Authors: Alfiandri Alfiandri , Salomo Roy Valiant , Prasojo Eko , Wicaksono Agung 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This research aims to identify gaps in indicators and variables of Collaborative Governance associated with Mangrove-based ecotourism in Bintan Island, Riau Islands, Indonesia. Furthermore, the conditions of Collaborative Governance are analyzed to obtain an ego-sectoral relationship between stakeholders with the development process carried out according to their respective visions and missions. This is qualitative research with primary and secondary data collected through interviews and transcripts. The data was analyzed using in-depth triangulation and NVivo software to determine the interpretive constructor. The results showed that stakeholders could use Mangrove conservation policies in Bintan Island to form bottom-up and top-down Collaborative Governance models. However, despite finding weak indicators and variables based on NVivo coding in the context of the priority Penta Helix model, the proposed model involving Penta Helix indicators can be implemented. Therefore, stakeholders can provide goods for Mangrove Ecotourism for domestic and foreign tourists

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Objective
Three dimensional (3D) reconstruction is widely used in complicated renal surgery. This article focus on investigating the role of three-dimensional reconstruction participated in partial nephrectomy (PN) from a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods
We searched published studies that reported the relationship between 3D reconstruction and PN using PubMed and Embase up to December 8, 2022. STATA version 12.0was used to conduct all analyses.
Results
Seventeen studies were finally progressed to data extraction. Meta-analysis indicated a significant reduction in operation time ([SMD] =-0.34; confidence interval [CI]: -0.59 to -0.09), global ischemia time ([SMD] =-0.42; CI: -0.64 to -0.21) and opening collecting system rate (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.14 to0.47).There are no statistically significant differences between 3d reconstruction assisted PN and 2D control group considering estimated blood loss, GFR change, positive surgical margin, length of hospital stay, and intraoperative complication.
Conclusion
Our study provides evidence that 3D reconstruction played an important role in PN, especially for complex renal tumors. However, more high-quality, larger sample size and more rigorously designed randomized controlled trials which report this topic are still needed to support our conclusions.

Abstract
Background: En bloc resection of the uncinate process of the pancreas represents the most important yet difficult step in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD), given the risk of major intraoperative bleeding which often necessitates the conversion to open surgery. We therefore developed the intermittent superior mesenteric artery occlusion (ISMAO) technique as a means of blood flow control during uncinate process resection, and investigated its role in LPD.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent LPD at the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital between August 2020 and May 2022 were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups, the ISMAO and non-ISMO group. Parameters such as operation time, intraoperative blood loss volume, conversion rate to open surgery, R0 resection rate, bowel function recovery time, postoperative hospital stay length, and rate of postoperative complications (including pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, and postoperative bleeding) were compared.
Results: A total of 51 patients were included, of whom 22 (43.1%) underwent ISMAO. Significantly shorter mean operation time was observed in the ISMAOgroup compared to the non-ISMAO group (349.8 ± 84.9 min vs. 533.5 ± 105.9 min; P < 0.001). In addition, ISMAO associated with significantly lower intraoperative blood loss volume [112.5 (87.5-200.0) mL vs. 400.0 (250.0-600.0) mL; P < 0.001], and significantly lower conversion rate to open surgery (4.54% vs. 26.0%; P = 0.0485). R0 resection rate in the ISMAO group was significantly higher (95.5% vs. 79.3%; P = 0.0485). No significant differences were observed in postoperative hospital stay length, bowel function recovery time, and postoperative complication rate between the groups.
Conclusions: ISMAO represents a novel blood flow control technique for en bloc resection of the uncinate process. Our study demonstrated its role in improving surgical safety and reducing intraoperative bleeding, and suggests its potential as a standard surgical procedure in LPD.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

To investigate the dominant deformational patterns and stress conditions in the upper crustal structure of the Kinki region, southwest Japan, we constructed a high-resolution 3D azimuthal anisotropy model to a depth of ~ 11 km. We used 6-month-long ambient noise data recorded by the densely distributed permanent and temporary stations. From this dataset, cross-correlations were retrieved. We then obtained a 3D isotropic velocity model by inverting Rayleigh wave dispersion data, followed by a direct joint inversion for both 3D azimuthal anisotropy and additional isotropic velocity perturbation. The resolved 3D azimuthal anisotropy reveals significant contrasts of anisotropy across the Kinki region. The southern part of the Kinki region shows predominantly NE-SW-trending fast axes, ascribed to fossil anisotropy. The fast axes in the northwestern Kinki region are consistent with the direction of the maximum horizontal compressional stress and the principal strain rate axes, suggesting that the observed anisotropy is mainly stress-induced. On the depth profile of the anisotropy, we found depth-dependent variation of azimuthal anisotropy. There exist a significant consistency between the anisotropy observed beneath 3 km depth and the dense distribution of earthquake hypocenters (≥4 %). This interrelationship between anisotropy and seismicity demonstrates that the observed anisotropy could be linked to local crustal stress or fractures relevant to earthquake ruptures. Our high-spatial resolution 3D anisotropy model therefore contributes towards understanding the locations and features of the seismicity region.
Elemental Selenium-Derived Poly(Sulfide Selenide)s: A Platform of Photo- and Electrochemical Responsive Polymer

Published: December 2022

AbstractSelenium-containing polymers have numerous attractive properties, such as light response behaviors, biocompatibilities, and heavy-metal-ion adhesive ability. However, the lack of efficient strategies for constructing selenium-containing polymers limits their development. Herein, a facile but efficient strategy is proposed for synthesizing poly(sulfide selenide)s directly from elemental selenium and episulfides in the presence of an organocatalyst system. This strategy affords poly(sulfide selenide)s with high sulfide–selenide linkage selectivity (> 99%). Notably, the poly(sulfide selenide)s exhibit a photodegradable nature and photo-responsive behavior via structural assembly. Furthermore, the excellent electrochemical properties of these poly(sulfide selenide)s enable their application in electrochemical CO2capture. The high monomer compatibility of this method leads to a series of poly(sulfide selenide)s with diverse structures, thus various thermal and optical performances.
Recurrent Pyloric Stenosis in a Patient with Kleefstra Syndrome: A Clinical Case Report
Authors: Bhatt Arjun , Lenfestey Mary 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis refractory to initial complete pyloromyotomy is extremely rare and distinguished from incomplete pyloromyotomy by a prolonged postoperative symptomatic improvement before symptom recurrence. The pathogenesis is uncertain but is theorized to be a continuation of the process that initially produces infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS), which has been associated with chromosome region 9q duplications.
Case Presentation: Here we present a case of a neonate presenting with respiratory distress syndrome, hydronephrosis, pulmonary valve stenosis, and hypotonia at birth. A microarray identified a deletion of the terminal region of chromosome 9q, consistent with Kleefstra syndrome. The infant was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis after abdominal ultrasound was ordered to investigate difficulties with feeding, vomiting, and poor weight gain. Following initial surgical repair at five weeks of age, the infant demonstrated consistent postoperative weight gain for six weeks and resolution of emesis. However, vomiting returned and weight gain halted during weeks eleven and twelve of life; a barium swallow series and repeat abdominal ultrasound demonstrated recurrent IHPS. The infant underwent repeat pyloromyotomy and with post-operative clinical improvement.
Conclusions: We present the first known case of recurrent pyloric stenosis in a patient with Kleefstra syndrome, and which further supports the hypothesis of an association between chromosome 9 and pyloric stenosis, due to an increased incidence of pyloric stenosis in chromosome 9 pathologies such as Kleefstra Syndrome found in current literature.
Circular configuration of Torcular Herophili presenting as childhood headache
Authors: Datta Debajyoti , Sekar Arunkumar 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The torcular herophili, also known as the confluence of the sinuses, has a highly variable anatomy and up to 9 different types have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of a circular configuration of the torcular herophili in a child who presented with headache in absence of other abnormalities. The torcular herophili embryologically develops from the anterior and middle dural plexus.The anterior dural plexus is joined posteriorly by the middle dural plexus forming the junctional area of the drainage of superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus and bilateral transverse sinus, thereby forming the primitive torcular herophili 2.
We propose that the circular configuration of the torcular herophili may cause episodes of headache due to raised intracranial pressure secondary to venous congestion caused by this configuration of the torcular.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background
D3 lymph node dissection with left colic artery (LCA) preservation in rectal cancer surgery seems to has little effect on reducing postoperative anastomotic leakage. So we first propose D3 lymph node dissection with LCA and first sigmoid artery (SA) preservation. This novel procedure deserves further study.
Methods
Rectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic D3 lymph node dissection with LCA preservation or with LCA and first SA preservation between September 2017 and May 2020 were retrospectively assessed. The patients were categorized into two groups: preservation of LCA group and preservation of LCA and first SA group. A 1:1 propensity score-matched analysis was performed to decrease confounding.
Results
Propensity score matching yielded 56 patients in each group from the eligible patients. The rate of postoperative anastomotic leakage in the preservation of LCA and first SA group was significantly lower than that in the LCA preservation group (7.1% vs. 0%, P = 0.040). No significant differences were observed in operation time, length of hospital stay, estimated blood loss, length of distal margin, lymph node retrieval, apical lymph node retrieval, and complications. A survival analysis showed patients’ 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates of the group 1 and group 2 were 81.8% and 83.5% (P = 0.595), respectively.
Conclusion
D3 lymph node dissection with LCA and first SA preservation for rectal cancer may help reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage without compromising oncological outcomes compare with D3 lymph node dissection with only LCA preservation.
Cystic dysplasia of the rete testis in a young adult accompanying ipsilateral renal agenesis: A case report
Authors: Franin Ivan , Grubišić Igor , Gršić Lana Postružin , Kirigin Monica Stephany , Vodopić Tonći , Krušlin Božo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background: A 31-year-old man was referred from an outside institution to the department of urology under the suspicion of a testicular tumor, with left-sided testicular pain lasting a couple of months in duration. Physical examination showed a hard, thickened and small left testis on palpation with diffuse, inhomogeneous ultrasonographic appearance. After urologic examination a left-sided inguinal orchiectomy was performed. The testis, epididymis and spermatic cord were sent to pathology.
Case presentation: On gross examination, a cystic cavity filled with brown fluid content and surrounding brownish parenchyma measuring up to 3.5 cm in diameter was found. Histologic examination showed cystically dilated rete testis lined with cuboidal epithelium and a positive immunohistochemical reaction to cytokeratins. The cystic cavity was microscopically a pseudocyst filled with extravasated erythrocytes and abundant clusters of siderophages. The siderophages extended into the testicular parenchyma, surrounding the seminiferous tubules and spreading out around ducts of the epididymis, which were also cystically dilated with siderophages inside their lumina.
Conclusions: On the basis of clinical data, histological and immunohistochemical analysis, a diagnosis of cystic dysplasia of the rete testis was established. According to the literature there is a very well-known association between cystic dysplasia of rete testis and ipsilateral genitourinary anomalies. The patient was referred to the department of radiology, and a multi-slice computed tomography scan revealed ipsilateral renal agenesis, right seminal vesicle cyst reaching up to the iliac arteries and a multi-cystic formation cranial to the prostate.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

In Arctic regions the food availability for epi-pelagic fauna is strictly influenced by environmental stressors, such as solar radiation, ice cover, glacial and watershed runoffs. This study presents an 8-year time-series (2010–2018) of mesozooplankton collected from a moored automatic sediment trap in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, at ~ 87m depth. The aim of this study is to observe the temporal variation in the abundance of epipelagic mesozooplankton species, collected as active flux (swimmers). Environmental stressors, including meteorological and hydrological datasets, are presented to evaluate the relative importance on the behavior of zooplankton populations. A principal component analysis (PCA) applied to the dataset revealed that the physical and chemical characteristics of seawater affected the mesozooplankton abundance and composition. Collectively, this result highlighted the role of the thermohaline characteristics of the water column on the Copepods behavior, and the correlation between siliceous phytoplankton and Amphipods. Overall, the zooplankton within inner Kongsfjorden did not show a clear seasonal trend, suggesting their high adaptivity to extreme environmental conditions. Although the swimmer fluxes have decreased from 2013 onwards, an increase in community diversity has nevertheless been observed, probably due to copepods decline and subsequent food availability. Despite the decreasing magnitude of the zooplanktonic community over time, we recorded the intrusion of subarctic boreal species, such as Limacina retroversa, since 2016. The uniqueness of this dataset is the continuous 8-year time series, which provide correlations between environmental and biological parameters in an understudied region. In a warming Kongsfjorden scenario, with the increase of submarine and watershed runoff, and the rapid Atlantification of the fjord, major changes in mesozooplankton communities are likely to be expected in the medium to long-term due to their adaptation to environmental changes and the introduction of alien species.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The effect of key ecological and anthropic factors on recruitment of the common yew (Taxus baccata) in Sardinia (Italy) has been analysed. After a bibliographic and cartographic research, followed by field surveys, we found 232 sites where T. baccata grows in Sardinia (opposed to 69 previously reported in literature). Among them, we selected 40 sites, distributed in 14 different mountain chains, characterised by a number of individuals ranging from 11 to 836 adult yews with average Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) from 13 to 130 cm. By means of generalised linear modelling, we investigated and weighted the effect of ecological, structural, and anthropic factors on amount of T. baccata recruitment. Stand recruitment was positively correlated to shrub cover and soil moisture, and was negatively correlated to browsing (both from livestock and wild animals). Our data confirm that the presence of a protective layer of bushy and/or spiny shrubs is a crucial factor for seedling and sapling survival, mostly in relation to protection from summer drought and browsing of large herbivores. Finally, guidelines for conservation and restoration of T. baccata communities, referred to the EU priority habitat 9580* (Mediterranean Taxus baccata woods), have been outlined.
Transfer of patients with infective endocarditis to reference centers: an analysis of patients’ profile and the influence of timing on outcomes
Authors: Zulet Pablo , Olmos Carmen , López Javier , Vilacosta Isidre , Saez Carmen , Jerónimo Adrián , Román J. Alberto San 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Purpose
The 2015 European infective endocarditis (IE) guidelines recommend the management of patients with IE in reference centers (RC), especially in cases of IE complicated by heart failure, abscesses, embolisms, or neurological complications. This management strategy has demonstrated a reduction in mortality.
Methods
From January 1996 to December 2021, 1834 episodes with a final diagnosis of IE admitted in three tertiary centers were prospectively included in a multicenter, multipurpose registry.
Results
In a cohort of 1688 patients with left-sided infective endocarditis, prolonged time from diagnosis to surgery was independently associated with higher mortality in referred patients. This did not occur in patients diagnosed directly in the Reference Center, probably reflecting better risk stratification and selection of surgical timing in these centers.
Conclusion
Prompt referral of IE cases to RCs is a measure that may improve patients’ prognosis by allowing access to specialized management by dedicated teams of experts and cardiac surgery.
Mechanism of bare patch formation under Haloxylon ammodendron canopies and patch effects on soil microorganisms in the Gurbantunggut Desert, Northern China
Authors: Liu Pei , Li Eryang , Ma Yuan , Lü Jie , Zhang Qinghang 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background and aims
In the Gurbantunggut Desert, Haloxylon ammodendron and Syntrichia caninervis are often found at the base of the dunes. In these areas, bare patches usually form under the H. ammodendron canopy, but not under other shrub canopies.
Methods
We compared the soil chemical properties under H. ammodendron canopy inside the bare patches (UC) and of soil under moss crust outside of H. ammodendron canopy bare patches (UM), and used UHPLC-MS/MS to analyze soil metabolites and metagenomic sequencing to characterize the structure of soil microflora.
Results
A total of 951 metabolites were identified in the soil samples, and 518 differential metabolites were observed. The content of amides, such as oleamide, in UC soil was significantly higher than that in UM soil, suggesting that the amides may be the main allelochemicals inhibiting S. caninervis. The differences in soil chemical properties and metabolites impacted soil microorganisms, but the structure and function of microbial communities did not differ significantly.
Conclusions
The amides secreted by H. ammodendron roots create a concentration gradient under its canopy, with high concentrations inhibiting S. caninervis, causing changes in soil chemical factors inside and outside the bare patch. These changes affect the abundance of microbial species and relevant metabolic pathways. The differences in microbial communities and functions are caused by a combination of soil chemical properties and metabolites, rather than a direct effect of high levels of soil metabolites such as amides.
Deep Learning Phase Error Correction for Cerebrovascular 4D Flow MRI
Authors: Srini Shanmukha , Masutani Evan , Norbash Alexander , Hsiao Albert 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background and Purpose
Background phase errors in 4D Flow MRI may negatively impact blood flow quantification. In this study, we assessed their impact on cerebrovascular flow volume measurements, evaluated the benefit of manual image-based correction, and assessed the potential of a convolutional neural network (CNN), a form of deep learning, to directly infer the correction vector field.
Methods
With IRB waiver of informed consent, we retrospectively identified 96 MRI exams from 48 patients who underwent cerebrovascular 4D Flow MRI from October 2015 to 2020. Flow measurements of the anterior, posterior, and venous circulation were performed to assess inflow-outflow error and the benefit of manual image-based phase error correction. A CNN was then trained to directly infer the phase-error correction field, without segmentation, from 4D Flow volumes to automate correction, reserving from 23 exams for testing. Statistical analyses included Spearman correlation, Bland-Altman, Wilcoxon-signed rank (WSR) and F-tests.
Results
Prior to correction, there was strong correlation between inflow and outflow (ρ = 0.833–0.947) measurements with the largest discrepancy in the venous circulation. Manual phase error correction improved inflow-outflow correlation (ρ = 0.945–0.981) and decreased variance (p < 0.001, F-test). Fully automated CNN correction was non-inferior to manual correction with no significant differences in correlation (ρ = 0.971 vs ρ = 0.982) or bias (p = 0.82, Wilcoxon-Signed Rank test) of inflow and outflow measurements.
Conclusions
Residual background phase error can impair inflow-outflow consistency of cerebrovascular flow volume measurements. A CNN can be used to directly infer the phase-error vector field to fully automate phase error correction.
