title: Supplementary Material for: Predialysis NTproBNP Predicts Magnitude of Extracellular Volume Overload in Haemodialysis Patients

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Increased natriuretic peptides are associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality for haemodialysis (HD) patients. However, debate continues whether these biomarkers are increased by extracellular water (ECW) excess and can be used to aid clinical assessment of volume status and help determine target weight. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We measured N terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) predialysis in 375 stable haemodialysis outpatients with corresponding pre and postdialysis multifrequency bioelectrical impedance assessments (MFBIA) of (ECW)/total body water (TBW). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Median age 64 (51-75), 63.9% male, 42.9% diabetic, 43.2% Caucasoid, 14.4% with a history of myocardial infarction, 8.4% coronary artery bypass surgery, dialysis vintage 28.2 (12.3-55.5) months. Median predialysis NT-proBNP 283 (123-989) pmol/l, and predialysis ECW/TBW ratio 0.397 ± 0.029. On multivariate analysis, predialysis log NT-proBNP was associated with predialysis systolic blood pressure (β 0.007, p = 0.000), weight (β −0.008, p = 0.001), valvular heart disease (β 0.342, p = 0.015, ECW/TBW (β 1.3, p = 0.019) and log CRP (β 0.145, p = 0.037). Dividing patients into NTproBNP quartiles, ìW/TBW and relative ECW overhydration were significantly greater for the highest quartile vs. lowest (40.5 ± 4.1 vs. 39.0 ± 1.1, and 1.51 ± 1.24 vs. 0.61 ± 0.69 l, respectively, p &lt; 0.001). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> In this study, predialysis NTproBNP values were associated with direct assessments of the extracellular volume excess measured by MFBIA and systolic arterial blood pressure. This suggests that predialysis NTproBNP values can potentially be used to aid clinical assessment of volume status in dialysis patients to determine target weight.

title: Investigation on Electrical Properties and Microdefects of Nb5+-Doped BaTiO3 Based Ceramics by Positron Annihilation Techniques

description: The influence of the Nb5+-doped content and the doping CaCO3 on the electrical properties and the microdefects of BSTN ceramics by Positron Annihilation Techniques were studied, which were fired at 1350 ºC for 2 hours in air. The PTCR characteristics in the BSTN samples were also investigated. Moreover, the information on microdefects in BSTN ceramics was demonstrated by coincidence Doppler broadening spectrum measurements and positron annihilation lifetime spectra. Meanwhile, the influence of the defects on the electrical properties of the ceramics was also revealed. Furthermore, the critical donor-dopant content was 0.4 mol%, which corresponding room-temperature resistivity and the resistivity jumping ratio was 714.3 Ω·cm and 2.77 × 102, respectively. In addition, the average positrons annihilate lifetime t of the BSTN ceramics was investigated as well.

title: Supplementary Material for: Efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine for children and adolescents with Tourette syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

description: Background: With the increasing prevalence of Tourette syndrome (TS), the search for alternative therapy for TS is a growing public concern. In recent years, a growing number of randomized controlled trials have revealed the value of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine for the treatment of TS; however, its holistic efficacy and safety remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine and to provide preliminary evidence for clinical practice. Methods: Eight databases were searched from their establishment to November 27, 2022 to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine for TS treatment. Two researchers independently completed the study screening, data extraction and risk of bias assessment by using NoteExpress, Excel and Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0 (RoB 2.0). Stata 15.0 software was applied to conduct meta-analysis. Results: A total of 1400 participants in 18 RCTs were included. Compared with the Western medicine (WM) , acupuncture combined with herbal medicine had better curative effect in the field of effective rate (RR = 1.18, 95% CI [1.12, 1.23], P ＜ 0.05, I²= 0%), Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) total score (MD = -3.91, 95% CI [-5.49, -2.33], P ＜ 0.05, I² = 96.4%), TCM syndrome total score (MD = -2.42, 95% CI [-3.71,-1.13], P ＜ 0.05, I² = 87.1%) and serum IgE negative rate (RR = 3.41, 95% CI [1.69, 6.87], P ＜ 0.05, I² = 0%). Furthermore, acupuncture combined with herbal medicine reduced the adverse reaction rate (RR = 0.20, 95% CI [0.14,0.30], P ＜ 0.05, I² = 0%) and the recurrence rate (RR = 0.27, 95% CI [0.13,0.52], P ＜ 0.05, I² = 0%). Conclusion: This study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine, which is probably a better alternative therapy for TS. However, the small number, low quality and potential bias of the included studies caused the limitations of our results. More high-quality RCTs are required to provide supplementary evidence in the future.

title: Supplementary Material for: Mortality and Risk Factors in Very Elderly Patients Who Start Hemodialysis: Korean Renal Data System, 2016–2020

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The number of elderly patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing worldwide. However, decision-making about elderly patients with ESRD remains complex because of the lack of studies, especially in very elderly patients (≥75 years). We examined the characteristics of very elderly patients starting hemodialysis (HD) and the associated mortality and prognostic factors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Data were analyzed retrospectively using a nationwide cohort registry, the Korean Renal Data System. Patients who started HD between January 2016 and December 2020 were included and divided into three groups according to age at HD initiation (&lt;65, 65–74, and ≥75 years). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality during the study period. Risk factors for mortality were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In total, 22,024 incident patients were included with 10,006, 5,668, and 6,350 in each group (&lt;65, 65–74, and ≥75 years, respectively). Among the very elderly group, women had a higher cumulative survival rate than men. The survival rate was lower in patients with vascular access via a catheter than in those with an arteriovenous fistula or graft. Very elderly patients with more comorbid diseases had a significantly lower survival rate than those with fewer comorbidities. In the multivariate Cox models, old age, cancer presence, catheter use, low body mass index, low Kt/V, low albumin concentration, and capable status of partial self-care were associated with high risk of mortality. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Preparation of an arteriovenous fistula or graft when starting HD should be considered in very elderly patients with fewer comorbid diseases.

title: MCVIS: A New Framework for Collinearity Discovery, Diagnostic, and Visualization

description: Collinearity discovery through diagnostic tools is an important analysis step when performing linear regression. Despite their wide-spread use, collinearity indices such as the variance inflation factor and the condition number have limitations and may not be effective in some applications. In this article, we will contribute to the study of conventional collinearity indices through theoretical and empirical work. We will present mcvis, a new framework that uses resampling techniques to repeatedly learn from these conventional collinearity indices to better understand the causes of collinearity. Our framework is made available in R through the mcvis package which includes new collinearity measures and visualizations, in particular a bipartite plot that informs on the degree and structure of collinearity. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Inclusion of dietary fiber in gluten-free breads

description: Summary Four gluten-free bread formulations were developed, with the inclusion of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Physical properties, chemical composition, acceptance and purchase intent of consumers were evaluated. The standard sample (1) had rice flour, cassava starch, egg, powdered milk, sunflower oil, salt, sugar, dry yeast and water as ingredients. In the other samples, the starch was partially replaced by inulin (2), defatted rice bran and inulin (3), and defatted rice bran (4). The color of bread 2 differed only in the crust, which was less red and yellow than standard sample (1). The inclusion of rice bran yielded a darker, red and yellow color to the crust and the crumb of the breads 3 and 4. Only bread 2 had loss of weight and lower yield, compared to the other samples, probably due to the dough structure collapse, which was not sustained at the growth stage. The cost of the breads with inulin was greater, for this is a well known prebiotic ingredient, acquired in pharmaceutical establishments; whereas the cost of bread with bran decreased, since it is an industrial by-product obtained from the extraction of rice oil. Regarding chemical composition, there was an increase in ash, protein and dietary fiber contents, especially insoluble, in breads 3 and 4; whereas bread 2 had lower protein and higher dietary fiber content, especially soluble. Nutritionally, an increase in the nutritional value over digestible carbohydrates and caloric value is accepted. Sensorily, breads 3 and 4 were less preferred regarding color and flavor attributes, but did not differ from breads 1 and 2 in odor and texture attributes, and consumers purchase intent. It was concluded that the consumption of breads with partial replacement of starch ensures food functional quality, nutritional and sensorial, especially in the celiac case.

title: Voltage-current and AC Losses Measurements of BSCCO and ReBCO tapes

description: Experimental tests were carried out to measure the AC losses of BSCCO tapes with 4mm wide. The used experimental setup comprises a sinusoidal voltage source (Keysight AC6804B) connected to a step-down transformer, with the secondary connected to the HTS tapes. Voltage taps are soldered to both sides of the HTS tape sample. A cancellation coil is employed to align the tape’s voltage and current, thereby reducing errors in computing the active power. The voltage signal undergoes an 80-fold amplification stage in the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) before being visualized and acquired by an oscilloscope. For each current step, a 5-period signal is acquired 20 times, from which an average 5-period signal is derived. Each measurement step is repeated five times to mitigate noise. From these tests, AC voltage-current (V-I) characteristics and total AC losses are experimentally determined. In addition to the cancelation coil method, the voltage was also measured using a Lock-in amplifier, using the current as a phase reference.In these database it is provided the voltage-time and current-time curves and AC losses measurements. In addition, an Excel file with AC losses analytical models is provided to help characterise the HTS tapes' parameters under AC regime.Information from the Manufacturer of the HTS 1<sup>st</sup> gen.

title: Supplementary Material for: Proteome Patterns in Uremic Plasma

description: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), peptides and proteins circulate at altered concentrations versus in healthy individuals. We have characterized proteome samples from 7 pooled CKD stage 5 patients not yet on dialysis and with no known co-morbidities. We also analyzed pooled plasma samples from 7 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. After immunodepletion of the 6 most abundant plasma proteins, HPLC and SDS-PAGE patterns differed between the healthy and disease groups. The differing proteins were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting using MALDI mass spectrometry and verified with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry sequence analysis. Multiple differences in at least 19 HPLC fractions were observed, from which we identified 29 proteins, 25 in greater yield and 4 in lower yield than in the healthy controls, adding at least 6 protein components to those that were previously known to be altered in CKD.

title: Replication Package for "Why and How Developers Maintain Smart Contracts"

description: This repository contains the replication package for "Why and How Developers Maintain Smart Contracts".Smart contracts, i.e., self-executing contracts written in code, have gained popularity in recent years due to the introduction of blockchain technology. These contracts are executed automatically when certain conditions are met, and, once deployed, they can not be modified. This presents issues when errors are found or updates are needed. Previous research has mainly focused on introducing approaches and tools for detecting bugs or vulnerabilities in smart contracts. However, it is unclear if these are the only maintenance-related operations developers perform. In this paper, we aim to understand why and how developers maintain smart contracts. We run a qualitative analysis on 590 commits from 14 open-source smart contract repositories written in Solidity, the most popular programming language for smart contracts. We analyze the commit messages, related issues, and the changes made to understand what triggered changes. Then, we examine how developers changed the source code. As a result, we define two taxonomies: One reporting the reasons for the maintenance and one regarding the patterns of modifications. Our findings suggest that smart contract maintenance is often focused on improving the internal quality of the scripts (40% of the cases), and that many changes still aim to fix bugs, despite the several approaches available for detecting them beforehand. We provide several lessons learned that will allow researchers to focus on what developers do.

title: GloGCI-World Ghost Cities Index Ranking

description: Due to rapid urbanization over the past 20 years, many newly developed areas have lagged in socio-economic maturity, creating an imbalance with older cities and leading to the rise of "ghost cities". However, the complexity of socio-economic factors has hindered global studies from measuring this phenomenon. To address this gap, a unified framework based on urban vitality theory and multi-source data is proposed to measure the Ghost City Index (GCI), which has been validated using various data sources. The study encompasses 8,841 natural cities worldwide with areas exceeding 5 km², categorizing each into new urban areas (developed after 2005) and old urban areas (developed before 2005). Urban vitality was gauged using the density of road networks, points of interest (POIs), and population density with 1 km resolution across morphological, functional, and social dimensions. By comparing urban vitality in new and old urban areas, we quantify the GCI globally using the theory of urban vitality for the first time. The results reveal that the vitality of new urban areas is 7.69% that of old ones. The top 5% (442) of cities were designated as ghost cities, a finding mirrored by news media and other research. This study sheds light on strategies for sustainable global urbanization, crucial for the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.The code file gives the calculation process of data respectively, and the excel file gives the obtained data.Ref: Zhang, Y., Tu, T., & Long, Y.

title: Optimization of HPLC method using central composite design for estimation of Torsemide and Eplerenone in tablet dosage form

description: Abstract A simple, precise, accurate and robust high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for simultaneous estimation of Torsemide and Eplerenone in tablet dosage form. Design of experiment was applied for multivariate optimization of the experimental conditions of RP-HPLC method. A Central composite design was used to study the response surface methodology and to analyse in detail the effects of these independent factors on responses. Total eleven experiments along with 3 center points were performed. Two factors were selected to design the matrix, one factor is variation in ratio of Acetonitrile and the second factor is flow rate (mL/min). Optimization in chromatographic conditions was achieved by applying Central composite design. The optimized and predicted data from contour diagram comprised mobile phase (acetonitrile, water and methanol in the ratio of 50: 30: 20 v/v/v respectively), at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and at ambient column temperature. Using these optimum conditions baseline separation of both drugs with good resolution and run time of less than 5 minutes were achieved. The optimized assay conditions were validated as per the ICH guidelines (2005). Hence, the results showed that the Quality by design approach could successfully optimize RP-HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of Torsemide and Eplerenone.

title: Supplementary Material for: Effectiveness of an Internet-Based Self-Help Intervention versus Public Mental Health Advice to Reduce Worry during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Pragmatic, Parallel-Group, Randomized Controlled Trial

description: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The mental health burden for the general population due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been highlighted. Evidence on effective, easily accessible public health interventions to reduce worry, a major transdiagnostic risk-factor for, e.g., anxiety and depression, is scarce. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> In a pragmatic randomized controlled trial, we aimed to assess whether an internet cognitive-behavioral self-help intervention could reduce worry more than public mental health advice in the general population. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Eligible internet users above the age of 18 were recruited from the German general population and randomly assigned, to either get.calm-move.on (GCMO), a 10-day unguided, internet-based self-help intervention, or mental health advice waiting group (MHA-W, receiving officially endorsed mental health recommendations). The primary outcome was level of worry, using the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), 2 weeks after randomization. Baseline assessment and 2-month and 6-month follow-ups were conducted. The trial was registered at the German Clinical Trials Registry (DRKS00021153). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Between April 7, 2020 and December 11, 2020, we randomly assigned 351 individuals to receive either GCMO (<i>n</i> = 175) or MHA-W (<i>n</i> = 176). Participants receiving GCMO (PSWQ = 46.6; change –10.3) reported significantly less worrying at post-intervention (<i>F</i><sub>1,219</sub> = 12.9; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001; <i>d</i> = 0.38) than MHA-W controls (PSWQ = 51.6; change –5.1). Improvements were also seen on most secondary outcomes, including symptoms of anxiety and depression, general well-being, resiliency, and emotion regulation skills. Improvements made from baseline were stable until the 6-month follow-up. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This internet-based self-help intervention providing cognitive-behavioral techniques to cope with the threatening pandemic situation is effective in reducing worry in the general population and should complement existing and potentially effective mental health recommendations.
