RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Next-generation sequencing helps clinicians diagnose patients with suspected genetic disorders. The current study aimed to investigate the diagnostic yield and clinical utility of prospective whole-exome sequencing (WES) in rare diseases. METHODS: WES was performed in 92 patients who presented with clinical symptoms suggestive of genetic disorders. The WES data were analyzed using an in-house developed software. The patients' phenotypic characteristics were classified according to the human phenotype ontology. RESULTS: WES detected 64 variants, 13 were classified as pathogenic, 26 as likely pathogenic, and 25 as variants of uncertain significance. In 57 patients with these variants, 30 were identified as causal variants. The diagnostic yield was higher in patients with abnormalities in joint mobility and skin morphology than in those with cerebellar hypoplasia/atrophy, epilepsy, global developmental delay, dysmorphic features/facial dysmorphisms, and chronic kidney disease/abnormal renal morphology. CONCLUSION: In this study, a WES-based variant interpretation system was employed to provide a definitive diagnosis for 28.3% of the patients suspected of having genetic disorders. WES is particularly useful for diagnosing rare diseases with symptoms that affect more than one system, when targeted genetic panels are difficult to employ.

The electrode buffer layer is crucial for high-performance and stable OSCs, optimizing charge transport and energy level alignment at the interface between the polymer active layer and electrode. Recently, SnO2 has emerged as a promising material for the cathode buffer layer due to its desirable properties, such as high electron mobility, transparency, and stability. Typically, SnO2 nanoparticle layers require a postannealing treatment above 150°C in an air environment to remove the surfactant ligands and obtain high-quality thin films. However, this poses challenges for flexible electronics as flexible substrates can't tolerate temperatures exceeding 100°C. This study presents solution-processable and annealing-free SnO2 nanoparticles by employing y-ray irradiation to disrupt the bonding between surfactant ligands and SnO2 nanoparticles. The SnO2 layer treated with y-ray irradiation is used as an electron transport layer in OSCs based on PTB7-Th:IEICO-4F. Compared to the conventional SnO2 nanoparticles that required high-temperature annealing, the y-SnO2 nanoparticle-based devices exhibit an 11% comparable efficiency without postannealing at a high temperature. Additionally, y-ray treatment has been observed to eliminate the light-soaking effect of SnO2 . By eliminating the high-temperature postannealing and light-soaking effect, y-SnO2 nanoparticles offer a promising, cost-effective solution for future flexible solar cells fabricated using roll-to-roll mass processing.
RESUMO
(Bi1-xSbx)2S3solid solution nanowires (0≤x≤0.73) are grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass via physical vapor transport. The compositions were controlled by varying the Sb2S3source temperature (300 °C-453 °C) by changing the upstream locations of the Sb2S3source in the furnace while keeping the Bi2S3source at the center of the furnace (497 °C). Defect-free nanowires with phase-pure orthorhombic and quasi-1 dimensional crystal structures were grown under a modified vapor-solid mechanism affected by FTO at initial growth stage. The aspect ratios of the nanowires reached the minimum at compositionxâ¼0.6.As the Sb2S3source approached the Bi2S3source,xincreased owing to the increase in the Sb2S3source temperature.x/(1-x), which is proportional to the evaporation flux of the Sb2S3source, could be well-fitted with a thermally activated equation with an apparent activation energy (105kJmol-1). However, at the distance between the Sb2S3and Bi2S3sources, with the Sb2S3source at temperatures higher than 410 °C, the compositions reduced despite the increased Sb2S3evaporation flux. Such retrograde behavior was confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and micro-Raman studies. This retrograde behavior is ascribed to the loss due to the reaction of gaseous Sb species with the Bi2S3source.
RESUMO
This study investigated the effect of the flavonoid-based compound isorhamnetin (ISO) on maturation and developmental competence in oxidative stress-exposed porcine oocytes in vitro. Treatment with 2 µM ISO (2 ISO) increases the developmental rate of oxidative stress-exposed porcine oocytes during in vitro maturation (IVM). The glutathione level and mRNA expression of antioxidant-related genes (NFE2L2 and SOD2) were increased in the 2 ISO-treated group, whereas the reactive oxygen species level was decreased. Treatment with 2 ISO increased mRNA expression of a cumulus cell expansion-related gene (SHAS2) and improved chromosomal alignment. mRNA expression of maternal genes (CCNB1, MOS, BMP15 and GDF9) and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity were increased in the 2 ISO-treated group. The total cell number per blastocyst and percentage of apoptotic cells were increased and decreased in the 2 ISO-treated group, respectively. Treatment with 2 ISO increased mRNA expression of development-related genes (SOX2, NANOG, and POU5F1) and anti-apoptotic genes (BCL2L1 and BIRC5) and decreased that of pro-apoptotic genes (CASP3 and FAS). These results demonstrate that 2 ISO improves the quality of porcine oocytes by protecting them against oxidative stress during IVM and enhances subsequent embryo development in vitro. Therefore, we propose that ISO is a useful supplement for IVM of porcine oocytes.

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a new chemiluminescent immunoassay-based tuberculosis (TB) interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), AdvanSureI3 TB-IGRA (LG Chem Ltd., Seoul, Republic of Korea), for detecting latent tuberculosis infection in comparison with T-SPOT.TB (Oxford Immunotec, Oxford, UK). Materials and Methods: Between June 2021 and December 2021, 125 non-duplicate blood specimens were collected from adult volunteers; each subject received both tests concurrently. Total agreement and Cohen's kappa coefficient (κ) were used to calculate concordance. The Jonckheere-Terpstra test was used to examine the correlation between interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) levels in AdvanSureI3 TB-IGRA and spot counts in T-SPOT.TB. Results: The IGRA findings of the two assays revealed 90.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 84.2-94.8) total agreement with κ of 0.740 (95% CI = 0.595-0.885), showing substantial agreement between the two tests. Additionally, the amount of IFN-γ in AdvanSureI3 TB-IGRA increased with the spot counts in T-SPOT.TB (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our research revealed that the results of the AdvanSureI3 TB-IGRA were comparable to those of T-SPOT.TB.

BACKGROUND: Transfusion of ABO blood group-mismatched blood or administration to the wrong recipient may result in fatal adverse events. To prevent these types of errors, various strategies have been employed. Recently, we developed a novel sample collection workflow for the pre-transfusion crossmatching test and patient recognition. This study aimed to analyse the usage of the new workflow and improvements in outcomes. METHODS: We analysed the number of crossmatching and wrong-patient errors among the blood transfusion cases during 3 years of data collection (from August 2018 to July 2021). From May 2021 to July 2021, the new workflow was implemented. Outcomes were calculated according to the department type, patient age and processing time. The sample processing time was defined as the time from placing the order to lab arrival. RESULTS: The new workflow utilisation increased from 50.7% to 80.3% and wrong-patient errors decreased annually. The new workflow was used for more adults (3001/3680 samples, 81.5%) than paediatric cases (345/522 samples, 65.5%; p < 0.001) and in general wards than in the emergency room or intensive care unit. The sample processing time differed according to ward type and timing of the request (day: 28.80, 2.43-3889.43 min, night: 3.36, 2.72-1671.47 min; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Wrong-patient errors were reduced without increasing sample-processing time after introducing the new workflow which included using an electronic identification system. The time needed for the blood processing differed according to the ward type, patient age, and timing of the request. Patient safety can be promoted by managing these factors and using an electronic identification system.

Our previous studies have already revealed that ß-cryptoxanthin (BCX), hesperetin (HES), and icariin (ICA) antioxidants are effective for in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes. In this study, we investigated which of BCX, HES, or ICA was more effective for IVM of porcine oocytes. The antioxidant properties were assessed with aged porcine oocytes and embryos by comparing 2,2-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)hydrazyl (DPPH), reducing power, and H2O2 scavenging activity assays. The chemical assay results demonstrated that BCX had a greater DPPH scavenging activity and reducing power than HES and ICA, compared with controls. However, the H2O2 scavenging activity of the antioxidants was similar when tested at the optimal concentrations of 1 µM BCX (BCX-1), 100 µM HES (HES-100), and 5 µM ICA (ICA-5). The biological assay results showed that BCX-1 treatment was more effective in inducing a significant reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS), improving glutathione levels, and increasing the expression of antioxidant genes. In addition, BCX-1 inhibited apoptosis by increasing the expression of anti-apoptotic genes and decreasing pro-apoptotic genes in porcine parthenogenetic blastocysts. BCX-1 also significantly increased the blastocyst formation rate compared with the ageing control group, HES-100 and ICA-5. This study demonstrates that damage from ROS produced during oocyte ageing can be prevented by supplementing antioxidants into the IVM medium, and BCX may be a potential candidate to improve assisted reproductive technologies.

This study investigated the effect of the antioxidant dieckol, a component of Ecklonia cava, on maturation and developmental competence of porcine oocytes exposed to oxidative stress in vitro. Oocytes were matured in in vitro maturation (IVM) medium containing various concentrations of dieckol. The blastocyst formation rate was highest in the 0.5 µM dieckol-treated (0.5 DEK) group. The reactive oxygen species level was decreased, and the level of glutathione and expression of antioxidant genes (NFE2L, SOD1, and SOD2) at metaphase II were increased in the 0.5 DEK group. Abnormal spindle organization and chromosome misalignment were prevented in the 0.5 DEK group. Expression of maternal markers (CCNB1 and MOS) and activity of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase were increased in the 0.5 DEK group. After parthenogenetic activation, the total number of cells per blastocyst was increased and the percentage of apoptotic cells was decreased in the 0.5 DEK group. Expression of development-related genes (CX45, CDX2, POU5F1, and NANOG), antiapoptotic genes (BCL2L1 and BIRC5), and a proapoptotic gene (CASP3) were altered in the 0.5 DEK group. These results indicate that the antioxidant dieckol improves IVM and subsequent development of porcine oocytes and can be used to improve the quality of oocytes under peroxidation experimental conditions.

Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN) is associated with mutations in the autophagy gene WDR45. The aim of this study was to demonstrate autophagic defects in a patient with BPAN. We assayed autophagic markers using western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry and applied transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to visualize the autophagic structures in fibroblasts from a 7-year-old Korean female with WDR45 splice-site mutation (c.977-1G>A; NM_007075.3). The protein and mRNA expression levels of WDR45 gene were decreased in the patient-derived fibroblasts. The amount of increase in LC3-II upon treatment with an autophagy inducer and inhibitor was reduced in mutant cells compared to control cells, suggesting decreased autophagic flux. TEM showed the accumulation of large vacuoles in mutant cells with a decrease of autophagosomes. Our study demonstrated that the WDR45 mutation in this patient impaired autophagy and provided additional insight into ultrastructural changes of autophagic structures.

The synthesized amorphous metallated polymer exhibited long wavelength absorption in the range of 500684 nm and a band-gap as low as 1.75 eV. Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) fabricated from p-Pt-DPP showed hole mobility of 1.6 × 10⻳ cm² · V⻹s⻹ and an on/off ratio of 5 × 104. In addition, polymer solar cells (PSCs) based on p-Pt-DPP and PC71BM exhibited a photovoltaic efficiency of 1.22% under AM 1.5 G conditions with an illumination of 100 mW·cm−2 without any annealing process.
RESUMO
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute necrotizing vasculitis that occurs in children <5 years of age. The cause of KD remains unknown, but various complications, including dilatation of the coronary arteries, can occur. Coronary artery aneurysm or ectasia are the most important complications of KD. Children with suspected KD who do not fulfill the diagnostic criteria may have incomplete KD. Given that incomplete KD is associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment, children with incomplete KD have a high risk of cardiovascular complications. Meanwhile, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most prevalent micronutrient deficiencies in the world. Children with IDA are prone to infection and inflammation. We report the case of a 12-month-old girl with incomplete KD who presented with cardiac murmur and severe IDA.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to investigate useful perioperative monitoring markers by comparing serial levels of serum procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in routine surgical circumstances. METHODS: In 285 surgeries of 277 patients, blood samples were obtained serially, at least three times per patient: within 48 h before surgery, 0-6 h after surgery (post-OP1), >6-28 h after surgery (post-OP2), and/or later (post-OP3). PCT, IL-6, and CRP were measured. Their demographic, operative, laboratory, and clinical data were collected retrospectively. RESULTS: The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (n=39) and sepsis (n=11) groups showed higher post-operative values than the non-SIRS group (n=233). Their maximum significant median levels were 8.96 vs. 0.21 µg/L for post-OP2 PCT, 743.1 vs. 85.8 ng/L for post-OP1 IL-6, and 103.4 vs. 49.0 mg/L for post-OP2 CRP. Among non-SIRS patients, 12 patients developed undesirable post-operative events, including secondary surgery and death. The highest area under receiver operator characteristic curves was 0.92 at post-OP1 PCT (cut-off, 0.1 µg/L; sensitivity, 91.7%; specificity, 78.7%), and the next highest was 0.84 at post-OP1 IL-6 (cut-off, 359 ng/L; sensitivity, 66.7%; specificity, 91.9%). All biomarkers were increased by non-specific surgical stimuli; however, post-OP1/post-OP2 PCT were <1.0 µg/L (90th percentile) except major abdominal surgeries. CONCLUSIONS: Post-OP1 PCT measurement may be useful as a post-operative monitoring marker for the following reasons: pre-operative values less than the cut-off regardless of pre-operative state (age, malignancy, and American Society of Anesthesiologists class); minimal influence from surgical stimulus; and prediction of post-operative undesirable events.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a very rare mature B-cell neoplasm and its simultaneous occurrence with chronic myeloid leukemia has been reported in only three cases. The pathogenesis and relationship of the two diseases are not clear. Here we report a case of HCL expressing a BCR/ABL1 clone, which showed molecular remission of the fusion clones and achieved partial remission over nine months of cladribine therapy. After a thorough analysis of previous studies and the results of this patient, we speculate that a subclone evolved to have an additional genetic BCR/ABL1 rearrangement. We also review all published literature on HCL with BCR/ABL1 rearrangement and discuss the pathophysiology of these unusual cases.

BACKGROUND: Identifying the underlying etiology of developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID) is challenging but important. The genetic diagnosis of unexplained DD/ID helps in the treatment and prognosis of the disability in patients. In this study, we reported our experience of using whole exome sequencing (WES) of children with unexplained DD/ID. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of WES results of children under 19 years of age with unexplained DD/ID between January 2020 and December 2021. The demographic data of all patients and variants identified through WES were evaluated. Furthermore, we evaluated the clinical characteristics that influenced the identification of genetic causes. RESULTS: Forty-one patients with DD/ID were included, of whom 21 (51.2 %) were male. The average age at symptom onset was 1.6 ± 1.3 years, and the duration from symptom onset to diagnosis was 3.1 ± 3.7 years. Hypotonia was the most common symptom (17 patients, 41.5 %), and epilepsy was confirmed in 10 patients (24.4 %). Twenty-two pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants were identified in 20 patients, and three variants of uncertain significance were identified in three patients. Family-based trio Sanger sequencing for candidate variants of 12 families was conducted; 10 variants were de novo, one variant paternally inherited, and two variants compound heterozygous. The diagnostic yield of WES for DD/ID was 48.8 % and was significantly high in patients with an early onset of DD/ID and facial dysmorphism. In contrast, patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were more likely to have negative WES results compared with others without ASD. CONCLUSION: The diagnostic yield of WES was 48.8 %. We conclude that patients' characteristics, such as dysmorphic features and the age of symptom onset, can predict the likelihood that WES will identify a causal variant of a phenotype.
RESUMO
Most triblock copolymer-based physical hydrogels form three-dimensional networks through micellar packing, and formation of polymer loops represents a topological defect that diminishes hydrogel elasticity. This effect can be mitigated by maximizing the fraction of elastically effective bridges in the hydrogel network. Herein, we report hydrogels constructed by complexing oppositely charged multiblock copolymers designed with a sequence pattern that maximizes the entropic and enthalpic penalty of micellization. These copolymers self-assemble into branched and bridge-rich network units (netmers), instead of forming sparsely interlinked micelles. We find that the storage modulus of the netmer-based hydrogel is 11.5 times higher than that of the micelle-based hydrogel. Complementary coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations reveal that in the netmer-based hydrogels, the numbers of charge-complexed nodes and mechanically reinforcing bridges increase substantially relative to micelle-based hydrogels.
RESUMO
Five solution processable isoindigo-based donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) small molecules with different electron donating strengths have been designed and synthesized. The variation in the electron donating strength of the donor group strongly affected the optical, thermal, electrochemical and photovoltaic device performances of the isoindigo organic materials. The highest power conversion efficiency of ~3.2% was achieved in the bulk heterojunction photovoltaic device consisting of ID3T as the donor and PC70BM as the acceptor. This work demonstrates the potential of isoindigo moieties as electron-deficient units and presents guidelines for the synthesis of D-A-D small molecules for producing highly efficient, solution-processed organic photovoltaic devices.
RESUMO
The effect of surface characteristics of dielectric layers on the molecular orientation and device performance of sprayed organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) obtained by a novel solvent-assisted post-treatment, called the solvent-sprayed overlayer (SSO) method, were investigated. The OFETs were fabricated by the spray method using regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (RR-P3HT) as an active material. The SSO treatment was applied on the as-sprayed active layers to arrange the molecular ordering. Bare thin SiO(2) layers and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)-treated SiO(2) (OTS-SiO(2)) were employed as the dielectric materials. The resulting chain orientation, crystallinity, and device performance were correlated as a function of SSO treatment and dielectric layers. The intrinsic limitation of spray methods for polymer film formation was overcome regardless of the type of dielectric layer using the SSO treatment. The orientation direction of RR-P3HT was controlled by SSO treatment to an edge-on dominant orientation that is preferential for charge transport, regardless of the type of dielectric layer. The crystal growth was further enhanced on the OTS-SiO(2) layers because of the reduced nucleation sites. These effects were successfully reflected in the device performance, including an orders-of-magnitude increase in charge mobility. The SSO method is a powerful external treatment method for reorienting the molecular ordering of solidified active films of OFETs to the preferential edge-on packing. The growth of crystals was further optimized by controlling the surface characteristics of the dielectric layers. The purpose of this study was to find the full capabilities of the SSO treatment method that will facilitate the development of high-throughput, large-area organic electronic device manufacturing.
RESUMO
In order to overcome the difficulty of dispersion and low conductivity in composite containing graphene, graphene oxide (GO) has been used instead of neat graphene. And the GO treated by radiation, could give improved conductivity of the GO-containing polymer composite. In this study, fluorene based water-soluble conjugated polymer (WPF-6-oxy-F) was introduced in GO solution to investigate the change of optical and electrical properties through radiation process. UV-Vis absorption of irradiated WPF-6-oxy-F-GO composite was red shifted and I(D)/I(G) ratio of Raman spectra decreased. XPS analysis showed that C-N bonds was formed after the irradiation and confirmed the increased bonds between the GO and the water-soluble conjugated polymer matrix. From the AFM and XPS analysis, it was found that the water-soluble conjugated polymer matrix was stacked between the modified GO in the morphology of irradiated WPF-6-oxy-F-GO composite was increased after gamma ray irradiation up to 10(-2) S/cm.
