Relation Between Intervention Exposures, Changes in Attitudes, and Mammography Use in the North Carolina Breast Cancer Screening Program
Authors: Rauscher Garth H. , Earp Jo Anne L. , O'Malley Michael 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Objective: Many past interventions have been based on the assumption that improving attitudes about mammography can increase mammography use. We studied changes in breast cancer and mammography attitudes over time in mediating the effect of intervention exposures on mammography use in the North Carolina Breast Cancer Screening Program. Data came from interviews with a cohort of 331 black women who said they had heard of mammography at baseline interview. Methods: We created scores and score changes for mammography (7 items) and breast cancer (11 items) attitudes at baseline (1993–1994) and follow-up interviews (1996–1997). We modeled intervention exposures, attitude changes, and mammography use in linear risk and logistic regression. Intervention exposures were defined for mammography discussion with a project lay health advisor (“LHA advice”), mammography discussion with anyone besides a doctor or nurse, and project awareness. Results: Positive change in mammography attitudes was associated with intervention exposures and mammography use and appeared to account for a large percentage (34–98%) of the effect of mammography discussion variables on increased mammography use. Greatest effect of attitude improvement was found for women without a recent mammogram at baseline and with the least positive baseline attitude scores. Conclusion: Using cohort data enabled us to examine the role of attitude change over time on mammography use. Breast cancer screening programs should target women with the most negative mammography attitudes and the least mammography use to start with and concentrate their messages on improving attitudes specific to mammography rather than improving attitudes about breast cancer risk.
À propos des Inséparables de Simone de Beauvoir
Authors: Devaux Philippe 
Published: June 2022

Résumé
La parution posthume des Inséparables invite à distinguer les deux modalités d’ écriture par lesquelles Beauvoir a fait revivre la figure majeure pour elle de Zaza (1907-1929), son amie d’ enfance et de jeunesse : la fiction puis l’ autobiographie ; et cela à la lumière des appréciations de l’ autrice et du pacte de lecture propre à chaque modalité d’ écriture. Ces approches successives sur plusieurs décennies témoignent de la fascination constante de Beauvoir pour Zaza et incitent le lecteur à prolonger l’ exploration beauvoirienne par les écrits mêmes de Zaza.
Des Inséparables aux Mémoires d’ une jeune fille rangée
Authors: Lecarme-Tabone Éliane 
Published: June 2022

Résumé
La publication, en 2020, de la nouvelle de Beauvoir, désormais intitulée Les Inséparables, constitue une bonne surprise pour ses lecteur.trice.s. Jugée, en 1954, sans intérêt par son auteure (dont il faut interroger les motivations), elle se révèle passionnante pour comprendre la genèse des Mémoires d’ une jeune fille rangée, autobiographie qu’ elle annonce (sans l’ égaler). Elle intéresse également par elle-même, car elle apporte un éclairage supplémentaire sur l’ histoire tragique de Zaza, et sur l’ amitié qui l’ unit à la jeune Simone.
L’ héritière
Authors: Palmieri Joelle 
Published: June 2022

Résumé
Née en 1959, l’ autrice retrace depuis sa naissance 20 ans d’ histoire du prolétariat, de l’ engagement communiste, de l’ empreinte catholique, de l’ immigration en Europe et en Afrique du Nord, de la France des taudis et des banlieues. Ce parcours marqué par le féminisme et la lutte contre le patriarcat, l’ ascension et l’ intégration sociales, s’ inscrit dans les débats intellectuels de l’ époque sur le colonialisme, le racisme, le fascisme, le capitalisme, notamment portés par Boris Vian, Jean-Paul Sartre et Simone de Beauvoir, dont elle revendique la filiation.
Risking Life versus Giving Life
Authors: Zahra Sameema 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This article engages closely with Beauvoir’s claim that risk is the criterion of value. The article first discusses the meaning of “risk” and its role as the yardstick of values and then questions the contrast Beauvoir establishes between giving life and risking life by examining the experience of pregnancy. The author argues that a close reading of Beauvoir’s The Second Sex demonstrates that, once we remove the lens of patriarchy, the opposition between giving life and risking life crumbles.

Published: June 2022

Background and Aims This updated meta-analysis aimed to further quantify the risk of endometrial, ovarian, and breast cancer in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thus providing updated and more reliable estimates. Methods and Results We identified relevant articles by searching electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Chinese Biological Medical Literature (CBM) published up to March 20, 2021. The pooled effect estimates and their 95% confidence intervals ( CIs) were calculated using the random-effect model or the fixed-effect model. A total of 26 eligible studies were included. We found that PCOS was significantly associated with endometrial cancer (odds ratios [ OR]: 3.66, 95% CI: 2.05–6.54, P < 0.001), but not with ovarian or breast cancer ( OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 0.99–1.53, P = 0.059; OR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.78–1.14, P = 0.551, respectively). However, in subgroups of high-quality studies, cohort studies, younger women (54 years or less or premenopausal), and studies with unadjusted body mass index (BMI), PCOS patients had a significantly higher risk of ovarian cancer. Conclusion These results indicated that PCOS is a significant risk factor for endometrial cancer independent of BMI, but not for breast cancer. PCOS may increase the risk of ovarian cancer in younger women.
Intergenerational Proximity to Aging Parents and Depression Among Married Persons in China
Authors: Fan Jin , Zhang Weiguo , Mi Hong 
Published: June 2022

Using data from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study ( N = 3864), we examined the relationship between proximity to aging parents and depression among middle-aged (45–64 years) married individuals in China. Our study depicted and explained the declining coresident rate and showed a majority of adult children live separately from their parents. Children living in different households had higher levels of depression than coresident children, including those living adjacently. Furthermore, having a coresident spouse increased the levels of depression of sons living in an adjacent dwelling and in the same city, and reduced the levels of depression of daughters living farther away. More intergenerational economic support increased the levels of depression of daughters living in an adjacent dwelling. These findings may offer a reference for married adult children to reconstruct intergenerational proximity and adjust intergenerational relations.
Intermittent selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for premenstrual syndromes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials

Published: June 2022

Background: Intermittent (luteal phase) dosing of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors is one treatment strategy for premenstrual syndromes such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder. This avoids the risk of the antidepressant withdrawal syndrome associated with long-term continuous dosing. Aims: To compare intermittent dosing to continuous dosing in terms of efficacy and acceptability. Methods: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed and CINAHL for randomised trials of intermittent compared with continuous dosing of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in premenstrual syndromes. We extracted response rates, dropout rates and changes in symptom scores. We used random effects meta-analyses to pool study-level data and calculated odds ratio for dichotomous data and standardised mean difference for continuous data. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020224176). Results: A total of 1841 references were identified, with eight studies being eligible for analysis, consisting of a total of 460 participants. All included studies provided response rates, six provided dropout rates and five provided symptom scores. There was no statistically significant differences between intermittent and continuous dosing in terms of response rate (odds ratio: 1.0, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.23–4.31, I2 = 71%), dropout rate (odds ratio 1.26, 95% CI: 0.39–4.09, I2 = 33%) or symptom change (standardised mean difference: 0.04, 95% CI: −0.27 to 0.35, I2 = 39%). All studies had a moderate or high risk of bias. Conclusion: Since intermittent dosing avoids the potential for withdrawal symptoms, it should be considered more commonly in this patient population.

Authors: Zhao Jingwei , Wang, Master Xinxin 
Published: June 2022

Aim: This study checked the effects of landscape types and complexity along path in urban green spaces on perceived restorativeness, so as to provide guidance for path landscape design. Background: Paths in urban green spaces are not only the connections between places but also places for visitors reducing mental stress and seeking psychological well-being. However, there is a lack of evidence-based research on the effects of landscape composition along the path on restorative quality, failing to provide a cohesive guideline for practice. Methods: Fourteen videos representing the popular path landscapes in urban green spaces were produced using computer software by adding or/and deleting elements and controlling environmental components. The restorative quality of these videos was measured by Short-version Revised Restoration Scale (SRRS). Statistical analysis was employed to treat the data and checked the effects of different landscape types and complexity on restorative quality. Results: (1) A significant difference in restorative quality between 14 path landscapes was found, comparatively, the path containing lawn or(and) forest was much better than that containing bamboo and waterscape, and bamboo was a negative predictor of restorative quality; (2) waterscape generally reduced the restorative quality of vegetated path landscape, especially when the landscape possessed higher restorative quality; (3) path landscape complexity had a weak influence on restorative quality. Conclusions: This study explains how path landscapes affect mental restoration of users, and these findings contribute to enhancing the restorative quality of urban green spaces and have applications for path landscape design.

Objective Adolescent females in the United States continue to have unmet sexual and reproductive healthcare needs. Research shows that interventions incorporating peer support can augment perceived self-efficacy and reinforce healthy behaviors. Yet, few user-centered digital sexual health interventions incorporate peer support, and aim to change perceptions of peer norms and model social skills. The objective of this study was to design and demonstrate the receptivity of adolescent females to illustrated digital social media stories that promote healthy sexual behaviors and peer social support. Methods We conducted a three-phase study approved by our Institutional Review Board. In Phase 1, we presented sexually active adolescent female emergency department patients aged 14–19 with eight sexual health scenarios via a survey study. Participants wrote three text messages addressed to the protagonist of each scenario which motivated and encouraged her to consider the use of contraceptives. Messages were scored based on the construct of peer support (emotional, tangible, informational, and belonging). In Phase 2, we worked with a professional artist and screenwriter to design digital sexual health comics using the gathered messages. In Phase 3, we gathered feedback on the comics from adolescent female emergency department patients. Results Females ( n  =  22) provided 352 messages. Using top rated messages, we designed five digital visualizations in a running story called Mari tells it like it is. Each story incorporated 5–12 peer-authored quotes. We inserted the final images into Instagram®. Additional females ( n  =  39) found the images “relatable,” “super-realistic,” and “educational.” Conclusion Collecting peer-authored texts from our local adolescent community led to the creation of well-received sexual health visualizations. This novel method of design incorporated adolescent voices to promote peer support and healthy behaviors.

Published: June 2022

Introduction: Facial fractures in children account for 15% of all facial fractures in the general population. Children are more likely to have mandibular fractures than midface fractures, with condylar fractures being the most prevalent, followed by parasymphysis, angle, and body fractures. The low prevalence of mandibular fractures in children can be linked to the safe environment they are provided with as well as their unique growing patterns. Pediatric patients present a unique challenge to maxillofacial surgeons in terms of their treatment planning and in their functional needs. Materials and Methods: A prospective analysis of pediatric patients with mandibular symphysis/parasymphysis/body fractures operated from January 2016 to October 2021 was performed. Clinical photographs and orthopantomogram assessment at the time of presentation, after treatment, and at 6 months postoperatively were evaluated. Result: All 17 patients were followed up until the period of 6 months, and none of them had any major complications. Postoperatively, there was satisfactory healing and union of fracture fragments in all the patients. Only 1 patient developed an infection in the submental region. In each case, the surgical splint was removed during 15 to 21 postoperative days. The 6-month follow-up showed good occlusion, without interference in teeth eruption, and no signs of temporomandibular joint problems. Conclusions: In our study, because of the sheer ease of fabrication, maintenance of periodontal tissue integrity, patient compliance, and convenience of measuring the occlusion following reduction, we chose an acrylic cap splint followed by circummandibular wiring.

Abstract
In preclinical studies, we investigated a novel mechanism of in situ vaccination in lymphoma. Radiation therapy (RT) can induce abscopal responses in lymphoma models, but this has not translated into clinical efficacy. We hypothesized that immune stimulation with cytosine guanine dinucleotide (CpG) deoxynucleotides could enhance abscopal effects induced by RT or photothermal therapy (PTT), which has been shown to have an immune stimulatory effect in solid tumors but has not been studied in lymphoma. We designed a branched gold nanoparticle (NP) platform to carry CpG deoxynucleotides while maintaining PTT function and compared the immunologic profile of the tumor microenvironment after PTT or RT in a dual-flank lymphoma model. One flank was treated with CpG deoxynucleotides with RT or PTT, and the other tumor was left untreated. We found that the CpG deoxynucleotide/PTT group had significant reduction in growth in both treated (primary) and untreated (secondary) tumors, suggesting an improved abscopal response, with a concomitant increase in CD8/CD4 and cytotoxic T-cell/regulatory T-cell ratios in both primary and secondary tumors compared with CpG deoxynucleotides/RT. Dendritic cells in primary and secondary draining lymph nodes had increased maturation markers in the CpG deoxynucleotide/PTT group, and the effector memory T cells (both CD4 and CD8) in the secondary tumor and spleen were increased, suggesting a systemic vaccination effect. These data suggest that in a lymphoma model, PTT using a CpG deoxynucleotide NP platform resulted in enhanced in situ vaccination and abscopal response compared with RT.
Synaptic Plasticity and Quantized Conductance States in TiN-Nanoparticles-Based Memristor for Neuromorphic System

Published: June 2022

AbstractControlled conductive filament formation in the resistive random access memory device is an essential requirement for analog resistive switching to develop artificial synapses. In this work, we have studied Au/Ti/HfAlOx/TiN-NP/HfAlOx/ITO RRAM device to demonstrate conductance quantization behavior to achieve the high-density memory application. Stepwise change in conductance under DC and pulse voltage confirms the quantized conductance states with integer and half-integer multiples of G0. Reactive TiN-NPs inside the switching layer helps to form and rupture the atomic scale conductive filaments due to enhancing the local electric field inside. Bipolar resistive switching characteristics at low SET/RESET voltage were obtained with memory window > 10 and stable endurance of 103 cycles. Short-term and long-term plasticities are successfully demonstrated by modulating the pre-spike number, magnitude, and frequency. The quantized conductance behavior with promising synaptic properties obtained in the experiments suggests HfAlOx/TiN-NP/HfAlOx switching layer is suitable for multilevel high-density storage RRAM devices.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundShotgun metagenomics yields ever richer and larger data volumes on the complex communities living in diverse environments. Extracting deep insights from the raw reads heavily depends on the availability of fast, accurate and user-friendly biodiversity analysis tools.ResultsBecause environmental samples may contain strains and species that are not covered in reference databases and because protein sequences are more conserved than the genes encoding them, we explore the alternative route of taxonomic profiling based on protein coding regions translated from the shotgun metagenomics reads, instead of directly processing the DNA reads. We therefore developed the Unipept MetaGenomics Analysis Pipeline (UMGAP), a highly versatile suite of open source tools that are implemented in Rust and support parallelization to achieve optimal performance. Six preconfigured pipelines with different performance trade-offs were carefully selected, and benchmarked against a selection of state-of-the-art shotgun metagenomics taxonomic profiling tools.ConclusionsUMGAP’s protein space detour for taxonomic profiling makes it competitive with state-of-the-art shotgun metagenomics tools. Despite our design choices of an extra protein translation step, a broad spectrum index that can identify both archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes and viruses, and a highly configurable non-monolithic design, UMGAP achieves low runtime, manageable memory footprint and high accuracy. Its interactive visualizations allow for easy exploration and comparison of complex communities.

Abstract
Background
Temperate maize inbred lines with expired Plant Variety Protection Act certificates (Ex-PVP) are potential sources of desirable alleles for tropical germplasm improvement. Up to now, the usefulness of the Ex-PVP inbred lines as a potential source of novel beneficial alleles for Striga hermonthica resistance breeding to enhance genetic gain in tropical maize has not been reported.

Results
This study was thus conducted to characterize the combining ability of 24 Ex-PVP inbred lines in crosses with two tropical Striga resistant inbred testers under Striga-infested and non-infested conditions and across three locations for 2 years. Many testcrosses between Ex-PVP inbred lines and the first tester (T1) produced competitive or significantly higher grain yields compared to the hybrid between the two resistant testers under Striga infested and non-infested conditions and across multiple test locations. Also, most of the testcrosses with positive heterosis for grain yield and negative heterosis for Striga damage and emerged Striga count involved T1 as a tester. Our study identified six Ex-PVP inbred lines with positive GCA effects for grain yield under Striga infested and non-infested conditions and across multiple test locations. Amongst these, inbred lines HB8229-1 and WIL900-1 also displayed negative GCA effects for emerged Striga count and Striga damage rating. The inbred line HB8229-1 showed positive SCA effects for grain yield with T2, whereas WIL900-1 had positive SCA effects for grain yield with T1. Over 70% of the Ex-PVP inbred lines were consistently assigned to specific heterotic groups using yield-based classifying methods (mean grain yield and SCA effects).

Conclusions
These results could facilitate systematic introgression of the Ex-PVP inbred lines into the existing Striga resistant heterotic groups in IITA. The Ex-PVP inbred lines with positive GCA effects and producing high grain yields in hybrid combinations could be useful parents for enhancing Striga resistance and agronomic performance of tropical maize hybrids.
