    Abstract: A series of [Formula: see text] (wt) N-TiO 2- δ /g-C 3 N 4 composites was synthesized by calcination and hydrothermal methods (labeled [Formula: see text]TiCN, [Formula: see text] : 5, 10, and 15). All composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of these composites was evaluated through oxytetracycline hydrochloride (denoted as OTC) photodegradation and CO 2 photoreduction. The [Formula: see text]TiCN composites exhibited higher OTC photodegradation than bulk g-C 3 N 4 . 10TiCN was slightly more active than 5TiCN and 15TiCN, with a photodegradation yield of 97% after 5 h of light irradiation and constant rate of 0.647 h -1 . For CO 2 photoreduction, it was observed that 5TiCN exhibited the highest activity among the synthesized composites, with 7.0 ppm CH 4 formed. This CH 4 concentration was 7.8 times higher than the concentration formed by bulk g-C 3 N 4 (0.9 ppm). A [Formula: see text] -scheme mechanism was proposed to explain the enhanced photocatalysis by [Formula: see text] (wt) N-TiO 2- δ /g-C 3 N 4 composites. The [Formula: see text]-scheme structure increased redox ability, caused better separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and broadened the light absorption zone of the photocatalysts.

    In: Clinical Medicine Insights: Endocrinology and Diabetes, SAGE Publications, Vol. 15 ( 2022-01), p. 117955142210984-
    Abstract: In pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), insulin resistance (IR) increases the risk of developing manifest type 2 diabetes mellitus and is associated with complications in both mother and fetus. Objectives: This research aimed to evaluate the associations between IR evaluated by 3 indices (namely updated homeostasis model assessment model (HOMA2), QUICKI, and McAuley’s index) and the diabetes risk factors and the fetal growth indices in Vietnamese women with GDM. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 370 women with GDM and 40 healthy pregnant women from January 2015 to May 2019. IR was calculated by HOMA2 (HOMA2-IR), QUICKI, and McAuley’s index. Fetal anthropometric measurements were assessed via ultrasound which was performed and interpreted by ultrasound experts. Results: In the simple regression analysis, McAuley’s index illustrated had statistically significant correlations to the highest number of risk factors of diabetes mellitus compared with HOMA2-IR and QUICKI indices. Moreover, McAuley’s index correlated statistically significantly to the highest number of fetal ultrasound measurements factors such as including biparietal diameter (BPD) ( r = −0.271, P  〈  .001), head circumference (HC) ( r = −0.225, P  〈  .001), abdominal circumference (AC) ( r = −0.214, P  〈  .001), femur length (FL) ( r = −0.231, P  〈  .001), estimated fetal weight (EFW) ( r = −0.239, P  〈  .001) and fetal estimated age ( r = −0.299, P  〈  .001). In the multivariable analysis, the McAuley’s index contributed the greatest to AC (Standardized B of −0.656, P  〈  .001). Conclusion: The McAuley’s index was significantly associated with a higher number of more risk factors for diabetes mellitus as well as fetal ultrasound sonography findings measurements than compared with HOMA2-IR and QUICKI indices.

    In: American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease & Other Dementiasr, SAGE Publications, Vol. 33, No. 7 ( 2018-11), p. 423-432
    Abstract: This study examined the use of potentially inappropriate medicines that may affect cognition (PIMcog) in people with dementia and its associated factors. Medical records of all outpatients with dementia attending a tertiary hospital in Vietnam between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2016, were examined. Medicine use was assessed against a list of PIMcog. Variables associated with having a PIMcog were assessed using a multiple logistic regression. Of the 128 patients, 41% used a PIMcog, 39.1% used cholinesterase inhibitors (CEIs) concomitantly with anticholinergics, and 18% used antipsychotics. The number of hospital visits (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI] : 1.02-1.16) and number of treating specialists (adjusted OR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.45-0.83) were associated with PIMcog use. This study highlights a high-level use of medicines that can further impair cognition or reduce the effectiveness of CEIs in people with dementia. Efforts to improve quality use of medicines for this population are warranted.

    In: SAGE Open, SAGE Publications, Vol. 12, No. 3 ( 2022-07), p. 215824402211215-
    Abstract: One of the approaches to assessing the organizational culture is to understand its effect on management functions, including the quality of accounting information systems. However, empirical studies about the influences of organizational culture on accounting information system quality, especially in the context of emerging countries like Vietnam, where accounting information is not reliable enough for decision making, have not yet provided enough evidence to confirm this relationship. This paper aims to investigate the effect of innovative organizational culture on the quality of accounting information systems by using the Structural Equation Model. A questionnaire was sent to the CEO, CFO, managers, and accounting staff of non-financial enterprises in Vietnam. With 649 valid respondents, the two-step approach was carried out, including exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis and examining the significance of the coefficient through a path analysis. Our findings identified that organizational culture is an essential factor in enhancing the quality of accounting information systems of Vietnamese firms. Implementing an innovative corporate culture will improve system quality and information quality of the accounting information systems that help accounting information more sufficient for making decisions.

    In: Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, SAGE Publications, Vol. 13, No. 5 ( 2018-09), p. 332-337
    Abstract: The Ozaki procedure for aortic valve reconstruction was reported in 2014 with low mortality, a highly reproducible rate and a good midterm result. However, the procedure still requires conventional sternotomy to be accomplished. The aim of the study was to start an initial evaluation for the feasibility of the minimally invasive approach in combination with the Ozaki technique. Methods From January 06, 2017, to January 12, 2017, nine patients with severe aortic valve diseases underwent minimally invasive Ozaki procedure through an upper ministernotomy. The pericardium was harvested endoscopically using three trocars in different intercostal spaces. Then, a ministernotomy was performed and the Ozaki procedure was accomplished in a similar manner to the conventional technique. We analyzed the in-hospital mortality and complications of this group. Results The mean age was 47.4 years and 55.6% patients were female. The predominant pathology was chronic rheumatic valve disease (66.7%) and other patients were diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve. The mean aortic cross-clamp time was 106.8 minutes, the mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 153.6 minutes, the mean ventilation time was 8.4 hours, and the mean intensive care unit time was 1.6 days. No mortality was recorded in our series, no conversion to full sternotomy was required, one patient experienced right hemothorax requiring drainage, and one patient required valve replacement. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography and predischarge transthoracic echocardiography showed five competent valves and three valves with trivial regurgitation, and no stenosis was detected. Conclusions Ministernotomy combined with Ozaki procedure might be feasible, as well as an alternative to conventional sternotomy. This approach is associated with low mortality and morbidity and may be beneficial in younger populations.

    Endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke beyond the 24-h time window: Selection by target mismatch profile
    SAGE Publications ; 2023
    In:  International Journal of Stroke
    Details
    In: International Journal of Stroke, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: Endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) has been established as a promising clinical intervention within a late time window of 6–24 h after symptom onset. Patients with slow progression, however, may still benefit from endovascular treatment beyond the 24-h time window (very late window). Aim: The aim of this study is to report insight into the potential clinical benefits of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke beyond 24 h from symptom onset. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on consecutive patients undergoing endovascular treatment for acute anterior circulation LVO ischemic stroke beyond 24 h. Participants were recruited between July 2019 and November 2020. Patients were selected based on the DAWN/DEFUSE 3 criteria (Perfusion-RAPID, iSchemaView) and patients receiving treatment beyond 24 h were compared to a group of patients receiving endovascular treatment between 6 and 24 h after symptom onset. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with functional independence at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2). The secondary outcomes were shift modified Rankin Scale (mRS) analysis and successful reperfusion was defined by thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 2b-3 on the final procedure. Safety outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and death at the 90-day follow-up. Propensity score (PS)-matched analyses were employed to rectify the imbalanced baseline characteristics between the two groups. Results: A total of 166 patients were recruited with a median age of 63.0 (56.0–69.0) and 28.9% of all patients were females. Patients in the beyond 24-h group had a longer onset-to-groin time (median = 27.2 vs 14.3 h, p  〈  0.001) than those in the 6- to 24-h group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (median = 12.0 vs 15.0, p = 0.37), perfusion imaging characteristics (core: median = 11.0 vs 9.0 mL, p = 0.86; mismatch volume: median = 106.0 vs 96.0, p = 0.44; mismatch ratio = 6.46 vs 7.24, p = 0.91), and perfusion-to-groin time (median = 72.5 vs 76.0 min, p = 0.77). No significant differences were noted among patients between the two groups in the primary endpoint functional independence analysis (50.0% vs 46.6%, p = 0.77) and in the safety endpoint analysis: mortality (15.0% vs 11.0%, p = 0.71) or symptomatic hemorrhage (0% vs 3.42%, p  〉  0.999). In PS-matched analyses, there were no significant differences among patients between the two groups in functional independence (50.0% vs 54.8%, p = 0.74), mortality (16.7% vs 9.68%, p = 0.50), or symptomatic hemorrhage (0% vs 6.45%, p = 0.53). Conclusion: Endovascular treatment can be performed safely and effectively in LVO patients beyond 24 h from symptom onset when selected by target mismatch profile. The clinical outcome of these patients was comparable to those treated in the 6- to 24-h window. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

    Abstract: Proteoglycan (PG) is a type of glycoprotein which forms an extracellular matrix with collagen and hyaluronic acid to maintain articular cartilage, synovial membrane, and synovial fluid. This study aimed to evaluate the antiosteoarthritis effects of salmon nasal cartilage-derived PG in alleviating knee osteoarthritis in an osteoarthritis rat model. Knee osteoarthritis was induced in rats by intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA), 3 mg/knee, to the right knee. Animals were then administered either diclofenac (3 mg/kg body weight [b.w]/day) or proteoglycan F (PGF; 40 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg b.w/day) by oral gavage for 6 consecutive weeks. Knee diameters were measured throughout the experimental period; serum interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels, and histological analysis of the ligament were carried out at the end of the experiment. Salmon cartilage PG considerably alleviated the osteoarthritis symptoms in the model and lowered the serum concentrations of interleukin-1β and TNF-α. Diclofenac 3 mg/kg/day and PGF at doses of 40 mg/kg/day and 120 mg/kg/day also improved articular cartilage structure on further histological studies. This study demonstrated the in vivo effect of salmon cartilage PG in attenuating symptoms in an MIA-induced rat model, including reduction of inflammatory markers and histological improvement of cartilage tissue.

    Abstract: The efficacy of Truong Xuan Cao Bang (TXCB), a Vietnamese herbal medicine prescription, on the quality of semen, serum testosterone (TES), and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in rabbits whose reproductive ability were impaired by fluconazole was investigated. Mature male rabbits were randomly assigned into control (G1), fluconazole (G2), fluconazole and 180 mg/kg/day (G3), and 360 mg/kg/day TXCB (G4) groups. The reaction time (RT), ejaculate volume (EV), sperm concentration (SC), total sperm output (TSO), total sperm motility (TSM), progressive sperm motility (PSM), nonprogressive sperm motility (NPSM), sperm immobility (SIM), dead sperm (DS), and abnormal sperm (AS) levels were determined after TXCB administration. After 60 days, G3 showed a significant increase in serum TES and a significant decrease in the concentrations of serum MDA (SMDA) and seminal plasma MDA (SPMDA) compared with G1, in addition to increase in EV, SC, TSO, TSM, PSM, and serum TES, and decrease in RT, SIM, DS, AS, SMDA, and SPMDA compared with G2. G4 showed a steep rise in EV, SC, and serum TES and a downturn in DS, SMDA, and SPMDA compared with G1, and, compared with G2, a significant increase in EV, SC, TSO, TSM, PSM, and serum TES and a significant decrease in RT, SIM, DS, AS, SMDA, and SPMDA. Taken together, TXCB rehabilitates and simultaneously enhances spermatogenesis in rabbits whose reproductive ability was impaired by fluconazole.
