AbstractAimThe present study investigated the prognostic factors associated with actual 5‐y recurrence‐free survival (RFS) after upfront surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer (R‐PC) in patients who were deemed not to require neoadjuvant treatment.MethodsBetween 2007 and 2016, 316 patients who underwent pancreatectomy for radiologically R‐PC were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the predictors of actual 5‐y RFS. Predictors were identified using logistic regression analysis of preoperative evaluable factors. The cutoff values for continuous variables were determined based on a minimum p‐value approach (model 1) or the value that maximized the rate of 5‐y RFS survivors (model 2).ResultsFifty‐one patients (16.1%) achieved a 5‐y RFS. A tumor size ≤23 mm, the absence of serosal invasion on computed tomography (CT), and Neutrophil‐to‐Lymphocyte Ratio <1.0, were significantly associated with the 5‐y RFS in model 1. A Prognostic Nutritional Index ≥58 and the absence of serosal invasion and extrapancreatic nerve plexus invasion on CT were significantly associated with 5‐y RFS in model 2. Only six (11.8%, model 1) and four (7.8%, model 2) patients had all three prognostic factors, and their 5‐y RFS rates were 83.3% and 100%, respectively.ConclusionsA modest number of patients who underwent upfront surgery achieved 5‐y RFS, but only ~10% of them could be identified preoperatively. Based on these results, almost all R‐PC patients are forced to undergo neoadjuvant treatment in daily practice.
Still high risk? A review of translocation t(14;16) in multiple myeloma
Authors: Mian Hira , Kaiser Martin , Fonseca Rafael 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMultiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous and complex disease, both in mutational biology as well as in the clinical presentation of patients. While tailored and biomarker‐targeted therapy remains the direct goal for patient‐centric management, existing therapies in MM remain largely uniform. Translocation t(14;16) is a rare primary genetic event found in less than 5% of patients with newly diagnosed MM. Here, we present an overview of the biology of t(14;16), epidemiology, clinical presentation, prognostic impact, and discuss the future clinical and therapeutic strategies for targeting this rare yet high‐risk group in MM to optimize patient outcomes.
Preparation and performance exploration of 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid‐based copolyester bioplastics: Controlling thermal properties, tensile properties, and surface hydrophilicity through composition

Published: June 2024

AbstractTo improve the comprehensive properties of polybutylene furandicarboxylate (PBF), 2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid (2,5‐FDCA), and aliphatic chain diol 1,8‐octanediol and 1,4‐butanediol were used as monomers to synthesize a series of bio‐based polybutylene glycol‐octanediol 2,5‐furandicarboxylate (PBOF). The results showed that the chemical composition of PBOF could be controlled through the molar ratio of monomers. Compared with PBF, as the proportion of octanediol segments gradually increased, PBOF could gradually transform from semi‐crystalline thermoplastic to amorphous form, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) gradually decreased. The crystallization ability reduced but a part of the crystal area was still retained. The copolyesters still has a decomposition temperature above 370°C, indicating excellent thermal stability. The introduction of the octanediol segment significantly improved the tensile mechanical properties and flexibility of the POBF copolyester. These meet the requirements for the preparation of bio‐based engineering plastics. The water absorption rate of PBOF showed that it may have certain degradable potential. PBOF copolyesters have potential application prospects in bio‐based medical plastics and biodegradable packaging polymer materials after copolymerization modification.
Task‐induced deactivation dysfunction during reward processing is associated with low self‐esteem in a possible subtype of major depression

Published: June 2024

AbstractIntroductionLow self‐esteem is a frequent symptom in major depressive disorder (MDD). This functional magnetic resonance imaging study investigated whether MDD patients with low self‐esteem show a distinct neural pathophysiology. Previous studies linked low self‐esteem to reduced task‐induced deactivation of the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pgACC) as a part of the default mode network, and to reduced connectivity between pgACC and reward system. Goya‐Maldonado et al. identified an MDD subtype with pgACC and ventral striatal overactivations during reward processing. We hypothesized that this subtype might be characterized by low self‐esteem.MethodsEighty‐three MDD patients performed the desire–reason dilemma task and completed the Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale (RSES). Brain activity during bottom‐up reward processing was regressed upon the RSES scores, controlling for depression severity measured by the Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale. To corroborate the findings, we compared self‐esteem scores between patient subgroups with impaired task‐induced deactivation (n = 31) and with preserved task‐induced deactivation (n = 31) of the pgACC.ResultsConsistent with our a priori hypothesis, activity in a bilateral fronto‐striatal network including pgACC and ventral striatum correlated negatively with RSES scores, also when controlling for depression severity. In the additional analysis, patients with impaired task‐induced pgACC deactivation showed lower self‐esteem (t (52.82) = −2.27; p = .027, d = 0.58) compared to those with preserved task‐induced pgACC deactivation.ConclusionsWe conclude that low self‐esteem in MDD patients is linked to a task‐induced deactivation dysfunction of the pgACC. Our findings suggest that a previously described possible subtype of MDD with pgACC and ventral striatal overactivations during reward processing is clinically characterized by low self‐esteem.
Corrupt practice and sustainability reporting: Lifecycle perspective
Authors: Khatib Saleh F. A. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe study employs a lifecycle perspective to investigate the relationship between corrupt practices and sustainability reporting. The final sample is composed of 1388 firms from four European countries, namely France, Germany, UK, and Sweden. Data were retrieved from the Thomson Reuters database from 2015 to 2022. The findings revealed that corruption significantly reduces sustainability disclosure across different life cycle stages, albeit with varying magnitudes, perhaps due to the misallocation of resources and lack of incentives. The findings also showed that the detrimental effects of corruption on sustainability reporting is most profound during the “Shake‐Out” stage of a company life cycle. By adopting a lifecycle perspective, the research offers a new and in‐depth understanding of corruption's impact on environmental disclosure, offering policymakers and regulators valuable insights into enhancing environmental and sustainability practices.

AbstractObjectiveTo achieve patient‐centricity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treatment, it is essential to clarify the differences in perspectives between patients and physicians. This cross‐sectional analysis of a web survey aimed to clarify the differences in expectations and concerns between mRCC patients and physicians regarding systemic mRCC therapy in Japan.MethodsSurveys from 83 patients and 165 physicians were analyzed.ResultsThe top three most significant differences in expectations of systemic therapy between patients and physicians (patient‐based physician value) were “Chance of achieving treatment‐free status” (−30.1%, p < 0.001), “Longer survival” (+25.8%, p < 0.001), and “Chance of eliminating all evidence of disease” (−25.6%, p < 0.001). The top three most significant differences in concerns for systemic therapy between patients and physicians (patient‐based physician value) were “Lack of efficacy” (+36.1%, p < 0.001), “Lack of knowledge of treatment” (−28.2%, p < 0.001), and “Daily activities affected by side effects” (+22.3%, p < 0.001). Diarrhea, fatigue/malaise, and nausea/vomiting were patients' most distressing adverse events; 50.6% of patients had difficulty telling their physicians about adverse events such as fatigue, anxiety, and depression.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated a gap between patients with mRCC and physicians in their expectations and concerns for systemic therapy. Japanese patients with mRCC suffer from a number of adverse events, some of which are not shared with physicians. This study highlights the importance of communicating well with patients in clinical practice to achieve patient‐centricity in systemic treatment for mRCC.

Authors: Poco Louisa Camille , Malhotra Chetna 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundPatients with metastatic cancer experience high healthcare use and costs, most of which are unplanned. We aimed to assess whether patients with more competent informal caregivers have lower unplanned healthcare use and costs.MethodsThis study used data from a prospective cohort of patients with solid metastatic cancer. Patients and their informal family caregivers were surveyed every 3 months until patients' death. Patients' unplanned healthcare use/costs were examined through hospital records. Caregivers responded to the 4‐item Caregiver Competence Scale. First, in a deceased subsample of patients and their caregivers, we used patients' last 2 years of data (226 dyads) to assess the association between caregivers' competency (independent variable) and patients' unplanned healthcare use/costs (outcomes). Next, in a prospective sample of patient‐caregiver dyads (up to 15 surveys), we assessed whether patients' functional well‐being and psychological distress moderated the association between caregivers' competency and unplanned healthcare use/costs (311 dyads).ResultsIn the deceased subsample, during last 2 years of patients' life, caregivers' higher competency lowered the odds of patients' unplanned healthcare use [OR (CI) = 0.86 (0.75, 0.98), p = 0.03], and was associated with a significant reduction in unplanned healthcare costs [Coeff (CI) = −0.19 (−0.36, −0.01), p = 0.03]. In the prospective sample, patients' functional well‐being and psychological distress moderated the association between caregivers' competency and patients' unplanned healthcare use/costs.ConclusionWith deterioration in patients' condition and an increase in caregiving demands, improving caregivers' competency can reduce patients' unplanned healthcare use and costs. This should be further tested in future trials.

Published: June 2024

AbstractNitrogen oxides (NOx) are produced during the high‐temperature combustion process of fossil fuels, which are considered as an atmospheric pollutant that can lead to significant environmental issues such as acid rain and photochemical smog. Therefore, it is essential to minimize the concentration of NOx in the atmosphere in order to protect the ecological environment upon which human beings depends. The integrated utilization of NOx removal technology results in environmentally harmless compounds, such as N2 and H2O, through the processes like adsorption, separation, catalytic reduction and other methods. Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are seen as ideal candidates for addressing NOx pollution issues in the atmosphere due to their high specific surface area, ultrahigh porosity and unlimited modifiability. Herein, the latest research progress in MOFs and MOFs‐derived materials related to NOx adsorption, separation and catalytic reduction is presented and summarized. Besides, some opportunities and problems need to be solved in this field are proposed and discussed.

Published: June 2024

SummaryKnowledge graphs contain a large amount of entity and relational data, and graph neural networks, as a class of efficient graph representation techniques based on deep learning, excel in knowledge graph modeling. However, previous neural network architectures for the most part only learn node representations and do not fully consider the heterogeneity of data. In this article, we innovatively propose a privacy attack framework based on IoT, PAFI, which is able to classify entities and relations, learn embedding representations in multi‐relational graphs, and can be applied to some existing neural network algorithms. Based on this, a fine‐grained privacy attack model, FPM, is proposed, which can perform attack operations on multiple targets, achieve selectivity of target tasks, and greatly improve the generalization ability of the attack model. In this article, the effectiveness of PAFI and FPM is demonstrated by real network datasets, and compared with previous attack methods, both of which achieve good results.
Battery‐less RF‐powered circuits for non‐contact voltage monitoring of electric systems: Circuit modeling and SPICE analysis
Authors: Colella Riccardo , Catarinucci Luca , Grassi Giuseppe 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMonitoring electric power systems is essential for avoiding disruptions, improving efficiency, and detecting faults. Traditional methods involve interrupting the power lines and pose safety risks. On the contrary, non‐contact power meters allow for safe power measurement without touching the wires but designing them presents challenges related to battery life and sustainability. This paper introduces a novel battery‐less RF‐powered wireless circuit that overcomes these limitations and optimizes the performance of the sensing of the voltage. This circuit includes an efficient RF‐DC converter, a designed non‐contact flexible and curved AC voltage sensor, a signal conditioning circuit, a digital processing unit, and a passive UHF Radio‐Frequency Identification interface for wireless communication. It harnesses electromagnetic energy from the radio front end to power the entire system. The circuit has been properly conceptualized, developed, and analyzed through electrical modeling and SPICE simulations. Transient and steady‐state analyses have been carefully conducted on individual circuit blocks to analyze their electric characteristics. Finally, a proof‐of‐concept circuit has been realized and experimentally verified to validate the simulation outcomes. With a bandwidth of 3 kHz, an RF‐DC conversion sensitivity of −16 dBm, a current consumption of only 2.2 mA, and an efficient power management procedure, this energy‐autonomous, non‐contact metering circuit offers very high RF and sensing sensitivities and ultra‐low power consumption, making it ideal for monitoring AC electric systems, particularly in inaccessible environments where battery‐based solutions are impractical.
The long‐term effect of bariatric/metabolic surgery versus pharmacologic therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Authors: Yang Yumeng , Miao Chuhan , Wang Yingli , He Jianxun 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMetabolic/bariatric surgery as a treatment for obesity and related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), has been increasingly recognised in recent years. However, compared with conventional pharmacologic therapy, the long‐term effect (≥ 5 years) of metabolic surgery in T2DM patients is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the diabetes remission rate, incidence of diabetic microvascular complications, incidence of macrovascular complications, and mortality in T2DM patients who received metabolic surgery versus pharmacologic therapy more than 5 years after the surgery. Searching the database, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from the inception to recent (2024), for randomised clinical trials (RCTs) or cohort studies comparing T2DM patients treated with metabolic surgery versus pharmacologic therapy reporting on the outcomes of the diabetes remission rate, diabetic microvascular complications, macrovascular complications, or mortality over 5 years or more. A total of 15 articles with a total of 85,473 patients with T2DM were eligible for review and meta‐analysis in this study. There is a significant long‐term increase in diabetes remission for metabolic surgery compared with conventional medical therapy in the overall pooled estimation and RCT studies or cohort studies separately (overall: OR = 4.58, 95% CI: 1.89–11.07, P < 0.001). Significant long‐term decreases were found in the pooled results of microvascular complications incidence (HR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.41–0.78, P < 0.001), macrovascular complications incidence (HR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.50–0.70, P < 0.001) and mortality (HR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.53–0.79, P = 0.0018). Metabolic surgery showed more significant long‐term effects than pharmacologic therapy on diabetes remission, macrovascular complications, microvascular complications incidence, and all‐cause mortality in patients with T2DM using currently available evidence. More high‐quality evidence is needed to validate the long‐term effects of metabolic surgery versus conventional treatment in diabetes management.

AbstractWe investigated the plant‐pollinator interactions of the Mexican grass‐carrying wasp Isodontia mexicana—native to North America and introduced in Europe in the 1960s—through the use of secondary data from citizen science observations. We applied a novel data exchange workflow from two global citizen science platforms, iNaturalist and Pl@ntNet. Images from iNaturalist of the wasp were used to query the Pl@ntNet application to identify possible plant species present in the pictures. Simultaneously, botanists manually identified the plants at family, genus and species levels and additionally documented flower color and biotic interactions. The goals were to calibrate Pl@ntNet's accuracy in relation to this workflow, update the list of plant species that I. mexicana visits as well as its flower color preferences in its native and introduced ranges. In addition, we investigated the types and corresponding frequencies of other biotic interactions incidentally captured on the citizen scientists' images. Although the list of known host plants could be expanded, identifying the flora from images that predominantly show an insect proved difficult for both experts and the Pl@ntNet app. The workflow performs with a 75% probability of correct identification of the plant at the species level from a score of 0.8, and with over 90% chance of correct family and genus identification from a score of 0.5. Although the number of images above these scores may be limited due to the flower parts present on the pictures, our approach can help to get an overview into species interactions and generate more specific research questions. It could be used as a triaging method to select images for further investigation. Additionally, the manual analysis of the images has shown that the information they contain offers great potential for learning more about the ecology of an introduced species in its new range.
