Analysis of the phosphoproteome in human dental follicle cells during osteogenic differentiation
Authors: Morsczeck Christian , Pieles Oliver , Beck Hans‐Christian 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDental follicle cells (DFCs) are osteogenic progenitor cells and are well suited for molecular studies of differentiation of alveolar osteoblasts. A recent study examined the metabolism in DFCs during osteogenic differentiation and showed that energy metabolism is increased after 14 days of differentiation (mid phase). However, previous studies have examined proteomes at early (2 h, 24 h) or very late (28 days) stages of differentiation, but not during the phase of increased metabolic activity. In this study, we examined the phosphoproteome at the mid phase (14 days) of osteogenic differentiation. Analysis of DFC phosphoproteomes showed that during this phase of osteogenic differentiation, proteins that are part of signal transduction are significantly regulated. Proteins involved in the regulation of the cytoskeleton and apoptosis were also increased in expression. As osteogenic differentiation induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in DFCs, the oxidative stress defense protein, catalase, was also upregulated during osteogenic differentiation, which supports the biomineralization of DFCs. In summary, this study revealed that during the middle phase (14 days) of osteogenic differentiation, processes in DFCs related to the control of cell organization, apoptosis, and oxidative stress are regulated.

Published: September 2023

AbstractWhile spouses of military veterans have not been directly exposed to threats during deployment, they often experience a substantial post‐deployment‐related health burden while living with and caring for a partner with deployment‐related mental health issues. Drawing from in‐depth interviews, this study examined how female spouses of military veterans deal with the psychosocial effects of deployment. We show how these women cope. They keep their family lives going by maintaining hope for the future. We argue that hope is a dynamic practice between reality and possibility, and different forms of hope co‐exist. These range from temporary formulations of present‐centered hope, and permanent hopes directed towards the future. We illustrate how spouses challenge discourses around curative futures and adjust their hopes to maintain a more satisfactory everyday life and a positive horizon towards the future.
Practice tips for managing challenges in parenting capacity assessments in child protection court
Authors: Smith Krissie Fernandez , O'Donnell Phillip C. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractCourts frequently rely on parenting capacity assessments to make decisions about visitation and case progress in child protection court. Although these evaluations can provide valuable information to courts, they often involve assessing areas of human behavior that are not clearly defined in the literature. For example, mental health professionals are often tasked with identifying risk and protective factors for child maltreatment while identifying factors that can impede progress towards reunification. Although some of these factors may be easy to identify and assess (e.g., symptoms of mental illness or substance abuse), others may be more challenging. For example, factors such as denial and minimization about risk factors and maltreatment, a parent(s)’ ability to protect their child(ren) from future incidents of maltreatment, the parent(s)’ potential for change, and the consideration of what is in the best interest of the child are hard to assess. This article will provide a summary of the research in these areas, provide tips for managing these areas, and highlight directions for future investigation that will help inform parenting capacity assessments in child protection court.

Published: September 2023

ObjectivesThis pilot study aimed to carry out preliminary tests of the removability of an artificial biofilm equivalent (ABE) and to verify the reproducibility of the ABE testing protocol for a planned main study.BackgroundThere is a lack of data to develop suitable artificial biofilm substitutes, which may be helpful to perform denture hygiene education and to carry out in vitro examinations of oral hygiene products.Materials and MethodsThis single‐group, prospective, longitudinal, interventional pilot study was conducted in Dresden (Germany) from February until December 2020. Participants were recruited who wore fully functional upper complete dentures. Denture biofilm was grown on acrylic specimens by wearing dentures for 12 h and 36 h using intraoral appliances. Acrylic specimens were coated with ABEs of three compositions: chitosan (ChS) 0.3 g, methylcellulose (MC) 1.7 g; ChS 0.2 g, MC 1.8 g; ChS 0.1 g, MC 1.9 g (labelled 1.7MC, 1.8MC and 1.9MC, respectively). All specimens underwent standardised mechanical brushing. The percentages of remaining biofilm (POB) were measured.ResultsThirty‐one participants were prescreened, and eight (26%) were included. The appliances were well tolerated, and biofilm was collected. ABE was prepared and brushed as planned. Three and six brushing strokes were needed to remove 12‐h and 36‐h natural denture biofilm, respectively. Correspondingly, three brushing strokes were needed to remove 1.9MC ABE and six brushing strokes to remove 1.8MC and 1.7MC ABE. A reproducibility of ABE removal was indicated.ConclusionThe removability of ABE and the ABE testing protocol were feasible and reproducible for conducting the future main study.
Cosmopolitan pathways from the Global South: How non‐middle‐class students become desirable Fulbright applicants
Authors: You Shunan 
Published: September 2023

AbstractInternational student mobility (ISM) is largely interpreted as a global middle‐class capital accumulation strategy. Cosmopolitanism, which is the named outcome and effect of these mobile forms of social and cultural capital, is therefore disproportionately available to already privileged students. This study moves beyond this prevailing interpretation by examining how students from working‐ or lower‐middle‐class families with limited resources in Global South countries combine bottom‐up cosmopolitanism with educational mobility to get selected into highly competitive spaces, such as the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, the most prestigious educational and cultural program in the United States. Based on 20 in‐depth interviews with successful Fulbright applicants and participant observation, my findings suggest that working‐ and lower‐middle‐class applicants are largely successful because of their cosmopolitan dispositions which they cultivate in creative and agentive ways. This article adds texture and complexity to existing discussions on middle‐class hegemony in ISM and cosmopolitan subject‐making.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundCancer immunotherapy has shown promising results in several tumors, but its efficacy is influenced by the immune state of the body. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection can modulate the immune function of the body through various pathways, ultimately affecting the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.AimIn this meta‐analysis, we aimed to explore the association between H. pylori infection and the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify relevant articles. We extracted and pooled the hazard ratio (HR) of the overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS) by Review Manager 5.4.ResultsOur analysis included four studies with a total of 263 participants. Compared to the control group, patients receiving cancer immunotherapy with H. pylori infection had a shorter OS (HR = 2.68, 95% CI: 2.00–4.11, p < 0.00001) and PFS (HR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.66–3.60, p < 0.00001).ConclusionOur meta‐analysis suggested that H. pylori infection has a detrimental effect on cancer immunotherapy.

AbstractObjectiveTo systematically evaluate randomized controlled trials (RCTs), with at least 6 months of follow‐up, on whether professional mechanical plaque removal (PMPR) including supragingival scaling should be performed prior and separately from subgingival scaling and root planning (SRP) in nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT), in terms of clinical and patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) (CRD42020219759).MethodsThe MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, LILACS and Web of Science electronic databases, as well as grey literature sources, were searched by two independent reviewers up to May 2023. The Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2.0) was used for quality appraisal and GRADE for assessing the certainty of evidence. Random‐effects pairwise meta‐analyses compared the changes in probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment loss (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BoP) of a stepwise NSPT approach (PMPR prior and separately from SRP) and conventional one‐step NSPT through mean differences (MDs) and associated confidence intervals (95% CI).ResultsTwo RCTs were included, including data of 77 participants with severe periodontitis. One RCT presents high risk of bias and the other has some concerns. No significant differences were found between the stepwise approach and performing both steps simultaneously for any clinical outcomes, with overall very low certainty on evidence. No adverse effects were detected and there was no data on PROs.ConclusionsThere is very‐low certainty evidence of no significant difference on PPD and BoP reductions and CAL gain between supragingival scaling performed prior and separately from SRP and conventional one‐step NSPT.
Characterization and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles synthesized by the co‐precipitation method
Authors: Bayça Feray 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this study, the characterization and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles synthesized by co‐precipitation method were investigated. The calcined products obtained were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X‐ray (EDAX), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. Crystallite size and phase composition were analyzed by X‐ray diffraction. Crystallite size and phase composition were analyzed by X‐ray diffraction. The average crystallite size of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles increased in the range of 15.85–32.14 nm with an increase in temperature from 500 to 700°C. It was observed that spherical CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were produced. Synthesis of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was confirmed using XRD, SEM‐EDAX, and FTIR analyses. The effect of crystallite size, calcination temperature, and lattice parameter on saturation magnetization, remanent magnetization, coercivity, and magnetocrystalline anisotropy were investigated by vibrating sample magnetometer. As the crystallite size value increased, magnetocrystalline anisotropy also increased.

AbstractIn order to adjust the pore structures and improve the thermal insulation property and mechanical strength of fly ash‐based insulation materials prepared by a foaming gel‐casting technique, the rheological behaviors of foaming slurries were adjusted. Furthermore, the effects of heating temperatures on the properties and microstructure of the insulation materials were investigated. The results showed that as the content of the dispersant increased, the viscosity of slurries increased first and then decreased. When the content of the dispersant reached 0.2 wt.%, the slurries showed excellent flow ability, which caused a lot of big pores to generate in the matrix. Moreover, the thickening agent, binder and solid content had a great influence on the thixotropy of the slurries. As the content of the thickening agent and binder were 0.25 wt % and 5.0 wt.%, respectively, the slurries with 45 wt.% solid content exhibited outstanding thixotropy, which was beneficial to improve the stability of generated closed pores. After treating at 1300°C for 2 h, the bulk density, compressive strengths, and thermal conductivity of the insulation materials prepared using the optimized slurries were 0.44 g cm−3, 3.27 MPa, and 0.13 W·m−1·K−1, respectively.

ObjectivesMultifocal renal masses and large central‐endophytic tumors can be challenging for partial nephrectomy (PN) due to the paucity of capsule remaining after tumor removal. Our objective was to develop a neocapsule to provide tamponade and test its feasibility/safety in a porcine model.MethodsEight live pigs (50–70 kg) underwent unclamped open right flank PN. Renal defects were 1 cm deep and had moderate ongoing venous bleeding. A 6 × 9 inch sheet of Nu‐knit® was used for neocapsular reconstruction with Fibrillar™ packing to provide modest tamponade and preclude ongoing bleeding. Blood chemistry and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were drawn preoperatively and postoperative Days 3/5/8. On postoperative Day 8, euthanasia was performed, and both kidneys were inspected and analyzed for histologic changes.ResultsPN defects ranged from 1 × 1 × 1 cm to 4 × 2 × 1 cm; four pigs had PN performed in both poles and four in one pole. Neocapsular reconstruction was successful (n = 8), with no perioperative complications. Median baseline Hb was 10.4 g/dL, and median Hb postoperative Days 3/5/8 were 10.0/10.8/10.6 g/dL, respectively. Median baseline serum creatinine (SCr) was 1.9 mg/dL, and median SCr postoperative Days 3/5/8 were 1.5/1.4/1.5 mg/dL, respectively. At sacrifice, no significant hematomas were observed. Other than adjacent to the PN site, there were no significant histologic changes in the parenchyma for operative kidneys versus controls. Based on our experience, we recently performed neocapsular reconstruction safely/effectively after extensive PN for multifocal tumors and for an allograft with difficult‐to‐manage subcapsular hematoma.ConclusionsNeocapsular reconstruction after PN or capsular trauma appears feasible and safe and may be considered to reduce the risk of perioperative bleeding. However, further study will be needed to confirm the utility/efficacy of this approach.
Consumer‐oriented intelligent ripening control system for post‐ripening fruit

Published: September 2023

AbstractTo address the issues commonly encountered in traditional fruit ripening processes, which include reliance on manual experience, low efficiency, single control parameter, and significant fluctuations, a new intelligent fruit ripening control system has been designed. This system is based on a mathematical modeling algorithm, which allows for more effective and precise control over the ripening process. To ensure that the ripe fruits are transported to the fruit processing center in a low ripeness state, the proposed system adopts a strategy of precise control of temperature and ethylene, as well as range control of other environmental parameters. The RSSA‐PID model is used for ethylene and temperature control, which has high smoothness, fast response time, and high stability. Compared with the traditional PID model, the RSSA‐PID model has better dynamic performance and stability. Finally, the proposed system is applied to the ripening process of post‐ripening fruits, and the results show that the system achieves intelligent ripening, precise control, and low power consumption. The temperature and ethylene concentration are controlled within a variation of no more than 0.5%, and the humidity, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are maintained within reasonable thresholds. Overall, this paper provides a promising solution for the ripening process of post‐ripening fruits, which can benefit the fruit industry by improving the efficiency and quality of the supply chain.Practical ApplicationThe ripening chamber environment is a dynamic equilibrium environment with non‐linear characteristics because the fruits in the ripening chamber are constantly exchanging substances and energy with the environment through respiration and transpiration. An intelligent ripening control system (IRCS) for post‐ripening fruits is proposed in this paper (Figure 1). The whole ripening process runs automatically, which significantly reduces the ripening time and saves a lot of post‐processing time. The shorter ripening time combined with the latest intelligent software and hardware means that only as much energy as is actually needed is consumed. If the sales market changes, the fruit can be stored under air conditioning (CA) until the scheduled delivery date without significant further ripening and losses and complaints can be minimized.
The economic constitution and the political constitution: seeking the common good in the post‐national setting
Authors: EVERSON MICHELLE 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn the post‐national setting, the concept of the ‘economic constitution’ has been seen as design template and saviour; whether based on transactional certitude or founded on ordoliberal precepts, the economic constitution is assumed to legitimate economic integration across national borders in the absence of comprehensive political settlement. Nevertheless, recent tensions – not only within the European Union (EU) but also, more strikingly, within the World Trade Organization context – indicate the limits of economic constitutionalism. This article seeks to identify the roots of recent dysfunction within the history and theory of economic constitutionalism. It traces the evolution of an adjudicational economic constitutionalism and its place within the EU legal order, including the new EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and contrasts this vision with the more comprehensive and/or socialized models of economic constitutionalism found not only within the Weimar Republic but also within the post‐revolutionary/post‐conflict constitutional context. The article also places a major emphasis on theorizing around the apex of economic‐constitutional thought, ordoliberalism, but concludes that no concept of the economic constitution can be seen in isolation from its social‐political context, or from notions of the common good. To this exact degree, failures in modern economic constitutionalism may derive from a misplaced universalism – a technocratic absolutism that abdicates political responsibility for the common good, locating it instead in an ‘idolatry of the factual’ or a new naturalism of market inevitability.
Understanding the pathway between work and health outcomes for women during the preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum periods through the framing of maternal obesity

Published: September 2023

SummaryThe link between work and health outcomes for preconception, pregnant, and postpartum (PPP) working women is complex. Further, innovation and enhanced understanding are required to address the work‐related determinants of maternal obesity. However, workplace health promotion is not typically systems‐based nor attuned to the specific needs and context of individual PPP women. We propose that to improve health outcomes for PPP women, we must understand the pathways between paid work and health for the individual woman by taking a systems‐thinking approach. In this paper, we (a) outline the rationale for why the oversimplification or “dilution” of individual context may occur; (b) present a systems‐informed pathway model (the “Context‐Exposure‐Response” Model) and overview of potential work‐related impacts on health and wellbeing outcomes for PPP women using maternal obesity to provide context examples; (c) further investigate the role of motivational factors from a systems perspective; and (d) briefly examine the implications for policy, practice, and intervention design. It is anticipated that this research may act as a starting point to assist program developers, researchers, and policymakers to adopt a systems‐focused perspective while contributing to the health improvement and obesity prevention of PPP women.

AbstractCan international law provide new insights for better understanding transboundary water practice? Selecting China as one of the most challenging case studies, the article explores the possible elements of a reconceptualized approach to international freshwater management. This study demonstrates how the legal discourse surrounding regional transboundary waters can be reframed using the concept of contextualized international law to offer increased opportunities for improved transboundary water cooperation.
State responsibility in international law for transboundary water‐related harm: The emergence of a new ecosystems‐based paradigm?
Authors: McIntyre Owen 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThough one might reasonably expect that transboundary harm caused to the riparian interests of watercourse States should quite easily give rise to findings of legal responsibility on the part of the State causing such harm, this has rarely been the case. One reason commonly advanced is that the primary rules of international water law, breach of which would give rise to State responsibility, are vague and uncertain as regards their precise normative implications. However, recent developments regarding the requirement to protect riverine ecosystems and to maintain related ecosystem services provide an important degree of clarity as regards the standard of conduct expected of watercourse States, and the types of harm which may be compensable. This is welcome considering the important role that State responsibility might be presumed to play in giving effect to the values and commitments enshrined in the rules and principles of international water law.
