Authors: Wang Baohe , Jin Dianyi , Zhang Zhaobang , Ai Zihan , Zhu Jing 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The development of the zeolite molecular sieves (ZSM-5) molding technique is essential for the cyclohexene hydration reaction distillation process in both industrial and rcarch settings. The reactive distillation process can solve many of the drawbacks associated with the existing technique of manufacturing cyclohexanol via cyclohexene hydration, such as high catalyst digestibility, low conversion rate, and operational challenges. In this thesis, a series of molded ZSM-5 catalysts with various binder types and contents were constructed. The suggested pseudo-boehmite and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose were chosen as binders for extrusion molding of ZSM-5. The effects of binders on the strength reliability were investigated by strength tests and statistical analysis of the Weibull function. The effects of binders on the physical structure, acidity, and catalytic performance of ZSM-5 were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, physical adsorption of N2, and desorption of NH3. The findings demonstrate that the addition of binder has no effect on ZSM-5's crystal structure. The experiment's results showed that the molded catalyst could be used for the hydration process with over 95% selectivity and a yield of 10.45% cyclohexanol.

Abstract
Background
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of blindness and is characterized by dysfunction of the retinal microvasculature. Neutrophil stasis, resulting in retinal inflammation and the occlusion of retinal microvessels, is a key mechanism driving DR. These plugging neutrophils subsequently release neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs), which further disrupts the retinal vasculature. Nevertheless, the primary catalyst for NETs extrusion in the retinal microenvironment under diabetic conditions remains unidentified. In recent studies, cellular communication network factor 1 (CCN1) has emerged as a central molecule modulating inflammation in pathological settings. Additionally, our previous research has shed light on the pathogenic role of CCN1 in maintaining endothelial integrity. However, the precise role of CCN1 in microvascular occlusion and its potential interaction with neutrophils in diabetic retinopathy have not yet been investigated.
Methods
We first examined the circulating level of CCN1 and NETs in our study cohort and analyzed related clinical parameters. To further evaluate the effects of CCN1 in vivo, we used recombinant CCN1 protein and CCN1 overexpression for gain-of-function, and CCN1 knockdown for loss-of-function by intravitreal injection in diabetic mice. The underlying mechanisms were further validated on human and mouse primary neutrophils and dHL60 cells.
Results
We detected increases in CCN1 and neutrophil elastase in the plasma of DR patients and the retinas of diabetic mice. CCN1 gain-of-function in the retina resulted in neutrophil stasis, NETs extrusion, capillary degeneration, and retinal leakage. Pre-treatment with DNase I to reduce NETs effectively eliminated CCN1-induced retinal leakage. Notably, both CCN1 knockdown and DNase I treatment rescued the retinal leakage in the context of diabetes. In vitro, CCN1 promoted adherence, migration, and NETs extrusion of neutrophils.
Conclusion
In this study, we uncover that CCN1 contributed to retinal inflammation, vessel occlusion and leakage by recruiting neutrophils and triggering NETs extrusion under diabetic conditions. Notably, manipulating CCN1 was able to hold therapeutic promise for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Exploring the Association Between Type 2 Diabetes and Fecal Incontinence in American Adults: insights from a large cross-sectional study

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
The relationship between fecal incontinence (FI) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been well recognized, but a comprehensive understanding of this relationship is lacking, taking into account demographic factors and lifestyle variables.
Methods
Using a cross-sectional approach, 13,510 adults aged 20 years and older were identified from the 2005–2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (ORs), and further subgroup analyses and propensity score analysis were performed to ensure stable results.
Results
Among 13,510 adults, 11.2% had T2D, and 8.8% had FI. We found a strong T2D-FI link (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.09–1.54, P < 0.001), even after adjusting for covariates. Age > 45 was a critical factor, with a stronger T2D-FI association. Sedentary behavior (OR: 1.41; 95% CI: 1.15–1.73) in T2D patients were associated with FI.
Conclusions
Our study highlights the significant T2D-FI link in US adults, especially in older T2D patients. Lifestyle changes may reduce FI risk. More research is needed for causality and mechanisms.

Computer Tomography (CT)-Based Study to Investigate Feasibility and
Efficacy of Thoracoscopic Surgery in the Treatment of Penetrating Chest Wall
Tuberculosis
Authors: Xing Fuchen , Zhang Xia , Ji Saiguang , Zeng Yi , Zhou Hai , Xu Jian , Wang Chenyan , Liu Hong 
Published: January 2024

Background::
Chest wall tuberculosis may develop if tuberculous (TB) lesions spread through the chest wall and invade the thoracic cavity. The presence of a
mass on the patient's chest wall may be the first indication of TB, and a chest CT scan can help diagnose external penetrating chest wall TB, the
incursion of tuberculosis from the lungs into the chest wall.

Objective::
This study examines the safety and efficacy of thoracoscopic-assisted surgery for the treatment of penetrating chest wall tuberculosis as a means of
exploring novel concepts of minimally invasive surgery.

Methods::
Our hospital conducted a retrospective study of 25 patients with penetrating chest wall TB who underwent thoracoscopic surgery between January
2020 and June 2021. General demographics, CT scan data linked to surgery, and postoperative patient outcomes were compared between the two
groups. The data was also evaluated to determine the range of operation time and the volume of bleeding from different foci in the thoracic cavity.

Results::
All procedures went well after patients took conventional antituberculosis medication for at least two weeks prior to surgery. CT scans showed that
thoracoscopic surgery needed a smaller incision than traditional chest wall TB surgery, with no discernible increase in surgical time. Postoperative
tube use, length of hospital stay, and blood loss were all significantly lower than they would have been with conventional surgery. In addition,
thoracoscopy was associated with a significantly reduced rate of subsequent treatment. Fibrous plate development and calcification caused the
longest operation times in the thoracoscopic surgery group, whereas multiple pleural tuberculomas generated the most hemorrhage. Thoracoscopic
surgery usually reveals tuberculous foci hiding in the thoracic cavity.

Conclusion::
Thethoracic surgery can eliminate the TB focus in the chest wall and intrathoracic while treating penetrating chest wall tuberculosis. The CT scan
is a crucial part of the diagnostic process for these patients. Minor surgical trauma, low complication and recurrence rates, and good results. There
is a greater distinction between the two surgical approaches for patients with penetrating chest wall TB as opposed to those with basic chest wall
tuberculosis.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
Biomedical natural language processing tasks are best performed with English models, and translation tools have undergone major improvements. On the other hand, building annotated biomedical data sets remains a challenge.

Objective
The aim of our study is to determine whether the use of English tools to extract and normalize French medical concepts based on translations provides comparable performance to that of French models trained on a set of annotated French clinical notes.

Methods
We compared 2 methods: 1 involving French-language models and 1 involving English-language models. For the native French method, the named entity recognition and normalization steps were performed separately. For the translated English method, after the first translation step, we compared a 2-step method and a terminology-oriented method that performs extraction and normalization at the same time. We used French, English, and bilingual annotated data sets to evaluate all stages (named entity recognition, normalization, and translation) of our algorithms.

Results
The native French method outperformed the translated English method, with an overall F1-score of 0.51 (95% CI 0.47-0.55), compared with 0.39 (95% CI 0.34-0.44) and 0.38 (95% CI 0.36-0.40) for the 2 English methods tested.

Conclusions
Despite recent improvements in translation models, there is a significant difference in performance between the 2 approaches in favor of the native French method, which is more effective on French medical texts, even with few annotated documents.

Published: January 2024

This study discusses the long-term impact of the newly created institutions of the Indo-Pacific region (IPR) on the main regional integration institution of Southeast Asia (SEA), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and assesses the consequences of the implementation of the IPR concept by ASEAN countries.Aim . Determine the main trends in the development of regional integration processes in Southeast Asia in the 2020s. in the context of the Indo-Pacific process.Tasks. Determine the role of SEA countries in the Indo-Pacific process; identify the nature of the influence of AUKUS on the development trends of the regional security architecture of SEA; establish the impact of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) on the sustainable economic development of SEA countries.Methods. The methodological basis of this study is based on general scientific methods (system analysis, forecasting), political science methods, approaches to the analysis of regional security complexes existing in international relations studies (B. Buzan [3], O. Waver [5], J. De Wilde [4], A. Acharya [2]) and to the analysis of regional economic integration and its stages (J. Pelkmans [10]).Results . The inclusion of ASEAN countries in the Indo-Pacific process initiated by the United States of America (USA) and its allies in the future in 2030 leadsto 1) an increase in military spending, which may indicate a reduction in the level of trust in the region, 2) a reduction in the rate of convergence of the economies of Southeast Asian countries, which may indicate a growing imbalance in the level of development of ASEAN countries.Conclusions . The implementation of the IPR concept by ASEAN countries leads to the erosion of the “ASEAN-centricity” of regional institutions in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as to the projected reduction in the effectiveness of ASEAN in achieving the goals of a regional integration institution, namely: 1) an increase in military spending in the countries of the Asia-Pacific region in the 2020s, including in the ASEAN countries, indicating about the declining level of trust in relations with the PRC, leading to a decrease in the effectiveness of ASEAN diplomatic mechanisms to resolve existing disputes with China over the South China Sea; 2) the pace of catching-up development of poor Southeast Asian countries in the 2020s. are reduced, the implementation of IPEF will only be able to ensure some uneven economic growth in the most developed countries of Southeast Asia, it is becoming increasingly difficult for poor countries to catch up with the more developed countries of Southeast Asia in their level of economic development, and ASEAN’s goal of ensuring equitable economic development is becoming less achievable.

Published: January 2024

The present study is aimed at considering topical international legal problems related to notarial proceedings on the territory of Russia and foreign countries, including within the framework of the EAEU. This article deals with some modern actual international legal problems of notarial proceedings in private international law.Aim . Find ways to solve certain topical problems of notarial proceedings in private international law, in particular, the use of electronic documents issued outside the territory of the Russian Federation and the performance of notarial acts in connection with the introduction of economic measures in the context of sanctions against the Russian Federation.Tasks. Outline the essence and depth of certain topical problems of modern notarial proceedings in private international law, in particular, the use of electronic documents issued outside the territory of the Russian Federation and the performance of notarial acts in connection with the introduction of economic measures in the context of sanctions against the Russian Federation; formulate conclusions and suggestions on the specified research topic.Methods. The methodological basis of this study was the method of analysis and synthesis, the analytical method, the comparative legal method, the system-structural method, and some others.Results . During the study, the authors concluded that notary activity with a foreign element is a complex and responsible process that requires not only a high level of professionalism and competence from a notary public, but also the ability to work with clients from different countries, as well as with other specialists, in order to ensure the correct and accurate execution of documents. It is important to understand that each case can be unique, and a notary must be prepared to adapt to different situations and provide effective problem solving for his clients. However, a properly organized and professionally executed notarial activity with a foreign element can be an important step towards a successful international transaction or legal procedure.Conclusions . If we turn to modern problems of notarial proceedings in private international law, we can conclude that notarial proceedings in the Russian Federation were significantly affected by the global pandemic and the imposed sanctions conditions, which made it difficult or impossible to provide paper documents necessary for notarial acts. We believe that the transition to electronic document management will have a positive impact on international cooperation and will facilitate the performance of notarial acts. As a solution to the problem, we proposed the conclusion of an international treaty regulating electronic document management, in which it would be possible to establish the possibility of accepting international electronic documents.

Authors: Lamberton Barbara , Chang Chengyee J. , Geerts Guido L. , Raschke Robyn L. 
Published: January 2024

SYNOPSIS
Technology is transforming the role of entry-level accountants as the body of accounting knowledge continues to grow. Academics, practitioners, and policymakers must collaborate to balance knowledge of accounting and technology for entry-level accountants. However, whether the demands of the accounting workplace and professional certifications require accountants to have a deep understanding of a few key technologies, broad exposure to many technologies, or a combination of both is unclear. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the breadth versus depth of entry-level accountants’ technological preparedness from the perspectives of academics and practitioners. The results show that the breadth of technological knowledge is highly valued, with only a few technologies requiring in-depth learning. The study offers suggestions for future research and implications for practitioners, academics, and policymakers.
