Published: October 2019

AbstractThe short‐ and long‐term thrombogenicity of implant materials is still unpredictable, which is a significant challenge for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. A knowledge‐based approach for implementing biofunctions in materials requires a detailed understanding of the medical device in the biological system. In particular, the interplay between material and blood components/cells as well as standardized and commonly acknowledged in vitro test methods allowing a reproducible categorization of the material thrombogenicity requires further attention. Here, the status of in vitro thrombogenicity testing methods for biomaterials is reviewed, particularly taking in view the preparation of test materials and references, the selection and characterization of donors and blood samples, the prerequisites for reproducible approaches and applied test systems. Recent joint approaches in finding common standards for a reproducible testing are summarized and perspectives for a more disease oriented in vitro thrombogenicity testing are discussed.

AbstractExtracellular traps (ETs), such as neutrophil extracellular traps, are a physical mesh deployed by immune cells to entrap and constrain pathogens. ETs are immunogenic structures composed of DNA, histones, and an array of variable protein and peptide components. While much attention has been paid to the multifaceted function of these structures, mechanistic studies of ETs remain challenging due to their heterogeneity and complexity. Here, a novel DNA‐histone mesostructure (DHM) formed by complexation of DNA and histones into a fibrous mesh is reported. DHMs mirror the DNA‐histone structural frame of ETs and offer a facile platform for cell culture studies. It is shown that DHMs are potent activators of dendritic cells and identify both the methylation state of DHMs and physical interaction between dendritic cells and DHMs as key tuning switches for immune stimulation. Overall, the DHM platform provides a new opportunity to study the role of ETs in immune activation and pathophysiology.
Direct Deposited Angstrom‐Scale Nanogap Electrodes with Macroscopically Measurable and Material‐Independent Capabilities for Various Applications

Published: October 2019

AbstractNanogap electrodes (NGEs) with decreasing separations have received growing attention due to their potential in stimulating extensive applications with high scientific impact, including molecular electronics, quantum tunneling, plasmonic optics, and highly sensitive sequencing. Although various NGE‐manufacturing methods have been developed and offer promising results, angstrom‐scale NGEs have not been achieved without requiring sophisticated equipment, restricting materials or substrates, compromising mass‐fabrication compatibility, or/and failing to connect with macroscopic contacts. Here, macroscopically measurable and material‐independent NGEs with separations as low as to 6 angstroms have been achieved through a direct‐deposition technology that simultaneously addresses almost all of the issues mentioned above, highlighting the versatility of the formed NGEs, thus unlocking their full potential for application. The potential application in molecular electronics has been demonstrated experimentally. Importantly, the simple, low‐cost, lithography‐free and CMOS‐compatible fabrication technology will enable a breakthrough in NGE fabrication, enhancing the development of NGE‐related applications in various research fields.

Published: October 2019

AbstractThe surface charge density and the output impedance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are two critical factors for TENGs to speed up their commercialization, so it is important to explore unique methods to reduce the output impedance and increase the surface charge density. Here, an approach is demonstrated to effectively boost the output performance of TENG while reducing the output impedance of TENGs by utilizing grating‐electrode‐enabled surface plasmon excitation. A sustainable and enhanced output performance of about 40 µA (short‐circuit current) and 350 V (peak‐to‐peak voltage at a resistance of 10 MΩ) is produced via grating‐coupled surface plasmon resonance on the TENG with the aluminum grating electrode in the line density of 600 lines mm−1, and it delivers a peak output power of 3.6 mW under a loading resistance of 1 MΩ, giving over 4.5‐fold enhancement in output power and a 75% reduction in the output impedance. Finally a self‐powered ultrasonic ranging system is utilized to verify the capability of the TENG in powering portable electrics.

AbstractThis work investigated the effect of inclination angle on the minimum conveying velocity and the underlying mechanisms. Results showed that the pressure drop increased first and then decreased with the increasing inclination angle at the same mass flux and superficial gas velocity. The changing trend of minimum conveying velocity (umin) and the pressure drop near it can be divided into two types by taking 45° as the boundary, which was consistent with the difference in flow regimes near umin at different inclination angles based on results of high‐speed photography and acoustic emission detection. Furthermore, the pressure drop was decomposed to investigate the underlying mechanism of the changing trend of umin. Results showed that the changing trend of umin was closely related to the particle velocity and the particle velocity obtained by high‐speed photography was in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

AbstractThere are limited observational studies among children diagnosed with von Willebrand Disease (VWD). We analyzed differences in bleeding characteristics by sex and type of VWD using the largest reported surveillance database of children with VWD (n = 2712), ages 2 to 12 years old. We found that the mean ages of first bleed and diagnosis were lowest among children with type 3 VWD. It was even lower among boys than girls among all VWD types, with statistically significant difference among children with type 1 or type 3 VWD. Children with type 3 VWD also reported higher proportions of ever having a bleed compared to other VWD types, with statistically higher proportions of boys compared to girls reporting ever having a bleed with type 1 and type 2 VWD. A similar pattern was observed with the use of treatment product, showing higher usage among type 3 VWD, and among boys than girls with type 1 and type 2 VWD. While there were no differences in life quality or in well‐being status by sex, children with type 3 VWD showed a greater need for mobility assistance compared to children with type 1 and type 2 VWD. In an adjusted analysis among children with type 1 VWD, boys showed a significant association of ever bleeding [hazard ratio 1.4; P‐value <.001)] compared to girls. Understanding phenotypic bleeding characteristics, well‐being status, treatment, and higher risk groups for bleeding among pre‐adolescent children with VWD will aid physicians in efforts to educate families about bleeding symptoms.

Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTA range of polymer blends were prepared via a solvent‐based film casting process using highly/hyperbranched (HB) polydivinylbenzenes (PDVB) polymers of two different molecular weights, linear functionalized (LF), hydrogenated hyperbranched (H‐HB2) PDVB, and linear polystyrene (LP). The thermal, thermomechanical, and rheological properties of the pure polymers and blends were then investigated and the results related to the concentration of “branched” polymer in the blend and the level of branching/polymer end groups present in the “branched” polymers used. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed an increase of the glass transition temperature (Tg) for the blends containing the nonhydrogenated HBs (~108 °C compared to ~102 °C for LP), which was attributed to crosslinking via the unsaturated reactive chain end/pendant groups in the HB (CHCH2). In contrast at the blends, containing the hydrogenated polymers H‐HB2, exhibited the same Tg as LP (~102°C) due to absence of crosslinking from the (H‐HB2) polymer. As the unsaturated HBs were found to be thermally curable, curing temperature rheology measurements were carried out employing a temperature ramp. No specific Tgel (the temperature at which HB gets crosslinked) was identified for LP‐HB1 and LP‐HB2 blends, which might be suggested to be due to the fact that both chain entanglement from linear polystyrene. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Huo Jin‐Hua , Peng Zhi‐Gang , Feng Qian 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTDuring this study, paraffin wax with low melting point was encapsulated in a urea–formaldehyde resin to prepare a novel microencapsulated phase change material (Micro‐P6) for temperature regulation and thermal energy storage. The structure and properties of Micro‐P6 were characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, laser particle size analyzer, thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle analysis, and scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that the chemical structure of Micro‐P6 meets the designed core–shell structure; and the paraffin wax with low melting point was successfully encapsulated by using urea–formaldehyde resin; and the Micro‐P6 shows a spherical structure and rough surface, and the average size is 8.0–10.0 μm. Then, the performances of Micro‐P6, such as core content, mechanical property, thermal conductivity and durability, were tested. Based on above characterization and performance test, it was indicated that the synthesized Micro‐P6 could be used in the field of cementing and construction for temperature regulation and thermal energy storage. The applications of Micro‐P6 in the field of cementing and construction will be completed in our next study. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020, 137, 48578.
Fast meteor tracking in noisy video sequences
Authors: Vítek Stanislav , Nasyrova Maria 
Published: October 2019

AbstractMeteor recording, detection, and analysis is one of the traditional topics of astronomy. This paper deals with fast‐tracking of faint meteors and meteor showers in video sequences with high frame rates. Since meteors are fast optical events, the utilization of cameras with high frame rates and short exposure times is the standard technique of meteor tracks capture. Low efficiency of such camera systems is typically compensated with image intensifiers, mostly based on the microchannel plate (MCP). In this work, we use image data captured with the meteor automatic imager and analyzer, double‐station system dedicated for observing faint meteor showers. The system works with minimal human interaction, and it is necessary to automatically process (i.e., identify all meteor candidates) all captured data as fast as possible. Results show possible speed‐up of the image processing method when fluctuations of MCP are reduced.

AbstractIntroductionFactors that influence antidepressant (AD) prescription and use during pregnancy are multiple including, in particular, the balance between the potential risk of untreated depression and the potential risk of AD treatment. Surveillance of temporal trends of AD use might identify areas requiring further research. We studied the use of ADs before, during, and after pregnancy using national data across two decades in Denmark.MethodsWe included 1,232,233 pregnancies leading to live birth in Denmark between 1 January 1997 and 31 December 2016. Information on redemption of AD prescriptions was obtained from the Danish National Prescription Register.ResultsWe identified 29,504 (2.4%) pregnancies having at least one AD prescription (96,232 AD prescriptions) during pregnancy. The majority redeemed more than one prescription (69.7%) often for a single kind of AD (83.5%), and in 94% of the AD‐exposed pregnancies, the estimated duration of treatment was 1 month or longer. Prescription of ADs during pregnancy increased steadily from 0.4% in 1997 to 4.6% in 2011, but decreased thereafter to 3.1% in 2016. The proportion of pregnancies with ADs in 2011 was 6.05‐fold higher than that in 1997. The temporal trends in AD prescription in the years before and after pregnancy were similar to the trend during pregnancy. The decreasing use of ADs during pregnancy after 2011 was mainly driven by a decrease in the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), especially citalopram, the main type of SSRIs used in Denmark.ConclusionPrescription of ADs during pregnancy in Denmark increased steadily from 1997 to 2011 but decreased sharply thereafter. More research is needed to show whether the same trend exists in other populations, like women of reproductive age, men of reproductive age, and old people, and other countries. We also need to find explanation for the decreasing trend in recent years and potential risk for untreated depression.

Published: October 2019

AbstractA large body of research indicates that therapists can have a strong impact on treatment outcome, but little is known about the relationship between therapist effects and treatment phase. Our objective was to examine the interactive effect of therapist effectiveness and treatment phase on the outcome of 1 year of dynamic therapy. Therapists' effectiveness scores were defined as the extent of change for each therapist on the OQ‐45 scores across their clients at five time points. The sample included 24 therapists who conducted psychodynamic therapy with 65 clients in a naturalistic setting. A three‐level hierarchical linear model was applied. In accordance with the hypotheses, a significant main effect was found for effectiveness (estimate = 1.69, p < .05), for the two‐way interactions between effectiveness and time (estimate = 1.36, p < .01), and for effectiveness and initial severity of symptoms (estimate = −0.02, p < .05). Simple slope analysis was conducted showing that among the less effective therapists, no significant change in outcome was found as time progressed; among the more effective therapists, outcome improved as time progressed. In addition, therapists were more influential in the treatments of clients with low initial severity. Our findings lend some support to the notion that therapist effects become increasingly influential as therapy progresses. The findings highlight the need for further research into changes in the magnitude of therapists' effect in various phases of therapy. Furthermore, the severity level of the initial symptoms of the client should be taken into account.

Published: October 2019

AbstractPhototransistors combine light detection and signal amplification functions into a single device and are regarded as one of the most important components for optoelectronic integration. In recent years, organic phototransistors (OPTs) have attracted worldwide interest because of their potential advantages of low cost, light weight, excellent flexibility and broadband detection. In this review, a brief description of the working mechanisms and performance metrics of OPTs is presented. Afterwards, the recent progress of OPTs based on the conventional planar field‐effect transistor structure is presented. Furthermore, from the perspective of novel device architectures and interface engineering, strategies for improving the performance of OPTs are discussed. Flexible optoelectronic devices based on OPTs for potential application in next‐generation wearable and human‐friendly electronics are also highlighted. Finally, an outlook for future research directions and challenges for OPTs is provided.
