Published: September 2022

IntroductionWe report a case of abdominal compartment syndrome due to hydroperitoneum after endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery.Case presentationA 56‐year‐old woman with a left staghorn calculus underwent endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery as a two‐staged procedure and developed a distended abdomen, cyanosis of both legs, and hypotension immediately after the second operation. A computed tomography scan showed hydroperitoneum. We performed urgent laparotomy and evacuated approximately 2 L of nearly transparent fluid. No peritoneal injury was detected. Postoperatively, she required intensive care for shocked liver and acute kidney injury.ConclusionHydroperitoneum after endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery is a rare complication and may lead to abdominal compartment syndrome or a condition where intra‐abdominal pressure exceeds 20 mmHg, causing impaired organ perfusion. Delayed drainage can be fatal.

AbstractSensitive and fast detection of neutrons and gamma rays is vital for homeland security, high‐energy physics and proton therapy. However, efficient mixed‐field detection using a single material is highly challenging because fast‐neutron detectors rely on light organic scintillators, and γ‐ray detectors use heavy inorganic scintillators and semiconductors. In the cover, the authors (DOI: 10.1002/inf2.12325) illustrate organic‐inorganic hybrid perovskites that combine light organic cations and heavy inorganic skeletons at a molecular level to achieve unprecedented performance for mixed‐field radiation detection, so as to obtain the time information and energy information of the nuclear reaction process accurately.image

AbstractBackgroundPerceived stress associated with relational victimization from peers and conflictual relations with the teacher have been linked with the development of anxiety symptoms in children. Living in conditions of ongoing stress from the broader environment has also been related to anxiety symptoms in children. In this study, we examined (a) the indirect effect between classroom psychosocial stressors (i.e., relational victimization and conflictual relationships with teachers), perceived stress and anxiety symptom development, and (b) whether this indirect effect was stronger for children living in a high threat region than for children living in a lower threat region.MethodsChildren participating in the study attended elementary school either in a high threat of armed conflict region (15 s to hide in bomb shelter when alarm sounds, n = 220) or in a lower threat of armed conflict region (60 s to hide in a bomb shelter when alarm sounds, n = 188) in Israel. Children were first assessed on conflictual relationships with teachers and peers, subjectively perceived stress and anxiety in 2017 (T0; M age = 10.61 years, SD = 0.78; 45% boys) and re‐assessed (T1) 1 year later, in 2018.ResultsPerceived stress mediated the association between classroom psychosocial stressors and anxiety development. No moderation by threat‐region was found in this indirect effect. However, the association between perceived stress and anxiety development was only significant for children in the high threat region.ConclusionOur study suggests that threat of war conflict amplifies the association between perceived stress and the development of anxiety symptoms.

AbstractThe present study aims to characterize the ultrastructural roof of the oral cavity roof in juvenile and adult Epinephelus aeneus using SEM. The investigation used 10 roofs of the oral cavity of juvenile and adult stages of age. The results in both age groups showed that the roof had five tooth bands, an upper valve, and a palatine region. The upper lip was divided into the anteriorly median and two lateral parts. The posterior margin of the anterior labial part is not attached to the incisive or canine teeth. The anterior surface of the canine teeth was attached to the transverse part of the upper incisive ridge that was separated from the posterior labial part by a deep groove. The semilunar upper velum showed two surfaces, two borders, and two parts. The median part of the oral surface of the velum carried the extension of the longitudinal part of the upper incisive ridge that had some variation among the two examined age stages. In addition, the median part of the oral surface of the upper velum had two rough areas located laterally on each side of the longitudinal part of the upper incisive ridge. The oral surface had several slightly elevated fungiform papillae with taste buds. The palatine region was divided into the peripheral semilunar part and the wide median part, by palatine teeth and the palatine groove laterally and by vomer teeth anteriorly. The results provided important data for the aquaculture in Egypt in relation to their diet.

AbstractThe paper presents unknown ultrastructure observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) of aedeagus, spermatheca and ovipositor of Julodis ehrenbergii Laporte (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Julodinae) from Turkey. The studied specimens were collected from Çankırı and Çorum provinces which are new provincial records for Turkey, in July and August 2021. The genus Julodis Eschscholtz includes 49 species in the Palearctic region, while it is represented by seven species in Turkey. One of them, J. ehrenbergii Laporte is represented by only the nominate subspecies in Turkey. As known, aedeagus, spermatheca and ovipositor are taxonomically important structures. Before the present study, however, there are no work on these structures of J. ehrenbergii Laporte. For this reason, ultrastructural and detailed investigations of aedeagus, spermatheca and ovipositor of J. ehrenbergii Laporte from Turkey were firstly studied with SEM and stereo microscope to obtain new diagnostic characters in the genus Julodis Eschscholtz. The female spermatheca is found insignificant and not diagnostic but aedeagus is found important for diagnosis. In addition, the ultrastructural characters of the ovipositor can also be useful for diagnosis. Photos in SEM as well as photos in the stereo microscope are also given in the text.Highlights

AbstractMany non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) platforms screen for sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) and SCA analysis is generally included in Australia where NIPT is available as a self‐funded test. Little is known about the experience of receiving an NIPT result indicating an increased chance of SCA. This study aimed to explore the experiences of people who received this result and their perspectives on the information, care, and support they received from healthcare practitioners (HCPs). Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with people who received an NIPT result indicating an increased chance of SCA and continued their pregnancy. Most participants only had contact with a genetic counselor after receiving their result. Transcribed data were analyzed using rigorous thematic analysis to identify important patterns and themes. Participants (18 women, 2 male partners) described embarking on NIPT, primarily based on advice from their HCP and without much consideration. Consequently, participants expressed feeling unprepared for the unanticipated complexity of their NIPT result and were faced with making a time‐sensitive decision about a condition they had not previously considered. While more pre‐test information was desired, timely access to genetic counseling post‐test assisted with adjustment to the result. These findings suggest that routinization of NIPT may be compromising informed decision‐making, resulting in unpreparedness for an increased chance result. Given the increasing uptake and expanding scope of NIPT, resources should be dedicated to educating HCPs offering NIPT and ensuring timely access to genetic counseling post‐result. With appropriate funding, genetics services may be able to play a central role in offering information and support to both people who undertake NIPT and their HCPs ordering the testing. Implementing a publicly funded screening program in Australia could assist with standardizing prenatal screening care pathways and consequently better access to appropriate resources.

AbstractThe severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) caused COVID‐19 epidemic is worsening. Binding of the Spike1 protein of SARS‐CoV‐2 with the angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor mediates entry of the virus into host cells. Many reports show that protein arginine methylation by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is important for the functions of these proteins, but it remains unclear whether ACE2 is methylated by PRMTs. Here, we show that PRMT5 catalyses ACE2 symmetric dimethylation at residue R671 (meR671‐ACE2). We indicate that PRMT5‐mediated meR671‐ACE2 promotes SARS‐CoV‐2 receptor‐binding domain (RBD) binding with ACE2 probably by enhancing ACE2 N‐glycosylation modification. We also reveal that the PRMT5‐specific inhibitor GSK3326595 is able to dramatically reduce ACE2 binding with RBD. Moreover, we discovered that meR671‐ACE2 plays an important role in ACE2 binding with Spike1 of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron, Delta, and Beta variants; and we found that GSK3326595 strongly attenuates ACE2 interaction with Spike1 of the SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron, Delta, and Beta variants. Finally, SARS‐CoV‐2 pseudovirus infection assays uncovered that PRMT5‐mediated meR671‐ACE2 is essential for SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in human cells, and pseudovirus infection experiments confirmed that GSK3326595 can strongly suppress SARS‐CoV‐2 infection of host cells. Our findings suggest that as a clinical phase II drug for several kinds of cancers, GSK3326595 is a promising candidate to decrease SARS‐CoV‐2 infection by inhibiting ACE2 methylation and ACE2‐Spike1 interaction.
Estimating glacier mass balance in High Mountain Asia based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer retrieved surface albedo from 2000 to 2020

AbstractGlacier surface albedo is a key parameter of the glacier mass and energy balance process. Many scholars have used the albedo method to study mass balance for an individual glacier, but less attention has been given to large‐area glaciers. Based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) retrieved glacier surface albedo and in situ mass balance, the correlations between albedo and mass balance are reported. The minimum/mean method (the whole glacier albedo is calculated by averaging the minimum/mean albedo of each grid cell), the MODIS snow albedo products (MxD10A1) and the MCD43A3 shortwave albedo were tested during the melt season (June–August) for four glaciers in the High Mountain Asia (HMA). Results reveal that albedo is well correlated with mass balance, the correlation (r) ranging from 0.41 to 0.90. Overall, the minimum method is better than the mean method, and MxD10A1 is better than MCD43A3. The albedo changes were calculated based on the MxD10A1 and the mean method, and a linear relationship is established between albedo changes and digital elevation models (DEMs) calculated mass balance from 2000 to 2016. A strong linear correlation (r = .9) is found between albedo changes and mass balance while excluding some areas that have insignificant seasonal variation in albedo, and the reconstructed albedo–mass balance relationship can be used to retrieve mass balance in large‐scale glaciers. Furthermore, the average loss of mass from 2000 to 2020 is calculated as −0.225 ± 0.040 m w.e.a−1. The greatest glacier mass loss is concentrated in the southeastern part of HMA, the mass loss in the north and west is less than that in the southeast, and the glacier mass is in a state of aggravated loss in recent years. Our study also offers a new method for estimating the large‐scale glacier mass balance.

AbstractMonsoon and its teleconnection with earth system internal processes affect the spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation and water resources. In this paper, the wavelet coherence analysis has been utilized, a time and frequency domain methodology for comparing the spectral features of two independent time series superior to linear approaches. This technique is used to capture the significant modes of variabilities in the Indian Summer Monsoon Index (ISMI) and large‐scale climate indices (CIs) between ocean–atmosphere oscillations, like Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and Arctic Oscillation (AO) over Pakistan. Precipitation time series during 1960–2016 revealed significant interannual coherences with ISMI, whereas the remaining CIs (IOD, ENSO, PDO, SOI, NAO, AMO, and AO) revealed interannual, decadal and interdecadal coherences. However, AO revealed strongest coherences in R‐II, III, and VI at interdecadal scales among all CIs. Overall, the interannual cycles on ISMI are 2.8 years, IOD 1–5.3 years, PDO 0–5.3 years, SOI 1–5.3 years, NAO 0–5 years, AO 0–5 years, and AMO 0–8.3 years. Whereas, the remaining CIs shared interdecadal coherences over particular regions. The ISMI displayed coherences (except in the UIB) with the large‐scale CIs over various homogenous regions on an interannual scale. The dominant influence of ISMI is observed in R‐II and III; the significant coherences in R‐II ranged from ~8 to 32 months (~0.8–2.8 years). The IOD and NAO have major coherences than the remaining large‐scale CIs ranging from ~16 to 64 months (1.3–5.3 years). The AO has the most significant coherences observed in R‐II, III, and VI on the decadal/interdecadal scale from 128 months and above (almost 10–15 years). On a 1.0‐year timescale, all homogenous regions demonstrated strong intermittent coherence with ISMI, IOD, ENSO, PDO, SOI, NAO, AMO, and AO. These findings have substantial implications for decision‐makers and scientists in Pakistan looking to enhance water resource planning and operations in the face of future climate uncertainties.

AbstractBACKGROUNDBroad bean paste is a high nitrogen and high salt traditional Chinese condiment, which triggers biosynthesis of nitrogen hazards like biogenic amines (BAs). Mechanisms of association and applied research of functional safety and community assembly within multiple‐microbial fermentation are currently lacking. Here, bioaugmentation was performed based on the profiles of BAs accumulation and microbial succession to evaluate the functional variation within broad bean paste fermentation.RESULTSPutrescine, spermine, and spermidine were the main BAs during traditional broad bean paste fermentation. Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, and Bacillus were the predominant bacteria, whereas Aspergillus and Zygosaccharomyces dominated in fungal species, and community structure shifted upon salt exposure. PICRUSt software uncovered that Bacillus contributed significantly (>1%) to the amine oxidase gene family. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 1‐G6 and Bacillus licheniformis 2‐B3 were screened to perform the bioaugmentation of broad bean paste, which achieved a 29% and 16% BA decrease respectively. Interaction network analysis showed that Cronobacter and Lactobacillus were significantly negatively correlated with Bacillus (ρ = −0.829 and ρ = −0.714, respectively, P < 0.05) in the B. amyloliquefaciens 1‐G6 group, and Staphylococcus and Buttiauxella were inhibited by Bacillus (ρ = −0.657 and ρ = −0.543, respectively, P < 0.05) in the B. licheniformis 2‐B3 group.CONCLUSIONThe synergism of amine oxidase activity and microbial interactions led to the decline of BAs. Thus, this study improves our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of microbial succession and functional variation to further facilitate the optimization of the fermented food industry.

Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this study, semi‐interpenetrating polymer networks (semi‐IPNs) based on chitosan and poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (CS/PHEMA) are successfully fabricated through free radical polymerization of HEMA in the presence of CS solution with potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) as a crosslinking agent, aiming to develop semi‐IPNs CS/PHEMA structure properties by different feed ratios of CS/HEMA and TEGDMA. The resulting semi‐IPNs CS/PHEMA structure shows the presence of the two polymeric components in the polymer structure. The crosslinking results in the morphological structure, high porosity and pore structure, as well as interconnected pores on the surface, indicating that a semi‐IPNs hydrogel structure formed after polymerization. Moreover, the degree of swelling is excellent in different media ranging from 140 to 220%. The semi‐IPNs CS/PHEMA samples exhibit highly enhanced mechanical strength with crosslinking and show features of brittle materials in the dry state and rubber‐like materials in the wet state. Compressive structure exhibits retaining after stress removal. The polymeric decomposition occurs, corresponding to linear CS and PHEMA networks. The degradation behavior of semi‐IPNs CS/PHEMA promotes enzymatic biodegradation under simulated physiological conditions. Therefore, these CS/PHEMA semi‐IPNs materials can be suitable for use as biodegradable polymers and engineering scaffold materials.

AbstractBackgroundVoltage‐gated sodium channels are essential for the generation and conduction of electrical impulses in excitable cells. Sodium channel Nav1.7, encoded by the SCN9A‐gene, has been of special interest in the last decades because missense gain‐of‐function mutations have been linked to a spectrum of neuropathic pain conditions, including inherited erythermalgia (IEM), paroxysmal extreme pain disorder (PEPD), and small fiber neuropathy (SFN).MethodsIn this case report, we present a 61‐year‐old woman who was referred to our tertiary referral center in a standard day care setting with suspicion of SFN. We performed additional investigations: skin biopsy to determine the intra‐epidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD), quantitative sensory testing (QST), and blood examination (including DNA analysis) for possible underlying conditions.ResultsThe patient showed a clinical picture that fulfilled the criteria of IEM, PEPD, and SFN. DNA analysis revealed the heterozygous variant c.554G > A in the SCN9A‐gene (OMIM 603415). This variant has already been described in all three human pain conditions separately, but never in one patient having symptoms of all three conditions. Because its pathogenicity has never been functionally confirmed, the variant is classified as a variance of unknown significance (VUS)/risk factor. This suggests that another genetic and/or environmental substrate plays a role in the development of neuropathic conditions like described.ConclusionWe have described this as the SCN9A‐pain triangle phenomenon. Treatment should focus on pain management, genetic counseling, and improving/maintaining quality of life by treating symptoms and, if indicated, starting a rehabilitation program.
