Abstract
Background: Investigating the kinematics of copers, who are individuals with no recurrent ankle sprains, is necessary to prevent the development of chronic ankle instability (CAI). Since the “giving way” of the ankle joint (episodes of excessive inversion of the rearfoot, which do not result in an acute lateral ankle sprain) usually occurs during walking, investigating the intra-foot coordination during walking is necessary. This study aims to identify intra-foot coordination and its variability in copers while walking.
Methods: The study included 12 copers, 13 CAIs, and 10 controls. The participants were required to walk on a treadmill at a fixed speed of 1.3 m/s. Using the modified vector coding technique, the coupling angle between the intra-foot joints, representing inter-joint coordination, was calculated and categorized into four coordination patterns. The coupling angle standard deviation represented the coordination variability during the stance phase.
Results: The coordination between the rearfoot and midfoot in the frontal plane showed a significantly lower proportion of anti-phase with proximal dominance in the coper group than in the CAI and control groups during mid-stance (p < .05). Regarding coordination between the midfoot and forefoot in the sagittal plane, the coper group also showed a significantly lower proportion of in-phase coordination with distal dominancy than the CAI group during mid-stance (p < .05). For coordination between the midfoot and forefoot in the frontal plane, the coper group also showed a significantly lower proportion of anti-phase with distal dominance than the CAI group during the late stance (p < .05).The coordination variability between the sagittal midfoot and forefoot in the coper group was significantly lower than that in the CAI group and similar to that in the control group during mid-stance (p < .050).
Conclusions: These differences may explain why copers do not experience ankle sprain recurrence.

ImportanceInvestigations into the association of antepartum maternal infections with the pathogenesis of biliary atresia (BA) in human offspring are insufficient.ObjectiveTo examine the association between prenatal infections in mothers and the development of BA in their offspring.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based case-control study obtained administrative data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database with linkage to the Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database, capturing demographic and medical information on nearly all 23 million of the Taiwan population. The cohort comprised 2 905 978 singleton live births among mother-infant dyads between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2020, in Taiwan. The case group of infants with BA was identified from use of International Classification of Diseases diagnostic codes for BA and subsequent Kasai procedure or liver transplant. The control group was randomly selected from infants without BA, representing approximately 1 in 1000 study population. Data analyses were performed from May 1 to October 31, 2023.ExposurePrenatal maternal infections, including intestinal infection, influenza, upper airway infection, pneumonia, soft-tissue infection, and genitourinary tract infection.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcome was exposure to prenatal maternal infections. Inverse probability weighting analysis was performed by building a logistic regression model to estimate the probability of the exposure observed for a particular infant and using the estimated probability as a weight in subsequent analyses. The weighted odds ratio (OR) estimated by logistic regressions was then used to assess the risk of BA in offspring after prenatal maternal infections.ResultsAmong the mother-infant dyads included, 447 infants with BA were cases (232 females [51.9%]) and 2912 infants without BA were controls (1514 males [52.0%]). The mean (SD) maternal age at childbirth was 30.7 (4.9) years. Offspring exposed to prenatal intestinal infection (weighted OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.17-1.82) and genitourinary tract infection (weighted OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05-1.41) in mothers exhibited a significantly higher risk of BA. Furthermore, maternal intestinal infection (weighted OR, 6.05; 95% CI, 3.80-9.63) and genitourinary tract infection (weighted OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.13-2.11) that occurred during the third trimester were associated with an increased risk of BA in offspring.Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this case-control study indicate an association between prenatal intestinal infection and genitourinary tract infection in mothers and BA occurrence in their offspring. Further studies are warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms of this association.

Published: January 2024

AbstractMantis shrimps deliver one of the fastest strikes with their powerful dactyl clubs. The kinematic energy derived by a saddle storing and releasing mechanical energy with large deformation. As an exoskeleton, the toughness of saddles can achieve a remarkable value ≈15.28 ± 2.32 MJ m−3, which exceeds most bulk natural materials. The excellent toughness of saddles is mainly attributed to the synergy of the helical mineralized fiber architectures and interlaminar fibrils. The interlaminar fibrils connect adjacent mineralized fiber layers closely, enhancing the toughness through viscoelastic deformation during sliding and separating of adjacent layers. They further cooperate with rigid interlacing fiber structure induced by helical structure to transform little normal strain to large shear strain utilizing incompressibility of soft fibrils further to enhance strain energy for toughening. Inspired by unique laminated saddles, the laminate composites are designed with basalt fabrics achieving remarkable fracture toughness to solve the problem of delamination in traditional laminate composites with poor interlaminar toughness. The Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of bio‐inspired laminate composites respectively increase by 44% and 118% reaching 906.8 and 1394.6 J m−2, which provides an innovative bionic strategy for designing new generation structural engineering materials with excellent mechanical properties.

AbstractSolar cells comprising earth‐abundant and non‐toxic elements with applicable bandgaps and high absorption coefficients have attracted considerable interest over the past several decades and are important devices for addressing the future demand for clean and renewable energy. Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) crystal material effectively meets these requirements owing to its suitable bandgap, high absorption coefficient, high electron and hole mobilities, earth abundance, and excellent stability. Solution‐processed Sb2S3 films are essential to facilitate the fabrication of low‐cost, large‐scale, and high‐efficiency photovoltaic devices, but suffer from several shortcomings of large intrinsic defects, high interfacial barrier, and atomic mismatch, uncontrollable film thickness, and crystal orientation. In this review, a systematic overview of the fundamental properties of solution‐processed Sb2S3 materials is presented, and then interface engineering, defect passivation and control strategies, crystal orientation and modulation methods, device structure, and the performance of Sb2S3 solar cells are focused, highlighting the primary advancements and major challenges based on this technology. Finally, several creative perspectives and constructive innovation strategies for future research on Sb2S3 photovoltaic devices are provided, indicating a roadmap for the practical application of other inorganic semiconductor heterojunction thin film solar cells.

Published: January 2024

AbstractHigher manganese silicides (denoted as MnSiγ) are a prominent class of intermetallic compound for thermoelectric applications that crystallizes into a Nowotny Chimney Ladder (NCL) phase and constitutes a higher concentration of silicon with odd stoichiometry, typically represented by an irrational number. In this work, the genesis of Si odd stoichiometry and secondary phase relations in silicon‐rich and silicon‐deficient MnSix is presented to clarify the significance of labile (i.e., easily alterable) Si‐subsystem in inheriting the modulated lattice structure with characteristic anharmonicity. The transport properties show an interrelation to the presence of a secondary phase, which is driven by the odd stoichiometry, where the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) is found to be optimal for MnSi1.74. The structural characterization of rapidly solidified melt‐spun ribbons and spark plasma sintered bulk specimens reveal a characteristic presence of MnSi and Si as secondary phases in Si‐deficient (x ≈ 1.5) and Si‐excess (x ≈ 2) compositions of nominal MnSix, respectively, that coexists with the major MnSiγ based NCL phase. This study provides the fundamental basis of phase evolution and the relevance of odd stoichiometry in silicon‐rich manganese silicides which exhibit fascinating phonon dynamics in optimal MnSi1.74 stoichiometry.

Published: January 2024

AbstractGas therapy, represented by nitric oxide (NO), has shown a powerful anti‐tumor effect. However, current NO therapy relies on NO precursors, which are often released prematurely during in vivo delivery, resulting in poor targeting and obvious toxic side effects. Herein, a core/shell‐structured nanocatalyst is designed and prepared to catalyze the generation of NO in tumor without introduction of NO donor. In this system, C‐Z@CM is prepared by coating the octahedron of Cu‐MOF with a nano‐ZnO, and camouflaging homologous tumor cell membrane. After the nanomedicine is taken up by tumor cells, ZnO reacts in situ with endogenous S‐nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), which is highly expressed in tumors, to continuously and stably generate NO. In addition, the dispersed copper ions in C‐Z@CM acts as the catalytic active centers of the Fenton‐like reaction, which catalyzes H2O2 to generate a large number of hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Importantly, the cascade of NO and reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the massive production of more lethal reactive nitrogen species (RNS), further enhancing the therapeutic effect. Catalytic production of high concentrations of NO in situ in the tumor, combined with the cascade generation of ROS and RNS, accompanied by glutathione (GSH) depletion, achieving effective tumor suppression.
