L’Année galante (1785) ou le reflet d’un « miroir à putains » : portrait du marquis de Létorière en femme entretenue
Authors: Duriau Nicolas 
Published: December 2021

Tandis qu’abondent les travaux consacrés aux filles de joie, leurs équivalents masculins semblent avoir été relégués dans la marge de l’histoire littéraire. À ce jour, aucune étude ni monographie ne retrace en effet l’évolution de ces personnages, apparus dès l’Antiquité. Bien avant leur entrée dans les dictionnaires français, ces « prostitués », comme nous les appellerions désormais, sont très présents dans la littérature, en particulier celle du XVIIIe siècle. En 1785, un texte anonyme intituléL’Année galante ou les intrigues secrètes du marquis de L***brosse le portrait de l’un de ces hommes entretenus aux dépens des femmes. Aussi reflète-t-il une figure historique, Armand Prévost de Létorière, ainsi qu’un fait social aujourd’hui méconnu : le « guerluchonnage », ancien témoignage d’une prostitution masculine au service de ces dames.

Published: December 2021

Background: Amniotic fluid is the liquid which surround the fetus after the first few weeks of gestation. Amniotic fluid is derived mostly from the fetus and has many functions that are essential for normal growth and development. The aim of this work is to study the relation between fetal renal artery flow velocity waveforms and amniotic fluid volume in normal pregnancies and those complicated by oligohydramnios.
Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out on 40pregnant women (10) of them were with normal amount of amniotic fluid (group I), while (30) of them suffered from oligohydramnios (group II).By using color doppler ultrasound imaging, the fetal renal circulation can be assessed. Intermittent assessment of renal artery flow velocity waveforms during the early stages of pregnancy may help in predicting changes in amniotic fluid dynamics.
Results: There was a non-significant difference between cases with normal amount of amniotic fluid and cases with oligohydramnios in Gestational age, Maternal age, fetal femur length, bi parietal diameter, abdominal circumference and Fetal weight. There were increased values of fetal renal artery Resistance index (RI) and Pulsatility index (PI) in cases of oligohydramnios than cases with normal amount of amniotic fluid. There was no correlation between Peak systolic velocity (PSV) and Amniotic fluid index (AFI). There was a significant difference in End diastolic velocity (EDV) between cases with normal amount of amniotic fluid and cases with oligohydramnios. Also, there was a significant difference in Systolic diastolic ratio (S/D) and Amniotic fluid index (AFI) between cases with normal amount of amniotic fluid and cases with oligohydramnios.
Conclusions: There is a relation between renal artery flow velocity waveforms and oligohydramnios using Pulsed wave Doppler Ultrasonography. There are higher values of renal artery Resistance index and Pulsatility index in cases of oligohydramnios more than cases with normal amount of amniotic fluid.

Published: December 2021

Background: Breast Cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer affecting ‎women undergoing modified radical mastectomy, causing acute pain, and in ‎high percentage of patients it progresses to chronic pain syndromes. The Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) ‎and Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) are options of regional anesthesia that can produce reliable ‎analgesia. In this study we aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ‎ultrasound guided ESPB and SAPB in patients underwent modified radical ‎mastectomy operation.
Patients and Methods: Patients were randomly classified using computer generated numbers ‎concealed in ‎ sealed opaque envelopes into three equal groups; 30 patients ‎were enrolled in each group. ‎Group I: Control Group (C): Patients received intravenous (IV) systemic analgesia only, Group II: ESPB group: Patients received ‎ipsilateral ultrasound guided ESPB using 20 ml bupivacaine 0.25% at the ‎level of the 4th thoracic segment (T4). and Group III: SPB group: Patients received ipsilateral ‎serratus plane block using 30 ml bupivacaine 0.25% at the level of the 5th rib.‎
Results: In this study, 113 patients were assessed for eligibility, 16 patients ‎did not meet the criteria and 7 patients refused to participate in the study. ‎The remaining 90 patients were randomly allocated into three groups (30 ‎patients in each). All patients (90) were followed-up and analyzed ‎statistically‎.
Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided SAPB and ESPB provided effective post-‎operative analgesia in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy with ‎lower pain scores, less peri operative analgesic consumption and longer ‎duration of analgesia in SAPB.

AbstractMost of the reported 2D Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) lead halide perovskites with the general formula of An+1BnX3n+1 (n = 1, 2, …) comprise layered perovskites separated by A‐site‐substituted organic spacers. To date, only a small number of X‐site‐substituted RP perovskites have been reported. Herein, the first inorganic‐cation pseudohalide 2D phase perovskite single crystal, Cs2Pb(SCN)2Br2, is reported. It is synthesized by the antisolvent vapor‐assisted crystallization (AVC) method at room temperature. It exhibits a standard single‐layer (n = 1) Ruddlesden–Popper structure described in space group of Pmmn (#59) and has a small separation (d = 1.69 Å) between the perovskite layers. The SCN− anions are found to bend the 2D Pb(SCN)2Br2 framework slightly into a kite‐shaped octahedron, limiting the formation of a quasi‐2D perovskite structure (n > 1). This 2D single crystal exhibits a reversible first‐order phase transformation to 3D CsPbBr3 (Pm3m #221) at 450 K. It has a low exciton binding energy of 160 meV—one of the lowest for 2D perovskites (n = 1). A Cs2Pb(SCN)2Br2‐single‐crystal photodetector is demonstrated with respectable responsivity of 8.46 mA W−1 and detectivity of ≈1.2 × 1010 Jones at a low bias voltage of 0.5 V.

AbstractAntibody (Ab)‐targeted nanoparticles are becoming increasingly important for precision medicine. By controlling the Ab orientation, targeting properties can be enhanced; however, to afford such an ordered configuration, cumbersome chemical functionalization protocols are usually required. This aspect limits the progress of Abs‐nanoparticles toward nanomedicine translation. Herein, a novel one‐step synthesis of oriented monoclonal Ab‐decorated metal–organic framework (MOF) nanocrystals is presented. The crystallization of a zinc‐based MOF, Zn2(mIM)2(CO3), from a solution of Zn2+ and 2‐methylimidazole (mIM), is triggered by the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of the Ab. This selective growth yields biocomposites with oriented Abs on the MOF nanocrystals (MOF*Ab): the Fc regions are partially inserted within the MOF surface and the antibody‐binding regions protrude from the MOF surface toward the target. This ordered configuration imparts antibody–antigen recognition properties to the biocomposite and shows preserved target binding when compared to the parental antibodies. Next, the biosensing performance of the system is tested by loading MOF*Ab with luminescent quantum dots (QD). The targeting efficiency of the QD‐containing MOF*Ab is again, fully preserved. The present work represents a simple self‐assembly approach for the fabrication of antibody‐decorated MOF nanocrystals with broad potential for sensing, diagnostic imaging, and targeted drug delivery.

AbstractCopper conductive pattern should provide dependent flexibility on coated cloth‐fiber to support the signal transmission or current carrier for stretchable and reliable electronics. The design of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) introduced in poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) and polystyrene sulfonate acid (PEDOT:PSS) polymer network promotes the realization of copper electro‐metallization from its inner active dots, leading to a structure of PEDOT:PSS/CuPc‐rooted copper coating. The bridge‐layer of elastic PEDOT:PSS/CuPc interfacing and catalyzing the copper layer with excellent ductility and antioxidation, is developed to sustain the required stretchability for electronics on regular cloth polyurethane fiber. Experimental results demonstrate that this design achieves a perfect 80% conductivity of bulk copper, an ignored resistance changes after bending test, tensile test, 10 days’ natural oxidation, and 10 times’ machine‐washing, respectively. Accordingly, a breakthrough is made to supply the compatible integrity of copper line on cloth fiber for wearable electronics.

Published: December 2021

AbstractThe development of high energy density battery technologies based on divalent metals as the negative electrode is very appealing. Ca and Mg are especially interesting choices due to their combination of low standard reduction potential and natural abundance. One particular problem stalling the technological development of these batteries is the low efficiency of plating/stripping at the negative electrode, which relates to several factors that have not yet been looked at systematically; the nature/concentration of the electrolyte, which determines the mass transport of electro‐active species (cation complexes) toward the electrode; the possible presence of passivation layers, which may hinder ionic transport and hence limit electrodeposition; and the mechanisms behind the charge transfer leading to nucleation/growth of the metal. Different electrolytes are investigated for Mg and Ca, with the presence/absence of chlorides in the formulation playing a crucial role in the cation desolvation. From a R&D point‐of‐view, proper characterization alongside modeling is crucial to understand the phenomena determining the mechanisms of the plating/stripping processes. The state‐of‐the‐art is here presented together with a short perspective on the influence of the cation solvation also on the positive electrode and finally an attempt to define guidelines for future research in the field.
Effects of Sterilization Methods on the Integrity and Functionality of Covalent Mucin Coatings on Medical Devices

Published: December 2021

AbstractRecent advances in the field of biomedical materials have demonstrated that covalent mucin coatings generated on polymeric materials have the potential to greatly improve the surface properties of medical devices such as their wettability, lubricity, and resistance toward biofouling. For such biopolymer‐based coatings to be used in a medical application, sterilization of the coated devices is mandatory. However, common sterilization methods such as autoclavation, ethylene oxide fumigation, as well as γ‐ or ultraviolet‐irradiation, create harsh conditions during the device treatment, and this might compromise the structural integrity and thus functionality of macromolecular coatings. Here, it is demonstrated that covalent mucin coatings generated on medical devices made from polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, or polydimethylsiloxane are able to withstand such treatments—albeit to different extents. Among all treatments tested, ethylene oxide fumigation is identified as the most promising method as it maintains the coatings the best. The findings imply that the beneficial properties demonstrated for mucin coatings in vitro should indeed be transferable to applications in vivo.

Published: December 2021

AbstractEnergy harvesters based on tribovoltaic effect are interesting due to their direct current output characteristic that matches most commercial electronic devices. However, their mechanism remains to be further investigated, especially for liquid‐solid cases. Here, the effect of temperature on the tribovoltaic effect at liquid‐solid interfaces is studied. The results show that the increasing of temperature will lead to the increase of the tribo‐voltage and tribo‐current at the water/Si and water/metal interfaces during sliding. Moreover, the coupling effect of the pH value of the liquid and the temperature on the tribovoltaic effect is demonstrated, and an energy band model is proposed for understanding the received data, in which the energy released (“bindington”) by contacting the liquid and the solid with the formation of chemical bonds is considered to be responsible for the generation of tribovoltaic effect.
Direct Microextrusion Printing of a Low Viscosity Hydrogel on a Supportive Microstructured Bioprinting Substrate for the Vasculogenesis of Endothelial Cells
Authors: Kim Soo Jee , Lee Gihyun , Park Je‐Kyun 
Published: December 2021

AbstractNatural hydrogels with low viscosity and high cytocompatibility are limited in their application as bioinks because their poor mechanical properties lead to constructs of low resolution that fail to reflect the high spatial control of the bioprinter. Existing attempts to integrate natural hydrogels with low viscosity into bioprinting compromise bioink cytocompatibility for printability and complicate the printing and crosslinking process. Consequently, biological phenomena such as vasculogenesis, which require high levels of cellular bioactivities including cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration, are difficult to observe in high‐resolution bioprinted constructs. This study proposes a novel technique of bioprinting on a supportive microstructured bioprinting substrate (SuBstrate) to enhance the structural fidelity of low‐viscosity hydrogel constructs via capillary pinning and to maintain their integrity during the crosslinking procedures. This bioprinting approach enables the direct and reproducible microextrusion printing of fibrinogen, a hydrogel previously considered “unprintable” using such a method, into volumetric constructs that are vascularized by the self‐assembly of endothelial cells, replicating the biological vasculogenesis process. The SuBstrate‐based bioprinting technology can be applied to bioprinting cytocompatible natural hydrogels to develop complex constructs and is expected to be used as a new method of recreating physiological tissues for pathological studies and drug screening.

AimThe aim of the current study was to evaluate the prevalence of coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) in methanol‐poisoned patients admitted to two toxicology academic centers during the COVID‐19 outbreak and determine their clinical features and chest/brain computed tomography (CT) findings.MethodsMethanol‐poisoned patients who had been referred during the COVID‐19 pandemic were evaluated for signs and symptoms of COVID‐19 by chest CT scans and/or polymerase chain reaction test.ResultsA total of 62 patients with confirmed methanol poisoning were enrolled in the study, with a median (interquartile range) age of 35 (28–44) years. Thirty‐nine (62.9%) survived. Nine (14.5%) were diagnosed to have COVID‐19, of whom four survived. There was a significant correlation between COVID‐19 disease and a history of alcohol consumption (p = 0.036; odds ratio 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.3–2.2). Univariate analysis showed significant differences between infected and noninfected patients regarding their urea and time for first and second hemodialysis sessions, as well as the duration of ethanol administration.ConclusionsIn conclusion, during the pandemic, specific attention should be paid to patients with a history of alcohol ingestion and elevated creatinine, loss of consciousness, and severe acidosis as these signs/symptoms could be present in both COVID‐19 and methanol poisoning, making differentiation between the two challenging.
Analytical considerations for accurately capturing the relevant species contributing to vitamin D status in liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry assays
Authors: Volmer Dietrich A. , Stokes Caroline S. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThis tutorial review focuses on analytical challenges encountered with the liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry determination of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D, which is currently still considered the metabolite that is most representative of vitamin D status. It describes how multiple binding states of circulating 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (phase II metabolites, epimers, free/bioavailable/protein‐bound species) can influence the accuracy of the analytical determination. It also summarizes important chemical species that can inadvertently contribute to vitamin D status and thus cause systematic errors. These interfering endogenous and exogenous compounds might be isomers of vitamin D, constitutional isomers or isobars and the article outlines techniques to eliminate or minimize these interferences, including chromatographic separations, ion mobility spectrometry, and high‐resolution mass spectrometry.

AbstractPlatinum complexes [PtCl2(L)] L = L1, L2 with symmetrical HP (OCH2CMe2NH)2 (L1) and unsymmetrical HP(OCMe2CMe2O)(OCH2CMe2NH) (L2) hydrospirophosphorane (HSP) ligands were demonstrated to play a dual role of catalysts and cytotoxic compounds as well. The structure of new complex [PtCl2(L2)] was confirmed by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods, as well as single X‐ray diffraction studies for [PtCl2{P (OCMe2CMe2O)(OCH2CMe2NH2)}]. HSP ligand coordinated to the platinum center in bidentate κ2‐P,NH2 chelating mode of fashion. Both complexes were found to exhibit catalytic activity for Heck cross‐coupling reactions of iodobenzene with substituted styrenes, with good conversion and yield of stilbenes. Moreover, complexes have been applied as excellent catalysts for highly regioselective hydrosilylation of aromatic and aliphatic terminal olefins, and acetylenes terminal and internal as well. On the other hand, the preliminary biological studies revealed that in the presence of foretinib, drug candidate in clinical trials for the treatment of cancer, platinum complexes revealed increased synergistic effect and efficiently decreased the number of viable cells of triple negative breast cancer MDA‐MB‐231 cell line.

Published: December 2021

AbstractIn this work, four slag samples were collected from the OMB CWS gasification, and the mineral behavior and morphology were studied to explore the formation mechanism of blockage slag. Results showed that amorphous phase is dominant in all slag samples, which was mainly glassy substances rich in low‐temperature eutectic of iron. The precipitation of metallic iron and the crystals of SiC, calcite, and quartz were found in slags which were taken from the bottom of the combustion chamber (S‐b). The quench slag collected from stable operation conditions (S‐s) had a low content of quartz crystalline. While slag from the down pipe of the quench chamber (S‐b) and bulk slag from the water‐cooled pool (S‐p) had observed the precipitation of crystals. Comparing to S‐s, carbon matters in S‐b had a higher order degree of carbon structure. By comparing the slag sample obtained during stable operation (S‐s) with slag blocking occurs (S‐b, S‐d, S‐p), it is found that the blockage of the OMB CWS gasifier was strongly related to unreacted residual carbon and the high content of sodium and iron in coal. They will interact with each other and form small number of crystals and most of the amorphous material.
