RÉSUMÉ
Cardiogenic cerebral infarction (CCI) is a disease in which the blood supply to the blood vessels in the brain is insufficient due to atherosclerosis or stenosis of the coronary arteries in the patient's heart, which leads to neurological deficits. To predict the pathogenic factors of cardiogenic cerebral infarction, this paper proposes a machine learning based analytical prediction model. 494 patients with CCI who were hospitalized for the first time were consecutively included in the study between January 2017 and December 2021, and followed up every three months for one year after hospital discharge. Clinical, laboratory and imaging data were collected, and predictors associated with relapse and death in CCI patients at six months and one year after discharge were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods, meanwhile established a new machine learning model based on the enhanced moth-flame optimization (FTSAMFO) and the fuzzy K-nearest neighbor (FKNN), called BITSAMFO-FKNN, which is practiced on the dataset related to patients with CCI. Specifically, this paper proposes the spatial transformation strategy to increase the exploitation capability of moth-flame optimization (MFO) and combines it with the tree seed algorithm (TSA) to increase the search capability of MFO. In the benchmark function experiments FTSAMFO beat 5 classical algorithms and 5 recent variants. In the feature selection experiment, ten times ten-fold cross-validation trials showed that the BITSAMFO-FKNN model proved actual medical importance and efficacy, with an accuracy value of 96.61%, sensitivity value of 0.8947, MCC value of 0.9231, and F-Measure of 0.9444. The results of the trial showed that hemorrhagic conversion and lower LVDD/LVSD were independent risk factors for recurrence and death in patients with CCI. The established BITSAMFO-FKNN method is helpful for CCI prognosis and deserves further clinical validation.

Controlling infrared thermal radiations can significantly improve the environmental adaptability of targets and has attracted increasing attention in the field of thermal camouflage. Thermal emitters based on Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) can flexibly change their radiation energy by controlling the reversible phase transition of GST, which possesses fast switching speed and low power consumption. However, the feasibility of the dynamic regulation of GST emitters lacks experimental and simulation verification. In this paper, we propose an electrically tunable thermal emitter consisting of a metal-insulator-metal plasmonic metasurface based on GST. Both optical and thermal simulations are conducted to optimize the structural parameters of the GST emitter. The results indicate that this emitter possesses large emissivity tunability, wide incident angle, polarization insensitivity, phase-transition feasibility, and dynamic thermal camouflage capability. Therefore, this work proposes a reliable optimization method to design viable GST-based thermal emitters. Moreover, it provides theoretical support for the practical application of phase-change materials in dynamic infrared thermal camouflage technology.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of histopathological examination of ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy samples in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). Methods: This study was conducted at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center. A total of 115 patients underwent ultrasound-guided puncture biopsy, followed by MGIT 960 culture (culture), smear, GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert), and histopathological examination. These assays were performed to evaluate their effectiveness in diagnosing EPTB in comparison to two different diagnostic criteria: liquid culture and composite reference standard (CRS). Results: When CRS was used as the reference standard, the sensitivity and specificity of culture, smear, Xpert, and histopathological examination were (44.83%, 89.29%), (51.72%, 89.29%), (70.11%, 96.43%), and (85.06%, 82.14%), respectively. Based on liquid culture tests, the sensitivity and specificity of smear, Xpert, and pathological examination were (66.67%, 72.60%), (83.33%, 63.01%), and (92.86%, 45.21%), respectively. Histopathological examination showed the highest sensitivity but lowest specificity. Further, we found that the combination of Xpert and histopathological examination showed a sensitivity of 90.80% and a specificity of 89.29%. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided puncture sampling is safe and effective for the diagnosis of EPTB. Compared with culture, smear, and Xpert, histopathological examination showed higher sensitivity but lower specificity. The combination of histopathology with Xpert showed the best performance characteristics.

Potassium diformate (KDF) is a kind of formate, which possesses the advantages of antimicrobial activity, growth promotion and preventing diarrhea in weaned piglets. However, the researches of KDF in animal production mostly focused on apparent indexes such as growth performance and the mechanisms of KDF on intestinal health have not been reported. Thus, porcine small intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) infected with Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) was used to investigate the role of KDF on alleviating intestinal inflammation in this study. The 0.125 mg/mL KDF treated IPEC-J2 cells for 6 h and IPEC-J2 cells challenged with 5 × 107 CFU/mL EHEC for 4 h were confirmed as the optimum concentration and time for the following experiment. The subsequent experiment was divided into four groups: control group (CON), EHEC group, KDF group, KDF+EHEC group. The results showed that KDF increased the cell viability and the gene expression levels of SGLT3 and TGF-ß, while decreased the content of IL-1ß compared with the CON group. The cell viability and the gene expressions of SGLT1, SGLT3, GLUT2, Claudin-1, Occludin and TGF-ß, and the protein expression of ZO-1 in EHEC group were lower than those in CON group, whereas the gene expressions of IL-1ß, TNF, IL-8 and TLR4, and the level of phosphorylation NF-кB protein were increased. Pretreatment with KDF reduced the content of IgM and IL-1ß, the gene expressions of IL-1ß, TNF, IL-8 and TLR4 and the level of phosphorylation NF-кB protein, and increased the gene expression of TGF-ß and the protein expression of Occludin in IPEC-J2 cells infected EHEC. In conclusion, 0.125 mg/mL KDF on IPEC-J2 cells for 6 h had the beneficial effects on ameliorating the intestinal inflammation because of reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhanced anti-inflammatory cytokines through regulating NF-кB signaling pathway under the EHEC challenge.

The development of optical tweezers aims to extend their operating function and pattern. However, excessive programming can lead to a decrease in the system's operating speed and introduce bugs or data transmission delays. In this study, we present a time-shared optical tweezers system that allows for parallel operation of multiple functions. To enable efficient data transmission, we employ a queue structure and a buffer. To assess the system's performance, we utilize a biological sample in conjunction with the optical tweezers system and scanning imaging technique. We quantify the trapping parameter while concurrently running power stabilization programs. As a result, the standard deviation of the measured stiffness is reduced by 60% in the x and y directions and 30% in the z direction, indicating a significant improvement in calibration precision. Throughout the program execution, the system maintains an operating rate of 110 kHz, and the data are continuously updated in real time on the host. The system's performance demonstrates its potential for quantification and morphological reconstruction of biological samples.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and potential mechanism of evodiamine on inflammatory response and apoptosis of epithelial cells in asthma model rats. METHODS SD rats were separated into control group, model group, evodiamine low-dose group (10 mg/kg), evodiamine high-dose group (20 mg/kg), dexamethasone group (positive control, 0.5 mg/kg), epidermal growth factor (EGF) group [mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activator, 10 μg], evodiamine high-dose+EGF group (20 mg/kg evodiamine+10 μg EGF), with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group, the other groups were sensitized by 3-point injection of 10% ovalbumin(OVA)-aluminium hydroxide mixture and stimulated by inhalation of 2%OVA nebulized liquid to establish an asthma model. The count of inflammatory cells (macrophages and lymphocytes) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was detected in each group; pathological changes of lung tissue in rats were observed; the apoptosis of airway epithelial cells, the levels of serum inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-4], the expressions of pathway-related proteins p38 MAPK, phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK), signal transduction and transcription activating factor 1 (STAT1)] and apoptosis-related proteins [B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax)] were all detected in lung tissue. RESULTS Compared with the control group, bronchial mucosal edema, thickening of alveolar septa and extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells were observed in the lung tissue of rats in the model group; the number of inflammatory cells, apoptosis rate of airway epithelial cells, the levels of inflammatory factors, p-38 MAPK/p-38 MAPK, and the protein expressions of Bax and STAT1 were increased significantly; the expressions of Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-2/Bax were reduced significantly (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the pathological changes in lung tissues were alleviated to varying degrees in evodiamine low-dose and high-dose groups, and dexamethasone groups, and the above indicators were significantly reversed. However, the change trends of corresponding indicators in the EGF group were opposite to the above (P<0.05). EGF could significantly attenuate the effect of high-dose evodiamine on inflammatory response in asthmatic rats (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Evodiamine can relieve inflammatory reactions and inhibit the apoptosis of airway epithelial cells in asthmatic rats, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting p38 MAPK/STAT1 signaling pathway.

Herein, we present a base-mediated nucleophilic substitution reaction of α-trifluoromethylstyrenes with simple silyl enol ethers, enabling the efficient synthesis of carbonyl-substituted gem-difluoroalkenes. The merit of this protocol is exhibited by its mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and scalable preparation. Notably, this method demonstrates its applicability for late-stage functionalization of structurally complex molecules. Moreover, we illustrate that the resulting products can serve as valuable precursors for the synthesis of diverse medicinally relevant compounds.

Highly conductive and stretchable polymer conductors fabricated from conductive fillers and stretchable polymers are urgently needed in flexible electronics, implants, soft robotics, etc. However, polymer conductors encounter the conductivity-stretchability dilemma, in which high-load fillers needed for high conductivity always result in the stiffness of materials. Herein, we propose a new design of highly conductive and stretchable polymer conductors with low-load nanoparticles (NPs). The design is achieved by the self-assembly of surface-modified NPs to efficiently form robust conductive pathways. We employ computer simulations to elucidate the self-assembly of the NPs in the polymer matrices under equilibrium and tensile states. The conductive pathways retain 100% percolation probability even though the loading of the NPs is lowered to â¼2% volume. When the tensile strain reaches 400%, the percolation probability of the â¼2% NP system is still greater than 25%. The theoretical prediction suggests a way for advancing flexible conductive materials.

The survival and growth of fish are significantly impacted by a hypoxic environment (low dissolved oxygen). In this study, we compared tissue structure, physiological changes, and mRNA/miRNA transcriptome, in gills of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) between the hypoxic group (DO: 0.55 mg/L, HG) and the control group (DO: 5 mg/L, CG). The results showed that the gill filaments in the hypoxic group showed curling, engorgement, and apoptotic cells increased, and that exposure for 96 h resulted in a reduction in the antioxidant capacity. We constructed and sequenced miRNA and mRNA libraries from gill tissues of GIFT at 96 h of hypoxia stress. Between the HG and CG, a total of 14 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and 1557 DE genes were obtained. GO and KEGG enrichment showed that DE genes were mainly enriched in immune and metabolic pathways such as natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity, steroid biosynthesis, primary immunodeficiency, and synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies. Based on the results of mRNA sequencing and screening for miRNA-mRNA pairs, we selected and verified six DE miRNAs and their probable target genes. The sequencing results were consistent with the qRT-PCR validation results. The result showed that under hypoxia stress, the innate immune response was up-regulated, and the adaptive immune response was down-regulated in the gill of GIFT. The synthesis of cholesterol in gill cells is reduced, which is conducive to the absorption of solvent oxygen. These findings offer fresh information about the processes of fish adaptation to hypoxic stress.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence and risk factors of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder reported by population-based studies have significantly varied and the data are all collected from regional populations in Mainland China. AIMS: To utilize published data to estimate the overall prevalence of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder and its determinants in Mainland China. METHODS: Comprehensively electronic searches were performed across six English databases and three Chinese databases. Random effects of the meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the pooled prevalence of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder. Meta-regression was performed with the variable of study design, sample size, setting, measures, region, time points, and publication year. RESULTS: Totaling of nineteen studies was included, with a sample size of 13,231 postpartum women. The pooled prevalence of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder was 11.2 % in Mainland China, with a higher prevalence at the timepoint within 1 month postpartum (18.1 %). Significant publication bias and heterogeneity were found (I2 = 97.1 %). Sample size and measurements were conditional on the prevalence of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder. Postpartum depressive symptoms, sleep problems, cesarean section, and low levels of social support were the major risk factors for postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder. While being the one child in the family was the protective factor. CONCLUSION: An increasing prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder within one month postpartum significantly arises awareness to provide screening and more mental health services during this period. Screening programs for postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder are still needed in Mainland China.

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide; however, the treatment choices available to neurologists are limited in clinical practice. Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) is a secreted protein, belonging to the lipocalin superfamily, with multiple biological functions in mediating innate immune response, inflammatory response, iron-homeostasis, cell migration and differentiation, energy metabolism, and other processes in the body. LCN2 is expressed at low levels in the brain under normal physiological conditions, but its expression is significantly up-regulated in multiple acute stimulations and chronic pathologies. An up-regulation of LCN2 has been found in the blood/cerebrospinal fluid of patients with ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke, and could serve as a potential biomarker for the prediction of the severity of acute stroke. LCN2 activates reactive astrocytes and microglia, promotes neutrophil infiltration, amplifies post-stroke inflammation, promotes blood-brain barrier disruption, white matter injury, and neuronal death. Moreover, LCN2 is involved in brain injury induced by thrombin and erythrocyte lysates, as well as microvascular thrombosis after hemorrhage. In this paper, we review the role of LCN2 in the pathological processes of ischemic stroke; intracerebral hemorrhage; subarachnoid hemorrhage; and stroke-related brain diseases, such as vascular dementia and post-stroke depression, and their underlying mechanisms. We hope that this review will help elucidate the value of LCN2 as a therapeutic target in stroke.

Annual gross primary productivity (AGPP) is the basis for grain production and terrestrial carbon sequestration. Mapping regional AGPP from site measurements provides methodological support for analysing AGPP spatiotemporal variations thereby ensures regional food security and mitigates climate change. Based on 641 site-year eddy covariance measuring AGPP from China, we built an AGPP mapping scheme based on its formation and selected the optimal mapping way, which was conducted through analysing the predicting performances of divergent mapping tools, variable combinations, and mapping approaches in predicting observed AGPP variations. The reasonability of the selected optimal scheme was confirmed by assessing the consistency between its generating AGPP and previous products in spatiotemporal variations and total amount. Random forest regression tree explained 85 % of observed AGPP variations, outperforming other machine learning algorithms and classical statistical methods. Variable combinations containing climate, soil, and biological factors showed superior performance to other variable combinations. Mapping AGPP through predicting AGPP per leaf area (PAGPP) explained 86 % of AGPP variations, which was superior to other approaches. The optimal scheme was thus using a random forest regression tree, combining climate, soil, and biological variables, and predicting PAGPP. The optimal scheme generating AGPP of Chinese terrestrial ecosystems decreased from southeast to northwest, which was highly consistent with previous products. The interannual trend and interannual variation of our generating AGPP showed a decreasing trend from east to west and from southeast to northwest, respectively, which was consistent with data-oriented products. The mean total amount of generated AGPP was 7.03 ± 0.45 PgC yr-1 falling into the range of previous works. Considering the consistency between the generated AGPP and previous products, our optimal mapping way was suitable for mapping AGPP from site measurements. Our results provided a methodological support for mapping regional AGPP and other fluxes.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the therapeutic effects of total glucosides of paeony (TGP) on psoriasis based on the immunomodulatory effect of dermal mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs).@*METHODS@#A total of 30 male BALB/c mice were divided into 6 groups (n=5 in each) by a random number table method, including control, psoriasis model (model, 5% imiquimod cream 42 mg/d), low-, medium- and high-dose TGP (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, L, M-, and H-TGP, respectively), and positive control group (2.5 mg/kg acitretin). After 14 days of continuous administration, the skin's histopathological changes, apoptosis, secretion of inflammatory cytokines, and proportion of regulatory T cells (Treg) and T helper cell 17 (Th17) were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. DMSCs were further isolated from the skin tissues of normal and psoriatic mice, and the cell morphology, phenotype, and cycle were observed. Furthermore, TGP was used to treat psoriatic DMSCs to analyze the effects on the DMSCs immune regulation.@*RESULTS@#TGP alleviated skin pathological injury, reduced epidermis layer thickness, inhibited apoptosis, and regulated the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and the proportion of Treg and Th17 in the skin tissues of psoriatic mice (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no significant difference in cell morphology and phenotype between control and psoriatic DMSCs (P>0.05), however, more psoriatic DMSCs remained in G0/G1 phase compared with the normal DMSCs (P<0.01). TGP treatment of psoriatic DMSCs significantly increased cell viability, decreased apoptosis, relieved inflammatory response, and inhibited the expression of toll-like receptor 4 and P65 (P<0.05 or P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#TGP may exert a good therapeutic effect on psoriasis by regulating the immune imbalance of DMSCs.

Objective: To investigate the effect of sugammadex on postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) after intracranial aneurysm surgery. Methods: Data from intracranial aneurysms patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent interventional surgery in the Department of Neurosurgery, Peking University International Hospital from January 2020 to March 2021 were prospectively included. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided by 1∶1 into the neostigmine+atropine group (group N) and the sugammadex group (group S). Use an acceleration muscle relaxation monitor for muscle relaxation monitoring, and administer neostigmine+atropine and sugammadex to block residual muscle relaxation drugs after surgery. The incidence rates of PONV and severity, the appearance of anesthesia, and the correlation between PONV and postoperative complications were recorded in both groups during five periods after surgery: 0-0.5 hours (T1),>0.5-2.0 hours(T2),>2.0-6.0 hours (T3),>6.0-12.0 hours (T4) and >12.0-24.0 hours (T5). Group comparisons of quantitative data were performed by the independent sample t-test, and categorical data was performed by the χ2 or rank sum test. Results: A total of 66 patients were included in the study, including 37 males and 29 female, aged (59.3±15.4) years (range: 18 to 77 years). The incidence rates of PONV of 33 patients in group S at different time periods of T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 after surgery were respectively 27.3%(9/33),30.3%(10/33),12.1%(4/33),3.0%(1/33),0(0/33),and the incidence rates of PONV of 33 patients in the group N at different time periods of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 after surgery were respectively 36.4%(12/33),36.4%(12/33),33.3%(11/33),6.1%(2/33) and 0(0/33).The incidence of PONV was lower in the group S only in the T3 period after reversal than in the group N (χ2=4.227, P=0.040).However, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of PONV between the two groups of patients in other periods (all P>0.05). The recovery time for spontaneous breathing in patients in group S was (7.7±1.4) minutes, the extubation time was (12.4±5.3) minutes, and the safe exit time for anesthesia recovery was (12.3±3.4) minutes; the N groups were (13.9±2.0) minutes, (18.2±6.0) minutes, and (18.6±5.2) minutes, respectively; three time periods in group S were shorter than those in group N, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The results regarding the occurrence of complications in patients with different levels of PONV at different time intervals after surgery in the two groups were as follows: in the T3 time period of group N, a significant difference was observed only in the occurrence of postoperative complications among patients with different levels of PONV (χ2=24.786, P<0.01). However, in the T4 time period, significant differences were found in the occurrence of postoperative complications among both the same level and different level PONV patients (χ2=15.435, 15.435, both P<0.01). Significant differences were also observed in the occurrence of postoperative complications among the same level and different level PONV patients in both the T3 and T4 time periods of group S (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Sugammadex can be used to reverse muscle relaxation in patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm intervention surgery,and it does not have a significant impact on the incidence of PONV, it can also optimize the quality of anesthesia recovery and reduce the incidence of complications after intracranial aneurysm embolization surgery.

Objective:To understand the current situation of early mobilization in elder patients with acute ischemic stroke, and to analyze the influencing factors of early mobilization in patients with different degrees of neurological deficits, aiming to provide evidence for promoting early mobilization in patients with stroke and for formulating intervention strategies.Methods:Patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the stroke centers of two class A tertiary hospitals in Hunan Province between January and December 2021 were enrolled.The degree of neurological impairment, activities of daily living and muscle strength were evaluated within 24 hours after admission, and patients' performance of early mobilization was recorded.Based on whether patients performed out-of-bed activities such as sitting at the bedside, standing or walking, transferring from bed to chair within 48 hours after admission, they were divided into an early ambulation group and a non-early ambulation group.Univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis were then used to examine the influencing factors of early ambulation in patients with mild to moderate neurological deficits.Results:Among 257 patients with acute ischemic stroke, 60.7%(156 cases)conducted early mobilization.The rate of early mobilization for patients with moderate neurological deficits was only 12.9%(12/193), significantly lower than that for patients with mild neurological deficits(87.8%, 144/164)( χ2=139.571, P<0.001).Univariate analysis showed that there were significantly differences in the level of activities of daily living, stroke history, strength of the upper and lower limbs of the affected side between the early and non-early ambulation groups with moderate neurological impairment(all P<0.05), and there were significant differences in the level of activities of daily living between the early ambulation group and the non-early ambulation group in patients with mild neurological impairment( χ2=11.907, P<0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that requiring assistance in daily life( OR=4.189, 95% CI: 1.724-10.668, P=0.002), muscle strength of the affected lower extremity ≤ grade 3( OR=9.605, 95% CI: 2.627-35.113, P=0.001)and moderate neurological deficits( OR=8.585, 95% CI: 3.216-22.913, P<0.001)were the risk factors of early mobilization in stroke patients. Conclusions:The rate of stroke patients with moderate neurological impairment performing early mobilization is low within 48 hours after admission.Activities of daily living ability, limb muscle strength and degrees of neurological deficits are influencing factors of early mobilization in stroke patients.
