Evaluation of cannibalism during hatchery rearing of tiger muskellunge crosses
Authors: Shields Robert , Wolf Skylar , Schwepe Connor 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Objective
Juvenile tiger muskellunge (Northern Pike Esox lucius × Muskellunge E. masquinongy) are cannibalistic, which can lead to a substantial reduction in yields within an intensive culture environment. Utah hatcheries have traditionally raised the female Northern Pike × male Muskellunge cross, and hatchery managers are reluctant to raise the female Muskellunge × male Northern Pike due to a perceived difference (increase) in cannibalism rates when rearing this cross.

Methods
We raised both crosses in replicated microcosms to evaluate the differential cannibalism between them. All rearing conditions were consistent among treatments and replicates. We evaluated weekly cannibalism using generalized linear regression models.

Result
After 6 weeks, we found that the female Muskellunge × male Northern Pike cross offspring were significantly more cannibalistic than juveniles from the female Northern Pike × male Muskellunge cross, with total cannibalism across the 6-week period estimated at 27% and 5.6%, respectively.

Conclusion
We documented a previously unreported difference in tiger muskellunge cross cannibalism rates. Choosing the female Northern Pike × male Muskellunge cross could substantially increase survival of juvenile tiger muskellunge in aquaculture facilities.

Abstract

Objective
Reducing Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides recruitment and therefore population density could benefit recreational fisheries in small impoundments by improving individual growth rates and increasing the average size and condition of Largemouth Bass. To achieve these effects, methods of controlling Largemouth Bass recruitment should avoid reducing the productivity of their primary prey species, the Bluegill Lepomis macrochirus.

Methods
We tested this hypothesis by evaluating the effects of shoreline rotenone application on the density of Bluegill and the density, growth, and survival of age-0 and age-1 Largemouth Bass in 15 Alabama small impoundments.

Result
After treatment, Largemouth Bass age-0 densities declined and mean age-1 length increased, whereas Bluegill populations were not significantly reduced.

Conclusion
Our study indicates that shoreline rotenone application may be a valuable method for reducing Largemouth Bass recruitment and increasing the growth of age-1 Largemouth Bass in small impoundments. However, further research is needed to understand the effects of treatment on nontarget fishes and to better assess the effects of factors such as impoundment surface area and treatment frequency and duration on the ultimate utility of the approach.
Low-level infection of parasitic copepods on Rainbow Trout does not affect vulnerability to angling or short-term survival following catch-and-release angling
Authors: Swain-Menzel Hannah N. , Billman Eric J. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Objective
Parasitic copepods, or “gill lice,” can harm fish hosts, resulting in reductions in fitness and increased probability of mortality. The purpose of our study was to determine the effect of Salmincola californiensis on the vulnerability of Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss to recreational angling and short-term survival after being caught and released.

Methods
We compared the prevalence and intensity of infection of S. californiensis on Rainbow Trout that were caught while angling and with a backpack electrofisher in May and October 2020 in Birch Creek, Idaho. In October, we also conducted a stress test (air-exposure treatment) on trout that were caught by angling to determine the effects of parasitic copepods on the short-term survival of Rainbow Trout in a catch-and-release fishery.

Result
Infection with S. californiensis did not influence the vulnerability of Rainbow Trout to angling. After adjusting for sample size and size distribution, the prevalence of infection in May was 48.3% for Rainbow Trout that were caught while electrofishing and 49.3% for Rainbow Trout that were caught while angling. In October, the prevalence of infection was 41.2% for Rainbow Trout that were caught while electrofishing and 41.8% for Rainbow Trout that were caught while angling. We did not find a difference in short-term survival rates for infected and uninfected Rainbow Trout after the stress test (4–7 days after the test).

Conclusion
We did not observe consequences of infection by parasitic copepods on vulnerability to angling or short-term survival of Rainbow Trout in Birch Creek. However, the conditions (low-level of infection and relatively small fish) may not have been conducive to detecting differences in the performance metrics; further testing at higher intensity of infection and with larger fish may uncover the negative effects of parasitic copepods on Rainbow Trout.

AbstractBackgroundThe healthcare costs of patients who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are substantial. At the same time, the increasing use of pediatric HSCT leaves more caregivers of pediatric HSCT recipients at risk for financial burden—an understudied area of research.MethodsFinancial burden experienced by caregivers of recipients who received autologous or allogeneic transplants was assessed using an explanatory mixed‐methods design including a one‐time survey and semi‐structured interviews. Financial burden was assessed through an adapted COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST) as well as questions about the types of out‐of‐pocket costs and cost‐coping behaviors. Chi‐squared or Fisher's exact tests were used to assess differences in costs incurred and coping behaviors by financial toxicity and financial toxicity by demographic factors. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using directed content analysis.ResultsOf 99 survey participants, 64% experienced high financial toxicity (COST 22). Caregivers with high financial toxicity were more likely to report costs related to transportation and diet. High financial toxicity was associated with nearly all cost‐coping behaviors (e.g., borrowed money). High financial toxicity was also associated with increased use of hospital financial support and transportation assistance. Qualitative analysis resulted in four categories that were integrated with quantitative findings: (1) care‐related out‐of‐pocket costs incurred, (2) cost‐coping behaviors, (3) financial support resources used, and (4) multilevel recommendations for reducing financial burden.ConclusionsConsidering the substantial, long‐term financial burden among pediatric HSCT patients and their caregivers, this population would benefit from adapted and tailored financial burden interventions.

Published: September 2023

AbstractTo overcome the dependence of continuous carbon fiber reinforced thermoset composites (CCFRTCs) on molds during the curing, a thermoset continuous fiber prepreg filament and thermoplastic filament alternate printing method was proposed. CCFRTCs with thin thermoplastic shells were prepared based on the method, and the confinement of thermoplastic shells enabled the mold‐less curing of CCFRTCs. The influence of key curing process parameters on the flexural properties of the specimens was systematically investigated. The experimental results showed that the flexural properties of the prepared composites were correlated positively with the vacuum degree and showed a tendency of first increasing and then decreasing with the increasement of impregnation time and curing temperature. Through x‐ray computed tomography (CT) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis, the effect of key curing process parameters on the flexural properties of the CCFRTCs was clarified. Under the guidance of suitable curing process parameters, the flexural strength and modulus of the composite reached 482.89 MPa and 35.11 GPa, which were significantly better than most existing 3D printed continuous carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. Finally, complex components were prepared to verify the feasibility and versatility of the technique.Highlights

AbstractT‐300 6K carbon fabric fiber‐reinforced epoxy laminated composites are prepared by in‐situ and hot‐compression molding technique. The main emphasis of this study is to examine the impact of the structural deformations on fiber orientations of laminated composites during vibrational damping, stiffness, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. The damping properties of carbon fiber laminated composites are analyzed in terms of natural frequency and logarithmic decrement. The digital image correlation technique has been used to measure the mode shape behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. The dynamic behavior of the CFRP laminated composites has significant effect on the fiber orientations in terms of storage, loss modulus, and damping ratio. The value of EMI shielding of CFRP laminated composites of T‐300 6K based CFRP polymer laminated composites has slight variations in the SET and their values are 107.17 (B‐45), 106.33 (B‐30), and 110.0 dB (B‐0). The vibrational and EMI shielding properties are showing a huge potential for these kinds of CFRP laminated composites in military and aircraft applications.Highlights

The ply orientation of CFRP composites were affected the mechanical properties.
DIC was used to determine the mode shapes of laminated composites.

Published: September 2023

AbstractTo further the computational design of polymer foaming, this work investigated the interactions between polymer and nucleating agents by evaluating the removal forces needed to remove the polymer from the nucleating agent using molecular dynamics simulations. Silica nanoparticles modified with different organic groups and different surface modification ratios represented model nucleating agents and poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), a model polymer. Modified organic groups with a certain length and flexibility grafted sparsely on the silica surface, creating a “savanna‐like” structure, increased the interaction between PMMA and the silica nanoparticle. The simulation results predicted the effects of the modified organic group and surface modification ratio R of the silica nanoparticle seen in actual batch foaming experiments using CO2 and PMMA with modified silica nanoparticles. Cell size shows a minimum and cell nucleation density a maximum in the foamed polymer under certain conditions, which correlate with the simulation results for the interactions between the polymer and nucleating agent. Based on the correspondence between the simulation and the experimental results, the effectiveness of such simulations for the design of nucleation agents appeared promising.Highlights

Mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene with nodular or spherulite morphologies
Authors: Fukuda Yuta , Kida Takumitsu , Yamaguchi Masayuki 
Published: September 2023

Abstractα‐form crystalline isotactic polypropylene (PP) was prepared by two methods: quenching from the melt state at slow or high crystallization rates. The mechanical properties of the resulting PP samples were evaluated using tensile and stress–relaxation tests to investigate the influence of nodular or spherulite morphologies. PP samples with different morphologies had almost the same crystallinity after annealing at 100°C for 5 h. The yielding stress, strain‐hardening modulus, and strength of the nodular PP were higher than those of the spherulite PP, although the crystallinity was almost the same for both PP samples. Furthermore, the relaxation time during the stress–relaxation process at ε = 4.0 was longer for the nodular PP than for the spherulite PP. The lamellar structure of a spherulite morphology comprises parent and daughter lamellar crystals, whereas that of a nodular morphology prepared via a mesophase structure comprises only parent lamellar crystals. The formation of the daughter lamellae reduces the number of tie chains. Therefore, the nodular PP has more tie chains than the spherulite PP. This transformation from a spherulite to a nodular morphology improved the mechanical properties of the PP.Highlights
Influences of morphology on mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP).
Tensile properties were higher for nodular PP than spherulite PP.
Relaxation time of nodular PP was longer than spherulite PP.
Nodular PP has more tie chains, resulting in improvements of tensile properties.

AbstractThe degradation of methyl orange (MO) as an anionic dye was evaluated with the aid of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) impregnated regenerated cellulo se (RC) nanocomposite film as a photocatalyst. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was used to obtain the RC films using the solution casting method, wherein BiFeO3 (0–5 wt%) was added into the MCC dissolution ionic liquid 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride system. The film characterization was accomplished by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, XRD, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV−visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, TGA, SEM and vibrational sample magnetometry. The photocatalytic performance of the film was evaluated by treating the catalyst dye mixture under direct sunlight until significant colour removal of the dye was observed. The concentration of the dye at each time interval was determined with the aid of UV–visible spectroscopy. According to the findings about characterization, BiFeO3 showed good compatibility with RC, and the impregnation of BiFeO3 in RC did not alter the physicochemical properties of pure RC. The photocatalyst showed a 90% degradation of 10 ppm MO as maximum with 3 wt% BiFeO3 loading at pH 2 and the catalytic performance was stabilized for four cycles. © 2023 Society of Industrial Chemistry.

AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) manifests as a major health concern, particularly for the elderly. Understanding AKI‐related proteome changes is critical for prevention and development of novel therapeutics to recover kidney function and to mitigate the susceptibility for recurrent AKI or development of chronic kidney disease. In this study, mouse kidneys were subjected to ischemia‐reperfusion injury, and the contralateral kidneys remained uninjured to enable comparison and assess injury‐induced changes in the kidney proteome. A ZenoTOF 7600 mass spectrometer was optimized for data‐independent acquisition (DIA) to achieve comprehensive protein identification and quantification. Short microflow gradients and the generation of a deep kidney‐specific spectral library allowed for high‐throughput, comprehensive protein quantification. Upon AKI, the kidney proteome was completely remodeled, and over half of the 3945 quantified protein groups changed significantly. Downregulated proteins in the injured kidney were involved in energy production, including numerous peroxisomal matrix proteins that function in fatty acid oxidation, such as ACOX1, CAT, EHHADH, ACOT4, ACOT8, and Scp2. Injured kidneys exhibited severely damaged tissues and injury markers. The comprehensive and sensitive kidney‐specific DIA‐MS assays feature high‐throughput analytical capabilities to achieve deep coverage of the kidney proteome, and will serve as useful tools for developing novel therapeutics to remediate kidney function.
The influence of the substrate temperature on the growth mechanism of amine‐ and thiol‐based plasma polymers: A comparative study

Published: September 2023

AbstractThis work aims to provide new insights into the link between the growth mechanisms of functionalized plasma polymer films (PPFs) and the substrate temperature (TS). By means of AFM‐based techniques, it has been demonstrated that the mechanical behavior of the coatings is dramatically affected by TS and the precursor employed (i.e., 1‐propanethiol or 1‐propylamine). While propylamine‐based PPFs behave as hard elastic materials regardless of TS, propanethiol‐based PPFs evolve from viscous liquids to elastic solids with increasing TS. This behavior can be understood considering the glass transition temperature of PPF. For both precursors, the latter is correlated to the cross‐linking density controlled through the energy density brought by positive ions to the growing film.

AbstractIntroductionThis retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effect of rehabilitation and without weekend therapy on Activities of daily living (ADL) and readmission in vertebral fracture patients aged 60 years and older.MethodsThe present study used a hospital‐based database created by JMDC Inc. The JMDC hospital‐based database is an epidemiological database that has been storing medical claims and Diagnosis Procedure Combination survey data. This study included 40,743 admitted patients aged 60 years or older who were admitted for rehabilitation purposes with a diagnosis of compression fracture of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine based on a previous diagnostic survey. We extracted the medical information from the database. Patients who received rehabilitation 7 days a week were classified into two groups: the “weekend rehabilitation group” and “nonweekend rehabilitation group.” To reduce confounding effects related to differences in patient background, we used propensity score with multiple logistic regression models. Analysis of the JMDC database was conducted with the approval of the Institutional Review Board (approval number: 1228‐1). Because all data were anonymized, informed consent was not required.ResultsPropensity score matching resulted in 13,790 cases being included in the analysis. Barthel index (BI) at discharge, change in BI, and readmission were significantly different between the weekend rehabilitation and nonweekend rehabilitation groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis suggested a reduced odds of readmission with weekend rehabilitation (odds ratio = 0.907, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.843–0.975, p‐value = 0.008). Furthermore, greater changes in BI and BI at discharge were associated with the effect of weekend rehabilitation (unstandardized [B] = 3.922, 95% CI = 2.925–4.919), (unstandardized [B] = 3.512, 9% CI = 2.424–4.6), respectively.ConclusionsWeekend rehabilitation was considered as an important part of the treatment program to acquire ADL and to prevent readmission.

Published: September 2023

AbstractClopidogrel is an antiplatelet drug used to reduce the risk of acute coronary syndrome and stroke. It is converted by CYP2C19 to its active metabolite; therefore, poor metabolizers (PMs) of CYP2C19 exhibit diminished antiplatelet effects. Herein, we conducted a proof‐of‐concept study for using population pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic (PK‐PD) modeling to recommend a personalized clopidogrel dosing regimen for individuals with varying CYP2C19 phenotypes and baseline P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) levels. Data from a prospective phase I clinical trial involving 36 healthy male participants were used to develop the population PK‐PD model predicting the concentrations of clopidogrel, clopidogrel H4, and clopidogrel carboxylic acid, and linking clopidogrel H4 concentrations to changes in PRU levels. A two‐compartment model effectively described the PKs of both clopidogrel and clopidogrel carboxylic acid, and a one‐compartment model of those of clopidogrel H4. The CYP2C19 phenotype was identified as a significant covariate influencing the metabolic conversion of the parent drug to its metabolites. A PD submodel of clopidogrel H4 that stimulated the fractional turnover rate of PRU levels showed the best performance. Monte Carlo simulations suggested that PMs require three to four times higher doses than extensive metabolizers to reach the target PRU level. Individuals within the top 20th percentile of baseline PRU levels were shown to require 2.5–3 times higher doses than those in the bottom 20th percentile. We successfully developed a population PK‐PD model for clopidogrel considering the impact of CYP2C19 phenotypes and baseline PRU levels. Further studies are necessary to confirm actual dosing recommendations for clopidogrel.
