Published: December 2022

IntroductionSolitary metachronous small bowel metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare. In contrast to idiopathic intussusception frequently occurring in children, adult intussusception is fairly uncommon and usually indicates a malignancy.Case presentationWe presented an 84-year-old man with small bowel intussusception and obstruction due to a solitary metachronous metastasis from RCC. Computed tomography with intravenous contrast revealed small bowel obstruction and a 4 × 4 cm intraluminal soft-tissue mass with moderate enhancement. During urgent exploratory laparotomy, a pedunculated tumor of the distal ileum was found to be the lead point of intussusception. Hence, reduction of the intestinal invagination and segmental resection of the ileum with functional end-to-end anastomosis were performed. Histological examination finally confirmed the diagnosis. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient was discharged without any complications on postoperative day 6.ConclusionThe case report highlights the rarity of solitary metachronous small bowel metastases from RCC and suggests that life-long follow-up of RCC patients is critical due to its unpredictable behavior and the possibility of a long period of dormancy. Complete surgical resection remains the mainstay treatment for such patients.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common mental health problem after cerebrovascular accidents. There are several treatments that have been shown to be effective in treating post-stroke depression. However, it is not clear which treatment is more effective.Methods: In this meta-analysis, an appropriate search strategy was used to search eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on different treatments to treat patients with Post-stroke depression published up to December 2021 from the CNKI, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. We assessed the mean difference or odds ratio between each treatment and placebo and summarized them as the average and 95% confidence interval (CI) by conducting Bayesian network meta-analyses.Results: By constructing a Bayesian network meta-analysis, we found that acupuncture combined with fluoxetine (vs placebo MD, −8.9; 95% CI, [−15, −2.9]) or paroxetine (vs placebo MD,—8.5; 95% CI, [−15, −2.5]) was the most effective for change in Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) at the end of the 4th week. For change in Hamilton depression scale at the end of the 8th week, rTMS combined with paroxetine (vs placebo MD, −13; 95% CI, [−17, −7.9]) had the greatest amount of change. The efficacy of medication combined with adjuvant therapy was also superior for the percentage of patients with Hamilton depression scale change over 50%.Discussion: The combination of antidepressants with adjuvant therapy may enhance the efficacy of antidepressants and achieve better results than antidepressant monotherapy in both Hamilton depression scale changes at the end of week 4 or 8 and 50% Hamilton depression scale improvement rate. Acupuncture combined with fluoxetine treatment was more effective in the treatment of post-stroke depression at week 4, while rTMS combined with paroxetine was more effective at week 8. Further research is needed to determine whether acupuncture combined with fluoxetine is better than rTMS combined with paroxetine for post-stroke depression at week 8.

Published: December 2022

ObjectiveThe present article introduces the German translation of the Inflexible Eating Questionnaire (IEQ-G), performs a psychometric evaluation, and explores the relationship of Inflexible Eating to the subscales of the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and Obsessive-Compulsive (OC) symptoms.MethodsThe cross-sectional study was carried out in the German-speaking area. A paper and pencil survey was completed by 612 females and 442 males of the general population.ResultsSEM analyses showed that the IEQ-G allows for calculating a total score and invariance tests were mostly promising. As a side result, the original 4-factorial structure of the EDE-Q could not be replicated, but a 3 dimensional solution proved convincing. From a psychometric point of view, the IEQ-G outperformed the EDE-Q. On a latent level, Inflexible Eating was remarkably strong related to OC-symptoms and the EDE-Q subscales.DiscussionThe detail analyses revealed that Eating Disorder assessment in general lacks subgroup-specific aspects, for instance, regarding gender or dietary preferences, important for early diagnosis and screening of ED. The IEQ-G proved applicable in a German speaking adult population and recommends itself for cross-cultural studies.

BackgroundOsteoarthritis has the characteristics of degenerative changes in articular cartilage and secondary osteoporosis, and it is a common chronic irreversible joint disease. In addition to affecting articular cartilage, subchondral bone, joint capsule and synovial membrane also undergo pathological changes during the development of the disease. Multiple studies have revealed that patients with osteoarthritis were found to have a significantly increased risk of osteoporosis, which also contributes to the progression of osteoarthritis. However, in the current existing studies, we found that no scholars have used bibliometric analysis in the study of the relationship between osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. From the perspective of bibliometrics, this study summarizes in detail the degree of cooperation between countries, research institutions, authors, and related journals in the field of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis research and their respective influence. In this way, the evolution of knowledge structure, the change of research focus and the hot topics with research potential in the future can be further visualized and analyzed.MethodsSearch the Web of Science core collection in Science Citation Index Expanded for articles and reviews of research on osteoarthritis and osteoporosis from 1998 to 2021. Bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer, CiteSpace, were be frequently used in our study. They are mainly used to analyze collaborations between countries, research institutions, and publication authors. Meantime, co-citation analysis of journals, co-occurrence analysis of keywords and subject categories will also be reflected in the study.ResultsAccording to the search strategy, 1,078 publications were included during the period 1998–2021. And the number of annual publications on the relationship between osteoarthritis and osteoporosis is on the rise. The United States has achieved the most and contributed the most in this field and the Boston University was the most prolific institution. For the statistical analysis of published publications, Reginster JY had the highest number of publications, while Felson DT had the highest co-citation frequency. Respectively, Osteoarthritis And Cartilage was the most productive journal in this area of research. The keywords “inflammation,” “expression,” and “mesenchymal stem cells” may also be the development trend and research hotspot of the future research direction in this field.ConclusionsIn our study, the relationship between osteoarthritis and osteoporosis was analyzed by using literature measurement. These analysis results can lead researchers to learn more directly about the trend in this area and provide guidance for determining popular research directions.

IntroductionTheAedesmosquito species, which are the vectors for the transmission of the dengue virus (DENV) to humans, are becoming increasingly susceptible to the formidable effects of influential factors, especially temperature. However, there are still very few studies that have systematically reviewed the existing literature. Hence, in the present study, a systematic literature review and meta-analysis was conducted into the effects of temperature on dengue vectors.MethodSeveral research methodologies were incorporated into the current study, and a review was carried out using PRISMA as a guide. The publications for this study were chosen from two prominent databases, Scopus and Web of Science. All of the studies were assessed, reviewed, and evaluated independently by two reviewers. The meta-analysis tool, Review Manager (RevMan Copenhagen Version 5.4.1), was used to record the extracted data for the meta-analysis. Moran'sI2and a funnel plot were utilized to measure heterogeneity, and publication bias was investigated. A 95% confidence interval (CI) and overall risk difference (RD) were estimated using a random-effects model.Result and discussionAs a consequence of the search efforts, a total of 46 articles were selected for inclusion in the systematic review and meta-analysis. This review was divided into five major themes, based on a thematic analysis: (i) hatching rate, (ii) development time, (iii) longevity, (iv) survival rate, and (v) wing morphology. In addition, the development time, survival rate, and wing morphology revealed significantly higher risk differences between the maximum and minimum temperatures (RD: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.36;p= &lt; 0.00001; RD: 0.10, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.14;p&lt; 0.0001; and RD: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.12;p= 0.006, respectively). This study makes several substantial contributions to the body of knowledge and to practical applications. Finally, a number of recommendations are made at the conclusion of this research for the future reference of researchers.
Digital finance and migrant workers' urban integration: The mediation effect of the gender-earning gap
Authors: Yang Zhiheng , Liu Tiantian , Xiao Yao 
Published: December 2022

IntroductionIn the context of the wide application of digital finance, whether digital finance promotes or inhibits migrant workers' urban integration is an important issue.MethodsBased on microdata from the Chinese Social Survey (CSS) in 2019, we examined the mediation effects of inclusive digital finance on migrant workers' urban integration.ResultsThe empirical results showed that digital finance promotes migrant workers' integration into urban life and has positive effects. When the digital finance index increases by 1 unit, the urban integration of migrant workers also increases by 0.599 units. The usage depth and digitization degree of digital finance are positively correlated with the assimilation process of urban migrant workers, with coefficients of 0.690 and 1.282, respectively. Using the intermediary effect model, it was found that the development of digital finance promotes migrant workers' integration into urban society by narrowing the gender gap in income. One unit of digital finance increases the income of female migrant workers by 144.4% points greater than that of male migrant workers. It significantly improves the ability of female migrant workers to obtain wealth and promotes their integration into cities and family migration.DiscussionIt is necessary to strengthen the promotion and utilization of digital finance to enhance its positive impact on the assimilation process of urban migrant workers by strengthening the construction of digital financial infrastructure, improving supporting policies related to the development of digital finance and improving the financial literacy of migrant workers, especially female migrant workers.

Published: December 2022

IntroductionSuture passer needle, as one of commonly used instrument in the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, often breaks at the notch of the needle, which originally was designed to facilitate suture with thread. Our study aimed to evaluate the suture failure rate and stitch success rate between intact suture needle and broken needle and explore the mechanism of the needle breakage and achieving better future designs.Materials and methodsFrom 2017 to 2021, consecutive 437 shoulders (11 cases were bilateral) underwent arthroscopic repair for full-thickness rotator cuff tear at the authors’ institution. The breakage of needles was recorded. Finite elements analysis and mechanical test were utilized to compare stress distribution, puncture performance, and loaded puncture performance between the broken needle and the intact needle.ResultsWe identified 19 consecutive patients for whom the needle tip of the TruePass™ suture passer was broken in the 437 shoulder surgeries. Based on the finite element analysis of Abaqus, around the tip and the notch of the intact needle was a large stress concentration. The average puncture force required by intact needle tip and the broken tip is 61.78N and 78.23N respectively. While the intact tip with notch is easier to break than the broken tip.ConclusionsThe notch of the needle is a weak point in mechanics. The broken needle without the notch still has good tendon piercing and thread passing ability. The notch of needle may be not necessary, and the tip of the needle should be modified.

Endophytic microbiota are being researched as a vital source of beneficial attributes that are of immense importance for enhancing agroecological crop production. In this study, two endophytic strains: Pseudomonas carnis NWUBe30 and Stenotrophomonas geniculata NWUBe21, were isolated from cowpea tissue, and their plant growth-promoting attributes were assessed. The 16S rRNA gene, as well as the key plant growth-promoting genes that they contain, were subjected to polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Furthermore, their genome was sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 systems platform. The results indicated that they possess multiple plant growth-promoting attributes, including the solubilization of phosphates, the production of auxin, siderophore, hydrogen cyanide, exopolysaccharide, ammonia, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acids. Additionally, the plant growth-promoting genes GCD and ASB were amplified via PCR at their expected base pair value. The genome bioinformatics analysis revealed assembled sizes of 5,901,107 bp for P. carnis NWUBe30, with an average G+C content of 60.2%, and for S. geniculata NWUBe21, 512,0194 bp, with a G+C content of 64.79%. Likewise, genes, such as exopolyphosphatase, ferribacilibactin, betalactone, and lassopeptide, that are responsible for promoting plant growth were identified. This study highlights the biotechnological potential of Stenotrophomonas geniculata strain NWUBe21 and the Pseudomonas carnis strain NWUBe30, which can be harnessed to achieve improvements in sustainable agroecological crop production.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) bacteriocins can be considered as a bio-preservatives and an alternative to antibiotics, but the high manufacturing costs limit their commercial application. The screening of LAB strains for bacteriocinogenic activity was carried out and the effect of rye bran enzymatic hydrolysate (RBEH) on gene expression and bacteriocin production was evaluated. qPCR and RT-PCR was applied for bacteriocin gene detection and their expression quantification. The agar diffusion technique with the test strains of Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Salmonella enterica was performed for antimicrobial activity assessment of LAB cultivated in MRS broth and RBEH (processed with proteases and cellulases). The genes of different bacteriocins were revealed for thirteen out of eighteen LAB strains, while the antimicrobial activity was detected only for four of them. The strains of Lactobacillus paracasei VKPM B-11657 and L. salivarius VKPM B-2214 with unnamed class IIb bacteriocin gene demonstrated the widest spectrum of activity. The growth patterns and bacteriocin gene expression differed between both strains and media. The activity of cell-free supernatants after cultivation in RBEH was slightly lower. However, the test strain of S. epidermidis was inhibited by L. paracasei cultivated in RBEH but not in MRS. Thus, rye bran can be applied as a sole source of nutrients for LAB fermentation and bacteriocin production.

Published: December 2022

An auxiliary protection device (rail holding mechanism) was proposed to control the collision attitude of subway vehicles. The dynamics model of head-on collision of subway vehicles was established and verified by the full-scale collision test of the real car; then the force element structure of the rail holding mechanism was equated; finally, the vertical lift and the pitch angle of the three characteristic sections of car body and the wheelsets were used as the evaluation indicators to study the effects of the three design parameters: the gap distance (x1), the linear stage distance (Δ x2) and the stiffness of linear stage (k1). The results show that the linear stage distance has little influence on the collision attitude of the car body, while the x1 and k1 had a greater influence on the collision attitude of the car body. The reasonable reduction of the gap distance x1 and increase the k1 can effectively reduce the vertical lift of the wheelsets and alleviate the nodding phenomenon of the train, and reduce the derailment and jumping phenomenon during the train collision.

Key Points

Among hospitalized patients with stage 2/3 AKI, persistent severe acute kidney injury (PS-AKI) is associated with significantly longer length of stay (LOS) and higher costs during index hospitalization and 30 days postdischarge.Relative differences in LOS and costs for PS-AKI versus NPS-AKI were similar for intensive care (ICU) and non-ICU patients.Preventing PS-AKI among patients with stage 2/3 AKI may reduce hospital LOS and costs.

Background
Persistent severe acute kidney injury (PS-AKI) is associated with worse clinical outcomes, but there are no data on costs of PS-AKI. We compared costs and health care resource utilization for inpatients with PS-AKI versus not persistent severe AKI (NPS-AKI) overall and by ICU use.

Methods
This retrospective observational study included 126,528 adult US inpatients in the PINC AI Healthcare Database (PHD), discharged from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, with KDIGO stage 2 or 3 AKI (by serum creatinine [SCr] criteria) during hospitalization, length of stay (LOS) ≥3 days, and ≥3 SCr measurements. Patients were categorized as PS-AKI (defined as stage 3 AKI lasting ≥3 days or with death within 3 days or stage 2/3 AKI (by SCr criteria) with dialysis within 3 days) or NPS-AKI. Generalized linear model regression compared LOS and costs during index hospitalization (total cohort) and 30 days postdischarge (survivors of index hospitalization), adjusted for patient, hospital, and clinical characteristics.

Results
Among 126,528 patients with stage 2/3 AKI, 30,916 developed PS-AKI. In adjusted models, compared with NPS-AKI, patients with PS-AKI had 32% longer total LOS (+3.3 days), 45% longer ICU LOS (+2.6 days), 46% higher total costs (+$13,143), 58% higher ICU costs (+$15,908), and during 30 days postdischarge 13% longer readmission LOS (+1.0 day), 22% higher readmission costs (+$4049), and 12% higher outpatient costs (+$206) (P<0.005 for all). Relative LOS and cost differences for PS-AKI versus NPS-AKI were similar for ICU (n=57,947) and non-ICU (n=68,581) patients.

Conclusions:
Among hospitalized patients with stage 2/3 AKI, PS-AKI was associated with significantly longer LOS and higher costs during index hospitalization and 30 days postdischarge, overall, and in ICU and non-ICU patients. Preventing PS-AKI among patients with stage 2/3 AKI may reduce hospital LOS and costs.
