Authors: Minato Haruka , Sasaki Yuma , Honda Kenshiro , Watanabe Takumi , Suzuki Daisuke 
Published: August 2022

AbstractAlthough methods to suppress macroscopic nonuniform structures, e.g., due to the coffee‐ring effect, have been established, the formation of specific patterns during the evaporation of water from sessile droplets that contain colloidal particles remains challenging. In this study, it is discovered that the surface modification of colloidal particles by soft hydrogels provides a means to control the adsorption kinetics on the air/water interface. Especially binary mixtures of such core/shell colloids exhibit unique adsorption behavior that manifests in adsorption races to the interface, resulting in the formation of patterns of binary colloidal particles as well as in a suppression of the coffee‐ring effect. These results can be expected to be beneficial for applications such as inkjet coating, where the required micro‐patterns are controlled via the evaporation of solvents.

Published: August 2022

AbstractFerromagnetic nanostripes have gained massive attention due to their intriguing magnetic properties associated with dimensional confinements and shape anisotropy leading toward potential applications in magnetic storage, memory, and spin‐wave‐based devices. Consequently, reconfiguration of their static and dynamic magnetic properties by the geometric parameters and external field is imperative. Here, a combined experimental and numerical study of the reconfigurable spin‐wave dynamics in arrays of ferromagnetic nanostripes by the stripe thickness and external magnetic field strength and orientation is presented. Different uniform, localized, and standing spin waves in the nanostripes and their monotonic and nonmonotonic variation, including mode merging with these parameters, are observed. The observed variations are interpreted with the aid of simulated spin configurations, magnetostatic field maps, and spin‐wave mode profiles. Further numerical study reveals anisotropic spin‐wave propagation in nanostripes for different thicknesses and in different bias‐field geometry opening potential applications in magnonic circuit components such as reconfigurable magnonic waveguides and omnidirectional spin‐wave emitters.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBi(OTf)3‐catalyzed one‐pot tandem cyclocondensation of oxygenated arylacetic acids with salicyl alcohols provides 5‐oxadibenzo[a,d]cycloocten‐6‐ones in moderate to good yields under the refluxing MeNO2 conditions. A plausible mechanism is proposed and discussed here. In the overall reaction process, water was the only byproduct which was generated. Various metal triflates‐promoted reaction conditions are investigated for the one‐pot efficient (4+4) annulation.magnified image

Published: August 2022

AbstractThe monitoring of saline levels during medication has become a tedious process for practitioners. Regardless of the infusion bag size, real‐time wireless monitoring is essential in the healthcare medical sector. This paper demonstrates a size‐independent infusion bag liquid level monitoring system based on highly stretchable (>100% tensile strain) hydrogel‐based electrodes. The sensor uses coplanar capacitive electrodes to sense changes in the liquid level and is integrated with a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) to monitor the liquid level in real‐time wirelessly. Regardless of the sensor's extensibility, the linear relationship between the ∆C/C0 and the drop in liquid level, and the difference in the ∆C/C0 values corresponding to liquid fill and empty states remained approximately the same. The sensor integrated with an FPCB delivered continuous liquid‐level data to a mobile device in real‐time without any obvious error.

AbstractSynthetic sex steroids are widely used to produce all‐male stocks in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). However, there is a growing concern about the use of synthetic steroid hormones in fish as food. We investigated the efficacy of a natural sex hormone as an alternative to synthetic steroids in producing monosex male tilapia. Two‐day‐old fry were fed pine pollen powder at three different concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%) for 28 days and subsequently reared for 3 months to observe the efficacy of pine pollen as well as to optimize the concentration for sex reversal. As a positive control, same‐aged fry of three different commercial tilapia hatcheries were fed synthetic steroid and 17‐α‐methyl testosterone‐treated feed (60 mg/kg) for the same duration. Before analyzing the phenotypic sex, the fish were reared on untreated commercial feed for 90 days in separate tanks. The 1.0% pine pollen treatment yielded a mean of 92.50 ± 0.51% males among the progeny, higher than the mean (89.49 ± 0.25%) obtained from synthetic steroid treatments. This result demonstrates that pine pollen could be an effective compound for the direct masculinization of Nile tilapia. We also obtained a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the growth performance and survival of tilapia using the dietary allotment of pine pollen. Our study suggests the feasibility of this compound as an eco‐friendly method of masculinization of tilapia and can be tried in commercial aquaculture practice.

AbstractObjectivesWe applied stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses to wild Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus morio) to investigate the feeding ecology of wild orangutans. Compared with African great ape species, orangutans are adapted to environments with chronic lower nutrition. But the usefulness of stable isotope analysis in the study of wild orangutan feeding ecology has not been fully explored.MethodsThe study site was a primary lowland dipterocarp forest in the Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia. A total of 164 plant and 94 fecal samples collected across 18 months were analyzed.ResultsCarbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of plant food samples do not systematically vary by plant parts (i.e., bark, fruits, and leaves). Elemental composition and stable isotope ratios of orangutan feces do not systematically vary by orangutans' sex and age classes, although fecal stable isotope ratios showed seasonal fluctuations. No isotopic contribution of breast milk was found in fecal samples collected from individuals at 2.7–6.5 years of age.ConclusionsThis study revealed key characteristics of the stable isotope ecology of wild orangutans living in a primary lowland forest. Although there was little isotopic variation among plant foods and orangutan individuals, seasonal fluctuations in baseline isotope ratios or orangutans' diet were found in Danum valley.

AbstractEs wird ein einfacher Zugang zu einer Alumaboran‐Spezies mit elektronenpräziser Al−B σ‐Bindung vor‐gestellt. Die reduktive Umlagerung von 1‐(AlI2), 8‐(BMes2)‐Naphthalin (Mes=2,4,6‐Me3C6H2) ermöglicht die Bildung der Alumaboran‐speziescyclo‐(1,8‐C10H6)‐[1‐Al(Mes)(OEt2)‐8‐B(Mes)] mit einer ko‐valenten Al−B σ‐Bindung. Diese Al−B σ‐Bindung bewirkt die reduktive Spaltung von Mehrfachbindungen: S=C(NiPrCMe)2ergibt die naphthalinverbrückende Struktur B−S−Al(NHC), NHC=N‐Hetero‐cyclisches Carben, während O=CPh2desoxygeniert wird, um eine B−O−Al‐verbrückende Spezies zu erhalten, bei der das verbliebene=CPh2‐Fragment in das Naphthalingerüst eingebaut wird. Die Re‐aktion mit Isonitril Xyl‐N≡C (Xyl=2,6‐Me2C6H4) erfolgt über eine vorgeschlagene (Aminoboryl‐)Carben‐Spezies, die ein weiteres Äquivalent Isonitril hinzufügt, um die Al−N−B‐verbrückende Speziescyclo‐(1,8‐C10H6)‐[1‐Al(Mes)‐N(Xyl)‐8‐B{C(Mes)=C−N‐Xyl}] unter voll‐ständiger Spaltung der C≡N‐Dreifachbindung zu bilden. Die letztgenannte Reaktion wird anhand isolierter Zwischenstufen sowie durch DFT‐Berechnungen unterstützt.
Faculty retirements will likely exacerbate the anatomy educator shortage

Published: August 2022

AbstractMedical education has reported a shortage of anatomy educators since the 1960s. While the faculty pipeline has recently been explored, insights into retirement intentions, a key driver of faculty turnover, have yet to be investigated. With the mean age of anatomists rising, knowledge of retirement intentions among current educators is essential to understanding the anatomy educator shortage. This study explored the retirement intentions of current anatomy educators and their likely effects on the workforce. Surveys were distributed to department heads and the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) membership to inquire about job postings from 2018–2020 and retirement intentions, respectively. Department heads sought to fill open positions due to faculty retirements (36%, 15 of 42), faculty relocations/sabbaticals/new responsibilities (31%), and brand new positions (24%). The retirement intentions survey revealed that 61% (23 of 38) of faculty ‘55 and older’ intend to retire within five years. Based on the extrapolation of AAA membership data, estimates suggest that almost twice as many anatomy faculty could retire per year (n = 40) over the next five years compared to the estimated number of annual PhD graduates (n = 22) likely to enter the workforce. Factors driving retirement intentions were overwhelmingly age and finances, followed by job satisfaction and family. The creation of new anatomy educator positions to address increased student enrollments and new health sciences programs is likely to place even greater strain on workforce demands.

AbstractBackgroundFavipiravir is one of the essential antiviral drugs used for the treatment of coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) in some countries. However, there is not enough information about used, especially in pregnancy. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to determine the developmental toxicity of favipiravir on fetal bone development and embryonic development.MethodsIn this study, 16 pregnant wistar albino rats were used. The rats were divided into four groups: Control (saline) and Group A (50 mg/kg × 5 days), Group B (50 mg/kg × 1 days + 20 mg/kg × 4 days), Group C (20 mg/kg × 5 days). Solutions were administered to the rats by oral gavage from the 10th to 14th days of pregnancy, twice a day. The skeletal system development of fetuses was examined with double skeletal staining and immunohistochemical staining methods.ResultsA total of 72 fetuses from pregnant rats, 18 in each group, were included in the study. As a result, depending on favipiravir dose increase, in experimental groups, it was determined that the statistically significant decrease on the ossification rates of anterior and posterior extremity bones, and length and weight of fetuses.ConclusionExposure to favipiravir during pregnancy impairs bone metabolism and bone formation‐resorption stages and may cause developmental delay.

AbstractTransition metal oxides (TMOs) are potential anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their superior theoretical capacities, environmental benignity and abundant supply. However, because of the intrinsically poor conductivity, inevitable volume variation, inferior capacity and cyclic stability, the progress of TMOs in practical application is seriously hindered. In this study, a new N‐doped carbon concave‐dodecahedron has been successfully manufactured through a facile method utilizing bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZnCo‐ZIF) as both precursor and sacrificial template, in which ultrafine ZnO/Co3ZnC nanoparticles uniformly distributed on the surface can provide additional active sites to effectively accelerate the diffusion of lithium ions. As a result, the as‐prepared ZnO/Co3ZnC/C (ZCC) anode exhibits outstanding mechanical tolerance during lithiation process. Attributed to the superior structure and compositional optimization, the ZCC anode achieves remarkable electrochemical performance with considerable high‐rate capacity (424 mAh g−1 at 2.0 A g−1) and ultralong cyclability (942 mAh g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 after 300 cycles).

Published: August 2022

AbstractWhen calculating structural or spectroscopic properties of molecular crystals, the question arises whether it is sufficient to simulate only a single molecule or a small molecular cluster or whether the simulation of the entire crystal is indispensable. In this work we juxtapose calculations on the high‐pressure structural properties of the (periodic) HCN crystal and chains of HCN molecules of finite length. We find that, in most cases, the behavior of the crystal can be reproduced by computational methods simulating only around 15 molecules. The pressure‐induced lengthening of the C−H bond in HCN found in calculations on both the periodic and finite material are explained in terms of orbital interaction. Our results pave the way for a more thorough understanding of high‐pressure structural properties of materials and give incentives for the design of materials that expand under pressure. In addition, they shed light on the complementarity between calculations on periodic materials and systems of finite size.

AbstractObjectivesDiet is one of the main factors influencing the diversity and interactions of the oral microbiota. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of sugar intake on the microbial diversity and bacteria that predominate under these conditions.Material and MethodsA systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guide, using the PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct databases and combinations of the words “microbiota,” “microbiology,” “bacteria,” “sugars,” “dysbiosis,” “caries,” “microbiome,” “oral microbial,” and “oral microbiota profile pattern.” The selection criteria included year, language, type of publication, comparison of microbiota during low and high sugar intake, and bacterial identification by molecular sequencing of the 16S subunit of ribosomal RNA.ResultsOut of a total of 374 papers that came up after the initial search, 8 met the criteria for this review. The papers included research on populations comprising children, young adults, and adults, with most of the studies reporting selection criteria for the participants and using validated instruments to determine sugar intake. Apart from one study, all others reported for high sugar intake conditions a significant decrease in microbial diversity of the oral microbiome and the predominance of several bacterial genera or species, including Streptococcus, Scardovia, Veillonella, Rothia, Actinomyces, and Lactobacillus.ConclusionsSugar‐rich diets have a significantly unfavorable effect on the diversity and balance of oral microbiota; however, further studies are required to determine the exact role of sugar in microbial interactions.

AbstractIntroductionDiabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious acute complication of diabetes mellitus that carries a significant risk of mortality with delayed treatment in low‐resource countries. This study aimed to determine the outcome of paediatric DKA patients' managed with a modified DKA treatment protocol using intermittent bolus subcutaneous insulin administration.MethodsA cross‐sectional study design with retrospective data collection was conducted among children younger than 14 years of age admitted from January 2013 to February 2017. A modified protocol was prepared based on a reference from the international society for paediatric and adolescent diabetes and other international guidelines. Data were analysed using Statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 22.0. Descriptive statistics were performed. Binary logistic regression was used to identify associations, and significant variables were further considered for multivariate logistic regression to determine the outcome of DKA patients.ResultAmong the 190 patients, 55.5% (n = 105) were newly diagnosed. The overall average time required for resolution of DKA was 48 ± 27.8 h. Mental status on presentation (p = .001), shock on presentation (p < .01) and severity of DKA (p < .001) were found to have a significant association with the mean time for clearance of DKA. Hypoglycaemia was the most common treatment‐related complication, which occurred in 23.7% of patients (n = 45) followed by hypokalaemia in 4.3% of patients (n = 8), and no patient developed cerebral oedema and death.ConclusionThe time required for clearance of DKA was prolonged, and hypoglyceamia was a common complication for children younger than 5 years of age. The modified protocol of DKA is reasonable management for low‐resource settings with further modification.

AbstractCobalt tripodal iminopyridine complexes [Co(L)]2+ (1–4), where L=cis,cis,–1,3,5‐tris(pyridine‐2‐carboxaldimino)‐cyclohexane (1) and its derivatives, bearing substituents of varying electronic properties at the pyridine moieties, act as water reduction catalysts (WRCs) under visible light (λ>420 nm) in aqueous acetonitrile (2.5 %, v/v), using tri(n‐butyl)triazatriagulenium (TATA+) as the organic photosensitizer and triethylamine (TEA) as the sacrificial donor. In the presence of added acetic acid, enhanced turnover numbers (TONs) of 1430–2810 were recorded with the substituted catalysts (2–4), which are attributed to the varied catalytic potential (Ecat) upon the introduction of the substituents.
