Authors: Wu Yi , Long Tianxue , Huang Jing , Zhang Yiyun , Zhang Qi , Zhang Jiaxin , Li Mingzi 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This study aims to synthesize the existing serious games designed to promote mental health in adolescents with chronic illnesses.

Design/methodology/approach
This study conducted a review following the guidelines of Joanna Briggs Institute and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Searches were conducted in databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, cumulative index to nursing and allied health literature, PsycINFO, China national knowledge infrastructure Wanfang, VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals and SinoMed from inception to February 12, 2023.

Findings
A total of 14 studies (describing 14 serious games) for improving the mental health of adolescents with chronic diseases were included. Of all the included games, 12 were not described as adopting any theoretical framework or model. The main diseases applicable to serious games are cancer, type 1 diabetes and autism spectrum disorder. For interventional studies, more than half of the study types were feasibility or pilot trials. Furthermore, the dosage of serious games also differs in each experiment. For the game elements, most game elements were in the category “reward and punishment features” (n = 50) and last was “social features” (n = 4).

Originality/value
Adolescence is a critical period in a person’s physical and mental development throughout life. Diagnosed with chronic diseases during this period will cause great trauma to the adolescents and their families. Serious game interventions have been developed and applied to promote the psychological health field of healthy adolescents. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to scope review the serious game of promoting mental health in the population of adolescents with chronically ill. At the same time, the current study also extracted and qualitatively analyzed the elements of the serious game.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and wellbeing: an inductive thematic analysis exploring how BJJ can increase subjective wellbeing
Authors: Morris Ben , Bone Andrew 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This study aims to assess the sociopsychological impact that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s (BJJ) can have on the subjective wellbeing of practitioners.

Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews (N = 8) and were analysed using thematic analysis by taking an inductive approach.

Findings
Improvements in the wellbeing of practitioners can be made via focusing on specific known constructs which have previously shown to increase subjective wellbeing. They included the development of mental toughness, progression towards meaningful goals and/or healthy habits and behaviours and the forming and maintaining of positive social relationships.

Research limitations/implications
The present work demonstrates the psychological benefits of BJJ practice on several psychological wellbeing targets, albeit in a modest sample size.

Practical implications
The heightened emphasis on mental wellbeing in the general population has added increasing pressure on mental health services (Steptoe et al., 2015; Diener et al., 2018; Johnson et al., 2018; Wicking & Dean 2020). Therefore, it is of theoretical and practical advantage to explore novel ways to help individuals with both their mental health and wellbeing.

Originality/value
The present study seeks to add to an emerging field of research which proposes that intentional activities such as BJJ can be integrated alongside traditional approaches to therapy in their promise to help those recovering from mental health issues.

Abstract

The study of tree species coexistence is crucial to understand the assembly of forest communities. In this context, trees adjust their traits in response to the interactions with other trees and, specifically, as a result of the competition for resources. Further, mycorrhizal fungal diversity and associations are important drivers of ecosystem functioning in forests, but their role as drivers of intraspecific trait variation has been disregarded. Here, we studied intraspecific trait variation of trees in response to tree and mycorrhizal fungal diversity.

We sampled 3200 leaves from 640 trees belonging to 10 native, deciduous species in a tree diversity experiment in Central Germany. This experiment relies on the combination of gradients of tree richness and mycorrhizal associations. To handle large amounts of leaf samples, we acquired leaf‐level spectral data and used deep learning to predict values for five leaf traits from the leaf economics spectrum (LES): specific leaf area, leaf dry matter content, carbon to nitrogen ratio, carbon content and phosphorus content. For every tree, we calculated the mean value for every trait and two multi‐trait functional indices (functional richness and functional dispersion) based on values for individual leaves. Finally, we used sequencing‐based data to assess the richness of mycorrhizal fungi associated with the trees.

We found that tree and mycorrhizal fungi richness had an effect on different leaf functional traits. Specifically, tree richness positively affected specific leaf area and, additionally, had a negative effect on the functional indicies, which revealed that the phenotypic diversity within the tree crown decreased with tree species richness. In addition, leaf carbon to nitrogen ratio decreased with increasing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal richness in both arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal tree species. Finally, we did not find differences between arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal trees regarding their location within the LES.

Our results suggest that trees modify their strategy in response to local tree diversity, not only by shifting trait values but also by shifting the variability intraindividually. In addition, higher mycorrhizal fungal diversity does not seem to lead to higher complementarity, but instead, tree and mycorrhizal fungi affect different aspects of leaf traits.

Published: March 2024

AbstractRaspberry production is under threat from the emerging fungal pathogenic genus Cladosporium. We used amplicon‐sequencing, coupled with qPCR, to investigate how fruit age, fruit location within a polytunnel, polytunnel location and sampling date affected the fruit epiphytic microbiome. Fruit age was the most important factor impacting the fungal microbiome, followed by sampling date and polytunnel location. In contrast, polytunnel location and fruit age were important factors impacting the bacterial microbiome composition, followed by the sampling date. The within‐tunnel location had a small significant effect on the fungal microbiome and no effect on the bacterial microbiome. As fruit ripened, fungal diversity increased and the bacterial diversity decreased. Cladosporium was the most abundant fungus of the fruit epiphytic microbiome, accounting for nearly 44% of all fungal sequences. Rotorod air samplers were used to study how the concentration of airborne Cladosporium inoculum (quantified by qPCR) varied between location (inside and outside the polytunnel) and time (daytime vs. nighttime). Quantified Cladosporium DNA was significantly higher during the day than the night and inside the polytunnel than the outside. This study demonstrated the dynamic nature of epiphytic raspberry fruit microbiomes and airborne Cladosporium inoculum within polytunnels, which will impact disease risks on raspberry fruit.
Relationship between Natural Fracture and Structural Style and its Implication for Tight Gas Enrichment: A Case Study of Deep Ahe Formation in the Dibei–Tuzi Area, Kuqa Depression

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe deep Lower Jurassic Ahe Formation (J1a) in the Dibei–Tuzi area of the Kuqa Depression has not been extensively explored because of the complex distribution of fractures. A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the natural fracture distribution and structural style. The J1a fractures in this area were mainly high‐angle shear fractures. A backward thrust structure (BTS) is favorable for gas migration and accumulation, probably because natural fractures are more developed in the middle and upper parts of a thick competent layer. The opposing thrust structure (OTS) was strongly compressed, and the natural fractures in the middle and lower parts of the thick competent layer around the fault were more intense. The vertical fracture distribution in the thick competent layers of an imbricate‐thrust structure (ITS) differs from that of BTS and OTS. The intensity of the fractures in the ITS anticline is similar to that in the BTS. Fracture density in monoclinic strata in a ITS is controlled by faulting. Overall, the structural style controls the configuration of faults and anticlines, and the stress on the competent layers, which significantly affects deep gas reservoir fractures. The enrichment of deep tight sandstone gas is likely controlled by two closely spaced faults and a fault‐related anticline.

AbstractAimsThe study aimed to estimate the impact of introducing a draught alcohol‐free beer, thereby increasing the relative availability of these products, on alcohol sales and monetary takings in bars and pubs in England.DesignRandomised crossover field trial.SettingEngland.ParticipantsFourteen venues that did not previously sell draught alcohol‐free beer.Intervention and comparatorVenues completed two intervention periods and two control periods in a randomised order over 8 weeks. Intervention periods involved replacing one draught alcoholic beer with an alcohol‐free beer. Control periods operated business as usual.MeasurementsThe primary outcome was mean weekly volume (in litres) of draught alcoholic beer sold. The secondary outcome was mean weekly revenue [in GBP (£)] from all drinks. Analyses adjusted for randomised order, special events, season and busyness.FindingsThe adjusted mean difference in weekly sales of draught alcoholic beer was −20 L [95% confidence interval (CI) = −41 to +0.4], equivalent to a 4% reduction (95% CI = 8% reduction to 0.1% increase) in the volume of alcoholic draught beer sold when draught alcohol‐free beer was available. Excluding venues that failed at least one fidelity check resulted in an adjusted mean difference of −29 L per week (95% CI = −53 to −5), equivalent to a 5% reduction (95% CI = 8% reduction to 0.8% reduction). The adjusted mean difference in weekly revenue was +61 GBP per week (95% CI = −328 to +450), equivalent to a 1% increase (95% CI = 5% decrease to 7% increase) when draught alcohol‐free beer was available.ConclusionsIntroducing a draught alcohol‐free beer in bars and pubs in England reduced the volume of draught alcoholic beer sold by 4% to 5%, with no evidence of the intervention impacting net revenue.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe aim of this report is to demonstrate the guided tooth autotransplantation of a palatally impacted maxillary canine into the site of a failed maxillary canine dental implant. A 47‐year‐old woman visited a dental clinic complaining of loose dental implant in the left maxillary canine site, tooth #11, as well as pain and swelling of the gum around the implant. The clinical examination revealed a mobile implant along with swollen soft tissues with bleeding on probing. A periapical radiograph demonstrated peri‐implant marginal bone loss. Cone beam computed tomography sections revealed that tooth #11 was impacted palatally. The implant was removed and replaced with the impacted canine via guided autotransplantation and posterior orthodontic alignment. The patient was recalled at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 months after the procedure. During this period, the patient was symptom‐free and radiographic examination at 2 years revealed no periapical pathosis or root resorption.

Published: March 2024

AbstractApical periodontitis is an inflammatory condition resulting from microbial invasion in the root canal system, causing periapical tissue destruction and bone resorption. This study investigated melatonin's effects, known for its antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties, on experimentally induced apical periodontitis in rats. Three groups of rats were studied: control, apical periodontitis and apical periodontitis with melatonin treatment. Proinflammatory cytokines and enzyme levels in blood serum were measured, and micro‐CT analysis assessed bone resorption. Results showed significantly elevated cytokines and enzyme levels in the apical periodontitis group compared to the control. However, in the melatonin‐treated group, these levels were significantly reduced (p < 0.01–0.001). Micro‐CT analysis indicated decreased periapical resorption cavity volume and surface area with melatonin treatment. This suggests that systemic melatonin administration can mitigate inflammation and reduce bone resorption in experimentally induced apical periodontitis in rats, potentially holding promise for human endodontic disease treatment pending further research.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAimThis study aimed to evaluate the risk classification system using the detailed positive surgical margin (PSM) status to predict biochemical recurrence (BCR) after robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 427 patients who underwent RARP between January 2016 and March 2020. We investigated risk factors for BCR using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models. The biochemical recurrence‐free survival (BRFS) rate was assessed using the Kaplan‐Meier method.ResultsThe median follow‐up period was 43.4 months and 99 patients developed BCR. In the multivariate analysis, maximum PSM length > 5.0 mm and the International Society of Urological Pathology grade group (ISUP GG) at the PSM ≥3 were predictive factors for BCR in patients with a PSM. In the multivariate analysis, these factors were also independent predictive factors in the overall study population, including patients without a PSM. We classified the patients into four groups using these factors and found that the 1‐year BRFS rates in the negative surgical margin (NSM) group, low‐risk group (PSM and neither factor), intermediate‐risk group (either factor), and high‐risk group (both factors) were 94.9%, 94.5%, 83.1%, and 52.9%, respectively. The low‐risk group showed similar BRFS to the NSM group (p = 0.985), while the high‐risk group had significantly worse BRFS than the other groups (p < 0.001).ConclusionMaximum PSM length > 5.0 mm and ISUP GG at the PSM ≥3 were independent predictive factors for BCR after RARP. Risk classification for BCR using these factors is considered to be useful and might help urologists decide on additional treatment after RARP.

AbstractObjectiveThe relationship between chronic pain and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is poorly understood, and the situation in rural Australia is particularly unclear. The objective here was to determine the socio‐demographic factors associated with the use of CAM for the treatment of chronic pain in a region of rural Australia.MethodsThis secondary analysis used data from a population health survey, Crossroads‐II, to assess the relationships of various socio‐demographic factors with the use of CAM by those suffering from chronic pain.DesignFace‐to‐face surveys at households randomly selected from residential address lists.SettingA large regional centre and three nearby rural towns in northern Victoria, Australia.ParticipantsSixteen years of age and older.Main Outcome MeasuresUse of a CAM service to treat chronic pain.ResultsBeing female (2.40 [1.47, 3.93], p < 0.001) and having a bachelorʼs degree (OR 2.24 [1.20, 4.20], p < 0.001) had a significant positive relationship with the use of CAM overall to redress chronic pain and those 50 years and older had greater odds of using manipulation therapies relative to those below 50 years (50–64: OR 0.52 [0.32, 0.86], p = 0.010; 65+: 0.37 [0.18, 0.75], p = 0.005).ConclusionIn the studied region, females and those with university education have the greatest odds of using CAM to treat chronic pain. This study needs to be complemented with more mechanistic investigations into the reasons people make the decisions they make about using CAM for the management of chronic pain.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundTelomeres are unique structures situated at the ends of chromosomes. Preserving the structure and function of telomeres is essential for maintaining genomic stability and promoting genetic diversity during male meiosis in mammals.Material‐MethodsThis review compiled recent literature on the function and regulation of telomeres during male meiosis in both mice and humans, and also highlighted the critical roles of telomeres in reproductive biology and medicine.Results‐DiscussionVarious structures, consisting of the LINC complex (SUN‐KASH), SPDYA‐CDK2, TTM trimer (TERB1‐TERB2‐MAJIN), and shelterin, are critical in controlling telomeric activities, such as nuclear envelope attachment and bouquet formation. Other than telomere‐related proteins, cohesins and genes responsible for regulating telomere function are also highlighted, though the exact mechanism remains unclear. The gene‐mutant mouse models with meiotic defects directly reveal the essential roles of telomeres in male meiosis. Recently reported mutant genes associated with telomere activity in clinical practice have also been illustrated in detail.ConclusionsProper regulation of telomere activities is essential for male meiosis progression in mice and humans.
