AbstractObjectiveResearch on muscularity‐oriented disordered eating has grown in recent years. However, the bulk of this research has focused on men and Western populations. Limited research is available in non‐Western populations of women (e.g., China) which is likely due to the lack of valid instruments in these populations. Thus, the current study aimed to describe the validity and reliability of the Muscularity‐Oriented Eating Test (MOET) in Chinese women.MethodTwo online surveys (survey one: n = 599, Mage = 29.49, SD = 7.36; survey two: n = 201, Mage = 28.42, SD = 7.76) were conducted to explore the psychometric properties of the MOET in Chinese women. In survey one, the factor structure of the MOET was examined via exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA and CFA). Internal consistency reliability and convergent and incremental validity of the MOET were also assessed. In survey two, test–retest reliability across a 2‐week interval was examined.ResultsEFA and CFA provided support for the unidimensional factor structure of the MOET in Chinese adult women. The MOET presented good internal consistency and test–retest reliability and convergent validity via large, positive associations with theoretically related constructs (e.g., thinness‐oriented disordered eating, drive for muscularity, and psychosocial impairment). Finally, muscularity‐oriented disordered eating described unique variance in psychosocial impairment, providing support for the incremental validity of the MOET.DiscussionThe sound psychometric structure of the MOET was supported in Chinese women. Continued research is needed to describe muscularity‐oriented disordered eating in Chinese women to contribute to this significant gap in the literature.Public SignificanceThe Muscularity‐Oriented Eating Test (MOET) is a measure specifically developed for assessing muscularity‐oriented disordered eating. This study examined the validity and reliability of the MOET in Chinese women. The results showed that the MOET had sound validity and reliability in Chinese women. Thus, the MOET is a valuable tool for advancing the understanding of the muscularity‐oriented disordered eating of women from the Chinese context.

AbstractLeaf surface characteristics are the key to determine the water storage capacity of tree canopy and then determine the water interception capacity of the entire stands. We selected 10 common tree species in Qingdao, China, as experimental materials to determine the relationship between the leaf water storage capacity and the microstructure of leaf surfaces. The results revealed that water storage capacity varied from 110.16 to 181.35 g·m−2 on tree branch surfaces and 122.58 to 193.24 g·m−2 on leaf surfaces in these species. Prunus serrulata with the highest leaf storage capacity had low wettability and high roughness, while Platanus acerifolia with the lowest leaf storage capacity had high wettability and low roughness. Among them, leaf roughness played an important role in work‐of‐adhesion for rainfall. With an increasing roughness, the raindrops increasingly adhered to the leaf surface, and leaf water storage capacity increased. Thus, the effects of leaf surface properties on hydrological processes cannot be ignored, and this study is of great significance for demonstrating their impacts on water storage capacity and further promoting sponge city construction by using trees.

Published: March 2023

Although Zn metal has been regarded as the most promising anode for aqueous batteries, its practical application is still restricted by side reactions and dendrite growth. Herein, an in‐situ solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film formed on the interface of electrode/electrolyte during the plating/stripping of zinc anodes by introducing trace amounts of multidentate ligand sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) additive into 1 m ZnSO4. The synergistic effect of in‐situ solid electrolyte interphase forming and chelate effect endows Zn2+ with uniform and rapid interface‐diffusion kinetics against dendrite growth and surface side reactions. As a result, the Zn anode in 1 m ZnSO4 + DDTC electrolytes displays an ultra‐high coulombic efficiency of 99.5% and cycling stability (more than 2000 h), especially at high current density (more than 600 cycles at 40 mA cm−2). Moreover, the Zn//MnO2 full cells in the ZnSO4 + DDTC electrolyte exhibit outstanding cyclic stability (with 98.6% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 10 C). This electrode/electrolyte interfacial chemistry modulated strategy provides new insight into enhancing zinc anode stability for high‐performance aqueous zinc batteries.

AbstractAimsThis study aimed to evaluate the cumulative high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTNT) from admission to 12 months after discharge and its association with mortality after 12 months among patients with acute heart failure (HF).MethodsWe used data from the China Patient‐Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Prospective Heart Failure Study (China PEACE 5p‐HF Study), which enrolled patients hospitalized primarily for HF from 52 hospitals between 2016 and 2018. We included patients who survived within 12 months and had hs‐cTNT data at admission (within 48 h of admission) and 1 and 12 months after discharge. To evaluate the long‐term cumulative hs‐cTNT, we calculated cumulative hs‐cTNT levels and cumulative times of high hs‐cTNT level. Patients were divided into groups according to the quartiles of cumulative hs‐cTNT levels (Quartiles 1–4) and cumulative times of high hs‐cTNT levels (0–3 times). Multivariable Cox models were constructed to examine the association of cumulative hs‐cTNT with mortality during the follow‐up period.ResultsWe included 1137 patients with a median age of 64 [interquartile range (IQR), 54–73] years; 406 (35.7%) were female. The median cumulative hs‐cTNT level was 150 (IQR, 91–241) ng/L*month. Based on the cumulative times of high hs‐cTNT levels, 404 (35.5%) patients were with zero time, 203 (17.9%) with one time, 174 (15.3%) with two times, and 356 (31.3%) with three times. During a median follow‐up of 4.76 (IQR, 4.25–5.07) years, 303 (26.6%) all‐cause deaths occurred. The increasing cumulative hs‐cTNT level and cumulative times of high hs‐cTNT level were independently associated with excess all‐cause mortality. Compared with Quartile 1 group, Quartile 4 had the highest hazard ratio (HR) of all‐cause mortality [4.14; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.51–6.85], followed by Quartile 3 (HR: 3.35; 95% CI: 2.05–5.48) and Quartile 2 (HR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.49–4.08) groups. Similarly, taking the patients with zero time of high hs‐cTNT level as the reference, the HRs were 1.60 (95% CI: 1.05–2.45), 2.61 (95% CI: 1.76–3.87), and 2.86 (95% CI: 1.98–4.14) in patients who had one, two, and three times of high hs‐cTNT level, respectively.ConclusionsElevated cumulative hs‐cTNT from admission to 12 months after discharge was independently associated with mortality after 12 months among patients with acute HF. Repeated measurements of hs‐cTNT after discharge may help monitor the cardiac damage and identify patients with high risk of death.

AbstractEnvironmental issues and the depletion of fossil fuel resources cause increased demand for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle consists of two main components: a propulsion system and a battery charger. The design of an efficient, fast and economical charger is key to its success. Therefore, this paper presents a novel design of a dual active bridge‐based bidirectional converter with logical control for an electric vehicle application. The logical control of the converter enables the power flow between the grid and the electric vehicle and vice versa. The power flow is based on the single‐phase shift method. The converter selects the mode of operation based on the battery's state of charge and the user command using a binary switch. The power requirement influences the design of the circuit's parameters of the electric vehicle battery. A 50 V, 100 Ah, and 5 kW Li‐ion battery and AC power source of 230 V, 50 Hz are used in the simulation work. The circuit performance is verified in the SIMULINK/MATLAB environment. The analysis of the converter gives better control for various state‐of‐charge levels of electric vehicle batteries.

The Permian–Triassic boundary (PTB) volcanic tuffs are widely distributed in the East Palaeo‐Tethys region, but their age and origin have been controversial. The Permian–Triassic deep‐water sediments in the northeastern margin of South China are favourable research objects, and we report new results from the PTB deep basin sediments in the Susong area, Anhui Province, in this paper. Two volcanic tuffs are found in the Zuoshan PTB in the Zuoshan section, and Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) U–Pb zircon dating indicates that the upper and lower tuffs are 251.3 ± 1.7 Ma and 252.3 ± 2.1 Ma, respectively. The PTB age is 251.6 Ma according to a numerical interpolation method of the average deposition rate of the PTB. Fusulinids and non‐fusulinid foraminifers in the limestone overlying the lower tuff define the rock as end‐Permian. Zircon trace elements show that both tuffs are sourced from felsic volcanism in continental arc background, and their source magmas were derived from the continental crust. Zircons of PTB age from the upper tuff on the bottom of the Triassic have negative εHf(t) value from −8.02 to −3.75, and the Palaeo‐Mesoproterozoic two‐stage model ages of 1502–1780 Ma, showing that their source rocks were only derived from the remelting of the Palaeo‐Mesoproterozoic continental crust. The zircons from the lower tuff on the top of the Permian show two types, including negative εHf(t) values from −6.48 to −1.25 and Palaeo‐Mesoproterozoic two‐stage model ages of 1350–1679 Ma, and positive εHf(t) values from +3.98 to +10.15, and Neoproterozoic two‐stage model ages of 629–1023 Ma, indicating that their sources were derived from the reworking of the Palaeo‐Mesoproterozoic continental crust and early Neoproterozoic depleted mantle joined in juvenile crust growth in the northern margin of the South China Block at the beginning of the collision between the South China and North China blocks. The initial collision started no later than 252.3 Ma and developed significantly from east to west.

AbstractTyphoons produce a large amount of rainfall with a highly depleted isotopic composition. However, the mechanisms of isotope fractionation during typhoons remain poorly understood. Here, we present the hourly resolution isotope composition of rainfall during Typhoon Lupit (2021) in Fuzhou, on the southeast coast of China, to better understand these processes. Our results showed that the rainfall of Typhoon Lupit had significant fluctuations in δ18O values, ranging from −20.1‰ to −6.3‰, and exhibited a three‐stage variation with distinctly negative δ18O values in the second stage. In the first stage of Lupit, water vapour originated primarily from the nearby sea area, which did not undergo sustained convective activity, resulting in relatively enriched δ18O values. In the second stage, the δ18O values were extremely negative mainly because of the accumulated convective activity and continuous precipitation as they travelled towards the centre of the typhoon. In the third stage, the mixing of more localized and nearby sea water vapour caused an increase in the δ18O values. In summary, the three‐stage characteristics of Typhoon Lupit were largely caused by the integration of accumulated convective activity and moisture sources. Our findings reveal how upstream rainout affects the isotopic behaviour of rainfall and may have implications for understanding the dynamics of typhoon rainfall isotopes.

Abstract
Climate change can be mitigated and policies can be catalyzed with the aid of financial institutions. By maintaining and strengthening financial stability, the financial sector's resilience could help mitigate climate-related risks and uncertainties. Hence, an empirical investigation on the effect of financial stability on consumption-based CO2 emissions (CCO2E) in Denmark is long overdue. This study investigates the financial risk-emissions relationship in the presence of energy productivity, energy consumption, and economic growth in Denmark. Furthermore, by adopting an asymmetric approach to analyze the time series data for the period between 1995 and 2018, this study helps bridge this major gap in the literature. By adopting the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag approach (NARDL), we discovered that the positive variation in financial stability causes a reduction in CCO2E, but the neutral connection was reported between the negative shock in financial stability and CCO2E. The positive shock in economic growth and energy consumption intensifies CCO2E; however, a neutral interaction exists between the negative shock in economic growth and CCO2E. The negative shock in energy consumption has a positive effect on CCO2E, indicating a mitigating implication on environmental degradation. In addition, a positive shock in energy productivity enhances environmental quality, while a negative shock in energy productivity increases environmental degradation. In light of the results, we suggest some robust policies for Denmark and other smaller but wealthy nations. Moreover, in order to develop sustainable finance markets, policymakers in Denmark need to mobilize both public and private finance while maintaining a balance with other economic needs of the nation. The country must also identify and understand potential avenues for scaling up private financing for mitigating climate risk. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2023;19:1485–1494. © 2023 SETAC

AbstractIntroductionBladder paraganglioma is exceedingly rare, accounting for <0.05% of bladder tumors. This is a case of paraganglioma with no symptom other than palpitations during urination, with atypical imaging, resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor.Case presentationA 46‐year‐old man underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor for a bladder tumor 61 × 52 mm in size on contrast‐enhanced computed tomography. The patient only had micturition attacks and was suspected to have urothelial carcinoma on magnetic resonance imaging. The patient had acute respiratory distress syndrome after the operation which improved conservatively. The 123Iodine metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy, urinalysis, and pathological examination revealed bladder paraganglioma. Robot‐assisted radical cystectomy and ileal neobladder reconstruction were performed.ConclusionThis study reported bladder paraganglioma with no symptoms other than micturition attacks in which acute respiratory distress syndrome occurred after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor.

IntroductionMetastatic ureteral tumors are difficult to diagnose pathologically. Treatment is only available for the primary disease, and prognosis is generally poor.Case presentationA 63‐year‐old patient with a history of gastric cancer presented with asymptomatic right‐sided hydronephrosis. Ureteroscopic examination revealed tissue in the ureter consistent with gastric cancer. The lesion was localized, and the patient was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy as part of a multidisciplinary treatment. The prognosis was better than in other reports. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient with metastatic gastric cancer who received multidisciplinary treatment including radiotherapy and had a good prognosis.ConclusionIn cases where a localized metastatic ureteral tumor cannot be ruled out, ureteroscopy is an effective therapeutic strategy.

AbstractThe prevalence of allergic diseases is constantly increasing since few decades. Anthropogenic ultrafine particles (UFPs) and allergenic aerosols is highly involved in this increase; however, the underlying cellular mechanisms are not yet understood. Studies observing these effects focused mainly on singular in vivo or in vitro exposures of single particle sources, while there is only limited evidence on their subsequent or combined effects. Our study aimed at evaluating the effect of subsequent exposures to allergy‐related anthropogenic and biogenic aerosols on cellular mechanism exposed at air–liquid interface (ALI) conditions. Bronchial epithelial BEAS‐2B cells were exposed to UFP‐rich combustion aerosols for 2 h with or without allergen pre‐exposure to birch pollen extract (BPE) or house dust mite extract (HDME). The physicochemical properties of the generated particles were characterized by state‐of‐the‐art analytical instrumentation. We evaluated the cellular response in terms of cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and in‐depth gene expression profiling. We observed that single exposures with UFP, BPE, and HDME cause genotoxicity. Exposure to UFP induced pro‐inflammatory canonical pathways, shifting to a more xenobiotic‐related response with longer preincubation time. With additional allergen exposure, the modulation of pro‐inflammatory and xenobiotic signaling was more pronounced and appeared faster. Moreover, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling activation showed to be an important feature of UFP toxicity, which was especially pronounced upon pre‐exposure. In summary, we were able to demonstrate the importance of subsequent exposure studies to understand realistic exposure situations and to identify possible adjuvant allergic effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

AbstractThe development of fast, cheap and reliable methods to determine seroconversion against infectious agents is of great practical importance. In the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic, an important issue is to study the rate of formation of the immune layer in the population of different regions, as well as the study of the formation of post‐vaccination immunity in individuals after vaccination. Currently, the main method for this kind of research is enzyme immunoassay (ELISA, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay). This technique is sufficiently sensitive and specific, but it requires significant time and material costs. We investigated the applicability of attenuated total reflection (ATR) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy associated with machine learning in blood plasma to detect seroconversion against SARS‐CoV‐2. The study included samples of 60 patients. Clear spectral differences in plasma samples from recovered COVID‐19 patients and conditionally healthy donors were identified using multivariate and statistical analysis. The results showed that ATR‐FTIR spectroscopy, combined with principal components analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) or artificial neural network (ANN), made it possible to efficiently identify specimens from recovered COVID‐19 patients. We built classification models based on PCA associated with LDA and ANN. Our analysis led to 87% accuracy for PCA‐LDA model and 91% accuracy for ANN, respectively. Based on this proof‐of‐concept study, we believe this method could offer a simple, label‐free, cost‐effective tool for detecting seroconversion against SARS‐CoV‐2. This approach could be used as an alternative to ELISA.
