Abstract
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) battery has been considered to be one of the next generation high energy density rechargeable battery systems due to the high theoretical energy density, low cost and environmental friendliness. However, the commercial application of Li-S battery still faces problems such as sluggish redox kinetics and infamous shuttle effect of sulfur cathode, which result in low sulfur utilization, poor cycle life and unsatisfied rate performance. Herein, we proposed a CoSe2-NC nanoclusters anchored honeycomb-like carbon framework (CoSe2-NC@HCF) as sulfur host aiming to accelerate sulfur conversion and inhibit polysulfides shuttle in Li-S electrochemistry via space-confined growth and in-situ selenization. The obtained CoSe2-NC@HCF provides strong chemical adsorption capability and massive polar cobalt active sites as well as abundant and continuous hierarchical pores supplying adequate sulfur storage space and physical confinement. The S/CoSe2-NC@HCF cathode with sulfur content of 83.24 wt% delivers high sulfur utilization with initial discharge capacity of 1212.9 mAhg-1 at 0.1 C, excellent rate performance with 1094.7 mAh·g–1 at 1C rate, and good cyclability with low capacity decay rate of 0.12% up to 600 cycles.

Authors: Raymond Aislynn , Savidge Samuel , Nezami Nariman , Fang Adam 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background: Castleman disease is a rare, complex lymphoproliferative disorder that is characterized by unicentric or multicentric involvement. Multicentric Castleman disease can be rarely associated with vasculopathy.
Case Presentation: While pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication of arterial access, we present a case of iatrogenic common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm followed by iatrogenic radial artery pseudoaneurysm after obtaining arterial accesses for interventions in a patient with Castleman disease.
Conclusion: Patients with Castleman disease may be at increased risk of developing iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms at arterial access sites. Follow-up ultrasound should be considered after arterial access to assess for pseudoaneurysm formation.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia is a disorder where abnormally lipid concentrations circulate in the bloodstream. The disorder is common in type 2 diabetics (T2D) and is linked with T2D comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia in T2D is typically characterized by elevated plasma triglyceride and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. There is a significant gap in the literature regarding dyslipidemia in rural parts of Africa, where lipid profiles may not be captured through routine surveillance. This study aimed to characterize the prevalence and demo-graphic profile of dyslipidemia in T2D in the rural community of Ganadougou, Mali. We per-formed a cross-sectional study of 104 subjects with T2D in Ganadougou between November 2021 and March 2022. Demographic and lipid profiles were collected through cross-sectional surveys and serological analyses. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia in T2D patients was 87.5% (91/104), which did not differ by sex (p = .368). High low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was the most common lipid abnormality (78.9%, [82/104]). Dyslipidemia was associated with age and hypertension status (p = .013 and p = .036, respectively). High total and high LDL-C parameters were significantly associated with hypertension (p = .029 and p = .006, respectively). In low-resource settings such as rural Mali, there is a critical need to improve infrastructure for routine dyslipidemia screening to guide its prevention and intervention approaches. The high rates of dyslipidemia observed in Gandadougou, consistent with concom-itant increases in cardiovascular diseases in Africa suggest that lipid profile assessments should be incorporated into routine medical care for T2D patients in African rural settings.

The Potential of Pharmacogenetics
Authors: Nazari Hela , ANDERSEN VIBEKE , Andresen Trine 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Given the substantial degree of inter-individual variability in treatment responses in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), treatment optimization is warranted.
We provide an overview of pharmacogenetic variants that can affect the efficacy or toxicity of drugs commonly used for IBD.
We used The Danish Register of Medical Product Statistics to collect information about medical treatment from 2000 – 2020. The most used drugs were Methotrexate, Azathioprine, Mesala-zine and Sulfasalazine. Of these Azathioprine, Mesalazine and Sulfasalazine has pharmaco-genetic recommendation guidelines and/or FDA annotations. About 16.853 Danish individuals (~ 842 individuals each year) are potential carriers of a genetic variant with pharmacogenetic dosing guidelines. Moreover, up to 27.044 Danish individuals (~1352 individuals each year) have potential risk of developing immunogenicity.
This study showed the possibilities of pharmacogenetic testing as a supportive clinical decision tool to optimize treatment and minimize the risk of e.g., serious adverse effects, remission and other serious complications.

Abstract
Background and purpose
It is difficult to provide a complete and accurate assessment of the quality of life of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). The objective was to explore a new evaluation method of the quality of life of patients with myasthenia gravis and investigate it’s influencing factors.
Methods
A single-center cross-sectional analysis was performed on myasthenia gravis patients who received continuous treatment in the Neurology outpatient clinic from January 2020 to September 2022. A self-made questionnaire was used to collect patients’ social demographic and clinical features、economic burden. Myasthenia gravis activities of daily living profile(MG-ADL), the 15-item myasthenia gravis quality of life scale(MG-QOL15), the single simple question(SSQ) -- "How satisfied are you with your quality of life since myasthenia gravis (last 1 month)?" (0–10 points, 0 points represent completely dissatisfied with the quality of life, 10 points represent strongly satisfied with the quality of life, ≥ 8 points are classified as high SSQ, ＜8 points were classified as low SSQ). Correlation analysis was conducted between SSQ and MG-ADL and MG-QOL15, and univariate and multivariate binary logistics were used to analyze the influencing factors of high SSQ.
Results
A total of 99 valid questionnaires were collected in this study. There was a moderate negative correlation between the SSQ and MG-ADL (r=-0.547, P = 0.000) and MG-QOL15 (r=-0.608, P = 0.000). There was also a significant negative correlation between SSQ and physiological subgroup (r=-0.552, P = 0.000), psychological subgroup (r=-0.562, P = 0.000), and social subgroup (r=-0.534, P = 0.000) of MG-QO15. The AUC value of MG-QOL15 was 0.797 (95%CI: 70.38%-89.08%), and the Cut-off value was 6 points (0.794 sensitivity, 0.708 specificity). The AUC value of MG-ADL was 0.783 (95%CI: 68.91%-87.69%), and the Cut-off value was 0 points (0.912 sensitivity, 0.523 specificity). There was statistical significance in the SSQ among groups with different economic burdens (F = 2.988, P = 0.023). logistics regression analysis model showed that the MGFA-PIS and MG-QOL15 were the main influencing factors of SSQ (z= -2.663, OR = 0.294 P = 0.008) (z= -2.948, 0R = 0.935, P = 0.003).
Conclusion
The single simple question -"How satisfied you are with your quality of life since myasthenia gravis (last 1 month)?" is a feasible and effective method to evaluate the quality of life of MG patients, and it can be recommended for routine clinical assessment. The prognosis and economic burden of the disease are important factors influencing the quality of life of patients with myasthenia gravis.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) (MNPs) are hazardous to ecosystems, wildlife, and through seafood, also for human health. Due to biological, chemical, and physical characteristics, NPs can slip through cell membranes, being even more toxicologically important than MPs. Thermal Desorption - Proton Transfer Reaction - Mass Spectrometry (TD-PTR-MS) was used to analyse mussels from the Apulian region, Italy. All the analysed organisms have NPs (values ranging from 10 ng MNPs/ DW mg to 187 ng MNPs / DW mg). The highest mass of plastics was detected in the size groups > 2,2 µm (218 ng MNPs / DW mg) and 20–200 nm (187 ng MNPs / DW mg). An upscaling we performed estimated that people in Europe could ingest more than 2 mg of NPs per year through seafood consumption. The detected presence of nanoplastics in farmed mussels here presented contributes to establishing a baseline for monitoring these pollutants.

Abstract
Autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation is crucial in pediatric cancer treatment, and tandem transplantation is beneficial in certain malignancies. Collecting PBSCs in small children with low body weight is challenging. We retrospectively analyzed data of pediatric cancer patients weighing < 15 kg who underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in our institute. Collections were performed in the pediatric intensive care unit over 2 or 3 consecutive days, to harvest sufficient stem cells(goal: ≥2 × 106 CD34 + cells/kg per apheresis). From April 2006 to August 2021, we performed 129 collections after 50 mobilizations in 40 patients, with a median age of 1.9 (range, 0.6–5.6) years and a body weight of 11.0 (range, 6.6–14.7). The median CD34 + cell collection in each apheresis was 4.2 × 106/kg. 78% of mobilizations achieved cell dose for single transplantation, while 56% for tandem transplantation, without additional aliquoting. Age < 2 years, no radiation exposure, and mobilization with chemotherapy were predictors of goal achievement through multivariate analysis (p < 0.05). PBSC collection in 2 or 3 consecutive days is safe and feasible for pediatric patients weighing < 15 kg. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor alone was not effective for mobilization in children > 2 years, even without radiation exposure.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this article, we first transform the problems of the bounded stability and asymptotical stability of impulsive neutral delay differential equations(INDDEs) into the problems of neutral delay differential equations (NDDEs) without impulsive perturbations, then we further transform them into the problems of ordinary different equations with a forcing term. On this basis, some new sufficient conditions for bounded stability and asymptotical stability of the exact solutions of INDDEs are obtained and the numerical methods for INDDEs are constructed. In these sufficient conditions, the numerical methods which can preserve the bounded stability and asymptotical stability of the exact solutions are provided. And two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Abstract
In order to understand the influence of the lockdown of COVID-19 on the thermal comfort of college students' dormitories, the temperature and humidity inside and outside the dormitories of a university in the severe cold region in spring were tested on site. At the same time, the environmental conditions and students' emotional state in college students' dormitories were investigated in the form of online questionnaires. Taking PMV as the overall evaluation index of thermal comfort, the linear regression equations of MTS and PMV were obtained by weighted regression analysis of MTS, PMV and air temperature. By analyzing the relationship curve between TSV and TCV, it can be seen that the comfort in the thermal environment is higher than that in the cold environment, and students are more inclined to the hot environment. The results of the questionnaire showd that during the period of COVID-19 lockdown, college students stayed in the dormitory for a long time, with little activity intensity, and a few students had irritability. Most students do not fully realize that indoor air quality can be adjusted by adaptive behavior, such as intermittent opening of doors and windows, increasing the opening of doors and windows. The regression equations of indoor residence time, exercise intensity and emotional state with TSV and TCV were fitted, and their effects on TSV and TCV were analyzed. It can be seen that the indoor residence time had no significant effect on TSV and TCV during the lockdown period. Low-intensity activity is conducive to indoor thermal comfort in spring, and human thermal comfort and thermal sensation are the best in a calm emotional state. This study is conducive to improving the thermal environment of college students' dormitories during the lockdown period, improving the comfort of dormitories, and preparing for the isolation of public health emergencies in the future.
Exfoliated carbon nitrides for corrosion prevention in radiators: Temperature-dependent corrosion analysis
Authors: Vasudevan D , Senthilkumar D , Kumaravel A 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article outlines the preparation and exfoliation of graphitic-carbon nitride (GCN) by thermal polymerization technique using urea proceeded by the hydrothermal approach for the application of corrosion resistance in radiators. The prepared sample was characterized by using various methods. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the purity of GCN, and surface morphology results revealed the formation of spherical-shaped GCN. Herein, graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) was synthesized to enhance its corrosion-resistance performance on mild steel (MS) under a seawater atmosphere. The corrosion behavior of the graphitic-carbon nitride (GCN) synthesized by the hydrothermal method was examined by conducting electrochemical corrosion tests in a 3.5% NaCl medium under three different temperatures. The excellent temperature dependant electro-catalytic activity of the prepared GCN was analyzed. The hydrothermal exfoliation process highly enhances the structural, optical, and electrochemical properties like corrosion resistance and stability of the prepared GCN. This study demonstrates that hydrothermally exfoliated GCN exhibits low corrosion rates and high electrochemical corrosion resistance, which could be a potential candidate for corrosion inhibitors in radiators.

Abstract
Most cultivated germplasm pools have a narrow genetic basis of diversity due to domestication bottleneck and selection pressure in modern breeding. The combined genetic bottlenecks limit the potentials of improving traits of high agricultural significance. Crop wild relatives (CWRs) represent a primary source of novel genotypes from where pre-domestication genetic diversity can be restored into modern cultivars. Among the members of the wild Cicer species, C. reticulatum and C. echinospermum are the closest relatives having high cross-compatibility with the cultigen, C. arietinum. A wild x cultigen introgression cross was initiated by mating 20 wild founder parents with farmer-preferred elite cultivars aimed at mining trait-improving alleles from CWRs. Six broad sets of introgression panels were established by involving the 20 founders and three elite cultigens that generated 46 diverse families, and a total of 525 F1 hybrids. Selfing of the F1 progenies produced a total of 3,199 F2 populations. The study revealed significant variation among the founder parents and their derivative progeny for basic plant growth, vigor and architecture traits. A noticeable proportion of the introgression progeny outperformed both parents for yield-attributable traits, suggesting high breeding value of CWRs that resulted in positive allelic recombination. Of the 20 founder parents, 9 were identified as genetically superior for desirable and heritable traits. The study uncovers the genetic power of chickpea’s CWRs in preserving wide-ranging allelic variants vital for harnessing resilience traits. The introgression breeding initiatives reported here generated diverse pre-breeding populations as immortalized genetic resources ideal for future genetic studies.

Abstract
In the article, a broadband rectenna is proposed that can harvest energy from low input power levels. A broadband rectenna is designed that can operate between 1.4 GHz and 2.8 GHz with a bandwidth of 1.4 GHz. The proposed rectenna covers two important bands, i.e., GSM 1800 MHz and ISM 2450 MHz. The antenna consists of an antenna and a rectifier. A hexagonal patch antenna is designed with a defective ground structure that can operate from 1.4 GHz to 2.8 GHz. For rectification purposes, the HSMS2850 Schottky diode is used. To achieve good conversion efficiency, a matching circuit (a combination of bandpass and high-pass section) is designed. Maximum simulated conversion efficiencies achieved at 1.8 GHz with a load resistance of 1.3 kΩ are 21%, 36.3%, 51.2%, 63.7%, and 73.4% at power levels of -20 dBm, -15 dBm, -10 dBm, -5 dBm, and 0 dBm, respectively. Simulated conversion efficiency achieved at 2.45 GHz with a load resistance of 2 kΩ is 22.5%, 35%, 46%, 57.2%, and 68.5% at power levels of -20 dBm, -15 dBm, -10 dBm, -5 dBm, and 0 dBm, respectively. With an optimum load of 2 kΩ and IPLs of -20 dBm, -15 dBm, -10 dBm, -5 dBm, and 0 dBm, the measured conversion efficiencies at 1.8 GHz are 22%, 36%, 51.5%, 65%, and 66.4%, respectively, and at 2.45 GHz they are 22%, 36%, 46%, 57%, and 67%, respectively.

AbstractContextChronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) is a major public health. Numerous studies have evaluated the contribution of posturology in the assessment and the rehabilitation of this pathology. The aim of our work was to investigate the relationship between posturological and muscular assessments in patients with CNLBP.MethodsIt’s about an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. The muscle assessment included Quadriceps Femoris flexibility using the heel-to-buttock distance and Hamstrings flexibility using the popliteal angle. Isometric muscle strength of the extensor and flexor muscles of the trunk was assessed by the Biering-Sorensen test and the Shirado test, respectively. The evaluation of static postural control was performed by the SATEL® force platform in two conditions (opened eyes/closed mouth) and (closed eyes/closed mouth). The chi-square test or Fisher's exact test was used to assess differences between categorical variables, and means were compared using Pearson's or Spearman's correlation tests depending on the distribution of the variables. Comparison between qualitative and quantitative variables was done by ANOVA test for normally distributed variables and Mann-Whitney or Kruskall-Wallis tests for non-normally distributed data.ResultsForty patients were included. The study of muscle flexibility according to force plateform parameters showed that left Hamstring stiffness was significantly correlated with XY (p = .037) and with instability in the sagittal plane (p = .036). On the other hand, the stiffness of the anterior rectus muscles (right and/or left) was significantly correlated with XY (p = 0.019 for the right muscle and 0.011 for the left muscle) and with postural instability in the frontal plane (p = .015 for the right muscle and .026 for the left muscle). We also founded a significant association between the increase in Romberg quotient and right Hamstring stiffness (p = .003).ConclusionsOur study as well as literature findings suggest that the Quadriceps Femoris and the Hamstrings play have a significant role in core stability of patients with chronic non-specific back pain. A larger number of patients and a control group would have made it possible to establish a cause- effect relationship between Quadriceps Femoris, Hamstrings and static postural control abnormalities.
