AbstractAn integrated Micropalaeontological analysis approach was employed based on ditch cuttings samples northwest of the Niger Delta. Lithofacies description showed the entire sediment successions consisted of alternating shale and sand lithology. A moderate to the rich recovery of about seventy-one foraminifera and forty calcareous nannofossil species were recovered, having the presence of Miocene foraminifera (Orbulina universa, Globigerinoides bulloideus, Globorotalia obesa, Globorotalia mayeriandGloborotalia continuosa) and nannofossil (Sphenolithus moriformis, Catinaster coalithus, Discoaster berggreniiandDiscoaster kugleri). Three foraminifera planktonic zones were proposed for this study and were correlated to other worldwide zones;Globerigenoides bulloideus,Globeriginoides obliquus obliquusandGloberigenoides primordiusspanning the Neogene (N) 6 to N17 zone. Two calcareous nannoplankton zones were proposed, which are;Helicosphaera intermediaandSphenolithus moriformisspanning the Neogene Nannofossil (NN) 3 to NN11 zone. Three third-order sea-level rises and falls occurred during the Early to Late Miocene within the Niger Delta, with a corresponding paleo-waterdepth from transitional to outer neritic. TheChiloguembelina-3 Shale (16.0 Ma),DodoShale (11.6 Ma) and theUvigerina-8 Shale (9.2 Ma), were associated with transgression. The 15.5 Ma SB of Depositional Sequence 1(Early Miocene), 10.5 Ma SB of Depositional Sequence 2(Middle Miocene) and 8.5 Ma SB of Depositional Sequence 3(Late Miocene) due to progradation. The paleosalintiy based on shell type morphology assemblages suggests a transition from the brackish marginal marine environment to open neritic conditions. The study interval is said to have penetrated sediments of the parallic Early to Late Miocene Agbada formation.

Abstract
urposeWe aimed to study the effect of music therapy combined with aerobic exercise on the sleep quality of patients undergoing chemotherapy after a radical mastectomy.MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Breast Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center, Shaanxi Province Tumor Hospital, from July 2017 to June 2019. 110 female breast cancer patients who underwent a radical mastectomy were recruited and randomly allocated into an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group completed music therapy combined with aerobic exercise from the first to the sixth admission to the hospital for chemotherapy, while the control group received only routine nursing care. The sleep quality of these patients was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A linear mixed model was used to adjust the PSQI of patients after controlling for other confounding factors.ResultsThe mean sleep quality score of the breast cancer patients who received chemotherapy after a radical mastectomy (baseline) was 8.86 ± 2.34. The intervention group had a significantly lower mean global PSQI score than the control group from the first test to the third test, with an adjusted mean difference of -1.05 (95%CI: -1.86, -0.24; P = 0.01), -2.89 (95%CI: -3.70, -2.08; P < 0.001) and − 4.84 (95%CI: -5.65, -4.03; P < 0.001), respectively. A change in the global PSQI score from baseline for the intervention group was from 0.55 (95%CI: -0.24, 1.34; P = 0.171) at the first test to 2.75 (95%CI: 1.96, 3.53; P < 0.001) at the last test, and for the control group was from − 0.51 (95%CI: -1.31, 0.29; P = 0.213 at the first test to -2.10 (95%CI: -2.91, -1.30; P < 0.001) at the last test.ConclusionsAn intervention of music therapy combined with aerobic exercise can significantly improve the sleep quality of female breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after a radical mastectomy, and this intervention continuously improves many aspects of sleep reactivity.Clinical Trial Registration This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100042975).

Abstract
Co-based catalysts derived from the reduction of CoAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH)/g-C3N4 composite were investigated and used in the hydrogenation of γ-valerolactone to 1,4-pentanediol. The physicochemical properties of Co-based catalysts were analyzed and were compared with those derived from pristine CoAl-LDH and from CoAl-LDH/melamine and CoAl-LDH/activated carbon composites. Among the catalysts, the Co catalyst derived from CoAl-LDH/g-C3N4 had stronger and higher concentrations of Brønsted acid (H+), Lewis acid (Coδ+, δ>2), and Lewis base (N with a lone pair of electrons). The strong Lewis acidity and basicity were related to the enhanced turnover frequency. N-decoration was also found to improve the recyclability of Co-based catalysts.

Abstract
Purpose: Prolonged duration of intrapartum oxytocin exposure is included as a risk factor within widely adopted obstetric hemorrhage risk stratification tools. However, the duration of exposure that confers increased risk is poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the association between duration of intrapartum oxytocin exposure and obstetric blood loss, as measured by quantitative blood loss, and hemorrhage-related maternal morbidity. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of all deliveries from 2018 to 2019 at a single medical center. We included patients who had received any intrapartum oxytocin, and we categorized them into 1 of 5 groups: >0-2, ≥2-4, ≥4-6, ≥6-12, and ≥12 hours of intrapartum oxytocin exposure. The primary outcomes were mean quantitative blood loss, proportion with obstetric hemorrhage (defined as quantitative blood loss ≥ 1000 mL), and proportion with obstetric hemorrhage-related morbidity, a composite of hemorrhage-related morbidity outcomes. Secondary outcomes were hemorrhage-related pharmacologic and procedural interventions. A stratified analysis was also conducted to examine primary and secondary outcomes by delivery mode. Results: Of 5,332 deliveries between January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 at our institution, 2232 (41.9%) utilized oxytocin for induction or augmentation. 326 (14.6%) had exposure of >0-2hr, 295 (13.2%) ≥2-4hr, 298 (13.4%) ≥4-6hr, 562 (25.2%) ≥6-12hr, and 751 (33.6%) ≥12hr. Across all deliveries, there was higher mean quantitative blood loss (p<0.01) as well as increased odds of obstetric hemorrhage (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.21-1.91) for those with ≥12hr of oxytocin compared to all groups between >0-12hr of exposure. In our stratified analysis, ≥12hr of oxytocin exposure was associated with higher mean quantitative blood loss (p=0.04) and odds of obstetric hemorrhage in vaginal deliveries (aOR 1.47, 95% CI: 1.03-2.11), though not in cesarean deliveries (aOR 1.16, 95% CI: 0.82-1.62). There were no differences in proportion with obstetric hemorrhage-related morbidity across all deliveries (p=0.40) or in the stratified analysis. Conclusion: Intrapartum oxytocin exposure of ≥12 hours was associated with increased quantitative blood loss and odds of obstetric hemorrhage in vaginal, but not cesarean, deliveries.

Abstract
To make full use of domestic kapok fiber, the microstructure and composition of Quanzhou kapok were invetigated and compared with the popular Indonesia ceiba. FIB-SEM images showed the similar fine tube structures of both kapok fibers with the wall thickness and hollow ratios of 806.1 nm, 85.56% and 863.3 nm, 82.40% repectively. Mesopores with the average width of 48.247 and 38.758 Å were proved to be slit pores produced by the packing of porous lamellae. Quanzhou kapok was more superior in wall thickness, hollow ratio, specific surface area and pore size which would be better at oil adsorption. Both kapok fibers were primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Quanzhou kapok had better thermostability and higher degradation speed than that of Indonesia ceiba. Inside the fiber, cellulose skeletons were in the arrangement of helical ribbon, while amorphous lignin and hemicellulose made up the fibrillar interval and cemented the fibers together. The interstice between the different compositions should be the mesopores. In this paper, the experimental results were discussed and analyzed in detail aiming at microstructure and composition distribution of kapok fiber were further investigated and modelled, which could provide reference values for the applications and product development process of domestic kapok fiber.
Smurf1 controls calcineurin complex and TFEB at a regulatory node for lysosomal biogenesis
Authors: Dong Lei 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Autophagy is a homeostatic process in response to multiple signaling, such as lysosome-dependent physiological self-degradation process of cellular components. Lysosomal stress or starvation-induced mTOR inactivation and calcineurin activation were shown to promote the nuclear translocation of transcriptional factor EB (TFEB). However, the mechanisms via which signals from endomembrane damage are transmitted to activate calcineurin and orchestrate autophagic responses remain unknown. This study aimed to show that autophagy regulator Smurf1 controlled TFEB nuclear import for transcriptional activation of the lysosomal system. We showed that blocking Smurf1 affected the global transcriptional response to lysosomal damage by downregulating subsets of TFEB targets and lysosomal biogenesis. The findings revealed galectins recognized lysosomal damage and led to galectin-3 (Gal3) association with Smurf1 and the calcineurin apparatus on lysosomes. Smurf1 directly interacted with both Gal3 and calcineurin to form and stabilize the complex, thereby activating lysosomal biogenesis independent of mTOR. Smurf1 controlled the phosphorylation activity of the calcineurin A (CNA) subunit by promoting the dissociation of its autoinhibitory domain (AID) from its catalytic domain (CD) and ubiquitylated modification. In addition, the Gal3-Smurf1-calcineurin complex and TFEB feedback stabilized each other, and Smurf1 was required for calcineurin activity as a positive regulator of TFEB. The overexpression of Smurf1 showed similar effects as the overexpression of constitutive activation of PPP3CB. Surprisingly, Smurf1 also enhanced TFEB import by directly interacting with and ubiquitylating TFEB. Thus, Smurf1, which bridges environmental stresses with the core autophagosomal and autolysosomal machinery, interacted directly with TFEB and its phosphatase PPP3CB to control TFEB activation.

Abstract
The effect of including the premix extract of the brown Sargassum ilicifolium, Nizimuddinia zanardini, Cystoseira indica and Padina australis (MPE) macroalgae in the diet on the growth performance, survival, nutritional (chemical, amino acid and fatty acid compound) and phytochemical (sterol, phenol and flavonoid),and antioxidant state (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX)) of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) was investigated in this study, where in 1200 post larvae with an average weight of 57.530.47 mg were distributed randomly by categorizing 100 pieces into 4 groups (three tank iterations per group). The control group was only fed with the concentrated feed (MPE0), while the other groups were fed with a basic diet that consisted of MPE5 (MPE5), 10 (MPE10) and 15 (MPE15) g kg− 1 of feed for 8 weeks. According to the results, the highest FW, SGR, WG and PER were recorded for the MPE15 group. The lowest FCR was observed in the group fed with MPE15 (P < 0.05). The highest level of crude protein was recorded for the groups fed with MPE10 and MPE15 (P < 0.05). The highest amount of PUFA, total sterols, phenol, flavonoid, GPX and CAT was observed in shrimps fed with MPE15. The results are generally indicative of the positive effect of the premix aqueous extract of the brown S. ilicifolium, N. zanardini, C. indica and P.australis macroalgae at the 15 g kg− 1 of MPE feed level on the growth, nutritional value and phytochemical, and antioxidant status of L. vannamei.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Background: Low tidal volume (Vt) strategy is currently the standard of care for ARDS. However, this approach may result in harmful airway pressures in severe ARDS. We report the feasibility of a combined approach of very low-VT and mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) to decrease the ventilatory load in a very severe COVID-19-related ARDS cohort.Methods: Seven patients were reported. Inclusion criteria were patients ≥ 18years-old, very severe COVID-19-related ARDS, driving pressure (DP) > 15 cmH2O despite low-VT strategy, and extracorporeal therapies were not available. Patients with uncontrolled superinfection, active bleeding, severe brain injury, or end-of-life care were excluded. MTH was induced with a surface cooling device aiming at 34ºC. MTH was maintained for 72h, followed by rewarming of 1ºC per day. VT was adjusted as tolerated, aiming at 4 ml/kg PBW. Data are shown in mean±SEM. Mixed effects analysis and Dunnett's test were used for comparisons. Significance was set at p<0.05Results: Target temperature was achieved during the first hour. Ventilatory load decreased during the first 24h, minute ventilation 180±4.7 to 154±7.5 ml/kg/min (p=0.007) and mechanical power 36±1.9 to 29±2.1 J/min (p= 0.03). At 48h VT decreased from 5.4±0.2 to 4.2±0.3 ml/kg. Surviving patients did not worsen after rewarming. Five patients survived ICU and were discharged home.Conclusions: A combined strategy of MTH and ultra-protective mechanical ventilation decreased minute ventilation and mechanical power in very severe COVID-19-related ARDS. The decreasing of ventilatory load may allow maintaining MV within safety thresholds.

Abstract

Numerous studies have found that the COVID-19 epidemic and the measures to stop it have had a substantial impact on the mental health of the general population. Nevertheless, the majority of this research only looked at the variations in the degree of psychopathological symptoms in individuals before and after the first wave of the pandemic. In a sample of N = 380 preschoolers and their mothers assessed through the Symptom Check-List/90-R and of the Child Behavior Check-List, the present study aimed at exploring psychopathological risk in mothers and their offspring’s dysregulation levels before (T1), during (T2) and after (T3) the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. Our main results showed that mothers’ relational distress increased from T1 to T2 and then increased again from T2 to T3. Moreover, maternal aggressiveness, hostility, and anxiety scores significantly decreased from T1 to T2 but slightly increased from T2 to T3. In children, dysregulation levels increased from T1 to T2 but decreased from T2 to T3. Children of mothers with clinical scores at the SCL-90/R showed significantly higher dysregulation problems at T1, T2 and T3 than children of mothers with scores below the clinical threshold. This study adds to previous literature in that it evaluates stability or change in maternal and offspring scores not only in the pre-pandemic period and during the first wave of the pandemic, but it also considers the subsequent months, focusing on a broad range of maternal symptoms, rather than assessing depressive and anxiety symptoms as most of previous research did.
Does vibration improve cavity adaptation of composite resin?
Authors: Kim Yung-Soo , Baek Seung-Ho , Kim Ryan Jin Young 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This study evaluates the effect of vibration on adaptation of bulk-fill composite resin. A scanning laser doppler vibrometer measured the frequency and amplitude of a vibratory device (COMO) used for resin placement and visualized its effect on the resin according to depth. FB was placed in simulated cavities (4 mm diameter, 4 mm depth) by different layering methods (incremental filling with two 2-mm-thick layers vs. bulk filling with a single 4-mm-thick layer). The groups were further divided based on the application of vibration during restoration (no vibration vs. vibration). The voids that formed at the bottom surface of the cavity and the bottom, middle, top third, and overall void volumes were measured using micro-computed tomography. The frequency and amplitude of the COMO were approximately 149 Hz and between 26 and 51 um, respectively. Vibration provided improved surface adaptation and lower void volumes during incremental filling (p < 0.05). Vibration applied with a 4-mm-thick bulk fill had no effect on the adaptation of composite resin (p > 0.05). Void volume was markedly higher in the bottom part in all groups. Application of vibration to the resin with a 2-mm incremental-layering technique produced the best adaptation of the composite resin.

Abstract
Social media has become a significant platform not only for communication, but also for business and marketing of content and services. These activities involve large volumes of data with different patterns that have to be harnessed for businesses or users to maximize their meaning and make relevant brand decisions. Machine learning algorithms and tools like Natural language Processing (NLP) facilitate the system’s ability to recognize, extract cloud data patterns, and classify them in a more realistic way. The previous method only made mere literal guesses to aid automated data tracking and decision-making. The aim of this study was to carry out social media data analytics using machine learning tools. In this study, we proposed novel Naïve Bayes and Maximum Entropy classifiers. These classifiers were used to conduct a sentiment analysis to categorize and analyze messages collected from Twitter in order to determine whether they are positive, negative or non-partisan, and ultimately get the targeted output. The experimental results were successful and the machine learning tools were accurate in determining the nature of the Twitter messages. The study demonstrates the capacity of machine learning algorithms in conducting actionable social media data mining and analytics.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
By researching the distance between the interface of the soft-hard rock strata and blasthole, as well as the delayed initiation time, the rock blasting effect can be more controllable. Firstly, the rationality of the blasting method was verified from three angles: the blasting coupled stress field, the ratio of the crushing area radius to the blasthole radius, and the crack network state. Under the condition of soft-hard rock strata, the numerical model of double-hole blasting was established by using PFC2D. Then delay blasting experiments were carried out under different positions between the structural plane and the blasthole, and the analysis was made from three perspectives: crack network, crack quantity and rock fragments. Results show that: (i) When detonated in hard rock, if the distance between structural plane and blasthole is greater than twice crushing area radius, the closer structural plane is to the blasthole, the more obvious the "hook" phenomenon between the two blastholes is. With the increase of delayed initiation time, "hook" phenomenon will weaken or even disappear. (ii) Based on the crack information initiated in hard rock, the law of the crack number varying with the thickness of hard rock and delay time is obtained. (iii) For initiation in hard rock, the extension range of crack is large, but less fragments are formed. The law is opposite to that initiation in structural plane and soft rock. The fragmentation increases exponentially with the increase of soft rock thickness, and the exponential function is obtained.

Abstract
Objective:To evaluate the association between sleep health characteristics and kidney stones.Methods:We performed a cross-sectional analysis using data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2007-2008). The primary exposures were self-reported sleep duration, obstructive sleep apnea and sleep difficulty. The primary outcome was nephrolithiasis. We examined the association between sleep health characteristics and kidney stones using multivariable logistic regression models and reported odds ratios (ORs).Results:After fully multivariate adjustment, obstructive sleep apnea is positively associated with the risk of kidney stones (OR=1.34, 95% CI:1.10–1.63, P=0.0037). Then, the sleep difficulty group had a 1.49-fold increased risk of kidney stone (95% CI:1.23–1.80, P < 0.0001). However, insufficient (< 7 Hours/Night) sleep seems not to be associated with kidney stone (OR=1.08, 95%CI: 0.90-1.29, P=0.3992).Conclusions:After controlling for known risk factors, obstructive sleep apnea and sleep difficulty were associated with an increased likelihood of kidney stone incidence.
