ObjectiveThe goal was to assess the degree of overlap between existing International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) and preliminary Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO) classification criteria for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).MethodsParticipants from the Childhood Arthritis Prospective Study, a multicenter UK JIA inception cohort, were classified using the PRINTO and ILAR classification criteria into distinct categories. Systemic JIA was excluded because several classification items were not collected in this cohort. Adaptations to PRINTO criteria were required to apply to a UK health care setting, including limiting the number of blood biomarker tests required. The overlap between categories under the two systems was determined, and any differences in characteristics between groups were described.ResultsA total of 1,223 children and young people with a physician’s diagnosis of JIA were included. Using PRINTO criteria, the majority of the patients had “other JIA” (69.5%). There was a high degree of overlap (91%) between the PRINTO enthesitis/spondylitis‐ and ILAR enthesitis‐related JIA categories. The PRINTO rheumatoid factor (RF)–positive category was composed of 48% ILAR RF‐positive polyarthritis and 52% undifferentiated JIA. The early‐onset antinuclear antibodies–positive PRINTO category was largely composed of ILAR oligoarthritis (50%), RF‐negative polyarthritis (24%), and undifferentiated JIA (23%). A few patients were unclassified under PRINTO (n = 3) and would previously have been classified as enthesitis‐related JIA (n = 1) and undifferentiated JIA (n = 2) under ILAR.ConclusionUnder the preliminary PRINTO classification criteria for childhood arthritis, most children are not yet classified into a named category. These data can help support further delineation of the PRINTO criteria to ensure homogenous groups of children can be identified.

Alternate Architectural Subjects: An Apple Tree That Lived on Long Island
Authors: Lavin Sylvia 
Published: January 2024

AbstractExploring how the human became a troublesome concept, Sylvia Lavin, Professor of History and Theory of Architecture at Princeton University, takes us to Long Island, where a house was rearranged by an unlikely inhabitant – an apple tree. While trees have typically served to reflect and reinforce idealised definitions of the human, the architecture made for this tree shortly after the Second World War suggests instead how interspecies relations were already pointing towards architecture beyond humanity.

High Long‐Term Performance of 325‐Mesh Silicon Microparticle Anodes in Li‐Ion Batteries Enabled by Hierarchical Structure of Graphene Oxide and DNA Binder

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe promise of silicon anodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), owing to the high theoretical capacity, is significantly affected by the huge volume changes (over 300%) during the lithiation/delithiation process. This leads to particle cracking during cycling impacting the electrode at multiple levels, from continued solid‐electrolyte interphase formation, particle contact losses, to delamination of the coating from the current collector. As a results, there is increased electrolyte consumption, and significantly shortened cycle life, hindering its commercial application. The problem is severe for commercially viable larger silicon microparticles (SiMPs > 1 µm). Herein, the cycling of 325 mesh (≤45 µm) SiMPs is successfully demonstrated using a composite binder consisting of inner graphene oxide coating and outside DNA polymer. The resultant hierarchical structure, with cycling‐induced 3D interconnection, maintains the electrodes integrity, as well as helps to stabilize the SEI. Thus, an excellent cycle life is observed, retaining a capacity of 808 mAh·g−1 after 450 cycles at a current density of 840 mA·g−1. This double protection strategy with a robust particle coating and a chemically bonded soft polymer offers an effective strategy for cyclability of SiMPs in practical LIBs.

Published: January 2024

AbstractPerovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been considered new‐generation emitters for lighting and displays due to their high photoluminescence (PL) efficiency, and pure color. However, their commercialization process is currently hindered by the challenge of mass production in a quick and environmentally friendly manner. In this study, a polymer‐surface‐mediated mechanochemical reaction (PMR) is proposed to prepare perovskite QDs using a high‐speed multifunction grinder for the first time. PMR possesses two distinctive features: i) The ultra‐high rotating speed (>15 000 rpm) of the grinder facilitates the rapid conversion of the precursor to perovskite; ii) The surface‐rich polymer particulate ensures QDs with high dispersity, avoiding QD aggregation‐induced PL quenching. Therefore, PMR can successfully manufacture green perovskite QDs with a high PL quantum yield (PLQY) exceeding 90% in a highly material‐ (100% yield), time‐ (1 kg min−1), and effort‐ (solvent‐free) efficient manner. Moreover, the PMR demonstrates remarkable versatility, including synthesizing by various polymers and producing diverse colored and Pb‐free phosphors. Importantly, these phosphors featuring a combination of polymer and perovskite, are facilely processed into various solid emitters. The proposed rapid, green, and scalable approach has great potential to accelerate the commercialization of perovskite QDs.

AbstractPurposeOperations for malignant diseases of the bile duct, pancreas, and esophagus are the most invasive gastroenterological surgeries. The frequency of complications after these surgeries is high, which affects the postoperative course and mortality. In patients who undergo these types of surgeries, continuous monitoring of the perioperative central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) is possible via a central venous catheter. We aimed to investigate the relationship between continuously monitored perioperative ScvO2 values and postoperative complications.MethodsThe medical records of 115 patients who underwent highly invasive gastroenterological surgeries and ScvO2 monitoring from April 2012 to March 2014 were analyzed. Sixty patients met the inclusion criteria, and their ScvO2 levels were continuously monitored perioperatively. The relationship between ScvO2 levels and major postoperative complications, defined as Clavien–Dindo grade ≥ III, was examined using uni‐ and multivariate analysis.ResultsThirty patients developed major postoperative complications. The adequate cut‐off value derived from receiver operating curves of the postoperative average ScvO2 levels for predicting major complications was 75%. Multivariate analysis revealed that low average postoperative ScvO2 levels (p = 0.016) and blood loss ≥ 1000 mL (p = 0.039) were significant predictors of major postoperative complications.ConclusionsLow perioperative ScvO2 values were associated with an increased risk of major postoperative complications. Continuous ScvO2 monitoring will help prevent postoperative complications.

Published: January 2024

AbstractObjectivesStudies suggest that living at high altitude decreases obesity risk, but this research is limited to single‐country analyses. We examine the relationship between altitude and body mass index (BMI) among women living in a diverse sample of low‐ and middle‐income countries.Materials and MethodsUsing Demographic and Health Survey data from 1 583 456 reproductive age women (20–49 years) in 54 countries, we fit regression models predicting BMI and obesity by altitude controlling for a range of demographic factors—age, parity, breastfeeding status, wealth, and education.ResultsA mixed‐effects model with country‐level random intercepts and slopes predicts an overall −0.162 kg/m2 (95% CI −0.220, −0.104) reduction in BMI and lower odds of obesity (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.87, 0.95) for every 200 m increase in altitude. However, countries vary dramatically in whether they exhibit a negative or positive association between altitude and BMI (34 countries negative, 20 positive). Mixed findings also arise when examining odds of obesity.DiscussionWe show that past findings of declining obesity risk with altitude are not universal. Increasing altitude predicts slightly lower BMIs at the global level, but the relationship within individual countries varies in both strength and direction.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONIdentification of Alzheimer's disease (AD) needs inexpensive, noninvasive biomarkers, with validation in all populations.METHODSWe collected plasma markers in older American Indian individuals: phosphorylated‐tau181 (pTau181); amyloid‐beta (Aβ) 40,42; glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP); and neurofilament light chain (NfL). Plasma markers were analyzed for discriminant properties with cognitive status and etiology using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.RESULTSPTau181, GFAP, NfL plasma values were significantly associated with cognition, but Aβ were not. Discriminant performance was moderate for individual markers, with pTau181, GFAP, NfL performing best, but an empirically selected panel of markers (age, sex, education, pTau181, GFAP, NfL, Aβ4240 ratio) had excellent discriminant performance (AUC > 0.8).DISCUSSIONIn American Indian individuals, pTau181 and Aβ values suggested more common pathology than in majority populations. Aβ was less informative than in other populations; however, all four markers were needed for a best‐performing dementia diagnostic model. These data validate utility of AD plasma markers, while suggesting population‐specific diagnostic characteristics.
Review of the Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect
Authors: Iorio Lorenzo , Mashhoon Bahram 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe general relativistic gravitomagnetic clock effect, in its simplest form, consists of the non‐vanishing difference in the orbital periods of two counter‐orbiting objects moving in opposite directions along circular orbits lying in the equatorial plane of a central rotating source. Both the theoretical and observational aspects of such an intriguing consequence of Einstein's theory of gravitation are reviewed.
Helmholtz, Schrödinger, and the First Non‐Euclidean Model of Perceptual Color Space
Authors: Roberti Valentina 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis paper explores the groundbreaking contributions of Hermann von Helmholtz and Erwin Schrödinger to the geometry of color space ‐a 3D space that correlates color distances with perceptual differences. Drawing upon his expertise in non‐Euclidean geometry, physics, and psychophysics, Helmholtz introduced the first Riemannian line element in color space between 1891 and 1892, inaugurating a new line of research known as higher color metric, a term coined by Schrödinger in 1920. During his tenure at the University of Vienna, Schrödinger extensively worked on color theory and rediscovered Helmholtz's forgotten line element. In his 1920 papers titled “Grundlinien einer Theorie der Farbmetrik im Tagessehen,” published in the Annalen der Physik, Schrödinger elucidated certain shortcomings in Helmholtz's model and proposed his refined version of the Riemannian line element. This study delves into this captivating chapter in the history of color science, emphasizing the profound impact of Helmholtz's and Schrödinger's work on subsequent research in color metrics up to the present day.

Published: January 2024

AbstractAggregation‐induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) have received sustained attention in almost all fields of luminescent materials such as selective biochemical sensors, liquid crystals, and anti‐counterfeiting identification. However, the application of neutral AIEgens in the biomedical field is often greatly limited due to their low water solubility. By introducing charges into AIEgens, AIEgens are endowed with good water solubility as well as specific binding ability to bioorganic molecules or special materials with opposite charges, thus expanding the application range of AIEgens. In this review, we focus on the design strategy of charged AIEgens and then summarize the wide applications of charged AIEgens in light‐guided treatments integrating simultaneous phototherapy and real‐time monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. Finally, we conclude with the challenges and application prospects of charged AIEgens. We hope that this review will provide valuable guidance for further expanding the application of charged AIEgens in the field of biological imaging and phototherapy.

AbstractTo enhance the quality evaluation and control of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and ensure the safety and efficacy of clinical medication, it is imperative to establish a comprehensive quality assessment method aligned with TCM efficacy. This study uses a representative Chinese medicine with multi‐origin and multi‐efficacy, Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis (PY), as an illustrative example. Surprisingly, despite the high fingerprint similarity among the 12 batches of PY samples collected from various regions in Yunnan, a notable variation in the composition and content of components was observed. The chromatographic analysis identified seven common peaks, namely, polyphyllin I, polyphyllin II, polyphyllin V, polyphyllin VI, polyphyllin VII, polyphyllin H, and polyphyllin D. In the bioactivity evaluation, an in vitro antiplatelet aggregation model induced by adenosine diphosphate was established, showcasing excellent stability. The maximum antiplatelet aggregation inhibition rate for all PY samples consistently remained stable at 73.1%–99.1%. However, the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values exhibited a range from 1.615 to 18.200 mg/mL. This approach not only meets high‐throughput screening requirements but also demonstrates remarkable discrimination. The results of chemical and bioactivity evaluations were analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis and canonical correlation analysis. Polyphyllin I, polyphyllin II, polyphyllin VII, polyphyllin H, and polyphyllin D were identified as the Q‐markers for antiplatelet aggregation in PY samples. Validation of the bioactivity for these monomer components aligned with the previously mentioned findings. Notably, this study established a spectrum–effect model for PY samples, enhancing the scientific robustness of the quality evaluation method. Furthermore, these findings offer valuable research insights for improving the quality assessment of other TCMs.

AbstractBackgroundNeuroimaging studies have revealed the role of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the neurobiological mechanism of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). However, only a few studies have examined the functional connectivity (FC) pattern of the right DLPFC at rest in OCD.ObjectiveThe aim of this research is to examine the FC patterns of the right DLPFC at rest in OCD.MethodsTwenty‐eight medication‐free patients with OCD and 20 healthy controls underwent resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Seed‐based FC and support vector machine (SVM) were used to analyze the imaging data.ResultsThe patients with OCD showed reduced FC values in the right middle temporal gyrus (MTG), right superior temporal gyrus, right ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC), and left Crus II. No brain regions showed a remarkable difference in FC values in patients with OCD after 8 weeks of medication treatment. The reduced right DLPFC–right MTG and right DLPFC–right vACC connectivities were correlated with the clinical symptoms of OCD. SVM results showed that reduced right DLPFC–right MTG connectivity at rest could predict the therapeutic response to OCD medication.ConclusionsThe findings highlight the important role of the right DLPFC in the pathophysiological mechanism of OCD.

Published: January 2024

AbstractCell lines are important in vitro models to answer biological mechanisms with less genetic variations. The present study was attempted to develop a cell line from rainbow trout, where we obtained a cell line from the heart, named “RBT‐H.” The cell line was authenticated using karyotyping and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequencing. The karyotype demonstrated diploid chromosome number (2n) as 62 and the sequence of partial COI gene was 99.84% similar to rainbow trout COI data set, both suggesting the origin of RBT‐H from the rainbow trout. The heart cell line was mycoplasma‐free and found to be refractory to infection with the Tilapia lake virus. The RBT‐H cell line is deposited in the National Repository of Fish Cell Line (NRFC) at ICAR‐NBFGR, Lucknow, India, with Accession no. NRFC0075 for maintenance and distribution to researchers on request for R&D.
Self‐stigma of incarceration and its impact on health and community integration

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundIndividuals returning to the wider community from incarceration face many re‐entry barriers, including stigmatising beliefs regarding past criminal record, that have impact on health and re‐entry. Understanding the development and impact of self‐stigma on health can inform re‐entry and rehabilitation services.AimsThe two aims of this study were first, to evaluate a previously established model of self‐stigma applied to individuals who have experienced incarceration and, secondly, to study the impact of self‐stigma on physical and mental health as well as community integration on re‐entry.MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional study of 129 formerly incarcerated adults recruited using an online platform and asked to complete online rating scales about self‐stigmatisation, health and sense of community integration. Repeated‐measures analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and path analyses were used to evaluate the model.ResultsThere was support for the four distinct stages of self‐stigmatisation apparent in mental health research. There was a relationship between self‐stigma harm and sense of community integration, mediated by mental but not physical health status scores.ConclusionOur findings add to work on self‐stigmatisation in the field of mental health by showing that the concept appears relevant and appears in similar staging among formerly incarcerated individuals and that self‐stigmatisation is likely to be important for their community reintegration. Our sample was not typical of the wider prison population for race and gender distribution, in particular having fewer than expected those minority groups likely to be especially vulnerable to stigmatisation by others. Our findings nevertheless suggest that further, preferably, longitudinal research on self‐stigma to enable better understanding of pathways could substantially help treatment and rehabilitation of individuals after release from a correctional facility.
