文摘In response to local sudden disasters,e.g.,high-rise office or residential building fire disasters,road occupation can cause conflicts,and traffic directions may be opposite between evacuation vehicles and rescue vehicles;moreover,lane contraflow can be adopted to meet these surge traffic demands.However,lane contraflow that provides more roads for rescue vehicles reduces the traffic supply in the evacuation direction.It is unclear how to control the number of contraflow roads used by rescue vehicles to coordinate evacuation and rescue traffic operations.Here,we adjust the critical rescue traffic volume of reversing the normal road traffic direction to control rescue contraflow.Additionally,we propose a multiobjective mixed integer linear programming formulation for evacuation and rescue traffic optimization.Additionally,considering that the upper limit of the critical rescue traffic volume is unknown and that the proposed formulation includes multiple objectives and multi-priority vehicle classes,a three-stage solving algorithm is developed.Next,a large-scale evacuation and rescue traffic optimization result dataset is obtained for the Nguyen–Dupuis road network,and the impact of different rescue contraflow control plans on evacuation and rescue traffic is studied based on data-driven sta-tistical analysis.The results show that by adjusting the optimal rescue traffic route,the critical rescue traffic volume for reversing the normal road traffic direction can reduce the interference of rescue traffic to evacuation traffic operation performance without reducing rescue traffic operation performance,and can be used to coor-dinate evacuation and rescue traffic operation under rescue contraflow.

文摘Background:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Shenfu injection(SFI)combined with standard bundle treatment in septic patients with hypoperfusion.Method:This study was a multi-center,randomized,open-label,controlled trial conducted in four teaching hos-pitals in China.The septic patients with hypoperfusion and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome with Yang-Qi deficiency were enrolled from January 2019,through September 2020.Eligible patients were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either receive 60 mL of SFI infusion per day plus standard treatment(SFI group)or stan-dard bundle treatment alone(control group).The primary outcome was 28-day all-cause mortality.Secondary outcomes were 90-day all-cause mortality time to weaning from mechanical ventilation,time to weaning from vasopressors,time to discharge from the ICU and hospital,and laboratory results after randomization.Results:A total of 188 patients completed the trail.This study revealed that the results of the SFI group and the control groups were not statistically significant in 28-day all-cause mortality(10.6%vs.20.2%,respectively;P=0.106).The infusion of SFI was associated with a significant reduction in the duration of vasopressor use(median=4.0 days,interquartile range[IQR]:2.0 days-6.0 days vs.median=5.0 days,IQR:3.0 days-8.0 days,respectively;P=0.043).Patients in the SFI group had statistically greater reductions in plasma lactate levels compared with those in the control group at the first 12 h(median=1.1 mmol/L,IQR:0.3-2.0 mmol/L vs.median=0.0 mmol/L,IQR:−0.2 to 0.8 mmol/L,respectively;P<0.001)and 24 h(median=1.4 mmol/L,IQR:0.3-2.2 mmol/L vs.median=0.4 mmol/L,IQR:−0.4 to 1.6 mmol/L,respectively;P=0.001).Conclusion:SFI plus standard therapy did not significantly decrease 28-day all-cause mortality for septic patients with hypoperfusion and TCM syndrome with Yang-Qi deficiency.

文摘On-tissue chemical derivatization(OTCD)effectively enhances ionization efficiency of low abundant and poorly ionized functional molecules to improve detection sensitivity and coverage of mass spectrometry imaging(MSI).Combination OTCD and MSI provides a novel strategy for visualizing previously undisclosed metabolic heterogeneity in tumor.Herein,we present a method to visualize heterogeneous metabolism of oxylipins within tumor by coupling OTCD with airflow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization(AFADESI)-MSI.Taking Girard’s P as a derivatization reagent,easily ionized hydrazide and quaternary amine groups were introduced into the structure of carbonyl metabolites via condensation reaction.Oxylipins,including 127 fatty aldehydes(FALs)and 71 oxo fatty acids(FAs),were detected and imaged in esophageal cancer xenograft with AFADESI-MSI after OTCD.Then t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding and random forest were exploited to precisely locate the distribution of oxylipins in heterogeneous tumor tissue.With this method,we surprisingly found almost all FALs and oxo FAs significantly accumulated in the core region of tumor,and exhibited a gradual increase trend in tumor over time.These results reveal spatiotemporal heterogeneity of oxylipins in tumor progression,highlighting the value of OTCD combined with MSI to gain deeper insights into understanding tumor metabolism.

文摘Constitutive activation of RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway(MAPK pathway)frequently occurs in many cancers harboring RAS or RAF oncogenic mutations.Because of the paradoxical activation induced by a single use of BRAF or MEK inhibitors,dual-target RAF and MEK treatment is thought to be a promising strategy.In this work,we evaluated erianin is a novel inhibitor of CRAF and MEK1/2 kinases,thus suppressing constitutive activation of the MAPK signaling pathway induced by BRAF V600E or RAS mutations.KinaseProfiler enzyme profiling,surface plasmon resonance(SPR),isothermal titration calorimetry(ITC),cellular thermal shift assay,computational docking,and molecular dynamics simulations were utilized to screen and identify erianin binding to CRAF and MEK1/2.Kinase assay,luminescent ADP detection assay,and enzyme kinetics assay were investigated to identify the efficiency of erianin in CRAF and MEK1/2 kinase activity.Notably,erianin suppressed BRAF V600E or RAS mutant melanoma and colorectal cancer cell by inhibiting MEK1/2 and CRAF but not BRAF kinase activity.Moreover,erianin attenuated melanoma and colorectal cancer in vivo.Overall,we provide a promising leading compound for BRAF V600E or RAS mutant melanoma and colorectal cancer through dual targeting of CRAF and MEK1/2.

文摘Ethanol solution as a disinfectant has been widely used in various fields.However,it has a significant bactericidal capability only when the volume fraction of ethanol is around 70%-75%.For such high concentration of ethanol solution,it has an irritating smell.When it is used for applications such as wound disinfection,it causes a stinging sensation.Low concentrations of ethanol solution are less irritating,but it is also less effective at killing bacteria.In this study,an idea for producing a green,efficient and less irritating disinfectant is proposed.It is based on a plasma-activated low-concentration ethanol solution(PAES).It is found that the plasma-activated 10% volume fraction of ethanol solution can kill more than seven orders of magnitude of Escherichia coli,while the untreated 10% volume fraction of ethanol solution has no bactericidal effect.Besides,the PAES's activity remains unchanged after being stored at -20℃ for three days.Further investigation shows that new compositions including peracetic acid,peroxynitrite,hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid are detected in the PAES,which together are playing the main role of the excellent and prolonged bactericidal effect.

文摘Determining the navigation line is critical for the automatic navigation of agricultural robots in the farmland.In this research,considering a wheat field as the typical scenario,a novel navigation line extraction algorithm based on semantic segmentation is proposed.The data containing horizontal parallax,height,and grayscale information(HHG)is constructed by combining re-encoded depth data and red-green-blue(RGB)data.The HHG,RGB,and depth data are used to achieve scene recognition and navigation line extraction for a wheat field.The method includes two main steps.First,the semantic segmentation of the wheat,ground,and background are performed using a fully convolutional network(FCN).Second,the navigation line is fitted in the camera coordinate system on the basis of the semantic segmentation result and the principle of camera pinhole imaging.Our segmentation model is trained using 508 randomly selected images from a data set,and the model is tested on 199 images.When labelled data are used as the reference benchmark,the mean intersection over union(mIoU)of the HHG data is greater than 95%,which is the highest among the three types of data.The semantic segmentation methods based on the RGB and HHG data show higher navigation line extraction accuracy rates(with the absolute value of the angle deviation less than 5)than the compared methods.The mean and standard deviation of the angle deviation of the two methods are within 0.1and 2.0,while the mean and standard deviation of the distance deviation are less than 30 mm and 60 mm,respectively.These values meet the basic requirements of agricultural machinery field navigation.The novelty of this work is the proposal of a navigation line extraction algorithm based on semantic segmentation in wheat fields.This method is high in accuracy and robustness to interference from crop occlusion.
