Published: September 2023

We report a metasurface cutoff perfect absorber (MCPA) in the solar energy wavelength band based on the double Mie resonances generated from the silicon and gallium arsenide nanoring arrays grown on the Al layer in the solar energy wavelengths. A high average absorption of 0.910 in the absorption band and almost eliminated absorption in the nonabsorption band are realized within only 120 nm thick structures. The MCPA is of a sharp cutoff between the absorption and nonabsorption band, whose extinction ratio, extinction difference, and cutoff slope are 9.4 dB, 0.8, and 0.0019nm−1, respectively. The proposed MCPA suggests an efficient way to design a solar thermal absorber, which is of great importance in renewable energy, such as for solar thermal applications.
Arrays of glass wedges for multi-dimensional optical diagnostics
Authors: Richardson Daniel R. 
Published: September 2023

There is a common need in the advancement of optical diagnostic
techniques to increase the dimensionality of measurements. For
example, point measurements could be improved to multi-point, line,
planar, volumetric, or time-resolved volumetric measurements. In this
work, a unique optical element is presented to enable
multi-dimensional measurements, namely, an array of glass wedges. A
light source is passed through the wedges, and different portions of
the illumination are refracted by different amounts depending on the
glass wedge angle. Subsequent optics can be used to focus the light to
multiple points, lines, or planes. Basic characterization of a glass
wedge array is presented. Additional wedge-array configurations are
discussed, including the use of a periodic intensity mask for
multi-planar measurements via structured illumination. The utility of
this optical element is briefly demonstrated in
(a) multi-planar flame particulate measurements,
(b) multi-point femtosecond-laser electronic excitation tagging
for flow velocimetry, and (c) multi-line nitric oxide molecular
tagging velocimetry in a hypersonic shock-tunnel. One significant
advantage of this optical component is its compatibility with
high-energy laser sources, which may be a limiting factor with other
beam-splitting or beam-forming elements such as some diffractive
optics. Additionally, an array of glass wedges is simple and easily
customizable compared to other methods for forming multiple closely
spaced illumination patterns. Suggestions for further development and
applications are discussed.

Published: September 2023

Background
More than 250 loci have been identified by genome-wide scans for type 2 diabetes in different populations. South Asians have a very different manifestation of the diseases and hence role of these loci need to be investigated among Indians with huge burden of cardio-metabolic disorders. Thus the present study aims to validate the recently identified GWAS loci in an endogamous caste population in North India.

Methods
219 T2D cases and 184 controls were recruited from hospitals and genotyped for 15 GWAS loci of T2D. Regression models adjusted for covariates were run to examine the association for T2D and fasting glucose levels.

Results
We validated three variants for T2D namely, rs11634397 at ZFAND6 (OR = 3.05, 95%CI = 1.02–9.19, p = 0.047) and rs8042680 at PRC1 (OR = 3.67, 95%CI = 1.13–11.93, p = 0.031) showing higher risk and rs6813195 at TMEM154 (OR = 0.28, 95%CI = 0.09–0.90, p = 0.033) showing protective effect. The combined risk of 9 directionally consistent variants was also found to be significantly associated with T2D (OR = 1.91, 95%CI = 1.18–3.08, p = 0.008). One variant rs10842994 at KLHDC5 was validated for 9.15mg/dl decreased fasting glucose levels (SE = -17.25–1.05, p = 0.027).

Conclusion
We confirm the role of ZFAND6, PRC1 and TMEM154 in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes among Indians. More efforts are needed with larger sample sizes to validate the diabetes GWAS loci in South Asian populations for wider applicability.
Oração, Amor & Sexo:
Authors: Falcão Carolina 
Published: September 2023

Neste trabalho discuto as negociações político-discursivas da Oração da Felicidade, apresentada durante a última edição da 11ª. temporada de Amor & Sexo (dezembro de 2018), programa de entretenimento da Rede Globo voltado para o debate de questões sobre relacionamento e sexualidade. A Oração, proferida pelo pastor batista Henrique Vieira, mostra como os discursos religiosos podem construir visibilidades distintas no espaço público. Para isso, debato a noção de protagonismo religioso e apresento a oração como um gênero discursivo que se organiza em torno de um pedido. Na oração analisada, percebemos como a felicidade se constrói no enunciado da diversidade, tematizado a partir de questões relevantes tanto ao escopo do programa quanto para a pauta política nacional da época.
La notion de linéaments chez Alberti
Authors: Helali Imen 
Published: September 2023

Si les textes s’éclairent à lumière indirecte de leur contexte et de leur intertexte, le sens propre de leur message n’est saisissable que dans le réseau des paraphrases et des périphrases qu’ils énoncent eux-mêmes ; les textes s’auto-expliquent. Imen Helali interroge la signification du vocable linéaments dans le De re aedificatoria. Prolongeant les discussions terminologiques qu’a suscitées l’usage de ce mot par Alberti, elle propose une lecture systématique et croisée de deux passages du premier livre et du prologue. Produisant des échos loin dans le texte du traité, elle fait entendre la nature à la fois mentale et formelle des linéaments et réfute la thèse de Susan Lang selon laquelle il s’agirait de « plans de sol », d’une représentation graphique des édifices projetés sur un plan horizontal. Confrontant sa lecture à celles des nombreux spécialistes qui se sont penchés sur la question, Imen Helali déplace les lignes d’interprétation du texte d’Alberti et produit quelques avancées notables dans la théorie de l’architecture.
Imen Helali est architecte, diplômée par l’Ecole Nationale d’Architecture et d’Urbanisme (ENAU) de l’Université de Carthage (Tunisie) et détentrice d’un Master de Recherche en Architecture.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe commercial farming of juvenile lumpfish requires monitoring of gonadal development to achieve synchronized production. Conventional methods such as gonadosomatic index (GSI), sex hormone analyses, gonadal histology, endoscopy, and gene expression analyses are costly, invasive, and often involve sacrificing the fish. We assessed the efficiency of ultrasound as a non‐invasive method for monitoring gonadal development in lumpfish. Based on ultrasound observations, we categorized the fish into six stages; F0 to F5 for females and M0 to M5 for males, that represented maturity levels from immature to spent. Importantly, the ultrasound gonadal stages aligned with histological gonadal stages. Additionally, ultrasound stages aligned with profiles of GSI, testosterone (T), 11‐ketotestosterone, and 17β‐estradiol throughout gonadal development including the spawning period. Moreover, these parameters exhibited significant positive correlations with each other reflecting their parallel trends during gonadal development. To minimize the frequency of ultrasound usage and fish handling, we established F3 and M3/M4 as arbitrary thresholds for identifying ripe females and males, respectively. By using these thresholds, the need for regular ultrasound monitoring could be reduced during most of the rearing period. Ultrasound proves to be useful and reliable for monitoring gonadal development in lumpfish, enabling synchronized production of juvenile fish.
Heart rate variability in male rats
Authors: Švorc Pavol , Grešová Soňa , Švorc Pavol 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe cardiovascular system is primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system, and any changes in sympathetic or parasympathetic activity also have an impact on myocardial activity. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a readily available metric used to assess heart rate control by the autonomic nervous system. HRV can provide information about neural (parasympathetic, sympathetic, reflex) and humoral (hormones, thermoregulation) control of myocardial activity. Because there are no relevant reference values for HRV parameters in rats in the scientific literature, all experimental results are only interpreted on the basis of changes from currently measured control or baseline HRV values, which are, however, significantly different in individual studies. Considering the significant variability of published HRV data, the present study focused primarily on comparing control or baseline HRV values under different conditions in in vivo experiments involving rats. The aim of the study was therefore to assess whether there are differences in the starting values before the experiment itself.

Abstract
In this study, Indocalamus micro/nanofibers (IMFs) were extracted from natural Indocalamus leaves by physical processing and alkaline treatment. IMFs reinforced epoxy resin (EP) and their carbon-fiber composites (IMFs/CFRP) were fabricated. The effects of IMF on the mechanical properties of the EP and CFRP composites were studied. Infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the functional groups and microstructure of IMF, EP, and CFRP. The experimental results showed that the strength of the EP increased as the IMF content increased from 0% to 20%, but on further increase in IMF content of 25%, the strength of the EP reduced. In addition, the mechanical properties of the IMF/CFRP were slightly higher as compared with the control CFRP. The SEM observations on IMFs/EP and IMFs/CFRP composites reveal that the alkali-treated IMFs facilitate the interfacial interlocking structure and improve the interfacial adhesion of the composites.

Published: September 2023

AbstractFor a short period during early development of mammalian embryos, both X chromosomes in females are active, before dosage compensation is ensured through X‐chromosome inactivation. In female mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), which carry two active X chromosomes, increased X‐dosage affects cell signaling and impairs differentiation. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain poorly understood. To dissect X‐dosage effects on the signaling network in mESCs, we combine systematic perturbation experiments with mathematical modeling. We quantify the response to a variety of inhibitors and growth factors for cells with one (XO) or two X chromosomes (XX). We then build models of the signaling networks in XX and XO cells through a semi‐quantitative modeling approach based on modular response analysis. We identify a novel negative feedback in the PI3K/AKT pathway through GSK3. Moreover, the presence of a single active X makes mESCs more sensitive to the differentiation‐promoting Activin A signal and leads to a stronger RAF1‐mediated negative feedback in the FGF‐triggered MAPK pathway. The differential response to these differentiation‐promoting pathways can explain the impaired differentiation propensity of female mESCs.

AbstractSeamless integration of the body and electronics toward the understanding, quantification, and control of disease states remains one of the grand scientific challenges of this era. As such, research efforts have been dedicated to developing bioelectronic devices for chemical, mechanical, and electrical sensing, and cellular and tissue functionality modulation. The technologies developed to achieve these capabilities cross a wide range of materials and scale (and dimensionality), e.g., from micrometer to centimeters (from 2-dimensional (2D) to 3-dimensional (3D) assemblies). The integration into multimodal systems which allow greater insight and control into intrinsically multifaceted biological systems requires careful design and selection. This snapshot review will highlight the state-of-the-art in cellular recording and modulation as well as the material considerations for the design and manufacturing of devices integrating their capabilities.

Aim. To conduct a systems analysis of clinical and epidemiological risk factors of bacterial complications associated with liver transplantation, to evaluate the effectiveness of their prevention algorithm.Materials and methods. The authors analyzed the treatment outcomes of 1000 recipients who underwent liver transplantation from April 2008 to April 2023. The study involved analysis of correlation between infections associated with health care and main risk factors, including contamination of different loci and preservation solution.Results. The incidence of healthcare-associated infections accounted for 22.2%. The cumulative incidence of donor organ and recipient contamination was 9.85%. Transmission of infection occurred in 29% of cases. Sepsis developed in 8% of all recipients with healthcare-associated infection. The mortality rate was 70% in cases of sepsis. After liver transplantation, in-hospital mortality was 9.3%. Urgent transplantation was required in 10.7% of observations. Univariate regression analysis shows the highest risk contribution to healthcare-associated infection for the MELD score, contamination of preservation solution with multidrug-resistant flora, severe early graft dysfunction, blood loss, and warm ischemia time.Conclusion. Contamination of preservation solution increases the risk of bacterial complications associated with liver transplantation. The resistance profile affects the development time, structure and outcome of these complications. Timely diagnosis and infection control measures are fundamental to preventing the infectious complications.

Published: September 2023

The paper presents the evolution of views on the surgery of portal hypertension, as well as some historical aspects of its development. The authors considered the main types of surgical interventions to be performed in this pathology. It is noted that in the middle of the 20th century, the direct portacaval anastomosis gained the widest acceptance of all the proposed types of vascular anastomoses. A number of surgeons considered it a classical method of treatment in portal hypertension. Thereafter, the indirect portacaval anastomosis proved to have the best outcomes. The advantage of portacaval anastomoses in comparison with other modifications of surgeries was substantiated by a significant decrease in portal pressure and disappearance of oesophageal varices after developing the anastomosis. Surgical treatment of patients with liver cirrhosis and portal system thrombosis reasonably requires closer attention of doctors in various fields. Such patients should be managed in specialized clinics and well-equipped medical centers.

Aim. To study the influence of infectious complications on the outcomes of orthotopic liver transplantation.Materials and methods. The methodology involved analyzing the outcomes of 159 orthotopic transplantations of full postmortem liver for 2013–2022. Surgical complications were classified according to Clavien-Dindo (2004). Special attention was paid to microbiological examination of biological fluids with determination of the pathogen species and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. Determination of isolated cultures and sensitivity to antibacterial agents was carried out using automatic analyzers. Sensitivity and resistance to antimicrobials were determined according to the recommendations of the European Committee (EUCAST, www.eucast.org).Results. At present, 78 of 141 recipients are alive. After discharge, 42 died of various causes within 4–124 months. In-hospital mortality was 9.9% after primary liver transplantations and 38.9% after retransplantations. Recently, K. pneumoniae (18.8%), E. coli (18.7%), C. albicans (9.7%) have dominated the pathogen spectrum. In microbiological examination, after primary transplantation, pathogens were more often isolated from the wound discharge, after retransplantation – from the biliary system.Conclusion. Infectious complications remain a significant cause of unsatisfactory outcomes of liver transplantation. The greatest negative prognostic role belongs to biliary infection caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens in combination with insufficient arterial blood supply of the transplant.

Aim. To evaluate the immediate and long-term results of two-stage liver resection performed by means of ALPPS technique.Materials and methods. The retrospective analysis involved 7 patients (mean age 62 years) with intact liver parenchyma volume (Future Liver Remnant, FLR) <25%. All patients underwent ALPPS from 2014 to 2021. Both stages of ALPPS were performed in the traditional way. The increment of intact parenchyma on days 6–8 after stage I was evaluated by CT volumetry. The main operative characteristics, incidence of postoperative complications according to Clavien-Dindo and ISGLS, time without progression and life expectancy were analyzed.Results. The median duration of ALPPS stage I was 250 min, median blood loss was 600 ml, and stage II – 210 min and 300 ml, correspondingly. The median FLR before and after ALPPS stage I was 15.3% and 31.6%. The median FLR hypertrophy after ALPPS stage I accounted for 123%. The median interval between stage I and II of ALPPS was 10 days. All patients underwent R0 resection. The incidence of postoperative complications after ALPPS stage I was 14.3% (Clavien–Dindo I), after stage II – 57.1% (Clavien–Dindo III–V). The mortality rate within 90 days after ALPPS stage II accounted for 14.3%. Median follow-up was 25 months. The median time without progression in 6 patients operated for colorectal cancer metastases was 6 months, the median life expectancy was 31 months. The patient who underwent ALPPS for hepatocellular carcinoma is alive, no signs of disease progression have been detected.Conclusion. ALPPS provides a rapid and more than two-fold growth in FLR and increases the likelihood of R0 resection in patients with initially unresectable primary and secondary liver tumors. However, the immediate results of ALPPS are unsatisfactory. The indications for surgery are extremely controversial due to the development of drug therapies, ablation techniques and radiotherapy.
