Published: July 2024

Gold ore processing is carried out by amalgamation techniques where mercury (Hg) is used as a medium to bind gold which results in water pollution around the processing area, so it is necessary to remediate water. One way in managing mercury-contaminated water is phytoremediation of the use of water kale (ipomoea aquatica forsk) and to help the phytoremediation process, ingredients are needed that can help the growth of water kale in increasing the absorption of Hg concentrations, namely the addition of liquid NPK fertilizer. This study aims to analyze water kale without liquid NPK fertilizer, and use liquid NPK fertilizer against water kale in reducing the concentration of Hg, pH and TSS metals in water. This study used an experimental method with an experimental box (container) consisting of 4 treatments, then an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test of 5% and Duncan Multiple Rang Test were carried out. The results showed that liquid NPK fertilizer had an influence on reducing the concentration of Hg, pH and TSS in water. Based on the results of experiments using liquid NPK fertilizer, the best treatment results were obtained in mercury absorption by water kale and reducing Hg concentration in water, namely treatment D (contaminated water + water kale + liquid NPK fertilizer) on the 14th day, as evidenced by a decrease in Hg concentration in water by 0.56 mg / l to 0.00486 mg / l, pH 10.1 to 6.86 and TSS 1695 mg / l to 1 mg / l and an increase in nitrate levels, Phosphate and potassium in water can accelerate absorption by water kale.

IntroductionVarious clinical decision-making tools for penicillin allergy have been developed to guide delabeling strategies.ObjectiveTo evaluate the penicillin allergy PEN-FAST decision score in a retrospective cohort of patients, adults and children, with penicillin-reported allergy.MethodsThis monocentric retrospective cohort included patients with penicillin-reported allergy. All patients underwent penicillin allergy testing using skin tests and/or drug challenge. The PEN-FAST score sensitivity, specificity, negative (NPV) and positive (PPV) predictive values, and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) were calculated.ResultsTwo hundred and fourteen patients were included (64 children and 150 adults). Allergy was confirmed in 52 cases (24%). A PEN-FAST score &lt;3 points showed a poor discrimination capacity for the whole population (AUC = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.58–0.75), while it demonstrated a better discrimination capacity in the adults group (AUC = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.63–0.80). The sensitivity to identify penicillin allergy using this cutoff of less than 3 points was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.52–0.80); specificity, 0.58 (95% CI: 0.48–0.68); PPV, 0.43 (95% CI: 0.32–0.55); and NPV, 0.78 (95% CI: 0.68–0.87).ConclusionsAlthough our data confirm a rather good discrimination value of a PEN-FAST score &lt;3 points, its low negative predictive value (78%) did not advocate for its use as an accurate, simple and cost-effective clinical decision-making tool to effectively reduce the number of penicillin skin tests required before direct oral challenge. Further studies are required to improve the predictive capacity of the PEN-FAST score.
Sinoatrial node heterogeneity and fibroblasts increase atrial driving capability in a two-dimensional human computational model

Published: July 2024

Background: Cardiac pacemaking remains an unsolved matter from many perspectives. Extensive experimental and computational studies have been performed to describe the sinoatrial physiology across different scales, from the molecular to clinical levels. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which a heartbeat is generated inside the sinoatrial node and propagated to the working myocardium is not fully understood at present. This work aims to provide quantitative information about this fascinating phenomenon, especially regarding the contributions of cellular heterogeneity and fibroblasts to sinoatrial node automaticity and atrial driving.Methods: We developed a bidimensional computational model of the human right atrial tissue, including the sinoatrial node. State-of-the-art knowledge of the anatomical and physiological aspects was adopted during the design of the baseline tissue model. The novelty of this study is the consideration of cellular heterogeneity and fibroblasts inside the sinoatrial node for investigating the manner by which they tune the robustness of stimulus formation and conduction under different conditions (baseline, ionic current blocks, autonomic modulation, and external high-frequency pacing).Results: The simulations show that both heterogeneity and fibroblasts significantly increase the safety factor for conduction by more than 10% in almost all the conditions tested and shorten the sinus node recovery time after overdrive suppression by up to 60%. In the human model, especially under challenging conditions, the fibroblasts help the heterogeneous myocytes to synchronise their rate (e.g. −82% in σCL under 25 nM of acetylcholine administration) and capture the atrium (with 25% L-type calcium current block). However, the anatomical and gap junctional coupling aspects remain the most important model parameters that allow effective atrial excitations.Conclusion: Despite the limitations to the proposed model, this work suggests a quantitative explanation to the astonishing overall heterogeneity shown by the sinoatrial node.
Muscle structure predictors of vertical jump performance in elite male volleyball players: a cross-sectional study based on ultrasonography
Authors: Jiang WeiDong , Chen Chao , Xu Yilin 
Published: July 2024

ObjectiveThe objective of this investigation is to examine the contribution of key muscle groups in the lower limbs to vertical jumping performance in elite male volleyball players. Specifically, the study focuses on the rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), and lateral gastrocnemius (LG), as well as exploring differences between attack jump and other vertical jump types.MethodsTo achieve this, we employed B-mode ultrasound to evaluate the anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA), muscle thickness (MT), pennation angle (PA), and fascicle length (FL) of the RF, VL, and LG in the participants. Fifteen elite male volleyball players were recruited as participants for this study. Jump heights were measured for four types of vertical jumps: attack jump (AJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), and drop jump (DJ). We conducted regression analyses to assess whether the previously mentioned muscle structures could predict jump performance.ResultsOur findings reveal that the muscle structure of the RF does not exhibit any significant correlation with the height of any jump. However, VL-ACSA displays a significant and the most potent predictive effect on jump height for all four jump types (AJ: R2 = 0.32, p = 0.001; CMJ: R2 = 0.37, p = 0.005; SJ: R2 = 0.52, p = 0.001; DJ: R2 = 0.25, p = 0.021). Conversely, LG-FL only demonstrates a significant and stronger predictive effect on AJ jump height (R2 = 0.18, p = 0.009). Combining VL-ACSA, LG-FL, and training age through multiple linear regression analysis resulted in a highly significant model for predicting AJ jump height (F = 13.86, R2 = 0.73). Moreover, the model incorporating VL-ACSA and training age is also important for predicting CMJ, SJ, and DJ jump heights (F = 8.41, R2 = 0.51; F = 13.14, R2 = 0.63; F = 5.95, R2 = 0.41; respectively).ConclusionThe muscle structure indicators in the lower limbs significantly predict jump performance among elite male volleyball players. However, different jump types are influenced by distinct indicators, particularly in the case of AJ, which is associated with LG-FL. This suggests that enhancing LG-FL may positively impact AJ ability, thereby emphasizing the importance of specificity in training. To optimize specialized jump performance in volleyball players, practitioners are advised to assess VL-ACSA and LG-FL and incorporate step-up and eccentric strength training targeting the calf muscles to yield considerable benefits.

BackgroundThis prospective study aimed to investigate the influence of weight difference between implanted prosthesis and removed bone in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) on hip awareness and patient-reported outcomes.MethodsA total of 48 patients (56 hips) who underwent primary THA were prospectively enrolled. Implanted prosthesis and removed bone were weighed intraoperatively. Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) scores were obtained before and at 1 and 3 months after surgery. Patients were divided into groups A, B, and C according to the percentile of the weight difference.ResultsThe mean weight difference of the implanted prosthesis and removed bone was 117.97 ± 47.35 g. A negative correlation was found among the weight differences of the three groups and 1- and 3-month postoperative FJS (correlation coefficients, −0.331 and −0.734, respectively). A positive correlation was found among the weight difference of the three groups and 3-month postoperative WOMAC (correlation coefficient, 0.403). A significant difference in 3-month postoperative FJS and WOMAC scores was found among the three groups. The mean 3-month postoperative FJS (79.00) of group C was significantly lower than that of group A (93.32) (P &lt; 0.05). The mean WOMAC score (15.83) of group A was significantly lower than that of group C (23.67) (P &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThe implanted prosthesis is larger than the removed bone in cementless THA. The weight difference is negatively correlated with hip function. The weight difference should be minimized to achieve optimal hip joint awareness.
