Published: May 2024

Raman spectroscopy can be used in chemistry not just to determine chemical composition, but also to obtain further information on the material structure. In the spectra of semi-crystalline polymers, distinct bands characteristic of the crystalline or the amorphous phase can be found, the degree of crystallinity determined from them, and the degree of polymer degradation estimated from the crystallinity. In the present study, changes in the 1733 cm−1 band shoulder in Raman spectra of poly(p-di­oxanone) fibres subjected to hydrolytic degradation were evaluated. For different degradation periods, the areas under the shoulder of this band were calculated and a model deconvolution of this band into assumed crystalline and amorphous peaks was also performed. The areas under the shoulder, as well as the model peaks' parameters, were compared with the crystallinity values obtained by differential scanning calorimetry, achieving a good agreement. This work shows an example of using Raman spectroscopy when studying the hydrolytic degradation of polymers.

Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Although the specific pathogenesis of preterm birth (PTB) has not been thoroughly clarified, it is known to be related to various factors, such as pregnancy complications, maternal socioeconomic factors, lifestyle habits, reproductive history, environmental and psychological factors, prenatal care, and nutritional status. PTB has serious implications for newborns and families and is associated with high mortality and complications. Therefore, the prediction of PTB risk can facilitate early intervention and reduce its resultant adverse consequences.
AIM
To analyze the risk factors for PTB to establish a PTB risk prediction model and to assess postpartum anxiety and depression in mothers.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of 648 consecutive parturients who delivered at Shenzhen Bao’an District Songgang People’s Hospital between January 2019 and January 2022 was performed. According to the diagnostic criteria for premature infants, the parturients were divided into a PTB group (n = 60) and a full-term (FT) group (n = 588). Puerperae were assessed by the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), based on which the mothers with anxiety and depression symptoms were screened for further analysis. The factors affecting PTB were analyzed by univariate analysis, and the related risk factors were identified by logistic regression.
RESULTS
According to univariate analysis, the PTB group was older than the FT group, with a smaller weight change and greater proportions of women who underwent artificial insemination and had gestational diabetes mellitus (P < 0.05). In addition, greater proportions of women with reproductive tract infections and greater white blood cell (WBC) counts (P < 0.05), shorter cervical lengths in the second trimester and lower neutrophil percentages (P < 0.001) were detected in the PTB group than in the FT group. The PTB group exhibited higher postpartum SAS and SDS scores than did the FT group (P < 0.0001), with a higher number of mothers experiencing anxiety and depression (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a greater maternal weight change, the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus, a shorter cervical length in the second trimester, a greater WBC count, and the presence of maternal anxiety and depression were risk factors for PTB (P < 0.01). Moreover, the risk score of the FT group was lower than that of the PTB group, and the area under the curve of the risk score for predicting PTB was greater than 0.9.
CONCLUSION
This study highlights the complex interplay between postpartum anxiety and PTB, where maternal anxiety may be a potential risk factor for PTB, with PTB potentially increasing the incidence of postpartum anxiety in mothers. In addition, a greater maternal weight change, the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus, a shorter cervical length, a greater WBC count, and postpartum anxiety and depression were identified as risk factors for PTB.
Need for education of psychiatric evaluation of offenders with mental disorders: A questionnaire survey for Japanese designated psychiatrists
Authors: Shiina Akihiro , Niitsu Tomihisa , Iyo Masaomi , Fujii Chiyo 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
The management of offenders with mental disorders has been a significant concern in forensic psychiatry. In Japan, the introduction of the Medical Treatment and Supervision Act in 2005 addressed the issue. However, numerous psychiatric patients at risk of violence still find themselves subject to the administrative involuntary hospitalization (AIH) scheme, which lacks clarity and updated standards.
AIM
To explore current as well as optimized learning strategies for risk assessment in AIH decision making.
METHODS
We conducted a questionnaire survey among designated psychiatrists to explore their experiences and expectations regarding training methods for psychiatric assessments of offenders with mental disorders.
RESULTS
The findings of this study’s survey suggest a prevalent reliance on traditional learning approaches such as oral education and on-the-job training.
CONCLUSION
This underscores the pressing need for structured training protocols in AIH consultations. Moreover, feedback derived from inpatient treatment experiences is identified as a crucial element for enhancing risk assessment skills.
Effects of strengthening prospective nursing practice on sleep quality, anxiety, and depression of awake patients in intensive care unit
Authors: Lin Fei , Liu Lei 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
The intensive care unit (ICU) is a specialized hospital department. Awake patients in the ICU frequently encounter adverse psychological states, such as anxiety and fear, often accompanied by poor sleep quality. This situation has garnered significant attention within the medical community.
AIM
To investigate the impact of prospective nursing intervention strategies on the sleep quality and negative emotional state of conscious ICU patients.
METHODS
One hundred and twenty ICU awake patients admitted to our hospital were selected and randomly divided into control (n = 60) and observation (n = 60) groups. Patients in the control group were cared for using the conventional nursing model, while patients in the observation group were cared for using the prospective nursing model. Sleep improvement was assessed using the International Standardized Sleep Efficiency Formula and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The PSQI, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, Self-Depression Scale (SDS), and satisfaction before and after treatment were used to assess the negative emotional states of patients under the two care models.
RESULTS
Patient satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group. The GAD-7 and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the total effective rate of sleep improvement in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group. After treatment, the PSQI scores of the two groups significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The decrease in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant.
CONCLUSION
Prospective nursing interventions can improve sleep quality and psychological levels and significantly affect conscious patients in the ICU, which is worthy of clinical application.

In this work, the effect of a new quinoxaline derivative, 2-phenyl-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy) quinoxaline (PYQX), was evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel (CS) in 1 M HCl electrolyte. Weight loss measurement, atomic absorption spectroscopy, potentio­dynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy were employed to assess the inhibitory activity. The electronic properties of the interaction between the inhibitor molecule and the CS substrate were studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, density functional theory (DFT), and Fukui functions. According to AC impedance experiments, the inhibitor under consideration showed a maximum level of 98.1 % inhibition efficiency at 1 mM and 30 °C. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm model explains the adsorption of PYQX on the CS surface. A slope of 1 denotes a strong molecule-substrate interaction, suggesting that the binding occurs at specific surface locations. To understand the functioning of the adsorption mechanism, various thermodynamic and activation parameters were evaluated. PDP tests demonstrated that PYQX functions as a mixed-type inhibitor. Computational correlations (DFT, MD, and Fukui indices) supported the experimental findings.

Detection of Phytopathogens in Agricultural Crops Using Nanodiagnostic Techniques
Authors: Enespa  , Chandra Prem 
Published: May 2024

One of the main things restricting yields of crops is diseases that affect plants. Which continue to be the major agricultural threat in the globe and drastically reduce yields of crops internationally, creating serious issues for the availability of food. Despite the fact that chemical-based medication persists as the main tactic for lowering the incidence of agricultural ailments, their frequent usage can make the microorganisms less likely to spread. Consequently, effective screening techniques for the immediate detection of plant-borne pathogens in the initial phases of infection have becoming vital to preserving sustainable farming and adequate nutrition. Quantum dots (QDs), nanoparticles, and nanotechnology have become crucial instruments for the rapid and highly accurate assessment of a specific biochemical marker. Tools including such as biosensors, QDs, nanostructured platforms, nanoimaging, and nanopore DNA sequencing have an opportunity to enhance infection detection’s accuracy, precision, and efficiency. They can also make rapid analysis easier and be utilized for crop protection and high-quality monitoring. Additionally, nanodiagnostic tool technology enables professionals to assist producers in avoiding the emergence of pandemics by swiftly and simply identifying potentially hazardous pathogenic organisms in crops.

Authors: Soares Inês , Dias Francisco 
Published: May 2024

Em várias regiões portuguesas, os olivais destacam-se como testemunho da vitalidade multimilenar do sector olivícola. Contudo, nas últimas duas décadas, a produção intensiva e super-intensiva de azeite ameaçou a sustentabilidade económica das formas de produção tradicionais, condenando ao definhamento um valioso património cultural, tangível e intangível. Neste contexto, o turismo pode surgir como meio de valorização do património olivícola, e as novas abordagens de turismo criativo poderão ser um meio eficaz de valorização do património olivícola, capacitando atores locais e encorajar a inovação dos produtos turísticos, através de uma utilização eficaz dos recursos endógenos. O presente estudo procede à avaliação do potencial do turismo criativo como abordagem dinâmica e regenerativa do património olivícola, com vista à sua salvaguarda e ao desenvolvimento sustentável das regiões rurais portuguesas. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que o turismo criativo com foco no património olivícola é um pilar fundamental para a regeneração das regiões rurais e para a redução dos desequilíbrios regionais, bem como para a promoção de um turismo mais sustentável e responsável. O estudo revela também a existência de uma forte propensão dos consumidores para a realização de experiências criativas no âmbito do património olivícola.

Background: Antenatal corticosteroids have been shown to reduce complications that arise from preterm birth. Globally, the prevalence of preterm birth is 11.1%, with 60% of neonatal mortality in developing countries being due to preterm births. In Sub-Saharan Africa and Kenya, the preterm birth rate is 18% and 12% respectively. Currently, there is no consensus on the optimal dosing of antenatal corticosteroids. However, authors agree that they should be administered even when delivery is anticipated within 12 hours. Therefore, does incomplete dosing of dexamethasone confer any benefit to premature neonates?
Objective: To compare the early neonatal outcomes among mothers who had preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and received two 12 mg doses of dexamethasone to those who received one 12-mg dose of dexamethasone between 28 to 34 weeks of gestation at KNH
Methods: A retrospective cohort study involving neonates of mothers who had preterm premature rupture of membranes at 28 to 34 weeks gestation in KNH in the period between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2015 and received either two 12 mg doses of dexamethasone (exposed group) or one 12-mg dose (unexposed group). The groups were compared for early neonatal outcomes. Sample size of 328 neonates was calculated, with 164 neonates in each arm.
Results: There were no differences in the early neonatal outcomes (Apgar score <7 at 5 minutes, RDS, NEC, mortality and duration of hospital stay) apart from neonatal septicemia which was higher in the two 12- mg dexamethasone cohort (RR 0.78, 95%CI 0.62 to 0.99; p=0.039). Subgroup analysis by gestational ages showed increased neonatal mortality in the single 12-mg dose group (RR 2.09 95%CI 1.11-3.93; p=0.023).
Conclusion: The incidence of early neonatal outcomes of mothers with preterm PROM at 28 to 24 weeks gestation at KNH in 2011 to 2015 were similar for mothers who received two doses of 12 mg dexamethasone and those who received single dose dexamethasone dose apart from early neonatal septicemia which was increased in the two 12 mg dexamethasone group.

Background: Eclampsia contributes significantly to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality both locally and globally. Identifying risk factors for mortality in women with eclampsia at KNH would serve to try and ameliorate these catastrophic outcomes.
Objective: To determine and compare the laboratory findings associated with mortality in women managed for eclampsia at KNH between 2007 and 2014.
Design: A hospital-based case control study. Cases were women who were managed for eclampsia and died while controls were those who survived eclampsia.
Results: A total of 262 records of patients with eclampsia managed at KNH between 1st January 2007 and 31st December 2014 were retrieved. Compared to controls, cases were older and less educated. Patients aged above 34 years had significantly higher odds of death compared to those between 14 and 24 years (OR 4.03; 95% CI 1.70 - 9.56; p= 0.002). Normal haemoglobin levels offered some protection against death (OR 0.37; 95% CI 0.14 – 0.95, p= 0.116). High creatinine levels significantly increased the odds of death, (OR 7.30; 95% CI 2.50 – 21.4; p< 0.001). High aspartate transferase (AST) levels were significantly associated with death (OR 5.14; 95% CI 1.12 – 23.49, p= 0.005). There was no significant association between death and potassium levels, alanine transaminase levels (ALT), educational attainment or marital status.
Conclusion: Patients on management for eclampsia at KNH aged above 34 years with elevated AST and creatinine levels had increased risk of mortality.

Published: May 2024

Aim: Our study aimed to perform on Moroccan patients non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) concerning the relationship between PD-L1 tumor expression, clinicopathological features and tumor infiltrating immune cells (ICs).
Methods: This is a retrospective study (2019 to 2021) conducted on samples from Moroccan patients with NSCLC at the Pathological Anatomy Laboratory of Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca. Eligible participants for our study had to meet the following predefined criteria: age ≥18 years, histologically confirmed NSCLC, no prior therapeutic interventions, availability of clinical and pathological data, and a usable tumor sample for determining PD-L1 status. Exclusion criteria applied to patients with other types of lung cancer and unusable tumor samples. The evaluation of tumor and immune expression of PD-L1 was performed using immunohistochemistry (IHC), with the 22C3 clone on the Dako Autostainer Link 48 platform. Tumor PD-L1 expression was categorized into 3 levels: TPS <1% (negative expression), TPS 1-49% (low expression), and TPS ≥50% (high expression). ICs infiltrating the tumor expressing PD-L1 were considered positive when more than 1% of positive ICs were present.
Results: Among the 316 analyzed samples, 56.6% showed a negative expression of PD-L1, 16.8% displayed a low expression of PD-L1, and 26.6% exhibited a strong expression. Regarding the histological type, among patients with TPS ≥ 50%, 25.8% had adenocarcinoma. Among patients with TPS ≥ 50%, 24.81% were smokers. PD-L1 was also strongly expressed in the lung (28.2%) and bronchi (26.5%). PD-L1 expression (TPS ≥ 50%) was observed ...( abstract truncated at 250 words).
