RESUMO

Hazardous chemical vehicles are specialized vehicles used for transporting flammable gases, medical waste, and liquid chemicals, among other dangerous chemical substances. During their transportation, there are risks of fire, explosion, and leakage of hazardous materials, posing serious threats to human safety and the environment. To mitigate these possible hazards and decrease their probability, this study proposes a lightweight object detection method for hazardous chemical vehicles based on the YOLOv7-tiny model.The method first introduces a lightweight feature extraction structure, E-GhostV2 network, into the trunk and neck of the model to achieve effective feature extraction while reducing the burden of the model. Additionally, the PConv is used in the model's backbone to effectively reduce redundant computations and memory access, thereby enhancing efficiency and feature extraction capabilities. Furthermore, to address the problem of performance degradation caused by overemphasizing high-quality samples, the model adopts the WIoU loss function, which balances the training effect of high-quality and low-quality samples, enhancing the model's robustness and generalization performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved model achieves satisfactory detection accuracy while reducing the number of model parameters, providing robust support for theoretical research and practical applications in the field of hazardous chemical vehicle object detection.

RESUMO

Colorectal polyp is an important early manifestation of colorectal cancer, which is significant for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Despite timely detection and manual intervention of colorectal polyps can reduce their chances of becoming cancerous, most existing methods ignore the uncertainties and location problems of polyps, causing a degradation in detection performance. To address these problems, in this paper, we propose a novel colorectal image analysis method for polyp diagnosis via PAM-Net. Specifically, a parallel attention module is designed to enhance the analysis of colorectal polyp images for improving the certainties of polyps. In addition, our method introduces the GWD loss to enhance the accuracy of polyp diagnosis from the perspective of polyp location. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with the SOTA baselines. This study enhances the performance of polyp detection accuracy and contributes to polyp detection in clinical medicine.

RESUMO

In this paper, the first-principle calculations of the lateral heterojunction model synthesized by hBN-Graphene were carried out, and it was found that the bandgap of graphene varied with the change in the proportion of hBN, and the bandgap was best regulated with a bandgap of 1.177 eV when the proportion of hBN was 66.67 %. At this time, the adsorption structures of HCN, CO, NH3, and Cl2 were established and energy band calculations were performed on the hBN and Graphene portions of the hBN-Graphene lateral heterojunctions, respectively, and it was found that the adsorption of Cl2 resulted in a significant change in the band gap, which showed a very high electrical sensitivity. To further investigate the adsorption mechanism of Cl2 on the surface of hBN-Graphene lateral heterojunction, the energy band structure, PDOS, charge transfer, adsorption energy, and recovery time of each stabilized adsorption site of Cl2 on the surface of hBN-Graphene lateral heterojunction were calculated. The results show that the adsorption of Cl2 on the surface of hBN-Graphene lateral heterojunction is a stable chemisorption, and the band gap of C-Top1 increases to 1.274 eV, and the band gaps of C-Top3, N-Top1, and N-Top2 decrease to 0.684 eV, 0.376 eV, and 0.398 eV, respectively, and the changes of band gaps are significant and easy to be electrically detection. The recovery time of Cl2 on the surface of hBN-Graphene lateral heterojunction was 7.36 s-2.59 s in visible light and in the temperature interval of 273 K-283 K. The recovery time of Cl2 on the surface of hBN-Graphene lateral heterojunction was 7.36 s-2.59 s in visible light and in the temperature interval of 273 K-283 K. These findings have implications for the research and application of graphene-based Cl2 gas sensors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In China, lung cancer remains the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rate. Among early-stage lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD), the micropapillary (MPP) component is prevalent and typically exhibits high aggressiveness, significantly correlating with early metastasis, lymphatic infiltration, and reduced five-year survival rates. Therefore, the study is to explore the similarities and differences between MPP and non-micropapillary (non-MPP) components in malignant pulmonary nodules characterized by GGOs in early-stage LUAD, identify unique mutational features of the MPP component and analyze the relationship between the ZNF469 gene, a member of the zinc-finger protein family, and the prognosis of early-stage LUAD, as well as its correlation with immune infiltration. METHODS: A total of 31 malignant pulmonary nodules of LUAD were collected and dissected into paired MPP and non-MPP components using microdissection. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the components of early-stage malignant pulmonary nodules. Mutational signatures analysis was conducted using R packages such as maftools, Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF), and Sigminer to unveil the genomic mutational characteristics unique to MPP components in invasive LUAD compared to other tumor tissues. Furthermore, we explored the expression of the ZNF469 gene in LUAD using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to investigate its potential association with the prognosis. We also investigated gene interaction networks and signaling pathways related to ZNF469 in LUAD using the GeneMANIA database and conducted Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. Lastly, we analyzed the correlation between ZNF469 gene expression and levels of immune cell infiltration in LUAD using the TIMER and TISIDB databases. RESULTS: MPP components exhibited a higher number of genomic variations, particularly the 13th COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer) mutational signature characterized by the activity of the cytidine deaminase APOBEC family, which was unique to MPP components compared to non-MPP components in tumor tissues. This suggests the potential involvement of APOBEC in the progression of MPP components in early-stage LUAD. Additionally, MPP samples with high similarity to APOBEC signature displayed a higher tumor mutational burden (TMB), indicating that these patients may be more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. The expression of ZNF469 was significantly upregulated in LUAD compared to normal tissue, and was associated with poor prognosis in LUAD patients (P<0.05). Gene interaction network analysis and GO/KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that COL6A1, COL1A1, COL1A2, TGFB2, MMP2, COL8A2 and C2CD4C interacted with ZNF469 and were mainly involved in encoding collagen proteins and participating in the constitution of extracellular matrix. ZNF469 expression was positively correlated with immune cell infiltration in LUAD (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The study has unveiled distinctive mutational signatures in the MPP components of early-stage invasive LUAD in the Asian population. Furthermore, we have identified that the elevated expression of mutated ZNF469 impacts the prognosis and immune infiltration in LUAD, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in LUAD.

RESUMO

The circular economy is essential as it encourages the reuse and recycling of resources while reducing waste, which ultimately helps to reduce environmental pollution and boosts economic efficiency. The current review highlights the management of agricultural and livestock residues and their conversion into valuable resources to combat environmental degradation and improve social well-being. The current trends in converting agricultural residues into useful resources emphasize the social benefits of waste management and conversion. It also emphasizes how waste conversion can reduce environmental degradation and enhance food security. Using agricultural residues can increase soil health and agricultural output while reducing pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource depletion. Promoting sustainable waste-to-resource conversion processes requires a combination of strategies that address technical, economic, social, and environmental aspects. These multiple strategies are highlighted along with prospects and considerations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a distinctive tumor composed of spindle cells accompanied by mixed inflammatory cells, and immunohistochemical positivity for ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase protein) can be detected in half of IMTs. The diagnosis of ALK-negative IMT could be a challenge. Recently, the fusions of some kinase genes, such as RET, NTRK1, ROS1, etc., are revealed in ALK-negative IMT. CASE PRESENTATION: A 19-year-old woman presented with swelling of the left upper arm. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed a tumor in the left postbrachium extended to the left axillary, serratus anterior muscle, and latissimus dorsi muscle. Histopathologically, the irregular-circumscribed tumor was composed of dense spindle-shaped cells with eosinophilic abundant cytoplasm and hyalinized mesenchyme in an inflammatory background. Immunohistochemically (IHC), tumor cells were positive for SMA, MDM2, and p16; the cells were negative for desmin, MyoD1, Myogenin, pan-cytokeratin, S100, SOX10, HMB45, Malen-A, CD34, CD31, CD99, and ALK. By RNA-based NGS, a novel fusion between TPD52L2 3' end of exon 1-4 and ROS1 5' end of exon 36-43 was revealed. ROS1 IHC staining was negative. The final diagnosis of IMT with TPD52L2-ROS1 fusion was made. Subsequently, the patient experienced a good clinical response to Crizotinib, and clinical follow-up showed stable disease after 9 months. CONCLUSION: This report expands the spectrum of ROS1 gene rearrangements in the IMT and highlights the importance of molecular analysis of IMT for getting a diagnostic clue and determining potential therapeutic strategies.

RESUMO

The electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a crucial role in renewable clean energy conversion technologies and has developed into an important direction in the field of advanced energy, becoming the focus of basic research and industrial development. Herein, we report the synthesis and application of flower-like nickel-coated Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles decorated on a graphene electrocatalyst for the OER that exhibit high efficiency and robust durability. The catalysts were optimized using a rotating ring-disk electrode to test their oxygen evolution properties in 1.0 M KOH solution. Importantly, owing to the high specific surface area and conductivity of C3N4 and graphene, the as-synthesized Fe3O4@SiO2@NiO/graphene/C3N4 exhibits a small Tafel slope of 40.46 mV dec-1, low overpotential of 288 mV at 10 mA cm-2, and robust OER durability within a prolonged test period of 100 h. The cytotoxicity of Fe3O4@SiO2, Fe3O4@SiO2@NiO, and Fe3O4@SiO2@NiO/graphene/C3N4 was evaluated in HeLa and MC3T3-E1 cells, demonstrating that they are efficient and biocompatible catalysts for the OER. Owing to its excellent electrocatalytic efficiency and eco-friendliness, Fe3O4@SiO2@NiO/graphene/C3N4 has considerable potential as a new multifunctional composite for large-scale applications in catalysis, biology, medicine, and high-efficiency hydrogen production.

RESUMO

Crosstalk is the primary source of noise in quantum computing equipment. The parallel execution of multiple instructions in quantum computation causes crosstalk, which causes coupling between signal lines and mutual inductance and capacitance between signal lines, destroying the quantum state and causing the program to fail to execute correctly. Overcoming crosstalk is a critical prerequisite for quantum error correction and large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing. This paper provides an approach for suppressing crosstalk in quantum computers based on multiple instruction exchange rules and duration. Firstly, for the majority of the quantum gates that can be executed on quantum computing devices, a multiple instruction exchange rule is proposed. The multiple instruction exchange rule reorders quantum gates in quantum circuits and separates double quantum gates with high crosstalk on quantum circuits. Then, time stakes are inserted based on the duration of different quantum gates, and quantum gates with high crosstalk are carefully separated in the process of quantum circuit execution by quantum computing equipment to reduce the influence of crosstalk on circuit fidelity. Several benchmark experiments verify the proposed method's effectiveness. In comparison to previous techniques, the proposed method improves fidelity by 15.97% on average.

RESUMO

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals are fundamental for spectroscopy applications. However, existing substrates cannot perform a dynamically enhanced modulation of SERS signals. Herein, we developed a magnetically photonic chain-loading system (MPCLS) substrate by loading magnetically photonic nanochains of Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with Au nanoparticles (NPs). We achieved a dynamically enhanced modulation by applying an external stepwise magnetic field to the randomly dispersed magnetic photonic nanochains that gradually align in the analyte solution. The closely aligned nanochains create a higher number of hot spots by new neighboring Au NPs. Each chain represents a single SERS enhancement unit with both a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and photonic property. The magnetic responsivity of MPCLS enables a rapid signal enhancement and tuning of the SERS enhancement factor.

RESUMO

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) is the main method for urinary calculi. An anesthesia method with little effect on the blood circulation and which does not affect the postoperative activity of a patient is lacking. Objective: To compare the effects of paravertebral nerve block (PNB) and epidural block (EPB) on quadriceps femoris muscle (QFM) strength in patients after PCNL. Methods: 163 patients were separated into two groups: EPB (81) and PNB (82). Primary outcome parameters were QFM strength and range of motion (RoM) of the knee 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 24 h after anesthesia induction (AI). Secondary outcome parameters were: time from AI beginning to first ambulation; time of sensory-plane recovery; amount of additional analgesics given during and after surgery; prevalence of nausea and vomiting; duration of hospital stay (DoHS); mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2) before, 0.5 h, and 1 h after AI; visual analog scale (VAS) score 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h and 24 h after AI. Results: There was no significant difference in QFM strength or knee RoM before or 24 h after AI between the two groups (P > 0.05). The time from AI to first ambulation was shorter (P < 0.05) and the sensory plane took longer to recover (P < 0.05) in the PNB group than in the EPB group. The amount of additional analgesics during surgery was more in the PNB group than in the EPB group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference after surgery (P > 0.05). VAS scores were higher in the PNB group than in the EPB group 0.5 after AI (P < 0.05). MAP 1 h after AI was higher in the PNB group than in the EPB group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, DoHS, HR, or SpO2 at 0.5 h and 1 h after AI between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: For patients undergoing PCNL, PNB can meet the need for surgical analgesia while having little effect on QFM strength.

RESUMO

Epidermal electronics offer an important platform for various on-skin applications including electrophysiological signals monitoring and human-machine interactions (HMI), due to their unique advantages of intrinsic softness and conformal interfaces with skin. The widely used nondegradable synthetic materials may produce massive electronic waste to the ecosystem and bring safety issues to human skin. However, biomaterials extracted from nature are promising to act as a substitute material for the construction of epidermal electronics, owing to their diverse characteristics of biocompatibility, biodegradability, sustainability, low cost and natural abundance. Therefore, the development of natural biomaterials holds great prospects for advancement of high-performance sustainable epidermal electronics. Here, we review the recent development on different types of biomaterials including proteins and polysaccharides for multifunctional epidermal electronics. Subsequently, the applications of biomaterials-based epidermal electronics in electrophysiological monitoring and HMI are discussed, respectively. Finally, the development situation and future prospects of biomaterials-based epidermal electronics are summarized. We expect that this review can provide some inspirations for the development of future, sustainable, biomaterials-based epidermal electronics.

RESUMO

Pulmonary vascular remodeling caused by the excessive proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is the hallmark feature of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Eukaryotic initiation factor 3 subunit A (EIF3A) exhibited proliferative activity in multiple cell types. The present study investigated the role of EIF3A in the progression of PAH. A monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH rat model was constructed, and adeno-associated virus type 1 (AAV1) carrying EIF3A shRNA was intratracheally delivered to PAH rats to block EIF3A expression. PASMCs were isolated from rats and treated with PDGF-BB to simulate PASMC proliferation, and shRNA for EIF3 was conducted to investigate the mechanism behind the role of EIF3A in PASMC function in vitro. EIF3A expression was upregulated in pulmonary arteries, and EIF3A inhibition effectively improved pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy and suppressed MCT-induced vascular remodeling in vivo. In addition, we found that genetic knockdown of EIF3A reduced PDGF-triggered proliferation and arrested cell cycle, accompanied by downregulated proliferation-related protein expression in PASMCs. Mechanistically, the histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1)-mediated PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway was recognized as a primary mechanism in PAH progression. Silencing EIF3A decreased HDAC1 expression, and further inhibited the excessive proliferation of PASMCs by increasing the phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN) expression and suppressing the AKT phosphorylation. Notably, HDAC1 expression reversed the effect of silencing EIF3A on PAH and PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway. Collectively, silencing EIF3A improved PAH by decreasing PASMC proliferation through the HDAC1-mediated PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway. These findings suggest that targeting EIF3A may represent a potential approach for the treatment of PAH.

RESUMO

The combination of plasmonic metals and photonic crystal (PC) structure is considered to have potential for further enhancement of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect in comparison with conventional metal SERS substrates. Many studies have suggested that SERS signals probably suffer from an often-neglected effect of strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-induced photothermal heating during SERS detection. Herein, we have discovered that the photothermal heating problem arises in a traditional hybrid substrate that is prepared by doping plasmonic Au nanoparticles (NPs) into the voids of an opal PC (Au-PC). This happens mainly because excess Au agglomerates formed by non-uniformly distributed Au NPs can cause a strong SPR effect under laser illumination. To fully address this issue, we have employed an improved hybrid substrate that is fabricated by substituting Au NPs in Au-PC with an Au-loaded magnetic framework (AuMF). The AuMF can effectively prevent the aggregation of Au NPs and ensure sufficient hot spots for SERS. This novel substrate prepared by doping AuMFs into a PC (AuMF-PC) was free of strong photothermal heating and showed high SERS intensity and reproducibility of the SERS signal compared with Au-PC. For practical applications, we have demonstrated AuMF-PC as an appropriate candidate for the SERS assay of the trace thiol pesticide thiram, and it enables recycling and reuse to achieve low cost.

RESUMO

Background: Tobacco alcoholization is an important step in increasing the quality of tobacco leaf, which may convert a portion of low-grade tobacco leaves into useable product, however this may take to 2-3 years. The addition of exogenous microorganisms to tobacco leaves and treating them by biological fermentation can shorten the maturation time of tobacco leaves, and improve the quality and applicability of low-grade tobacco leaves Methods: Several strains were screened from low-grade tobacco by flow cytometry, including the bacteria Bacillus amyloliticus, with starch degradation ability and Bacillus kochii, with protein degradation ability, and the fungus Filobasidium magnum with lipid oxidase ability, and were inoculated onto tobacco leaves, both individually and in combination, for solid-state fermentation Results: The greatest improvement in tobacco quality was observed when strains 4# and 3# were applied at a ratio of 3:1. The Maillard reaction products, such as 2-amyl furan, 1-(2-furanmethyl) -1 h-pyrrole, furfural and 2, 5-dimethylpyrazine, were significantly increased, by up to more than 2 times. When strains F7# and 3# were mixed at a ratio of 3:1, the improvement of sensory evaluation index was better than that of pure cultures. The increase of 3-(3, 4-dihydro-2h-pyrro-5-yl) pyridine, ß -damasone and benzyl alcohol was more than 1 times. The increase of 2-amyl-furan was particularly significant, up to 20 times Conclusion: The functional strains screened from tobacco leaves were utilized for the biological fermentation of tobacco leaves, resulting in the reduction of irritation and an improvement in quality of final product, showing a good potential for application.

RESUMO

The presence of large amounts of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in livestock manures poses an impending, tough safety risk to ecosystems. To investigate more comprehensively the mechanisms of ARGs removal from industrial-scale composting of livestock manure based on biochar addition, we tracked the dynamics of bacterial community and ARGs at various stages of aerobic composting of livestock manures with 10% biochar. There were no significant effects of biochar on the bacterial community and the profiles of ARGs. During aerobic composting, the relative abundance of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) showed overall trends of decreasing and then increasing. The key factor driving the dynamics of ARGs was bacterial community composition, and the potential hosts of ARGs were Caldicoprobacter, Tepidimicrobium, Ignatzschineria, Pseudogracilibacillus, Actinomadura, Flavobacterium and Planifilum. The retention of the thermophilic bacteria and the repopulation of the initial bacteria were the dominant reasons for the increase in ARGs at maturation stage. Additionally, among the MGEs, the relative abundance of transposon gene was substantially removed, while the integron genes remained at high relative abundance. Our results highlighted that the suitability of biochar addition to industrial-scale aerobic composting needs to be further explored and that effective measures are needed to prevent the increase of ARGs content on maturation stage.

RESUMO

The unique mechanical properties of graphene make it an excellent candidate for resonators. We have used molecule dynamic to simulate the resonance process of graphene. The kirigami approach was introduced to improve the mass sensitivity of graphene sheets. Three geometric parameters governing the resonant frequency and mass sensitivity of Kirigami graphene NEMS were defined. The simulation results show that the closer the kirigami defect is to the center of the drum graphene, the higher the mass sensitivity of the graphene. The kirigami graphene shows up to about 2.2 times higher mass sensitivity compared to pristine graphene. Simultaneously, the kirigami graphene has a higher out-of-plane amplitude and easy access to nonlinear vibrations, leading to higher mass sensitivity. Besides, the kirigami structure can restrict the diffusion of gold atoms on graphene under high initial velocity or large tension condition. It is evident that a reasonable defect design can improve the sensitivity and stability of graphene for adsorption mass.
