Abstract
BACKGROUND Caregivers of children who have had liver transplantation often experience chronic care stress. Previous studies have focused on caregivers' negative feelings (e.g., caregiver burden), but few studies have focused on caregivers' positive feelings (e.g., sense of coherence) and caregiver ability. OBJECTIVES The study purpose was to investigate the status of the burden of caregivers of children with liver transplantation, and to explore the mediating role of sense of coherence between caregiver ability and caregiver burden. METHODS There were 461 questionnaires collected from a tertiary-level hospital from caregivers of children who had liver transplantation from April to June 2022. Demographic data, Family Caregiver Task Inventory, Sense of Coherence Scale-13, and Zarit Burden Interview were used. The STROBE checklist was monitored. RESULTS The average caregiver burden score was 32.19 ± 16.71. The distribution of caregiver burden levels was mild (42.52%), none (26.25%), moderate (24.95%), and severe (6.29%). Caregiver ability score was negatively correlated with caregiver burden score; however, sense of coherence score was negatively correlated with caregiver burden score. Caregiver ability partially mediated caregiver burden through sense of coherence (38.51%). CONCLUSION The caregiver burden level was not heavy in general. Both positive and negative feelings were present in caregivers. Caregiver ability also reduced the caregiver burden through sense of coherence.

Abstract
Synthetic auxotrophy in which cell viability depends on the presence of an unnatural amino acid (unAA) provides a powerful strategy to restrict unwanted propagation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in open environments and potentially prevent industrial espionage. Here, we describe a generic approach for robust biocontainment of budding yeast dependent on unAA. By understanding escape mechanisms, we specifically optimize our strategies by introducing designed "immunity" to the generation of amber-suppressor tRNAs and developing the transcriptional- and translational-based biocontainment switch. We further develop a fitness-oriented screening method to easily obtain multiplex safeguard strains that exhibit robust growth and undetectable escape frequency (<~10-9) on solid media for 14 days. Finally, we show that employing our multiplex safeguard system could restrict the proliferation of strains of interest in a real fermentation scenario, highlighting the great potential of our yeast biocontainment strategy to protect the industrial proprietary strains.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the mechanism of social support and fear of progression (FoP) in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) and the self-perceived burden that acts as a mediator between social support and FoP. Patients and Methods Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), and the Fear of Progression-Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF) were used. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the mediating role of self-perceived burden. Results Our results showed that social support was negatively related to the self-perceived burden (r = -0.28, p < 0.001) and FoP (r = -0.37, p < 0.001). Moreover, we determined that self-perceived burden was positively related to FoP (r = 0.58, p < 0.001) and that the indirect effect of social support on FoP via self-perceived burden was significant (β = -0.172, 95% CI: -0.253, -0.097), and with a mediating effect value of 36.9%. Conclusion The FoP in RTRs is a concern. Higher social support and lower self-perceived burden can reduce the risk of FoP. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) should assist RTRs in correctly evaluating an individual's social support system, helping them optimize social support to reduce the self-perceived burden and the development of FoP.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to assess employment rates and states and the factors influencing liver transplant recipients in China. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 212 liver transplant recipients were included in this study. Questionnaires for general situation information and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale were used. RESULTS Among the liver transplantation, 212 recipients were included in the study, 125 (59%) were employed after liver transplantation compared with 148 (69.8%) who were employed before liver transplantation. Among the 125 recipients that returned to work, only 38.2% thought their employment states were good before liver transplantation, while 81.6% thought that their employment states were good after liver transplantation. Gender, age and employment status before transplantation, aetiology of liver disease, number of physical activities, per capita monthly income, comorbidity and depression were significantly associated with return to work. Self-efficacy, social support, liver function and nature of work were significantly associated with employment state.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified air pollution as one of the greatest environmental risks to public health. High levels of ambient air pollution are known to have adverse health effects, but the relationship between exposure to air pollutants and migraine attack has not been established. OBJECTIVES This study aims to systematically review the effects of short-term exposure to fine and coarse particulate matter (PM), ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide on migraine attack. METHODS The systematic review and meta-analysis will follow the WHO handbook for guideline development. Our protocol will comply with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and meta-Analysis Protocols. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Original peer-reviewed studies conducted in the general population regardless of age and sex to investigate the association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and migraine will be eligible for inclusion. Only time-series, case-crossover, and panel studies will be included. INFORMATION SOURCES We will search the electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Global Health, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature in accordance with the pre-established search strategy. We will also check the reference list of included papers and previous reviews for supplementary search. DATA SYNTHESIS METHOD We will perform data extraction in accordance with the predesigned table. Using random-effects meta-analysis, we will present summary statistics (RRs and corresponding 95% CIs) associated with standardized increases in each pollutant level. Heterogeneity between studies will be assessed using 80% prediction intervals (PI). Subgroup analyzes will be performed to explore sources of heterogeneity, if any. The main findings will be presented in summary of finding table, visual display and narrative synthesis. We will review the impact of each air pollutant exposure separately. EVIDENCE APPRAISAL We will employ the adaption of Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations tool to assess the confidence in the body of evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between workplace violence (WPV) and professional identity among Chinese psychiatric nurses and the mediating effects of psychological capital (PsyCap) from this association. SETTING Seven public tertiary psychiatric hospitals in Liaoning Province, China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 952 psychiatric nurses were recruited for this study. Registered nurses who have been engaged in psychiatric nursing for more than 1 year were eligible as participants in this investigation. OUTCOME MEASURES Questionnaires consisting of the Workplace Violence Scale, the Occupational Identity Scale, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and a demographic data sheet were used to collect participant information. We used hierarchical multiple regression and asymptotic and resampling strategies to examine the mediating role of PsyCap in the relationship between WPV and professional identity. RESULTS WPV was negatively associated with professional identity after controlling for demographic factors (β=-0.353; p<0.001). PsyCap mediated the relationship between WPV and professional identity, according to the mediation analysis (a×b=-0.150, bias-corrected and accelerated 95% CI (BCa 95% CI) (-0.185 to -0.115); p<0.001). In addition, two dimensions of PsyCap: hope (a×b=-0.075, BCa 95% CI (-0.104 to -0.049); p<0.001) and resilience (a×b=-0.064, BCa 95% CI (-0.090 to -0.039); p<0.001) mediated the association between WPV and professional identity. For professional identity, hope, resilience and PsyCap mediation accounted for 21.6%, 18.1% and 42.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Based on these findings, PsyCap could partially mediate the relationship between WPV and professional identity. Therefore, hospital administrators should implement measures to prevent and reduce WPV and provide nurses with skills training programmes to improve the PsyCap such as hope and resilience.

Abstract
Background No research has yet been done on social support's influence on the association between illness perception and psychosocial adaptation among young and middle-aged kidney transplant recipients in China. Accordingly, it remains unclear how medical personnel can assist patients in successfully adjusting to the early postoperative period and improving their health. Objective This study sought to explore the influence of illness perception and social support on the psychosocial adaptation of young and middle-aged recipients of kidney transplants in China during the early postoperative period. Methods This study adopted a cross-sectional design. The study included 236 young and middle-aged kidney transplant recipients from a tertiary hospital in China. Demographic and disease-related data were collected. Additionally, the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self-Report, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used to assess participants' psychosocial adaptation, illness perception, and social support, respectively. The model was examined using descriptive analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis, and the PROCESS Macro in SPSS 26.0. Results A total of 176 (74.56%) participants reported an average psychosocial adaptation score >50, which is relatively negative. Marital status, education level, residence, per capita monthly income (in Chinese yuan), medical insurance, work status, post-transplant time, body mass index, creatinine status, and complications were all related to psychosocial adaptation (p < 0.05). The more negative their illness perception and the worse their social support, the worse the psychosocial adaptation of young and middle-aged kidney transplant recipients. Further, the effect of illness perception on psychosocial adaptation was partially mediated by social support (36.56%). Conclusion In general, the psychosocial adaption level of young and middle-aged kidney transplant recipients was negative during the early postoperative period. Healthcare teams should assist patients in building a positive illness perception shortly following kidney transplantation, while also providing psychological care and support to help them cope with the onset of psychosocial issues.

Abstract
Oxidative stress due to excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the skin microenvironment is one of the main mechanisms in psoriasis pathogenesis. A nano drug delivery system based on ROS-responsive release can enhance drug release at the target site. In this study, a ROS-sensitive material methoxypolyethylene glycol-thioether-thiol (mPEG-SS) was synthesized using mPEG as the parent structure with sulfide structural modification. An mPEG-SS-calcipotriol (mPEG-SS-CPT, PSC) nano-micelle percutaneous delivery system was prepared by encapsulating CPT. A small animal imaging system was used to study PSC’s the ROS-sensitive drug release process. It is shown that endogenous ROS mainly affects PSC and releases drugs. Finally, the therapeutic effect of PSC on psoriasis was explored by animal experiments. Ultimately, it ameliorates imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like inflammation. Overall, PSC is an effective ROS-sensitive transdermal drug delivery system that is expected to provide a new strategy for treating psoriasis.

Abstract
BackgroundDiabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia that often occurs in adults. Many studies have indicated that exercise is beneficial to the medical management of diabetes. Bibliometric analysis can help investigators to identify the current research concerns to guide future research directions. Nevertheless, the overview bibliometric analysis of this global research topic related to exercise and diabetes is lacking. The present bibliometric study aimed to investigate development trends and research hotspots of exercise and diabetes research and provide researchers with new perspectives in further studies.Materials and MethodsThe articles and reviews regarding exercise and diabetes between 2000 and 2020 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. The scientometrics analytical tool CiteSpace software was used to analyze the cooperation among countries/institutions/journals/authors, analysis of co-occurrence keywords, keywords bursts, and references.ResultsIn all, 3,029 peer-reviewed papers were found with a persistently increased tendency over time. The most prolific country and institution were the USA (965) and Univ Alberta (76), respectively. Diabetes Care published most papers (178) and was the most co-cited journal (2,630). Riddell MC had the most publications (53), and Sigal RJ was the most influential author (503 cited times). Colberg et al.'s paper (co-citation counts: 183) showed the strongest citation bursts by the end of 2020, which was the most representative reference. The four research focuses were mellitus, exercise, physical activity, and glycemic control. The two frontiers trends were sedentary behavior and stress. The combination of aerobic and resistance training can effectively improve glycemic control, decrease HbA1c levels, enhance cardiorespiratory fitness, improve lipid levels, and decrease the demand for non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents.ConclusionsThis study offers a scientific perspective on exercise and diabetes research and provides investigators with valuable information to detect the current research condition, hotspots, and emerging trends for further study.

Abstract
Background Tendinopathy is a tendon disease that often occurs in athletes. Many studies have revealed that exercise therapy is beneficial for the nonoperative management of tendinopathy. However, the general aspect bibliometric analysis of this global research topic associated with exercise and tendinopathy is lacking. The present study aimed to make a bibliometric analysis of worldwide development tendency and research hotspots in exercise and tendinopathy research from 2001 to 2020. Material/Methods Using the Web of Science, articles and reviews published between 2001 and 2020 were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded database. CiteSpace was used to analyze the relationship among publications, countries, institutions, journals, authors, references, and keywords. Results In total, 857 articles were found in this study. Over the past 20 years, there was a marked increase in the number of publications. A total of 194 different scholarly journals were dedicated to the categories Sport Sciences, Orthopedics, and Rehabilitation. The USA and La Trobe University were the most prolific country and institution, respectively. The British Journal of Sports Medicine was the prominent journal for research on exercise and tendinopathy and had the most publications. The analysis of keywords showed that rehabilitation, rotator cuff tendinopathy, stiffness, and disability of individuals with tendinopathy had become the research focus in this field. Conclusions Bibliometric analysis provides a historical and scientific perspective on exercise and tendinopathy research, providing relevant researchers, funding agencies, and policymakers with valuable information to explore the current research status, hotspots, and new directions for future research.

Abstract
To translate the Organ Transplant Symptom and Well-Being instrument (OTSWI) into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version. A total of 259 patients with organ transplants were recruited from The First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang, from November 2020 to January 2021. Construct validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and reliability were assessed using test-retest reliability and internal consistency. The Cronbach's α of the Chinese version of the Organ Transplant Symptom and Well-being instrument was 0.93. EFA demonstrated that 80.785% of the total variance was explained by a seven-factor solution. The criterion validity of the SF-36 was -0.460 (p < .01), while the test-retest reliability was 0.710. The Chinese version of the OTSWI questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the quality of life of organ transplant patients for symptoms and well-being in China.

Abstract
Carotenoids, which are pigments known to have many health benefits, such as their antioxidant properties, are being researched for their potential as a feed additive for production animals. These pigments are found in varying quantities in different breeds of corn, and their impact on the chicken microbiome requires further investigation. This 35 d laying hen (Novagen White) feeding trial involved varying the levels and composition of carotenoids by changing the corn source: white (0.9 µg total carotinoids/g total diet), yellow (5.7 µg/g), and orange (24.9 µg/g). For each of the three corn diet treatments, 6 replicate cages were randomly assigned. The cecal microbial community composition of the hens was then studied by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The composition of the cecal bacterial community, as determined by Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, was different (P < 0.05) in chickens fed the orange corn diet, compared to chickens on the white corn diet, but there was no statistical difference between animals fed yellow corn compared to the white or orange corn groups. There was no change in the alpha diversity between any of the groups. Within Lactobacillus, which is one of the most abundant genera, 2 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were decreased and one ASV was increased in the orange corn group compared to both the white and yellow corn groups. While previous studies showed that orange corn did not alter the community composition in broilers, it appears that orange corn based feed may alter the community composition of laying hens.

Abstract
Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) describes the clinical syndrome of a newborn with abnormal brain function that may result from a variety of etiologies. HIE should be distinguished from neonatal encephalopathy due to other causes using data gathered from the history, physical and neurological exam, and further investigations. Identifying the underlying cause of encephalopathy has important treatment implications. This review outlines conditions that cause NE and may be mistaken for HIE, along with their distinguishing clinical features, pathophysiology, investigations, and treatments. NE due to brain malformations, vascular causes, neuromuscular causes, genetic conditions, neurogenetic disorders and inborn errors of metabolism, central nervous system (CNS) and systemic infections, and toxic/metabolic disturbances are discussed.

Abstract
Metal-based high-touch surfaces used for indoor applications such as doorknobs, light switches, handles and desks need to remain their antimicrobial properties even when tarnished or degraded. A novel laboratory methodology of relevance for indoor atmospheric conditions and fingerprint contact has therefore been elaborated for combined studies of both tarnishing/corrosion and antimicrobial properties of such high-touch surfaces. Cu metal was used as a benchmark material. The protocol includes pre-tarnishing/corrosion of the high touch surface for different time periods in a climatic chamber at repeated dry/wet conditions and artificial sweat deposition followed by the introduction of bacteria onto the surfaces via artificial sweat droplets. This methodology provides a more realistic and reproducible approach compared with other reported procedures to determine the antimicrobial efficiency of high-touch surfaces. It provides further a possibility to link the antimicrobial characteristics to physical and chemical properties such as surface composition, chemical reactivity, tarnishing/corrosion, surface roughness and surface wettability. The results elucidate that bacteria interactions as well as differences in extent of tarnishing can alter the physical properties (e.g. surface wettability, surface roughness) as well as the extent of metal release. The results clearly elucidate the importance to consider changes in chemical and physical properties of indoor hygiene surfaces when assessing their antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
Objectives: This study examined whether risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) pain such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), baseline pain, and other putative risk factors for knee osteoarthritis pain flares (KOAF) (e.g. knee buckling, injury, mood/stress/social support scores, and footwear) could predict KOAF.Method: People with KOA and previous history of KOAF were selected from a 3 month web-based longitudinal study. KOAF was defined as an increase of ≥ 2 points on a numeric rating scale (compared with background pain) which resolved within 20 days. Predictors assessed at baseline were gender, age, duration of KOA, BMI, pain, knee injury (7 days before), knee buckling (2 days before), Lubben Social Support, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain score (ICOAP), Positive/Negative Affect Score, and footwear stability/heel height. Outcome was occurrence of any KOAF during the ensuing 30 days. The combined ability of the above variables to predict occurrence of any KOAF was evaluated by multiple logistic regression with a 10-fold cross-validation method to build and internally validate the model. Variables that assessed similar domains were eliminated using receiver operating characteristics curve assessment for best fit.Results: Complete data were available for 313 people (66.6% female, mean ± sd age 62.3 ± 8.2 years, BMI 29.7 ± 6.5 kg/m2). Increasing age, years of osteoarthritis, BMI, background/worst levels of pain, knee injury, knee buckling, ICOAP, and footwear category/heel height significantly predicted the occurrence of KOAF during the following 30 days, with an area under the curve of 0.73 (95% confidence interval 0.67-0.80).Conclusion: A combination of risk factors assessed at baseline, including exposures with potential to vary, successfully predicts the KOAF in the ensuing 30 days.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the relationship between the birth experience and the risk of developing postpartum depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. METHODS In this prospective, longitudinal, observational study, women were assessed at different time points for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. The risk of depression or post-traumatic stress disorder based on patient characteristics and specific birth events was assessed within three months postpartum. RESULTS We enrolled 600 women; 426 were eligible for postpartum assessment. At six weeks and three months postpartum, 15.9% and 12.7% screened positive for depression respectively. Positive post-traumatic stress disorder screenings at six weeks and three months postpartum were 6.2% and 5.1% respectively. Twenty-seven women (8.3%) with a negative screening at six weeks converted to a positive depression or post-traumatic stress disorder screening at three months. A pre-existing history of anxiety or depression was associated with an increased risk of developing depression (aOR 2.12, 95% CI 1.30 to 3.47) and post-traumatic stress (aOR 3.15, 95% CI 1.42 to 7.02) within three months postpartum. The risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder within three months postpartum was also increased among patients experiencing their first delivery (aOR 2.55, 95% CI 1.10 to 5.88) or operative management of postpartum hemorrhage (aOR 4.44, 95% CI 1.16 to 17.02). CONCLUSION Depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms either persisted or had new onset at three months postpartum. Mental health screening and postpartum follow-up after six weeks should be considered in high-risk patients who have a history of psychopathology, nulliparity, or undergo operative management of postpartum hemorrhage.

Abstract
We performed a genome-wide association study to identify candidate genes for body measurement traits in 463 Wagyu beef cattle typed with the Illumina Bovine HD 770K SNP array. At the genome-wide level, we detected 18, five and one SNPs associated with hip height, body height and body length respectively. In total, these SNPs are within or near 11 genes, six of which (PENK, XKR4, IMPAD1, PLAG1, CCND2 and SNTG1) have been reported previously and five of which (CSMD3, LAP3, SYN3, FAM19A5 and TIMP3) are novel candidate genes that we found to be associated with body measurement traits. Further exploration of these candidate genes will facilitate genetic improvement in Chinese Wagyu beef cattle.

Abstract
In the melt state at equilibrium, entangled nonconcatenated ring macromolecules adapt more compact conformations compared to their linear analogs and do not form an entanglement network. We show here that, when subjected to uniaxial stretching, they exhibit a unique response, which sets them apart from any other polymer. Remarkably, whereas both linear and ring polymers strain-harden, the viscosity of the rings increases dramatically (the melt thickens) at very low stretch rates due to the unraveling of their conformations along the stretching direction. At high rates, stretching leads to viscosity thinning similar to that of entangled linear polymers, albeit with subtle differences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early disturbances in systemic and cerebral hemodynamics are thought to mediate prematurity-related brain injury. However, the extent to which CBF is perturbed by preterm birth is unknown. Our aim was to compare global and regional CBF in preterm infants with and without brain injury on conventional MR imaging using arterial spin-labeling during the third trimester of ex utero life and to examine the relationship between clinical risk factors and CBF. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively enrolled preterm infants younger than 32 weeks' gestational age and <1500 g and performed arterial spin-labeling MR imaging studies. Global and regional CBF in the cerebral cortex, thalami, pons, and cerebellum was quantified. Preterm infants were stratified into those with and without structural brain injury. We further categorized preterm infants by brain injury severity: moderate-severe and mild. RESULTS We studied 78 preterm infants: 31 without brain injury and 47 with brain injury (29 with mild and 18 with moderate-severe injury). Global CBF showed a borderline significant increase with increasing gestational age at birth (P = .05) and trended lower in preterm infants with brain injury (P = .07). Similarly, regional CBF was significantly lower in the right thalamus and midpons (P < .05) and trended lower in the midtemporal, left thalamus, and anterior vermis regions (P < .1) in preterm infants with brain injury. Regional CBF in preterm infants with moderate-severe brain injury trended lower in the midpons, right cerebellar hemisphere, and dentate nuclei compared with mild brain injury (P < .1). In addition, a significant, lower regional CBF was associated with ventilation, sepsis, and cesarean delivery (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS We report early disturbances in global and regional CBF in preterm infants following brain injury. Regional cerebral perfusion alterations were evident in the thalamus and pons, suggesting regional vulnerability of the developing cerebro-cerebellar circuitry.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the association between ovarian immobility and presence of endometriomas and assess the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonographic (TVS) ovarian immobility in the detection of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS This was a multicenter prospective observational study of women presenting with chronic pelvic pain from January 2009 to March 2015. Women with or without history of endometriosis who were scheduled to undergo laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis gave a detailed history and underwent specialized TVS in a tertiary referral unit prior to laparoscopy. During TVS, ovarian mobility and the presence of endometriomas were assessed. The relationship between TVS ovarian mobility, with or without endometriomas, and DIE was correlated with the gold standard, diagnosis of endometriosis at laparoscopy. RESULTS Included in the analysis were 265 women with preoperative TVS and laparoscopic outcomes. Ovarian immobility on TVS was significantly associated with presence of endometriomas at surgery, with a prevalence of 12.2%, 10.8% and 52.7% for fixation of the left ovary only, the right ovary only and bilateral ovaries, respectively, compared with 4.2%, 3.7% and 7.3% for normal ovaries. The sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values and positive and negative likelihood ratios of TVS ovarian immobility for diagnosis at surgery of immobility of ovaries with endometriomas in the left ovary only were 44.4%, 92.3%, 44.4%, 92.3%, 5.8, 0.6, in the right ovary only were 50.0%, 98.5%, 80.0%, 94.2%, 33.0, 0.5 and bilaterally were 74.4%, 68.6%, 72.5%, 70.6%, 2.4, 0.4, while those for diagnosis of immobility of normal ovaries were 25.0%, 87.9%, 8.3%, 96.4%, 2.1, 0.9 for left ovary only, 14.3%, 92.9%, 7.1%, 96.6%, 2.0, 0.9 for right ovary only and 35.7%, 97.2%, 50.0%, 95.0%, 12.6, 0.7 bilaterally, respectively (P < 0.05 except for normal left and right ovaries with P = 0.2 and 0.4, respectively). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for performance of ovarian immobility in the prediction of DIE for all women were 58.3%, 74.1%, 60.6%, 72.2% and in the prediction of need for bowel surgery were 78.2%, 71.1%, 41.3%, 92.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant association between ovarian immobility and the presence of endometriomas. Ovarian immobility as a sonographic 'soft marker' of DIE performs better in the presence of endometriomas compared with in normal ovaries. Copyright © 2016 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
Background Craniopharyngiomas are rare intracranial tumors commonly presenting with neurological symptoms. Reports of severe hyponatremia as a presenting manifestation of a craniopharyngioma and hyponatremia-induced myopathy are rare. We report the case of a patient with craniopharyngioma presenting with severe hyponatremia, panhypopituitarism, and hyponatremia-induced myopathy. Case presentation A 52-year-old Sri Lankan man presented with anorexia, nausea, fatigue, generalized muscle weakness, and cramps for 1 week. The onset of his illness had been preceded by vomiting and diarrhea for 1 day which he attributed to food poisoning. On examination, he had an apathetic disposition with a generalized “sallow complexion.” He was not dehydrated. Apart from reduced muscle power (4/5) and hyporeflexia, the neurological examination was normal. His serum sodium was 102 mmol/l; potassium 4.1 mmol/l; chloride 63 mmol/l; plasma osmolality 272 mosm/KgH2O; urine osmolality 642 mosm/KgH2O; and urine sodium 79 mmol/l. His creatine phosphokinase was 12,400 U/l, lactate dehydrogenase 628 U/l, aspartate aminotransferase 360 U/l, and alanine aminotransferase 64 U/l. His hormone profile revealed panhypopituitarism. An electromyogram showed nonspecific abnormalities while a muscle biopsy did not show any pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging of his brain demonstrated a well-defined craniopharyngioma with suprasellar extension. His pituitary gland was compressed and the pituitary stalk was displaced by the tumor. He had marked improvement in muscle power and rapid reduction of serum creatine phosphokinase levels paralleling the correction of severe hyponatremia, even before the initiation of hormone replacement. Conclusions This case illustrates the rare presentation of severe hyponatremia and hyponatremia-induced myopathy in patients with craniopharyngioma, awareness of which would facilitate early appropriate investigations and treatment.

Abstract
The distribution of Lipiodol in the liver and lungs following arterial or portal injection was studied in normal (n = 55) and cirrhotic rats (n = 20). Using magnified xeroradiography and radioisotope labeled tracers, it was found that Lipiodol was deposited mainly in the liver and lung after either arterial or portal administration. In control rats after arterial injection, deposits in the lung peaked after 2 hours and gradually declined over 48 hours; whereas after portal injection, the deposit steadily increased for 48 hours. Twenty-five percent of cirrhotic rats demonstrated a Lipiodol-induced miliary pattern in the lung. An increased number of portosystemic shunts in cirrhotic rats was also noted. These results suggest that cirrhosis of the liver may be a potential risk factor for developing pulmonary complications after Lipiodol administration.
