BackgroundIn the present work, we aimed to explore the correlated factors of quality of life in patients receiving lumbar fusion for lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) in China.MethodsA total of 180 patients treated with lumbar fusion were included in the present study. Their general demographic characteristics, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ), and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (MOS SF-36) were collected and evaluated preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively.ResultsThere were significant improvements in scores of VAS, JOA, and quality of life of patients from preoperation to 1-year postoperation after lumbar fusion. Marital status, with or without children, education level, economic pressure, and social support had significant predictive effects on the physical health of patients undergoing lumbar fusion. Marital status, education level, and economic pressure had significant predictive effects on the mental health of patients undergoing lumbar fusion.ConclusionsFactors correlated with the physical health of patients after lumbar fusion included positive coping style, negative coping style, social support, age, education level (high school college), disease duration (5–10), suffering from other diseases (combined with two or more other disease) and the number of surgical segments (double and three or more). Factors correlated with the mental health included negative coping style, social support, age, education level (middle school and high school college) and the number of surgical segments (double and three or more). The results verify that these factors were correlated to the patient’s quality of life after lumbar fusion. Emphasizing and selectively intervening these correlated factors can further improve the quality of life in patients receiving lumbar fusion for lumbar degenerative disc disease.

Published: January 2023

Background: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) is a rare subtype of mature T and natural killer cell lymphomas associated with Epstein-Barr virus.Case: A 20-year-old presented with severe neurological symptoms and was diagnosed with stage IV ENKL, nasal type, with CNS involvement. Overall, the patient received nine treatment lines, including chemotherapy, craniospinal irradiation, allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT), donor lymphocyte infusions, and novel agents (Nivolumab, Daratumumab, Thalidomide, Lenalidomide, virus-specific T cells) combined with intrathecal chemotherapy. The treatment effect was evaluated in both blood and CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). First-line SMILE chemotherapy resulted in systemic and CNS remission. Later Cytarabine-based chemotherapy and Daratumumab combination helped to reinduce remission before alloSCT.Conclusion: We show that efficacy monitoring should include both blood and CSF analysis. High-dose Cytarabine-based chemotherapy in combination with Daratumumab and intrathecal chemotherapy may be considered as salvage CNS-directed therapies. We add to existing limited data that Daratumumab penetrates the blood-brain barrier.

Calcium-sensitive caseins are the main protein component of milk. In the goat, they are encoded by three genes (CSN1S1, CSN2, and CSN1S2) located on chromosome 6. A high number of alleles has been discovered for these genes in the goat species, responsible for changes in the milk’s qualitative and quantitative characteristics. This study aimed to develop an Allele-Specific PCR (AS-PCR), which allowed us to unequivocally detect goat carriers of the CSN201 allele. Subsequently, the calcium-sensitive casein loci genotype was investigated in three native goat breeds of the Lazio Region (Bianca Monticellana, Capestrina, and Ciociara Grigia). No individuals were carriers of the CSN1S101, CSN1S1E, CSN201, CSN1S2D, and CSN1S20 alleles, while a high frequency of the alleles CSN1S1F and CSN1S1A*,B* was observed. Association analyses between the different genotypes at the CSN1S1 locus and some milk traits, namely the fat and protein yielded and the fat, protein, solids-not-fat, and casein percentages without an effect on the milk yield, were observed.
Taxonomic Revision of Tribe Aleurocanthini Takahashi 1954 stat. rev. Using Consortium Gene Analysis (Mito-Nuclear-Primary Endosymbiont) with the First Evidence for Mitochondrial Recombination in Whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
Authors: Andrianto Eko , Kasai Atsushi 
Published: January 2023

The discovery of the Aleurocanthus cf. Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Tea spiny whitefly spiniferus morphotype; previously found in Tokyo) for the first time in Shizuoka Prefecture raised the possibility that this species had invaded Honshu Island, Japan. Unlike the allied species, Aleurocanthus spiniferus and A. camelliae, which have been intercepted from China to Japan, the origin of the current species remains unclear. Despite the status of this species as a minor pest on the ornamental plant, Eurya japonica, the cryptic diversity among the black spiny whitefly is fascinating to be elucidated, specifically how the primary endosymbiont of whiteflies, Portiera aleyrodidarum, coevolved and contributed to the classification of whiteflies. The current study examines the taxonomic status of five species of whiteflies, i.e., A. spiniferus (Quaintance), Aleurocanthus aff. A. camelliae, Aleurocanthus cf. A. spiniferus, A. camelliae Kanmiya and Kasai, Aleurotrachelus camelliae Kuwana, and A. ishigakiensis Takahashi. Using consortium molecular typing targeting mitochondrial DNA (COI and 16S of mitoribosome), the nuclear gene (ITS1), and the ribosomal gene of Portiera, the phylogenetic clustering analysis has been conducted and revealed that the genus Aleurotrachelus sensu lato was clustered together with Aleurocanthini Takahashi, 1954 stat. rev. and reinstated Crenidorsum ishigakiensis comb. nov. due to crescent-shaped scallops being clearly defined. The current study also unveiled several putative species in the A. spiniferus species complex, molecularly. In addition, the recombination event was not detected in Portiera but has been detected in the mtCOI genes of the A. spiniferus cryptic species and the A. woglumi sequences deposited in the NCBI database. The mitochondrial recombination gives an insight into the speciation process among this species complex.
Sentencias judiciales patriarcalistas y violencia simbólica en contra de las víctimas de abusos sexuales
Authors: Valle Franco Alex Iván , Bolaños Rosa Andrea , Carrión Mena Diana 
Published: January 2023

El presente artículo analiza la influencia del sistema patriarcalista en las decisiones judiciales relativas a violencia sexual. Para ello, en primer lugar, se describen los antecedentes históricos relacionados con el monopolio de la fuerza estatal y sus mecanismos de control social. Posteriormente, se hace el análisis del sometimiento social, la exclusión y la discriminación de la mujer y los mecanismos de control sobre sus cuerpos. En ese mismo marco, se revisa el rol del derecho como mecanismo normalizador del patriarcalismo y de dominación masculina a través del análisis de varias sentencias judiciales.
Las sentencias judiciales se han escogido de cuatro países, con base a la connotación pública de los casos y sus contenidos patriarcalistas, los cuales encajan en los criterios dados por la Relatoría Especial de Derechos de la Mujer de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, entre estos destacan: la descalificación de las víctimas, minimización de las agresiones, el traslado de responsabilidad a las víctimas, las violaciones a sus derechos, y la revictimización.
Ante este panorama, se recomienda un cambio de enfoque en la creación y aplicación de políticas públicas en el sector de la justicia, en especial, capacitación a los operadores de justicia y servidores de la fuerza pública, y por supuesto, a las sobrevivientes de violencia para fomentar su empoderamiento, sin olvidar la implementación de mecanismos de reparación integral.

O câncer de mama é uma realidade no cotidiano da prática clínica, o tratamento utilizado para o câncer de mama depende da extensão da doença e suas características sendo muito utilizado a cirurgia de mastectomia para a retirada do tumor. A realização da mastectomia ocasiona uma série de efeitos físicos, sociais e emocionais os quais afetam a qualidade de vida e a imagem corporal das mulheres mastectomizadas. Objetivo: analisar as repercussões da alteração corporal propiciada pela cirurgia de mastectomia na mulher diagnosticada com câncer de mama. Métodos: Trata-se de um relato de caso com abordagem mista. Utilizou-se para coletar os dados uma entrevista semiestruturada, escala de satisfação corporal e o questionário de qualidade de vida Study's Short Form-36 (SF-36). Resultados: nos temas direcionados durante a entrevista, foi exposto o desconhecimento sobre câncer de mama e o tratamento, a dificuldade em aceitar o corpo, as limitações ocasionadas pela doença, porém, também o alívio em entender que a doença foi eliminada. A escala de satisfação corporal somou aos achados da entrevista mostrando uma satisfação mediana com cintura, tórax/seio, tônus muscular, coxas, pernas e peso. O questionário de qualidade de vida evidenciou comprometimento nos domínios de limitação por aspectos emocionais, vitalidade e limitação por aspectos físicos, mas o domínio mais preservado foi o de dor. Conclusão: As repercussões causadas pela alteração corporal provocadas pela cirurgia de mastectomia estão relacionadas com aceitação da nova imagem, superação das limitações físicas e tem efeito sobre a qualidade de vida.

Published: January 2023

<p><strong>S</strong>ingle <strong>I</strong>mage <strong>D</strong>eraining task aims at recovering the rain-free background from an image degraded by rain streaks and rain accumulation. For the powerful fitting ability of deep neural networks and massive training data, data-driven deep SID methods obtained significant improvement over traditional ones. Current SID methods usually focus on improving the deraining performance by proposing different kinds of deraining networks, while neglecting the interpretation of the solving process. As a result, the generalization ability may still be limited in real-world scenarios, and the deraining results also cannot effectively improve the performance of subsequent high-level tasks (e.g., object detection). To explore these issues, we in this paper re-examine the three important factors (i.e., <em>data</em>, <em>rain model</em> and <em>network architecture</em>) for the SID problem, and specifically analyze them by proposing new and more reasonable criteria (i.e., <em>general vs. specific,synthetical vs. mathematical, black-box vs. white-box</em>). We also study the relationship of the three factors from a new perspective of data, and reveal two different solving paradigms (<em>explicit vs. implicit</em>) for the SID task. We further discuss the current mainstream data-driven SID methods from five aspects, i.e., training strategy, network pipeline, domain knowledge, data preprocessing, and objective function, and some useful conclusions are summarized by statistics. Besides, we profoundly studied one of the three factors, i.e., data, and measured the performance of current methods on different datasets through extensive experiments to reveal the effectiveness of SID data. Finally, with the comprehensive review and in-depth analysis, we draw some valuable conclusions and suggestions for future research. </p>

Signal-Flow-Graph Analysis of Weakly Nonlinear Microwave Circuits around a Large-Signal Operating Point

Published: January 2023

<p>Signal flow graph (SFG) representation of small-signal responses of nonlinear microwave circuits around a large-signal operating point is developed using the X-parameters. It is shown that, unlike the SFGs for linear circuits, negative-frequency nodes need to be included explicitly. The development elucidates the circuit-operational meaning of the elusive T-type small-signal X-parameters, which represent interaction between positive- and negative-frequency components. As an example, such an SFG is used to derive a closed-form expression of the output power of an amplifier as a function of the load reflection coefficient. It is then used to plot approximate load-pull power contours. The result is consistent with the expressions of the optimum load reflection coefficient derived by Root et al. (EuMIC 2017) and of power contours derived by Peláez-Pérez et al. (TMTT 2013). SFGs provide an alternative systematic means to derive closed-form expressions in terms of X-parameters and to gain illuminating insights into the workings of weakly nonlinear circuits. </p>

<p>Purpose: Robot-assisted ultrasound (US) systems could be used to provide a non-radiative three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction that can form the basis for guiding spine surgical procedures. Despite promising studies on this technology, there are few studies that offer insight into the robustness and generality of the approach by e.g. verifying performance in various testing scenarios. Therefore, this study provides an assessment of the robot-assisted US system, with technical details from experiments starting at the bench-top up to the pre-clinical study.</p>
<p>Methods: A semi-automatic control strategy is proposed to ensure continuous and smooth scanning. Next, a method based on U-Net was developed to automatically process the anatomic features and derive a high quality 3D US reconstruction. Experiments on phantoms and human cadavers validate the proposed approach.</p>
<p>Results: Average deviations of scanning force were found of 2.84 ± 0.45 N on synthetic phantoms and of 5.64 ± 1.10 N on human cadavers. The reconstruction yielded a mean 3D representation error of 1.28 ± 0.87 mm for the synthetic phantoms and of 1.74 ± 0.89 mm for the human cadavers.</p>
<p>Conclusion: These results show the proposed system has high safety performance and could keep the probe force stable within the range of 1 N to obtain a good reconstruction. The experiments indicate that the proposed robotassisted US approach works in quite different experimental settings. The results encourage to also explore the potential of this technology in in-vivo studies.</p>
