Published: August 2021

Recently Social Network has become one of the favorite means for a modern society to perform social interaction and exchange information via the internet. Link prediction is a common problem that has broad application in such social networks, ranging from predicting unobserved interaction to recommending related items. In this paper, we investigate link recommendations over business pages on Facebook Social Network. More specifically, given a company in thenetwork, we want to recommend potential companies to connect with. We start by introducing existing work in link recommendations and some link prediction models as our baseline. We then talk about the Graph Neural Network model SEAL to make a link recommendations in the network. Our results show that SEAL outperformed the compared baseline model while reaching above 94% Area Under Curve accuracy in link recommendations.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate and characterise the Momordica charantia and Ocimum gratissimum leaf powder.
Methodology: The quantitative analyses for proximate, phytochemicals, minerals, and antioxidant activities of Momordica charantia and Ocimum gratissimum leaf powder were carried out using standard procedures.
Results: The result of the proximate analysis showed that both plants contain an appreciable amount of moisture, ash, crude fibre, crude fat, crude protein and nitrogen-free extract content, with M. charantia leaf powder having higher moisture (5.49 ± 0.03%) content than O. gratissimum leaf powder (5.02 ± 0.01%) (P < 0.05). Ocimum gratissimum had higher crude fibre content (25.03 ± 0.25%) than M. charantia leaf powder (20.86 ± 0.12%) (P < 0.05). The protein, ash, crude fat and nitrogen-free extract contents were not significantly different (p> 0.05) between the two leaf powders. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of tannin, flavonoid, phenol, alkaloids, saponin and phytate. Except for alkaloid content, M. charantia leaf powder had higher tannins (1.20±0.02 mg/g), flavonoids (225.64±14.61 mg/g), phenol (21.04±0.57 mg/g), saponins (57.36±0.08 mg/g) and phytate (7.79±0.25 mg/g) content compared to O. gratissimum leaf powder. The antioxidant activity of the plants showed that M. charantia leaf powder possessed higher DPPH scavenging free radical activity than that of O. gratissimum leaf powder. The mineral constituents revealed that both plants contain a significant amount of zinc, calcium, iron and phosphorus, with M. charantia leaf powder having higher zinc and calcium concentration than O. gratissimum leaf powder (p < 0.05). In conclusion, this study shows that the leaf of M. charantia and O. gratissimum plants are rich sources of nutrients and phytochemicals and can be used as natural feed additives in animal nutrition.

Abstract

Objectives
Safety at work is important for workers with low back pain (LBP). This requires good job design that considers both worker capacities and work requirements, a concept called “Fitness for Work.” This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of fitness for work interventions on workers with LBP.

Methods
We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus from 2000 through 2020, using relevant terms.

Results
We reviewed nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) out of 3052 unique references. All studies were RCTs conducted in Western countries. Some RCTs reported positive findings that fitness for work interventions were effective for LBP in facilitating shorter return to work time and reducing short-term sick leave. However, the results of the reviewed studies were inconsistent; therefore, there is insufficient evidence to draw firm conclusions about the effectiveness of fitness for work interventions. Furthermore, the interventions were not effective in reducing long-term sick leave over a 24-month period. There were consistent findings that fitness for work interventions were no more effective than control interventions on pain intensity, disability, and work ability of workers with LBP.

Conclusions
These results suggest that fitness for work interventions may be somewhat effective in facilitating return to work and preventing short-term recurrence in workers with LBP. However, workers need to carefully manage their condition to prevent long-term recurrence.

Abstract

Objectives
To examine the thermoregulatory and fluid-electrolyte responses of firefighters ingesting ice slurry and carbohydrate–electrolyte solutions before and after firefighting operations.

Methods
Twelve volunteer firefighters put on fireproof clothing and ingested 5 g/kg of beverage in an anteroom at 25°C and 50% relative humidity (RH; pre-ingestion), and then performed 30 minutes of exercise on a cycle ergometer (at 125 W for 10 minutes and then 75 W for 20 minutes) in a room at 35℃ and 50% RH. The participants then returned to the anteroom, removed their fireproof clothing, ingested 20 g/kg of beverage (post-ingestion), and rested for 90 minutes. Three combinations of pre-ingestion and post-ingestion beverages were provided: a 25℃ carbohydrate–electrolyte solution for both (CH condition); 25℃ water for both (W condition); and a −1.7℃ ice slurry pre-exercise and 25℃ carbohydrate–electrolyte solution post-exercise (ICE condition).

Results
The elevation of body temperature during exercise was lower in the ICE condition than in the other conditions. The sweat volume during exercise was lower in the ICE condition than in the other conditions. The serum sodium concentration and serum osmolality were lower in the W condition than in the CH condition.

Conclusions
The ingestion of ice slurry while firefighters were wearing fireproof clothing before exercise suppressed the elevation of body temperature during exercise. Moreover, the ingestion of carbohydrate–electrolyte solution by firefighters after exercise was useful for recovery from dehydration.

AbstractPurposeWe evaluated the effect of changing the scan mode of the Elekta X‐ray volume imaging cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) on the accuracy of dose calculation, which may be affected by computed tomography (CT) value errors in three dimensions.MethodsWe used the electron density phantom and measured the CT values in three dimensions. CT values were compared with planning computed tomography (pCT) values for various materials. The evaluated scan modes were for head and neck (S‐scan), chest (M‐scan), and pelvis (L‐scan) with various collimators and filter systems. To evaluate the effects of the CT value error of the CBCT on dose error, Monte Carlo calculations of dosimetry were performed using pCT and CBCT images.ResultsThe L‐scan had a CT value error of approximately 800 HU at the isocenter compared with the pCT. Furthermore, inhomogeneity in the longitudinal CT value profile was observed in the bone material. The dose error for ±100 HU difference in CT values for the S‐scan and M‐scan was within ±2%. The center of the L‐scan had a CT error of approximately 800 HU and a dose error of approximately 6%. The dose error of the L‐scan occurred in the beam path in the case of both single field and two parallel opposed fields, and the maximum error occurred at the center of the phantom in the case of both the 4‐field box and single‐arc techniques.ConclusionsWe demonstrated the three‐dimensional CT value characteristics of the CBCT by evaluating the CT value error obtained under various imaging conditions. It was found that the L‐scan is considerably affected by not having a unique bowtie filter, and the S‐scan without the bowtie filter causes CT value errors in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the CBCT dose errors for the 4‐field box and single‐arc irradiation techniques converge to the isocenter.
From “East vs West” towards international multidisciplinary collaboration: An appraisal of lateral lymph nodes in rectal cancer
Authors: Sluckin Tania C. , Hazen Sanne‐Marije J. A. , Kusters Miranda 
Published: August 2021

AbstractWestern and Eastern practices have traditionally differed in their approach to treating lateral lymph nodes in rectal cancer. While Western clinicians have primarily favored neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy to sterilize lateral compartments, Eastern physicians have often opted for the surgical removed of lymphatic tissue with a lateral lymph node dissection without neoadjuvant treatment. The literature suggests similar oncological outcomes for these two separate techniques, while tangible differences exist. The combination of these paradigms may be beneficial in reducing overall morbidity while sustaining low recurrence rates. This article considers traditional Eastern and Western perspectives, discusses nodal features important for predicting malignancy and attempts to stimulate international, multidisciplinary consensus and collaboration.

AbstractIn recent years, structural and functional alterations in the cerebellum have been reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Intriguingly, recent studies demonstrated that the social behavioral profile of individuals with cerebellar pathologies is characterized by a theory of mind (ToM) impairment, one of the main behavioral hallmarks of ASD. The aim of the present study was to compare ToM abilities and underlying cerebello‐cortical structural patterns between ASD individuals and individuals with cerebellar atrophy to further specify the cerebellar role in mentalizing alterations in ASD. Twenty‐one adults with ASD without language and intellectual impairments (based on DSM‐5), 36 individuals affected by degenerative cerebellar damage (CB), and 67 healthy participants were enrolled in the study. ToM abilities were assessed using the reading the mind in the eyes test and the faux pas test. One‐way ANCOVA was conducted to compare the performances between the two cohorts. Three‐dimensional T1‐weighted magnetic resonance scans were collected, and a voxel‐based morphometry analysis was performed to characterize the brain structural alterations in the two cohorts. ASD and CB participants had comparable ToM performance with similar difficulties in both the tests. CB and ASD participants showed an overlapping pattern of gray matter (GM) reduction in a specific cerebellar portion (Crus‐II). Our study provides the first direct comparison of ToM abilities between ASD and CB individuals, boosting the idea that specific cerebellar structural alterations impact the mentalizing process. The present findings open a new perspective for considering the cerebellum as a potential target for treatment implementation. The present work will critically advance current knowledge about the cerebellar role in ToM alterations of ASD, in particular, elucidating the presence of common cerebellar structural abnormalities in ASD and cerebellar individuals that may underlie specific mentalizing alterations. These findings may pave the way for alternative therapeutic indications, such as cerebellar neuromodulation, with a strong clinical impact.Lay SummaryThe present work will critically advance current knowledge about the cerebellar role in theory of mind alterations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in particular, elucidating the presence of common cerebellar structural abnormalities in ASD and cerebellar individuals that may underlie specific mentalizing alterations.

AbstractDual‐ion mobilities of Na organic batteries are investigated with in‐situ XRD analysis and computational estimation considering molecular alignments in the solid state, signifying the interactive variations of ionic‐pairs of an ionic liquid electrolyte and an antiaromatic molecule, nickel(II) norcorrole (NiNc). An appropriate cavity sphere in three‐dimensional molecular alignments dispensed mobilities of dual‐ion in an ionic liquid, resulting in high battery capacities, supplemented with the comparison of Mes‐NiNc and Ph‐NiNc molecular alignments. In‐situ XRD experiment, computation, and simulation perspectives afforded prospective insertion and desertion behaviors of cations and anions.

AbstractAtopic dermatitis (AD), driven by interleukins (IL‐4/IL‐13), is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intensive pruritus. However, it is unclear how immune signaling and sensory response pathways cross talk with each other. We differentiated itch sensory neuron‐like cells (ISNLCs) from iPSC lines. These ISNLCs displayed neural markers and action potentials and responded specifically to itch‐specific stimuli. These ISNLCs expressed receptors specific for IL‐4/IL‐13 and were activated directly by the two cytokines. We successfully innervated these ISNLCs into full thickness human skin constructs. These innervated skin grafts can be used in clinical applications such as wound healing. Moreover, the availability of such innervated skin models will be valuable to develop drugs to treat skin diseases such as AD.

Published: August 2021

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)‐based cell therapy can provide opportunities for the treatment of various diseases. However, when used in vivo, these cells should be labelled and monitored by a non‐invasive method during delivery to the desired locations within the body. This study describes a biomimicry method that effectively labels human Wharton's jelly‐derived MSCs (hWJ‐MSCs) with a photoacoustics (PA) contrast agent, gold nanorods (GNRs), without the need for transfection agents (TAs). In this method for cell labelling, the hWJ‐MSCs were co‐incubated with non‐adherent cells isolated from fresh umbilical cord for 2 days immediately before incubation with GNRs. Next, hWJ‐MSCs were labelled with the GNRs at a concentration of approximately 1010 nanorads/mL (NR/mL) followed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP‐MS) to verify their labelling effectiveness. The GNRs‐labelled MSCs prepared by this method had an intracellular gold (Au) concentration of 3.4 ± 0.4 pg/cell, which is an acceptable amount for cell labelling.

AbstractAlzheimer's disease and other Tauopathies are associated with neurofibrillary tangles composed of Tau protein, as well as toxic Tau oligomers. Therefore, inhibitors of pathological Tau aggregation are potentially useful candidates for future therapies targeting Tauopathies. Two hexapeptides within Tau, designated PHF6* (275‐VQIINK‐280) and PHF6 (306‐VQIVYK‐311), are known to promote Tau aggregation. Recently, the PHF6* segment has been described as the more potent driver of Tau aggregation. We therefore employed mirror‐image phage display with a large peptide library to identify PHF6* fibril binding peptides consisting of D‐enantiomeric amino acids. The suitability of D‐enantiomeric peptides for in vivo applications, which are protease stable and less immunogenic than L‐peptides, has already been demonstrated. The identified D‐enantiomeric peptide MMD3 and its retro‐inverso form, designated MMD3rev, inhibited in vitro fibrillization of the PHF6* peptide, the repeat domain of Tau as well as full‐length Tau. Dynamic light scattering, pelleting assays and atomic force microscopy demonstrated that MMD3 prevents the formation of tau β‐sheet‐rich fibrils by diverting Tau into large amorphous aggregates. NMR data suggest that the D‐enantiomeric peptides bound to Tau monomers with rather low affinity, but ELISA (enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay) data demonstrated binding to PHF6* and full length Tau fibrils. In addition, molecular insight into the binding mode of MMD3 to PHF6* fibrils were gained by in silico modelling. The identified PHF6*‐targeting peptides were able to penetrate cells. The study establishes PHF6* fibril binding peptides consisting of D‐enantiomeric amino acids as potential molecules for therapeutic and diagnostic applications in AD research.

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe Li−Ni−Co−Mn−O layered cathode materials are promising for the advanced lithium‐ion batteries due to their moderate cost and high specific capacity. However, the low electronic conductivity and poor stability at high currents need to be overcome to meet the ever‐growing demands. In this work, single crystal hexagonal nanosheets of LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 are synthesized by the hydrothermal process, which are further controllably doped with fluorine to improve the lithium storage performance. The fluorine doping can not only improve the layered structure, but also increase the lattice oxygen content, to promote the lithium‐ion migration and crystal structure stability of the layered LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2. Optimized fluorine doping leads to excellent capacity and cyclic stability of the single crystal LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2 nanosheets with an original capacity of 168.3 mAh g−1, and an excellent capacity retention rate of 94.5 % at 1.0 C over 100 cycles, which are superior to the control samples and hold potential for the lithium‐ion battery applications.
