Efficacy and Safety of Iron Isomaltoside Compared with an Oral Iron Supplement in the Management of Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia

Objective: To evaluate the treatment outcome of iron isomaltoside compared with an oral iron supplement in the management of iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Methods: The study included patients with IDA who visited the Outpatient Clinic of the Department of Hematology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from October 2021 to August 2022 and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. According to the actual application of iron supplementation, the patients were divided into two groups: iron isomaltoside treatment group and oral iron treatment group. Baseline measurements were collected before the start of treatment, and measurements were collected subsequently at intervals of 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. The hematological parameters analyzed included Hemoglobin (Hb), Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Hemoglobin content (MCH), Mean corpuscular Hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and Platelet (Plt). Safety data and adverse event profiles were recorded. Results: Intra-group comparisons: After 1 month of treatment, the Hb significantly improved (P 0.05). Inter-group comparisons: The biochemical parameters were significantly improved (P 0.05) in the iron isomaltoside group compared with those in the oral iron group after 1 month of iron supplementation in patients with mild and moderate anemia. Adverse reactions were tolerable for the patients in both iron isomaltoside group and oral iron group. Only 1 patient in iron isomaltoside group developed anaphylactic shock during medication and recovered after aggressive rescue. Conclusions: Iron isomaltoside which increases Hb more rapidly compared with the oral iron supplementation has few adverse reactions and good acceptance.

Infl uence of altitude and tree class on climate-growth relationships in a larch plantation in subtropical China

Precise quantifi cation of climate-growth relationships can make a major contribution to scientifi c forest management.However,whether diff erences in the response of growth to climate at diff erent altitudes remains unclear.To answer this,264 trees of Larix kaempferi from 88 plots,representing diff erent altitudinal ranges(1000-2100 m)and tree classes were sampled and used to develop tree-ring chronologies.Tree-ring growth(TRG)was either positively(dominant)or negatively(intermediate and suppressed)correlated with climate in diff erent tree classes at diff erent altitudes.TRG was strongly correlated with growing season at low altitudes,but was less sensitive to climate at middle altitudes.It was mainly limited by precipitation and was highly sensitive to climate at low altitudes.Climate-growth relationships at high altitudes were opposite compared to those at low altitudes.TRG of dominant trees was more sensitive to climate change compared to intermediate and suppressed trees.Climate factors(annual temperatures;moisture,the number of frost-free days)had diff erent eff ects on tree-ring growth of diff erent tree classes along altitudinal gradients.It was concluded that the increase in summer temperatures decreased water availability,resulting in a signifi cant decline in growth rates after 2005 at lower altitudes.L.kaempferi is suitable for planting in middle altitudes and dominant trees were the best sampling choice for accurately assessing climate-growth relationships.

Dihydroartemisinin enhances cell apoptosis in diffuse large B cell lymphoma by inhibiting the STAT3 activity

Background:Dihydroartemisinin(DHA)is reported to be a potential anticancer agent,and the mechanisms underlying the effects of DHA on diffuse large B cell lymphoma however are still obscure.This study aimed to assess the antitumor effect of DHA on diffuse large B cell lymphoma cells and to determine the potential underlying mechanisms of DHA-induced cell apoptosis.Methods:Here,the Cell Counting Kit 8 assay was conducted to study cell proliferation.We performed Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide staining,real-time polymerase chain reaction,and western blot analysis to analyze cell apoptosis and potential molecular mechanisms.Results:The results showed that DHA substantially suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in vitro in a time-and concentration-dependent fashion.Moreover,STAT3 activity could be inhibited after stimulation with DHA.Conclusion:These results imply that the underlying anti-tumoral effect of DHA may increase apoptosis in diffuse large B cell lymphoma cells via the STAT3 signaling pathway.In addition,DHA might be an effective drug for diffuse large B cell lymphoma therapy.

Total significant effective rate=（cured cases＋cases of significant effect）/total cases × 100%. （3） The enumeration data and measurement data were compared with chi-square test and t test respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Clinical efficacy and GDS results at 1 year old in both groups. RESUTLS： All the 84 infants were involved in the analysis of results. （1） Efficacy： The total significant effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group （93%, 74%, x^2=4.2, P 〈 0.05）. （2） Results of GDS evaluation： The DQ values of individual intercourse and social adaptation in the treatment group （93.57±11.23, 95.13±9.32） were higher than those in the control group （88.27±10.18, 90.10±10.67, t =2.267, 2.301, P 〈 0.05）; The DQ values of gross motor, fine motor and speech in the treatment group （90.78±10.20, 98.63±9.23, 93.69±11.31） were higher than those in the control group （84.32± 11.33, 87.80±8.61, 85.52±10.61, t =2.746, 5.560, 2.746, P 〈 0.01）. The interventional effects on each functional area were significant, especially the gross motor, fine motor and speech. CONCLUSION： The Vojta and Bobath combined treatment on the basis of drug therapy can improve the general developments of abilities in motor, intelligence, social intercourse, social adaptation and speech of high risk infants with brain damage, also can improve the curative efficacy.

Evaluating soil nutrients of Dacrydium pectinatum in China using machine learning techniques

Background: The accurate estimation of soil nutrient content is particularly important in view of its impact on plant growth and forest regeneration. In order to investigate soil nutrient content and quality for the natural regeneration of Dacrydium pectinatum communities in China, designing advanced and accurate estimation methods is necessary.Methods: This study uses machine learning techniques created a series of comprehensive and novel models from which to evaluate soil nutrient content. Soil nutrient evaluation methods were built by using six support vector machines and four artificial neural networks.Results: The generalized regression neural network model was the best artificial neural network evaluation model with the smallest root mean square error(5.1), mean error(-0.85), and mean square prediction error(29). The accuracy rate of the combined k-nearest neighbors(k-NN) local support vector machines model(i.e. k-nearest neighbors-support vector machine(KNNSVM)) for soil nutrient evaluation was high, comparing to the other five partial support vector machines models investigated. The area under curve value of generalized regression neural network(0.6572) was the highest, and the cross-validation result showed that the generalized regression neural network reached 92.5%.Conclusions: Both the KNNSVM and generalized regression neural network models can be effectively used to evaluate soil nutrient content and quality grades in conjunction with appropriate model variables. Developing a new feasible evaluation method to assess soil nutrient quality for Dacrydium pectinatum, results from this study can be used as a reference for the adaptive management of rare and endangered tree species. This study, however, found some uncertainties in data acquisition and model simulations, which will be investigated in upcoming studies.

An Exploration of the Existing Problems of Enterprise Asset Restructuring Accounting, the Causes, and Their Countermeasures

With the rapid development of social economy,the sense of urgency among enterprises is increasing.The primary reason for this is the fierce competition among enterprises.As an important strategy for establishing a modern enterprise system,asset restructuring plays a pivotal role in improving the economic efficiency of enterprises,optimizing the allocation of social resources,and promoting both,social and economic development.Therefore,based on the existing problems of enterprise asset restructuring accounting,this paper discusses the causes of the accounting deficiencies in enterprise asset restructuring from various perspectives,including asset restructuring concept,financial authority and responsibility authority,as well as commercial credit,and subsequently proposes corresponding optimization strategies,which include strengthening asset valuation,enhancing information disclosure of connected transactions,improving relevant accounting standards,as well as strengthening information audit and improving related systems.

High nitrogen fertilizer input enhanced the microbial network complexity in the paddy soil

N fertilizer altered bacterial community compositions by changing soil nutrients.•Bacterial ammonia oxidation became predominated with the increasing N rate.•Excessive N input caused the information of a more complex microbial network.•Intensified microbial competition by excessive N was due to negative link increase.Nitrogen(N)fertilization drives the structure and function of soil microbial communities,which are crucial for regulating soil biogeochemical cycling and maintaining ecosystem stability.Despite the N fertilizer effects on soil microbial composition and diversity have been widely investigated,it is generally overlooked that ecosystem processes are carried out via complex associations among microbiome members.Here,we examined the effects of five N fertilization levels(0,135,180,225,and 360 kg N ha−1)on microbial co-occurrence networks and key functional taxa such as ammonia-oxidizers in paddy soils.The results showed that N addition altered microbial community composition,which were positively related to soil total N and available phosphorus(P)contents.The abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea(AOA)significantly decreased after N addition,whereas ammonia-oxidizing bacteria(AOB)increased in N360 treatment.Compared with low-N group(N0 and N135),the high-N group(N225 and N360)shaped more complex microbial webs and thus improved the stability of the microbial community.Partial least squares path modeling further revealed that N fertilizer had a higher effect on microbial network complexity in the high-N group(0.83)than the low-N group(0.49).Although there were more positive links across all microbial networks,the proportion of negative links significantly increased in the high-N network,suggesting that excess N addition aggravated the competition among microbial species.Disentangling these interactions between microbial communities and N fertilization advances our understanding of biogeochemical processes in paddy soils and their effects on nutrient supply to rice production.Our findings highlighted that highly N-enriched paddy soils have more stable microbial networks and can better sustain soil ecological functions to cope with the ongoing environmental changes.

Patterned growth ofβ-Ga_(2)O_(3) thin films for solar-blind deep-ultraviolet photodetectors array and optical imaging application

Solar-blind deep-ultraviolet(DUV)photodetectors based on Ga_(2)O_(3)have attracted great attention due to their potential applications for many military and civil purposes.However,the development of device integration for optoelectronic system applications remains a huge challenge.Herein,we report a facile method for patterned-growth of high-qualityβ-Ga_(2)O_(3)thin films,which are assembled into a photodetectors array comprising 8×8 device units.A representative detector exhibits outstanding photoresponse performance,in terms of an ultra-low dark current of 0.62 pA,a large Ilight/Idark ratio exceeding 10^(4),a high responsivity of 0.72 A W^(-1) and a decent specific detectivity of 4.18×10^(11)Jones,upon 265 nm DUV illumination.What is more,the DUV/visible(250/400 nm)rejection ratio is as high as 10^(3) with a sharp response cut-off wave length at 280 nm.Further optoelectronic analysis reveals that the photodetectors array has good uniformity and repeatability,endowing it the capability to serve as a reliable DUV light image sensor with a decent spatial resolution.These results suggest that the proposed technique offers an effective avenue for patterned growth ofβ-Ga_(2)O_(3)thin films for multifunctional DUV optoelectronic applications.

IL-17A-dependent gut microbiota is essential for regulating diet-induced disorders in mice

The gut microbiota plays a key role in obesity and related metabolic disorders, and multiple factors including diet, host genotype, and age regulate it. Many studies have examined the contribution of extrinsic factors to the regulation of the gut microbiota, but the importance of the host genetic constitution cannot be ignored. Interleukin 17A(IL-17A), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is important in the defense against infection and diseases. Here, we investigated the association among IL-17, a high-fat diet(HFD), and the gut microbiota. Mice deficient in IL-17A were resistant to diet-induced obesity and related diseases. Compared with the Ⅱ-17^(-/-)mice, wild-type(WT) mice challenged with HFD showed obvious weight fluctuations, such as those seen in type 2 diabetes, and hematological changes similar to those associated with metabolic syndrome. However, housing WT mice and Ⅱ-17a^(-/-)mice together significantly alleviated these symptoms in the WT mice. A metagenomic analysis of the mouse feces indicated that the microbial community compositions of these two groups differed before HFD feeding. The HFD mediated shifts in the gut microbial compositions, which were associated with the mouse phenotypes.We also identified potentially beneficial and harmful species present during this period, and drew networks of the most abundant species. A functional analysis indicated pathway changes in the WT and Ⅱ-17a^(-/-)mice when fed the HFD. Collectively, these data underscore the importance of the host factor IL-17 A in shaping and regulating the gut microbiota, which conversely, influences the host health.

Composition engineering of Sb_2S_3 film enabling high performance solar cells

Sb_2S_3 is a kind of stable light absorption materials with suitable band gap, promising for practical applications. Here we demonstrate that the engineering on the composition ratio enables significant improvement in the device performance. We found that the co-evaporation of sulfur or antimony with Sb_2S_3 is able to generate sulfur-or antimony-rich Sb_2S_3. This composition does not generate essential influence on the crystal structure, optical band and film formability, while the carrier concentration and transport dynamics are considerably changed. The device investigations show that sulfur-rich Sb_2S_3 film is favorable for efficient energy conversion, while antimony-rich Sb_2S_3 leads to greatly decreased device performance. With optimizations on the sulfur-rich Sb_2S_3 films, the final power conversion efficiency reaches5.8%, which is the highest efficiency in thermal evaporation derived Sb_2S_3 solar cells.

Epitranscriptomic 5-Methylcytosine Profile in PM_(2.5)-induced Mouse Pulmonary Fibrosis

Exposure of airborne particulate matter(PM)with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5μm(PM2.5)is epidemiologically associated with lung dysfunction and respiratory symptoms,including pulmonary fibrosis.However,whether epigenetic mechanisms are involved in PM2.5-induced pulmonary fibrosis is currently poorly understood.Herein,using a PM2.5-induced pulmonary fibrosis mouse model,we found that PM2.5 exposure leads to aberrant mRNA5-methylcytosine(m5C)gain and loss in fibrotic lung tissues.Moreover,we showed the m5C-mediated regulatory map of gene functions in pulmonary fibrosis after PM2.5 exposure.Several genes act as m5C gain-upregulated factors,probably critical for the development of PM2.5-induced fibrosis in mouse lungs.These genes,including Lcn2,Mmp9,Chi3l1,Adipoq,Atp5j2,Atp5l,Atpif1,Ndufb6,Fgr,Slc11 a1,and Tyrobp,are highly related to oxidative stress response,inflammatory responses,and immune system processes.Our study illustrates the first epitranscriptomic RNA m5C profile in PM2.5-induced pulmonary fibrosis and will be valuable in identifying biomarkers for PM2.5 exposure-related lung pathogenesis with translational potential.

CTAB Assisted Synthesis of CuS Microcrystals:Synthesis,Mechanism,and Electrical Properties

CuS microcrystals were successfully prepared through a mild solvothermal reaction in ethylene glycol （EG） with the assistance of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB）. An interesting morphology evolution from flower-like microspheres to hollow microspheres, and finally to smooth nanoflakes was observed when increasing the amount of CTAB. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and UV-vis spectroscopy. It was found that the amount of CTAB played an important role in determining the morphology of the CuS microcrystals. Electrical measurement reveals that the as-prepared CuS microspheres were of high conductivity, which might favor their device applications. It is expected that CuS microcrystals with controlled morphologies and structures will have important applications in solar cells. This simple but effective method could also be extended to the controlled growth of other inorganic microcrystals.
