BackgroundSleep occupies one third of a person’s life, and good sleep quality is an important factor to ensure good health.PurposeThis study investigated and analyzed the occupational stress, mental health and sleep quality of oil workers, analyzed the effects of occupational stress and mental health on sleep, and explored the effects of the interaction between occupational stress, mental health and cytokines on sleep.Materials and methodsIn this study, stratified cluster random sampling was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey on the occupational stress, mental health and sleep quality of 1,141 oil workers in the Occupational Health Examination Department of Karamay Central Hospital, from June 2019 to January 2020, and 30% of the participants were randomly selected for measurement of their cytokine levels: interleukin 2 (IL-2), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). The objectives were to analyze the effects of occupational stress and mental health on sleep quality, and to explore the effects of occupational stress, mental disorders and cytokine interactions on sleep.ResultsThere were 646 individuals (56.6%) who suffered from sleep disorders; the incidence of sleep disorders differed according to sex, age, professional title, working years, type of work and shift (P &lt; 0.05). The scores for occupational stress, mental health, and sleep quality were positively correlated (P &lt; 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (30–45 years) (OR = 1.753, 95% CI: 1.067–2.881), junior college and above (OR = 1.473, 95% CI: 1.025–2.118), borehole operation (OR = 2.689, 95% CI: 1.508–4.792), extraction of oil (OR = 2.405, 95% CI: 1.229–4.705), drilling (OR = 1.791, 95% CI: 1.017–3.155), shift work (OR = 2.144, 95% CI: 1.615–2.846), occupational stress (OR = 1.007, 95% CI: 1.002–1.013), and mental disorders (OR = 1.020, 95% CI: 1.009–1.032) are risk factors for sleep disorders. In the high occupational stress group and the mental disorders group as the control group, the results showed that the interaction between IL-2 and moderate occupational stress (OR = 0.778, 95% CI: 0.778–0.942), IL-2 and non-mental disorders (OR = 0.398, 95% CI: 0.398–0.468) were protective factors for the occurrence of sleep disorders. The results of structural equation modeling analysis showed that occupational stress and mental health had positive predictive effects on IL-2 level and sleep quality [normalized path coefficients (β) were 0.10\0.06\0.05\0.71, respectively]. Occupational stress had a direct positive predictive effect on mental disorder (β = 0.25), and sleep disorder had a direct negative predictive effect on IL-2 concentration (β = −0.21).ConclusionOil workers have serious sleep problems, so effective measures should be taken to reduce occupational stress and relieve mental health problems, and cytokine levels can be used as a predictor of sleep disorders.

IntroductionResearch on borderline personality disorder (BPD) has shown that less intensive care is especially effective when patients have been told about their condition. However, problems with diagnosing the disorder are also described in the literature. This study thus aims to explore the factors associated with the challenges of identifying and then communicating a BPD diagnosis to patients.MethodsWe analyzed a database of 202 patients of Toulouse University Hospital (France) who had a CIM−10 F60.3 diagnosis. This data was used to identify the sociodemographic and clinical benchmarks associated with patients who had received an established BPD diagnosis prior to their attendance at the hospital's emergency department (ED) in the study period.ResultsSixty-three percentage of the patients admitted to our psychiatric ED had been given an earlier diagnosis of BPD. Those who had not been diagnosed were more likely to: not have undergone any psychiatric follow-up; not have been hospitalized in the psychiatry department; and not have previously attended at the ED. Patients with BPD and a comorbidity of MDD were also less likely to have received a BPD diagnosis before their ED admission.ConclusionThis study found that patients without an established BPD diagnosis who present at the ED are more likely to not be known to the psychiatric care system. This suggests that EDs have a specific role to play in making a diagnosis and the subsequent orientation of care.

BackgroundHypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Saudi Arabia affecting 31.4% of the population. The Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R) is a validated and reliable tool for assessing the perception of hypertension among patients. This cross-sectional study aimed to translate the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) into Arabic and validate it among Arabic patients with hypertension from the outpatient departments of the Prince Sattam University Hospital and King Khalid Hospital (KKH) in Al-Kharj City in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.MethodsA bilingual panel of doctors and medical translators was assembled to translate the IPQ-R into Arabic. The questionnaire was administered to 100 adult Arabic speaking patients with clinically diagnosed primary hypertension. Patients with secondary hypertension or complications of hypertension were excluded from the study.ResultsFifty-seven patients (57%) were male and sixty-five (65%) were older than 40 years. Headache was the most common symptom of hypertension reported by 65% of the participants. The internal consistency of the questionnaire excluding the domain of ‘Disease Identity' was 0.76 indicating satisfactory consistency. There were weak to moderate positive linear correlations (r = 0.003–0.561) between the domains of IPQ–R suggesting a reasonable discriminant validity among the domains.ConclusionThe Arabic version of the IPQ-R for hypertensive patients is a consistent, valid, and reliable tool to be used by researchers or clinicians for assessing knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes of Arabic speaking patients with hypertension living in Saudi Arabia.

ObjectiveRobot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a dynamically evolving technique with its new evolution of single-site RARP. Here we sought to describe our extraperitoneal technique, named the single-site multiport RARP (ssmpRARP) using the da Vinci Si® platform and compare it with the transperitoneal conventional multiport RARP (cmpRARP).Materials and MethodsData were retrospectively collected for patients who underwent RARP for localized prostate cancer from June 2020 to January 2022 in a single center. Propensity score matching was performed based on age, prostate size, body mass index, neoadjuvant hormonal therapy usage, prostate-specific antigen levels, and clinical T stage. The differences between the matched two groups were investigated.ResultsOf the patients, 20 underwent ssmpRARP and 42 underwent cmpRARP during the period. After matching, 18 patients from each group were selected. Median follow-up was 7.8 months (2–12 months) for the ssmpRARP group, and 15.0 months (3–26 months) for cmpRARP. The demographic features between the two groups were comparable. The median total operative time, estimated blood loss, pathologic data, early follow-up outcomes, and hospitalization stays and costs were similar between the two groups. The ssmpRARP group tended to return to their bowel activities earlier (44.78 ± 10.83 h vs. 54.89 ± 12.97 h, p = 0.016). There were no significant differences in complication rates.ConclusionsWe demonstrated the feasibility and safety of performing extraperitoneal ssmpRARP using the da Vinci Si® robotic platform. Our technique showed comparable short-term outcomes with the transperitoneal cmpRARP. Prospective trials and long-term follow-up are necessary to confirm these results.

Published: September 2022

BackgroundThe free anterolateral thigh perforator (ALTP) flap has been successfully adopted to reconstruct traumatic soft tissue defects in the lower extremities. However, the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in donor or recipient veins has been overlooked, and there has been no reliable guideline to manage it. Therefore, in this study, we review our cases where the ALTP flaps were transferred to traumatic lower limbs even though DVT was found in the pedicle or recipient veins. Furthermore, based on our experiences, we suggest an algorithmic approach for dealing with DVT.Patients and methodsThis study included 108 patients who underwent lower extremity reconstruction using a free ALTP flap between January 2014 and January 2021. All medical records were reviewed, including preoperative assessment data, intraoperative findings, and postoperative complications. Notably, when DVT was found in both the donor and recipient veins, we thoroughly assessed operative findings, surgical solutions, and final outcomes.ResultsSixty-one of 108 (56.4%) patients underwent computed tomographic venography (CTV) preoperatively, revealing DVT in 11 of these 61 (18%) patients. Three of these 11 patients had iliofemoral DVT, and surgery was delayed more than two weeks after detection. The remaining eight patients had calf DVT and underwent free ALTP flap transfer as scheduled. Conversely, 47 of 108 (43.6%) patients did not undergo CTV, and an occult DVT was found in five of these 47 (10.6%) patients. In two of these five patients, free flap surgery was replaced with amputation and local flap coverage. In the remaining three patients and one patient with an occult DVT that was not found on CTV, the free ALTP flap transfer was carried out. In 15 patients with DVT, free ALTP flap transfer was performed using various alternative methods for venorrhaphy. Consequently, all flaps survived, with partial necrosis occurring in two patients.ConclusionIf DVT-affected veins are appropriately managed, the free ALTP flap can be successfully transferred to the traumatic lower limb even when DVT occurs in donor or recipient veins. The author's algorithm can help surgeons overcome the insufficiency of veins for pedicle anastomosis due to DVT and avoid postoperative thromboembolic complications.

The current research was designed to explore the Blepharispermum hirtum Oliver (Asteraceae) stem and leaves essential oil (EO) composition extracted through hydro-distillation using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for the first time. The EOs of the stem and leaves of B. hirtum were comparatively studied for the in vitro antidiabetic and anticancer potential using in vitro α-glucosidase and an MTT inhibition assay, respectively. In both of the tested samples, the same number of fifty-eight compounds were identified and contributed 93.88% and 89.07% of the total oil composition in the EOs of the stem and leaves of B. hirtum correspondingly. However, camphene was observed as a major compound (23.63%) in the stem EO, followed by β-selinene (5.33%) and β-elemene (4.66%) and laevo-β-pinene (4.38%). While in the EO of the leaves, the dominant compound was found to be 24-norursa-3,12-diene (9.08%), followed by β-eudesmol (7.81%), β-selinene (7.26%), thunbergol (5.84%), and caryophyllene oxide (5.62%). Significant antidiabetic potential was observed with an IC50 of 2.10 ± 0.57 µg/mL by the stem compared to the EO of the leaves of B. hirtum, having an IC50 of 4.30 ± 1.56 µg/mL when equated with acarbose (IC50 = 377.71 ± 1.34 µg/mL). Furthermore, the EOs offered considerable cytotoxic capabilities for MDA-MB-231. However, the EO of the leaves presented an IC50 = 88.4 ± 0.5 μg/mL compared to the EO of the stem of B. hirtum against the triple-negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines with an IC50 = 123.6 ± 0.8 μg/mL. However, the EOs were also treated with the human breast epithelial (MCF-10A) cell line, and from the results, it has been concluded that these oils did not produce much harm to the normal cell lines. Hence, the present research proved that the EOs of B. hirtum might be used to cure diabetes mellitus and human breast cancer. Moreover, further studies are considered to be necessary to isolate the responsible bioactive constituents to devise drugs for the observed activities.

(1)Objective: In this study, a quantitative analysis of chemical groups (the triterpenoids, water-soluble polysaccharides, and acidic polysaccharides) and quantitative high liquid performance chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint of Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf (PC) for quality control was developed. (2) Methodology: First, three main chemical groups, including triterpenoids, water-soluble polysaccharides, and acidic polysaccharides, in 16 batches of PC were evaluated by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. Afterward, the quantitative fingerprint of PC was established, and the alcohol extract of PC was further evaluated. The method involves establishing 16 batches of PC fingerprints by HPLC, evaluating the similarity of different batches of PC, and identifying eight bioactive components, including poricoic acid B (PAB), dehydrotumulosic acid (DTA), poricoic acid A (PAA), polyporenic acid C (PAC), 3-epidehydrotumulosic acid (EA), dehydropachymic acid (DPA), dehydrotrametenolic acid (DTA-1), and dehydroeburicoic acid (DEA), in PC by comparison with the reference substance. Combined with the quantitative analysis of multi-components by a single marker (QAMS), six bioactive ingredients, including PAB, DTA, PAC, EA, DPA, and DEA, in PC from different places were established. In addition, the multivariate statistical analyses, such as principal component analysis and heatmap hierarchical clustering analysis are more intuitive, and the visual analysis strategy was used to evaluate the content of bioactive components in 16 batches of PC. Finally, the analysis strategy of three main chemical groups in PC was combined with the quantitative fingerprint strategy, which reduced the error caused by the single method. (3) Results: The establishment of a method for the quantification of chemical groups and quantitative HPLC fingerprint of PC was achieved as demonstrated through the quantification of six triterpenes in PC by a single marker. (4) Conclusions: Through qualitative and quantitative chemical characterization, a multi-directional, simple and efficient routine evaluation method of PC quality was established. The results reveal that this strategy can provide an analytical method for the quality evaluation of PC and other Chinese medicinal materials.

This research was conducted using a descriptive study approach. This descriptive qualitative research aims to conduct an in-depth exploration of the role of social media (Instagram) and its implications for lifestyle in the city of Banjarmasin for FISIP students at Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin. This study used in-depth interviews with 20 informants, namely students of FISIP, Lambung Mangkurat University, Banjarmasin. The results of this study indicate that social media (Instagram) is very popular among young people, because it is considered more appropriate to their needs than other social media (such as Facebook which is considered more identical for older people). Social media (Instagram) has become an inseparable part of lifestyle in the scope of activities of daily life today. The position of social media (Instagram) in life can already be considered as a primary need because the intensity of access is > 10 hours per day. Through social media (Instagram), there is an externalization process (such as realizing dreams, channeling creativity, and the necessity to follow trends) and internalization processes (such as meeting the information needs of the outside world, the need for inspiration for innovation and creativity and a reference source for daily activities, e.g. choosing daily clothes) which is part of Social Construction Theory. Social Media (Instagram) which was originally functioned as a medium for exchanging information and interacting socially has also undergone many shifts, one of which has become a market place. The great potential of social media (Instagram) as a market place is recognized as being able to trigger entrepreneurial interest. All informants in this study are business actors (privately owned) although still on a small scale (monthly turnover <Rp 4,000,000, - per month) which are generally engaged in fashion, cosmetics and food. Running a business through social media is felt by the informants to add value to their lives (such as pride), because their lifestyle is not only focused on being consumers (shopping through Instagram social media) but also producers (earning additional money and the process of applying business knowledge gained from the learning process on campus).

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Glass has several advantages over single crystals and transparent ceramics, including easier formability, increased productivity, and higher versatility in composition. However, the scintillation properties should be further enhanced for practical applications. Herein, we focused on fluoroborate glass, which has a high quantum yield. The xCeF3–(50-x)BaF2–25Al2O3–25B2O3 glass showed luminescence quantum efficiency up to 83% with a broad peak at 380 nm, and its concentration in the quantum yield was remarkably low. The lifetime of the X-ray-induced luminescence was also insignificant to the concentration. The light yields were obtained from the pulse height spectrum: for gamma rays from 241Am, up to 411 photons MeV−1; and for neutrons with 252Cf as the source, up to 1717 photons n−1 were observed. The performance of glass for thermal neutron detection using inexpensive natural abundant B2O3 was notably good. Thus, the possibility of developing an inexpensive glass scintillator has been presented here.
Introduction

Published: September 2022

The idea for this Special Issue arose from a transdisciplinary conference entitled ‘(dis)Covering Discourses’ which was held at University College Cork in 2018. The aim was to bring together scholars spanning a multiplicity of disciplines who, in their research, apply discursive methods and ‒ as the spelling indicates ‒ by doing so, aim to (dis)cover, in both senses of the word, discourses. In the first instance, (dis)covering was considered a process of finding or coming across something unexpectedly. Approaching it from the second perspective, and even more saliently, the implication turned towards the process of discovering as bringing something to light, so to speak, as a task of uncovering. A broad range of researchers from various fields such as Linguistics, Literature, Cultural Studies, Social Studies, Sociology, Government and Politics, Economy, Clinical Therapies and Media Studies answered our call. They succeeded in shedding light on themes such as Politics, Class, Gender, Health, Identity, Institutions, Knowledge, Economy, Migration, Multilingualism, Social Media, Space and Violence. What all the researchers and the papers shared was their methodological approach and their common interest in Discourse Analysis: each employing methods of Discourse Analysis / Critical Discourse Analysis from their own disciplinary perspectives.
