Published: February 2023

ObjectiveScaling evidence-based interventions (EBIs) from pilot phase remains a pressing challenge in efforts to address health-related social needs (HRSN) and improve population health. This study describes an innovative approach to sustaining and further spreading DULCE (Developmental Understanding and Legal Collaboration for Everyone), a universal EBI that supports pediatric clinics to implement the American Academy of Pediatrics' Bright Futures™ guidelines for infants' well-child visits (WCVs) and introduces a new quality measure of families' HRSN resource use.MethodsBetween August 2018 and December 2019, seven teams in four communities in three states implemented DULCE: four teams that had been implementing DULCE since 2016 and three new teams. Teams received monthly data reports and individualized continuous quality improvement (CQI) coaching for six months, followed by lighter-touch support via quarterly group calls (peer-to-peer learning and coaching). Run charts were used to study outcome (percent of infants that received all WCVs on time) and process measures (percent of families screened for HRSN and connected to resources).ResultsIntegrating three new sites was associated with an initial regression of outcome: 41% of infants received all WCVs on time, followed by improvement to 48%. Process performance was sustained or improved: among 989 participating families, 84% (831) received 1-month WCVs on time; 96% (946) were screened for seven HRSN, 54% (508) had HRSN, and 87% (444) used HRSN resources.ConclusionAn innovative, lighter-touch CQI approach to a second phase of scale-up resulted in sustainment or improvements in most processes and outcomes. Outcomes-oriented CQI measures (family receipt of resources) are an important addition to more traditional process-oriented indicators.

Introduction: During recent years magnetosheath plasma structures called “jets” are identified in spacecraft data as localized regions in the magnetosheath where the dynamic pressure is enhanced compared to the background. Although the nomenclature and detection algorithms vary from author to author, magnetosheath jets are part of a larger class of phenomena which can be globally called magnetosheath irregularities. In this review we focus on elements of jets phenomenology less discussed in the literature, though sustained by theoretical models for solar wind magnetosphere interaction, numerical studies based on Vlasov equilibrium models or kinetic numerical simulations.Methods: The self-consistency of magnetosheath jets and the preservation of their physical identity (shape and physical properties), implicitly assumed in many recent experimental studies, is discussed in modelling and simulations studies and results as a consequence of kinetic processes at the edges of the jets. These studies provide evidence for the fundamental role played by a polarization electric field sustaining the forward motion of the jet with respect to the background plasma. Another natural consequence is the backward motion of surrounding magnetosheath plasma at the edges of jets. The conservation of magnetic moment of ions leads to a decrease of jets forward speed when it moves into increasing magnetic field. Our review is complemented by an analysis of magnetosheath data recorded by Cluster in 2007 and 2008. We applied an algorithm to detect jets based on searching localized enhancements of the dynamic pressure.Results: This algorithm identifies a number of 960 magnetosheath jets (354 events in 2007 versus 606 events in 2008). A statistical analysis of jet plasma properties reveals an asymmetric distribution of the number of jets as well as a dawn-dusk asymmetry of jets temperature and density. The perturbative effects of jets on the background magnetosheath density/temperature are stronger in the dusk/dawn flank. We also found evidence for deceleration and perpendicular heating of jets with decreasing distance to the Earth. The braking of jets is correlated with the variation of the magnetic field intensity: the stronger the magnetic field gradient, the more efficient is the jet breaking.

Published: February 2023

BackgroundPhysically active status is an important contributor to individual health. Walking is regarded as commonly accepted exercise for exercise promotion. Particularly, interval fast walking (FW), consisting of alternating between fast and slow walking speeds, has gained popularity from practical viewpoints. Although previous studies have determined the short- and long-term effects of FW programs on endurance capacity and cardiovascular variables, factors affecting these outcomes have not been clarified. In addition to physiological variables, understanding of mechanical variables and muscle activity during FW would be a help to understand characteristics of FW. In the present study, we compared the ground reaction force (GRF) and lower limb muscle activity between fast walking (FW) and running at equivalent speeds.MethodEight healthy men performed slow walking (45% of the maximum walking speed; SW, 3.9 ± 0.2 km/h), FW (85% of the maximum walking speed, 7.4 ± 0.4 km/h), and running at equivalent speeds (Run) for 4 min each. GRF and average muscle activity (aEMG) were evaluated during the contact, braking, and propulsive phases. Muscle activities were determined for seven lower limb muscles: gluteus maximus (GM), biceps femoris (BF), rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), gastrocnemius medialis (MG), soleus (SOL), and tibialis anterior (TA).ResultsThe anteroposterior GRF was greater in FW than in Run during the propulsive phase (p &lt; 0.001), whereas the impact load (peak and average vertical GRF) was lower in FW than in Run (p &lt; 0.001). In the braking phase, lower leg muscle aEMGs were higher during Run than during SW and FW (p &lt; 0.001). However, in the propulsive phase, soleus muscle activity was greater during FW than during Run (p &lt; 0.001). aEMG of tibialis anterior was higher during FW than during SW and Run in the contact phase (p &lt; 0.001). No significant difference between FW and Run was observed for HR and RPE.ConclusionThese results suggest that the average muscle activities of lower limbs (e.g., gluteus maximus, rectus femoris, and soleus) during the contact phase were comparable between FW and running, however, the activity patterns of lower limb muscles differed between FW and running, even at equivalent speeds. During running, muscles were mainly activated in the braking phase related to impact. In contrast, during FW, soleus muscle activity during the propulsive phase was increased. Although cardiopulmonary response was not different between FW and running, exercise using FW might be useful for health promotion among individuals who cannot exercise at high-intensity.

Published: February 2023

BackgroundIndocyanine green (ICG) is a nontoxic, albumin-bound, liver-metabolized fluorescent iodide dye that has been widely utilized in clinical applications since the mid-1950s. However, after the 1970s, in-depth research on the fluorescence properties of ICG greatly expanded its application in the medical field.MethodsIn our mini-review, we searched the relevant literature on common oncology surgeries from PubMed, including lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, and pituitary tumors, using keywords such as indocyanine green, fluorescence imaging technology, and near-infrared fluorescence imaging. In addition, the application of targeted ICG photothermal technology in tumor therapy is briefly mentioned.ResultsIn this mini-review, we analyzed studies on ICG fluorescence imaging in common surgical oncology and offered a thorough analysis of each form of cancer or tumor.ConclusionICG has demonstrated significant potential in the detection and treatment of tumors in current clinical practice, although many applications are still in the preliminary stages, and multicenter studies are still required to more precisely define its indications, effectiveness, and safety.

Abstract
We have designed a gripper for scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) based on atomic force microscopy, which is optimized for impedance-matching structures and high-frequency microwave loss. The gripper is simple in construction and highly integrated. The return loss near the target operating frequency of 20 GHz is less than −30 dB. The minimum detected power reach −40 dBm with the order of nW. The microwave scanning image of the sample surface structure was experimentally tested, showing that the gripper can be applied to microwave scanning imaging. The research results have contributed to the development of SMM.

Published: February 2023

With the increasing number of vehicles in modern cities, traffic
surveillance via cameras on roads has become an important application.
Cities have installed thousands of cameras on roads, which send video
feeds to a cloud center to run computer vision algorithms. This
requires high bandwidth. Current techniques reduce the bandwidth
requirement by either sending a limited number of frames/pixels/regions
or relying on re-encoding the important parts of the video. This
requires running DNNs to extract important portions in a frame so that
they can be again sent at a higher resolution from the camera to the
server. This has the disadvantage of imposing significant overhead on
the camera side compute, as re-encoding is known to be expensive, and
makes the system less real-time. In this work, we propose VISTA, a
system that utilizes tile sampling, where a limited number of
rectangular areas within the frames, known as tiles, are sent to the
server. We then propose an adaptive tile sampling algorithm, that
estimates the presence of moving objects by comparing the statistics of
the tiles’ bitrate (in kbps) and then decide to retain only the
necessary tiles, thus eliminating the requirement to use a DNN at the
camera side. We evaluate VISTA on different datasets having 56 videos in
total to show that on average our technique reduces
$17$-$40$\% of the total amount of data sent to the
cloud while providing a detection accuracy of over
$85\%$. Furthermore, VISTA also runs in real-time even
on cheap edge devices like Raspberry Pi and nVidia Jetson Nano. Further,
it requires minimal calibration compared to prior works.

Phytotoxic Effects of Eucalyptus globulus leaf extract on seed germination and seedling growth of Vicia
Authors: Singh R. B. , Das U. C. 
Published: February 2023

Eucalyptus globulus L.(Myrtaceae) stared as antisocial tree for social forestry (Kohli, 1987) is commonly transplanted through out India on roadsides, bare lands and boundaries of crop fields without considering its allelopathic effects on crop plants, especially cereals and pulses. The aerial parts, especially leaves of this tree contain volatile tarpenes (Del Moral and Muller, 1970), water soluble toxins and growth inhibitors. (Grummer and Beyer, 1960 and Al-Mousawi, Al-Naib,1976 and Pandhy et al. 1992). Toxic effects of different concentrations of leaf extract of Eucalyptus globulus (Viz-5,10, 15, 20 & 25 percent) was studied on percentage of seed germination,their survival, growth of radical and plumule and establishment of secondary roots on three species of Vicia-V. narborensis, Vicia benghalensis. and V. faba.In the present investigation each concentration showed inhibitory effects of the above parameters which gradually increases with increasing concentra- tions of the leaf extract. Delayed germination was also noticed in the treated seeds. Vicia narborensis proved to be more sensitive to these toxic leachates than the other two species. The above findings clearly showed that the transplantation of Eucalyptus species on boundaries of crop plants should be totally banned. Further investigation on its Cytotoxic effect (if any) is in progress.

Influence of Star paper mill effluent of different concentration on biomass and yield production of four agricultural crop i.e. Solanum melongena (Brinjal), Cicer arietinum ( Black gram), Glycine max (Soyabean)and Lycopersicon esculentum (Tomato) was investigated in the field condition. Variable behaviour on pattern of seed germination , root length, shoot length , root and shoot ratio was recorded . Similiarly all four crops showed variability with concentration of dose and yield production at harvesting stage.Biomass production was better in control ( only tap water) than plot irrigated up to 10% with effluent but was found suitable at 25% and after that it was deleterious for brinjal crop. However effluent was suitable at 5% dose of black gram and after that it showed adverse effect. Adverse effect of effluent on biomass production was recorded at all different concentration used in soyabean crop, but effluent above 50 % concentration showed a positive response for L. esculentum crop.Similiarly crop yield in terms of number of fruits / plant and weight of fruits per plant showed variability for their treated dose. Number of fruits and their weight in Brinjal was found better in enhanced trend till 25% and after that deleterious effect was noted while black gram respond positively only at 5% concentration. Similiarly maximum yield was found in soyabean at 5% concentration and above that deleterious effect was recorded. Progressive and positive trend at all concentration in weight of tomato fruit per plant was found.

Anethole attenuates lung cancer progression by regulating the proliferation and apoptosis through AKT and STAT3 signaling
Authors: Kumar Venkata , Venkateswarulu Maddula 
Published: February 2023

Background: The main constituent of fennel, anethole, exerts beneficial effects in many diseases, including antiproliferative and tumoricidal capacities. This study aimed to investigate the effect of anethole on the human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, A549, and the related molecular mechanisms.
Methods: The proliferation was assessed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and colony formation assays. Apoptosis situation was determined using fluorescence-activated cell sorting and DNA fragmentation assay combined with immunoblotting assay probing-related protein expression. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases-protein kinase B (PI3K-AKT) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling proteins were evaluated using immunoblotting. Xenograft model was constructed to determine the tumor volume and weight and to evaluate the expression of Ki67 via immunohistochemistry and cleaved caspase 3 via immunoblotting.
Results: Anethole inhibited proliferation and clonal growth of A549 cells. The promotion of A549 cell apoptosis by anethole was evidenced by increased apoptotic ratio, abundant DNA fragments, and caspase-3 activation. Key proteins in PI3K-AKT and STAT3 signaling pathways were decreased in anethole group. Additionally, xenografted tumors in anethole group retarded with decreased Ki67 and increased cleaved caspase 3 expression.
Conclusions: Anethole induced tumor cell apoptosis and retarded cell proliferation. AKT and STAT3 signaling pathways might be involved in the effects of anethole. Our findings highlight the feasibility of anethole in the treatment of lung cancer.
