However, there is a lack of evidence on pathogenic mechanism and signature of CY1and there is a continuous debate on CY1 therapy. Therefore, exploring the mechanism of CY1 is crucial for treatment strategies and targets for CY1 gastric cancer.Methods: In order to figure out specific driver genes and marker genes of CY1 gastric cancer, and ultimately offer clues for potential marker and risk assessment of CY1, 17 cytology-positive gastric cancer patients and 31matched cytology-negative gastric cancer patients were enrolled in this study. The enrollment criteria were based on the results of diagnostic laparoscopy staging and cytology inspection of exfoliated cells. Whole exome sequencing was then performed on tumor samples to evaluate genomic characterization of cytology-positive gastric cancer.Results: Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) algorithm identified 43 cytology-positive marker genes, while Mut Sig CV identified 42 cytology-positive specific driver genes. CD3G and CDKL2 were both driver and marker genes of CY1. Regarding mutational signatures, driver gene mutation and tumor subclone architecture, no significant differences were observed between CY1 and negative peritoneal lavege cytology(CY0).Conclusions: There might not be distinct differences between CY1 and CY0, and CY1 might represent the progression of CY0 gastric cancer rather than constituting an independent subtype. This genomic analysis will thus provide key molecular insights into CY1, which may have a direct effect on treatment recommendations for CY1and CY0 patients, and provides opportunities for genome-guided clinical trials and drug development.展开更多

文摘Cryopreservation of red blood cells(RBCs)provides great potential benefits for providing transfusion timely in emergencies.High concentrations of glycerol(20%or 40%)are used for RBC cryopreservation in current clinical practice,which results in cytotoxicity and osmotic injuries that must be carefully controlled.However,existing studies on the low-glycerol cryopreservation of RBCs still suffer from the bottleneck of low hematocrit levels,which require relatively large storage space and an extra concentration process before transfusion,making it inconvenient(time-consuming,and also may cause injury and sample lose)for clinical applications.To this end,we develop a novel method for the glycerol-free cryopreservation of human RBCs with a high final hematocrit by using trehalose as the sole cryoprotectant to dehydrate RBCs and using core–shell alginate hydrogel microfibers to enhance heat transfer during cryopreservation.Different from previous studies,we achieve the cryopreservation of human RBCs at high hematocrit(>40%)with high recovery(up to 95%).Additionally,the washed RBCs post-cryopreserved are proved to maintain their morphology,mechanics,and functional properties.This may provide a nontoxic,high-efficiency,and glycerol-free approach for RBC cryopreservation,along with potential clinical transfusion benefits.

文摘A comparative study of two force perception skill learning approaches for robot‐assisted spinal surgery,the impedance model method and the imitation learning(IL)method,is presented.The impedance model method develops separate models for the surgeon and patient,incorporating spring‐damper and bone‐grinding models.Expert surgeons'feature parameters are collected and mapped using support vector regression and image navi-gation techniques.The imitation learning approach utilises long short‐term memory networks(LSTM)and addresses accurate data labelling challenges with custom models.Experimental results demonstrate skill recognition rates of 63.61%-74.62%for the impedance model approach,relying on manual feature extraction.Conversely,the imitation learning approach achieves a force perception recognition rate of 91.06%,outperforming the impedance model on curved bone surfaces.The findings demonstrate the potential of imitation learning to enhance skill acquisition in robot‐assisted spinal surgery by eliminating the laborious process of manual feature extraction.

文摘Objective: Positive peritoneal lavege cytology(CY1) gastric cancer is featured by dismal prognosis, with high risks of peritoneal metastasis. However, there is a lack of evidence on pathogenic mechanism and signature of CY1and there is a continuous debate on CY1 therapy. Therefore, exploring the mechanism of CY1 is crucial for treatment strategies and targets for CY1 gastric cancer.Methods: In order to figure out specific driver genes and marker genes of CY1 gastric cancer, and ultimately offer clues for potential marker and risk assessment of CY1, 17 cytology-positive gastric cancer patients and 31matched cytology-negative gastric cancer patients were enrolled in this study. The enrollment criteria were based on the results of diagnostic laparoscopy staging and cytology inspection of exfoliated cells. Whole exome sequencing was then performed on tumor samples to evaluate genomic characterization of cytology-positive gastric cancer.Results: Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) algorithm identified 43 cytology-positive marker genes, while Mut Sig CV identified 42 cytology-positive specific driver genes. CD3G and CDKL2 were both driver and marker genes of CY1. Regarding mutational signatures, driver gene mutation and tumor subclone architecture, no significant differences were observed between CY1 and negative peritoneal lavege cytology(CY0).Conclusions: There might not be distinct differences between CY1 and CY0, and CY1 might represent the progression of CY0 gastric cancer rather than constituting an independent subtype. This genomic analysis will thus provide key molecular insights into CY1, which may have a direct effect on treatment recommendations for CY1and CY0 patients, and provides opportunities for genome-guided clinical trials and drug development.

文摘Perchlorate and chlorate are present in various extraterrestrial celestial bodies throughout the solar system,such as Mars,the moon,and asteroids.To date,the origin mechanisms of perchlorate and chlorate on the Martian surface have been well-established;however,relatively little attention has been cast to airless bodies.Here,we experimentally investigated the potential oxidation mechanisms of chloride to chlorate and perchlorate,such as ultraviolet irradiation under H_(2)O-and O_(2)-free conditions and mechanical pulverization processes.Individual minerals,olivine,pyroxene,ilmenite,magnetite,TiO_(2)and anhydrous ferric sulfate,and lunar regolith simulants(low Ti,CLRS-1;high-Ti,CLRS-2)and their metallic iron(Fe^( 0))bearing counterparts were examined.We found that pulverization of dry matrix material-halite mixtures,even in the presence of O_(2),does not necessarily lead to perchlorate and chlorate formation without involving water.Under photocatalytic and H_(2)O and O_(2)-free conditions,olivine and pyroxene can produce oxychlorine(ClO_(x)^(−))species,although the yields were orders of magnitude lower than those under Martian-relevant conditions.Nanophase-Fe^(0)particles in the lunar regolith and the common photocatalyst TiO_(2)can facilitate the ClO_(x)^(−)formation,but their yields were lower than those with olivine.The oxides ilmenite and magnetite did not efficiently contribute to ClO_(x)^(−)production.Our results highlight the critical role of H_(2)O in the oxidation chloride to chlorate and perchlorate,and provide essential insights into the environmental influence on the formation of oxychlorine species on different celestial bodies.

文摘Verticillium dahliae is an important soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes great yield losses in many cash crops.Effectors of this fungus are known to regulate plant immunity but the mechanism much remains unclear.A glycine-rich nuclear effector,VdCE51,was able to suppress immune responses in tobacco against Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.This effector was a required factor for full virulence of V.dahliae,and its nuclear localization was a requisite for suppressing plant immunity.The thioredoxin GhTRXH2,identified as a positive regulator of plant immunity,was a host target of VdCE51.Our findings show a virulence regulating mechanism whereby the secreted nuclear effector VdCE51 interferes with the transcription of PR genes,and the SA signaling pathway by inhibiting the accumulation of GhTRXH2,thus suppressing plant immunity.

文摘BACKGROUND Timely and accurate evaluation of the patient's pulmonary arterial pressure(PAP)is of great significance for the treatment of congenital heart disease.Currently,there is no non-invasive gold standard method for evaluating PAP.AIM To assess the prognostic value of lipocalin-2(LCN2)in relation to PAP in patients with congenital heart disease associated with pulmonary artery hypertension.METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 69 pediatric patients diagnosed with ventricular septal defects.The patients’clinical and laboratory data were collected.The serum LCN2 concentrations were compared between the pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH)group and the nonPAH group.The correlation of LCN2 concentration with PAH classification was evaluated using binary logistic regression analysis.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic potential of LCN2 for PAH.RESULTS Serum LCN2 concentration significantly correlated with patients’mean PAP(r=0.544,P<0.001),but not correlated with creatinine(P=0.446)or blood urea nitrogen(P=0.747).LCN2 levels were significantly correlated with PAH in both univariate[odds ratio(OR)1.107,95%CI:1.033-1.185,P=0.004)]and multivariate regression analysis(OR 1.150,95%CI:1.027-1.288,P=0.015).ROC curve analysis revealed an area under the curve of 0.783 for LCN2.At the cutoff value of 19.42 ng/mL,the sensitivity and specificity of LCN2 for diagnosing PAH is 90.19%and 55.56%,respectively.LCN2 concentration also significantly correlated with the post-repair mean PAP in patients with congenital heart disease(r=0.532,P=0.009).CONCLUSION LCN2 is emerging as a candidate biomarker for assessing PAP in patients with congenital heart disease.Its high sensitivity in diagnosing PAH makes it a valuable tool in patient management.

文摘The photovoltaic(PV)water electrolysis method currently stands as the most promising approach for green hydrogen production.The rapid iteration of photovoltaic technologies has significantly affected on the technical and economic evaluation for photovoltaic hydrogen production.In this work,the photovoltaic hydrogen production of three most advanced silicon photovoltaic technologies is systematically compared for the first time under the climatic conditions of the Kucha region.All-weather stable hydrogen production control system with optimal charging and discharging strategies is constructed to realize stable and efficient hydrogen energy production.Seven machine learning(ML)algorithms are used to forecast the performance in power generation and hydrogen production of a 100 MW photovoltaic hydrogen production and energy storage(PH-S)system throughout its operational life.The long short-term memory(LSTM)algorithm exhibits the best performance,achieving mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.0415,root mean square error(RMSE)of 0.0891,and coefficient of determination(R2)of 0.8402.In terms of cost-effectiveness,heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer(HJT)PV technology achieves the lowest levelized cost of electricity(LCOE)and hydrogen(LCOH)at 0.025$/kWh and 6.95$/kg,respectively.According to the sensitivity analysis,when the cost of proton exchange membrane electrolysis(PEMEC)reduced 50%,the LCOH for PH-S system decreased 21.40%.This study provides valuable insights for the practical implementation of large-scale photovoltaic hydrogen production and cost reduction in PH-S systems.
