An Analysis of Impact of Anti-dumping Duties on India–China Trade
Authors: Mahajan Ashwani , Chand Phool , Pasumarthi Harsha Vardhan 
Published: August 2021

India has imposed anti-dumping duties (ADDs) on a total of 155 commodities against China across many sectors to protect the domestic industry since 2001. The dumping of Chinese goods into Indian markets has led to the downfall and closure of many domestic industries. Under such circumstances, ADDs had been necessitated for protecting the domestic industry. As per the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, imposition of ADDs on imports is permitted, provided that the affected country establishes that the domestic industry has suffered material injury by such imports. An elaborate discussion explaining the investigation pertaining to ADD and imposition of ADD in relation with WTO rules is presented in the present article. During the period between 2014 and 2018, ADD has been imposed on a total of 121 commodities. The study finds that ADDs have been partially effective in reducing the imports of the commodities.

Published: August 2021

Venous thromboembolism from a “thrombotic storm”–like syndrome is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with active or “recovered” COVID-19. Patients should be risk-stratified, optimally by a pulmonary embolism (PE) response team (PERT), and considered for escalation of care if found with intermediate or high-risk PE. We present a series of patients with COVID-19-associated PE and thrombotic storm with D-dimer >10 000 ng/mL who underwent successful mechanical thrombectomy for intermediate to high-risk PE. All patients had immediate improvement in hemodynamics and large amounts of thrombi were retrieved.

Published: August 2021

Background The Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant burden on global healthcare systems. Nurses, midwives and health visitors remain critical to the rapid responses and innovative solutions required. Their views, however, on priorities for research is mainly muted, necessitating greater clarity to inform research that benefits patients and families across the life course. Aims To identify priorities for research in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and ‘beyond’, as recommended by nurses, midwives and health visitors across the four countries of the United Kingdom (UK). Methods A cross-sectional, web-based survey design was conducted (5th May-4th June 2020). In addition to the completion of demographic information, respondents identified up to three research areas important to their clinical care/practice in the context of COVID-19 and beyond. Data were imported for analysis into NVivo 12 (QSR International). Descriptive analysis was used to summarise the demographic variables. Free text responses were analysed using a semantic, inductive thematic analysis approach. Results In total 1,296 responses were received from a self-selected sample of predominantly of female, registered nurses of white British ethnicity, located in England and working for acute care providers, providing 3,444 research priority recommendations. Four higher-order themes emerged, (1) New and unknown frontiers; (2) Care and treatment solutions; (3) Healthcare leadership and inclusive workforce; and (4) Emotional and mental health impact. Conclusions At a time of significant global uncertainty, the collective voice of nursing, midwifery and health visiting is never more important to inform clinical research. Whilst generalisability is limited by the homogeneity of the sample, this is the first survey to elicit the priorities for research in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond from nurses, midwives and health visitors in the UK. Novel findings developed through a rigorous analytical approach illuminate areas that require both urgent and long-term attention and provide a platform to direct priority refinement, future research and the basis for evidence translation.
Rapid Independent Health Literacy Assessment: A Pilot Study Among Native English-speaking and Low English Proficiency Patients
Authors: Hargiss John Blade , St. Jeor Jeffery D. , Horn Jennifer L. , Garrison Gregory M. 
Published: August 2021

Objectives: Health literacy is an individual’s capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information needed to make appropriate health decisions. Failure to understand and correctly execute a plan of care often leads to poor health outcomes. Determining patient health literacy allows health care providers to tailor their plan of care instructions, increasing the probability of understanding, and adherence. Several validated health literacy tests have been developed to assess the health literacy of individuals and ethnic groups. However, because a proctor is required to administer these tests, their usefulness in clinical settings is limited. The issue of health literacy is especially relevant within minority groups. This research focused on producing a translatable assessment that can be administered quickly without a proctor. Methods: We developed a 15-question instrument (the RIHLA) in English using the Delphi method with a panel of bilingual experts and translated it into Spanish. Internal reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha for 3 groups: Native English-speaking College students (NESC), Native English-speaking patients (NES), and Limited English Proficient Spanish-speaking patients (LEP). External validity was assessed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient to compare our instrument to a previously validated, proctored instrument measuring health literacy (the SAHL-E). Results: Four hundred fifteen subjects completed the RIHLA. Of these, 192 (46.3%) were NESC, 208 (50.1%) were NES, and 15 (3.6%) were LEP. The mean number of correct answers was 11.2, 11.6, and 8.3 respectively with the LEP group scoring lower ( P < .01). Cronbach’s alpha was >.70 for each group. Moderate correlation between the RIHLA and the previously validated instrument was present ( P < .01) with Pearson’s r = .47 (95% CI: 0.18-0.69). Conclusion: The RIHLA is a non-proctored assessment tool that may provide a measure of patients’ health literacy in multiple languages. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to confirm the reliability, validity, and generalizability to a wider population.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Fetal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supply relies on preferential transplacental transfer, which is regulated by placental DHA lipid metabolism. Maternal hyperglycemia and obesity associate with higher birthweight and fetal DHA insufficiency but the role of placental DHA metabolism is unclear.

Methods
Explants from 17 term placenta were incubated with 13C-labeled DHA for 48 h, at 5 or 10 mmol/L glucose treatment, and the production of 17 individual newly synthesized 13C-DHA labeled lipids quantified by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.

Results
Maternal BMI positively associated with 13C-DHA-labeled diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols, lysophospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogens, while maternal fasting glycemia positively associated with five 13C-DHA triacylglycerols. In turn, 13C-DHA-labeled phospholipids and triacylglycerols positively associated with birthweight centile. In-vitro glucose treatment increased most 13C-DHA-lipids, but decreased 13C-DHA phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogens. However, with increasing maternal BMI, the magnitude of the glucose treatment induced increase in 13C-DHA phosphatidylcholine and 13C-DHA lysophospholipids was curtailed, with further decline in 13C-DHA phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogens. Conversely, with increasing birthweight centile glucose treatment induced increases in 13C-DHA triacylglycerols were exaggerated, while glucose treatment induced decreases in 13C-DHA phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogens were diminished.

Conclusions
Maternal BMI and glycemia increased the production of different placental DHA lipids implying impact on different metabolic pathways. Glucose-induced elevation in placental DHA metabolism is moderated with higher maternal BMI. In turn, findings of associations between many DHA lipids with birthweight suggest that BMI and glycemia promote fetal growth partly through changes in placental DHA metabolism.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) ranks as the most prevalent malignancy in the oral cavity. TSCC patients with occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) are thought to be at risk of worse outcome. However, regulatory mechanisms underlying OLNM remain less investigated.

Methods
In the present study, CASC18/miR-20a-3p/TGFB2 axis was identified and evaluated by bioinformatic and qRT-PCR analyses. Effects of CASC18 knockdown on cell migration and invasion were determined by wound healing and transwell assays. Western blot, ELISA, RNA pulldown and luciferase reporter assays were performed for mechanism verification.

Results
CASC18 was identified up-regulating in TSCC tumours, and especially in those from patients with OLNM. Importantly, we found higher CASC18 expression was positively correlated with the presence of OLNM and worse outcome of TSCC patients. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CASC18 knockdown repressed cell migration and invasion through inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which could be partly rescued by miR-20a-3p inhibitor. Regarding the molecular mechanism, we further confirmed that CASC18 functioned as a ceRNA to sponge miR-20a-3p to enhanceTGFB2 expression and secretion.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we have reported a novel CASC18/miR-20a-3p/TGFB2 ceRNA axis in OLNM of TSCC. Our findings will contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanism of OLNM in TSCC, and facilitate the development of diagnostic methods for assisting treatment decision-making.
The imaging evaluation of acetabular labral lesions
Authors: Liu Yuwei , Lu Wei , Ouyang Kan , Deng Zhenhan 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThe acetabular labrum is an important structure that contributes to hip joint stability and function. Diagnosing labral tears involves a comprehensive assessment of clinical symptoms, physical examinations, imaging examinations, and arthroscopic confirmation. As arthroscopy is an invasive surgery, adjuvant imaging of the acetabular labrum is increasingly imperative for orthopedists to diagnose and assess labral lesions prior to hip arthroscopy for surgical management. This article reviews the current imaging strategies for the evaluation of labrum lesions.

Published: August 2021

AbstractAn accurate sensor to rapidly determine the glucose concentration is of significant importance for the human body health, as diabetes has become a very high incidence around the world. In this work, copper nanoparticles accommodated in porous carbon substrates (Cu NP@PC), synthesized by calcinating the filter papers impregnated with copper ions at high temperature, were designed as the electrode active materials for electrochemical sensing of glucose. During the formation of porous carbon, the copper nanoparticles spontaneously accommodated into the formed voids and constituted the half-covered composites. For the electrochemical glucose oxidation, the prepared Cu NP@PC composites exhibit much superior catalytic activity with the current density of 0.31 mA/cm2 at the potential of 0.55 V in the presence of 0.2 mM glucose. Based on the high electrochemical oxidation activity, the present Cu NP@PC composites also exhibit a superior glucose sensing performance. The sensitivity is determined to be 84.5 μA /(mmol.L) with a linear range of 0.01 ~ 1.1 mM and a low detection limit (LOD) of 2.1 μmol/L. Compared to that of non-porous carbon supported copper nanoparticles (Cu NP/C), this can be reasonable by the improved mass transfer and strengthened synergistic effect between copper nanoparticles and porous carbon substrates.
Exploiting genomic synteny in Felidae: cross-species genome alignments and SNV discovery can aid conservation management
Authors: Samaha Georgina , Wade Claire M. , Mazrier Hamutal , Grueber Catherine E. , Haase Bianca 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
While recent advances in genomics has enabled vast improvements in the quantification of genome-wide diversity and the identification of adaptive and deleterious alleles in model species, wildlife and non-model species have largely not reaped the same benefits. This has been attributed to the resources and infrastructure required to develop essential genomic datasets such as reference genomes. In the absence of a high-quality reference genome, cross-species alignments can provide reliable, cost-effective methods for single nucleotide variant (SNV) discovery. Here, we demonstrated the utility of cross-species genome alignment methods in gaining insights into population structure and functional genomic features in cheetah (Acinonyx jubatas), snow leopard (Panthera uncia) and Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), relative to the domestic cat (Felis catus).

Results
Alignment of big cats to the domestic cat reference assembly yielded nearly complete sequence coverage of the reference genome. From this, 38,839,061 variants in cheetah, 15,504,143 in snow leopard and 13,414,953 in Sumatran tiger were discovered and annotated. This method was able to delineate population structure but limited in its ability to adequately detect rare variants. Enrichment analysis of fixed and species-specific SNVs revealed insights into adaptive traits, evolutionary history and the pathogenesis of heritable diseases.

Conclusions
The high degree of synteny among felid genomes enabled the successful application of the domestic cat reference in high-quality SNV detection. The datasets presented here provide a useful resource for future studies into population dynamics, evolutionary history and genetic and disease management of big cats. This cross-species method of variant discovery provides genomic context for identifying annotated gene regions essential to understanding adaptive and deleterious variants that can improve conservation outcomes.
Myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery as a risk factor for atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: a matched case–control study
Authors: Nie Changrong , Zhu Changsheng , Yang Qiulan , Xiao Minghu , Meng Yanhai , Wang Shuiyun 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Myocardial bridging (MB) is associated with various forms of arrhythmia. However, whether MB is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) remains unknown. This study aimed to identify the relationship between myocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery (MB-LAD) and AF in patients with HOCM.

Methods
We reviewed the medical records of 1925 patients diagnosed with HOCM at Fuwai Hospital from January 2012 to March 2019. Patients with coronary artery disease, a history of heart surgery, and those who had not been subjected to angiography were excluded. Finally, 105 patients with AF were included in this study. The control group was matched in a ratio of 3:1 based on age and gender.

Results
Forty-three patients were diagnosed with MB-LAD in this study. The presence of MB was significantly higher in patients with AF than in those without AF (19.0% vs. 7.3%; p = 0.001), although MB compression and MB length did not differ between the two groups. In conditional multivariate logistic analysis, MB (odds ratio [OR] 2.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08–5.01; p = 0.03), pulmonary arterial hypertension (OR 2.63; 95% CI 1.26–5.47; p = 0.01), hyperlipidemia (OR 1.83; 95% CI 1.12–3.00; p = 0.016), left atrial diameter (OR 1.09; 95% CI 1.05–1.13; p < 0.001), and interventricular septal thickness (OR 1.06; 95% CI 1.003–1.12; p = 0.037) were independent risk factors for AF in patients with HOCM.

Conclusions
The presence of MB is an independent risk factor for AF in patients with HOCM. The potential mechanistic link between MB and the development of AF warrants further investigation.
Acute liver failure in Still’s disease relapse during pregnancy: case report and discussion of a possible trigger role of DILI
Authors: Marrone Giuseppe , Galati Francesco , Biolato Marco , Oddy Christopher , De Carolis Sara , Zoli Angelo , Grieco Antonio 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Still's disease is a rare systemic inflammatory disease with frequent but generally mild liver involvement. The most common cause of acute liver failure in western countries is drug-induced liver injury, while it has rarely been reported in subjects suffering from Still’s disease.

Case presentation
We report a case of a young woman presenting with SD reactivation in pregnancy and acute liver failure after delivery with a possible triggering role of drug induced liver injury.

Conclusions
The prompt recognition of Still's disease reactivation allowed early introduction of steroid therapy and resolution of the clinical picture. We discuss potential factors precipitating ALF in this case, and implications for the diagnosis and management of such patients.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Multi-month dispensing (MMD) is the mainstay mechanism for clinically stable people living with HIV in Cambodia to refill antiretroviral therapy (ART) every 3-6 months. However, less frequent ART dispensing through the community-based ART delivery (CAD) model could further reduce the clients’ and health facilities’ burden. While community-based services have been recognized as an integral component of HIV response in Cambodia, their role and effectiveness in ART delivery have yet to be systematically assessed. This study aims to evaluate the CAD model’s effectiveness on the continuum of care and treatment outcomes for stable people living with HIV in Cambodia.

Methods
We will conduct this quasi-experimental study in 20 ART clinics across the capital city and nine provinces between May 2021 and April 2023. Study sites were purposively selected based on the availability of implementing partners, the number of people living with HIV each clinic serves, and the accessibility of the clinics. In the intervention arm, approximately 2000 stable people living with HIV will receive ART and services from the CAD model. Another 2000 stable people living with HIV in the control arm will receive MMD—a standard care model for stable people living with HIV. The primary outcomes will be retention in care, viral load suppression, and adherence to ART. The secondary endpoints will include health providers’ work burden, the model’s cost-effectiveness, quality of life, mental health, social support, stigma, and discrimination. We will compare the outcome indicators within each arm at baseline, midline, and endline using descriptive and inferential statistics. We will evaluate the differences between the intervention and control arms using the difference-in-differences method. We will perform economic evaluations to determine if the intervention is cost-effective.

Discussion
This study will build the evidence base for future implementation and scale-up of CAD model in Cambodia and other similar settings. Furthermore, it will strengthen engagements with community stakeholders and further improve community mobilization, a vital pillar of the Cambodian HIV response.

Confusion, cognitive impairment, and spinal cord compression caused by plasmacytoma: a case report
Authors: Axenhus Michael , Bogdanovic Nenad 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Background
Plasmacytomas are rare tumors comprised of neoplastic monoclonal plasma cells and can be found anywhere in the body. Plasmacytomas that involve the nervous system can give rise to diffuse symptoms depending on their location. Patients with confusion or dementia might be difficult to neurologically assess in an acute setting and the subtle symptoms of neurological pathology caused by rare malignancies might go undiagnosed.

Case presentation
The patient is an 80 year old man presenting to the ER with walking difficulties, pain, and confusion. He underwent neurological evaluation for dementia and was eventually diagnosed with possible Alzheimer’s disease and a malignant plasmacytoma causing spinal cord compression. His CSF sample showed normal amyloid rate and very low Aβ. Following rehabilitation and oncological treatment, his walking ability and confusion improved.

Conclusion
This case is unique as we demonstrate that spinal cord compression by plasmacytoma can lead to abnormal CSF levels of several known pathology markers for Alzheimer’s disease and neuronal damage. We suggest that highly divergent amyloid CSF levels could be indicative of spinal pathologies affecting CSF circulation. We also suggest closer assessment of elderly confusion patients in ER settings by consultants specialized in neurological disorders.
