Published: September 2023

ImportancePre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an important tool for preventing HIV infection. However, PrEP’s impact on cardiometabolic health is understudied.ObjectiveTo examine the risk of incident hypertension and statin initiation among adult (age ≥18 years) health plan members starting PrEP with tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) compared with propensity score–matched adults taking tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective cohort study used electronic health records (EHRs) from Kaiser Permanente Southern California. Adult members starting PrEP in Kaiser Permanente Southern California between October 2019 and May 2022 were included. Propensity score matching with multiple imputation (50 matched data sets) was conducted to generate 1 TAF:4 TDF matched data sets with balanced baseline covariates.ExposuresPrEP initiation with either TAF or TDF during the study period.Main Outcomes and MeasuresIncident hypertension and statin initiation within 2 years of PrEP initiation were ascertained through blood pressure and outpatient pharmacy records, respectively. Risk differences and odds ratios (ORs) were estimated using logistic regression and g-computation.ResultsA total of 6824 eligible individuals were identified (mean [SD] age, 33.9 [10.3] years; 6618 [97%] male). This pool was used to generate 2 cohorts without baseline hypertension or statin use for matching (hypertension: n = 5523; statin: n = 6149) In both cohorts, those starting PrEP with TAF were older and were more likely to be non-Hispanic White compared with those starting with TDF. In matched analysis adjusting for baseline covariates, TAF use was associated with elevated risk of incident hypertension (TAF: n = 371; risk difference, 0.81 [95% CI, 0.12-1.50]; OR, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.05-2.56]). TAF use was also associated with elevated risk of statin initiation (TAF: n = 382; risk difference, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.37-1.33]; OR, 2.33 [95% CI, 1.41-3.85]). Subgroup analyses restricted to individuals 40 years and older at PrEP initiation showed similar results with larger risk difference in statin initiation (risk difference, 4.24 [95% CI, 1.82-6.26]; OR, 3.05 [95% CI, 1.64-5.67]).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study of people taking PrEP, TAF use was found to be associated with higher incident hypertension and statin initiation compared with TDF use, especially in those 40 years or older. Continued monitoring of blood pressure and lipids for TAF users is warranted.

AbstractWe sought to devise a rational, systematic approach for defining/grouping survival motor neuron‐targeted disease‐modifying treatment (DMT) scenarios. The proposed classification is primarily based on a two‐part differentiation: initial DMT, and persistence/discontinuation of subsequent DMT(s). Treatment categories were identified: monotherapy add‐on, transient add‐on, combination with onasemnogene abeparvovec, bridging to onasemnogene abeparvovec, and switching to onasemnogene abeparvovec. We validated this approach by applying the classification to the 443 patients currently in the RESTORE registry and explored the demographics of these different groups of patients. This work forms the basis to explore the safety and efficacy profile of the different combinations of DMT in SMA.

ObjectiveWe aimed to create a question bank about clinical factors for predicting the diagnoses of psoriatic arthritis in patients with psoriasis of various ancestries and skin tones, which can be completed entirely by patients.MethodsUtah Psoriasis Initiative participants without a psoriatic arthritis diagnosis at enrollment were observed for diagnosis during the study period. We inferred ancestry from exome sequencing data and performed Cox proportional hazards regression to identify clinical predictors of psoriatic arthritis in different ancestry groups. Based on results and literature review, we developed a question bank for assessing psoriatic arthritis risk among patients with psoriasis in various ancestries.ResultsPatient‐reported untreated psoriasis induration and history of fingernail psoriasis were associated with psoriatic arthritis in participants of European and non‐European ancestry. We developed the Psoriatic Arthritis Prediction and Identification Question Bank for Diverse Ancestries (PAPRIKA) version 1.0, which included questions regarding psoriasis characteristics, arthritis symptoms, comorbidities, family history, and demographics. PAPRIKA is accessible at http://bjfenglab.org/.ConclusionThe clinical features (untreated psoriasis induration and history of fingernail psoriasis) that can predict psoriatic arthritis in European individuals also work for non‐European individuals. PAPRIKA can be used to gather psoriatic arthritis predictive data from patients with psoriasis without provider assistance and is relevant for patients across ancestries.

Published: September 2023

AbstractUrea electrosynthesis under mild conditions has emerged as a promising alternative strategy to replace the harsh industrial HaberBosch process, which is however limited by sluggish CN coupling and low selectivity. Here, a novel mechanism based on the synergistic effect of NN bond cleavage and CN coupling for highly efficient urea production is proposed. It is found that dual vanadium atoms anchoring onto defective graphene (V2N6) can activate the adsorbed *N2, in which the stable N≡N bond can be gradually weakened until being broken after two protonation steps, with superior thermodynamic and kinetic feasibility. CO molecules can be easily adsorbed on the dissociated *NH, followed by an exothermic CN coupling to form the urea precursor *NHCONH with a low kinetic energy barrier of 0.20 eV. The dual‐atom V2N6 not only exhibits superior intrinsic activity for urea formation, with a limiting potential of −0.26 V, but also can significantly suppress the competitive N2 reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions. This study presents a new avenue for developing novel mechanisms and efficient catalysts for urea electrochemical synthesis.

Published: September 2023

AbstractLight beam carrying spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) have attracted great interest due to their great potential for high‐capacity optical communication, optical tweezers, and quantum information. However, the current detection methods suffer from the lack of robustness to misalignments in the optical system, which limits the detection accuracy and the application for off‐axis vortex array detection. Here, a high‐efficiency, broadband, and single‐layer metasurface design is proposed for alignment‐free angular momentum detection via spin‐independent astigmatic transformation (SIAT). The SAM and OAM states can be recognized from the diffraction direction and patterns, respectively. Proof‐of‐concept demonstrations are experimentally carried out on different incident beams including circular‐polarization, linear‐polarization, and vector vortex beams, as well as vortex beam arrays, showing a high diffraction efficiency of ≈81% at 1064 nm while operating within the broadband region of 900–1300 nm. The alignment‐free merit for the incident position, incident angle, and detector distance grants the device great potential for integrated quantum systems and multiparticle micromanipulation with optical tweezers.

AbstractMonitoring the real‐time quality and validity of thermo‐sensitive foods during storage and transportation can be achieved with time‐temperature indicators (TTIs). However, the available TTIs still need to be improved in terms of accuracy, recoverability, environmental tolerance, and quantitative monitoring. Here, a novel TTI based on the optical signals originating from the as‐explored Sr3Y2Ge3O12: Mn2+, Er3+ (SYGO: Mn2+, Er3+) phosphor is developed. Thanks to the fact that the release of the captured carriers is tightly related to the storage time and ambient temperature, distinct optical signals of the as‐obtained TTI under multi‐stimulus (980 nm laser irradiation, thermal stimulation, and mechanical force) can be distinguished to judge the validity of temperature‐sensitive products. This work reveals the promising potential of SYGO: Mn2+, Er3+ phosphors with cryogenic optical storage properties as advanced TTIs, especially for packaged products in cold chain logistics.
Stiffness of Contacts between Adsorbed Particles and the Surface of a QCM‐D Inferred from the Adsorption Kinetics and a Frequency‐Domain Lattice Boltzmann Simulation
Authors: Johannsmann Diethelm , Leppin Christian , Langhoff Arne 
Published: September 2023

AbstractA simulation based on the frequency‐domain lattice Boltzmann method (FreqD‐LBM) is employed to predict the shifts of resonance frequency, Δf, and half bandwidth, ΔΓ, of a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM‐D) induced by the adsorption of rigid spheres to the resonator surface. The comparison with the experimental values of Δf and ΔΓ allows to estimate the stiffness of the contacts between the spheres and the resonator surface. The contact stiffness is of interest in contact mechanics, but also in sensing because it depends on the properties of thin films situated between the resonator surface and the sphere. The simulation differs from previous implementations of FreqD‐LBM insofar, as the material inside the particles is not included in the FreqD‐LBM algorithm. Rather, the particle surface is configured to be an oscillating boundary. The amplitude of the particles' motions (displacement and rotation) is governed by the force balance at the surface of the particle. Because the contact stiffness enters this balance, it can be derived from experimental values of Δf and ΔΓ. The simulation reproduces experiments by the Krakow group. For sufficiently small spheres, a contact stiffness can be derived from the comparison of the simulation with the experiment.

Published: September 2023

AbstractL‐Sorbosone dehydrogenase (SNDH) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of 2‐keto‐L‐gulonic acid , which is a direct precursor for the industrial scale production of vitamin C. Elucidating the structure and the catalytic mechanism is essential for improving SNDH performance. By solving the crystal structures of SNDH from Gluconobacter oxydans WSH‐004, a reversible disulfide bond between Cys295 and the catalytic Cys296 residues is discovered. It allowed SNDH to switch between oxidation and reduction states, resulting in opening or closing the substrate pocket. Moreover, the Cys296 is found to affect the NADP+ binding pose with SNDH. Combining the in vitro biochemical and site‐directed mutagenesis studies, the redox‐based dynamic regulation and the catalytic mechanisms of SNDH are proposed. Moreover, the mutants with enhanced activity are obtained by extending substrate channels. This study not only elucidates the physiological control mechanism of the dehydrogenase, but also provides a theoretical basis for engineering similar enzymes.

AbstractAs key interfaces for the disabled, optimal prosthetics should elicit natural sensations of skin touch or proprioception, by unambiguously delivering the multimodal signals acquired by the prosthetics to the nervous system, which still remains challenging. Here, a bioinspired temperature‐pressure electronic skin with decoupling capability (TPD e‐skin), inspired by the high‐low modulus hierarchical structure of human skin, is developed to restore such functionality. Due to the bionic dual‐state amplifying microstructure and contact resistance modulation, the MXene TPD e‐skin exhibits high sensitivity over a wide pressure range and excellent temperature insensitivity (91.2% reduction). Additionally, the high‐low modulus structural configuration enables the pressure insensitivity of the thermistor. Furthermore, a neural model is proposed to neutrally code the temperature‐pressure signals into three types of nerve‐acceptable frequency signals, corresponding to thermoreceptors, slow‐adapting receptors, and fast‐adapting receptors. Four operational states in the time domain are also distinguished after the neural coding in the frequency domain. Besides, a brain‐like machine learning‐based fusion process for frequency signals is also constructed to analyze the frequency pattern and achieve object recognition with a high accuracy of 98.7%. The TPD neural system offers promising potential to enable advanced prosthetic devices with the capability of multimodality‐decoupling sensing and deep neural integration.

AbstractThe efficiency of antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) solar cells is still limited by significant interface and deep‐level defects, in addition to carrier recombination at the back contact surface. This paper investigates the use of lithium (Li) ions as dopant for Sb2Se3 films, using lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as a dopant medium. Surprisingly, the LiOH solution not only reacts at the back surface of the Sb2Se3 film but also penetrate inside the film along the (Sb4Se6)n molecular chain. First, the Li ions modify the grain boundary's carrier type and create an electric field between p‐type grain interiors and n‐type grain boundary. Second, a gradient band structure is formed along the vertical direction with the diffusion of Li ions. Third, carrier collection and transport are improved at the surface between Sb2Se3 and the Au layer due to the reaction between the film and alkaline solution. Additionally, the diffusion of Li ions increases the crystallinity, orientation, surface evenness, and optical electricity. Ultimately, the efficiency of Sb2Se3 solar cells is improved to 7.57% due to the enhanced carrier extraction, transport, and collection, as well as the reduction of carrier recombination and deep defect density. This efficiency is also a record for CdS/Sb2Se3 solar cells fabricated by rapid thermal evaporation.

AbstractRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune disease that causes chronic pain and serious complications, presenting a significant challenge to treat. Promising approaches for treating RA involve signaling pathways modulation and targeted therapy. To this end, a multifunctional nanosystem, TPC‐U@HAT, has been designed for RA therapy, featuring multitargeting, dual‐stimuli response, and on‐demand drug release capabilities. TPC‐U@HAT is composed of a probe/prodrug TPC, a JAK1 kinase inhibitor upadacitinib, and the drug carrier HAT. TPC is composed of an aggregation‐induced emission (AIE)‐active NIR‐II chromophore TPY and an NF‐κB/NLRP3 inhibitor caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), connected via boronic ester bond which serves as the reactive‐oxygen‐species‐responsive linker. The carrier, HAT, is created by grafting bone‐targeting alendronate and hydrophobic tocopheryl succinate onto hyaluronic acid chains, which can encapsulate TPC and upadacitinib to form TPC‐U@HAT. Upon intravenous injection into mice, TPC‐U@HAT accumulates at inflamed lesions of RA through both active and passive targeting, and the overexpressed hyaluronidase and H2O2 therein cleave the hyaluronic acid polymer chains and boronate bonds, respectively. This generates an AIE‐active chromophore for detection and therapeutic evaluation of RA via both optoacoustic imaging and NIR‐II fluorescent imaging and concomitantly releases CAPE and upadacitinib to exert efficacious therapy by inhibiting NF‐κB/NLRP3 and JAK‐STAT pathways.

AbstractCurrently, single‐atom catalysts (SACs) research mainly focuses on transition metal atoms as active centers. Due to their delocalized s/p‐bands, the s‐block main group metal elements are typically regarded as catalytically inert. Herein, an s‐block potassium SAC (K−N−C) with K‐N4 configuration is reported for the first time, which exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and stability under alkaline conditions. Specifically, the half‐wave potential (E1/2) is up to 0.908 V, and negligible changes in E1/2 are observed after 10,000 cycles. In addition, the K−N−C offers an exceptional power density of 158.1 mW cm−2 and remarkable durability up to 420 h in a Zn‐air battery. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations show that K−N−C has bifunctional active K and C sites, can optimize the free energy of ORR reaction intermediates, and adjust the rate‐determining steps. The crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) results showed that the s orbitals of K played a major role in the adsorption of intermediates, which was different from the d orbitals in transition metals. This work significantly guides the rational design and catalytic mechanism research of s‐block SACs with high ORR activity.

AbstractElectrochemical proton storage plays an essential role in designing next‐generation high‐rate energy storage devices, e.g., aqueous batteries. Two‐dimensional conjugated covalent organic frameworks (2D c‐COFs) are promising electrode materials, but their competitive proton and metal‐ion insertion mechanisms remain elusive, and proton storage in COFs is rarely explored. Here, we report a perinone‐based poly(benzimidazobenzophenanthroline) (BBL)‐ladder‐type 2D c‐COF for fast proton storage in both a mild aqueous Zn‐ion electrolyte and strong acid. We unveil that the discharged C−O− groups exhibit largely reduced basicity due to the considerable π‐delocalization in perinone, thus affording the 2D c‐COF a unique affinity for protons with fast kinetics. As a consequence, the 2D c‐COF electrode presents an outstanding rate capability of up to 200 A g−1 (over 2500 C), surpassing the state‐of‐the‐art conjugated polymers, COFs, and metal–organic frameworks. Our work reports the first example of pure proton storage among COFs and highlights the great potential of BBL‐ladder‐type 2D conjugated polymers in future energy devices.

AbstractThe first coordination‐saturated buckyball with a C60 molecule totally encased in an icosidodecahedral Cu30 in a (μ30‐(η2)30)‐fashion, namely C60@Cu30@Cl36N12, has been successfully realized by a C60‐templated assembly. The 48 outmost coordinating atoms (36Cl+12N) comprise a new simple polyhedron that is described by a ccf topology. Charge transfer from (CuI, Cl) to C60 explains the expansion of the light absorption up to 700 nm, and accounts for an ultrafast photophysical process that underpins its high photothermal conversion efficiency. This work makes a giant step forward in exohedral metallofullerene (ExMF) chemistry.
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil: assessing complex trauma in young children
Authors: Brand Matthew 
Published: September 2023

AbstractComplex trauma generally refers to a child's exposure to multiple traumatic events often within the context of an interpersonal relationship. Childhood traumatic events are commonplace and can have significant implications for physical and mental health. However, traumatic events are often not assessed by clinicians involved in their care. This paper outlines an approach to assessing complex trauma in young children in clinical settings. This approach involves an initial interview, an assessment of traumatic events and trauma symptoms in the child, an assessment of the parent–child interaction, an understanding of the child's functioning in multiple settings, and an assessment of parental trauma where relevant. Complex trauma takes time to assess and is dependent on the parent's ability to recognise and acknowledge the effect trauma has had. The paper concludes with some of the challenges when assessing complex trauma in young children in clinical settings.
