Abstract
Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with high ionic conductivities are crucial for the development of all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs), and there is a strong correlation between the ionic conductivities and underlying lattice structures of SSEs. Here, we report a novel lattice manipulation method of replacing < Li6OH>+ octahedral clusters with potassium ions in antiperovskite SSEs (Li2OH)0.99K0.01Cl, which leads to its ionic conductivity at room temperature two orders of magnitude higher than that of Li2OHCl. The mechanisms analysis indicates that the novel lattice manipulation method leads to the stabilization of cubic phase and lattice contraction for antiperovskite, and causes significant changes in Li-ion transport paths and migration barriers. Also, the Li | Li symmetric cell and LiFePO4 | Li ASSLB employing (Li2OH)0.99K0.01Cl electrolyte exhibit long-term stable cycling performance, which indicates the application prospects of antiperovskite electrolyte in ASSLBs.

Abstract
While it is known that air borne particulate matter (PM2.5) may pass through the pulmonary circulation of blood at the alveolar level between lung and heart and cross the air-blood barrier, the mechanism and effects are not completely clear. In this study the imaging method fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is adopted for visualization with high spatial resolution and quantification of PM particles in mouse lung and heart tissues. The results showed that the median numbers of particles in lung of mice exposed to particulate matter of diameter less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) was about 2.0 times more than that in the filtered air (FA)-treated mice, and about 1.3 times more in heart of PM2.5-treated mice than in FA-treated mice. Interestingly, PM2.5 particles were more abundant in heart than lung, likely due to how PM particles are cleared by phagocytosis and transport via circulation from lungs. It is proposed that the powerful flow of blood through the heart may contribute to invasion of PM2.5 particles into heart muscles. The histopathological evaluations revealed that exposure of PM2.5 to lungs dilated air spaces and showed signs of inflammation. Moreover, heart tissues showed inflammation and amyloid deposition. The component analysis of concentrated airborne PM2.5 particles suggested traffic exhausts and industrial emissions as predominant sources. Our results strongly suggest association of PM2.5 exposure to chronic lung and heart tissue injuries. The current study supports the contention that industrial air pollution is one of the causative factors for rising levels of chronic pulmonary and cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Central neurocytoma (CNCy) is an exceedingly rare brain tumor occurring mainly within the ventricles in young adults. Anecdotal cases of CNCy occurring simultaneously with other brain lesions have been reported but to the best of our knowledge, no one was accompanied by brain AVM. A 12-year-old girl presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure. A multi-bleb CNCy originated from the septum in the midline, expanding to the lateral and third ventricles, back to the incisura and infratentorial- supra-cerebellar cistern concomitant with a left frontal parafalx AVM. The tumor was removed successfully, and hydrocephalus controlled by ventriculoperitoneal shunting. The AVM bled after 7 years and was extirpated surgically. She is tumor free after 15 years. Presenting the first case of CNCy concomitant with brain AVM in a 12-year-old girl with more than 15 years surgical follow up. Even though we could not find any evidence regarding a genetic problem in our case but “Concomitance of CNCY and AVM” can suggest a congenital origin and a common genetic basis only as a hypothesis.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Background:Sepsis is a common serious condition worldwide and diagnostics are still slow. Nanopore sequencing is a promising tool in point of care medicine. However, high ratio of host to bacterial DNA decreases utility of nanopore. Fast, cheap, and easy techniques to separate host from bacterial DNA are required. Aim:The aim was to compare three different separation methods of blood for bacterial DNA enrichment and isolation with subsequent products readily suitable for nanopore sequencing. Methods: Blood was collected from healthy subjects and spiked with either gram-negative or gram-positive bacteria. Three different separation methods alongside negative control were performed. The performance of each method was evaluated by RT-qPCR of 16S gene and B2 microglobulin. Results: 16s RT-qPCR showed similar Ct value for tested methods in comparison to Standard method.However, the host DNA depletion was significantly higher for the centrifugal method compared to others. Reproducibility, based on variability measured by the standard deviation and RT-qPCR results, was highest using the centrifugation method compared to the other three methods. Conclusion: From all tested methods, centrifugation outperformed other basic isolation techniques considering turnaround time, reliability, and effectiveness. Further investigation is needed to confirm our promising results in a real-life scenario.

Abstract
The national political system has the directly impacts the economy. Every political party has their own economic policies. This has the major impact on the economic stability of the nation. Sometimes, few political parties rule either the state or national Governments. Their policies directly reflect in the state or national level financial systems. In general political parties, pay more attention to the state in which they control or aspire to establish their party's rule. Political discourse has an unspoken impact on the state's financial stability. Data from unstructured political events (1200 records) produced for accurate political event prediction; data was pulled from the archives of web news accumulated over the last 5 years to better understand the impact of such impact discovered in this article. This recommended work includes the advantages of Spatiotemporal Analysis of Web News Archives for forecasting network features modeled through political events and converting them into possible information based on natural language processing qualities. The suggested approach constructs a spatial analysis based on hotspots for estimating the sequence of political events in India. Lastly, the resulting data is nurtured into several classifiers for a more reliable prediction and identification procedure. This proposed technique reached a maximum frequency of 78.21 percent and 93.58 percent, respectively, when compared to the Random forest method and the K-neighbor neighbour (KNN) algorithms.

Abstract
Background: The use of cervical cerclage in singleton gestations is a well-established method to prevent preterm birth. Although cervical cerclage is becoming more frequently used among twin pregnancies, it is still a matter of great controversy. The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of physical examination- and ultrasound-indicated cervical cerclage in twin versus singleton gestations.Methods: A retrospective cohort study of all ultrasound (cervical length ≤25 mm) and physical examination indicated cerclage cases performed over a 9-year period. The primary outcome was the time interval from cerclage placement to delivery. Results: The study cohort included 100 singleton and 16 twin pregnancies. Time interval from cerclage placement to delivery was comparable in twin and singleton gestations (14.1 versus 16.3 weeks, p=0.11), as well as the rates of preterm births <28 and <32 weeks. The rate of alive newborns >24 weeks was lower in the twin group (62% versus 89%, p=0.045). Regression analysis identified that cervical dilation, but not twin gestation, was the only factor independently associated with increased risk for birth before 32 weeks.Conclusion: Ultrasound-indicated and physical examination-indicated cerclage in twin and singleton gestations have comparable efficacy.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Deep drawing is a forming process widely used in aerospace, military, automotive, and various industries. One of the essential useful parameters in the quality of deep-drawn products is Blank Holder Force (BHF). By Controlling BHF during the process, formability has been improved, reduced forming energy, and sheet thickness. Tearing is one of the most common and crucial defects in this process due to high radial stress in the cup's wall, resulting in many limitations in this field. In this process, the blank holder force plays an indispensable role in causing tearing. Therefore, controlling blank holder force during the process would be inevitable to avoid tearing or even wrinkling. This study aims to calculate the tearing limit with new criteria in analytical dominating plasticity Equations based on the slab Method. The St14 sheet with 1 mm thickness and 200 mm diameter is used in this study. The maximum blank holder force in each stage of punch stroke with new criteria based on strain energy with three different frictional coefficients is calculated, compared, and verified with FEM simulation and experimental results. Analytical results with new criteria are also compared with previous procedures. Finally, it is realized that results related to energy criteria have a lot more similarity with FEM simulation and experimental results in comparison with the previous ones.

Abstract
BackgroundThe atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) index can be used as a powerful biomarker of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis (AS). However, there is limited evidence on the relationship between AIP index and carotid artery plaque (CAP) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).MethodsThis is a retrospective study of 9281 CHD patients who underwent carotid ultrasound. Participants were divided according to AIP index tertiles (T1: AIP index < 1.02, T2: 1.02≤ AIP index < 1.25, T3: AIP index ≥ 1.25). The presence or absence of CAP was determined by carotid ultrasonography. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between AIP index and CAP in CHD patients . The relationship between AIP index and CAP was also assessed according to sex, age, and glucose metabolic status.ResultsThe baseline analysis showed that there were significant differences in related parameters among CHD patients who were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of AIP index. Compared with T1 of AIP index, the odds ratio (OR) of the T3 of AIP index in CHD patients was 2.19 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.91-2.52). The association between the AIP index and the CAP was higher in female (OR: 2.42; 95%CI: 2.02-2.90) than in male (OR: 1.89; 95%CI: 1.52-2.35). OR value of patients less than 60 years old (OR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.70-2.63) is lower than that of patients over 60 years old (OR: 2.18; 95%CI: 1.83-2.61). AIP index was significantly associated with CAP risk in different glucose metabolic states, with diabetes having the highest OR values (OR: 4.18; 95%CI: 2.97-5.88).ConclusionAIP index and CAP were significantly associated in CHD patients.In CHD patients, the association between AIP index and CAP was higher in female than in male, and lower in patients aged less than or equal to 60 than in patients aged more than 60. Under different glucose metabolism conditions, the association between AIP index and CAP in CHD patients was the highest in diabetes.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
BackgroundAmbulatory surgery is often followed by the development of nausea & vomiting (N/V). Although risk factors for postoperative nausea & vomiting (PONV) are often studied, PONV is not well understood in context of a patient’s home. This is especially troublesome given the potential consequences of postdischarge nausea & vomiting (PDNV), which include major discomfort and hospital readmission.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, data from 10,231 adult patients undergoing ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia were collected and analyzed. Multivariable multinomial logistic regression was used to assess the association between patient & operative characteristics (including age, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, current smoker status, and intra & postoperative opioid usage) and the odds of experiencing N/V only in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), only at home, or in the PACU and at home, as compared to not experiencing N/V at all. ResultsIn this study, 17.8% of all patients developed N/V in at least one location following ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia. Patients who experienced N/V in the PACU had 3.05 (95% confidence interval: 2.55-3.65) times the risk of reporting N/V at home than those who did not. Multivariable multinomial logistic regression found that younger age, greater hydromorphone use, and female sex were associated with increased likelihood of experiencing N/V in all settings. Increased morphine usage was found to be associated with greater odds of experiencing Home only and PACU plus Home N/V, but not PACU only N/V. Greater oxycodone and volatile anesthetic usage were associated with lower and higher odds of experiencing PACU only N/V respectively, but neither were significantly associated with Home only and PACU plus Home N/V.ConclusionsPatients experiencing N/V in the PACU are observed to develop PDNV disproportionately. N/V at home and N/V in the PACU, while having some overlap, are associated with several unique indicators, including usage of oxycodone, morphine, and volatile anesthetics. More investigation into PDNV specific indicators and prevention strategies is warranted. Trial RegistrationN/A

Abstract
Background The aphasia quotient of Western Aphasia Battery (WAB-AQ) has been used as an inclusion criterion and as an outcome measure in clinical, research, or community settings. Although the WAB-AQ is commonly used to measure recovery, there was no quantitative relationship between WAB-AQ and severity classification. This study aimed to quantitatively determine levels of linguistic deficit by using a cluster analysis of the WAB-AQ in post-stroke aphasia (PSA). Methods 308 patients were extracted from the database. Cutoff scores defined by mean overlap WAB-AQ scores of clusters by systematic cluster analysis, the method of which is the farthest neighbor element, and the metrics are square Euclidean distance and Pearson correlation, performed on the full sample of WAB-AQ individual subitem scores. A 1-way analysis of variance, with post hoc comparisons conducted, was used to determine whether clusters had significantly difference. Results Three clusters were identified. The scores for severe, moderate and mild linguistic deficit levels ranged from 0 to 30, 30.1 to 50.3, and 50.4 to 93.7, respectively. Conclusions For PSA, the cluster analysis of WAB-AQ supports a 3-impairment level classification scheme.

Abstract
High-speed circuit boards are created to meet the high-speed signal transmission requirements of 5G communication technology, but the non-polar resins, flat glass fibers, and multiple and hard fillers used for this purpose have launched new challenges to their micro-hole processing. Micro-hole quality has always been a decisive factor in board performance, therefore, this paper proposes a new processing method for improving micro-hole drilling quality of high-speed circuit boards, establishes an ultrasonic-assisted drilling tool motion model. Then, this paper analyzes the changes in drilling method, material deformation, chip breakage and chip removal during ultrasonic-assisted drilling of printed circuit boards, to study the influence mechanism on micro-hole quality during ultrasound-assisted drilling. In addition, an experimental platform for ultrasonic-assisted drilling is designed and built, and single-factor experiments for verification of ultrasonic effects, optimization of drilling parameters, and orthogonal experiments for ultrasonic-assisted drilling of high-speed circuit boards are conducted on this platform. The experimental results show that the loading of ultrasonic vibration has a very obvious improvement on the situation of several machining defects such as hole wall roughness, entrance burr and nail head in micro-hole drilling of high-speed circuit boards. In addition, the influence order and better level combination of each processing parameter are obtained, which provides a theoretical research basis and processing instructions for the improvement of micro-hole quality of high-speed circuit boards.

Abstract
The Kerguelen Islands, located in the southern part of the Indian Ocean, are very isolated geographically. They have been the subject of very few microbiological investigations. In particular, their microbial diversity has never been analyzed with high-throughput sequencing methods and no sequencing studies of the genomes of the microbial communities have been performed. In this article we performed the first metagenomics analysis of microorganisms present in Kerguelen hot springs. From four different hot springs, we assembled metagenomes and recovered 42 metagenome-assembled genomes, mostly associated with new taxa. Bacterial and archaeal MAGs were studied in details and showed affiliations to new species, genera, families and orders. Metabolic predictions from MAGs suggest the presence of heterotrophs and primary producers involved in the sulfur cycle. This paper, which focuses on only four of the dozens of hot springs in the Kerguelen Islands, is a preliminary study of the microorganisms, particularly thermophiles, inhabiting the hot springs of these insulated islands. These results show that more efforts should be made to better understand these ecosystems as they represent a reservoir of unknown microbial lineages and potential new metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Background: At present, controversy remains regarding whether cytoreductive prostatectomy (CRP) should be performed for oligometastatic prostate cancer (OPC). The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of CRP for the treatment of OPC by conducting a systematic meta-analysis .Methods: Design A systematic review and meta-analysis, conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement.Data sources Publications included in the PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Web of Science (SCI) databases as of May 2022.Eligibility criteria Prospective studies comparing the efficacy of RP versus no RP in the treatment of OPC.Results: In total, 11 publications incorporating 888 patients were analyzed. Tumor-reducing prostatectomy was found to have no significant effect on long-term or short-term OS [OR=2.26, 95%CI(0.97,5.28), P=0.06 > 0.05] and [OR=1.73, 95%CI(0.83,3.58), P=0.14 > 0.05], but it significantly improved patient CSS [OR=1.77, 95%CI(1.01,310.), P=0.04 < 0.05]and[OR=2.71, 95%CI(1.72,4.29), P < 0.0001] and PFS [OR=1.93, 95%CI (1.25, 2.97), P=0.003 < 0.05].Conclusion: These results suggest that cytoreductive prostatectomy can confer survival benefits to OPC patients.
