Correlation Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Types and Influencing Factors of Asthmatic Bronchitis in Children

Objective:To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types and the influencing factors of asthmatic bronchitis in children,as well as to provide clinical syndrome differentiation basis and reference for the treatment of children with asthmatic bronchitis.Methods:The clinical data of 197 inpatients with asthmatic bronchitis in our hospital from March 2021 to March 2022 were collected,referring to“Zhu Futang Practical Pediatrics”(7th Edition,2002)and“Chinese Medicine Industry Standards-Standards for Diagnosis and Efficacy of Pediatric Diseases and Syndromes of Traditional Chinese Medicine”(1994,State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine)for diagnosis,classification,and analysis of TCM syndrome types and the influencing factors of asthmatic bronchitis in children.Results:(i)cold asthma syndrome contributed to the majority of TCM syndrome types of pediatric asthmatic bronchitis;(ii)gender had a great influence on TCM syndromes types in children with asthmatic bronchitis,and the differences among the TCM syndrome types were statistically significant(P<0.05);(iii)there was no significant difference in the distribution of TCM syndrome types of pediatric asthmatic bronchitis among different age groups(P>0.05);(iv)birth status had no effect on the distribution of TCM syndrome types of pediatric asthmatic bronchitis(P>0.05);(v)no significant correlation was observed between the mode of delivery and the distribution of TCM syndrome types in children with asthmatic bronchitis(P>0.05);(vi)children with cold asthma syndrome,heat asthma syndrome,and mixed cold and heat syndrome were not breastfed,and there was no significant difference in the feeding methods of children with mixed deficiency and excess syndrome(P>0.05);(vii)no significant correlation was observed between the TCM syndrome types of pediatric asthmatic bronchitis and family history of asthma/allergy(P>0.05);(viii)a significant correlation was observed between different TCM syndrome types and history of drug and food allergy(P<0.05);(ix)normal or high eosinophil percentage was commonly observed in children with asthmatic bronchitis,and there was no significant difference among the different TCM syndrome types(P>0.05).Conclusion:The TCM syndrome types of pediatric asthmatic bronchitis are related to gender,feeding history,allergy history,and other factors,which may be influencing factors of the TCM syndrome types of pediatric asthmatic bronchitis.

Advances and Challenges in Two‑Dimensional Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Perovskites Toward High‑Performance Light‑Emitting Diodes

Two-dimensional(2D)perovskites are known as one of the most promising luminescent materials due to their structural diversity and outstanding optoelectronic properties.Compared with 3D perovskites,2D perovskites have natural quantum well structures,large exciton binding energy(Eb)and outstanding thermal stability,which shows great potential in the next-generation displays and solidstate lighting.In this review,the fundamental structure,photophysical and electrical properties of 2D perovskite films were illustrated systematically.Based on the advantages of 2D perovskites,such as special energy funnel process,ultrafast energy transfer,dense film and low efficiency roll-off,the remarkable achievements of 2D perovskite light-emitting diodes(PeLEDs)are summarized,and exciting challenges of 2D perovskite are also discussed.An outlook on further improving the efficiency of pure-blue PeLEDs,enhancing the operational stability of PeLEDs and reducing the toxicity to push this field forward was also provided.This review provides an overview of the recent developments of 2D perovskite materials and LED applications,and outlining challenges for achieving the high-performance devices.

HyperRefiner:a refined hyperspectral pansharpening network based on the autoencoder and self-attention

Deep learning has been developed to generate promising super resolution hyperspectral imagery by fusing hyperspectral imagery with the panchromatic band.However,it is still challenging to maintain edge spectral information in the necessary upsampling processes of these approaches,and diffcult to guarantee effective feature extraction.This study proposes a pansharpening network denoted as HyperRefiner that consists of,(1)a well performing upsampling network SRNet,in which the dual attention block and refined attention block are cascaded to accomplish the extraction and fusion of features;(2)a spectral autoencoder that is embedded to perform dimensionality reduction under constrained feature extraction;and(3)the optimization module which performs self-attention at the pixel and feature levels.A comparisonwithseveral state-of-the-art models reveals that HyperRefiner can improve the quality of the fused image.Specifically,compared to the single-head HyperTransformer and with the Chikusei dataset,our network improved the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio,Erreur Relative Globale Adimensionnelle de Synthese and Spectral Angle Mapper by 0.86%,3.62%,and 2.09%,and reduce the total memory,floating point operations,model parameters and computation time by 41%,75%,86%and 46%,respectively.The experimental results show that HyperRefiner outperforms several networks and demonstrates its usefulness in hyperspectral image fusion.The code is publicly available athttps://github.com/zsspo/Fusion_HyperRefiner.

Whole-Brain Direct Inputs to and Axonal Projections from Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons in the Mouse Primary Auditory Area

Neurons in the primary auditory area(AUDp)innervate multiple brain regions with long-range projections while receiving informative inputs for diverse functions.However,the brain-wide connections of these neurons have not been comprehensively investigated.Here,we simultaneously applied virus-based anterograde and retrograde tracing,labeled the connections of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse AUDp,and acquired whole-brain information using a dual-channel fuorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography system.Quantified results showed that the two types of neurons received inputs with similar patterns but sent heterogeneous projections to downstream regions.In the isocortex,functionally different areas consistently sent feedback-dominated projections to these neurons,with concomitant laterallydominated projections from the sensory and limbic cortices to inhibitory neurons.In subcortical regions,the dorsal and medial parts of the non-lemniscal auditory thalamus(AT)were reciprocally connected to the AUDp,while the ventral part contained the most fibers of passage from the excitatory neurons and barely sent projections back,indicating the regional heterogeneity of the AUDp-AT circuit.Our results reveal details of the whole-brain network and provide new insights for further physiological and functional studies of the AUDp.
