3D‐printing polylactic acid/hydroxyapatite fracture internal fixation plates for bone repair
Authors: Xia Yuhao , Xu Wei , Zhang Hongbiao , Wu Xiaopei , Dai Honglian 
Published: October 2022

AbstractFracture internal fixation plates are the most common implants in internal fixation and have been applied to fix fractures for over a hundred years. Plates of metal material remain the gold standard. However, they are not the ideal bone plate considering the stress shielding induced by the high elastic modulus and biomechanical mismatch with bone. PLA fracture internal fixation plates present the advantages of matching with the elastic modulus of the bone and absorbable properties but are limited by poor toughness and acidic degradation. Degradable bone plates composed of polylactic acid/hydroxyapatite (PLA/HA) composite were prepared by fused deposition modeling, which had higher bending strength and compressive strength than that of pure PLA. The hydrophilicity of PLA/HA composite was improved by the addition of HA, it was beneficial to the adhesion of cells on the surface of the composite. The results of in vitro degradability showed that the addition of HA can effectively neutralize the acidity generated by PLA degradation. Meanwhile, the addition of HA can improve the cell affinity to promote the adhesion and growth of MC3T3‐E1 cells on the surface of the composites. Consequently, the PLA/HA composite shows a good potential as a bone plate to fix bone fractures.

Published: October 2022

AbstractIt was reported that high‐dose cyclosporine at 500 mg daily increases edoxaban exposure. We investigated whether cyclosporine <500 mg daily leads to edoxaban‐induced bleeding in the clinical setting. This case series study included patients receiving edoxaban and cyclosporine at Mie University Hospital. The outcomes were bleeding and anticoagulant markers, including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), and the international normalized ratio of prothrombin time (PT‐INR). We examined the genotypes of cytochrome P450 3A5 (CYP3A5), multidrug resistance 1 (ABCB1), and solute carrier organic anion transporter 1B1 (SLCO1B1). Trends in anticoagulant markers were analyzed. Thirteen patients received edoxaban (standard dose; n = 3 and reduced dose; n = 10) and cyclosporine (1.94 ± 1.42 mg/kg). A bleeding event occurred in one patient receiving a standard dose of edoxaban plus cyclosporine of 25 mg daily (HAS‐BLED score of 2 and genotypes; CYP3A5*3/*3, ABCB1 3435CT, and SLCO1B1*1a/*1b). After edoxaban treatment, anticoagulant markers were prolonged (APTT; 27.95 ± 3.64 s vs. 31.11 ± 3.90 s, p < 0.001, PT; 11.53 ± 1.01 s vs. 13.03 ± 0.98 s, p = 0.002, PT‐INR; 0.98 ± 0.09 vs. 1.11 ± 0.11, p = 0.007). In summary, the genotypes of CYP3A5, ABCB1, and SLCO1B1 and the dosage of edoxaban may affect the risk of bleeding by edoxaban when co‐administered with cyclosporine, even at low doses.
“We are better and happier if we are inclusive.” Therapist perspectives on the importance of LGB cultural competence in a mental health setting
Authors: Bishop Joshua , Crisp Dimity , Scholz Brett 
Published: October 2022

AbstractLesbian, gay and bisexual people are more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to report dissatisfaction after accessing a counselling or psychological service. Greater dissatisfaction may result from therapists who focus on psychopathology without considering cultural context. Research has demonstrated therapists' cultural competence (attitudes, knowledge and skills) may influence effective service provision to LGB people. Counsellors and psychologists (N = 10) were interviewed to determine the sources of information influencing the cultural competence and LGB cultural competence practices used by therapists in their clinical practice. Three themes were developed from semistructured interviews: (1) the importance of multiple sources of cultural competence; (2) applying cultural competence improves the therapeutic process; and (3) ensuring visual cues of affirmation are affirming, not pathologising. Theme 1 highlighted that initial professional training, cultural competence training and lived experience could be triangulated to assist therapists in improving their cultural competence. Theme 2 highlighted that cultural competence improves the therapeutic process by ensuring therapists can demonstrate affirming attitudes, knowledge about LGB people and culturally affirming skills to work effectively with LGB clients. The final theme explored the need for therapists to create an inclusive space for LGB clients. Recommendations for improving clinical practices and tools to enhance cultural competence are discussed.

Published: October 2022

AbstractArctium lappa L., also known as burdock, is an edible wild plant which has the ability to grow in distinct environments and is considered a weed in several parts of the world. This species has great value in the biological and medical fields with its major secondary components being phenolic compounds and terpenes, substances rich in desired biological activities as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antitumor and anti‐inflammatory. In addition, burdock leaves extracts have shown a modulatory effect on the complement system, which plays an important role in the development of inflammatory diseases, with an inhibitory effect on all complement pathways. Thus, natural products with those relevant activities are promising agents for healthcare applications. Therefore, the species A. lappa may represent an interesting asset for researching and developing new therapies for inflammatory afflictions.

Authors: Brown Wes , Albright Savannah , Tsang Michael , Deiters Alexander 
Published: October 2022

AbstractA wide array of optogenetic tools are available that allow for precise spatiotemporal control over cellular processes. These tools are particularly important to zebrafish researchers who take advantage of the embryo's transparency. However, photocleavable optogenetic proteins have not been utilized in zebrafish. We demonstrate successful optical control of protein cleavage in embryos using PhoCl, a photocleavable fluorescent protein. This optogenetic tool offers temporal and spatial control over protein cleavage events, which we demonstrate in light‐triggered protein translocation and light‐triggered apoptosis.
Improved Corrosion‐Resistance and Regulated Electro‐state of Elastic Polyaniline Coated Nickel Phosphide for Efficient Water Oxidation
Authors: Zhu Zhiwei , Zhang Yadong , Wang Hong , Xia Bao Yu , You Bo 
Published: October 2022

AbstractElectrocatalysis is at the heart of energy conversion in sustainable energy systems, during which the involved electrocatalysts usually undergo dynamic reconstruction. Such reconstruction normally leads to structure corrosion and collapse which lower the electrochemically active surface area, blocks the diaphragm and increases the internal resistance of the electrolyzer, collectively resulting in inferior energy conversion efficiency. Herein, we report an efficient polyaniline (PANi) confining strategy to address the above issues using Ni5P4 for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) as an example. Experiments and DFT computations reveal that the elastic PANi can adaptively buffer the structure corrosion of Ni5P4 during oxidative reconstruction and positively charge the reconstruction‐formed nickel (oxy)(hydr)oxides for optimal binding of OER intermediates, jointly leading to significantly improved performance featuring a long‐term stability at 100 mA cm−2 with a low overpotential of only 280 mV. This facile strategy can be effectively extendable to other compound catalysts in electrocatalytic reactions.

Published: October 2022

AbstractReported herein is a reactivity of propargyl alcohols as “Three‐Carbon Synthons” in a Rh(III)‐catalyzed C−H functionalization of acetanilides, leading to the synthesis of core structures of isocryptolepine, γ‐carbolines, dihydrochromeno[2,3‐b]indoles, and diindolylmethanes (DIM) derivatives. The transformation involves a rhodium(III)‐catalyzed C−H functionalization and heteroannulation to yield indoles followed by a cascade cyclization with both external and internal nucleophiles to afford diverse products. The role of the hydroxy group, the key function of the silver additive, the origin of the reverse regioselectivity and the rate‐determining step, are rationalized in conformity with the combination of experimental, noncovalent interaction analysis and DFT studies. This protocol is endowed with several salient features, including one‐pot multistep cascade approach, exclusive regioselectivity, good functional group tolerance and synthesis of variety of molecular frameworks.
Theoretical Exploitation of 1,2,3,4,5,6‐Hexachloro‐ and 1,2,3,4,5,6‐Hexafluorocyclohexane Isomers as Biologically Active Compounds
Authors: Martins Francisco A. , Freitas Matheus P. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractHexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) have been widely explored as biological compounds during the last century. However, most of them were banned due to their potential toxicity in humans, animals, and the environment. Revisiting HCHs to explore their biological activity while improving key features is valuable and may lead to a new class of pesticides that utilizes the biological response of HCHs without their toxic characteristics. In this sense, the fluorine atom can be a possible alternative since a large number of therapeutics and agrochemicals have been developed with this halogen in their structure. We have evaluated herein the conformational behavior of HCHs and their bioisosteric fluorinated compounds, namely, hexafluorocyclohexanes (HFHs), through quantum‐chemical calculations. We also explored the potential of the HCH and HFH isomers as biological compounds by docking them inside three possible targets. It was demonstrated that HCH and HFH have similar ligand‐protein interactions with three pockets: the picrotoxin and barbiturate sites of the GABAA receptor and the ryanodine receptor. The results support HFHs as possible alternatives for HCHs since the replacement of Cl with F does not forfeit the main ligand‐protein interactions. Finally, we demonstrated that HFHs have a lower log P than HCHs by almost two logarithmic units. This result highlights the role of fluorine in distribution and bioaccumulation.

AbstractHerein, we have developed a sodium ion based aqueous energy storage device with nickel prussian‐blue‐analogue (Ni‐PBA) positive and functionalized carbon‐black negative electrodes in 1 M Na2SO4 electrolyte solution. The components required to develop the device, i. e., stainless steel (SS) current‐collectors, absorbent‐glass‐mat separator, electrolyte, carbon‐black, and precursors of Ni‐PBA, are all environmentally benign and inexpensive. To minimize the corrosion of pristine‐SS, polyaniline coating on the SS surface is applied by in situ electrodeposition method. The full cell exhibits a specific capacity of 28 mAh g−1 with 90 % Coulomb efficiency (@0.2C), an energy density of 34 Wh kg−1 (@20 W kg−1), a power density of 100 W kg−1 (@18 Wh kg−1) and a good life cycle (70 % capacity‐retention over 500 cycles @1.0C rate) within the 0–1.2 V window. The cell performance is further tested under variable temperatures, and 0–50 °C range is reported to be the working window for this cell.
Unifying the Nitrogen Reduction Activity of Anatase and Rutile TiO2 Surfaces
Authors: Ji Yongfei , Liu Paiyong , Fan Ting 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTiO2 is a model transition metal oxide that has been applied frequently in both photocatalytic and electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reactions (NRR). However, the phase which is more NRR active still remains a puzzle. This work presents a theoretical study on the NRR activity of the (001), (100), (101), and (110) surfaces of both anatase and rutile TiO2. We found that perfect surfaces are not active for NRR, while the oxygen vacancy can promote the reaction by providing excess electrons and low‐coordinated Ti atoms that enhance the binding of the key intermediate (HNN*). The NRR activity of the eight facets can be unified into a single scaling line. The anatase TiO2(101) and rutile TiO2(101) surfaces were found to be the most and the second most active surfaces with a limiting potential of −0.91 V and −0.95 V respectively, suggesting that the TiO2 NRR activity is not very phase‐sensitive. For photocatalytic NRR, the results suggest that the anatase TiO2(101) surface is still the most active facet. We further found that the binding strength of key intermediates scale well with the formation energy of oxygen vacancy, which is determined by the oxygen coordination number and the degree of relaxation of the surface after the creation of oxygen vacancy. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the activity of TiO2 surfaces. The results should be helpful for the design of more efficient TiO2‐based NRR catalysts.
Corporate biodiversity management and organisational change mechanisms: The case of a tea producer in Sri Lanka
Authors: Atupola Upekha , Vola Paola , Gunarathne Nuwan , Truant Elisa , Gelmini Lorenzo 
Published: October 2022

AbstractCorporate biodiversity management (CBDM) is a primary environmental concern in the food and beverage industry, especially the tea sector. However, the way tea‐producing companies pursue sustainable biodiversity management practices, and how these practices lead to organisational change at the lower tiers of the food supply chain remain under‐researched. Using alternative models of organisational change and data from interviews, field visits, and documents, this study analyses the practices adopted by a tea producer in a highly environmentally sensitive area in Sri Lanka, and how these practices have led to organisational change. The findings show that environmental disturbances in the tea industry's value chain primarily influence the organisation's design archetypes, in turn leading to CBDM through organisational subsystems and interpretive schemes. The study shows that adopting CBDM practices gradually and consistently leads to sustainable outcomes over time.

Published: October 2022

AbstractFunctional traits are frequently proposed to determine the invasiveness of alien species. However, few empirical studies have directly manipulated functional traits and tested their importance in the invasion success of alien species into native plant communities, particularly under global change. We manipulated clonal integration (a key clonal functional trait) of four alien clonal plants by severing inter‐ramet connections or keeping them intact and simulated their invasion into native plant communities with two levels of species diversity, population density and nutrient availability. High community diversity and density impeded the invasion success of the alien clonal plants. Clonal integration of the alien plants promoted their invasion success, particularly in the low‐density communities associated with low species diversity or nutrient addition, which resulted in a negative correlation between the performance of alien plants and native communities, as expected under global change. Thus, clonal integration can favor the invasion success of alien clonal plants into degraded resident communities with a high degree of disturbance and eutrophication. Our findings confirm the role of clonal functional traits in facilitating alien plant invasions into native plant communities and suggest that clonal functional traits should be considered to efficiently restore degraded communities heavily invaded by alien clonal plants.

AbstractAimsTraditional adverse events in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) include atherothrombotic events but usually exclude heart failure (HF). Data are scarce about how new‐onset HF modifies mortality risk. We aimed to determine the incidence of HF and compare its long‐term mortality risk with myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in patients with known or suspected CCS.MethodsWe prospectively evaluated 5811 consecutive HF‐free patients submitted to vasodilator stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for known or suspected CCS. Ischaemic burden and left ventricular ejection fraction were assessed by CMR. HF included outpatient diagnosis or acute HF hospitalization. The mortality risk for the incident events and their cross‐comparisons were evaluated using a Markov illness–death model with transition‐specific survival models.ResultsThe mean age was 55 ± 11 years, and 38.9% were female. At a median follow‐up of 5.44 (IQR = 2.53–8.55) years, 591 deaths were registered (1.79 per 100 P‐Y). The rates of new‐onset HF were higher compared with MI and stroke [1.02, 0.62, and 0.51, respectively (P < 0.05)]. The adjusted association between new‐onset HF, MI, and stroke, and subsequent mortality was time dependent. The risk increased almost linearly for HF and became significant by the third year. By Year 10, the mortality risk attributable to new‐onset HF was more than 2.5‐fold (HR: 2.68, 95% CI = 1.74–4.12). For MI, there was a significant increase in mortality risk up to the second year, followed by a monotonic decrease. For stroke, the mortality risk increased for the entire follow‐up but became significant by the third year. A cross‐comparison among incident endpoints HF outnumbers risk for those with MI by the sixth year (HRyear6.3: 1.88, 95% CI = 1.03–3.43). There was no difference in mortality risk between incident HF and stroke.ConclusionsIn patients with CCS, long‐term rates of incident HF were higher than MI and stroke. Patients with new‐onset HF showed a higher risk of long‐term mortality.
Chalcohalides: A Rising Type of Second‐Order Nonlinear Optical Materials

Published: October 2022

AbstractIn the past few decades, many new infrared (IR) second‐order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have been prepared by various synthetic methods to satisfy the growing market demand. However, few ones have the high potentials to be applicable since their comprehensive NLO properties cannot meet the standards, which include a series of indicators like large NLO effects, high laser‐induced damage thresholds (LIDTs), phase matchability, high thermal stability, good growth habit, and so on. Considering the available IR NLO materials’ disadvantages and the market requirements, it is necessary to continuously explore new high‐performance ones. Hitherto, lots of chalcogenides, halides, and oxides have been explored as IR NLO materials. Recently, researchers have found that the combination of two or more structural units into one structure may achieve good NLO properties, as evidenced by the fact that diverse materials with multiple anions are receiving growing interest. Specifically, chalcohalides are highly promising as they may combine the advantages of chalcogenides and halides,viz. large NLO coefficients and wide IR transparency of the former, and large band gaps and high LIDTs of the latter. To address the status of chalcohalides, this review focuses on the newest progresses on this topic (mainly from the last five years), including ternary chalcohalides, quaternary chalcohalides, salt‐inclusion chalcohalides, and rare‐earth chalcohalides. Here we summarize and analyze their compositions, crystal structures, NLO properties, and discuss the structure‐property relationship. Finally, the development prospects for NLO chalcohalides are given.

Published: October 2022

AbstractGlycoamino acids and glycoproteins, especially C‐glycoamino acids and C‐glycoproteins, attract tremendous interests in the realm of biology and chemistry due to their wide occurrence in natural products, excellent pharmacodynamic properties and dynamic stability. Compared with the traditional construction of the amino acid or the glycosyl moiety de novo, post‐modification of amino acids and peptides through direct glycosylation reactions constitute a powerful synthetic approach to attaining C‐glycoamino acids and C‐glycopeptides rapidly on account of the high step‐economy, broad functional group tolerance, and conservation of the chirality of the amino acid and glycosyl moieties. In this review, the recent developments in the synthesis of C‐glycoamino acids and C‐glycopeptides via the post‐modification of amino acids and peptides are summarized. Additionally, the important and representative examples, synthetic applications, and crucial mechanism investigations of these glycosylation reactions are also highlighted.
