Pediatric brain tumors are often noted to be different from their adult counterparts in terms of molecular features. Primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSLs) are mostly found in elderly adults and are uncommon in children and teenagers. There has only been scanty information about the molecular features of PCNSLs at a young age. We examined PCNSLs in 34 young patients aged between 7 and 39 years for gene rearrangements of BCl2, BCL6, CCND1, IRF4, IGH, IGL, IGK, and MYC, homozygous deletions (HD) of CDKN2A, and HLA by FISH. Sequencing was performed using WES, panel target sequencing, or Sanger sequencing due to the small amount of available tissues. The median OS was 97.5 months and longer than that for older patients with PCNSLs. Overall, only 14 instances of gene rearrangement were found (5%), and patients with any gene rearrangement were significantly older (p = 0.029). CDKN2A HD was associated with a shorter OS (p < 0.001). Only 10/31 (32%) showed MYD88 mutations, which were not prognostically significant, and only three of them were L265P mutations. CARD11 mutations were found in 8/24 (33%) cases only. Immunophenotypically, the cases were predominantly GCB, in contrast to older adults (61%). In summary, we showed that molecular findings identified in the PCNSLs of the older patients were only sparingly present in pediatric and young adult patients.
OBJECTIVE: The present work concentrated on validating whether sinomenine alleviates bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. METHODS: A rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was constructed through intratracheal injection with 5 mg/kg BLM, and the effects of 30 mg/kg sinomenine on pulmonary inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and 4-hydroxynonenal density were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson's trichrome staining, TUNEL staining, and immunohistochemistry. Hydroxyproline content and concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers were detected using corresponding kits. MRC-5 cells were treated with 10 ng/ml PDGF, and the effects of 1 mM sinomenine on cell proliferation were assessed by EdU assays. The mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines and the protein levels of collagens, fibrosis markers, and key markers involved in the TLR4/NLRP3/TGFß signaling were tested with RT-qPCR and immunoblotting analysis. RESULTS: Sinomenine attenuated pulmonary fibrosis and inflammation while reducing hydroxyproline content and the protein expression of collagens and fibrosis markers in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis rats. Sinomenine reduced apoptosis in lung samples of BLM-challenged rats by increasing Bcl-2 and reducing Bax and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression. In addition, sinomenine alleviated inflammatory response and oxidative stress in rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by BLM. Moreover, sinomenine inhibited the TLR4/NLRP3/TGFß signaling pathway in lung tissues of BLM-stimulated rats. Furthermore, TLR4 inhibitor, TAK-242, attenuated PDGF-induced fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis in MRC-5 cells. CONCLUSION: Sinomenine attenuates BLM-caused pulmonary fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress by inhibiting the TLR4/NLRP3/TGFß signaling, indicating that sinomenine might become a therapeutic candidate to treat pulmonary fibrosis.
Fewer than 5% glioblastoma (GBM) patients survive over five years and are termed long-term survivors (LTS), yet their molecular background is unclear. The present cohort included 72 isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype GBM patients, consisting of 35 LTS and 37 short-term survivors (STS), and we employed whole exome sequencing, RNA-seq and DNA methylation array to delineate this largest LTS cohort to date. Although LTS and STS demonstrated analogous clinical characters and classical GBM biomarkers, CASC5 (P = 0.002) and SPEN (P = 0.013) mutations were enriched in LTS, whereas gene-to-gene fusions were concentrated in STS (P = 0.007). Importantly, LTS exhibited higher tumor mutation burden (P < 0.001) and copy number (CN) increase (P = 0.013), but lower mutant-allele tumor heterogeneity score (P < 0.001) and CN decrease (P = 0.026). Additionally, LTS demonstrated hypermethylated genome (P < 0.001) relative to STS. Differentially expressed and methylated genes both enriched in olfactory transduction. Further, analysis of the tumor microenvironment revealed higher infiltration of M1 macrophages (P = 0.043), B cells (P = 0.016), class-switched memory B cells (P = 0.002), central memory CD4+ T cells (P = 0.031) and CD4+ Th1 cells (P = 0.005) in LTS. We also separately analyzed a subset of patients who were methylation class-defined GBM, contributing 70.8% of the entire cohort, and obtained similar results relative to prior analyses. Finally, we demonstrated that LTS and STS could be distinguished using a subset of molecular features. Taken together, the present study delineated unique molecular attributes of LTS GBM.
Germinated soybean is one kind of food and a medicine. In the actual process of producing a large amount of naturally germinated soybean, it is difficult to strictly control the germination process conditions. However, sprout length may be more suitable as the terminal judgment indicator for naturally germinated soybean. An UPLC-DAD method was developed and validated to explore the transformation profiles of soybean isoflavones in germinated yellow or black soybean with different sprout lengths. Moreover, an LC - QTOF-MS/MS method was used to avoid false positive results. The contents of daidzein, glycitein, and genistein almost reached their corresponding maximum values when the sprout length ranged from 1.0 cm to 1.5 cm (P < 0.05). Therefore, yellow soybean is suggested to be the processing raw material with higher contents of those isoflavones, and the optimal sprout length for germinated soybean may be in the range of 1.0-1.5 cm.
BACKGROUND: The exact etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD), a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, is unclear. It is currently believed that its main pathological basis is a decrease in dopamine concentration in the striatum of the brain. Although many researchers have previously focused on the critical role of the immune response in PD, there has been a lack of valid genetic evidence for a causal association between specific immune cell traits and phenotypes and PD. METHODS: We employed Mendelian randomisation (MR) as an analytical method to effectively assess genetic associations between exposure and outcome. Based on the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to date, causal associations between multiple immune cell phenotypes and PD were validly assessed by using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are randomly assigned and not subject to any causality. RESULTS: By testing 731 immune cell phenotypes and their association with PD, the results of IVW analysis suggested that some phenotypes were considered to have a causal effect on PD(Pï¼0.05) . In addition, PD could have an effect on certain immunophenotypes located on Myeloid cell panel, Monocyte panel, the specific immunophenotypic results and statistical analysis values are shown in the text. The results of sensitivity analyses suggested that none of them observed the presence of horizontal pleiotropy. CONCLUSION: Our study identified a close link between immune cells and PD, and the results of this study provide ideas for the study of the immune mechanism of PD and the exploration of effective therapeutic means.
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) is a glycoprotein that acts as the main hormone involved in regulating red blood cell production to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney disease or chemotherapy, which has three N-glycosylation sites and one O-glycosylation site. It contains a variety of different glycosylation modifications, such as sialyation, O-acetylation on sialic acids, etc., which causes a big challenge for the glycosylation analysis of rhEPO. In this study, a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method combined with electron-activated dissociation (EAD) technology was used in qualitative and quantitative characterization of rhEPO N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation in just one injection. The usage of EAD not only generated abundant MS/MS fragment ions of glycopeptides and improved the MS/MS sequence coverage but also preserved the glycan structures in the MS/MS fragment ions and the integrity of the glycosidic bond between the glycans and peptides. Three N-glycosylation sites (N24, N38, and N83) and one O-glycosylation site (S126) of rhEPO samples were successfully identified. Among them, the glycosylation ratios of N24, N38, and N83 sites were 82.7%, 100%, and 100% respectively, and 15, 10, and 12 different N-glycans could be identified at the glycopeptide level. The total average number of sialic acids, N-hydroxyacetylneuraminoic acid, and O-acetylation on sialic acid were 7.28, 4.21, and 0.66 at the intact protein level, respectively. For O-glycosylation site S126, O-glycosylation ratios analyzed at the intact protein level and the glycopeptide level were 80.2% and 80.3%, respectively, and two O-glycans were identified, including Core1_S1 and Core1_S2. This study also compared the difference of the glycans and their relative contents in batch-to-batch rhEPO samples. The results proved that the workflow using EAD fragmentation in LC-MS method could be effectively applied for characterizing the glycosylation analysis of rhEPO samples and batch-to-batch consistency analysis, which would help to reasonably guide the optimization of rhEPO production process.
One of the features of pathological cardiac hypertrophy is enhanced translation and protein synthesis. Translational inhibition has been shown to be an effective means of treating cardiac hypertrophy, although system-wide side effects are common. Regulators of translation, such as cardiac-specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), could provide new, more targeted, therapeutic approaches to inhibit cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, we generated mice lacking a previously identified lncRNA named CARDINAL to examine its cardiac function. We demonstrate that CARDINAL is a cardiac-specific, ribosome associated lncRNA and show that its expression is induced in the heart upon pathological cardiac hypertrophy; its deletion in mice exacerbates stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy and augments protein translation. In contrast, overexpression of CARDINAL attenuates cardiac hypertrophy in vivo and in vitro, and suppresses hypertrophy-induced protein translation. Mechanistically, CARDINAL interacts with developmentally regulated GTP binding protein 1 (DRG1) and blocks its interaction with DRG family regulatory protein 1 (DFRP1); as a result, DRG1 is downregulated, thereby modulating the rate of protein translation in the heart in response to stress. This study provides evidence for the therapeutic potential of targeting cardiac-specific lncRNAs to suppress disease-induced translational changes and to treat cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.
Angiopterisnodosipetiolata Ting Wang tris, H.F.Chen & Y.H.Yan, a new fern of Marattiaceae, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, A.nodosipetiolata is similar to A.chingii with more than one naked pulvinus on the stipe and numerous jointed hairs on the undersides of the mature pinnae. However, the pinnae of A.nodosipetiolata are lanceolate and can reach up to 4-6 pairs, whereas they are elliptic and occur in 2-3 pairs in A.chingii. Phylogenetic and genetic distance analysis, based on the plastid genomes, also indicates that A.nodosipetiolata is not closely related to A.chingii. Currently, there are ca. 500 mature individuals in Gulinqing Nature Reserve and we suggest A.nodosipetiolata should be categorised as an Endangered (EN) species according to the criteria of IUCN.
Green ammonia synthesis through electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (eNO3RR) can serve as an effective alternative to the traditional energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process. However, achieving high Faradaic efficiency (FE) at industrially relevant current density in neutral medium poses significant challenges in eNO3RR. Herein, with the guidance of theoretical calculation, we successfully designed and constructed a metallic CoNi-terminated catalyst on copper foam, which achieves an ammonia FE of up to 100% under industrial-level current density and very low overpotential (-0.15 V versus RHE) in a neutral medium. Multiple characterization results have confirmed that the maintained metal atom-terminated surface through interaction with copper atoms plays a crucial role in reducing overpotential and achieving high current density. By constructing a home-made gas stripping and absorption device, we demonstrated the complete conversion process for high-purity ammonium nitrate products, displaying the potential for practical application. Our work suggests a sustainable and promising process towards directly converting nitrate-containing pollutant solutions into practical nitrogen fertilizers. This article is protected by copyright.

A Rh(III)-catalyzed annulation of 2-arylbenzimidazoles with α-diazo carbonyl compounds via C-H activation/carbene insertion/intramolecular cyclization is explored. The switchable product selectivity is achieved by the use of distinct α-diazo carbonyl compounds. Benzimidazole-fused quinolines are obtained through [4 + 2] annulation exclusively when 2-diazocyclohexane-1,3-diones are used, where they act as a C2 synthon. Alternatively, diazonaphthalen-1(2H)-ones merely function as a one-carbon unit synthon to generate a quaternary center through [4 + 1] cyclization to afford spirocyclic benzimidazole-fused isoindole naphthalen-2-ones. A thorough mechanistic study reveals the course of the reaction.
This study innovatively addresses challenges in enhancing upconversion efficiency in lanthanide-based nanoparticles (UCNPs) by exploiting Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a microorganism capable of extracellular electron transfer. Electroactive membranes, rich in c-type cytochromes, are extracted from bacteria and integrated into membrane-integrated liposomes (MILs), encapsulating core-shelled UCNPs with an optically inactive shell, forming UCNP@MIL constructs. The electroactive membrane, tailored to donate electrons through the inert shell, independently boosts upconversion emission under near-infrared excitation (980 nm or 1550 nm), bypassing ligand-sensitized UCNPs. The optically inactive shell restricts energy migration, emphasizing electroactive membrane electron donation. Density functional theory calculations elucidate efficient electron transfer due to the electroactive membrane hemes' highest occupied molecular orbital being higher than the valence band maximum of the optically inactive shell, crucial for enhancing energy transfer to emitter ions. The introduction of a SiO2 insulator coating diminishes light enhancement, underscoring the importance of unimpeded electron transfer. Luminescence enhancement remains resilient to variations in emitter or sensitizing ions, highlighting the robustness of the electron transfer-induced phenomenon. However, altering the inert shell material diminishes enhancement, emphasizing the role of electron transfer. This methodology holds significant promise for diverse biological applications. UCNP@MIL offers an advantage in cellular uptake, which proves beneficial for cell imaging. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a crucial role in regulating inflammatory responses and fibrosis formation. This study aims to explore the molecular mechanisms of EMT-related genes in Crohn's disease (CD) through bioinformatics methods and identify potential key biomarkers. In our research, we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to EMT based on the GSE52746 dataset and the gene set in the GeneCards database. Key genes were identified through Lasso-cox and Random Forest and validated using the external dataset GSE10616. Immune infiltration analysis showed that Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) was positively correlated with Neutrophils and Macrophages M1. The Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) results for LPCAT1 showed associations with celladhesionmolecules and ECM receptor interaction. Additionally, a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network was constructed. Finally, we validated that knocking down LPCAT1 could inhibit the release of inflammatory factors, EMT, and the elevation of fibrosis indices as well as the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway in LPS-induced HT-29 cells. LPCAT1 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of CD and may become a new biomarker.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) compared to combined intravenous and inhalation anaesthesia (CIIA) in paediatric patients undergoing renal biopsy. METHODS: A total of 86 children with nephrotic syndrome, acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, IgG nephropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus and purpura nephritis were selected from January 2018 to January 2023 in our hospital. All children were divided into the total intravenous anaesthesia group and intravenous inhalational anaesthesia group according to the anaesthesia method. The experimental group comprised 46 children with renal diseases who underwent static aspiration compound anaesthesia during renal biopsy at our hospital from January 2018 to January 2023. Conversely, the control group included 40 children with renal diseases who underwent total intravenous anaesthesia during renal biopsy at the hospital within the same period. Hemodynamic parameters, such as mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SPO2), were assessed at four different time points: Before anesthesia induction (T0), during anesthesia induction (T1), after anesthesia induction (T2), and at the conclusion of the surgery (T3). Puncture success rate, time to renal puncture, time to get out of bed, postoperative recovery from anaesthesia (including time to postoperative awakening and time to return to spontaneous respiration) and incidence of adverse anaesthetic reactions were also included. RESULTS: We observed notable variations in HR and MAP at T2 and T3, as well as SPO2 levels, duration of awakening from anaesthesia and time taken to resume spontaneous respiration between the two groups at T2 (p < 0.05). No statistically significant variances were detected between the two groups concerning adverse reactions to anaesthesia, puncture success rate, duration to renal puncture and time to mobilisation from bed (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, compared with the total intravenous anaesthesia, the implementation of the sedation-aspiration-combined anaesthesia in renal biopsy in children with renal disease features less haemodynamic fluctuation, better postoperative anaesthesia recovery and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Hydrophilic antifouling polymers provide excellent antifouling effects under usual short-term use conditions, but the long-term accumulation of contaminants causes them to lose their antifouling properties. To overcome this drawback, surface-initiated ring-opening graft polymerization (SI-ROP) was performed on the surface of the material by applying the cyclic carbide monomer 4'-(fluorosulfonyl)benzyl-5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxane-5-carboxylate (FMC), which contains a sulfonylfluoride group on the side chain, followed by a "sulfur(IV)-fluorine exchange" (SuFEx) post click modification reaction to link the hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the polyFMC (PFMC) brush, and a novel antifouling strategy for self-polishing dynamic antifouling surfaces was developed. The experimental results showed that the antifouling surface could effectively prevent the adsorption of proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA, â¼96.4%), fibrinogen (Fg, â¼87.8%) and lysozyme (Lyz â¼69.4%) as well as the adhesion of microorganisms such as the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (â¼87.5%) and HeLa cells (â¼67.2%). Moreover, the enzymatically self-polished surface still has excellent antifouling properties. Therefore, this modification method has potential applications in the field of biosensors and novel antifouling materials.
Carexqingyuanensis, a new species of Cyperaceae from Guangdong Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to Carexpeliosanthifolia F. T. Wang & Tang ex P. C. Li, but it can be distinguished by the racemose inflorescence branches appearing single (rarely binate or ternate) (vs. binate or ternate), one (rarely two or three) (vs. 1-3) spiked, male part of linear-cylindrical spikes much longer than the female part (vs. just male part short-cylindrical and slightly longer than female part), style base thickened (vs. not thickened) and perigynium horizontally patent with a short (vs. long and excurved) beak. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the two nuclear DNA regions (ETS 1f and ITS) and three chloroplast DNA regions (matK, ndhF and rps16), suggests that the new species belongs to sect. Siderostictaes.s. of subg. Siderosticta and shows a closer phylogenetic relationship to Carexscaposa C. B. Clarke.
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor with a poor prognosis. Here, we show that the nuclear receptor RORγ may serve as a potential therapeutic target in OS. OS exhibits a hyperactivated oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) program, which fuels the carbon source to promote tumor progression. We found that RORγ is overexpressed in OS tumors and is linked to hyperactivated OXPHOS. RORγ induces the expression of PGC-1ß and physically interacts with it to activate the OXPHOS program by upregulating the expression of respiratory chain component genes. Inhibition of RORγ strongly inhibits OXPHOS activation, downregulates mitochondrial functions, and increases ROS production, which results in OS cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. RORγ inverse agonists strongly suppressed OS tumor growth and progression and sensitized OS tumors to chemotherapy. Taken together, our results indicate that RORγ is a critical regulator of the OXPHOS program in OS and provides an effective therapeutic strategy for this deadly disease.
Seipin is a key regulator of lipid metabolism, the deficiency of which leads to severe lipodystrophy. Hypothalamus is the pivotal center of brain that modulates appetite and energy homeostasis, where Seipin is abundantly expressed. Whether and how Seipin deficiency leads to systemic metabolic disorders via hypothalamus-involved energy metabolism dysregulation remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we demonstrated that Seipin-deficiency induced hypothalamic inflammation, reduction of anorexigenic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), and elevation of orexigenic agonist-related peptide (AgRP). Importantly, administration of rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione antidiabetic agent, rescued POMC and AgRP expression, suppressed hypothalamic inflammation, and restored energy homeostasis in Seipin knockout mice. Our findings offer crucial insights into the mechanism of Seipin deficiency-associated energy imbalance and indicates that rosiglitazone could serve as potential intervening agent towards metabolic disorders linked to Seipin.

PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) during short-term and long-term exposure to high altitude with ultrasonography, and also study the sex differences in the response of CA to altitude. METHODS: We assessed the differences in dynamic CA and measured with Doppler ultrasound of the bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA), vertebral artery (VA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA) and the values of basic information within 48 hours and at 2 years after arrival at Tibet in 65 healthy Han young Chinese volunteers, meanwhile, we compared the resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of the right MCA at inhale oxygen 8 minutes when a newcomer with 2 years after arrival at Tibet. RESULTS: With 2 years of altitude exposure, the SaO2 of all subjects was above 90%, the mean PEF, DAP, and HR values decreased, HGB increased compared within 48 hours in same-gender groups. Comparisons of cerebral hemodynamics between before 2 years and after 2 years within male and female groups, the mean RI and PI values of bilateral MCA after 2 years were significantly higher than before 2 years, at the same time, the mean RI and PI values of bilateral ICA were significant differences (P < .05) between male groups, with regard to female groups, showed that the mean RI and PI values of bilateral VA were significant differences (P < .05). Comparisons of Right MCA hemodynamics between after oxygen uptake 8 minutes and 2 years, the mean RI and PI values were no significant difference within male and female groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: Acute mountain sickness could result from an alteration of dynamic autoregulation of cerebral blood flow, but the impaired autoregulation may be corrected with the extension of time, furthermore, the response of CA to altitude in males and females are different.
Introduction: Malaria is a significant public health concern and tropical disease, particularly affecting Myanmar within the Greater Mekong Subregion. The annual parasite index (API) exceeds 1 per 10,000 population in the northern seven townships of Rakhine State, with Minbya Township designated as a high-burden area for malaria by the World Health Organization (WHO) Myanmar and the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP). Since 2017, the Malaria reduction intensification plan has been in place in this township to combat the high disease transmission rates. This study aims to assess the malaria epidemiology in Minbya Township from 2017 to 2020 under the intensification plan for elimination, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated strategy in reducing cases in hotspot areas. Methods: The study utilized a surveillance study design to collect secondary data from the Malaria surveillance system (MSS) and the epidemiologic monitoring dashboard of Minbya Township, Maruk-U District, located in Rakhine State. Results: Since 2017, the Malaria prevention and control (P&C) Program in Minbya Township has successfully decreased malaria morbidity, eliminated malaria-related deaths, and bolstered malaria testing capabilities through the participation of village health volunteers (VHVs). Approximately 87% of malaria prevention and control services are executed by the township's malaria elimination and disease control programs, with additional support from stakeholders. The API dropped from 13 in 2017 to 2.5 in 2020, with Plasmodium vivax being the most prevalent malaria species, accounting for 55% of cases. Conclusions: The study suggests that early diagnosis and promotion of artemisinin-based combination treatment (ACT), along with strategic planning including expanding active case detection in rural health centers and implementing a community-based integrated healthcare approach, are effective and efficient strategies for malaria elimination.
With the exacerbation of global climate change and the growing environmental awareness among the general public, the concept of green consumption has gained significant attention across various sectors of society. As a representative example of green consumer products, energy-saving products play a crucial role in the timely realization of dual carbon goals. However, an analysis of online comments regarding energy-saving products reveals that the majority of these products still exhibit shortcomings in terms of efficacy, noise level, cost-effectiveness, and particularly, energy-saving appliances. This study focuses on the user-generated online comments data from the Taobao e-commerce platform for Grade 1 energy-saving refrigerators. By employing text mining techniques, the study aims to extract the essential information and sentiments expressed in the comments, in order to explore the consumption characteristics of Grade 1 energy-saving refrigerators. Moreover, the LBBA (LDA-Bert-BiLSTM-Attention) model is utilized to investigate the consumer topics of interest and emotional features. Initially, the LDA model is adopted to identify the attributes and weights of consumer concerns. Subsequently, the Bert model is pre-trained with the online comment data, and combined with the BiLSTM algorithm and Attention mechanism to predict sentiment categories. Finally, a transfer learning approach is utilized to determine the sentiment inclination of user-generated online comments and to identify the primary driving factors behind each sentiment category. This research employs sentiment analysis on online comments data regarding energy-saving products to uncover consumer sentiment attributes and emotional characteristics. It provides decision-makers with a comprehensive and systematic understanding of public consumption intentions, offering decision support for the efficient operation and management of the energy-saving product market.
