Authors: Dwi Rangga Wardana Sahwala , Amalia Zakiyah 
Published: January 2025

Many electric motorcycle users complain about the difficulty in controlling acceleration with precision, especially if they have never ridden a motorized vehicle before. This control difficulty is a result of the characteristics of BLDC motors, which have high torque instantly. While this characteristic is generally considered an advantage, in this discussion it is a disadvantage that can reduce rider comfort when operating an electric motorcycle. When the rider twists the throttle for the first time, the electric motor immediately spins at maximum power. The issues mentioned serve as the background for the this research entitled "The Effect of Throttle Signal Output Voltage Variations and Load on Current Consumption and BLDC Motor Speed in Electric Motorcycles."The method used in this research is an experimental method by varying the load at 60 kg, 70 kg, and 80 kg and three levels of throttle output voltage changes.The results of this study show that changes in load and throttle output voltage affect current consumption and BLDC motor speed. The highest current consumption is achieved when the vehicle is loaded with 80 kg and using mode 1 at 3.5309 A. The lowest current consumption is achieved when the vehicle is loaded with 60 kg and using mode 3 at 1.4403 A. The highest rotational speed is obtained in mode 1 with a 60 kg load at 219.341 rpm. The lowest rotational speed is obtained in mode 3 with an 80 kg load at 141.37 rpm.

Published: January 2025

Bisphenol A (BPA) poses a significant environmental threat due to its widespread use as an industrial chemical and its classification as an environmental endocrine disruptor. The urgent need for effective BPA removal has driven research toward innovative solutions. In this study, we present the synthesis and application of a novel 2D-3D spherically hierarchical Zn5In2S8 (ZIS) photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of BPA under visible light for the first time. Compared to the conventional g-C3N4 photocatalyst, ZIS exhibits enhanced optical and electrical properties, leading to remarkable photocatalytic performance, with an apparent reaction rate constant of 2.36 h⁻1, 6.56 times greater than that of g-C3N4. This efficacy allows for the degradation of 99.9% of BPA in just 2 h. The photocatalytic mechanism of ZIS was elucidated through various material characterizations and photoelectrochemical assessments, demonstrating improved light absorption and efficient charge separation as key factors facilitating BPA degradation. Notably, ZIS maintains high photocatalytic activity and stability over multiple cycles, indicating its potential as a sustainable photocatalyst. These findings not only contribute to the development of efficient photocatalysts for environmental remediation but also underscore the significant role of Zn5In2S8 in photocatalysis and solar energy conversion.

BackgroundFor severe systemic rheumatic diseases (SRDs), therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) may be applied as a rescue therapy; it usually combined with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) in severe SRDs. However, the necessity of this combination treatment strategy in SRDs remains uncertain.ObjectiveThis retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of TPE alone versus TPE combined with IVIG/IVMP in treating severe SRDs.MethodsPatients with severe SRDs treated with TPE who were admitted to the department of intensive care unit (ICU) from January 2011 to December 2019 were included. These patients were divided into two groups: the TPE-alone group (TPE group) and the TPE plus IVIG/IVMP group (TPE + IVIG/IVMP group). The patients’ clinical characteristics, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, the 28-day mortality rate, and the length of ICU stay were evaluated in the two groups.ResultsNinety-one patients were enrolled in this study: 51 patients in the TPE group and 40 patients in the TPE + IVIG/IVMP group. In the TPE group, the median age was 51.39 ± 15.34 years, and 64.71% were women. In the TPE + IVIG/IVMP group, the median age of the patients was 42.93 ± 16.56 years, and 75% were women. The infection rate in the TPE + IVIG/IVMP group was significantly higher than that in the TPE group (P &lt; 0.05). Both the 28-day mortality and the length of ICU stay did not differ statistically between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05).ConclusionThis study showed no benefit of combing IVIG/IVMP with TPE in improving the outcome of patients with severe SRDs, suggesting that IVIG/IVMP may not be necessary when used conjunction with TPE for the treatment of severe SRDs.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed oncological treatment by modulating immune responses against tumors. However, their efficacy is subject to inter-patient variability and is associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The human gut microbiota, a complex microbial ecosystem, is increasingly implicated in modulating responses to ICIs. This bibliometric analysis examines the 100 most-cited articles to elucidate trends and advancements in research concerning the gut microbiota’s impact on ICI efficacy.MethodsA systematic literature retrieval was conducted within the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), focusing on the 100 most-cited articles. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were utilized for bibliometric analysis, examining collaborative patterns and keyword co-occurrences. The relationship between citing and cited entities was analyzed, and burst ranking identified research hotspots based on citation frequency.ResultsThe 100 most-cited publications encompassed a range of disciplines, with a predominance of oncological research. The United States and China were leading in publication volume, with France and Canada also contributing significantly. French institutions, particularly INSERM and Université Paris Cite, were prolific. Routy, Bertrand and Zitvogel, Laurence were prominent among high-impact authors. Dominant keywords included “gut microbiota,” “immunotherapy,” “efficacy,” and “cancer.” The article by Routy et al. (2018) was the most frequently cited.ConclusionsThis study highlights the significant role of the gut microbiota in ICI development and efficacy, emphasizing the necessity for international and interdisciplinary collaboration. The research is progressively focusing on managing immunotherapy side effects and optimizing treatment strategies. Challenges, including individual variability in gut microbiota composition, persist. Further research is imperative to exploit the potential of the gut microbiota in cancer therapy, advocating for personalized approaches and a more profound comprehension of the underlying mechanisms.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundSalmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) infection can cause inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, leading to gastroenteritis, fever and other diseases in humans and animals. More and more studies have emphasized the broad prospects of probiotics in improving inflammation and oxidative stress, but the ability and mechanism of Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA) to alleviate the inflammatory/oxidative reaction caused by pathogens are still unclear.Methods and resultsIn this study, we treated the mice with LA for 14 days, infected them with S. Typhimurium for 24 h, and sacrificed the mice to collect samples. We found that the early intervention of LA alleviated the pathological injury and reversed the down-regulation of the duodenal and hepatic tight junction protein mRNA levels caused by S. Typhimurium infection. Compared with S. Typhimurium group, LA early intervention increased the expression of antioxidant enzymes, but decreased the levels of serum malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Additionally, LA early intervention significantly increased Nrf2 mRNA expression in the liver and decreased Keap1 mRNA expression in the duodenum compared to the S. Typhimurium group. Furthermore, early LA treatment reduced the abundance of Bacteroides acidificiens, increased the abundance of Akkermansia, and alleviated the decrease in SCFAs levels in the cecum of S. Typhimurium-infected mice. Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was a certain correlation between cecal flora and serum indicators and short chain fatty acids.ConclusionTaken together, the results indicate that LA early intervention may alleviates S. Typhimurium-induced inflammation and oxidative responses in mice by activating the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 signaling pathway and regulating the gut microbial community.Significance and impact of the studyExploring the ability of LA to resist animal oxidative stress and microflora regulation caused by pathogenic microbes, so as to provide more options for developing healthy disease-resistant feed additives.
