Published: May 2022

AbstractCurrently, robot-assisted latissimus dorsi muscle flap (RLDF) surgery is used in treating patients with Poland syndrome and for breast reconstruction. However, conventional RLDF surgery has several inherent issues. We resolved the existing problems of the conventional system by introducing the da Vinci single-port system in patients with Poland syndrome. Overall, three patients underwent RLDF surgery using the da Vinci single-port system with gas insufflation. In the female patient, after performing RLDF with silicone implant, augmentation mammoplasty was also performed on the contralateral side. Both surgeries were performed as single-port robotic-assisted surgery through the transaxillary approach. The mean operating time was 449 (335–480) minutes; 8.67 (4–14) minutes were required for docking and 59 (52–67) minutes for robotic dissection and LD harvesting. No patients had perioperative complication and postoperative problems related to gas inflation. The single-port robot-assisted surgical system overcomes the drawbacks of previous robotic surgery in patients with Poland syndrome, significantly shortens the procedure time of robotic surgery, has superior cosmetic outcomes in a surgical scar, and improves the operator's convenience. Furthermore, concurrent application to another surgery demonstrates the possibility in the broad application of the robotic single-port surgical system.

Abstract
Background Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is allegedly associated with a higher risk of complications of combined nipple-sparing or skin-sparing mastectomy and subpectoral direct-to-implant immediate breast reconstruction ([N]SSM/SDTI-IBR). For this reason, this combination is usually advised against or, even, refused in women who need to undergo PMRT. Because this advice has never been justified, we assessed the short-term complications that may potentially be associated with PMRT after [N]SSM/SDTI-IBR.
Methods We compared the complications requiring reintervention and implant loss occurring after 273 [N]SSM/SDTI-IBR that were exposed to PMRT within the first 16 postoperative weeks (interventional group) to those occurring in 739 similarly operated breasts that were not (control group). Additionally, we compared the fraction of complications requiring reintervention occurring after the onset of radiotherapy in the interventional group to that occurring after a comparable postoperative period in the control group.
Results The fraction of breasts requiring unscheduled surgical reinterventions for complications and the loss of implants did not differ significantly between both groups but significantly more reinterventions were needed among the controls (p = 0.00). The fraction of events after the onset of radiotherapy in the interventional group was higher than the fraction of events after 6.2 weeks in the control group, but not significantly so.
Conclusion We found no prove for the alleged increase of short-term complications of adjuvant radiotherapy. Therefore, we advise that these should not be considered valid arguments to advice against [N]SSM/SDTI-IBR.
Clinical Assessment of Pain and Sensory Function in Peripheral Nerve Injury and Recovery: A Systematic Review of Literature

Published: May 2022

AbstractPeripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) often present with variable symptoms, making them difficult to diagnose, treat, and monitor. When neurologic compromise is inadequately assessed, suboptimal treatment decisions can result in lasting functional deficits. There are many available tools for evaluating pain and functional status of peripheral nerves. However, the literature lacks a detailed, comprehensive view of the data comparing the clinical utility of these modalities, and there is no consensus on the optimal algorithm for sensory and pain assessment in PNIs. We performed a systematic review of the literature focused on clinical data, evaluating pain and sensory assessment methods in peripheral nerves. We searched through multiple databases, including PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar, to identify studies that assessed assessment tools and explored their advantages and disadvantages. A total of 66 studies were selected that assessed various tools used to assess patient's pain and sensory recovery after a PNI. This review may serve as a guide to select the most appropriate assessment tools for monitoring nerve pain and/or sensory function both pre- and postoperatively. As the surgeons work to improve treatments for PNI and dysfunction, identifying the most appropriate existing measures of success and future directions for improved algorithms could lead to improved patient outcomes.
The “Sombrero-Shape” Super-Thin Pedicled ALT Flap for Complete Scrotal Reconstruction Following Fournier's Gangrene

Published: May 2022

AbstractWhen the scrotal sac is entirely debrided following a Fournier gangrene, testes exposure poses unique challenges for the reconstructive surgeon. Despite the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is considered a workhorse in such context, aesthetic results are often suboptimal because of the lack of natural ptosis and patchwork appearance. We describe the use of a super-thin pedicled ALT flap for total scrotal reconstruction, modified according to a peculiar flap design and inset technique. A 42-year-old man was referred to our department for delayed total scrotal reconstruction 8 months after a Fournier gangrene extensive debridement. A super-thin pedicled ALT flap from the right thigh was designed: in the central portion of the ALT, a lateral skin paddle extension was marked to guarantee adequate posterior anchorage during insetting and ptosis of the scrotal sac. This particular flap arrangement has inspired the name “sombrero” as the shape is akin to the famous hat. No secondary refinements were needed, and the patient showed satisfying aesthetic and functional results at 12 months' follow-up. The ALT flap design “sombrero” modification proposed in this article can improve scrotum cosmesis and patient satisfaction in a single-stage single-flap procedure.
Variants of the guanine riboswitch class exhibit altered ligand specificities for xanthine, guanine, or 2′-deoxyguanosine

Published: May 2022

Significance
Numerous purines and their metabolic derivatives must be monitored for proper control of relevant metabolic pathways. In certain bacteria, some metabolic steps related to purine production or degradation are catalyzed by proteins whose production is under direct regulatory control by purine-sensing riboswitches. Four riboswitch classes selective for guanine, adenine, and 2′-deoxyguanosine (two classes) reported previously exploit a common architecture involving a three-stem junction. Here, we describe three additional classes based on this same scaffold that sense xanthine, guanine, or 2′-deoxyguanosine. Thus, some riboswitches can diversify their ligand-sensing and gene-control functions without the need to evolve entirely novel structures, which highlights a capability that could have also been exploited by ancient forms of life during the RNA World.

Significance
Origin recognition complex (ORC) is required for the initiation of DNA replication. Unlike other ORC components, the role of human Orc6 in replication remains to be resolved. We identified an unexpected role for hOrc6, which is to promote S-phase progression after prereplication complex assembly and DNA damage response. Orc6 localizes at the replication fork, is an accessory factor of the mismatch repair complex, and plays a fundamental role in genome surveillance during S phase.

Significance
BET bromodomain inhibition is therapeutic in multiple diseases; however, pan-BET inhibitors have induced significant myelosuppression and gastrointestinal toxicity, perhaps due to inhibition of both tandem bromodomains (BD) of all BET family members. However, selective inhibition of just the first BD (BD1) phenocopies pan-BET inhibitor activity in preclinical models of cancer, other diseases, and, for BRDT, in the testes for a contraceptive effect. Here, we leveraged our multibillion-molecule collection of DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) to identify BET BD1-selective inhibitors of specific chirality with high potency, stability, and good cellular activity. Our findings highlight the robustness and efficiency of the DECL platform to identify specific, potent protein binders that have promise as potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory agents and as male contraceptives.

Published: May 2022

Objective
This pilot case-control study is aimed to estimate ‘musical effort’ and ‘musical pleasantness’ in adults normal hearing (NH) and Unilateral Cochlear Implant (UCI) users via neurophysiological indices and a cognitive-behavioural approach.

Methods
7 NH and 7 UCI subjects underwent electroencephalographic (EEG) recording with two EEG indices, Approach Withdrawal (AW) and Workload (WI), and behavioural tests conducted during a forced-choice musical emotion recognition task performed in quiet and noise in two emotional conditions.

Results
Musical effort in terms of WI did not vary between conditions and groups. Inversely, for AW, statistically significant differences in noisy conditions were observed between groups, indicating a difficulty for the patients in discriminating the musical pleasantness in noise. However, self-reported data suggest the ability of UCI to cognitively evaluate the stimulus in terms of both auditory difficulty and pleasantness.

Conclusion
Findings suggest the possible relevance of the Cochlear Implant in supporting the patients’ effort in listening to music in noise, allowing a pleasant enjoyment in the quiet condition. Overall, this study appears worthy of interest and paves the way for further investigation by providing data on the neurophysiological perception of music.
Bayesian statistical inference using a regression in electrical impedance tomography
Authors: Lee Lia Jisoo , Graff Marie 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we present the formulation of Bayesian statistical inference with respect to a posterior distribution using a regression model. So the unknown parameter is set as the dependent variable and the data measurement is set as the independent variable of the regression model. The regression model is built using joint samples of the unknown parameter and the data measurements drawn from the related likelihood function and prior distribution. The regression fits an operator constructed from the so-called optimal approximation method. Naturally, the regression model defines an approximated posterior distribution and, in this regards, we call it the posterior approximated regression model (PARM). The feasibility of making Bayesian statistical inference using PARM is tested numerically. We consider the electrical impedance tomography Bayesian inverse problem on a two dimensional domain with benchmark examples. Results with varying levels of practicality and intuitive discussions are presented.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Graphene has broad prospects for application in photonic devices. However, its zero-band gap limits its nonlinear optical (NLO) properties, and thus, its application. In this study, we synthesized reduced graphene oxide modified by Mn-doped semiconductor CdS nanoparticles (RGO/CdS:Mn) via a solvothermal method to study the development of NLO properties of graphene. The structures, morphologies and basic physical properties of RGO, CdS, RGO/CdS, and RGO/CdS:Mn were characterized. The third-order optical nonlinearities were tested by the Z-scan technique using a mode-locked Nd:YAG laser operating at 532 nm with a 30 ps pulse width. The results showed that the nonlinear susceptibility and saturation absorption of RGO/CdS:Mn were 15.3 and 26 times higher than those of RGO, respectively. The mechanism of the enhancement was analyzed based on the charge transfer between and within the components, and Mn doping produced trapping effect. The significantly improved optical nonlinearity of RGO/CdS:Mn lays a foundation for its applications in photonic devices.
Calculation of charge density wave phase diagram by interacting eigenmodes method
Authors: Park Changwon 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Patterns and periods of charge density waves (CDWs) in transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit complex phase diagrams that depend on pressure, temperature, metal intercalation, or chalcogen alloying. The phase diagrams have been understood in the context of Landau free energy model which explains the lock-in behavior in the commensurate–incommensurate phase transition and rotational symmetry breaking (stripe phase) in CDW phase. Here, we present that our interatomic potential energy function has not only reproduced the above behaviors in the temperature-dependent phase diagram of monolayer H-TaSe2 without adjustable parameters, but also predict a new commensurate–commensurate phase transition. For the calculation, eigenmodes of the lattice potential were used for variables in the interatomic potential and CDWs are obtained as ground states of interacting eigenmodes. Unlike Landau model, the parameters in our potential energy function are directly calculated from first-principles. Our work explicitly shows how the aforementioned behaviors in CDW phase transition are related with the lattice anharmonicity.

Abstract
This paper presents for the first time the systematic synthesis of AgInS2 (AIS) nanocrystals (NCs) with different sizes of 2.6–6.8 nm just by controlling only the reaction temperature. The synthesis of AIS core NCs was carried out in 2 steps: (i) synthesis of Ag2S NCs and then (ii) partial exchange of Ag+ with In3+ in the template Ag2S NCs. For step (i), Ag2S NCs of different sizes were synthesized by reaction of the Ag and S precursors at different temperatures of 30 °C to 130 °C, for the same reaction time of 30 min. For step (ii), AIS NCs were created by the exchange of Ag+ with In3+ at 120 °C for 60 min. Finally, GaS

Published: May 2022

Abstract
An all-fiber passively mode-locked laser is demonstrated near the 2.0 µm wavelength region utilizing thulium/holmium-doped fiber as the gain medium and bismuthene/side-polished fiber (SPF) as saturable absorber (SA). The effect of bismuthene concentration on the performance of the generated mode-locked lasers has also been investigated. In this work, bismuthene was obtained by the exfoliation of bismuth under the ultrasonication technique. Two different concentrations of bismuthene (10 and 20 mg ml−1) were prepared to coat the SPF and be further used as SA. Based on the experimental results, the SA with 10 mg ml−1 concentration of bismuthene induced the most stable mode-locked pulses with good performance. The 10 mg ml−1 bismuthene/SPF SA produced pulses at the center wavelength of 1932.69 nm with the 3 dB bandwidth of 2.59 nm and a signal-to-noise ratio value of 63 dB. The generated pulsed laser exhibits pulse energy of 421.3 pJ, peak power of 261.4 W, and average output power of 4.613 mW. Overall, this work reveals the potential of bismuthene/SPF as an SA for generating mode-locked laser pulses, which is useful in photonics applications.

Abstract
This study measured the yields of the radionuclides 82Sr, 83(m+g)Sr, 85mSr, 85gSr, 87mSr, 81(g+0.976m)Rb,82mRb,83gRb,84(m+g)Rb, and 86(m+g)Rb produced in natSr(γ, xnyp) multiparticle reactions with bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 55, 60, and 65 MeV. The bremsstrahlung radiation was generated using the 100-MeV electron linear accelerator at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, Korea, and the reaction yields were derived from the induced activitiesmeasured using off-line γ-ray spectrometry. To obtain accurate experimental results, we performed the necessary γ-rayinterference corrections. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions obtained usingthe TALYS-1.95 statistical nuclear model code. The calculations were performed using six different level-density models to ascertain which model best fitted the experimental results. The dependence of the reaction yield on the incident bremsstrahlung energy and on the number of nucleons emitted by the photonuclear reactions was also investigated.

Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic contaminants in aquatic environments is a cost-effective, efficient, and long-term solution for environmental restoration. The capacity to fine-tune the structures and compositions of photocatalysts is vital for optimizing photocatalytic decontamination processes, as is a deep understanding of the mechanisms that govern photocatalytic interfacial molecular changes. We created a ternary TiO2/Ag/cellulose nanocomposite particle by hydrothermal process that acts as a photocatalyst for the photodegradation of congo red CR dye into mineralized small molecules
The morphology, size and crystalline structure of the TiO2 – Ag – Cellulose nanocomposite were investigated by scaning electron microscopy SEM, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction XRD respectively. Surface functional groups were analyzed using FTIR analysis. Specific surface area of the composite was characterized by BET-BJH analysis and the elemental composition of the composite was study using EDX analysis. Interestingly, the prepared TiO2 – Ag – Cellulose nanocomposites showed high catalytic degradation activity for CR dye. The photocatalytic degradation of the azo dye was monitored spectrophotometrically, a high degradation efficiency 81,76 % under visible radiation were obtained for composite after 120 min of reaction compared to 30% for pure TiO2.

Abstract
Plasma flow control technology has broad prospects for application. Compared with conventional dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators (DBD-PA), the sliding discharge plasma actuator (SD-PA) has the advantages of a large discharge area and a deflectable induced jet. To achieve the basic performance requirements of light weight, low cost, and high reliability required for UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) plasma flight experiments, this work designed a microsecond pulse plasma supply that can be used for sliding discharge plasma actuators. In this study, the topology of the primary circuit of the microsecond pulse supply is determined, the waveform of the output terminal of the microsecond pulse plasma supply is detected using the Simulink simulation platform, and the design of the actuation voltage, the pulse frequency modulation function and the construction of the hardware circuit are achieved. Using electrical diagnosis and flow field analysis, the actuation characteristics and flow characteristics of sliding discharge plasma under microsecond pulse actuation are studied, the optimal electrical actuation parameters and flow field characteristics are described.
