Targeting Technology in Underserved Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: Effect of Diabetes Practice Transformations on Improving Equity in CGM Prescribing Behaviors
Authors: Mathias Priyanka , Mahali Lakshmi Priyanka , Agarwal Shivani 
Published: September 2022

<p> </p>
<p><u>Background</u>: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use is associated with improved outcomes in type 1 diabetes, but racial-ethnic disparities exist. Traditional healthcare models perpetuate inequities in CGM prescribing for underserved populations, and effect downstream use. We examined whether we could improve CGM prescribing behaviors by transforming our diabetes practice in an underserved area of New York. </p>
<p><u>Research Design and Methods</u>: From January 2019 to December 2021, we initiated several non-grant funded practice transformations targeted toward equity, including development of a type 1 diabetes clinic; training of support staff to place trial CGMs at the point of care; improving prescription workflows; and educating providers on CGM. We included multi-level stakeholders in these changes to improve feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability. To examine effect, we collected monthly aggregate data from the electronic medical record and performed linear regression to examine change in CGM prescriptions over the three years of transformation. </p>
<p><u>Results</u>: In total, we included 1, 357 adults with type 1 diabetes [mean age 38 years (±18), 30% Black (n=406), 45% Hispanic (n=612), 12% White (n=164); and 74% publicly insured (n=1004)]. CGM prescription rates increased overall from 15% to 69% (p<0.001). Improvements were seen equally among Black (12 to 72%), Hispanic (15 to 74%), and White adults (20 to 48%) (between-group p=0.053). </p>
<p><u>Conclusion</u>: Diabetes practice transformations can have powerful effects on provider prescribing behaviors to reduce root causes of inequity in CGM among underserved adults with type 1 diabetes. Continued focus is needed on upstream interventions that affect downstream determinants of CGM use. </p>

Effect of temperature change on CO2 Flux in temperate mixed forest ecosystem
Authors: Gong Yuan , Zhang Yinlong 
Published: September 2022

Forest is the main carbon sink of terrestrial ecosystem. Due to the unique growth characteristics of plants, the response of their growth status and physiological activities to climate change will affect the carbon cycle process of forest ecosystem. Based on the local scale CO2 flux and temperature observation data recorded by the FLUXNET registration site and Harvard Forest FLUX observation tower from 2000 to 2012, combined with the phenological model, this paper analyzes the impact of temperature changes on CO2 flux in temperate forest ecosystems. The results show that: (1) the maximum NEE in 2000–2012 was 298.13 g·m-2·a-1, which occurred in 2010. Except in the 2010 and 2011, the annual NEE in other years was negative. (2) NEE, GPP, temperature and phenology models have good fitting effects (R2 > 0.8), which shows that the stable period of photosynthesis in temperate mixed forest ecosystem is mainly concentrated in summer, and vegetation growth is the dominant factor of carbon cycle in temperate mixed forest ecosystem. (3) The linear fitting results of the change time points of air temperature (maximum point, minimum point and 0 point date) and the change time points of NEE and GPP (maximum point, minimum point and 0 point date) show that there is a significant positive correlation between air temperature and CO2 flux (P < 0.01), and the change of air temperature affects the carbon cycle process of temperate mixed forest ecosystem.

Published: September 2022

The structure and diversity of tree species in a temperate forest in northwestern Mexico was characterized. Nine sampling sites of 50 × 50 m (2,500 m2) were established, and a census of all tree species was carried out. Each individual was measured for total height and diameter at breast height. The importance value index (IVI) was obtained, calculated from the variable abundance, dominance and frequency. The diversity and richness indices were also calculated. A total of 12 species, four genera and four families were recorded. The forest has a density of 575.11 individuals and a basal area of 23.54/m2. The species of Pinus cooperi had the highest IVI (79.05%), and the Shannon index of 1.74.

Published: September 2022

The wave effect and the shyness phenomenon in Alnus acuminata (Kunth) are crown parameters rarely studied, but important in the quality of the wood of standing trees, therefore, a morphometric modeling of the crowns of Alnus acuminata in homogeneous forests in the Sierra Norte de Puebla was carried out. In 20 rectangular sites of 1,000 m2, the following were evaluated: total height (TA), normal diameter (ND), crown diameter (CD) and crown cover (CC). The Kruskal Wallis test was applied to data that did not meet the assumption of normality; for those that did, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used, with Tukey mean comparison tests (α ≤ 0.05). The forest value index was 14.99, so its two-dimensional structure is normal based on DN, AT and CC. Its average slenderness index was 93.52, which makes the tree not very stable to mechanical damage. The life-space index was 38.92, which is high indicating that trees with low intraspecific competition developed better. At the canopy level, a pattern following an upward, oscillatory and constant wave effect was observed in groups of 10 trees. The shyness phenomenon showed an average crack opening of 27.39 cm between canopies, so this phenomenon is well defined for the species. It is concluded that in the crowns of Alnus acuminata, the wave effect is observed as a consequence of inequality in the acquisition of resources, and one way to minimize this inequality is through the phenomenon of botanical shyness.

Published: September 2022

Objective: To study the changes of growth, physiological and absorption characteristics of Pinus bungeana under ozone (O3) stress, to elucidate the correlations among the indicators, and to determine its degree of response to O3. Methods: The growth, physiological characteristics and O3 uptake capacity of Pinus bungeana seedlings were measured in an open-top O3 fumigation manual control experiment with three concentration gradients (NF: normal atmospheric O3 concentration, NF40: normal atmospheric O3 concentration plus 40 nmlol/mol; NF80: normal atmospheric O3 concentration plus 80 nmol/mol), and the relationships between the characteristics of Pinus bungeana under different O3 concentrations were investigated with correlation analysis, redundancy analysis and analysis of variance. Results: (1) Plant height growth (ΔH), diameter growth at 50 cm (ΔDBH), stomatal size (S), stomatal density (M), stomatal opening (K), stomatal conductance (Gs), net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Et), water use efficiency (WUE), maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), chlorophyll content (CHL), whole tree water consumption (W), and O3 uptake rate () all decreased with the increase of O3 concentration; while intercellular CO2 concentration () and relative conductivity (L) increased with the increase of O3 concentration; (2) growth indicators of Pinus bungeana under O3 stress (ΔH, ΔDBH) were the most correlated with O3 uptake status (, W), followed by photosynthetic indicators (, WUE, ,, ) and growth indicators (ΔH, ΔDBH) and stomatal characteristics (K, M, S) under O3 stress, some physiological indicators (L, ) were relatively weakly correlated with photosynthesis (, WUE,,, ) and stomatal (K, M, S); (3) all the indicators of Pinus bungeana were significantly different under O3 treatments of NF and NF80 (P < 0.05), ΔH, ΔDBH, M, CHL, , , W and were most significantly different under NF and NF40 treatments, and K, S, WUE, , , , L were more significantly different under NF40 and NF80 treatments. Conclusion: The experiment proved that the growth of Pinus bungeana was slowed, photosynthetic capacity was reduced, and the absorption capacity of O3 was further reduced by long-term exposure to high concentration of O3. The growth of Pinus bungeana was most correlated with the changes of O3 absorption characteristics, and the stomatal characteristics were most correlated with photosynthetic physiological characteristics, and the reduction of photosynthetic capacity etc. further led to the curtailment of its growth.

Published: September 2022

Species of the Moraceae family are of great economic, medicinal and ecological importance in Amazonia. However, there are few studies on their diversity and population dynamics in residual forests. The objective was to determine the composition, structure and ecological importance of Moraceae in a residual forest. The applied method was descriptive and consisted of establishing 16 plots of 20 m × 50 m (0.10 ha), in a residual forest of the Alexánder von Humboldt substation of the National Institute of Agrarian Innovation-INIA, Pucallpa, department of Ucayali, where individuals of arboreal or hemi-epiphytic habit, with DBH ≥ 2.50 cm, were evaluated. The floristic composition was represented by 33 species, distributed in 12 genera; five species not recorded for Ucayali were found. Structurally, the family was represented by 138 individuals/ha with a horizontal distribution similar to an irregular inverted “J”. However, there were different horizontal structures among species. It was determined that 85% of the species were in diameter class I (2.50 to 9.99 cm), being the most abundant Pseudolmedia laevis (Ruiz & Pav.) J.F. Macbr. (41.88 individuals/ha); and the most dominant were Brosimum utile (Kunth) Oken (1.71 m2∕ha) and Brosimum alicastrum subsp. bolivarense (Pittier) C.C.Berg (0.90 m2/ha). Likewise, P. laevis and B. utile were the most ecologically important. The information from the present research will allow the establishment of a baseline, which can be used to propose the management of Moraceae in residual forests in the same study area.
Predictive Power of Social Environment, Grit, and Motivation for Creative Potential of Science Learners
Authors: Barai Bikash , Saha Rajesh Kumar 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The study was conducted on science learners at high school- and college-level to explore the interrelation of various factors from social environment, cognitive, and non-cognitive resources affecting their creative potential. A hierarchical regression method was used to determine how well positive behavior of parents, supportive behavior of friend groups, grit, motivation in science, and legislative thinking style could predict the creative potential of the science learners. The results revealed that supportive friend group behavior, consistency of interest (a sub-factor of grit), and legislative thinking style can predict the creative potential of science learners. Group variance explained by them was at over 53%. Legislative thinking style turned out to be the most dominant predictor, with 63% of unique variance explained by it. Positive friend group behavior came second, with 9% unique variance explained to the residual. Finally, consistency of interest could explain 12% of unique variance but with negative sign, implying it was not a component of the creative potential of science learners.
Arts and Creativity in Hong Kong Kindergartens: A Document Analysis of Quality Review Reports
Authors: Yeung Jerry , Bautista Alfredo , Siu Carrey Tik-Sze , Tam Po-Chi , Wong Kit-Mei 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In Hong Kong, the Education Bureau (EDB) regularly assesses the quality of services provided by publicly subsidized kindergartens to children aged 3 to 6. Quality Review (QR) reports are written by government officials and published on the EDB’s website. This study analyzes the feedback pertaining to Arts and Creativity to better understand the role this learning area plays in Hong Kong kindergartens. Lexical and content analyses were applied on 164 QR reports published between 2017 and 2020. Findings showed that: (1) the role of Arts and Creativity in the QR reports is relatively minor, which suggests that this learning area is somewhat secondary in Hong Kong kindergartens; (2) presence of the various art forms differs significantly, with Music and Visual Arts being more frequent than Drama and especially Dance; and (3) classroom activities seem to be teacher-centered, product-oriented, and reproductive. Findings suggest that the Arts and Creativity pedagogies enacted in Hong Kong kindergartens are not fully consistent with the official kindergarten Curriculum Guide, which draws on a Western conceptualization of creativity in the arts. We argue that this curriculum/practice gap reveals the need for local stakeholders to embrace a “glocalization” paradigm. Limitations, future research, and implications are discussed.

Published: September 2022

Objectives:
This study was carried out to investigate the protective role of different fractions of Epilobium hirsutum on the toxic effects of iron on hematological value in Sprague–Dawley rats.

Material and Methods:
Iron overload was induced by injecting six IP injections of iron dextran (12.5 mg/100 g) uniformly for 30 days. Different fractions of E. hirsutum were given orally and deferoxamine subcutaneously for 30 days. The hematological parameters were evaluated on 15–30 days of treatment.

Results:
The animal exposed to iron presented a significant (P < 0.01) reduction in red blood corpuscles, total and differential white blood cells, and platelet levels. This shows that the overabundance of iron in iron overloaded conditions can lead to bone marrow suppression. These influences of iron overload were prevented by concurrent daily administration of a methanolic fraction of methanolic extract and a methanolic fraction of aqueous extract of E. hirsutum.

Conclusion:
The results indicate that 300 mg/kg for 30 days shows better beneficial effects as compared to 150 mg/kg for 15 days of treatment. Our results endorsed that E. hirsutum has beneficial effects on hematological parameters in iron intoxicated Sprague–Dawley rats.
Oculomotor nerve palsy presumably caused by cisternal drain during microsurgical clipping
Authors: Sugiyama Hiroki , Tsutsumi Satoshi , Ishii Hisato 
Published: September 2022

Background:
Oculomotor nerve palsy can be caused by diverse etiologies, but no report has yet documented its association with a cisternal drain.

Case Description:
A 35-year-old woman presented with severe headache. The patient did not exhibit oculomotor nerve palsy at presentation. Cranial computed tomography (CT) revealed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient underwent open microsurgical clipping of a ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm. During surgery, a cisternal drain was placed in the basal cistern at the medial aspect of the clinoidal portion of the internal carotid artery. The patient presented with the left oculomotor nerve palsy immediately after surgery. CT revealed displacement of the cisternal drain to the lateral aspect of the anterior clinoid process. The patient’s mydriasis and sluggish light reaction recovered after 7 days, while extraocular movements persisted for 50 days. The constructive interference steady-state sequence detected the left oculomotor nerve coursing adjacent to the clinoidal internal carotid artery.

Conclusion:
Oculomotor nerve palsy can be caused by collision with a thin silastic tube placed during surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Withdrawal of the drain as early as possible is recommended when drain-associated oculomotor nerve palsy is suspected.

Published: September 2022

Objective. To study the immediate and remote results of treatment in patients with rectal fistulas, in whom Gabriel operation, Maslyak operation, and the ligature method were applied, as well as to create optimal indications to every kind of surgical intervention.
Materials and methods. Results of treatment of 50 patients, suffering rectal fistulas, were analyzed. In 6 (12.0%) patients with intersphincteric and in 26 (52.0%) with transsphincteric fistulas Gabriel operation was performed, in 9 (18.0%) patients with transsphincteric and in 5 (10.0%) with extrasphincteric fistulas – Maslyak operation. In 2 (4.0%) patients with transsphincteric and in 2(4.0%) with extrasphincteric fistulas the ligature method was applied.
Results. In 6 mo after Gabriel operation the anal sphincter insufficiency was noted in 2 (6.2%) patients with transsphincteric fistulas. Fistula’s recurrence have had occurred in 1 (7.1%) patient after Maslyak operation. Good remote results were obtained in all patients, operated with application of the ligature method.
Conclusion. There was established, that Gabriel operation results are the best for intrasphincteric fistulas. In transsphincteric fistulas application of this operation must be restricted. Maslyak operation and the ligature method are rather effective in transsphincteric and extrasphincteric fistulas – 92.9 and 100.0% good results accordingly.
