Circ_0004771 regulates malignant biological behaviors and has clinical significance in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Shi Rongji , Zhang Lei 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is increasing, and more effective treatment protocols must rapidly be developed to prevent the death of patients and ensure favorable outcomes. CircRNAs are a unique class of noncoding ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules unaffected by RNA exonucleases. CircRNAs have more stable expression than linear RNAs and are not readily degraded; therefore, they are the newest focus of RNA research. Here, we analyze the mechanism of hsa_circ_0004771 (circ_0004771) in OSCC to provide a clinical reference.MethodsCirc_0004771 expression was measured in peripheral blood, cancerous tissues and adjacent tissues of OSCC patients. Patients were followed up for 3 years. The diagnostic value of circ_0004771 for OSCC occurrence, prognosis, recurrence and survival was analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. OSCC cells were lentivirally transduced with a circ_0004771‐silencing or an empty vector to evaluate alterations in cell growth, invasion, and apoptosis. Apoptosis‐related and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)‐related protein expression was quantified. BALB/c nude mice were used for tumorigenesis experiments to evaluate tumor growth in vivo after silencing circ_0004771.ResultsCirc_0004771 expression was higher in peripheral blood and cancerous tissue of OSCC patients than in control peripheral blood and paracancerous tissue, respectively, exhibiting excellent predictive value for OSCC occurrence, prognosis, recurrence and survival. Silencing circ_0004771 decreased the growth, invasiveness, and EMT capacity and increased the apoptosis of OCC cells. In mice implanted with OSCC cells transduced with the circ_0004771‐silencing lentiviral vector, the tumor growth capacity was obviously decreased.ConclusionSilencing circ_0004771 inhibits the malignant growth of OSCC.
Damage versus risk perception: Why do house prices recover after hurricanes?
Authors: Le Hoanh 
Published: June 2024

AbstractI study house price dynamics following Hurricane Sandy to explain the common puzzling finding of a price drop followed by a complete price recovery. Applying a quasi‐experimental difference‐in‐differences research design on Zillow parcel‐level sales data combined with Federal Emergency Management Agency data on damaged structures, I show that the extent of direct damages drives the decline in house prices. The extent of remodeling expenditures, as estimated from building permits, is found to be responsible for causing the return of prices to pre‐storm levels. Comparing flood insurance take‐up rates in the affected and non‐affected areas within floodplains and similarly for outside floodplains, I find no revision in perceived risk in the floodplain. In contrast, there has been an increase in flood insurance take‐up rates in affected areas outside of floodplains after the hurricane.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDUndergraduate majors in education, specifically in school health education (HE), have declined considerably in the United States. Reductions in state and federal funding for K‐12 public education and increased demands on educators to prioritize standardized academic outcomes versus focusing on the whole child encompass many factors leading to fewer qualified teachers and reduced quality of HE delivery within schools.METHODSA content analysis of over 300 HE teacher preparation programs throughout the United States was conducted from 2019 to 2020 to assess available and required curriculum for pre‐service HE teachers. Seven curriculum areas were reviewed: nutrition, physical activity (PA) and physical education (PE), HE, chronic disease management (CDM), social emotional learning and mental health (SEL/MH), drug abuse and tobacco prevention (DA/TP), and a methods course in teaching HE.RESULTSFindings indicated program type influenced course offerings, with stand‐alone HE and joint HE/PE programs providing the most comprehensive curriculum. Most programs required courses in general HE, PA and PE, and nutrition. Programs were deficient in offering courses in CDM, DA/TP, and SEL/MH.CONCLUSIONThis article contains recommendations to improve the quality of HE delivery in public schools, for example by ensuring that school health educators are trained in providing skills‐based HE to youth, which can assist in addressing child and youth health outcomes (eg, CDM, mental health) for the nation.

ObjectivesTo describe the use, complications and outcome of Finney or Jaboulay pyloroplasties for the treatment of benign gastric outlet lesions in dogs and cats.Materials and MethodsThe medical records of dogs and cats surgically treated with Finney or Jaboulay pyloroplasty for benign gastric outflow tract disease in three institutions between January 1, 2015 and August 31, 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsEight dogs and five cats were diagnosed with benign obstructive or perforating gastric outlet lesions, including chronic hypertrophic pyloric gastropathy (n = 4), perforating pyloro‐duodenal peptic ulcer (4), sub‐obstructive pyloro‐duodenal eosinophilic sclerosing fibroplasia (2) and antral or proximal duodenal obstructive mass (3). Nine cases were treated using hand‐sewn Finney pyloroplasty and four cases were treated using stapled Jaboulay pyloroplasty. No major complications were recorded. Cases were followed for a median of 16.1 [11 to 29.6] months. At the last follow‐up, the outcome was excellent in all cases, with no clinical signs recorded and no medical treatment required.Clinical SignificanceThis case series suggests that Finney and Jaboulay pyloroplasties were safe and effective procedures for the surgical treatment of benign obstructive or perforating gastric outlet lesions in dogs and cats.

AbstractIodine, an essential trace element for the human body, plays a pivotal role in sustaining health. Malnutrition has emerged as a pressing public health concern, posing a significant threat to human well‐being. Iodine deficiency poses a substantial threat to the development of children, potentially leading to neurological developmental disorders and mental retardation. Conversely, excessive iodine intake can result in structural and functional abnormalities in the thyroid gland. In this study, we selected children aged 3–6 years through a stratified cluster sampling approach in six regions across China to explore the correlation between iodine nutrition and their physical growth. A total of 5920 preschool children participated in this study, with a median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) of 177.33 [107.06, 269.92] μg/L. Among these children, 250 (4.2%) exhibited stunting, 180 (3.0%) were underweight, 198 (3.3%) experienced wasting, 787 (3.3%) were overweight and 414 (7.0%) were classified as obese. The multivariate linear regression revealed that UIC exhibited a positive correlation with body mass index z‐Score (BMIZ) in overweight children (β = 0.038; 95% CI: 0.001, 0.075). In normally growing children, the associations between UIC and height‐for‐age z‐score, weight‐for‐age z‐score and BMIZ displayed nonlinear patterns. Our findings suggest that iodine nutrition is adequate for Chinese children aged 3–6 years. Furthermore, iodine nutrition is intricately linked to the growth and development of these children. Consequently, it is imperative to implement decisive measures to prevent both iodine deficiency and excess.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundTinea faciei, a specific dermatophytosis that affects the glabrous skin of the face, not only causes physical discomfort but also leads to greater psychological distress. Tinea faciei is a public health concern.ObjectivesTo analyse the epidemiological characteristics, responsible dermatophyte species and clinical features of tinea faciei in Hangzhou.MethodsData were obtained from the Laboratory Information System of the Mycology Laboratory and Medical Information System at a hospital in Hangzhou. Isolates were identified based on their macroscopic appearance and microscopic morphology.ResultsTinea faciei was diagnosed in 701 patients, involving 359 males and 342 females, aged between 2 months and 97 years. In total, 499 isolates (71.18%) were identified as Trichophyton rubrum. Anthropophilic isolates were identified in 297 (82.73%) males and 207 (60.53%) females (p < .01). Among patients with anthropophilic dermatophytes infection, 447 (88.69%) were adults. Zoophilic dermatophytes were isolated in 57 (15.88%) males and 130 (38.01%) females (p < .01), among whom 108 (57.75%) were children.ConclusionsAnthropophilic dermatophytes, especially T. rubrum, were the predominant cause of tinea faciei, while zoophilic dermatophytes were the most prevalent in children. Compared with men, women may be more susceptible to zoophilic dermatophytes.
Nationalism and the transformation of the state
Authors: Cederman Lars‐Erik 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWhile it is often assumed that the core debates about nationalism were settled by modernist scholars already in the 1980s, there are reasons to question this theoretical ‘consensus’, especially because it fails to anticipate the wave of nationalist geopolitics that is currently sweeping through the world. Contemporary studies of nationalism typically refrain from conceptualising politics in spatial terms, while overstating states' ability to shape ethno‐national identities irrespective of their ethnic roots and offering little empirical validation. To overcome these limitations, it is useful to analyse how nationalism transforms the state, rather than the reverse. This article reports findings from an EU‐funded research project that uses historical maps covering borders of states and ethnic groups to show how nationalism causes increasing congruence between these borders and how a lack thereof makes conflict and border change more likely. This risk is further increased by ‘restorative’ narratives bemoaning supposedly lost independence and unity. Further research traces the spread of reactive nationalism through modernisation processes driven by railroad expansion until the early 20th century. Yet this does not mean that state partition offers the only, or the best, solution to nationality problems. Power sharing can pacify at least as well as ethno‐nationalist border change.
A diet low in fermentable oligo‐, di‐, monosaccharides and polyols improves abdominal and overall symptoms in persons with all subtypes of irritable bowel syndrome

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundA diet low in fermentable oligo‐, di‐, monosaccharides and polyols (LFD) improves symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Previous studies have focused on patients with IBS and diarrhea (IBS‐D). It is unclear whether LFD is effective for IBS with constipation (IBS‐C) or IBS with mixed bowel habits (IBS‐M). This open‐label, real‐world study evaluates the relative effectiveness of the LFD among IBS subtypes.MethodsThis study analyzes data from a service that provides low‐FODMAP meals to individuals with IBS. Participants met with a registered dietitian and completed the IBS symptom severity survey (IBS‐SSS) before and after undergoing a 2–4‐week period of FODMAP restriction. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with ≥50‐point decrease in IBS‐SSS between the three IBS subtypes.Key ResultsAfter FODMAP restriction, 90% of participants with IBS‐D, 75% with IBS‐C, and 84% with IBS‐M met the primary endpoint (p = 0.045). Similar improvement was seen for a 100‐point decrease, but the difference between IBS subtypes was not significant (p = 0.46). After FODMAP restriction, all groups had statistically significant improvement in total IBS‐SSS as well as individual symptom categories. Improvement in IBS‐SSS subcategories was similar among the groups except for the categories of bloating severity (IBS‐M had greatest improvement) and bowel movement satisfaction (IBS‐C had less improvement).Conclusion & InferencesThough the proportion of responders was highest for IBS‐D and lowest for IBS‐C, the LFD led to robust improvement in overall symptoms in all IBS subtypes. Key individual symptoms also showed significant improvements in all IBS subtypes.

AbstractObjectivesInvestigating the impact of thermal and mechanical loading on the force generation of orthodontic aligners made from various thermoplastic materials and different compositions.Materials and MethodsFive distinct materials were utilized including, three multi‐layer (Zendura FLX, Zendura VIVA, CA Pro) and two single‐layer (Zendura A and Duran). A total of 50 thermoformed aligners (n = 10) underwent a 48‐hour ageing protocol, which involved mechanical loading resulting from a 0.2 mm facial malalignment of the upper right central incisor (Tooth 11) and thermal ageing through storage in warm distilled water at 37°C. The force exerted on Tooth 11 of a resin model was measured both before and after ageing using pressure‐sensitive films and a biomechanical setup.ResultsBefore ageing, pressure‐sensitive films recorded normal contact forces ranging from 83.1 to 149.7 N, while the biomechanical setup measured resultant forces ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 N, with lingual forces exceeding facial forces. Multi‐layer materials exhibited lower force magnitudes compared to single‐layer materials. After ageing, a significant reduction in force was observed, with some materials experiencing up to a 50% decrease. Notably, multi‐layer materials, especially Zendura VIVA, exhibited lower force decay.ConclusionsThe force generated by aligners is influenced by both the aligner material and the direction of movement. Multi‐layer materials exhibit superior performance compared to single‐layer materials, primarily because of their lower initial force, which enhances patient comfort, and their capability to maintain consistent force application even after undergoing ageing.

AbstractChanarin‐Dorfman syndrome (CDS) is a multisystem autosomal recessive disorder due to variants of the ABHD5 gene, characterized by lipid vacuoles in the liver and leukocytes, and possible involvement of eyes, ears, skeletal muscle, and central nervous system. CDS may present with skin changes, most commonly congenital non‐ bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma, however erythrokeratoderma‐like findings have been rarely reported in CDS patients. Herein, we report clinical, histopathological and genetic findings of four patients with CDS presenting with different clinical forms of erythrokeratoderma (three with progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma‐like features and one with erythrokeratoderma variabilis (EKV)‐like features), including one patient with a novel mutation in ABHD5. Although the typical skin finding of CDS syndrome is reported as non‐bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, CDS should also be in the differential diagnosis in patients with EKV‐like lesions.

AbstractA 14‐year‐old boy developed an erythema multiforme‐like reaction following Toxicodendron radicans (poison ivy) allergic contact dermatitis three separate times over the course of 3 years. The severity of each erythema multiforme‐like reaction corresponded to the severity of the allergic contact dermatitis which preceded it.
Past materials, past minds: The philosophy of cognitive paleoanthropology
Authors: Currie Adrian , Killin Anton , Lequin Mathilde , Meneganzin Andra , Pain Ross 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe philosophy of cognitive paleoanthropology involves three related tasks: (1) asking what inferences might be drawn from the paleontological and archaeological records to past cognition, behavior and culture; (2) constructing synthetic accounts of the evolution of distinctive hominin capacities; (3) exploring how results from cognitive paleoanthropology might inform philosophy. We introduce some distinctive cognitive paleoanthropological inferences and discuss their epistemic standing, before considering how attention to the material records and the practice of paleoanthropology can inform and transform philosophical approaches.

AbstractBackgroundPreterm birth (before 37 completed weeks of gestation) is associated with an increased risk of adverse health and developmental outcomes relative to birth at term. Existing guidelines for data collection in cohort studies of individuals born preterm are either limited in scope, have not been developed using formal consensus methodology, or did not involve a range of stakeholders in their development. Recommendations meeting these criteria would facilitate data pooling and harmonisation across studies.ObjectivesTo develop a Core Dataset for use in longitudinal cohort studies of individuals born preterm.MethodsThis work was carried out as part of the RECAP Preterm project. A systematic review of variables included in existing core outcome sets was combined with a scoping exercise conducted with experts on preterm birth. The results were used to generate a draft core dataset. A modified Delphi process was implemented using two stages with three rounds each. Three stakeholder groups participated: RECAP Preterm project partners; external experts in the field; people with lived experience of preterm birth. The Delphi used a 9‐point Likert scale. Higher values indicated greater importance for inclusion. Participants also suggested additional variables they considered important for inclusion which were voted on in later rounds.ResultsAn initial list of 140 data items was generated. Ninety‐six participants across 22 countries participated in the Delphi, of which 29% were individuals with lived experience of preterm birth. Consensus was reached on 160 data items covering Antenatal and Birth Information, Neonatal Care, Mortality, Administrative Information, Organisational Level Information, Socio‐economic and Demographic information, Physical Health, Education and Learning, Neurodevelopmental Outcomes, Social, Lifestyle and Leisure, Healthcare Utilisation and Quality of Life.ConclusionsThis core dataset includes 160 data items covering antenatal care through outcomes in adulthood. Its use will guide data collection in new studies and facilitate pooling and harmonisation of existing data internationally.
Police Cloud: Functional modularity in China's cloud public security infrastructure
Authors: Bernot Ausma 
Published: June 2024

AbstractGlobally, China's Ministry of Public Security has one of the largest appetites and regulatory scopes for new technology use in policing. Using the case study of Police Cloud—a cloud infrastructure project, this paper examines a national wave of cloud migration initiated in Shandong in 2013. Police Cloud began to tackle the deep‐rooted challenges of information sharing across all levels of government. The analysis draws upon a dual dataset of government documents (n = 10) and newspaper articles (n = 277), qualitatively triangulated with Chinese academic articles and grey literature. The findings show how the Ministry of Public Security's switch to platformization triggered an overall change in public security governance. Contrary to platform policing experiences in other parts of the world, the Ministry of Public Security adopted Police Cloud by aiming to retain autonomy and control over private providers. Police Cloud also began enabling functional modularity of surveillance elements of China's public security.
Examining the predictive utility of suicidal ideation characteristics in relation to real‐time monitoring of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts at follow‐up

AbstractIntroductionSeveral characteristics of suicidal ideation, including frequency, duration, perceived controllability, and intensity, have been identified. The present study examined whether these characteristics of baseline suicidal ideation uniquely predicted (1) the severity, variability, and frequency of suicidal ideation assessed through real‐time monitoring; and (2) suicide attempts at 3‐week and 6‐month follow‐up among recently discharged psychiatric inpatients.MethodsA sample of 249 adults (Mage = 40.43, 55.1% female, 91.4% White) completed a baseline assessment of their suicidal ideation characteristics during psychiatric hospitalization, five daily ecological momentary assessments (EMA) for 21 days following discharge, and follow‐up assessments of suicide‐related outcomes at 3‐week and 6‐month follow‐up.ResultsPerceived controllability of suicidal thoughts was uniquely associated with the variability of EMA‐assessed suicidal ideation and the presence of suicide attempts at 3‐week, but not 6‐month follow‐up. No other characteristic of baseline suicidal ideation was uniquely associated with EMA‐assessed suicidal ideation or the presence of suicide attempts at follow‐up.ConclusionsGiven links between the perceived controllability of suicidal ideation and (1) momentary variability of suicidal ideation and (2) suicide attempts over the subsequent 3 weeks, perceived controllability of suicidal thinking may be a useful marker of short‐term risk that may be malleable to clinical intervention.
