    Abstract The teacher self is a composite psychological construct which encompasses the cognitive, affective, emotional, and social dimensions of teaching. This qualitative study draws on Bakhtin's concepts of dialogism, answerability, and addressivity to discuss how English language teachers negotiated the shifting and conflictive context to construct selves in relation to the promoted communicative language teaching approach. Based on narrative interviews and classroom observations with five tertiary English teachers in China, we found that these teachers were actively engaged in the

    Abstract Single particle-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) was used in the analysis of single particles/cells. Although quadrupole mass analyzers are widely used, the long settling time restricts measurement to single elements in individual particles. Recently, dual-elemental analysis has successfully been developed with the assistance of oxygen gas in the collision cell. This simple approach greatly expands the capability of quadrupole-based ICP-MS. In this study, we adopted bandpass mode in the first quadrupole (Q1) to improve the limit of detection of single particles against spectral interference. A model was developed to explain the rationale behind the selection of quadrupole voltages. The quadrupole voltages were optimized systematically so that the mass bandwidth of Q1 allowed the transmission of two target analytes while the interference species were rejected. As a result, the signal from the polyatomic interference was reduced by 98% with no significant change in the analyte signal. The bandpass mode was further applied to accurately determine the isotope ratio of

    Abstract Objectives: We aimed to determine publication trends in leading clinical research journals (impact factor >20) during the rise of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to check for an increase in publication times of non-COVID-19 original research articles.
    Methods: We collected publication data from five print-based medical journals and one online journal--JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, The Lancet (Lancet), The New England Journal of Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine, The BMJ (BMJ), and BMC Medicine (BMC Med)--for the December 2019 through May 2020 period. We categorized each article as either "COVID-19-related" or "non-COVID-19-related". When available, we further extracted data on submission-to-acceptance dates and acceptance-to-publication dates for original research articles for the January through July 2019 and January through July 2020 periods. We compared the time from submission to publication for non-COVID-19 original research articles during the two periods and tested for statistical significance with a one-tailed Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
    Results: We found that non-COVID-19-related articles began decreasing in volume as COVID-19-related articles increased. In BMJ and Lancet, the COVID-19-related articles began overtaking the non-COVID-19-related articles in number during April and May 2020. However, COVID-19-related primary research articles only began consistently appearing in journal issues during May 2020. Only BMJ and BMC Med publicly recorded complete data regarding their publication timelines. After removing outliers, we found that the mean time from submission to publication for articles published in BMJ from January through July 2019 was 204 days (median: 194 days; IQR: 163-236), and from January through July 2020 was 223 days (median: 218 days; IQR: 177-261) (p=0.04). In BMC Med, the mean time from submission to publication from February through July 2019 was 153 days (median: 150 days; IQR: 123-181), and from February through July 2020 was 163 days (median: 157 days; IQR: 132-191) (p=0.06).  Conclusion: We discovered a steadily increasing trend in the percentage of COVID-19-related articles and a concomitant decreasing trend in the percentage of non-COVID-19-related articles published in high-impact print journals during the period from December 2019 through May 2020. For non-COVID-19-related articles published in BMJ, we found a statistically significant increase upon comparing the submission-to-publication times for the period from January through July 2020 with the submission-to-publication times for the period from January through July 2019.

    Abstract Background: Patient perceptions of primary care telephone and video telemedicine and whether COVID-19 pandemic-related telemedicine exposure shifted patients' visit preference is unknown.
    Objectives: We examined patient surveys to understand the health care experience of patients seeking primary care through telemedicine and how patients expected their preferences to shift as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Research design/subjects: In an integrated delivery system that shifted to a "telemedicine-first" health care model during the COVID-19 pandemic, we sampled monthly and collected 1000 surveys from adults with primary care telemedicine visits scheduled through the online patient portal between 3/16/2020 and 10/31/2020.
    Measures: Participants reported their preferred primary care visit modality (telephone, video, or in-person visits) across 3 time points: before, during and (hypothetically) after the COVID-19 pandemic, and reported their general assessment of primary care visits during the pandemic.
    Results: The majority of participants preferred in-person visits before (69%) and after the COVID-19 pandemic (57%). However, most participants reported a preference for telemedicine visits during the pandemic and continue to prefer telemedicine visits at a 12% higher rate post-pandemic. Many participants (63%) expressed interest in using telemedicine at least some of the time. Among participants reporting a recent telemedicine visit, 85% agreed that the visit addressed their health needs.
    Conclusion: As primary care visit modality preferences continue to evolve, patients anticipate that they will continue to prefer telemedicine visits, both video and telephone, at an increased rate than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract A large and growing body of research suggests that the skin plays an important role in regulating total body sodium, challenging traditional models of sodium homeostasis that focused exclusively on blood pressure and the kidney. In addition, skin sodium may help to prevent water loss and facilitate macrophage-driven antimicrobial host defence, but may also trigger immune dysregulation via upregulation of proinflammatory markers and downregulation of anti-inflammatory processes. We performed a systematic search of PubMed for published literature on skin sodium and disease outcomes and found that skin sodium concentration is increased in patients with cardiometabolic conditions including hypertension, diabetes and end-stage renal disease; autoimmune conditions including multiple sclerosis and systemic sclerosis; and dermatological conditions including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and lipoedema. Several patient characteristics are associated with increased skin sodium concentration including older age and male sex. Animal evidence suggests that increased salt intake results in higher skin sodium levels; however, there are conflicting results from small trials in humans. Additionally, limited data suggest that pharmaceuticals such as diuretics and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors approved for diabetes, as well as haemodialysis may reduce skin sodium levels. In summary, emerging research supports an important role for skin sodium in physiological processes related to osmoregulation and immunity. With the advent of new noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging measurement techniques and continued research on skin sodium, it may emerge as a marker of immune-mediated disease activity or a potential therapeutic target.

    Abstract Single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) is used for elemental analysis of single particles and biological cells. Time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzers are widely used for multiple element analysis of individual particles. Owing to the sequential nature of the mass analyzer, quadrupole-based ICP-MS generally gives poor analytical performance when more than one element are being monitored. In this study, we present the first accurate and precise dual-mass measurement of individual particles using quadrupole-based ICP-MS, with the assistance of oxygen collision gas.

    Abstract Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO₂ NPs) are widely used in various fields, leading to concern about their effect on human health. When conducting in vivo investigations of CeO₂ NPs, the challenge is to fractionate ionic Ce and CeO₂ NPs and to characterize CeO₂ NPs without changing their properties/state. To meet this challenge, we developed an integrated inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)-based analytical approach in which ultrafiltration is used to fractionate ionic and nanoparticulate Ce species while CeO₂ NPs are characterized by single particle-ICP-MS (sp-ICP-MS). We used this technique to compare the effects of two sample pretreatment methods, alkaline and enzymatic pretreatments, on ionic Ce and CeO₂ NPs. Results showed that enzymatic pretreatment was more efficient in extracting ionic Ce or CeO₂ NPs from animal tissues. Moreover, results further showed that the properties/states of all ionic and nanoparticulate Ce species were well preserved. The rates of recovery of both species were over 85%; the size distribution of CeO₂ NPs was comparable to that of original NPs. We then applied this analytical approach, including the enzymatic pretreatment and ICP-MS-based analytical techniques, to investigate the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of CeO₂ NPs in mice. It was found that the thymus acts as a “holding station” in CeO₂ NP translocation in vivo. CeO₂ NP biotransformation was reported to be organ-specific. This is the first study to evaluate the impact of enzymatic and alkaline pretreatment on Ce species, namely ionic Ce and CeO₂ NPs. This integrated ICP-MS-based analytical approach enables us to conduct in vivo biotransformation investigations of CeO₂ NPs.
