To study whether postnatal weight gain pattern can be a predictor of severe ROP.We conducted a prospective observational studyBirth weight and weight gain was recorded at 2 weeks,4 weeks and 6 weeks for all premature babies undergoing screening for ROP in our ROP clinic and NICU. The weight gain data was collected for those who developed any grade of ROP-these babies were followed up for spontaneous regression or given laser treatment for Type 1 ROP.Type 1 ROP which required treatment was termed as Severe ROP.The weight gain parameters analysed were absolute weight gain at 2,4 and 6 weeks and weight gain proportionWe included 94 babies were included in the study. Out of 94, in 73 babies spontaneous ROP regressed was noted and 21 developed severe ROP. Mean birth weight in treated babies and non-treated babies were 909.29 ± 210.88 grams and 1107 ± 375.00 grams respectively. Absolute weight at 2,4 and 6 weeks were significantly low in severe ROP. Weight gain proportion at completed 2,4,6 weeks of life showed that at 4 weeks it was significantly (p 0.025) low in severe ROP. Weight gain per week at 4 and 6 weeks was low in Type I ROP babies (P 0.006 and 0.016 respectively)In conclusion, this study found that postnatal weight gain is a significant factor that can predict the progression of ROP and those babies having a lower weight gain proportion in first 6 weeks should be followed up very closely for ROP progression.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus that infects the body. Dengue is a common viral infection in warm tropical climates. The infection is caused by one of four closely related dengue viruses. The disease now plagues many countries and even more than 100 countries within the WHO, including Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific. The Americas, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific are the most severely affected regions, with Asia representing 70% of the global disease burden. The high incidence rate of DHF in various regions of Indonesia is the background by several factors, one of which is the density of the seaters. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between population density and larvae free index and Incidence Rate (IR) Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Blitar Regency in 2013-2017. Methods: The data were analyzed quantitatively using Spearman correlation tests to analyze relationships between variables. Result: The results of the analysis found there was no correlation between dengue fever incidence rate and larvae free index (p = 0.603 r = -0.117), and there was a correlation between the incidence rate of dengue fever and population density (p = 0.002 r = 0.619). Conclusion: High population density is a risk factor for DHF events in Blitar Regency, so there needs to be an anticipation of preventive measures such as the implementation of 3M and counseling of the impact of high population density.

Abstract
To research the environmental behavior of chiral pesticides in waters and sediments in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River basin and evaluate their ecological risk, a quantitative method for the detection of 12 chiral pesticides was established based on ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray (UPLC) ionization (ESI) tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The analysis results suggest that the overall a low detection rates and concentrations of the 12 chiral pesticides in surface waters and surface sediments, but the concentrations of paclobutrazol, tebuconazole and hexaconazole were relatively high among them. All the chiral pesticides detected in this study area have stereoselectivity, with S-Paclobutrazol and (-)-Hexaconazole being preferentially degraded in most of the study area, while the stereoselective degradation pattern of tebuconazole was more complicated. ECOSAR simulation method allows deriving that hexaconazole poseded a low (or lower) ecological risk to aquatic algae and paclobutrazol had a low (or even higher) ecological risk to whole aquatic organisms. The levels of most other chiral pesticide residues were acceptable.

Introduction
Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) are an integral part of various community-based health programs visiting households and communities to screen for diseases, risk factors and educate on basic health issues. A profound and wide range of psychological health issues (anxiety, stress, and depression) at the individual, community, and international levels has been reported during the COVID-19 outbreaks.
Methods
An analytical cross-sectional study design was used to assess the anxiety, depression, and stress level among rural and urban FCHVs during the COVID-19 in Province 1. A multistage random sampling technique was be used the select the sample. The total sample size was 384. Semi-structured structured valid Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used for measuring the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress level of FCHVs. Descriptive analysis i.e. frequency, percentage, mean, median, and standard deviation was used to assess the level of anxiety, depression, and stress among adults. Inferential analysis i.e. logistic regression was used to find the association between dependent and selected demographic variables.
Findings
The study revealed that the prevalence of extremely severe levels of anxiety was 35.5% of the Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) 23.4% of moderate level of stress and 21.6% of respondents were a severe level of depression respectively. There is significant association between level anxiety and ethnicity (p = 0.040; OR = 1.562; CI = 1.021–2.390), occupation (p = 0.013; OR = 3.861; CI = 1.325–11.249) and place of residence (p ≤ 0.001; OR = 1.959; CI = 1.470–3.413).

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of hatching status on in vitro fertilization outcomes in frozen–thawed blastocyst transfer cycles.
Methods
Frozen–thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles performed at a single fertility center between 2016 and 2021 were retrospectively assessed. Analyses were restricted to 6821 frozen–thawed blastocyst transfers in women aged 24–47 years. For optimal comparability, double embryo transfer cycles consisting of one hatching and one hatched blastocyst were excluded. Implantation and pregnancy rates were evaluated and compared between subgroups, based on patients’ age (≤ 38 years vs. >38 years), blastocyst grade (good vs. bad grade) and number of transferred embryos (single embryo transfer [SET] vs. double embryo transfer [DET]).
Results
Hatched blastocyst transfer was associated with higher implantation and clinical pregnancy rates in the SET group (15.7% and 15.6%, respectively; p < 0.05). The transfer of two hatched blastocysts had a trend of higher implantation and clinical pregnancy rates, compared to the transfer of two hatching blastocysts (19.5% and 20.4%, respectively; p < 0.05) in the DET group. In the hatched blastocyst transfer group, the clinical pregnancy and implantation rates were higher, regardless of a woman’s age and embryo quality.
Conclusion
The IVF treatment outcomes improved when the blastocysts were hatched during FET cycles. Hence, hatched blastocyst transfer in FET cycles shall be considered as a superior method in IVF practice.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Biodiesel can be a vital substitute for the traditional fossil fuels. Biodiesel is not only renewable but also contributes to environment by reducing green gas emission. But using edible crops as source for biofuel production can cause food security problems. In the present investigation, seeds of Phyllanthus emblica which is a nonedible source was used for biodiesel production. Seeds were collected and dried and then converted to thin powder which was used as feedstock. Oil extraction was optimized using different extraction methods. GC-FID was carried out for analysing the fatty acid profile of the extracted oil. Dimethyl carbonate was used instead of methanol and activated charcoal was used as catalyst for efficient biodiesel production. Activated charcoal was produced and analyzed with FTIR and SEM to study about morphology of the activated charcoal. Transesterification reaction parameters were optimized. Temperature of 40, 60 and 80°C, DMC to oil molar ratio of 2:1, 4:1, 6:1, 8:1 and catalyst concentration of 1.5, 2 and 2.5wt% in relation to oil was carried out to find the efficient reaction conditions. GC-MS was carried out to confirm the presence of fatty acid alkyl esters.

Abstract
Artificial planting vegetation can slow down water erosion and promote material deposition, which has the significance of ecological civilization construction. In order to explore the effect of vegetation array spacing on flow pattern and hydraulic characteristics in surface water flow, a non-submerged rigid vegetation hydraulics model with 5% coverage (210 plants) was established based on the actual situation. The vegetation with the ratio of the width of the vegetation area d to the width of the gap area D of 1 was evenly arranged as the control group, and the d/D was 0.625,0.401,0.25,0.142 and 0.0626 as the experimental group. Based on the experimental analysis and Fluent numerical simulation, the vegetation with the same coverage is analyzed as the width of the vegetation area becomes larger and larger, that is, the vegetation arrangement tends to be uniform, the results showed : Frictional head loss along the way and Darcy-Weisbach resistance coefficient increase, water blocking effect is obvious; under the influence of water depth, the flow velocity decreases and the Reynolds stress increases in the lower half of water depth; surface velocity decreases and turbulent kinetic energy increases on non-submerged vegetation; water blocking effect of vegetation zone is better than gap zone. It consumes water energy to achieve water blocking effect and prevents the surface of water flow from being excessively washed, which has certain value for flood control and disaster reduction.

Abstract
Improving stability and strengthening aggregate formation of bauxite in bulk cargoes to reduce the danger of liquefaction remains a challenge. The influence of gypsum and vermicompost on the alkali-aggregate reaction of bauxite against liquefaction in solid bulk cargoes are investigated using wet sieving, the modified Le Bissonnais' (LB), flow table, particle size distribution, specific gravity, scanning emission microscopy, and energy dispersive x-ray. Its effect on the aggregate stability of bauxite was investigated by including 2% and 4% gypsum and 4% and 10% vermicompost by weight of dry bauxite, respectively. The study of the soil samples suggested that the ideal condition for boosting aggregate stability and lowering the danger of bauxite liquefaction is at a level of 6% gypsum and 4% vermicompost, respectively. The addition of gypsum and vermicompost improves PSD at 2.5mm (20.38% increment), specific gravity (20.67% reduction), erosion resistance (40.00% increment), Mean Weight Diameter (75.51% increment), Transportable Moisture Limit (26.97% increment), and changes the microstructure of the bauxite from a sheet like structure to granular macro aggregated structure. The results shown that the addition of gypsum and vermicompost to bauxite had a direct effect on micromorphology and aggregate size distribution, resulting in an increase in aggregate stability and structure and a reduction in the risk of liquefaction.

Abstract
Backgrounds

To compare the reduction effect of single loop and double loop in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular dislocation, postoperative complications and the effect of shoulder function recovery, so as to determine the best fixation method for acromioclavicular.

Methods

Patients with acute acromioclavicular dislocation treated with TightRope fixation in our hospital from January 2014 to May 2019 were reviewed. According to the different fixation methods, it can be divided into single loop group and double loop group. The difference and difference ratio of coracoclavicular spacing between the affected side and the healthy side at the 1st day, 3rd week, 6th week, 3rd month, 6th month, 1st year, 2nd year and the last follow-up were compared between the two groups, as well as the postoperative visual analog scale pain score (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon score(ASES) and constant-Murley score.

Results

On the 1st postoperative day, there was no significant difference in the reduction effect between the single loop group and the double loop group (P = 0.90,P = 0.93). 3 weeks after surgery, although the overall difference and difference rate of CCD between the two groups were different (P = 0.00,P = 0.00), there was no significant difference between type ⅲ and type ⅳ in terms of injury type (Type ⅲ P = 0.13,P = 0.16; Type ⅳ p = 0.22, p = 0.20;). Since 6 weeks after surgery, there were significant statistical differences in CCD difference rate between single loop group and double loop group.

Conclusions

Both single loop and double loop Tightrope can achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of fresh Rockwood ⅲ - ⅴ acromioclavicular dislocation. The single-loop group has the risk of postoperative reduction and loss.
