AbstractBackgroundPatients with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) need regular drainage tube care after discharge, and transitional care can help solve this problem. However, few studies have focused on the quality of transitional care, the perceptions of patients with drainage tubes after discharge and those of healthcare professionals.AimThis study is aimed at exploring the real experience and perceptions of transitional care services among healthcare professionals and PTBD patients who have been discharged with tubes and at providing references for future transitional care service development.DesignThe study uses a qualitative descriptive design. The reporting method followed Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines.MethodsSemistructured interviews were conducted with PTBD patients who had been discharged with tubes and multicentre healthcare professionals using the purpose sampling method. The thematic analysis method was used for analysis.ResultsThirteen PTBD patients from one hospital and 12 healthcare professionals from three hospitals were interviewed. The analysis of the patient interview data revealed three themes, namely, recognition of the value of transitional care services, patients have some unmet needs and perception of transitional care service pathways. Six subthemes were also identified. The analysis of the interview data of healthcare professionals revealed two themes, namely, harvest and challenges in transitional care services work and expectations for future development of transitional care services. Four subthemes were also identified.ConclusionsThe transitional care of discharged patients with PTBD tubes deserves the attention of clinical workers, and a series of measures should be taken to improve transitional care services.Patient/Public ContributionPatients were involved in the formulation of interview questions for this study, and during the interviews, patients presented their suggestions for transitional care services. Healthcare professionals participated in this study as interviewees, and no members of the public were involved in this study.

AbstractResolvin D2 (RvD2), an endogenous lipid mediator derived from docosahexaenoic acid, has been demonstrated to have analgesic effects. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying RvD2 in pain relief. Herein, we demonstrate that RvD2 targeted the P2X3 receptor as an analgesic. The electrophysiological activity of P2X3 receptors was suppressed by RvD2 in rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. RvD2 pre‐application dose‐dependently decreased α,β‐methylene‐ATP (α,β‐meATP)‐induced inward currents. RvD2 remarkably decreased the maximum response to α,β‐meATP, without influencing the affinity of P2X3 receptors. RvD2 also voltage‐independently suppressed ATP currents. An antagonist of the G protein receptor 18 (GPR18), O‐1918, prevented the RvD2‐induced suppression of ATP currents. Additionally, intracellular dialysis of the Gαi/o‐protein antagonist pertussis toxin (PTX), the PKA antagonist H89, or the cAMP analog 8‐Br‐cAMP also blocked the RvD2‐induced suppression. Furthermore, α,β‐meATP‐triggered depolarization of membrane potential along with the action potential bursts in DRG neurons were inhibited by RvD2. Lastly, RvD2 attenuated spontaneous nociceptive behaviors as well as mechanical allodynia produced by α,β‐meATP in rats via the activation of the peripheral GPR18. These findings indicated that RvD2 inhibited P2X3 receptors in rat primary sensory neurons through GPR18, PTX‐sensitive Gαi/o‐proteins, and intracellular cAMP/PKA signaling, revealing a novel mechanism that underlies its analgesic effects by targeting P2X3 receptors.image

Published: November 2023

AbstractDoenjang is a traditional soybean fermented food ingredient in Korea. According to the Korean Food Code, different categories were defined: doenjang and Korean‐style (Hansik) doenjang. Two different categories were classified according to its main ingredient called “Meju.” The purpose of this study was to compare the flavor characteristics including sensory characteristics and volatile aroma profiles of doenjang and Korean‐style doenjang according to the categories listed in the Korean Food Code. A total of six samples, including four doenjang and two Korean‐style doenjang samples, were included in this study. Sensory characteristics were analyzed by a highly trained panel (n = 7) using Spectrum™ method. Volatile flavor analysis was conducted using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry in conjunction with the Solvent Assisted Flavor Extraction method. Differences in sensory characteristics were documented between doenjang and Korean‐style doenjang categories, and one sample under doenjang category had distinctive aroma characteristics. Samples under doenjang were characterized with high intensities of fruit‐related aroma, possibly due to the presence of ester compounds, ethyl acetate, and phenyl ethyl alcohol. Korean‐style doenjang had characteristics related to the so‐called “traditional doenjang” in previous studies, such as meju and fish sauce aromatics, and these aromas may have been caused by the presence of 1,2‐dimethyl benzene and 3‐hydroxy‐2‐butanone.Practical ApplicationsAccording to the Korean Food Code, doenjang is divided into two categories based on the use of major ingredients called meju: doenjang and Korean‐style doenjang. To this date, studies related to flavor analysis of doenjang majorly focused on the final product, doenjang, while this study was conducted on the flavor analysis of doenjang categorized by the Korean Food Code. Finding from this study can aid small and mid‐sized doenjang manufacturers to strategically manage their flavor characteristics according to Korean food law and regulations.
Surveillance deputies: When ordinary people surveil for the state
Authors: Brayne Sarah , Lageson Sarah , Levy Karen 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe state has long relied on ordinary civilians to do surveillance work, but recent advances in networked technologies are expanding mechanisms for surveillance and social control. In this article, we analyze the phenomenon in which private individuals conduct surveillance on behalf of the state, often using private sector technologies to do so. We develop the concept ofsurveillance deputiesto describe when ordinary people, rather than state actors, use their labor and economic resources to engage in such activity. Although surveillance deputies themselves are not new, their participation in everyday surveillance deputy work has rapidly increased under unique economic and technological conditions of our digital age. Drawing upon contemporary empirical examples, we hypothesize four conditions that contribute to surveillance deputization and strengthen its effects: (1) when interests between the state and civilians converge; (2) when law institutionalizes surveillance deputization or fails to clarify its boundaries; (3) when technological offerings expand personal surveillance capabilities; and (4) when unequal groups use surveillance to gain power or leverage resistance. In developing these hypotheses, we bridge research in law and society, sociology, surveillance studies, and science and technology studies and suggest avenues for future empirical investigation.
Multimodal therapies and strategies for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome in Taiwan
Authors: Yu Wan‐Ru , Kuo Hann‐Chorng 
Published: November 2023

AbstractInterstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a chronic disease characterized by bladder pain, frequency, and nocturia. The most common pathologies include chronic inflammation and bladder urothelium dysfunction. According to the bladder condition with or without Hunner's lesions, IC/BPS can be divided into “IC” in patients with Hunner's lesion (HIC) and “BPS” in those without Hunner's lesion (NHIC). Previous studies have reported greater central sensitization and interorgan cross‐talk in patients with NHIC. Multimodal treatments have been recommended in clinical guidelines under the biopsychosocial model. The bladder–gut–brain axis has also been speculated, and multimodal therapies are necessary. Unfortunately, currently, no treatment has been reported durable for IC/BPS. Patients with IC/BPS usually experience anxiety, depression, holistic physical responses, and even threats to social support systems. The lack of durable treatment outcomes might result from inadequate diagnostic accuracy and differentiation of clinical phenotypes based on the underlying pathophysiology. Precision assessment and treatment are essential for optimal therapy under definite IC/BPS phenotype. This article reviewed currently available literature and proposed a diagnosis and treatment algorithm. Based on bladder therapy combined with suitable physical and psychological therapies, a well‐grounded multimodal therapy and treatment algorithm for IC/BPS following a diagnostic protocol are indispensable.

SummaryThe purpose of this systematic literature review was to systematically compile the state of knowledge on correlates of physical activity enjoyment in children and adolescents to influence the perspective of future physical activity promotion approaches especially for children and adolescents affected by overweight or obesity. The electronic database search was executed in the five databases PubMed, PsychINFO, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science, and BISp‐SURF, from inception to December 6, 2021. A semi‐quantitative method was used for summarizing the resulted correlates. For final analysis, 85 studies comprising 48,144 children and adolescents were included. Fifty‐seven variables could be coded for their relationship with physical activity enjoyment. Of these, 12 psychological variables, for example, the basic psychological needs, task orientation, or self‐efficacy; six interpersonal variables, for example, peer/group acceptance, parental support, and autonomy support; and one behavioral variable, the higher self‐reported physical activity, are consistent positively associated to physical activity enjoyment. A scientifically based overview could be extracted for the promotion of physical activity enjoyment in children and adolescents. There is a gap in literature focusing the perception of physical activity enjoyment in the subgroup of children and adolescents affected by overweight or obesity. Therefore, recommendations were made to enable the development of further innovative research approaches in this population.

AbstractBackgroundLeft bundle branch pacing (LBBP) may be achieved in various anatomical sites within the interventricular septum (IVS), thus influencing paced QRS duration (QRSd).The purpose of this study was to determine whether paced QRS axis (QRSâ) and predominant polarity in inferior leads could be associated with a shorter paced QRSd.MethodsWe analyzed paced QRSd, QRSâ, polarity in inferior leads, and IVS thickness in patients referred for LBBP. Three paced morphology patterns in the inferior leads were considered: All positive (P), all negative (N) and intermediate (combination of isoelectric, positive, and negative complexes, (I). Patients were divided into two groups according to a paced QRSd < 120 or ≥ 120 ms.ResultsA total of 125 patients were included (age 76 ± 10 years, 46% female). Mean baseline QRSâ was 8 ± 37°. Paced QRSd was significantly shorter as compared to baseline (120 ± 10 vs. 127 ± 33 ms; p = .017) and significantly different according to paced QRS morphology pattern in the inferior leads (P 49%, 119 ± 9; N 30%, 126 ± 12; I 21%; 113 ± 10 ms; p < .001) or paced QRSâ (Normal 59%, 116 ± 1; Right 6%, 129 ± 1; Left 35%, 124 ± 11 ms; p < .001). On multivariate analysis, a QRSâ > −30°(OR 5.79 [2.40–13.93; 95% CI] p = .001), an Intermediate pattern in inferior leads (OR 3.00 [1.67–8.43; 95% CI] p = .037), and an IVS thickness ≤ 10 mm (OR 2.59 [1.10–6.10; 95% CI]; p = .029) were significantly associated with a paced QRSd < 120 ms.ConclusionsDuring LBBP, a QRSâ > −30° and intermediate final polarity in inferior leads are associated with a shorter paced QRSd.

AbstractBackgroundThe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) risk‐ sudden cardiac death (SCD) model provides a convenient tool for determining the risk of SCD in patients with HCM even though some patients with low‐risk scores still remain at risk of SCD. Hence, the aim of our study was to assess the performance of HCM Risk‐SCD in a large series of consecutive patients with HCM who had been followed up in a tertiary center.MethodsThe study population consisted of 389 consecutive HCM patients who had been followed up between 2004 and 2021. Demographic and clinical characteristics, estimated 5‐year risk using the HCM Risk‐SCD model, were compiled, and survival data were collected during follow‐up. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their long‐term survival, and HCM risk‐SCD scores of these two groups were compared.ResultsThe long‐term mortality was observed in 47 patients out of 389 patients in the during a mean follow‐up of 55.5 ± 12.7 months. The mean HCM Risk‐SCD score of surviving patients was significantly lower than that of non‐survivors (1.8% vs. 3.0%, p < .001). The HCM Risk‐SCD score was above 6% in nine (2.6%) survivors and nine (19.1%) non‐survivors (p < .001). The ROC curve based on the HCM Risk‐SCD score had 61% sensitivity and 61% specificity for risk threshold of for 2.0%, 38% sensitivity and 99% specificity a threshold of ≥4%, 17% sensitivity, and 99% specificity for a threshold of ≥6%.ConclusionA new risk algorithm with higher sensitivity is needed, although the HCM risk‐SCD model is still quite useful in identifying patients at a high risk for SCD.

AbstractBackgroundThis meta‐analysis evaluated long‐term efficacy and safety of cryoballoon ablation (CB) of atrial fibrillation (AF).MethodsPubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched until July 31, 2023, for published works investigating efficacy and safety of CB of AF in which mean/median follow‐up time was not less than 36 months. Safety was assessed by adverse events. Efficacy was assessed by AF recurrence, defined as any atrial arrhythmias lasting more than 30 s.ResultsA total of 19 clinical studies were included. After an average of 58.1 months of follow‐up, the overall AF recurrence rate was about 37%. The predictors of recurrence were duration of AF (HR 1.00; 95% CI [1.00 ∼ 1.01]), early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (HR 3.96; 95%CI [1.12 ∼ 14.02]), left atrial diameter (HR 1.04; 95%CI [1.02 ∼ 1.06]), and persistent AF (HR1.47; 95% CI [1.19 ∼ 1.82]). In terms of safety, the incidence of transient phrenic paralysis (PNP) was the highest, about 3%; followed by vascular complications (about 2%); pseudoaneurysm, permanent PNP, and all‐cause death was (about 1%); and pericardial effusion and stroke / TIA was very low.ConclusionCB is associated with low rates of severe complications and reasonable success rates.
Authorized economic operator certification and export stability: Evidence from China's firms
Authors: Zheng Hang , Han Jian , Liu Yiqun 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis study examines the impact of the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification on export stability. Using a new and unique dataset on AEO certification, combined with the Chinese Customs Enterprise Database and Chinese Industrial Enterprise Database from 2002 to 2013, we find that AEO certification has a positive impact on export stability by employing a staggered difference‐in‐differences empirical strategy. It reduces the likelihood of export failure, enabling certified firms to achieve higher efficiency and maintain competitive advantages in trade risks. The negative effect of AEO certification on export failure is prominent in firms exporting products with higher prices, more physical inspection, and higher requirements of customs clearance time. Along with AEO adoption, certified firms perform better in export stability than non‐certified ones.
Exploring the noticing of science teachers: What teachers' notice and using video to capture teacher knowledge

Published: November 2023

AbstractKnowing how science teachers develop their professional knowledge has been a challenge. One potential way to determine the professional knowledge of teachers is through videos. In the study described here, the authors recruited 60 elementary and secondary science teachers, showed them one of two 10‐min videos, and recorded and analyzed their comments when watching the videos. The coding focused on their noticing of student learning, teacher's teaching, types of teaching practices, and the use of interpretative frames. The noticing data were collected and analyzed to determine the differences between groups of teachers. The findings from the analysis indicated that most science teachers noticed the instruction of teachers rather than the learning of students, and these noticing events were often focused on general instructional practices as opposed to the science practices emphasized in the Next Generation Science Standards (National Research Council, 2013). The only difference between the teachers was in the area of evaluating the videos. Secondary science teachers and experienced elementary teachers were more likely to evaluate the videos than were novice elementary teachers. This may be a result of the knowledge base of the teachers. These results suggest a need for explicit reform‐based instruction and a revision of this research process.

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn some compound muscle action potentials (M waves) recorded using the belly–tendon configuration, the tendon electrode makes a noticeable contribution to the M wave. However, this finding has only been demonstrated in some hand and foot muscles. Here, we assessed the contribution of the tendon potential to the amplitude of the vastus lateralis, biceps brachii and tibialis anterior M waves, and we also examined the role of this tendon potential in the shoulder‐like feature appearing in most M waves. M waves were recorded separately at the belly and tendon locations of the vastus lateralis, biceps brachii and tibialis anterior from 38 participants by placing the reference electrode at a distant (contralateral) site. The amplitude of the M waves and the latency of their peaks and shoulders were measured. In the vastus lateralis, the tendon potential was markedly smaller in amplitude (∼75%) compared to the belly M wave (P = 0.001), whereas for the biceps brachii and tibialis anterior, the tendon and belly potentials had comparable amplitudes. In the vastus lateralis, the tendon potential showed a small positive peak coinciding in latency with the shoulder of the belly–tendon M wave, whilst in the biceps brachii and tibialis anterior, the tendon potential showed a clear negative peak which coincided in latency with the shoulder. The tendon potential makes a significant contribution to the belly–tendon M waves of the biceps brachii and tibialis anterior muscles, but little contribution to the vastus lateralis M waves. The shoulder observed in the belly–tendon M wave of the vastus lateralis is caused by the belly potential, the shoulder in the biceps brachii M wave is generated by the tendon potential, whereas the shoulder in the tibialis anterior M wave is caused by both the tendon and belly potentials.

BackgroundThis study aimed to examine the interaction of Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on change in obesity measures.MethodsA total of 4480 participants from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study were selected. DII was calculated using a Food Frequency Questionnaire. The FTO SNPs rs8050136, rs14211085 and rs1121980 were selected. Changes in obesity measures were calculated.ResultsIn individuals with risk allele of FTO SNP rs8050136, greater adherence to DII was associated with increased odds of higher waist circumference (WC) (OR, Q1–Q4: 1, 0.87, 0.88, 0.94; P trend=0.01), but deceased odds of waist to hip ratio (WHR) (OR, Q1–Q4: 1, 0.85, 0.76, 0.70; P trend=0.01). Moreover, higher score of DII was significantly related to elevated odds of having high Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) in individuals with wild-type genotype of FTO SNPs. For changes in WC, a significant interaction was identified between FTO rs1421085 and DII; the second quartile of DII was associated with increased odds of having a high WC in carriers of wild variant (TT genotype) of rs1421085 (OR 1.43; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.97), but not in individuals with risk allele of this SNP (TC CC). Although there are significant relationships between SNPs or genetic risk score and change in WHR or VAI, but there is no significant interaction between FTO SNPs and DII regarding change in body mass index, WHR and VAI.ConclusionsThere may be an interactive effect between DII and the FTO rs1421085 genotypes on change in WC.
