Reflective functioning and mother–infant relationships among mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder post‐therapy
Authors: Osborne Jo , Mattiske Julie , Winter Amelia , Sved Williams Anne 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe stressful nature of parenting infants exacerbates the characteristics of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Consequently, mothers with BPD tend to be emotionally dysregulated, respond impulsively to their infants, and have poorer mother–infant relationships. Few parenting interventions target the specific skill deficits observed in mothers with BPD. This study explored the differences in parental reflective functioning (PRF) and mother–infant relationship quality at baseline and following a 24‐week, group parenting intervention for mothers with BPD. PRF and mother‐infant relationship quality were assessed from quantitative (N = 23) and qualitative (N = 32) perspectives. Quantitative data (Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire) showed a significant improvement in one of the three subscales, Interest and Curiosity, between baseline and post‐intervention, and a significant moderate positive association between the subscale Certainty of Mental States and maternal‐infant interaction quality post‐intervention. Improvements in mother‐infant relationship quality were not evident from the observational measure, Nursing Child Assessment Satellite Teaching scale. In contrast, semi‐structured interview qualitative data found maternal improvements in parental reflection, coping strategies implemented post‐intervention, and quality of mother–infant relationships. Overwhelmingly positive intervention feedback suggested perceived maternal benefits of group format and skills taught. Future studies with larger sample sizes would allow further clarification of such parenting interventions for mothers with BPD.

Published: June 2023

AbstractDigital holographic microscopy as a non‐contacting, non‐invasive, and highly accurate measurement technology, is becoming a valuable method for quantitatively investigating cells and tissues. Reconstruction of phases from a digital hologram is a key step in quantitative phase imaging for biological and biomedical research. This study proposes a two‐stage deep convolutional neural network named VY‐Net, to realize the effective and robust phase reconstruction of living red blood cells. The VY‐Net can obtain the phase information of an object directly from a single‐shot off‐axis digital hologram. We also propose two new indices to evaluate the reconstructed phases. In experiments, the mean of the structural similarity index of reconstructed phases can reach 0.9309, and the mean of the accuracy of reconstructions of reconstructed phases is as high as 91.54%. An unseen phase map of a living human white blood cell is successfully reconstructed by the trained VY‐Net, demonstrating its strong generality.
Valuing the future at different temporal points: The role of time framing on discounting
Authors: Reyes‐Huerta Hugo E. , Robles Elias , dos Santos Cristiano V. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe rate of delay discounting exhibited by individuals has been experimentally altered by manipulating the way in which time is described, a specific application of the framing effect. Previous research suggests that using specific dates to describe delays tends to lower temporal discounting and change the shape of the discounting function. The main purpose of this study was to assess the influence of framing on discounting in different temporal contexts. Participants chose between hypothetical monetary gains (gains group), or between hypothetical monetary losses (losses group). Each group completed eight discounting tasks over two sessions (two choice tasks [SmallNow/SmallSoon] by two time frames [dates/calendar units] by two magnitudes. The results indicate that Mazur's model adequately described the observed discounting functions in most conditions. However, the decrease in discounting rate when both consequences were delayed only occurred when calendar units (but not dates) were used for both gains and losses. These findings suggest that framing affects the influence of a shared delay instead of changing the shape of the discounting function. Our results support the idea that time influences behavior similarly in humans and nonhumans when they choose between two delayed consequences.

AbstractScirrhous gastric cancer (SGC) is diagnosed using endoscopy and/or biopsy; however, SGC diagnosis remains challenging owing to its special growth form and morphologic features. Hence, endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA), which is minimally invasive and has a high proportion of diagnostic tissue, may be an alternative investigative modality for patients with suspected SGC. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to identify and evaluate the evidence for the efficacy and safety of EUS‐FNA in patients with suspected SGC. We conducted a systematic review using the PubMed (MEDLINE) and Ichushi‐Web (NPO Japan Medical Abstracts Society) databases and included all entries in which SGC was evaluated using EUS‐FNA in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) statement from the databases′ inception to October 10, 2022. The primary outcome was the proportion of SGC diagnosed using EUS‐FNA. In addition, we analyzed the proportion of adverse events associated with EUS‐FNA. The electronic search identified 1890 studies; overall, four studies met the selection criteria and reported data on EUS‐FNA performed on 114 patients with suspected SGC. The overall diagnostic yield of EUS‐FNA for SGC was 82.6% (95% confidence interval, 74.6–90.6%) and the statistical heterogeneity was 0% (I2 = 0%), indicating a low heterogeneity. Furthermore, the EUS‐FNA diagnostic proportion for SGC lymph node metastasis was 75–100%, indicating a high diagnostic performance. The adverse event rate of EUS‐FNA was 0%. EUS‐FNA may be an alternative investigation mode for SGC patients with negative esophagogastroduodenoscopy‐biopsy results.

Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundDetecting unknown atrial fibrillation (AF) would provide an opportunity to prevent ischemic stroke by instituting appropriate anticoagulation. Although opportunistic screening of older patients is recommended in current guidelines, which patients may benefit from intensive AF screening remains unclear. We sought to clarify the risk factor profile for newly diagnosed AF in annual health examinations of a Japanese adult cohort.MethodsAmong 141 441 Japanese patients who underwent annual health examinations in 2014, 87 872 patients aged ≥20 years without known AF who had undergone electrocardiography were analyzed (mean age: 47 ± 12 years; 64% men). The absence of known AF was confirmed by prior electrocardiography in 2012 and/or 2013. Newly diagnosed AF was observed in 244 patients in 2014–2017 (mean age: 62 ± 12 years; 83% men).ResultsIn the multivariable analysis, waist circumference obesity (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13–1.99; p = .005) high blood pressure (HR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.01–3.59; p = .047), on‐treatment hypertension (HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.01–2.31; p = .046), and daily alcohol drinking (HR, 2.18; 95% CI, 1.52–3.12; p < .001) were significantly associated with newly diagnosed AF.ConclusionsIn this Japanese cohort, waist circumference obesity, hypertension, and alcohol drinking were independent predictors of newly diagnosed AF in annual medical examinations. This finding encourages further evaluation of systematic AF screening programs in at‐risk populations.
Play and Scientific Creativity: A Critical Review and an Integrative Theoretical Framework
Authors: Shen Xiangyou 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACTEmerging empirical evidence supports play's potential to stimulate and foster scientific creativity. Focusing on how play relates to scientific creativity in adulthood, this review synthesizes the current state of knowledge in four areas: the play element in scientific research, the playfulness of scientists, mechanisms through which play affects scientific creativity, and environmental factors key to the play‐to‐create process in scientists' work. The review highlights several limitations hindering further research development in this area. Specifically, existing studies: (a) are largely qualitative and focus on descriptive analysis of the forms and/or select aspects of play, (b) do not sufficiently consider the unique characteristics and processes of scientific research, and (c) decontextualize the creative process by separating the player‐creator from the environment. Building on this analysis, the author clarifies the conceptualization of play, playfulness, and scientific creativity, differentiates between creative and recreative play in relation to core scientific activities, and identifies useful conceptual and measurement tools to facilitate future domain‐specific empirical studies of play and scientific creativity. Collectively, these insights advance a new integrative theoretical framework—the play‐to‐create model—to encourage and guide systematic and contextualized investigations of how play, playfulness, creative processes, and the environment interact to generate creative scientific outcomes.

There was a statistically significant decrease in the means of grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, and strain (p < .05). There was also a statistically significant decrease in the jitter and shimmer percent (p = .008 and p = .048, respectively) and a significant increase in the maximum phonation time from 9.63 ± 3.83 to 13.54 ± 5.92 seconds (p = .039).ConclusionThis preliminary study indicates that office‐based blue laser therapy is an effective treatment modality for vocal fold leukoplakia.
Allotments for all? Social–environmental values of urban gardens for gardeners and the public in cities: The example of Berlin, Germany
Authors: Haase Dagmar , Gaeva Dara 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Gardens in cities have been the focus of a wider public health debate in Europe's polluted and dense cities, for the elderly and considering the current COVID‐19 pandemic. Many cities report rising demand for allotment gardens by people from all age groups including young couples and families.

This study aims at quantitatively examining the bundle of ecosystem services provided by allotment gardens in Berlin, Germany. It assesses the values related to those ecosystem services' benefits for gardeners and the wider urban public and compares perceptions of the social–environmental value of allotment gardens by gardeners and non‐gardeners.

We also compare the frequency of garden visits and the perception of gardens as a crucial element of the urban ecosystem by men and women. We carried out a web‐based survey, additionally a part of the questionnaires was handed out in paper form for respondents who did not have internet access.

The resulting sample of 466 gardeners and 80 non‐gardeners shows that urban allotment gardens play an important role in food production, biodiversity conservation, but also social–environmental interactions. The variety of environmental management practices, such as installation of artificial nests for insects, sowing of special flower mixtures, leaving areas with wild vegetation, use of organic fertilizers, including crop residues, shows that most respondents among gardeners are aware of the methods aimed at maintaining biodiversity and soil fertility in their allotment. The sample's analysis further states that benefits are not only perceived by gardeners but also by non‐gardeners.

We discuss our findings against the background of the savings and sustainable enhancement of ecosystem services benefits that are created by allotment gardens for all.

Published: June 2023

AbstractPurposeTo compare the effect of denosumab and alendronate on bone mineral density (BMD) in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) with low bone mass.MethodsPatients were randomized to receive either denosumab subcutaneously (60 mg/6 months), oral alendronate (70 mg/week), or no treatment for 1 year. The three groups were prescribed daily calcium and vitamin D. Primary outcome was BMD assessed at lumbar spine, hip, and radius and measured by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA) at baseline and after 6 and 12 months. Adverse events and laboratory assessments (calcium, phosphate, vitamin D, renal functions, and intact parathyroid hormone) were monitored for all patients. Quality of life was assessed at baseline and after 6 and 12 months for all patients.ResultsNinety RTRs were included in the study (30 in each group). Baseline clinical characteristics and BMD values were comparable in the three groups. After 12 months, lumbar spine T‐score of patients treated with denosumab and alendronate showed a median increase of 0.5 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.4–0.6] and 0.5 (95% CI: 0.4–0.8), respectively, and patients in the control group showed a decrease of −0.2 (95% CI: −0.3 to −0.1), p < 0.001. Denosumab and alendronate showed a significant comparable gain in T‐scores at hip and radius versus a significant decrease in the control group. Adverse events and laboratory values were similar in the three groups. Both treatments resulted in comparable significant improvement in physical functioning, physical role limitations, vitality, and pain scores.ConclusionDenosumab and alendronate showed comparable efficacy in improving BMD at all measured skeletal sites and were safe and well‐tolerated, with no serious adverse effects reported in RTRs with low bone mass. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04169698.

Published: June 2023

AbstractIn this work, the rate‐determining steps of the OH radical + 3‐bromopropene gas phase reaction were studied, which could explain for the possible negative activation energy observed in experiments. To obtain new kinetic parameters and data for critical revisions, a reinvestigation of the rate coefficient (k) and its temperature dependence was carried out using the PLP‐LIF technique, in the 254‐ to 371‐K range. Moreover, quantum‐mechanical and canonical variational transition state theory calculations were performed, taking into consideration four OH addition and two β‐hydrogen atom abstraction reaction channels. The proposed kinetic model fits to the observed experimental Arrhenius behavior, and three not negligible reaction pathways are described for the first time.

Published: June 2023

AbstractDual‐Active‐Sites Single‐Atom catalysts (DASs SACs) are not only the improvement of SACs but also the expansion of dual‐atom catalysts. The DASs SACs contains dual active sites, one of which is a single atomic active site, and the other active site can be a single atom or other type of active site, endowing DASs SACs with excellent catalytic performance and a wide range of applications. The DASs SACs are categorized into seven types, including the neighboring mono metallic DASs SACs, bonded DASs SACs, non‐bonded DASs SACs, bridged DASs SACs, asymmetric DASs SACs, metal and nonmetal combined DASs SACs and space separated DASs SACs. Based on the above classification, the general methods for the preparation of DASs SACs are comprehensively described, especially their structural characteristics are discussed in detail. Meanwhile, the in‐depth assessments of DASs SACs for variety applications including electrocatalysis, thermocatalysis and photocatalysis are provided, as well as their unique catalytic mechanism are addressed. Moreover, the prospects and challenges for DASs SACs and related applications are highlighted. The authors believe the great expectations for DASs SACs, and this review will provide novel conceptual and methodological perspectives and exciting opportunities for further development and application of DASs SACs.
Degradation Kinetics of Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Materials from Micro‐Raman Spectroscopy and Density‐Functional Theory: The Case of β‐ZnTe(en)0.5

Published: June 2023

AbstractOrganic–inorganic hybrid materials often face a stability challenge. β‐ZnTe(en)0.5, which uniquely has over 15‐year real‐time degradation data, is taken as a prototype structure to demonstrate an accelerated thermal aging method for assessing the intrinsic and ambient‐condition long‐term stability of hybrid materials. Micro‐Raman spectroscopy is used to investigate the thermal degradation of β‐ZnTe(en)0.5 in a protected condition and in air by monitoring the temperature dependences of the intrinsic and degradation‐product Raman modes. First, to understand the intrinsic degradation mechanism, the transition state of the degradation is identified, then using a density functional theory, the intrinsic energy barrier between the transition state and ground state is calculated to be 1.70 eV, in excellent agreement with the measured thermal degradation barrier of 1.62 eV in N2 environment. Second, for the ambient‐condition degradation, a reduced thermal activation barrier of 0.92 eV is obtained due to oxidation, corresponding to a projected ambient half‐life of 40 years at room temperature, in general agreement with the experimental observation of no apparent degradation over 15 years. Furthermore, the study reveals a mechanism, conformation distortion enhanced stability, which plays a pivotal role in forming the high kinetic barrier, contributing greatly to the impressive long‐term stability of β‐ZnTe(en)0.5.
