Traditional Chinese Medicine for Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Shen Wei , Fan Xueming , Wang Liuding , Zhang Yunling 
Published: February 2022

Background: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) affects more than one-third of stroke patients, and causes much greater harm to long-term function than the initial brain damage. No conventional Western medications have shown convincing clinical effectiveness for treating PSCI. Research shows that Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can improve cognitive function in patients. However, the clinical efficacy and safety remain controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness and harmful effects of TCMs in the treatment of PSCI.Method: We searched seven databases and two clinical registration websites for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The revised Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB 2.0) was used to evaluate the methodological quality and RevMan 5.4 was used for data analysis. This study has been submitted to PROSPERO with registration number is CRD42020149299.Results: We included 34 studies in this review. The results of this study showed that TCM adjuvant therapy improved scores on the MoCA [MD = 2.55, 95% CI (1.56, 3.53), p &lt; 0.00001; MD = 3.07, 95% CI (1.98, 4.17), p &lt; 0.00001 at treatment duration of &lt;3 and 3 months, respectively], MMSE [MD = 2.55, 95% CI (1.99, 3.10), p &lt; 0.00001; MD = 2.53, 95% CI (1.59, 3.47), p &lt; 0.00001; MD = 2.91, 95% CI (1.26, 4.56), p = 0.0006; MD = 3.11, 95% CI (−0.04, 6.27), p = 0.05 at treatment duration of &lt;3, 3, 4, and 6 months, respectively], and BI [MD = 7.34, 95% CI (3.83, 10.85), p &lt; 0.0001; MD = 8.98, 95% CI (4.76, 13.21), p &lt; 0.0001 at treatment duration of &lt;3 and 3 months, respectively] and reduced scores on the ADL (MD = −8.64, 95% CI (−9.83, −7.45), p &lt; 0.00001; MD = −2.00, 95% CI (−2.94, −1.06), p &lt; 0.0001 at treatment duration of 3 and 4 months, respectively], NIHSS [MD = −2.48, 95% CI (−4.97, 0.00), p = 0.05; MD = −3.81, 95% CI (−6.21, −1.40), p = 0.002 at treatment duration of &lt;3 and 3 months, respectively], and CSS [MD = −2.47, 95% CI (−3.49, −1.45), p &lt; 0.00001 at a treatment duration of 3 months]. No serious adverse reactions were observed.Conclusion: Despite the significant positive results, the present evidence supports, to a limited extent because of the methodological flaws and herbal heterogeneity, that TCM adjuvant therapy can be used for patients with PSCI. While, further rigorous RCTs are warranted to confirm the efficacy and safety of TCM.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier CRD42020149299.

BackgroundPeople with severe mental illnesses (SMIs) are likely to face disproportionate challenges during a pandemic. They may not receive or be able to respond to public health messages to prevent infection or to limit its spread. Additionally, they may be more severely affected, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.MethodsWe conducted a telephone survey (May–June 2020) in a sample of 1,299 people with SMI who had attended national mental health institutes in Bangladesh and Pakistan before the pandemic. We collected information on top worries, socioeconomic impact of the pandemic, knowledge of COVID-19 (symptoms, prevention), and prevention-related practices (social distancing, hygiene). We explored the predictive value of socio-demographic and health-related variables for relative levels of COVID-19 knowledge and practice using regularized logistic regression models.FindingsMass media were the major source of information about COVID-19. Finances, employment, and physical health were the most frequently mentioned concerns. Overall, participants reported good knowledge and following advice. In Bangladesh, being female and higher levels of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) predicted poor and better knowledge, respectively, while in Pakistan being female predicted better knowledge. Receiving information from television predicted better knowledge in both countries. In Bangladesh, being female, accessing information from multiple media sources, and better HRQoL predicted better practice. In Pakistan, poorer knowledge of COVID-19 prevention measures predicted poorer practice.ConclusionOur paper adds to the literature on people living with SMIs and their knowledge and practices relevant to COVID-19 prevention. Our results emphasize the importance of access to mass and social media for the dissemination of advice and that the likely gendered uptake of both knowledge and practice requires further attention.

PurposeTo summarize the technical points and clinical effects of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia.MethodsThe clinical data of 13 patients with trigeminal neuralgia who received PBC from April 2020 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. VAS, VRS-4 and PPI were used to evaluate the postoperative pain relief. Different postoperative complications were analyzed.ResultsAll patients had a smooth operation, the inflation volume of the balloon was 0.7 ml, the average compression time was 120 s, and there was no balloon rupture during the operation. On the day after operation, 12 patients (92.3%) had complete pain relief, and 1 patient (7.7%) was not satisfied with pain relief, but the pain disappeared 2 weeks after the operation. After operation, there were 12 patients with facial numbness in the affected side (92.3%), 3 patients with masseter muscle weakness (23.0%), 1 patient with herpes around the mouth (7.6%), and 1 patient with diplopia (7.6%).ConclusionPBC is an effective minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia. It is suitable for the elderly and infirm people, those who cannot tolerate general anesthesia or are afraid of surgery, and patients who had undergone surgery but relapsed after surgery. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the serious facial numbness and postoperative masticatory weakness. These discomforts are generally relieved after half a year.

This case study analyzes a cryogenic air separation unit (ASU) with a production of V˙O2=58,300 [m3Nh] of gaseous oxygen with a concentration greater than 98.5%, operating in Romania on a steel plant platform. The goal of the paper is to provide an extensive model of exergetic analysis that could be used in an optimization procedure when decisional parameters are changed or structural design modifications are implemented. For each key part of the Air Separation Unit, an exergetic product and fuel were defined and, based on their definition, the coefficient of performance of each functional zone was calculated. The information about the magnitude of the exergetic losses offers solutions for their future recovery. The analysis of the exergy destructions suggests when it is worth making a larger investment. The exergetic analysis of the compression area of the ASU points out an exergy destruction and loss of 37% from the total plant’s electrical energy input. The exergy loss with the heat transferred to the cooling system of compressors can be recovered; for the exergy destruction portion, the challenge between investment and operating costs should be considered. The exergy destruction of the air separation columns found the High Pressure Column (HPC) to be more destructive than the Low Pressure Column. The share of the exergy destruction in the total plant’s electrical energy input is 8.3% for the HPC. The local COP of the HPC, calculated depending on the total exergy of the local product and fuel, is 62.66%. The calculus of the air separation column is performed with the ChemSep simulator.

Com duração de aproximadamente 6'30" a peça foi escrita em 2017 para piano e eletrônica, tendo a proporção áurea – e suas ramificações como a sequência Fibonacci – como inspiração para a organização da harmonia e da forma. O piano assume um caráter solista e a eletrônica – operada por dois intérpretes em dois computadores – mistura sons fixados (eletrônica diferida – escritos em língua portuguesa na partitura) e síntese gerada pelo software SuperCollider (live electronics – escritos em inglês) em ambos os computadores. Os sons fixados (pássaros, avião, chuva etc.) são misturados em tempo real pelos dois intérpretes com o auxílio de um mixer enquanto os live electronics (síntese) são controlados pelo mouse e enviados também ao mixer. Os elementos do piano são tratados como “objetos sonoros” que se adensam pouco a pouco até atingir dois clímaces pré-estabelecidos pela sequência Fibonacci.

Abstract
The donor properties at the interface of the PtO
x
/ZnO Schottky diodes on hydrothermally grown ZnO were investigated. From the capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics of the diode and Hall effect measurements of the bulk substrate, we revealed that the carrier concentration at the ZnO Schottky diodes interface is much higher than that in the bulk. By utilizing the C–V characteristics and the deep level transient spectroscopy, we demonstrated that the interfaces have two kinds of ionized donors; the shallow and deep donors, whose activation energies were 4 meV and 0.33 eV, respectively. Both of the two types of donors were ionized near the interface, whereas only the low-concentration shallow donors were ionized in the bulk. The shallow and deep donors were assigned to hydrogen interstadials and E3 defects, respectively. Since both the donor types are related to hydrogens, annealing in the oxygen atmosphere was effective to greatly suppress the donor concentration at the diode interface.
Enhancement of convergence efficiency for airborne ultrasonic self-bending beam with phase-modulating reflector
Authors: Yamamoto Nagisa , Nomura Hideyuki 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Acoustic self-bending beams for airborne ultrasound are highly expected to expand the capabilities of existing acoustic applications. Our previous study has implemented amplitude control based on the Airy function to achieve an ultrasonic self-bending beam in air. However, the amplitude control lacks sound pressure convergence into the main lobe. To improve the convergence, we propose using a reflector to achieve phase modulation. In this study, we used the Airy function and developed the reflector that incorporates different heights to control spatial phase distribution. Using the proposed reflector demonstrated a self-bending beam for an airborne ultrasound experimentally. In addition, compared to the amplitude modulation, the phase modulation using the proposed reflector improved convergence efficiency of sound pressure level by more than 6 dB at distances of 0.7 m and 1.0 m from the emitter.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
We confirmed that bubble-surrounded cells (BSCs) contained in flow were retained on the walls of an artificial blood vessel by forming an acoustic field with multiple focal points using tempo-spatial division emission. In order to realize the cell delivery system, we investigated the relationship between the concentration of T-cells and brightness in the microscopic images. Next, we defined the applied acoustic intensity, derived from the sound pressure distribution of every type of acoustic field. We studied the retention performance of BSCs versus various flow velocities, number and spatial intervals of the focal points, and maximum sound pressure. From the results, the optimal acoustic field to retain the cells depends on both acoustic intensity and flow velocity, where multiple focal points with an acoustic intensity of 50–120 mW cm−2 were more effective than the single focal point with 180 mW cm−2 in the range of a flow velocity of 10–20 mm s−1.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
In this note, we demonstrate direct high-temperature growth of single-crystalline GaN on c-plane ScAlMgO4 substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, without using low-temperature buffers. We found that a trimethylaluminium preflow was crucial to suppress island growth and to achieve uniform mirror-like Ga-polar GaN layers. The preflow time was found to have a direct impact on the crystalline quality of GaN. We also show that thin GaN layers directly grown at high temperature can be used as buffers for the growth of lattice-matched In0.17Ga0.83N layers on ScAlMgO4. The presented results demonstrate the potential of direct growth of GaN on ScAlMgO4.

Published: February 2022

يشغل محمد عزيز الحبابي مكانة مهمة في الفكر العربي المعاصر ، بل و حتى في الفكر الغربي ، لما له من مشاركات باللغات الأوربية الأخرى و خصوصا الفرنسية تنوعت اهتمامات هذا المفكر من شعر وادب ولغة وفلسفة وسياسة. اقتصر بحثي هذا على الشخصانية الواقعية عنده؛ لأنها تمثل نقطة انطلاق افكاره الفلسفية المهمة فقد تضمنت الشخصانية اغلب المفاهيم و الدلالات و المصطلحات التي عمل عليها الحبابي. تناولت في المبحث الاول الشخصانية ليست ابتكار جديد بدء مع فيلسوفنا فهي كمذهب او كمصطلح ومذهب وأضح ودقيق بدا مع الفيلسوف الفرنسي (رونوفيه) و من ثم (مونييه ولاكرو). أما المبحث الثاني؛ فقد تضمن اهم المفاهيم لفهمالشخصانية عند الحبابي وهي الكائن و الشخص و الانسان اضافة الى عرض الشخصانية الواقعية. من خلال عرض تحليلات و انتقادات الحبابي لأطراف هذه الفلسفة. نجد مزيج فلسفي من اتجاهات فلسفية تهتم بالإنسان مثل الوجودية - الشخصانية - اليرغسونية الماركسية اثرت في فلسفة الحبابي فتراه هنا و هناك في كتبه يحاور الفلاسفة و ذلك ليتجاوز المفاهيم التي قالوا بها لبناء مفهوم اعمق و اكمل. ومن أهم هذه الفلسفات هي فلسفة مونييه الشخصانية فهناك من يضع الحبابي في خانة المنتج و النقل لمفاهيم هذه الفلسفة الا ان المتأمل لفلسفة الحبابي يعترف له بالابتكار الفكري الجديد الفلسفي، فلسفته عكست هموم المفكر التواق لا الا الحرية بل الى التحرر و لا الى الكينونة بل الى التشخصن اذًا؛ الشخصانية هي لحظة من لحظات بناء وتأسيس فلسفة الحبابي و ذلك نحو بناء افكار و فلسفات جديدة تهم الانسان الشرقي وهمومه.
