Abstract
Throughout the history of crop domestication, desirable traits have been selected in agricultural products. However, such selection often leads to crops and vegetables with weaker vitality and viability than their wild ancestors when exposed to adverse environmental conditions. Considering the increasing human population and climate change challenges, it is crucial to enhance crop quality and quantity. Accordingly, the identification and utilization of diverse genetic resources are imperative for developing disease-resistant plants that can withstand unexpected epidemics of plant diseases. In this review, we provide a brief overview of recent progress in genome-editing technologies, including zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) technologies. In particular, we classify disease-resistant mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana and several crop plants based on the roles or functions of the mutated genes in plant immunity and suggest potential target genes for molecular breeding of genome-edited disease-resistant plants. Genome-editing technologies are resilient tools for sustainable development and promising solutions for coping with climate change and population increases.

Abstract
The present retrospective study evaluated intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication burden after bimatoprost sustained-release (bimatoprost SR, Durysta, Allergan) implantation in patients with glaucoma. A secondary objective was to examine an effect of bimatoprost SR in a subset of patients with prior minimally invasive and incisional glaucoma surgery. A retrospective chart review of 122 eyes that received bimatoprost SR by 6 glaucoma specialists at Wills Eye Hospital between March 2020 and September 2021 was performed. One hundred and eighteen eyes from 84 patients had a reduction in IOP (18.5±5.7mmHg vs. 16.0±5.4mmHg, P<0.01) and required fewer glaucoma medications (2.1±1.4 vs. 1.2±1.2, P<0.01) after bimatoprost SR implantation. In 41 eyes from 31 patients who previously underwent glaucoma surgery (including iStent, goniotomy, trabeculectomy, Xen Gel Stent, or tube shunt surgery), medication burden was decreased after bimatoprost SR implantation (1.9±1.3 vs. 1.0±1.0, P<0.001). These data suggest that bimatoprost SR is an efficacious treatment modality for glaucoma, even in post-surgical patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this investigation was to compare the fracture resistance of chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) lithium disilicate-reinforced ceramic occlusal veneers with and without margin and traditional full coverage premolar crowns. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 60 chairside CAD/CAM lithium disilicate-reinforced ceramic (Amber Mill, Hass Bio) restorations were designed and fabricated with a chairside CAD/CAM system (CEREC Dentsply Sirona). The restorations were divided into three groups (n=20): 1) occlusal veneer with 1.0-mm uniform occlusal thickness and with chamfer margin; 2) occlusal veneer with 1.0-mm uniform occlusal thickness and without margin; and 3) full coverage crown with uniform occlusal thickness and gingival margin. Occlusal veneers and crowns were cemented with dual cured resin luting cement (Multilink, Ivoclar Vivadent) to printed resin dies, load cycled (5 million load cycles at 1 Hz with 275 N force), and then loaded until fracture. Load at break (LB) and peak load (PL) until fracture were recorded. Scanning electron microscope images of the tested restorations on the abutments were obtained. RESULTS Fracture strengths were different depending on the design of the restoration. There was no significant difference in fracture strength between the two types of occlusal veneer (LB: 1132.45 N; PL: 1143.30 N for veneers with margin; LB: 1149.25 N; PL: 1219.05 N for veneers without margin). Full coverage crowns showed the lowest fracture resistance (LB: 936.26 N, PL: 976.42 N), which was significantly lower than both designs of occlusal veneer. CONCLUSIONS The fracture resistance of the CAD/CAM lithium disilicate-reinforced ceramic restorations was influenced by the design. Occlusal veneers with and without margin displayed higher fracture resistance than traditional crowns.

Abstract
Activated carbon (AC) compounds derived from biomass precursors have garnered significant attention as electrode materials in electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) due to their ready availability, cost-effectiveness, and potential for mass production. However, the accessibility of their active sites in electrochemistry has not been investigated in detail. In this study, we synthesized two novel macro/micro-porous carbon structures prepared from a chitosan precursor using an acid/potassium hydroxide activation process and then examined the relationship between their textural characteristics and capacitance as EDLCs. The material characterizations showed that the ACs, prepared through different activation processes, differed in porosity, with distinctive variations in particle shape. The sample activated at 800 °C (Act-chitosan) was characterized by plate-shaped particles, a specific surface area of 4128 m2/g, and a pore volume of 1.87 cm3/g. Assessment of the electrochemical characteristics of Act-chitosan showed its remarkable capacitance of 183.5 F/g at a scan rate of 5 mV/s, and it maintained exceptional cyclic stability even after 10,000 cycles. The improved electrochemical performance of both chitosan-derived carbon structures could thus be attributed to their large, well-developed active sites within pores < 2 nm, despite the fact that interconnected macro-porous particles can enhance ion accessibility on electrodes. Our findings provide a basis for the fabrication of biomass-based materials with promising applications in electrochemical energy storage systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

Abstract
The concept of integrating diverse functional 2D materials into a heterostructure provides platforms for exploring physics that cannot be accessed in a single 2D material. Here, physically mixing two 2D materials, MXene and MoS2, followed by freeze-drying is utilized to successfully fabricate a 3D MoS2/MXene van der Waals heterostructure aerogel. The low-temperature synthetic approach effectively suppresses significant oxidation of the Ti3C2Tx MXene and results in a hierarchical and freestanding 3D heterostructure composed of high-quality MoS2 and MXene nanosheets. Functionalization of MXene with a MoS2 catalytic layer substantially improves sensitivity and long-term stability toward detection of NO2 gas, and computational studies are coupled with experimental results to elucidate that the mechanism behind enhancements in the gas-sensing properties is effective inhibition of HNO2 formation on the MXene surface, due to the presence of MoS2. Overall, this study has a great potential for expansion of applicability to other classes of two-dimensional materials as a general synthesis method, to be applied in future fields of catalysis and electronics.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) MRI-Linac guided radiotherapy is a novel treatment modality allowing for daily online adaptation of contours and treatment planning. MRI-Linac prostate SBRT (MRL-SBRT) has recently been shown to provide a tangible benefit in decreasing both acute and late toxicity, due to the ability to evaluate soft tissue contrast, directly monitor organ motion, and anatomical changes during the entire treatment course. Multiple MRI-Linac platforms are available, which provide different advantages with regards to imaging and motion management. We undertook this study to assess coverage of the clinical target volume with use of a standard PTV margin in patients receiving either adapt-to-position (ATP) only treatment or a combination of adapt-to-position and adapt-to-shape (ATP+ATS) on the Elekta Unity MR-Linac. MATERIALS/METHODS Data was collected retrospectively in patients who underwent prostate SBRT using a 1.5 T MR-Linac (Unity, Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden). Prior to each fraction, determination of ATP or ATS planning was at the discretion of the treating physician. Prostate and organs at risk (OAR's) were contoured on the reference MRI and daily MR image sets acquired prior to each fraction. The prostate PTV consisted of a 5mm margin, except 3mm posteriorly. Contours were merged to account for target and OAR volumes during all fractions. Target volumes from the reference plan were then compared to the clinical target volume (CTV) on pre-treatment MR-Linac imaging as well as intersection with OAR's. RESULTS Nineteen men, median age 72 years (range 67-75), with prostate cancer underwent treatment from May 2021 to January 2023 with MRL-SBRT. The average time for ATP vs ATP+ATS was 45 minutes (range 35-60) and 60 minutes (range 50-80), respectively. The mean CTV treated was 43.4cc (range 31-60) for ATP and 51.8cc (range 36-67) for ATP+ATS. Prior to plan adaptation, target volumes in 92.6% of fractions were not covered completely by the PTV. In the ATP cohort, 89% of fractions had a portion of the CTV uncovered with an average of 2.9cc. In the ATP+ATS cohort, 96.4% had a portion of the CTV uncovered, with an average of 6.9cc. There was no difference in the amount of PTV intersection for ATP or ATP+ATS plans with the rectum (1.1cc vs. 1.5cc) and bladder (9.2cc vs. 12.6cc), respectively. All patients completed the planned course of treatment. CONCLUSION Adaptive radiation therapy for prostate cancer utilizing an MR-Linac based approach with the Elekta Unity was feasible for patients requiring either ATP only or ATP+ATS plans. As expected, ATS plans required longer treatment time, allowing for improved coverage of the target when deemed clinically necessary. Despite a larger overall volume treated in ATS plans, there was no difference in overlap with OARs between ATP and ATS plans. Adaption for each daily fraction and intrafraction motion monitoring improved CT coverage with our pre-specified PTV margin.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Accurate measurement of daily target motion on online plan adaptation is essential for re-optimizing the internal target volume (ITV) margins. In this study, by analyzing 2D cine MR images acquired in a 1.5T MR-Linac, we assessed daily target motion and its inter-fractional variations, which is then used to customize ITV margins for MR-based online adaptive plan of liver and pancreatic stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS/METHODS Twenty-threepatients, enrolled in this study, underwent MR-guided online adaptive SBRT on 1.5 T MR-Linac: liver (n = 12 without compression belt (CB), n = 2 with CB) and pancreas (n = 9 with CB). Target motion in a 2D coronal and sagittal MR images (> 200 cine images to cover multiple breathing cycles), as well as a set of 4D-CT images during the simulation, was analyzed to determine patient specific ITV margins for a reference plan. On every fraction of online adaptive SBRT, the 2D MR images were exported to commercially available software along with a planning MR images: a T1-wighted MR image set for pancreas and or a navigated T2-wighted MR image set for liver. Daily target motion was then measured by overlaying the orthogonal cine image set on the T1- or T2-wighted image set. The ITV margin was adjusted when required prior to online plan optimization RESULTS: Thisstudy successfully assessed the daily target motion and inter-fractional variations in 23 liver or pancreatic cancer patients. We found a discrepancy of daily target motion of orthogonal 2D cine MR images from that of 4D-CT, required to adjust the ITV margin for online plan adaptation. In liver SBRT without CB, 15 out of 45 fractions from 12 patients (33.3 %) went through adjusted ITV margin. The tumor motion was large up to a 2.2 cm along the inferior direction in a patient without CB and thus the patient was treated on a conventional Linac with the active breathing control (ABC) unit for breath-hold. On the other hand, no adjustments were necessary for 2 liver patients with CB. In 9 patients with pancreatic cancers, we found the inter-fractional ITV variations in 3 out of 45 fractions (6.7 %) adjusted the ITV margin. The daily target motion in the pancreatic patients with CB was more stable and relatively smaller than that of the liver patients. CONCLUSION Theorthogonal 2D cine MR images are evidently essential for assessing daily target motion to evaluate the inter-fractional variation and achieve daily ITV-customized liver and pancreatic SBRT in the 1.5 T MR-Linac. The customized ITV approach will improve the treatment outcome of the MR-guided online adaptive therapy.

Abstract
The delivery of comprehensive sexuality education to adolescents at school is recognized as a long-term strategy to support adolescent health. Suboptimal sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes among South African adolescents necessitate the ongoing development and optimization of SRH education and promotion models. We conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial amongst secondary schools (n = 38) in Cape Town, South Africa, to evaluate a sport-based, near-peer-led SRH curriculum, SKILLZ, amongst female learners (n = 2791). Biomedical (sexually transmitted infections [STIs], human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] and pregnancy) and socio-behavioural (social support, gender norms and self-concept) outcomes were assessed pre and post intervention. Attendance at SKILLZ was low and intervention participants did not show an improvement in SRH outcomes, with HIV and pregnancy incidence remaining stable and STI prevalence remaining high and increasing in both control and intervention arms. Although evidence of positive socio-behavioural measures was present at baseline, participants with high attendance showed further improvement in positive gender norms. SKILLZ did not demonstrate the capacity to significantly impact clinical SRH outcomes. Modest improvements in outcomes amongst high attenders suggest that the impact may be possible with improved attendance; however, in the absence of optimal attendance, alternative intervention strategies may be required to improve SRH outcomes amongst adolescents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to quantify the difference in mortality inequalities using the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) and the Income and Employment Index (IEI; a subindex of SIMD, which excludes health) as ranking measures in Scotland. STUDY DESIGN This ecological study was a cross-sectional analysis of routine administrative data. METHODS Data from the 2020 SIMD and the subindex using data from only the Income and Employment domains, the IEI, were obtained. The correlation between data zones, percentage of data zones that changed deprivation tenth and differences in the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Relative Index of Inequality (RII) for Standardised Mortality Ratios (SMRs) across tenths were compared when data zones were ranked by SIMD and IEI. RESULTS There was a close correlation between data zones ranked by SIMD and IEI (R2 = 0.96). When data zones were ranked by IEI, 18.7% of data zones moved to a lower deprivation tenth, and 20.8% of data zones moved to a higher deprivation tenth, compared with SIMD. However, only a negligible number of data zones moved two or more tenths. The SMRs across deprivation tenths were very similar between the SIMD and IEI, as were the summary health inequality measures of SII (87.3 compared with 85.7) and RII (0.88 and 0.86). CONCLUSION Although there is a logical problem in using deprivation indices that include health outcomes to rank areas to calculate the scale of health inequalities, the impact of using an alternative subindex containing only data from the income and employment domains is minimal. For population-wide analyses of health inequalities in Scotland, the SIMD does not introduce a substantial bias in the health inequalities summary measures despite substantial movement of small areas between ranked population tenths. Although not examined here, this is likely to be relevant to other similar indices across the United Kingdom.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Area-based deprivation indices are used in many countries to target interventions and policies to populations with the greatest needs. Analyses of the Carstairs deprivation index applied to postcode sectors in 2001 identified that less than half of all deprived individuals lived in the most deprived areas. OBJECTIVE This article examines the specificity and sensitivity of deprivation indices across Great Britain in identifying individuals claiming income- and employment-related social security benefits. STUDY DESIGN This was a descriptive analysis of cross-sectional administrative data. METHODS The data sets for the 2020 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, Scottish Income and Employment Index, the 2019 English Index of Multiple Deprivation and the 2019 Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation were obtained. For each data set, small areas were ranked by increasing overall deprivation, and the cumulative proportions of individuals who were income and employment deprived were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to show the sensitivity and specificity of each index, and the percentages of income- and employment-deprived individuals captured at different overall deprivation thresholds were calculated. RESULTS Across all indices, the sensitivity and specificity for detecting income- and employment-deprived individuals were low, with less than half living in the most deprived 20% of areas. Between 55% and 62% of income-deprived people and between 56% and 63% of employment-deprived people were missed across the indices at the 20% deprivation threshold. The sensitivity and specificity were slightly higher for income deprivation than employment deprivation across indices and slightly higher for the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation and Scottish Income and Employment Index than for the English Index of Multiple Deprivation and Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation. CONCLUSION Area-based deprivation measures in Great Britain have limited sensitivity and specificity for identifying individuals who are income or employment deprived. Place-based policies and interventions are unlikely to be effective at reducing inequalities as a result. Creation of individually linked data sets and interventions that recognise the social and economic relationships between social groups are likely to be more effective.

Abstract
The kinetic-sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the main obstacle in electrocatalytic water splitting for sustainable production of hydrogen energy. Efficient water electrolysis can be ensured by lowering the overpotential of the OER by developing highly active catalysts. In this study, a controlled electrophoretic deposition strategy was used to develop a binder-free spinel oxide nanoparticle-coated Ni foam as an efficient electrocatalyst for water oxidation. Oxygen evolution was successfully promoted using the CoFe2O4 catalyst, and it was optimized by modulating the electrophoretic parameters. When optimized, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles presented more active catalytic sites, superior charge transfer, increased ion diffusion, and favorable reaction kinetics, which led to a small overpotential of 287 mV for a current density of 10 mA cm-2, with a small Tafel slope of 43 mV dec-1. Moreover, the CoFe2O4 nanoparticle electrode exhibited considerable long-term stability over 100 h without detectable activity loss. The results demonstrate promising potential for large-scale water splitting using Earth-abundant oxide materials via a simple and cheap fabrication process.

Abstract
Heart ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is related to iron content. However, the occurrence and mechanism of changes in labile iron pool (LIP) during I/R is debatable. Moreover, the identity of the iron form dominant in LIP during I/R is unclear. Herein, we measured changes of LIP during simulated ischemia (SI) and reperfusion (SR), in which ischemia was simulated in vitro with lactic acidosis and hypoxia. Total LIP did not change in lactic acidosis, whereas LIP, especially Fe3+, increased in hypoxia. Under SI, accompanied by hypoxia with acidosis, both Fe2+ and Fe3+ were significantly increased. Increased total LIP was maintained at 1 h post-SR. However, the Fe2+ and Fe3+ portion was changed. The increased Fe2+ was decreased, and conversely the Fe3+ was increased. BODIPY oxidized signal increased and through the time-course these changes correlated with blebbing of cell membrane and SR-induced LDH release. These data suggested lipid peroxidation occurred via Fenton's reaction. The experiments using bafilomycin A1 and zinc protoporphyrin suggested no role of ferritinophagy or heme oxidation in the increase of LIP during SI. The extracellular source, transferrin assessed using serum transferrin bound iron (TBI) saturation showed that the depletion of TBI reduced SR-induced cell damages and additive saturation of TBI accelerated SR-induced lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, Apo-Tf dramatically blocked the increase of LIP and SR-induced damages. In conclusion, Tf-mediated iron induces the increase of LIP during SI, and it causes Fenton reaction-mediated lipid peroxidation during the early phase of SR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is nearly three times higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) than the general population. These patients have an increased risk of stroke and systemic thromboembolism (SSE) as well as bleeding. The role for direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in those with advanced CKD and AF remains controversial. Studies show that patients on DOACs for AF with advanced CKD have similar risk of SSE and bleeding compared to those on warfarin, but these failed to account for changes in renal function over time.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the pattern of oral anticoagulant prescribing, class switching, discontinuation and renal function trajectory in patients with AF in the last decade, coinciding with the development of DOACs.
Methods
Using linked administrative databases, we assessed patients 66 years of age and older with a new diagnosis of non-valvular AF between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2020 who were started on oral anticoagulation within 90 days of diagnosis. Participants required a baseline serum creatinine (Cr) measurement in the year preceding AF diagnosis. Cr values were used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation. Kidney function was tracked at baseline and longitudinally among patients prescribed DOACs versus warfarin using the Laboratories Information System. Anticoagulant class switching was tracked and discontinuation was defined if a new prescription for anticoagulation was not filled after 90 days of their last prescription ending.
Results
A total of 57,574 participants were included in the study; 48,662 were started on DOACs and 8,912 were started on warfarin. In April 2012, 83.8% of patients were prescribed warfarin; however, the proportion of first prescriptions significantly evolved over time to DOACs (Figure 1). Of those started on DOACs, 13,383 (27.5%) discontinued therapy, 34,918 (71.8%) remained on therapy and 361 (0.7%) switched to warfarin. The rate of discontinuation among those started on warfarin was higher with 4,144 (46.5%) stopping, 3,172 (35.6%) continuing therapy and 1,596 (17.9%) switching to DOACs. Most patients (75.6%) who switched to DOACs from warfarin remained on DOACs until the occurrence of dialysis, renal transplantation, death, or the last follow-up date (March 31, 2020). At baseline, the mean eGFR in the warfarin group was 56.2 compared with 66.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the DOAC group (p<0.01). Over the course of study, more than half of the subjects in both groups had a 20% or more decline in eGFR (Figure 2).
Conclusion
Given the degree of renal function decline and frequency of anticoagulant class switching in our cohort, existing observational studies comparing DOACs to warfarin in patients with AF and CKD may be limited. In order to better compare DOACs to warfarin in this population, time-varying covariates like renal function should be included in modelling.

Abstract
Individual carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene have unique mechanical and electrical properties; however, the properties of their macroscopic assemblies have not met expectations because of limited physical dimensions, the limited degree of dispersion of the components, and various structural defects. Here, a state-of-the-art assembly for a novel type of hybrid fiber possessing the properties required for a wide variety of multifunctional applications is presented. A simple and effective multidimensional nanostructure of CNT and graphene oxide (GO) assembled by solution processing improves the interfacial utilization of the components. Flexible GOs are effectively intercalated between nanotubes along the shape of CNTs, which reduces voids, enhances orientation, and maximizes the contact between elements. The microstructure is finely controlled by the elements content ratio and dimensions, and an optimal balance improves the mechanical properties. The hybrid fibers simultaneously exhibit exceptional strength (6.05 GPa), modulus (422 GPa), toughness (76.8 J g-1 ), electrical conductivity (8.43 MS m-1 ), and knot strength efficiency (92%). Furthermore, surface and electrochemical properties are significantly improved by tuning the GO content, further expanding the scope of applications. These hybrid fibers are expected to offer a strategy for overcoming the limitations of existing fibers in meeting the requirements for applications in the fiber industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

Abstract
Post-fracture care (PFC) programs evaluate and manage patients with a minimal trauma or fragility fracture to prevent subsequent fractures. We conducted a literature review to understand current trends in PFC publications, evaluate key characteristics of PFC programs, and assess their clinical effectiveness, geographic variations, and cost-effectiveness. We performed a search for peer-reviewed articles published between January 2003 and December 2020 listed in PubMed or Google Scholar. We categorized identified articles into 4 non-mutually exclusive PFC subtopics based on keywords and abstract content: PFC Types, PFC Effectiveness/Success, PFC Geography, and PFC Economics. The literature search identified 784 eligible articles. Most articles fit into multiple PFC subtopics (PFC Types, 597; PFC Effectiveness/Success, 579; PFC Geography, 255; and PFC Economics, 98). The number of publications describing how PFC programs can improve osteoporosis treatment rates has markedly increased since 2003; however, publication gaps remain, including low numbers of publications from some countries with reported high rates of osteoporosis and/or hip fractures. Fracture liaison services and geriatric/orthogeriatric services were the most common models of PFC programs, and both were shown to be cost-effective. We identified a need to expand and refine PFC programs and to standardize patient identification and reporting on quality improvement measures. Although there is an increasing awareness of the importance of PFC programs, publication gaps remain in most countries. Improvements in established PFC programs and implementation of new PFC programs are still needed to enhance equitable patient care to prevent occurrence of subsequent fractures.

Abstract
Rac1 is critically involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, neuronal structure, synaptic plasticity, and memory. Rac1 overactivation is reported in human patients and animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and contributes to their spatial memory deficits, but whether Rac1 dysregulation is also important in other forms of memory deficits is unknown. In addition, the cell types and synaptic mechanisms involved remain unclear. In this study, we used local injections of AAV virus containing a dominant-negative (DN) Rac1 under the control of CaMKIIα promoter and found that the reduction of Rac1 hyperactivity in ventral hippocampal excitatory neurons improves social recognition memory in APP/PS1 mice. Expression of DN Rac1 also improves long-term potentiation, a key synaptic mechanism for memory formation. Our results suggest that overactivation of Rac1 in hippocampal excitatory neurons contributes to social memory deficits in APP/PS1 mice and that manipulating Rac1 activity may provide a potential therapeutic strategy to treat social deficits in AD.

Abstract
AIM The transition from paediatric to adult care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of treatment non-adherence, hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) use. We established a new young adult IBD clinic (YAC) in Melbourne to capture this at-risk population. We aimed to assess patient satisfaction as well as clinical outcomes. METHODS All patients who attended the YAC between its inception in November 2016 and November 2018 were recruited to our YAC group, 61 patients in total. A control group was selected from the pre-existing adult clinic (AC) at our service, 34 patients in total. IBD-related ED (IBD-ED) visits were collected for all patients. We compared IBD-ED visits in the 2 years before and after attending the clinic for the first time. Patient satisfaction was assessed using the IBD-Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire. RESULTS There was an overall decrease in IBD-ED visits between the pre-clinic and post-clinic periods in both the YAC (42.9% reduction) and AC (69.2% reduction) (P < 0.001). Patient satisfaction was high amongst both services with YAC patients indicating higher satisfaction with communication (P = 0.015). CONCLUSION There was a reduction in IBD-ED visits in both the YAC and the AC, high patient satisfaction, and statistically higher satisfaction with communication in the YAC. We speculate the importance of a YAC is to capture those patients in the peri-transitional period at risk of being lost to follow-up or not previously referred for specialist care.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenide-based quantum dots are promising materials for applications in diverse fields, such as sensors, electronics, catalysis, and biomedicine, because of their outstanding physicochemical properties. In this study, we propose bio-imaging characteristics through utilizing water-soluble MoS2 quantum dots (MoS2-QDs) with two different sizes (i.e., ~5 and ~10 nm). The structural and optical properties of the fabricated metallic phase MoS2-QDs (m-MoS2-QDs) were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence. The synthesized m-MoS2-QDs showed clear photophysical characteristic peaks derived from the quantum confinement effect and defect sites, such as oxygen functional groups. When the diameter of the synthesized m-MoS2-QD was decreased, the emission peak was blue-shifted from 436 to 486 nm under excitation by a He-Cd laser (325 nm). Density functional theory calculations confirmed that the size decrease of m-MoS2-QDs led to an increase in the bandgap because of quantum confinement effects. In addition, when incorporated into the bio-imaging of HeLa cells, m-MoS2-QDs were quite biocompatible with bright luminescence and exhibited low toxicity. Our results are commercially applicable for achieving high-performance bio-imaging probes.

Abstract
Theoretical considerations suggest that the strength of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers be exceptional; however, their mechanical performance values are much lower than the theoretical values. To achieve macroscopic fibers with ultrahigh performance, we developed a method to form multidimensional nanostructures by coalescence of individual nanotubes. The highly aligned wet-spun fibers of single- or double-walled nanotube bundles were graphitized to induce nanotube collapse and multi-inner walled structures. These advanced nanostructures formed a network of interconnected, close-packed graphitic domains. Their near-perfect alignment and high longitudinal crystallinity that increased the shear strength between CNTs while retaining notable flexibility. The resulting fibers have an exceptional combination of high tensile strength (6.57 GPa), modulus (629 GPa), thermal conductivity (482 W/m·K), and electrical conductivity (2.2 MS/m), thereby overcoming the limits associated with conventional synthetic fibers.
