Abstract
Current theory for surface tension-dominant jumps on water, created for small and medium size water strider species and used in bio-inspired engineering, predicts that jumping individuals are able to match their downward leg movement speed to their size and morphology such that they maximize the takeoff speed and minimize the takeoff delay without breaking the water surface. Here, we use empirical observations and theoretical modeling to show that large species (heavier than ~80 mg) do not conform to this prediction but switch to using surface-breaking rather than surface tension-dominant jumps in order to achieve jumping performance that appears sufficient for evading attacks from underwater predators. This suggests that natural selection for avoiding predators may break the theoretical scaling relationship between prey size and its jumping performance within one physical mechanism leading to an evolutionary shift to another mechanism of jumping on water.

Abstract
Heterotrophic prokaryotes (HP) contribute largely to dissolved organic matter (DOM) processing in the ocean, but they also release diverse organic substances. The bioavailability of DOM released by HP under varying environmental conditions are not fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effect of P-limitation on the bioavailability of DOM released by a single bacterial strain and 2 natural HP communities. These HP were grown under P-replete and P-limited conditions, and their DOM (HP-DOM) was used as a substrate for natural prokaryotic communities from a coastal site in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. We followed changes in prokaryotic growth, enzymatic activity, diversity and community composition together with the consumption of HP-DOM fluorescence (FDOM). HP-DOM produced under P-replete and P-limited conditions promoted both significant and similar prokaryotic growth. The humic-like fluorescence, commonly considered recalcitrant, was consumed during the incubations when this peak was initially dominating the FDOM pool, and this consumption coincided with higher alkaline phosphatase activity. HP-DOM supported growth of diverse prokaryotic communities and P-driven differences in HP-DOM quality selected for different indicator taxa in the degrading communities. Taken together, our findings emphasize that HP-DOM lability is dependent on both the DOM quality, shaped by P availability, and the composition of the consumers community.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Few research and a dearth of studies show the effectiveness of case management for people with disabilities throughout the Return To Work (RTW) program in underdeveloped countries, which is meant to help disabled workers to regain their dignity through medical, vocational, and psychological rehabilitation.
Methods
Design of qualitative research primarily based on secondary data retrieved from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan and enhanced through in-depth interviews with case managers involved in the RTW program. Data analysis from in-depth interviews was analyzed using QDA Miner Lite, and descriptive study was visualized using Python with ArcGIS integration.
Results
The most from this analysis is that the RTW program of BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has already implemented ILO's primary recommendation, which generates two key themes: vital internal factors that are integral to the RTW framework and external key factor that is stakeholder groups affect RTW practice. The key themes produce six main pieces to discuss further: personal skill, personal literacy, providers, guidelines, authorities, and stakeholder support.
Conclusion
Return to Work Program benefits companies, and the implementation of a career development service or a partnership with non-governmental organizations guarantees that disabled employees who cannot return to work with their former employers are still in the global economy.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Background
Physical exercise is a recommended lifestyle intervention for different mental disorders and has shown specific positive therapeutic effects in unipolar depressive disorder. Considering the similar symptomatology of the depressive phase in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and unipolar depressive disorder, it is reasonable to suggest that physical exercise may also be beneficial for bipolar depression. However, there is an absence of studies evaluating the antidepressant effect of a structured physical exercise intervention in BD.
Methods
This is an open-label, single-arm study trial. Fifteen patients with a diagnosis of BD Type I or Type II, presenting a depressive episode were included in the study. After physical and functional evaluation, patients participated in supervised training sessions with aerobics followed by strength exercises, three times per week, for 12 weeks (36 training sessions). Depressive and manic symptoms were assessed at baseline and 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Additionally, quality of Life and functioning were assessed at baseline and 4, 8, and 12 weeks).
Results
The mean (± SD) Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score at baseline was 23.6 ± 8.3 points and after 12 weeks of physical exercise the mean score was 10.2 ± 4.8 points. Nine patients (82%) presented an antidepressant response defined as a reduction of more than 50% of depressive symptoms at week 12 with five of those patients (45%) presenting criteria for full remission. A large and significant Cohen’s D Effect Size (pre-post) was verified for MADRS reduction [1.98 (95% Confidence interval =0.88 to 3.08)]. We did not detect a significant change in manic symptoms, functioning, and quality of life during the 12-week follow-up.
Conclusions
This study, using rigorous criteria and a structured intervention, provides valid pilot data, showing the feasibility of a structured physical exercise intervention for the treatment of depressive symptoms in BD, and suggesting a potential adjunctive antidepressant effect. This should be further verified by randomized controlled studies.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Introduction: Radial forearm flap (RFF) is widely used in oral reconstruction. However, the donor-site defect remains the main limit. In this paper, V-shape kiss RFF (VRFF) is described as a novel technique to improve aesthetics and function of it. A retrospective study was conducted to introduce VRFF and evaluate its effect and safety.
Methods: A total of 21 patients who underwent VRFF for oral reconstruction, and 23 patients who underwent conventional RFF from February 2016 to April 2018 were included for this study. Direct comparisons were made on patient’s subjective evaluation of post-operative hand function and degree of scarring) and objective donor-site function assessment including range of wrist movements and grip strength before and after surgery between the 2 groups.
Results: No skin grafts were used in the VRFF group, and 20 of 21 patients achieved primary healing at donor site. While, all patients from the RFF group had skin grafts. And 18 of 23 patients achieved primary healing. The postoperative scar score of donor site in the VRFF group was significantly higher than that in the RFF group(3.4vs2.8, P=0.035). There was no significant differences in other subjective evaluation and donor-site morbidity and hand function assessment.
Conclusion: VRFF is able to provide a new and simple method to close donor-site defect and realize a better healing in donor site.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of selenium (Se) - enriched Bacillus subtilis (Se-BS) on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immune status and gut health in broilers. A total of 240 day-old Arbor Acres broilers were randomly allotted to four treatments of a basal diet supplemented with no Se, sodium selenite (SS), B. subtilis (BS), and Se-BS and raised for 42 days. The results showed that Se-BS supplementation significantly increased body weight (BW), average daily gain, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), interleukin (IL) -2, IL-4 and immunoglobulin (Ig) G contents in plasma, the index and wall thickness of duodenum, the villus height and crypt depth of jejunum, GPx-1 and thioredoxin reductase 1 (TR-1) mRNA levels in liver and intestine (P < 0.05), and decreased feed conversion ratio (FCR) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in plasma (P < 0.05). Compared with the SS and BS groups, Se-BS supplementation significantly increased BW, the activities of GPx, CAT and POD, and the contents of IL-2, IL-4 and IgG in plasma, the index and wall thickness of duodenum, crypt depth and sIgA content of jejunum, and GPx-1 mRNA level in liver and intestine (P < 0.05), and decreased FCR and MDA content in plasma (P < 0.05). This study provides scientifc basis for further understanding Se-BS as a more effective measure to improve growth performance and healthy of broilers.

Abstract
In this paper, four metal ions Mg2+, Al3+, Fe3+ and Zn2+ were loaded on the surface of activated carbon by impregnation method to prepare modified activated carbon. High-temperature calcination was used to activate the activated carbon loaded with the metal ions. Scanning electron microscopy, specific surface area and pore size analyzer, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier infrared spectroscopy were used to evaluate the structure and morphology of the modified activated carbon. The findings show that the modified activated carbon charactered in a large of microporous structures and specific surface area, both of which significantly improve the activated carbon absorbability. The study also involves the adsorption and desorption kinetics of the prepared activated carbon for three flavonoids. It was found that the prepared activated carbon had high adsorption efficiency for all three flavonoids, but the desorption efficiency of three flavonoids varied a lot. Naringenin is easier to be desorbed at alkaline condition, the elution percentage is 50% higher than that of the other two flavonoids. This difference provides a basis for the application of this type of activated carbon in the selective enrichment and separation of flavonoids.

Abstract
Introduction
Colorectal cancer is increasingly prevalent in the elderly. We aimed to investigate the short-term postoperative outcomes in robotic colorectal cancer surgery in an elderly (≥ 75 years) versus a non-elderly (< 75 years) patient group.
Materials and Methods
228 patients (61 patients > 75yrs vs. 167 < 75yrs) with confirmed colorectal cancer, operated between 10/17 and 05/22 with the Da Vinci X system, were identified. Short-term postoperative outcomes were compared using the Chi-squared/Fisher’s exact or Wilcoxon test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
No statistical differences were observed in any of the outcomes looked at between our two patient groups, nor overall, nor analyzing left- or right-sided resections separately. Looking at left resections, operative time was shorter in the elderly group (314.66 min vs. 327.76 min, p = 0.347) whereas length of stay was over a day longer (7.72 vs. 6.08, p = 0.054), however, the differences observed did not reach statistical significance. Anastomotic leak, re-admission and re-operation rates in left resections were all higher in the non-elderly group (11% vs. 0%, p = 0.075; 8.1% vs. 3.4%, p = 0.694; 3.7% vs. 0%, p = 0.588), however, all not statistically significant. Looking at right resections, operative time was non significantly shorter in the elderly group (239.13 min vs. 259.81, p = 0.363), whereas length of stay was nearly identical (5.63 days vs. 5.52 days, p = 0.867).
Conclusion
Our Study results suggest that robotic colorectal cancer surgery is safe and feasible in elderly patients. Elderly patients demonstrated comparable outcomes to the non-elderly group in terms of operative times and short-term postoperative outcomes.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with chronic health problems in adolescents and young adults. The aim of this study was to investigate in adolescents and young adults how lower quality of life, elevated perceived stress and ACEs could influence depression and anxiety symptoms, practice of physical activity, loss of control while eating, tobacco use, and obesity/overweight. Participants were assessed by questionnaire and scales, including the 17-item Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale (HDRS17), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire, the World Health Organization quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) total score, the global physical activity questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale, the loss of control overeating scale and anthropometric measures. The participants who experienced ≥ 4 types of ACEs (n = 10) had more major depressive disorder (p < 0.01), higher scores on the Perceived Stress Scale (p = 0.03), lower quality of life (p < 0.01) and domains of physical and psychological health (p < 0.03) than those with < 4 types of ACEs (n = 52). Higher scores on the Perceived Stress Scale and lower scores on the WHOQOL-BREF were associated to higher prevalence of more severe depressive symptoms [Prevalence Ratio (PR) = 4.02, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.46–16.88, p = 0.03], more severe anxiety symptoms (PR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.30–3.41, p < 0.01) and ≥4 ACEs (PR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.19–2.88, p < 0.01). Implications of these findings for clinical practice were pay more attention to health care of adolescent and young adults who survived of higher childhood maltreatments and had more severe depressive and anxiety symptoms to therapeutic target.
The association between social isolation and loneliness with COVID-19 vaccine uptake
Authors: Ukai Tomohiko , Tabuchi Takahiro 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine uptake has plateaued at an unsatisfactory level, we must detect groups who are potential vaccine recipients. We examined social isolation and loneliness, increasingly recognised but neglected social determinants of health, as associated with being unvaccinated. Using a representative sample of the Japanese general population from Internet surveys (JACSIS 2021 and JASTIS 2022), social isolation was assessed using the Lubbern Social Network Scale and loneliness was assessed using the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3. We used a multivariable logistic regression model to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of being unvaccinated in 2022 in socially isolated or lonely people after adjusting for demographics. In addition, we asked unvaccinated participants why they were not vaccinated. Our results show that people who were socially isolated were significantly less likely to receive information from people who had been vaccinated (11% vs. 15%), and less likely to have a negative impression of vaccination (27% vs. 19%) compared with people who were not socially isolated. Socially isolated people tended not to have had a COVID-19 vaccination even though they had no negative impression regarding the vaccine. Socially isolated people are important targets to reach to increase the number of vaccinated people.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Chromium (Cr) is a trace element that places a role in the insulin sensitivity mechanism and its supplementation can alter energy metabolism and related blood parameters. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Cr propionate doses supplementation in ewes, during late pregnancy and lactation, on biochemical and hormonal parameters. Thirty-one ewes, Santa Inês and Dorper crossbreed, single gestation, 63 ± 10 kg of body weight, age 3 ± 2 years, were randomly assigned into 4 treatments: without supplementation (CR0) and daily supplementation of 0.5 mg (CR0.5), 1.0 mg (CR1.0) and 1.5 mg (CR1.5) of chromium per animal. Daily supplementation occurred from the 100th day of gestation to the 60th day after lambing, totalizing 110 days. Blood samples were collected five times during trial. Data were analyzed using SAS program, PROC MIXED and means compared by Tukey test with P ≤ 5% for significance and 5% < P ≤ 10% for tendency. During gestation, CR0.5 tended to decrease blood non-esterified fatty-acids levels (P < 0.1). During lactation, CR0.5 tended to present lower ß-hydroxybutyrate level compared to CR1.0 (P < 0.1) and had lower insulin:glucose ratio compared to CR0 (P < 0.05). Serum phosphorus levels increased with higher doses of Cr (P < 0.001). Therefore, the dose of 0.5 mg of Cr improved energy metabolism efficiency of ewes during high-demand periods. We concluded that the dose of 0.5 mg of Cr per animal per day altered energy metabolism during late pregnancy and lactation, and that doses above it altered phosphorus concentrations.

Published: November 2022

Abstract

There is a lack of research on the use of the still-face procedure to assess infants’ comfort and reengagement in stressful situations. As previous studies have already investigated the transitional phenomenon based on Winnicott’s theory, this study decided to use “stuffed toy” and “song and musical play” with the still-face procedure. It aimed to examine the transition phenomenon of infants in “song and musical play” and provide a new perspective on psychological support for infants. Infant responses and maternal availabilities were also analyzed. The study participants were 32 infants (M = 17.97 months, SD = 1.43) and their mothers (M = 32.28 years, SD = 2.96). The results showed that infants were receptive to the “stuffed toy” and displayed positive responses. Additionally, the appearance ratios of “song and musical play” imitations increased. This suggests that the infants used “song and musical play” to manage and control their affect in stressful situations. Furthermore, when the mothers exhibited maternal availability as an emotional rhythm, the infants’ responses became positive. Therefore, the infants demonstrated the transitional phenomenon to symbolize inner objects for social participation using “song and musical play” as the transitional object.
The Effect of Coenzyme Q10 as a Part of Standard Therapy on Plasma Concentrations
of Ubiquinol, Ubiquinone, Total CoQ10 and its Redox State in Patients with
Ischemic Heart Disease

Published: November 2022

Background:
Despite CoQ10 being a powerful antioxidant and its redox state that may characterize the
body’s antioxidant system, the latter remains unstudied in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Objective:
This prospective case-control study aimed to investigate the concentrations of ubiquinol, ubiquinone, total CoQ10 and its redox state in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and arterial hypertension (AH) during standard therapy and with the additional prescription of CoQ10.

Objective:
This prospective case-control study aimed to investigate the concentrations of ubiquinol, ubiquinone, total
CoQ10 and its redox state in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and arterial hypertension (AH) during standard
therapy and with the additional prescription of CoQ10.

Methods:
The study included 54 healthy individuals and 26 patients, who were divided into a control group receiving
standard therapy and a test group receiving CoQ10 in addition to standard therapy. Quantitative determination of
COQ10, ubiquinone and ubiquinol was carried out by HPLC-MS/MS.

Results:
It was found that the CoQ10 level in patients was significantly lower than in healthy individuals (on average
-32Δ%). In the test group, after treatment, the concentrations of ubiquinol (+53 Δ%), ubiquinone (-28 Δ%), total
CoQ10 (+27 Δ%) and redox state (+112 Δ%) were significantly different from the baseline, while in the control
group no significant differences were noticed. In the test group after treatment, the levels of total CoQ10 (+25 Δ%),
ubiquinol (+43 Δ%), and redox state (+86 Δ%) were statistically significantly higher than in the control group and
total CoQ10 concentration did not significantly differ from that in healthy individuals (-12 Δ%).

Conclusion:
The additional prescription of CoQ10 for patients with IHD significantly increases the level of total
CoQ10, which leads to the increase of body antioxidant potential.
