The latest research progress on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome and metabolic syndrome
Authors: Feng Tong , Ou Qiong 
Published: July 2024

AbstractObstructive sleep apnea–hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is the most common subtype of sleep‐disordered breathing, characterized by symptoms such as snoring, nocturnal sleep disturbances, and excessive daytime sleepiness. OSAHS is defined by recurrent upper airway collapses during sleep, leading to apneas or hypopneas. These episodes result in intermittent nocturnal hypoxia and sleep fragmentation, which provoke sympathetic activation, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation, ultimately causing chronic damage across multiple bodily systems. OSAHS significantly increases the risk of various cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. In China, approximately 176 million individuals are estimated to have OSAHS, with about 60 million experiencing moderate to severe forms of the condition. This paper reviews the epidemiological characteristics of OSAHS, the evolution of diagnostic criteria, and the association between OSAHS and metabolic syndrome (MetS), emphasizing the high prevalence of MetS among OSAHS patients. Through cross‐sectional analysis, cohort studies, and interventional studies, the complex interactions between OSAHS and MetS are examined, proposing therapeutic strategies to improve these metabolic anomalies, including continuous positive airway pressure therapy and weight management.
Impact of state and trait emotion regulation on daily emotional exhaustion among Korean school counsellors

Published: July 2024

AbstractSchool counsellors in South Korea face significant emotional exhaustion due to their challenging occupational environment. Previous studies have shown that cognitive reappraisal (CR) reduces emotional exhaustion, whereas expressive suppression (ES) increases it. However, these findings predominantly rely on trait questionnaires within cross‐sectional approaches, overlooking the dynamic nature of emotion regulation (ER) strategy selection. Individuals may choose strategies that deviate from their general tendencies based on situational demands. There is limited empirical knowledge regarding the interaction between trait and state regulation strategies and their influence on exhaustion. Utilizing the strategy‐situation fit hypothesis, this study examines the context‐specific effects of ER strategies, considering both situational contexts and individual response tendencies. A multilevel analysis was performed to examine the influence of state and trait ER strategies on daily emotional exhaustion. A daily diary study was conducted for 5 days with 111 Korean school counsellors. Daily CR was associated with lower daily exhaustion and daily ES predicted higher daily exhaustion. Contrastingly, none of the trait ER strategies had an impact on daily exhaustion, but the trait level of both strategies significantly moderated the relationship between daily CR and exhaustion. The positive impact of daily CR was more pronounced in school counsellors who often utilized suppression strategies, and this impact was also evident in trait reappraisal. Re‐evaluating daily emotions instead of suppressing them may assist in coping with emotional exhaustion caused by work. The effectiveness of these strategies may vary based on an individual's inclination to regulate emotions as state and trait. ER may aid in implementing preventive interventions for school counsellors experiencing emotional exhaustion.

AbstractDespite great advances in vitrimer, it remains highly challenging to achieve a property portfolio of excellent mechanical properties, desired durability, and high fire safety. Thus, a catalyst‐free, closed‐loop recyclable transesterification vitrimer (TPN1.50) with superior mechanical properties, durability, and fire retardancy is developed by introducing a rationally designed tertiary amine/phosphorus‐containing reactive oligomer (TPN) into epoxy resin (EP). Because of strong covalent interactions between TPN and EP and its linear oligomer structure, as‐prepared TPN1.50 achieves a tensile strength of 86.2 MPa and a toughness of 6.8 MJ m−3, superior to previous vitrimer counterparts. TPN1.50 containing 1.50 wt% phosphorus shows desirable fire retardancy, including a limiting oxygen index of 35.2% and a vertical burning (UL‐94) V‐0 classification. TPN1.50 features great durability and can maintain its structure integrity in 1 M HCl or NaOH solution for 100 days. This is because the tertiary amines are anchored within the cross‐linked network and blocked by rigid P‐containing groups, thus effectively suppressing the transesterification. Owing to its good chemical recovery, TPN1.50 can be used as a promising resin for creating recyclable carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer composites. This work offers a promising integrated method for creating robust durable fire‐safe vitrimers which facilitate the sustainable development of high‐performance polymer composites.

AbstractCatalytic nanoparticle@metal‐organic framework (MOF) composites have attracted significant interest in point‐of‐care testing (POCT) owing to their prominent catalytic activity. However, the trade‐off between high loading efficiency and high catalytic activity remains challenging because high concentrations of nanoparticles tend to cause the misjoining and collapse of the MOFs. Herein, a facile strategy is reported to encapsulate high concentrations of platinum (Pt) nanoparticles into zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) using polydopamine (PDA) as a support for Pt@ZIF‐8 and as a flexible scaffold for further immobilization of Pt nanoparticles. The resulting composite (Pt@ZIF‐8@PDA@Pt) exhibits ultrahigh Pt nanoparticle loading efficiency, exceptional catalytic activity, stability, and a bright colorimetric signal. Following integration with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), the detection limits for pre‐ and post‐catalysis detection of B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are 0.18 and 0.015 ng mL−1, respectively, representing a 6‐fold and 70‐fold improvement compared to gold nanoparticle‐based LFIA. Moreover, Pt@ZIF‐8@PDA@Pt‐based LFIA achieves 100% diagnostic sensitivity for NT‐proBNP in a cohort of 184 clinical samples.

France-Wide Monitoring of 1,4-Dioxane in Raw and Treated Water: Occurrence and Exposure Via Drinking Water Consumption
Authors: Bach Cristina , Boiteux Virginie , Dauchy Xavier 
Published: July 2024

AbstractIn recent years, 1,4-dioxane has emerged as a pollutant of increasing concern following widespread detection in the aquatic environment of several countries. This persistent contaminant with specific physical and chemical properties can be rapidly dispersed and transported to river banks, groundwater and drinking water. Given the limited data on its occurrence in France, it was considered necessary to assess the potential exposure of the French population to this compound in drinking water. An analytical method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) combined with gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) was developed and validated during this study with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.15 µg/L. Recoveries in natural water matrices ranged from 113 to 117% with a relative bias not exceeding 17%. This method was used for a nationwide campaign at almost 300 sites, evenly distributed over 101 French départements (administrative units), including some that were overseas. Of the 587 samples analysed, only 8% had a concentration that was greater than or equal to the LOQ. 1,4-Dioxane was detected mainly (63%) in raw and treated water from sites associated with historical industrial practices related to the use of chlorinated solvents. Concentrations of 1,4-dioxane ranging from 0.19 to 2.85 µg/L were observed in the raw water and from 0.18 to 2.46 µg/L in the treated water. Drinking water treatment plants using ozonation, granular activated carbon and chlorination have limited effectiveness in the removal of 1,4-dioxane. The results of this study are the first step towards bridging the knowledge gap in the occurrence of 1,4-dioxane in France.

Published: July 2024

AbstractIntroduction: Muscle biopsy plays an important role in the diagnostic evaluation of individuals with suspected idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). However, variability in biopsy practices may result in a heterogenous patient experience. The existing literature offers limited insights into the experiences and perspectives of patients undergoing muscle biopsy. Methods: This study employed a 27-item online survey to comprehensively characterise the experience of muscle biopsy among Australian patients, including their concerns, beliefs about procedure utility, information sources, physical sensations, perceived complications and recovery. Results: A total of 111 Australian individuals who reported a diagnosis of IIM completed the survey, with data collected from March to June 2023. Most participants had inclusion body myositis (76/111, 68.5%) and had undergone one biopsy procedure (87/111, 78.4%) as part of their IIM work-up. Nine of the 111 respondents did not undergo a muscle biopsy. The procedure was well-tolerated by many respondents, however, a notable number of respondents experienced post-procedural pain lasting > 72 h (27/102, 26.5%), increasing weakness post-biopsy (13.7%), numbness at the biopsy site (18/102, 17.6%) and a recovery time beyond 3 days (36/102, 35.3%). A substantial minority (30/111, 27%) felt they were inadequately informed about the risks and benefits of the procedure. Conclusions: This survey highlights that although muscle biopsy is often well-tolerated, there are considerable patient concerns that are often inadequately addressed. Our findings underscore the need for improved patient-doctor communication and support throughout the biopsy process.
Effects of several long-term soil health treatments on populations of Pratylenchus penetrans and the soil microbial community

Published: July 2024

AbstractSoil suppressiveness can reduce the damage by plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) in agricultural soils and is conveyed by the activity of soil microorganisms. While natural suppressiveness has been reported, it is still poorly understood if soil suppressiveness can be elicited by manipulating the soil microbial community. In the present study we assessed the number of the Pratylenchus penetrans (Pp) and the bacterial and fungal community composition over 7 years in a long-term soil health experiment. The field experiment consisted of an organic and conventional agricultural land management system and three soil health treatments (SHT): an untreated control (CT), anaerobic disinfestation (AD) and a combination of marigold cover cropping, compost and chitin amendment (CB). The land management systems were kept continuously, while the soil health treatments were applied only twice in seven years. The microbial community significantly differed between the organic and conventional system, but there was no significant difference in Pp numbers between the two systems. However, both the CB treatment and to a lesser extent the AD treatment reduced Pp numbers and increased yield with the effect being the strongest in the years immediately after the treatment. Accordingly, both the bacterial and fungal community differed significantly between the treatments, the differences being largest in the years after the treatments. Notably, the CB treatment elicited both long-term changes in the microbial community and a reduction of Pp numbers lasting for at least three years. These results indicated that a combination of treatments can lead to an altered soil microbial community in combination with persisting suppressiveness of Pp.

Abstract
Objective
To explore the value of treatment choice and clinical prognosis for Riolan’s arch in chronic superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ischaemic disease in vascular surgery.

Methods
The clinical data of 215 patients with SMA ischaemic disease (41 cases with Riolan’s arch and 174 cases without) admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University (China) from January 2019 to April 2023 were reviewed. Clinical characteristics, imaging findings, treatment, perioperative complications, and patient follow-up data were analysed to observe the impact of Riolan’s arch on the prognosis of patients with SMA ischaemic disease.

Results
There were significant differences in body mass index (Riolan’s arch group: 22.82 ± 3.28 vs 24.03 ± 4.26 in non-Riolan’s arch group, P = 0.049), Takayasu’s arteritis (4.9% vs 0, respectively, P = 0.036), and secondary intervention (3.3% vs 1.9%, respectively, P < 0.001) between the two groups. Propensity score matching was used to exclude the effect of baseline data on patient outcomes. There were significant differences related to therapy method (conservative treatment, Riolan’s arch group: 24.1% vs 39.7% in the non-Riolan’s arch group; operative treatment, Riolan’s arch group: 51.7% vs 20.7% in the non-Riolan’s arch group, P = 0.014), as well as in-hospital time (9.79 ± 4.20 vs 6.86 ± 4.32, respectively, P = 0.011). There was no statistically significant difference in Kaplan–Meier curves between the two groups (log-rank test P = 0.476).

Conclusions
Riolan’s arch plays an important compensatory role in SMA ischaemic disease, especially in chronic disease. We found significant differences in the treatment methods and length of hospital stay of Riolan’s arch, which may suggest that Riolan’s arch has some reference value in the choice of treatment mode.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Background
The relationship between fecal incontinence (FI) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been well recognized, but a comprehensive understanding of this relationship is lacking, taking into account demographic factors and lifestyle variables.

Methods
Using a cross-sectional approach, 13,510 adults aged 20 years and older were identified from the 2005–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs), and further subgroup analyses and propensity score analysis were performed to ensure stable results.

Results
Among 13,510 adults, 11.2% had T2D, and 8.8% had FI. We found a strong T2D-FI link (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.09–1.54, P < 0.001), even after adjusting for covariates. Age > 45 was a critical factor, with a stronger T2D-FI association. Sedentary behavior (OR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.15–1.73) in T2D patients were associated with FI.

Conclusions
Our study highlights the significant T2D-FI link in US adults, especially in older T2D patients. Lifestyle changes may reduce FI risk. More research is needed for causality and mechanisms.
An innovative reconstruction procedure for fractures extending to the posterior orbital floor: utilizing the inferior margin of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone for reconstruction
Authors: Takabayashi Kosuke , Maeda Yohei , Kataoka Nobuya 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose
No definitive procedures have been proposed for orbital floor fractures extending to the slope of the posterior end, which is a challenging problem. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of an orbital reconstruction procedure based on anatomical landmarks that we developed, called the three landmarks procedure (TLP).

Methods
This study is a single-center retrospective cohort study conducted by the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Japanese Red Cross Asahikawa Hospital. Data were collected from April 2000 to December 2023. The effect of TLP and the balloon procedure (BP) on ocular movement was compared. The prevalence of postoperative enophthalmos after TLP was examined.

Results
The study included 17 patients who underwent TLP and 25 patients who underwent BP. Postoperative mean Hess area ratio (HAR%) was 98.3 (95% confidence interval (CI), 97.0–99.6) in the TLP group and 88.6 (95% CI 83.2–94.0) in the BP group. Among study patients with fractures extending to the posterior slope, 14 underwent TLP and 16 underwent BP. Postoperative mean HAR% was 98.5 (95% CI 97.3–99.7) in the TLP group and 89.2 (95% CI 82.4–95.8) in the BP group. Among all patients who underwent TLP, mean postoperative enophthalmos was 0.06 mm (95% CI − 0.32 to 0.44). It was 0.14 mm (95% CI − 0.31 to 0.59) among patients with fractures extending to the posterior slope.

Conclusion
TLP resulted in better postoperative ocular movements than BP. Furthermore, TLP is an effective technique for treating fractures extending to the posterior slope, which are challenging to reconstruct.

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Purpose
This pilot study evaluated indocyanine green-guided near-infrared fluorescence (ICG-NIRF) imaging of testicular blood flow to predict long-term testicular atrophy after testicular torsion (TT) surgery.

Methods
The subjects of this retrospective study were patients who underwent surgery for TT at our hospital between December, 2020 and July, 2022. After detorsion, testicular blood flow was evaluated by ICG-NIRF imaging and classified into three categories: fluorescence detected, no fluorescence detected, and fluorescence detected only in the tunica albuginea vessels. Testicular volume was measured by ultrasonography up to 12 months after surgery to evaluate long-term outcomes.

Results
Twelve patients were included in this analysis. We found a 100% correlation between the absence of ICG-NIRF signals and subsequent testicular atrophy. In three patients without an ICG-NIRF signal, the median testis size 12 months postoperatively was significantly smaller (16.5% of the contralateral testis; range 13–20%) than that in six patients with an ICG-NIRF signal (96%; 89–115%) (p = 0.013). Mild atrophy (74.5%; 73–76%) was also observed in the three patients for whom an ICG-NIRF signal was detected only in the tunica albuginea vessels.

Conclusions
Our pilot study highlights the potential of ICG-NIRF imaging as a prognostic tool for guiding surgical decision-making for patients with TT, by predicting postoperative testicular atrophy.
Suprapterional keyhole approach for anteromedial skull base lesions: How I do it
Authors: Inomo Toshiaki , Iwami Kenichiro , Watanabe Tadashi , Osuka Koji 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background
For a minimally invasive treatment approach to the anteromedial part of the anterior cranial fossa (ACF), a small incision and craniotomy of the posterolateral part of the ACF are preferable.

Method
We described the concept and technique of suprapterional keyhole approach (SPKA), which uses an exoscope and endoscope to treat ACF lesions.

Conclusion
The SPKA enables ACF observation from the lateral direction; the endoscope’s extended viewing angles enable the observation of the anteromedial part of the ACF, including the bilateral olfactory groove. Facial skin and large scalp incisions are avoided, making this approach efficient for ACF lesions.

Abstract
Objectives
Evaluate the 5-year safety and efficacy of a narrow-diameter (3.0 mm) implant that was immediately provisionalized with a single crown in the maxillary lateral incisor or mandibular central or lateral incisor area.

Materials and methods
An open, prospective, single-cohort, multicenter study was conducted, in which narrow-diameter implants were placed in fresh, healed extraction, or congenitally missing sites. All patients were required to meet strict criteria for immediate loading. The primary endpoints were marginal bone levels (MBL) and MBL changes (MBLC) from implant placement to 5-year follow-up. Secondary endpoints included cumulative 5-year survival and success rates, soft tissue health, and esthetic parameters.

Results
A total of 91 implants were placed in 77 patients. The mean MBL remained stable from the 1-year (− 0.79 ± 0.73 mm, n = 75) to 5-year (− 0.74 ± 0.87 mm, n = 65) follow-up. A marginal bone gain of 0.11 ± 0.83 mm was observed from the 1-year to 5-year follow-up. The cumulative 5-year survival rate was 96.5%, and the cumulative 5-year success rate was 93%. The clinical parameters, including the modified plaque index, modified sulcus bleeding index, Jemt’s papilla index, and pink esthetic score improved throughout the 5-year study.

Conclusions
The study demonstrated that narrow-diameter implants represent a safe and predictable treatment option for subjects suitable for immediate loading and with limited bone volume or limited inter-dental space.

Clinical relevance
Narrow-diameter implants with immediate provisionalization can be considered for use to restore missing or damaged teeth with predictable functional and esthetic outcomes. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02184845).
