Published: January 2023

BackgroundThe incidence of magnet ingestion by children has recently increased in China. Magnet ingestion is associated with an extremely high risk of gastrointestinal damage because loops of bowel can become trapped and squeezed between multiple magnets in different locations. However, the lack of imaging sensitivity makes clinical decision-making difficult.ObjectiveThis study was conducted to investigate the performance of ultrasound in diagnosing gastrointestinal magnet ingestion in children.MethodsFrom April 2017 to February 2021, all children with a history of magnet ingestion or a diagnosis of gastrointestinal magnet as shown by x-ray or ultrasound in our hospital were included as study candidates. Patients who were lost to follow-up or had known malformations of the gastrointestinal tract were excluded. Eligible patients were those with surgical or endoscopic confirmation of gastrointestinal magnet, those who passed the magnet out of the alimentary tract without assistance, and those with confirmed absence of the magnet on abdominal x-ray examination after 1 month of conservative treatment. All eligible patients' ultrasound and x-ray examination data were evaluated. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of ultrasound was calculated for diagnosing magnet ingestion, locating the magnet (stomach, small intestine, or colon), and confirming the phenomenon of wall entrapment.ResultsOf 112 patients, 107 had a magnetic foreign body and 5 did not. Magnets were correctly detected by ultrasound in 97 patients, with an observed sensitivity of 90.65% and specificity of 100%. Satisfactory sensitivity was obtained for ultrasound localization of gastric magnets (96.30%) and small intestinal magnets (100.00%), but sensitivity for ultrasound localization of colonic magnets was relatively poor (73.33%). The discrimination of wall entrapment by ultrasound was good (AUC = 0.93), with an observed sensitivity and specificity of 92.00% and 93.62%, respectively.ConclusionsUltrasound can be used to locate gastrointestinal magnets (in the stomach, small intestine, or colon) with good clinical efficacy in identifying wall entrapment.

Background: The parabrachial nucleus (PBN) is an important structure regulating the sleep–wake behavior and general anesthesia. Astrocytes in the central nervous system modulate neuronal activity and consequential behavior. However, the specific role of the parabrachial nucleus astrocytes in regulating the sleep-wake behavior and general anesthesia remains unclear.Methods: We used chemogenetic approach to activate or inhibit the activity of PBN astrocytes by injecting AAV-GFAabc1d-hM3Dq-eGFP or AAV-GFAabc1d-hM4Di-eGFP into the PBN. We investigated the effects of intraperitoneal injection of CNO or vehicle on the amount of wakefulness, NREM sleep and REM sleep in sleep–wake behavior, and on the time of loss of righting reflex, time of recovery of righting reflex, sensitivity to isoflurane, electroencephalogram (EEG) power spectrum and burst suppression ratio (BSR) in isoflurane anesthesia.Results: The activation of PBN astrocytes increased wakefulness amount for 4 h, while the inhibition of PBN astrocytes decreased total amount of wakefulness during the 3-hour post-injection period. Chemogenetic activation of PBN astrocytes decreased isoflurane sensitivity and shortened the emergence time from isoflurane-induced general anesthesia. Cortical EEG recordings revealed that PBN astrocyte activation decreased the EEG delta power and BSR during isoflurane anesthesia. Chemogenetic Inhibition of PBN astrocytes increased the EEG delta power and BSR during isoflurane anesthesia.Conclusion: PBN astrocytes are a key neural substrate regulating wakefulness and emergence from isoflurane anesthesia.

Published: January 2023

IntroductionThe fifth wave of COVID-19 has significantly overburdened the health care system in Hong Kong. Health care professionals, particularly nurses continue to experience significant levels of psychological distress when tackling this ongoing outbreak. Yet, no study has explored the psychological experiences of nurses during the most recent outbreak of the highly transmissible Omicron variant in Hong Kong. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the psychological distress experienced by nurses during the fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong.MethodsTwenty-two nurses (14 female and 8 male nurses; average age, 36.7 ± 8.5 years) were recruited to attend the one-to-one semi-structured telephone interviews from June to July, 2022. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsFour main themes emerged from the interview: (1) Intense fear, worry, and anxiety; (2) Feeling worn out and psychologically distress; (3) Impact on psychosocial and physical health; and (4) Limited options to cope with psychological distress during the difficult times.DiscussionOur study findings may provide concerned stakeholders with useful insights into reducing the psychological distress experienced by nurses in Hong Kong. Offering psychological support is of paramount importance to address the unmet psychological needs of nurses and reduce their psychological distress during the pandemic, particularly when they are working under high levels of workplace stress.

Published: January 2023

BackgroundThe existing literature has repeatedly assessed the association between sugar-sweetened beverages and depressive symptoms, but studies of the association of total dietary sugar with depressive symptoms and of this association in obese adults are scarce. Thus, the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the association between total sugar consumption and depressive symptoms in the study population and then in the population stratified by body mass index.MethodsThis study was conducted in a nationally representative sample of 16,009 adults from the 2011–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the US. Total sugar intake was assessed by 24 h dietary recalls, and depressive symptoms were assessed by the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between total sugar consumption and depressive symptoms.ResultsTotal sugar intake was positively associated with higher prevalence of depressive symptoms, and the adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of depressive symptoms for the highest vs. lowest quintile of total sugar intake was 1.56 (1.18, 2.05). In stratified analysis, we found a positive association between total sugar intake and depressive symptoms in adults with body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 (P for trend = 0.013), whereas no association was found in normal weight or overweight adults.ConclusionsA higher intake of total sugar was associated with increased odds of clinically relevant depressive symptoms among obese adults. Further studies are necessary to confirm the role of total sugar in depressive symptoms among obese adults.

AimThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the graded transport mode in the intrahospital transport (IHT) of critically ill patients.MethodsThis is a retrospective study, including 800 patients and categorized them into control and observation groups. The control group included 420 critically ill patients who were transported via conventional methods from our emergency resuscitation unit from June 2017 to December 2017. The observation group included 380 critically ill patients who were transported through a graded transport mode from January 2018 to June 2018. We performed intergroup comparisons of the incidence rates and causes of adverse events (AEs), transport time, length of stay, and mortality rate.ResultsThe observation group had significantly lower transport time and AE incidence rates than the control group. However, no significant differences were observed in terms of the length of stay and mortality rate between the two groups.ConclusionThe most notable merits of the graded transport mode in the IHT of critical care patients include the fact that it significantly reduces the incidence of AEs during IHT, shortens the transport time, and improves transport efficiency, thereby ensuring the safety of critically ill patients.
Methane emissions from California dairies estimated using novel climate metric Global Warming Potential Star show improved agreement with modeled warming dynamics
Authors: Pressman Eleanor M. , Liu Shule , Mitloehner Frank M. 
Published: January 2023

IntroductionCarbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) are two of the primary greenhouse gases (GHG) responsible for global warming. The “stock gas” CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere even if rates of CO2 emission decline. In contrast, the “flow gas” CH4 has an e-folding time of about 12 years and is removed from the atmosphere in a relatively short period of time. The climate impacts of cumulative pollutants such as CO2 and short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) such as CH4 are often compared using Global Warming Potential (GWP), a metric that converts non-CO2 GHG into CO2-equivalent emissions. However, GWP has been criticized for overestimating the heating effects of declining SLCP emissions and conversely underestimating the heating impact of increasing SLCP emissions. Accurate quantification of the temperature effects of different CH4 emissions scenarios is particularly important to fully understanding the climate impacts of animal agriculture, whose GHG emissions are dominated by CH4.MethodsA modified GWP metric known as Global Warming Potential Star (GWP*) has been developed to directly quantify the relationship between SLCP emissions and temperature change, which GWP cannot do. In this California dairy sector case study, we contrasted GWP- versus GWP*-based estimates of historical warming dynamics of enteric and manure CH4 from lactating dairy cattle. We predicted future dairy CH4 emissions under business-as-usual and reduction scenarios and modeled the warming effects of these various emission scenarios.ResultsWe found that average CO2 warming equivalent emissions given by GWP* were greater than those given by GWP under increasing annual CH4 emissions rates, but were lower under decreasing CH4 emissions rates. We also found that cumulative CO2 warming equivalent emissions given by GWP* matched modeled warming driven by decreasing CH4 emissions more accurately than those given by GWP.DiscussionThese results suggest that GWP* may provide a more accurate tool for quantifying SLCP emissions in temperature goal and emissions reduction-specific policy contexts.

Published: January 2023

IntroductionMaize is a major staple cereal crop grown and consumed globally. However, due to climate change, extreme heat and drought stresses are greatly affecting its production especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of a bio-based approach to mitigate drought stress is therefore suggested using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).MethodsThis study investigated the abilities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase producing PGPR Pseudomonas sp. MRBP4, Pseudomonas sp. MRBP13 and Bacillus sp. MRBP10 isolated from maize rhizosphere soil, to ameliorate the effect of drought stress in maize genotypes MR44 and S0/8/W/I137TNW//CML550 under two water regimes; mild drought stress (50% FC) and well-watered conditions (100% FC). The rhizobacterial strains were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and biochemical tests, and evaluated for plant growth-promoting and abiotic stress tolerance traits.Results and discussionThe synergistic effect of the bacterial strains had a highly significant (p &lt; 0.001) effect on the total soluble sugar, soil moisture content and relative water content, which were enhanced under water-stress in the inoculated plants. Relative water content was significantly highest (p &lt; 0.001) in maize plants co-inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. MRBP4 + Bacillus sp. MRBP10 (60.55%). Total chlorophyll content was significantly enhanced in maize seedlings sole inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. MRBP4, Pseudomonas sp. MRBP13, and co-inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. MRBP13 + Bacillus sp. MRBP10 by 15.91%, 14.99% and 15.75% respectively, over the un-inoculated control. Soil moisture content increased by 28.67% and 30.71% compared to the un-inoculated control when plants were inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. MRBP4 + Bacillus sp. MRBP10 and Pseudomonas sp. MRBP4 + Bacillus sp. MRBP10 respectively. The interactive effect of genotype × bacteria significantly enhanced biomass production. Leaf area was highest in maize plants co-inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. MRBP4 + Pseudomonas sp. MRBP13 (212.45 ± 0.87 cm2) under drought stress. Treatment of maize seeds with Pseudomonas sp. MRBP 4 + Pseudomonas sp. MRBP13 + Bacillus sp. MRBP10 significantly increased the root length (10.32 ± 0.48 cm) which enhanced survival of the maize seedlings. Bioinoculation of maize seeds with these strains could boost maize production cultivated in arid regions.

Published: January 2023

BackgroundMetastatic bladder cancer (MBC) is an incurable malignancy, which is prone to early death. We aimed to establish models to evaluating the risk of early death in patients with metastatic bladder cancerMethodsThe data of 1,264 patients with MBC registered from 2010 to 2015 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We utilized X-tile software to determine the optimal cut-off points of age and tumor size in diagnosis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify significant independent risk factors for total early death and cancer-specific early death, then we construct two practical nomograms. In order to validate our prediction models, we performed calibration plots, receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) curves, decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve (CIC).ResultA total of 1,216 patients with MBC were included in this study. 463 patients died prematurely (≤3 months), and among them 424 patients died of cancer-specific early death. The nomogram of total premature death was created by surgery, chemotherapy, tumor size, histological type, liver metastases, and nomogram of cancer-specific early death was based on surgery, race, tumor size, histological type, chemotherapy, and metastases (liver, brain). Through the verify of calibration plots, receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) curves, decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve (CIC), we concluded that nomogram were a valid tool with excellent clinical utility to help clinicians predict premature death in MBC patients.ConclusionsThe nomograms derived from the analysis of patients with MBC, which can provide refined prediction of premature death and furnish clinicians with useful ideas for patient-specific treatment options and follow-up scheduling.

Published: January 2023

IntroductionSurgical site infections (SSI) increase morbidity, increase treatment costs, and can delay onset of necessary adjunctive therapy. The goal of this retrospective study was to determine the incidence of and risk factors of SSI after enucleation in dogs.MethodsMedical records were searched at one veterinary teaching hospital and identified 280 dogs that underwent enucleation and had an adequate follow-up to assess SSI. Multiple preoperative (e.g., reason for enucleation), peri-operative (e.g., surgical approach and surgeon experience level), and post-operative (e.g., use of post-operative antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications) variables were assessed as risk factors for development of SSI.ResultsThe incidence of SSI after enucleation was 5%, and no risk factors for SSI were identified. Dogs that received cephalexin as a prophylactic post-operative antibiotic were statistically more likely to develop SSI versus those that received a different post-operative antibiotic (p = 0.045). However, the clinical significance of this finding is unclear as administration of prophylactic post-operative antibiotics overall did not reduce the risk of SSI in the population evaluated here.DiscussionNo risk factors were identified to guide clinical decision-making for prevention of SSI. Additionally, the results do not support the use of prophylactic antibiotics after enucleation in dogs.
Active Optics—Progress in Modeling of Tulip-like Variable Curvature Mirrors
Authors: Lemaitre Gerard R. , Vola Pascal , Lanzoni Patrick 
Published: January 2023

We present new results obtained from the modeling of a tulip-like variable curvature mirror (VCM) in the case of a central force that reacts to its contour. From Nastran finite element analysis, we shows that 3-D optimizations, using non-linear static flexural option, with an appropriate solution sequence, provide an accurate tulip-like VCM thickness distribution. This allows us to take into account boundary conditions, including the thin outer collarette and its link to a rigid ring. Modeling with a quenched stainless steel chromium substrate provides diffraction-limited optical surfaces. Rayleigh’s quarter-wave criterion is performed over a zoom range from flat up to f/3.5 convexity over a 13 mm clear aperture and 10 daN central force. The optical testing results of a prototype tulip-like VCM elaborated from the previous analytic theory, show quasi-diffraction-limited figures for a zoom range up to f/5. The present modeling results should significantly help in the future construction of such VCMs with a zoom range extended up to f/3.5.
