    Abstract Quantum dots (QDs) have attracted a lot of attention over the past decades due to their sharp emission spectrum and color, which can be tuned by changing just the particle size and chromophoric stability. All these advantages of QDs make quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) promising candidates for display and light-source applications. This paper demonstrates a large-emitting-area QLED fabricated by a full-solution process. This QLED is composed of indium tin oxide (ITO) as the anode, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) as the hole injection layer (HIL), and poly(

    Abstract The inkjet printing method is a promising method to deposit polymer and functional nanoparticles at the microscale. It can be applied in the fabrication of multicolor polymer light emitting diodes (polyLEDs), polymer base electronics, multicolor color conversion layers, and quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs). One of the main challenges is to print high-resolution polymer dots from dilute polymer solution. In addition, the quality of printed multicolor polyLEDs, QLEDs and multicolor color conversion layers is currently limited by non-uniformity of the printed dots. In this paper, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is selected as the functional polymer, due to its high transparency, good reflective index value, inflammable and flexible properties. The optimal ink to form a uniform PDMS dot array is presented in this paper. Both the solvent and PDMS were tuned to form the uniform PDMS dot array. The uniform PDMS dot array was printed with a diameter of around 50 µm, and the array of closely spaced green quantum dots (QDs) mixed with PDMS ink was also printed on the substrate uniformly. While the green QD-PDMS film was printed at a resolution of 1693 dpi, the uniformity was evaluated using the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum and color coordinate value.

    Abstract Both weight gain and weight loss in type 2 diabetic population were associated with increased risk of hip fracture, while maintaining weight lowered the risk of hip fracture. Regarding the risk of hip fracture, we can propose active monitoring to maintain the weight of type 2 diabetes patients.
    Introduction: In type 2 diabetes, patients are often asked to control their weight in order to reduce their diabetic morbidity. The American Diabetes Association recommends that diabetic patients conduct high-intensity interventions for regulating diet, physical activity, and behavior to reduce weight, followed by long-term comprehensive weight maintenance programs. Although such weight control attempts are required in diabetic patients, there are few studies on the effect of weight change on hip fracture in this population. We aim to investigate the association between body weight change and the incidence of hip fracture in subjects with type 2 diabetes using large-scale, nationwide cohort data on the Korean population.
    Materials and methods: A total of 1,447,579 subjects (894,204 men and 553,375 women) > 40 years of age, who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, were enrolled in this study. Weight change within 2 years was divided into five categories: from weight loss ≥ 10% to weight gain ≥ 10%. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for the incidence of hip fracture were analyzed, compared with the reference of the stable weight group (weight change < 5%).
    Results: Among 5 weight change groups, more than 10% weight loss showed the highest HR (HR, 1.605; 95% CI, 1.493 to 1.725), followed by more than 10% weight gain (HR, 1.457; 95% CI, 1.318 to 1.612). The effect of weight change on hip fracture risk was greater in males than in females, and those under 65 years of age were greater than those over 65 years of age. Baseline BMI did not play a role of weight change affecting the risk of hip fracture. The HR for hip fracture of subjects with regular exercise was lower than those without regular exercise.
    Conclusions: In the type 2 diabetes population, both weight gain and weight loss were significantly associated with a higher risk of hip fracture, whereas maintaining body weight reduced the risk of hip fracture the most.

    Abstract Pneumonia is primarily a disease that is usually managed medically with antibiotics. However, in rare cases it may progress to necrotising pneumonia, which is an uncommon but severe complication of bacterial pneumonia. This case illustrates a typical case of necrotising pneumonia complicated with parenchymal and pleural complication such as empyema, pneumothorax with possible bronchopleural fistula. Early consultation with thoracic surgeon can be life-saving.

    Abstract Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a member of the family Coronaviridae, together with viruses such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (the causative agent of the COVID-19 global pandemic). In this family of viruses, interspecies transmission has been reported, so understanding their pathobiology could lead to a better understanding of the emergence of new serotypes. IBV possesses a single-stranded, non-segmented RNA genome about 27.6 kb in length that encodes several non-structural and structural proteins. Most functions of these proteins have been confirmed in IBV, but some other proposed functions have been based on research conducted on other members of the family Coronaviridae. IBV has variable tissue tropism depending on the strain, and can affect the respiratory, reproductive, or urinary tracts; however, IBV can also replicate in other organs. Additionally, the pathogenicity of IBV is also variable, with some strains causing only mild clinical signs, while infection with others results in high mortality rates in chickens. This paper extensively and comprehensibly reviews general aspects of coronaviruses and, more specifically, IBV, with emphasis on protein functions and pathogenesis. The pathogenicity of the Australian strains of IBV is also reviewed, describing the variability between the different groups of strains, from the classical to the novel and recombinant strains. Reverse genetic systems, cloning and cell culture growth techniques applicable to IBV are also reviewed.

    Abstract Objective: Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor of cerebrovascular disease (CVD). However, the relationship between CVD and cholesterol variability is less clear. This study assesses the relationship between cholesterol change and CVD risk.
    Patients and methods: We reviewed 480,830 people from 20 to 99 years with 2 health check-ups from 2002 to 2015 from the Korean National Health Insurance (KNHI) database. People's baseline and follow-up cholesterol levels were classified into low (<180 mg/dL), moderate (≥180 mg/dL and <240 mg/dL), and high (≥240 mg/dL). Participants were divided into 9 groups (low-to-low, low-to-moderate, low-to-high, moderate-to-low, moderate-to-moderate, moderate-to-high, high-to-low, high-to-moderate, high-to-high).
    Results: Low to high cholesterol level is associated with hemorrhagic stroke (aHR1 = 1.59; 95% CI 1.12-2.28 and aHR2 = 1.56; 95% CI 1.07-2.25). Low to moderate/high cholesterol level is associated with ischemic stroke and occlusion/stenosis (for low to moderate, aHR1 = 1.11; 95% CI 1.04-1.17 and aHR2 = 1.14; 95% CI 1.07-1.21 for ischemic stroke and aHR1 = 1.18; 95% CI 1.07-1.29 and aHR2 = 1.20; 95% CI 1.08-1.32 for occlusion/stenosis, for low to high, aHR1 = 1.42; 95% CI 1.20-1.67 and aHR2 = 1.28; 95% CI 1.08-1.52 for ischemic stroke and aHR1 = 1.86; 95% CI 1.46-2.36 and aHR2= 1.74; 95% CI 1.36-2.23 for occlusion/stenosis). Moderate to high cholesterol level is associated with ischemic stroke and occlusion/stenosis (for ischemic stroke, aHR1 = 1.12; 95% CI 1.05-1.20 and aHR2 = 1.10; 95% CI 1.03-1.17, for occlusion/stenosis, aHR1 = 1.21; 95% CI 1.10-1.33 and aHR2 = 1.19; 95% CI 1.08-1.32). Moderate to low cholesterol level is associated with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and occlusion/stenosis (for ischemic, aHR1 = 1.15; 95% CI 1.09-1.21, for hemorrhagic, aHR1 = 1.14; 95% CI 1.01-1.28, for occlusion/stenosis, aHR1 = 1.14; 95% CI 1.05-1.23). High to low cholesterol level is associated with ischemic stroke and occlusion/stenosis (for ischemic stroke, aHR1 = 1.51; 95% CI 1.33-1.71 and aHR2 = 1.20; 95% CI 1.05-1.36, for occlusion/stenosis, aHR1 = 1.50; 95% CI 1.24-1.81).
    Conclusions: Our study shows that cholesterol changes, especially larger changes, lead to an increase in CVD, which demonstrates that cholesterol variability may increase CVD.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption to elective orthopaedic services. The primary objective of this study was to examine changes in functional scores in patients awaiting total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Secondary objectives were to investigate differences between these groups and identify those in a health state 'worse than death' (WTD). In this prospective cohort study, preoperative Oxford hip and knee scores (OHS/OKS) were recorded for patients added to a waiting list for THA, TKA, or UKA, during the initial eight months of the COVID-19 pandemic, and repeated at 14 months into the pandemic (mean interval nine months (SD 2.84)). EuroQoL five-dimension five-level health questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) index scores were also calculated at this point in time, with a negative score representing a state WTD. OHS/OKS were analyzed over time and in relation to the EQ-5D-5L. A total of 174 patients (58 THA, 74 TKA, 42 UKA) were eligible, after 27 were excluded (one died, seven underwent surgery, 19 non-responders). The overall mean OHS/OKS deteriorated from 15.43 (SD 6.92), when patients were added to the waiting list, to 11.77 (SD 6.45) during the pandemic (p < 0.001). There were significantly worse EQ-5D-5L index scores in the THA group (p = 0.005), with 22 of these patients (38%) in a health state WTD, than either the TKA group (20 patients; 27% WTD), or the UKA group (nine patients; 21% WTD). A strong positive correlation between the EQ-5D-5L index score and OHS/OKS was observed (
