. Owing to the CPGE, light‐helicity‐dependent steady photocurrents are generated without an external bias voltage under the irradiation of circularly polarized light. Furthermore, the sign reversal of the CPGE photocurrent depending on the chirality of the designed 2D‐OIHP lead iodides is observed. This result indicates formation of the theoretically predicted radial spin‐polarized texture in k‐space of chiral systems owing to spin‐momentum locking. Hence, chiral 2D‐OIHP lead halides can be a promising platform for engineering opto‐spintronic functionalities.

AbstractHigh‐throughput sequencing (HTS) improved the molecular diagnosis in individuals with intellectual deficiency (ID) and helped to broaden the phenotype of previously known disease‐causing genes. We report herein four unrelated patients with isolated ID, carriers of a likely pathogenic variant in KCNQ2, a gene usually implicated in benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS) or early onset epileptic encephalopathy (EOEE). Patients were diagnosed by targeted HTS or exome sequencing. Pathogenicity of the variants was assessed by multiple in silico tools. Patients' ID ranged from mild to severe with predominance of speech disturbance and autistic features. Three of the four variants disrupted the same amino acid. Compiling all the pathogenic variants previously reported, we observed a strong overlap between variants causing EOEE, isolated ID, and BFNS and an important intra‐familial phenotypic variability, although missense variants in the voltage‐sensing domain and the pore are significantly associated to EOEE (p < 0.01, Fisher test). Thus, pathogenic variants in KCNQ2 can be associated with isolated ID. We did not highlight strong related genotype–phenotype correlations in KCNQ2‐related disorders. A second genetic hit, a burden of rare variants, or other extrinsic factors may explain such a phenotypic variability. However, it is of interest to study encephalopathy genes in non‐epileptic ID patients.

BackgroundEndovascular treatment is used for traumatic arterial injuries in the torso. However, the effectiveness of endovascular covered stent‐graft treatment for peripheral artery injury is unclear. We present a case of superficial femoral artery (SFA) injury successfully treated with a covered stent‐graft.Case ReportA 68‐year‐old man presented with traumatic lower limb injury and shock. Computed tomography angiography revealed left subtrochanteric fracture and hematoma with extravasation. Digital subtraction angiography revealed extravasation from a left SFA branch, and a pseudoaneurysm at the SFA trunk. We coil embolized the SFA branch, and treated the pseudoaneurysm with a covered stent‐graft. Computed tomography carried out 22 days later showed complete pseudoaneurysm exclusion and sufficient stent patency.ConclusionWe successfully used a covered stent‐graft to treat SFA injury due to blunt trauma. A covered stent‐graft could be effective for peripheral artery injury.

Published: March 2021

AbstractWe report the case of a 64‐year‐old patient with history of chronic kidney disease on dialysis who was repeatedly hospitalized due to hydropic decompensation. Right heart failure with secondary severe tricuspid regurgitation was diagnosed. An interventional approach was recommended due to the heavy calcification of the sinus venosus and the perioperative risk (EuroScore II 3.2%) and taking into account the explicit request of the patient. After analysis of a full‐cycle computed tomography, the patient was eligible for the implantation of the Tricento transcatheter heart valve. The custom‐made prosthesis was implanted successfully using periprocedural transoesophageal guidance supported by fusion imaging that integrates live co‐registration. After implantation of the valve prosthesis, the primary result was excellent. The patient was discharged without further complications shortly after the procedure and her status is being closely monitored.
Significant Constraints of SnO2, SnS2, and SnS2/SnO2 Heterostructures on Mitigating Polysulfide Shuttle Effects in Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries

Published: March 2021

AbstractLithium‐sulfur batteries (LSBs) are considered to be promising candidates for next‐generation energy storage devices because of high theoretical capacity of 1675 mAh g−1. However, LSBs have failed to be put into practical applications mainly due to their shuttle effect. SnO2 and SnS2 stand out among many metal oxides and sulfides, and are frequently applied to LSBs research given their characteristics of easy preparation and good chemical stability. In particular, SnO2 has a strong chemical adsorption effect on polysulfides through the S−Sn−O chemical bonds; SnS2 can effectively reduce the electrochemical polarization and improve the redox efficiency of polysulfides. This Minireview summarizes and evaluates the latest research progress of SnO2, SnS2, and SnO2/SnS2 heterostructures applied in LSBs including the cathode, separator, and interlayer. The three materials show excellent electrochemical performance and can serve as viable candidates for polysulfide immobilizers to deal with the shuttle effect in LSBs.

Published: March 2021

AbstractWater splitting using earth‐abundant, low‐cost, highly efficient, transition‐metal‐based electrocatalysts with high activity and stability is inevitable for sustainable energy development. Herein, a molybdenum (Mo) and phosphorous (P) co‐doped highly efficient and durable electrocatalyst is grown on nickel foam (P‐NiCo2O4/CoMoO4/NF, for simplicity G‐3) for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively). The dual doping of Mo and P prompts the formation of nanosheet array structures and modifies the surface electronic states, which subsequently enhance the active sites, facilitate the charge transfer, and accelerate the reaction kinetics. As a result, the G‐3 sample requires a low overpotential of 78.7 mV and 248.6 mV to reach a current density of 25 mA cm−2 for the HER and OER, respectively. Furthermore, a cell voltage of 1.729 V is required at 100 mA cm−2, and the catalyst demonstrates long‐term stability of 54 h for overall water splitting.

Published: March 2021

AbstractBackgroundObservational analyses comparing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among elderly or frail patients are likely biased by treatment selection. PCI is typically chosen for frail patients, while CABG is more common for patients with good recovery potential.HypothesisWe hypothesized that skilled nursing facility (SNF) use after revascularization is a measure of relative frailty associated with outcomes following coronary revascularization.MethodsWe used a 20 percent sample of Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years or older who received inpatient PCI or CABG between 2007–2014. Key explanatory variables were the revascularization strategy and SNF use after revascularization. We used Cox regression to evaluate death and repeat revascularization within one year and logistic regression to evaluate SNF use and 30‐day readmissions/death.ResultsCABG patients were 25.1 percentage points [95% confidence interval: 24.7, 25.5] more likely to use SNF following revascularization than inpatient PCI patients. SNF use was associated with a higher death rate (hazard ratio (HR): 3.19 [3.02, 3.37]) and a 16.2 percentage point (15.5, 16.9) increase in 30‐day readmissions/death. Among patients with SNF use, CABG was associated with a decrease in 30‐day readmissions/death compared to PCI.ConclusionsWhile CABG was associated with higher rates of SNF use and 30‐day readmission/death overall, CABG was associated with significantly lower rates of 30‐day readmissions/death among patients with SNF use. The findings suggest that caution is needed in treatment selection for patients at high‐risk for SNF use and that selection of inpatient PCI over CABG may be associated with frailty and worse outcomes for some patients.
Cytoskeletal prestress: The cellular hallmark in mechanobiology and mechanomedicine
Authors: Chowdhury Farhan , Huang Bo , Wang Ning 
Published: March 2021

AbstractIncreasing evidence demonstrates that mechanical forces, in addition to soluble molecules, impact cell and tissue functions in physiology and diseases. How living cells integrate mechanical signals to perform appropriate biological functions is an area of intense investigation. Here, we review the evidence of the central role of cytoskeletal prestress in mechanotransduction and mechanobiology. Elevating cytoskeletal prestress increases cell stiffness and reinforces cell stiffening, facilitates long‐range cytoplasmic mechanotransduction via integrins, enables direct chromatin stretching and rapid gene expression, spurs embryonic development and stem cell differentiation, and boosts immune cell activation and killing of tumor cells whereas lowering cytoskeletal prestress maintains embryonic stem cell pluripotency, promotes tumorigenesis and metastasis of stem cell‐like malignant tumor‐repopulating cells, and elevates drug delivery efficiency of soft‐tumor‐cell‐derived microparticles. The overwhelming evidence suggests that the cytoskeletal prestress is the governing principle and the cellular hallmark in mechanobiology. The application of mechanobiology to medicine (mechanomedicine) is rapidly emerging and may help advance human health and improve diagnostics, treatment, and therapeutics of diseases.

Published: March 2021

AbstractNovel chiral ionone alkaloid derivatives were synthesized and their antimetastatic effects were evaluated in human breast cancer cells using chemotaxis assay. Compared with positive control LY294002, a PI3 K inhibitor, derivatives 10 a, 11 a, 11 c, 11 g, 11 j, 11 k and 11 w exhibited significant inhibitory effects against cancer cell migration. Especially, the IC50 for compound 11 g was as low as 0.035±0.004 μM. Further investigations on compound 11 g revealed that it could exert inhibitory effects on the adhesion, migration and invasion of MDA‐MB‐231 cells. The mechanisms for the antitumor metastatic effects of 11 g might be through the inhibition of HIF‐1α/VEGF/VEGFR2/Akt pathway, which suppressed the downstream signaling molecules, including Akt1/mTOR/p70S6K and Akt2/PKCζ/integrin β1 pathways. Taken together, chiral ionone alkaloid derivative 11 g has the potential to be developed into an antitumor metastatic agent for breast cancer.
Does CIECAM02 color appearance model work well for fluorescent samples?
Authors: Shahbaznejad Soroush , Amirshahi Seyed Hossein 
Published: March 2021

AbstractIn this work, the validity of a chosen color appearance model, CIECAM02 is examined for perceived lightness and brightness of fluorescent samples against some near achromatic backgrounds. To this end, the visual assessment technique and the paired comparison method have been conducted and the results are compared to those obtained by CIECAM02 color appearance model. Opposed to the initial expectation, the results show that the CIECAM02 is not an adequate model for prediction of lightness and brightness of fluorescent samples over a set of gray backgrounds.
Finite Element Simulation of Temperature Distribution in Growth Chamber for Verneuil‐Grown SrTiO3 Crystal
Authors: Liu Xudong , Wang Lei , Yan Huiyun , Bi Xiaoguo , Sun Xudong 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThe work demonstrates combustion characteristics in growth chamber for Verneuil‐grown SrTiO3 crystal with two‐tube burner. Finite element (FE) simulation is performed to analyze the temperature distribution and its influencing factors. The central oxygen flows outward along the radial direction and reacts to hydrogen surrounding crystal, and the best ratio of hydrogen and oxygen is 2.5. The ratio less than 2.5 leads to increasing the center temperature of molten cap and greater than 2.5 leads to increasing the temperature around the molten cap, which probably causes the overflow problem. The surface temperature of molten cap increases first and then decreases gradually with the decreasing nozzle aperture of oxygen. The best diameter of nozzle aperture of oxygen is 4.5 mm. The surface temperature of molten cap is mainly related to the diameter of oxygen nozzle and the flow rate of oxygen. This work opens the stable growth process and the possibility for the industrial growth of large high quality SrTiO3 single crystals.

Published: March 2021

AbstractMultiple‐wave X‐ray reflections usually aggravate the measurement of Bragg reflections, especially of weak “forbidden” reflections. Accurate analysis of multiple‐wave peaks usually allows to avoid this. However, multiple‐wave reflections can also provide information about crystal structure, since crystal cell parameters determine the positions of multi‐wave peaks. The forbidden reflections 002 and 100 in paratellurite are measured and an approach based on semi‐kinematical X‐ray scattering used to handle the multiple‐wave interferences is shown here.

Abstract2D materials such as molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) integrated with conventional semiconductors lead to the fabrication of novel heterojunctions with pivotal electrical and optoelectronic properties. Herein, an approach is reported which addresses the growth of MoS2 crystals on the lattice‐matched Ga–polar gallium nitride (GaN) wafer using ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (ATM) as a precursor in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, instead of using the molybdenum‐oxide‐based precursors. Unidirectional triangular MoS2 crystals and continuous film are obtained on the free‐standing Ga–polar GaN substrate. Further, the interface quality of the as‐synthesized MoS2 crystals and GaN wafer is explored by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is observed that a good quality interface can be obtained by using the ammonia‐containing ATM precursor, where the surface oxygen at the interface is significantly less. A heterojunction device is fabricated with the synthesized MoS2 layer on GaN, showing excellent rectifying diode characteristics and a photovoltaic action with light illumination. This study reveals the suitability of the ammonia‐containing ATM precursor for the growth of MoS2 crystals on GaN in the CVD process to obtain a suitable heterostructure for device applications.

AbstractTwo elite cultivars of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), GPBD 4 and G 2–52, with high productivity, oil content, resistance to late leaf spot [Phaeoisariopsis personata (Berk. & Curt) V. Arx.] (LLS) and rust (Puccinia arachidis Speg.) diseases were improved for oleic acid content using marker‐assisted backcrossing. Since both the recurrent parents already possessed the mutant allele at AhFAD2A, only mutant allele at AhFAD2B was transferred from the donor ‘SunOleic 95R’ (oleate of 80.6%). Three rounds of backcrossing with foreground selection using allele‐specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Kompetitive allele‐specific PCR (KASP) assay identified a large number of plants homozygous for the mutant allele at AhFAD2B in BCnF2 generations. Evaluation of the advanced generations could identify six and 10 lines with significantly higher oleate than GPBD 4 and G 2–52, respectively. Considering the yield, shelling percentage, oil, and oleate content, the most promising lines HOBC2GPS_7 and HOBC2G2S_5 were selected with 112 and 142% oleate recovery over GPBD 4 and G 2–52, respectively. Double digest restriction‐site‐associated DNA sequencing of these superior lines showed background genome recovery of 77.5 and 69.0%, respectively. These advanced breeding lines with high oleate (∼80%), resistance to LLS and rust and high productivity are under further trials for possible release as varieties for commercial cultivation.
Area Oversizing of Lithium Metal Electrodes in Solid‐State Batteries: Relevance for Overvoltage and thus Performance?
Authors: Stolz Lukas , Homann Gerrit , Winter Martin , Kasnatscheew Johannes 
Published: March 2021

AbstractSystematic and systemic research and development of solid electrolytes for lithium batteries requires a reliable and reproducible benchmark cell system. Therefore, factors relevant for performance, such as temperature, voltage operation range, or specific current, should be defined and reported. However, performance can also be sensitive to apparently inconspicuous and overlooked factors, such as area oversizing of the lithium electrode and the solid electrolyte membrane (relative to the cathode area). In this study, area oversizing is found to diminish polarization and improves the performance in LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NMC622)||Li cells, with a more pronounced effect under kinetically harsh conditions (e. g., low temperature and/or high current density). For validity reasons, the polarization behavior is also investigated in Li||Li symmetric cells. Given the mathematical conformity of the characteristic overvoltage behavior with the Sand's equation, the beneficial effect is attributed to lower depletion of Li ions at the electrode/electrolyte interface. In this regard, the highest possible effect of area oversizing on the performance is discussed, that is when the accompanied decrease in current density and overvoltage overcomes the Sand's threshold limit. This scenario entirely prevents the capacity decay attributable to Li+ depletion and is in line with the mathematically predicted values.
