Evaluation of Different Glycemic Control Regimens on the Prognosis of Coronary Heart Disease Combined with Type 2 Diabetes

Aim: To explore the safety and effectiveness of combining dapagliflozin and metformin with sitagliptin in patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar control is below the standard. Method: From January 2022 to January 2023, 100 patients with poorly controlled blood sugar among those hospitalized with type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease were selected. They were divided into an experimental group of 55 cases (combined with sitagliptin) and a control group of 45 cases (combined with insulin or glimepiride) based on dapagliflozin and metformin and followed up for 1 year. The rates of reaching blood sugar targets, heart function indicators, inflammatory factor results, and major adverse cardiovascular events were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in the 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up blood sugar indicators (FPG, 2hPG, HbA1c levels) and heart function indicators (NT-proBNP, LVEF, LVEDD) (P > 0.05). After 12 months of treatment, the levels of IL-6, CRP, and IL-8 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P 0.05). Conclusion: Combining sitagliptin with dapagliflozin and metformin in patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes who have poor blood sugar control can effectively manage blood sugar, reduce inflammation levels, and decrease the incidence of cardiac death, making it worthy of clinical application and promotion.

Global population estimate and conservation gap analysis for the Nordmann's Greenshank(Tringa guttifer)

Nordmann's Greenshank(Tringa guttifer)is a globally endangered species that has received little research attention.It is threatened by rapid habitat loss,an incomplete network of protected sites,and lack of long-term data on population dynamics.Citizen science data can be combined with survey data to support population estimation and conservation gap analysis.From 2020 to 2021,Nordmann's Greenshank was surveyed in Tiaozini,Xiaoyangkou,and Dongling on the southern coast of Jiangsu Province,China,and the global population of the species was re-evaluated using the data obtained.We integrated citizen science data from eBird and the China Bird Report from 2000 to 2020 with the survey results to identify important habitats harboring over 1%of its total population,and compared this data with existing protected areas to identify gaps in its global conservation.Our survey found that Tiaozini supported at least 1194 individuals.Consequently,its global population was reestimated to be 1500-2000.Moreover,45 important habitats were identified based on citizen data and survey results.Although 44.4%and 50.0%of the priority sites in the world and China,respectively,are located outside protected areas,the Conservation Effectiveness Index(C)is 68.4%and 71.1%,respectively,showing that the current coverage of protected areas for this part of its range is reasonable.This study presents the most complete and recent population data to date.Tiaozini is the most important migration stopover site for Nordmann's Greenshanks.The species is under threat in terms of breeding,wintering,and stopover sites.Therefore,we suggest improving monitoring,establishing new protected sites to complete the habitat protection network,and improving the effectiveness of existing habitat protection strategies,including further developing high tide roosting sites.

Research on Data Extraction and Analysis of Software Defect in IoT Communication Software

Software defect feature selection has problems of feature space dimensionality reduction and large search space.This research proposes a defect prediction feature selection framework based on improved shuffled frog leaping algorithm(ISFLA).Using the two-level structure of the framework and the improved hybrid leapfrog algorithm's own advantages,the feature values are sorted,and some features with high correlation are selected to avoid other heuristic algorithms in the defect prediction that are easy to produce local The case where the convergence rate of the optimal or parameter optimization process is relatively slow.The framework improves generalization of predictions of unknown data samples and enhances the ability to search for features related to learning tasks.At the same time,this framework further reduces the dimension of the feature space.After the contrast simulation experiment with other common defect prediction methods,we used the actual test data set to verify the framework for multiple iterations on Internet of Things(IoT)system platform.The experimental results show that the software defect prediction feature selection framework based on ISFLA is very effective in defect prediction of IoT communication software.This framework can save the testing time of IoT communication software,effectively improve the performance of software defect prediction,and ensure the software quality.

Design of an augmented reality display based on polarization grating

A new optical system for an augmented reality(AR) display is proposed in this paper.The optical system mainly includes a ray deflector, coupling input grating, optical waveguide, and coupling output grating.Both the ray deflector and the coupling input grating are designed based on the diffraction characteristics of the polarization grating, and the coupling output grating is the Bragg reflection grating.Compared with other AR schemes, this AR optical system not only reduces the number of projections from two to one, but also improves the efficiency of light coupling into the optical waveguides.The energy loss is reduced by utilizing the single-order diffraction characteristics of the polarization grating in its coupling input structure.The light deflector uses the polarization selectivity of the polarization grating and the characteristics of the rotating light of the twisted nematic liquid crystal layer to realize beam deflection.The working principle of the optical system is experimentally and theoretically demonstrated.

类受体激酶(RLKs)是一类数量庞大的跨膜蛋白激酶家族,在植物细胞之间以及细胞与环境的信号交流中发挥重要作用。RLKs的胞外区能特异识别并结合胞外信号和环境刺激因子,并通过与共受体互作将信号传递至细胞内,从而参与调控植物生长发育及环境适应性。目前已发现水稻(Oryza sativa)基因组至少含有1131个RLKs成员,接近于拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)中RLKs数目的2倍。根据胞外区的基序和结构域特征,水稻RLKs被划分为20多个亚家族。近年来,虽然有一些RLKs胞外区的配体和激酶区的作用蛋白被相继报道,但大多数水稻RLKs的生物学功能仍不明确。该文详细总结了近年来有关水稻RLKs结构和功能的重要研究进展,并展望了RLKs未来的研究方向,旨在为深入揭示RLKs的功能以及绿色高产水稻分子设计育种奠定理论基础。

CYP1B1-derived epoxides modulate the TRPA1channel in chronic pain

Pain is often debilitating,and current treatments are neither universally efficacious nor without risks.Transient receptor potential(TRP)ion channels offer alternative targets for pain relief,but little is known about the regulation or identities of endogenous TRP ligands that affect inflammation and pain.Here,transcriptomic and targeted lipidomic analysis of damaged tissue from the mouse spinal nerve ligation(SNL)-induced chronic pain model revealed a time-dependent increase in Cyp1b1 mRNA and a concurrent accumulation of 8,9-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid(EET)and 19,20-EpDPA post injury.Production of 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA by human/mouse CYP1B1 was confirmed in vitro,and 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA selectively and dose-dependently sensitized and activated TRPA1 in overexpressing HEK-293 cells and Trpa1-expressing/AITC-responsive cultured mouse peptidergic dorsal root ganglia(DRG)neurons.TRPA1 activation by 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA was attenuated by the antagonist A967079,and mouse TRPA1 was more responsive to 8,9-EET and 19,20-EpDPA than human TRPA1.This latter effect mapped to residues Y933,G939,and S921 of TRPA1.Intra-plantar injection of 19,20-EpDPA induced acute mechanical,but not thermal hypersensitivity in mice,which was also blocked by A967079.Similarly,Cyp1b1-knockout mice displayed a reduced chronic pain phenotype following SNL injury.These data suggest that manipulation of the CYP1B1-oxylipin-TRPA1 axis might have therapeutic benefit.

Talachalasins A-C,Undescribed Cytochalasans with a 16β-Methyl or 2-Oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one unit from the Deep-Sea-Derived Fungus Talaromyces muroii sp.SCSIO 40439

Comprehensive Summary Talachalasins A-C(1-3),three new cytochalasans(CYTs),were isolated from deep-sea-derived fungus Talaromyces muroii sp.SCSIO 40439.The structures of 1-3,including absolute configurations,were determined based on HRESIMS,NMR spectroscopic data,ECD comparison,and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.Talachalasins A-C(1-3)represented the first examples of cytochalasans possessing a unique 16β-methyl group,distinct from>500 reported CYTs.Talachalasin C(3)was an unprecedented 20,21-seco-cytochalasans characterized by a 2-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one unit.Talachalasin A(1)displayed moderate cytotoxic activity against four tumor cell lines(IC_(50)3.40-10.02μM).Talachalasin B(2)showed comparable anti-RSV and HSV-1 activities(IC5012.5μM or IC5020.0μM).

Photoexcitation dynamics and energy engineering in supramolecular doping of organic conjugated molecules

Doping and blending strategies are crucial means to precisely control the excited states and energy level in conjugated molecular systems.However,effective models and platforms are rarely proposed to systematically explore the effects of the formation of trapped doped centers on heterogeneous structures,energy level and ultrafast photophysical process.Herein,for deeply understanding the impact of molecular doping in film energy levels and photoexcitation dynamics,we set a supramolecular N-B coordination composed by the conjugated molecules of pyridine functionalized diarylfluorene(host material),named as ODPF-Phpy and ODPF-(Phpy)2,and the molecule of tris(perfluorophenyl)borane(BCF)(guest material).The generation of the molecular-level coordination bond increased the binding energy of N atoms and tuned the band-gap,leading to a new fluorescent emission center with longer excitation wavelength and emission wavelength.The intermolecular Forster resonance energy transfer(FRET)in blending flms make it present inconsistent fluorescent behaviors compared to that in solution.The charge transfer(CT)state of N-B coordinated compounds and the changed dielectric constant of blending films resulted in a large PL spectra red-shift with the increased dopant ratio,causing a wide-tunable fluorescent color.The excited state behaviors of two compounds in blending system was further investigated by the transient absorption(TA)spectroscopy.Finally,we found supramolecular coordination blending can effectively improve the films'photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)and conductivity.We believe this exploration in the internal coordination mechanisms would deepen the insights about doped semiconductors and is helpful in developing novel high-efficient fluorescent systems.

Aluminium is essential for root growth and development of tea plants(Camellia sinensis)^∞

On acid soils,the trivalent aluminium ion(Al3+)predominates and is very rhizotoxic to most plant species.For some native plant species adapted to acid soils including tea(Camellia sinensis),Al3+has been regarded as a beneficial mineral element.In this study,we discovered that Al3+is actually essential for tea root growth and development in all the tested varieties.Aluminum ion promoted new root growth in five representative tea varieties with dose-dependent responses to Al3+availability.In the absence of Al3+,the tea plants failed to generate new roots,and the root tips were damaged within 1 d of Al deprivation.Struc-tural analysis of root tips demonstrated that Al was required for root meristem development and activity.In situ morin@staining of Al3+in roots revealed that Al mainly localized to nuclei in root meristem cells,but then gradually moved to the cytosol when Al3+was subsequently withdrawn.This movement of Al3+from nuclei to cytosols was accompanied by exacerbated DNA damage,which suggests that the nuclear-targeted Al primarily acts to maintain DNA integrity.Taken together,these results provide novel evidence that Al3+is essential for root growth in tea plants through maintenance of DNA integrity in meristematic cells.

Erosion behavior and failure mechanism of Ti/TiAlN multilayer coatings eroded by silica sand and glass beads

Severe erosion by hard particles is a crucial problem to engine blades when aircraft take off and land in harsh environments, especially for the developed lightweight titanium alloy components. Here, we deposited the Ti/TiAlN multilayer coatings with various cycles on Ti–6 Al–4 V substrates by a home-made hybrid multisource cathodic arc system. The effects of the silica sand and glass beads on erosion behavior of the coatings were focused. Results showed that the Ti/TiAlN multilayer coatings eroded by the silica sand exhibited the predominant "layer by layer" failure mechanism. In particular, increasing the number of cycles led to the dramatic increase in erosion rate for Ti/TiAlN multilayer coatings, due to the deterioration of their mechanical properties. Different from the silica sand case, however, the erosion rate of the coatings treated by glass beads indicated faint dependence upon the number of cycles, where the coating failure was dominated by the "piece by piece" failure mechanism. Noted that the Ti layers along with the formed interfaces enhanced the erosion resistance of the coatings, although the failure mechanisms were differently eroded by silica sand and glass beads. Meanwhile, the Ti layers and interfaces hindered the propagation of radial cracks and restrained the lateral cracks within one single TiAlN layer.

Characterization of the soybean Gm ALMT family genes and the function of Gm ALMT5 in response to phosphate starvation

A potential mechanism to enhance utilization of sparingly soluble forms of phosphorus （P） is the root secretion of malate, which is mainly mediated by the ALMT gene family in plants. In this study, a total of 34 GmALMT genes were identified in the soybean genome. Expression patterns diverged considerably among GmALMTs in response to phosphate （Pi） starvation in leaves, roots and flowers, with expression altered by P availability in 26 of the ：34 GmALMTs. One root-specific GmALMT whose expression was significantly enhanced by Pi-starvation, GmALMTS, was studied in more detail to determine its possible role in soybean P nutrition. Analysis of GmALMT5 tissue expression patterns, subcellular localization, and malate exudation from transgenic soybean hairy rootsoverexpressing GmALMT5, demonstrated that GmALMT5 is a plasma membrane protein that mediates malate efflux from roots. Furthermore, both growth and P content of transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing GmALMT5 were significantly increased when sparingly soluble Ca-P was used as the external P source. Taken together, these results indicate that members of the soybean GmALMT gene family exhibit diverse responses to Pi starvation. One member of this family, GmALMT5, might contribute to soybean P efficiency by enhancing utilization of sparingly soluble P sources under P limited conditions.

Long-term tribocorrosion resistance and failure tolerance of multilayer carbon-based coatings

Current tribocorrosion research of metallic materials and their surface protective coatings mainly focuses on their short-term properties,with test time of 0.5‒2.0 h and a sliding distance 50‒500 m,which may significantly deviate from the practical long-term service condition and thus cause a catastrophe of marine equipments.In this study,three carbon-based multilayer coatings(Ti/DLC,TiC_(x)/DLC,and Ti‒TiC_(x)/DLC)were deposited on S32750 substrates,and both short-term and long-term tribocorrosion behaviors were investigated.The experimental results indicate that the coatings substantially improve the tribocorrosion resistance of the S32750 stainless steel.During the short-term tribocorrosion test,TiC_(x)/DLC exhibited the best tribocorrosion resistance owing to its high hardness.During the long-term tribocorrosion test,however,Ti‒TiC_(x)/DLC coating indicated the best anti-tribocorrosion performance owing to its excellent fracture toughness together with high hardness.Moreover,under 5 N,Ti‒TiC_(x)/DLC can withstand a long-term test of more than 24 h.Additionally,under a higher load of 20 N,the Ti‒TiC_(x)/DLC with a corresponding sliding distance of approximately 1,728 m maintained a low friction coefficient of approximately 0.06.However,the coating was completely worn out;this is attributable to the formation of tribocorrosion products consisting of graphitized carbon and nanocrystalline Fe_(x)O_(y).

Decentralized adaptive iterative learning control for interconnected systems with uncertainties

In many applications, the system dynamics allows the decomposition into lower dimensional subsystems with interconnections among them. This decomposition is motivated by the ease and flexibility of the controller design for each subsystem. In this paper, a decentralized model reference adaptive iterative learning control scheme is developed for interconnected systems with model uncertainties. The interconnections in the dynamic equations of each subsystem are considered with unknown boundaries. The proposed controller of each subsystem depends only on local state variables without any information exchange with other subsystems. The adaptive parameters are updated along iteration axis to com- pensate the interconnections among subsystems. It is shown that by using the proposed decentralized controller, the states of the subsystems can track the desired reference model states iteratively. Simulation results demonstrate that, utilizing the proposed adaptive controller, the tracking error for each subsystem converges along the iteration axis.

Unveiling the Effects of Interchain Hydrogen Bonds on Solution Gelation and Mechanical Properties of Diarylfluorene-Based Semiconductor Polymers

The intrinsically rigid and limited strain of most conjugated polymers has encouraged us to optimize the extensible properties of conjugated polymers.Herein,learning from the hydrogen bonds in glucose,which were facilitated to the toughness enhancement of cellulose,we introduced interchain hydrogen bonds to polydiarylfluorene by amide-containing side chains.Through tuning the copolymerization ratio,we systematically investigated their influence on the hierarchical condensed structures,rheology behavior,tensile performances,and optoelectronic properties of conjugated polymers.Compared to the reference copolymers with a low ratio of amide units,copolymers with 30%and 40%amide units present a feature of the shearthinning process that resembled the non-Newtonian fluid,which was enabled by the interchain dynamic hydrogen bonds.Besides,we developed a practical and universal method for measuring the intrinsic mechanical properties of conjugated polymers.We demonstrated the significant impact of hydrogen bonds in solution gelation,material crystallization,and thin film stretchability.Impressively,the breaking elongation for P4 was even up to~30%,which confirmed the partially enhanced film ductility and toughness due to the increased amide groups.Furthermore,polymer light-emitting devices(PLEDs)based on these copolymers presented comparable performances and stable electroluminescence(EL).Thin films of these copolymers also exhibited random laser emission with the threshold as low as 0.52μJ/cm^(2),suggesting the wide prospective application in the field of flexible optoelectronic devices.

Enhancement of morphological and emission stability of deep-blue small molecular emitter via a universal side-chain coupling strategy for optoelectronic device

Film morphology of emissive layers is crucial to the performance and stability of solution-processable organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs). Compared to the interpenetration of conjugated polymer chain,small molecular emitter with a flexible side chain always presents easily aggregation upon external treatment, and caused π-electronic coupling, which is undesirable for the efficiency and stability of deep-blue OLEDs. Herein, we proposed a side-chain coupling strategy to enhance the film morphological an emission stability of solution-processable small molecular deep-blue emitter. In contrary to “parent” MC8 TPA,the crosslinkable styryl and vinyl units were introduced as ended unit at the side-chain of Cm TPA and OEYTPA. Interestingly, Cm TPA and OEYTPA films present a relatively stable morphology and uniform deep-blue emission after thermal annealing(160 ℃) in the atmosphere, different to the discontinuous MC8 TPA annealed film. Besides, compared to the Cm TPA and OEYTPA ones, serious polaron formation in the MC8 TPA annealed film also negative to the deep-blue emission, according to transient absorption analysis. Therefore, both Cm TPA and OEYTPA annealed film obtained at 140 ℃ present an excellent deep-blue ASE behavior with a 445 nm, but absence for MC8 TPA ones, associated with the disruption of annealed films. Finally, enhancement of device performance based on Cm TPA and OEYTPA film(~40%)after thermal annealing with a similar performance curves also confirmed the assumption above. Therefore, these results also supported the effectiveness of our side-chain coupling strategy for optoelectronic applications.

Alkyl-chain branched effect on the aggregation and photophysical behavior of polydiarylfluorenes toward stable deep-blue electroluminescence and efficient amplified spontaneous emission

The control of the condensed superstructure of light-emitting conjugated polymers(LCPs)is a crucial factor to obtain high performance and stable organic optoelectronic devices.Side-chain engineering strategy is an effective platform to tune inter chain aggregation and photophysical behaviour of LCPs.Herein,we systematically investigated the alkyl-chain branched effecton the conformational transition and photophysical behaviour of polydiarylfluorenes toward efficient blue optoelectronic devices.The branched side chain will improve materials solubility to inhibit interchain aggregation in solution according to DLS and optical analysis,which is useful to obtain high quality film.Therefore,our branched PEODPF,POYDPF pristine film present high luminance efficiency of 36.1%and 39.6%,enhanced about 20%relative to that of PODPF.Compared to the liner-type sides'chain,these branched chains also suppress chain planarization and improve film morphological stability effectively.Interestingly,the branched polymer also had excellent stable amplified spontaneous emission(ASE)behaviour with low threshold(4.72μJ/cm2)and a center peak of 465 nm,even thermal annealing at 220℃in the air atmosphere.Therefore,side-chain branched strategy for LCPs is an effective means to control interchain aggregation,film morphology and photophysical property of LCPs.
