Background The personnel building of public health is the key to improving the public health system and enhancing the emergency response capability of public health emergencies. Objective The study aims to analyse the status, advantages and deficiencies of human resources for public health in Beijing after public health emergencies. Then, the study put forward suggestions to optimise the construction of human resources for public health in Beijing. Methods The data on the sum of public health workforce, disaggregated by age, academic qualifications and job title, was collected from 2016 to 2021 Basic Information Survey on Manpower of Health Institutions in Beijing and the Compendium of Statistics on Community Health Work in Beijing. The data was collated between June and September in 2022 with the aims of analysing the sum, structure and configuration of human resources for professional and grassroots-level public health in Beijing in the context of public health emergencies. Results From 2019 to 2021, the sum of human resources for public health in Beijing's professional public health institutions increased from 15 157 to 16 048. Additionally, the percentage of those with postgraduate qualifications increased by 0.93 percent, while the percentage of those with senior and intermediate titles increased by 2.29 and 3.87 percent, respectively. The sum of human resources for public health at the grassroots level increased from 3 701 to 4 017. Among these, the percentage of those with bachelor's degree or above increased by 5.36 percent, while the percentage of those with senior and intermediate titles increased by 0.72 and 1.70 percent, respectively. And the ratio of CDC force per 10 000 population decreased from 1.68 to 1.57, the number of health personnel in professional public health institutions per 1 000 population increased from 0.70 to 0.73, the number of grassroots public health personnel per 10 000 population increased from 1.72 to 1.84. Conclusion After the public health emergency, the sum of human resources for public health has increased in Beijing, yet staffing gaps persist. The echelon of public health institutions has been reinforced, although the quality of human resources for public health in different institutions varies considerably. Furthermore, the structure of titles of human resources for public health is becoming more logical. It is recommended that public health staffing standards be clarified to fill the gap in human resources for public health. Furthermore, it is essential to enhance the training methodology for human resources for public health and elevate the calibre of them. Additionally, there is a need to refine the mechanism for ensuring the advancement of the human resources for public health, with the objective of attracting and retaining talent.

Objective To screen the risk factors of hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy in patients with cerebral hernia after traumatic brain injury (TBI), and construct a Bayesian network model based on the risk factors. Methods A total of 77 patients with cerebral hernia after TBI who underwent decompressive craniotomy in Nanjing Tongren Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from March 2020 to January 2022 were included. They were divided into hydrocephalus group (n = 25) and non - hydrocephalus group (n = 52) according to whether hydrocephalus was complicated after surgery. The risk factors of hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy in patients with cerebral hernia after TBI were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses. The Bayesian network model was constructed based on the risk factors, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were drawn and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was conducted. Results In hydrocephalus group, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at admission (t = 2.178, P = 0.032), the ratio of cerebrospinal fluid replacement after lumbar puncture (χ2 = 8.675, P = 0.003), and the level of β2 -microglobulin after operation (t = 11.146, P = 0.000) were lower than those in non-hydrocephalus group, while subarachnoid hemorrhage (χ2 = 5.901, P = 0.015), bilateral operation (χ2 = 6.441, P = 0.011), the ratio of dural unstitched during operation (χ2 = 9.759, P = 0.002), postoperative intraventricular hemorrhage (χ2 = 8.938, P = 0.003), postoperative midline displacement > 10 mm (χ2 = 7.589, P = 0.006), and intracranial infection (χ2 = 4.519, P = 0.034), as well as postoperative coma time (t = 2.709, P = 0.008) were higher than those in non - hydrocephalus group. Logistic regression analysis showed that subarachnoid hemorrhage (OR = 1.885, 95%CI: 1.432-2.240; P = 0.012), dural unstitched during operation (OR = 1.468, 95%CI: 1.215-1.930; P = 0.006), long postoperative coma time (OR = 1.574, 95%CI: 1.358-1.926; P = 0.007), postoperative intraventricular hemorrhage (OR = 1.550, 95%CI: 1.254-1.768; P = 0.010), the level of β2- microglobulin increased after operation (OR = 1.622, 95%CI: 1.165-1.840; P = 0.004) were risk factors for hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy in patients with cerebral hernia after TBI. Based on these 5 factors, the Bayesian network model was constructed, and the area under ROC curve was 0.886 (95%CI: 0.823-0.925, P = 0.000). The calibration curve showed that there was a good consistency between the predicted probability and the actual probability, while the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed no significant difference (χ2 = 8.760, P = 0.232), which indicated that the model had good discrimination, calibration and accuracy. Conclusions Subarachnoid hemorrhage, dural unstitched during operation, long postoperative coma time, postoperative intra ventricular hemorrhage, and elevated β2 - microglobulin level are the risk factors for hydrocephalus after decompressive craniectomy in patients with cerebral hernia after TBI.

Background Diabetic foot (DF) is one of the most serious chronic complications in patients with diabetes. There is an incidence of DF of 15% in China, with a poor prognosis, an amputation rate of 22%, and a mortality rate of 11%, which greatly reduces the quality of life and life expectancy of patients with DF. DF wound healing may benefit from vitamin D, however, sufficient clinical studies are lacking to confirm this claim. Objective To explore the correlation between serum 25 (OH) D3 and DF wound healing. Methods A nested case-control study method was used to select DF patients with Wagner grading 2-4 who were hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from 2020 to 2021. The patients were discharged from the hospital and followed up for 3 months, and 55 patients whose DF wounds still had not healed were selected as the case group. As the control group, 110 patients whose DF wounds healed within 3 months of discharge were matched 1∶2 according to their age, gender, and Wagner grade with the patients in the case group. In the early stages of treatment, 2 mL of venous blood was obtained and serum 25 (OH) D3 levels were determined before vitamin D supplementation. Detailed basic data, biochemical and imaging indices of the patients were collected, including general demographics (age, gender, place of residence, education), BMI, diabetes duration and family history, hospitalization duration, lifestyle habits (alcohol consumption, smoking status), history of hypertension and Wagner classification. The biochemical parameters included 25 (OH) D3, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). An MRI was performed to determine if the patient had osteomyelitis. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between different 25 (OH) D3 levels and DF wound healing. Results The duration of diabetes in the case group was longer than that in the control group (P0.05). Once age, gender, place of residence, education, BMI, alcohol consumption, smoking, history of hypertension, family history of diabetes mellitus, diabetes duration, length of hospitalization, Wagner grade, osteomyelitis, HbA1c, ESR, and CRP have corrected for, patients with serum 25 (OH) D3 levels of 20 to

With the continuous development of renewable energy, photovoltaic power stations show a trend of large-scale grid connection, but the disorderly development of photovoltaic grid connection induces the static voltage instability in photovoltaic grid-connected system. Firstly, an equivalent model of photovoltaic large-scale grid-connected system using the equivalent admittance of photovoltaics is constructed in this paper, and the impact of photovoltaic grid-connected system on static voltage stability is quantified as the impact of photovoltaic equivalent admittance on the eigenvalue of the admittance matrix. It is concluded that the decrease of the minimum eigenvalue of the admittance matrix reduces the static voltage stability of photovoltaic grid-connected system. Further an evaluation index for static voltage stability of photovoltaic grid-connected system based on eigenvalue-active power sensitivity is proposed. Considering the strong correlation between the admittance matrix and the network topology of photovoltaic grid-connected system, the influence of the network topology on static voltage stability is analyzed. Photovoltaic grid-connected schemes which can improve the static voltage stability are proposed from AC and DC perspectives, and it is concluded that changing the topology of the transmission network reasonably can improve the static voltage stability of photovoltaic grid-connected system. Finally, based on a IEEE 14-node system example, the eigenvalue index and the photovoltaic grid-connected scheme proposed in this paper is validated to ensure the static voltage stability of large-scale photovoltaic grid-connected systems and promote orderly grid connection of photovoltaic system.

Background The reimbursement of outpatient services is an essential part of the reform of medical insurance payment methods. With the comprehensive promotion of the reform on the medical insurance payment methods for inpatient services in China, the reform on insurance payment methods for outpatient services, such as capitation-based reimbursement and ambulatory patient groups (APG) point method, will gradually be put on the agenda. Objective To explore a capitation-based reimbursement scheme for chronic diseases applicable to Beijing based on an analysis of capitation-based reimbursement implemented in different countries and regions and the current situation of chronic disease management in Beijing, to provide a reference for implementing the capitation-based reimbursement reform for chronic diseases in Beijing. Methods This study used information related to essential medical services, reimbursement by health insurance, and essential public health service funds in Beijing's C and H districts. Then through an analysis of the information, the calculation method for capitation-based reimbursement standard for four common chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke were selected in this study) applicable in the districts was designed to calculate the capitation-based reimbursement standard for major chronic diseases in primary outpatient clinics, providing a reference for promoting the capitation reform for chronic diseases in outpatient clinics. Results By analyzing the above-mentioned information in 2017—2019, the capitation-based reimbursement standard was 4 693.11 yuan/person for hypertension, 6 597.70 yuan/person for diabetes, 5 644.46 yuan/person for coronary heart disease, and 6 437.78 yuan/person for stroke in H district calculated using the bottom-up costing, and was 4 884.18 yuan/person for hypertension, 5 960.63 yuan/person for diabetes, 3 733.93 yuan/person for coronary heart disease, and 3 886.66 yuan/person for stroke in C district calculated using the top-down estimating. Conclusion In calculating the capitation-based reimbursement standard, as different chronic disease patient groups have different outpatient costs, considering the equity of medical insurance reimbursement and the rationality of capitation-based reimbursement, it is necessary to adjust the risk of the benchmark capitation, and develop personalized service packages for different types and severity of chronic diseases. In the promotion of capitation payment for chronic disease patients, it is necessary to provide personalized essential medical service and public health service packages for patients with different chronic diseases, further improve the chronic disease management capacity of community health institutions to improve the contracting rate and establish an effective incentive and assessment mechanism for general practitioners to rationally allocate capitation balance.

Background In China, the governance of public health by the public health committee, a grassroots mass autonomous organization, is a new approach managing public health services in primary care. Many regions are exploring governance models of public health by the public health committee, aiming to make it a key hub to realize the vertical connection and horizontal linkage grid management of grassroots communities. Objective To analyze the policy documents related to the construction of local public health committees of various regions in China using policy document analysis, so as to provide a reference for improving the primary-level public health governance system and governance capacity. Methods In March 2022, we searched policy documents related to the construction of public health committees on the official websites of the local governments and health commissions of eight sample regions (Beijing, Guangdong, Chongqing, Shandong, Anhui, Guizhou, Gansu, and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region) in which village (residential) public health committees have been constructed using "public health committee" as the key search term. Through literature review and policy document analysis, an analytical framework for the governance system of the public health committee was constructed. Nvivo 11 Plus was used for word frequency and coding analyses of the included policy literature. Results A total of 15 policy documents and 2 guidance manuals for the work of public health committees were ultimately included. Word frequency analysis showed that the five words, "hygiene" "public" "work" "committee" and "health", appeared most frequently, indicating that the selected policy literature conformed to the research theme. By using the analytical framework, the structural dimensions of the policy literature were determined, including four root nodes, namely, governance subjects, governance mechanisms, institutional guarantees, and capacity building, and 13 sub-nodes. There are 208 reference points for governance subjects, 48 reference points for governance mechanisms, 57 reference points for institutional guarantees, and 87 reference points for capacity building. Conclusion The local policy documents of the sample regions cover the contents of the four dimensions, but have different focuses. According to the framework in this study, further construction of the public health committee needs to set certain admission criteria with clear determination of rights and responsibilities for new committee members, establish an effective cooperation and communication mechanism, improve the system guarantee and provide financial and technical support.

In order to design and prepare hard coating for the flue gas turbine transition ring，and to ensure the long-term stable operation of the flue gas turbine，three kinds of Cr3C2-NiCr hard coatings were designed and prepared on the surface of 304L alloy substrate by detonation gun spraying process.By means of X-ray diffraction (XRD)，scanning electron microscope (SEM)，energy dispersive X-ray analysis(EDXA)，microhardness tester，surface roughness tester，universal testing machine and contact angle measuring instrument，the microstructure of the coatings was analyzed and observed，and the hardness，porosity，bonding strength，roughness，thermal shock performance and surface free energy of the coatings were characterized respectively.Results showed that as the oxygen-fuel ratio increased，the hardness of the coating increased monotonously，and the porosity of the coating decreased first and then increased.When the oxygen-fuel ratio was 1.5，the quality of the as-prepared coating was the best，with a micro hardness of 810 HV3N，a porosity of 0.58%，a bonding strength of 72.1 MPa，a surface roughness of 4.78 μm and a surface free energy of 25.43 mJ/m2.After being kept at 800 ℃for 10 minutes and quenched with water at room temperature for 20 cycles，the coating had no warping，cracking or peelin.Besides，the oxygen-fuel ratio changed the surface free energy and its component in the coating，thus had an effect on the surface characteristics of the coating.

Liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. In Asia, liver cancer often develops on a background of cirrhosis caused by chronic hepatitis. The procedure of hepatitis, cirrhotic nodules, dysplastic nodules, and then hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common liver cancer evolutionary process. Judging the stage of hepatic nodules in the evolution process and taking intervention measures are critical for reducing the incidence of liver cancer. In this paper, a more accurate support vector machine (SVM) classification algorithm, LFOA-F-SVM, was proposed for radiomics to classify hepatic nodules from 120 patients into four categories based on dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance images. The algorithm uses radius-margin-based F-SVM, and combines the fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) of Levy flight (LF) strategy to optimize the parameters. To verify the effectiveness of the method, five UCI classification data sets (hearts, Parkinson’s disease, iris, wine and zoo) were added and compared with SVM, PSO-SVM, FOA-SVM, F-SVM. The results showed that LFOA-F-SVM has the highest classification accuracy in six data sets compared to the other methods. And in the hepatic nodules data set, the classification precision and recall are relatively high.

In order to overcome the difficulties that current attack graph model cannot reflect real-time network attack events,a method is proposed including a forward risk probability update algorithm and a forward-backward combined risk probability update algorithm,which meets the needs of real-time analyzing network security.It first performs specific quantitative analysis on the uncertainty of each node in the graph,and uses Bayesian networks to calculate their static probabilities.After that,it updates the dynamic probability of each node along the forward and backward paths according to the real-time network security events,instantly reflecting the changes of external conditions and assessing real-time risk levels across the network.Experimental results show that the method can calibrate and adjust the risk probability of each node according to the actual situation,which helps the network operator correctly understand the dangerous levels of the network and make better decision for defense and prevention of the next attack.

ObjectiveTo construct a YOLOv3-based model for diatom identification in scanning electron microscope images, explore the application performance in practical cases and discuss the advantages of this model.MethodsA total of 25 000 scanning electron microscopy images were collected at 1 500× as an initial image set, and input into the YOLOv3 network to train the identification model after experts’ annotation and image processing. Diatom scanning electron microscopy images of lung, liver and kidney tissues taken from 8 drowning cases were identified by this model under the threshold of 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 respectively, and were also identified by experts manually. The application performance of this model was evaluated through the recognition speed, recall rate and precision rate.ResultsThe mean average precision of the model in the validation set and test set was 94.8% and 94.3%, respectively, and the average recall rate was 81.2% and 81.5%, respectively. The recognition speed of the model is more than 9 times faster than that of manual recognition. Under the threshold of 0.4, the mean recall rate and precision rate of diatoms in lung tissues were 89.6% and 87.8%, respectively. The overall recall rate in liver and kidney tissues was 100% and the precision rate was less than 5%. As the threshold increased, the recall rate in all tissues decreased and the precision rate increased. The F1 score of the model in lung tissues decreased with the increase of threshold, while the F1 score in liver and kidney tissues with the increase of threshold.ConclusionThe YOLOv3-based diatom electron microscope images automatic identification model works at a rapid speed and shows high recall rates in all tissues and high precision rates in lung tissues under an appropriate threshold. The identification model greatly reduces the workload of manual recognition, and has a good application prospect.

Objective To investigate the biological function of RNA binding protein polycytosine-binding protein 1 (PCBP1) in the maintenance of pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and to explore the new mechanism of regulating hESC pluripotency. Methods PCBP1 knockdown technology was used to detect the clonogenicity. The alkaline phosphatase staining profile and the expression of pluripotency/differentiation marker genes were detected by qPCR. Meanwhile, the nucleus and cytoplasm of hESC were isolated for RNA sequencing, and the nucleoplasmic changes of RNA generated by PCBP1 knockdown were analyzed by multi-level analysis. Results PCBP1 knockdown significantly inhibited clonogenesis of human embryonic stem cells (P＜0.01) and reduced the RNA level of pluripotency related genes (P＜0.01). The expression of differentiation related genes increased(P＜0.01)that significantly affected the overall nucleoplasmic distribution of RNA in hESC and the nucleoplasmic distribution of mRNA related to embryonic development and cell differentiation. Conclusions PCBP1 regulates hESC pluripotency by regulating the expression of pluripotency/differentiation marker genes and the nucleoplasmic localization of mRNA.

After continuous gavage of L. barbarum protoplasm for 45 days, the organ development of normal mice was not affected. Compared to the untreated mice, the content of serum hemolysin (P＜0.01) and the degree of foot thickening (P＜0.05) and phagocytosis index (P＜0.01) increased significantly, indicating that L. barbarum puree could enhance mice immunity. Conclusion: Eating a certain dose of L. barbarum puree can enhance the antioxidant capacity and immune ability.

Nicotine(NIC) plays a role in the brain through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors(nAChRs). nAChRs are ligand-gated ion channel composed of five transmembrane subunits. Mammals contain nine α subunits (α2～α10) and three β subunits (β2～β4). The α4 and the nAChRs subtype of β2 subunit (α4β2-nAChR), in brain tissue mediate many behaviors related to NIC addiction. Recent studies have shown that α7, α5 and α6-nAChR play an important role in regulating NIC addiction. Genetic variations in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene clusters encoding α5, α3, and β4 increase the susceptibility to tobacco dependence and smoking-related diseases (including lung cancer). The expression of α5 or β4 subunits in mouse brain tissue changes the consumption pattern of NIC. In addition, the effects of NIC on appetite, attention and emotion are related to the establishment and maintenance of smoking habits.

Background and purpose: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) not only acts as proinflammatory cytokine conducing to wide spectrum of human diseases including inflammatory diseases, but also can induce tumor development. In the current study, we investigated the relationship between TNF-α gene polymorphisms and the occurrence and development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Han population of Yunnan Province. Methods: A total of 425 lung cancer patients with NSCLC and 438 healthy individuals were included from Han population of Yunnan Province. The genotypes of 5 polymorphism loci, rs1799964 (-1031T>C), rs1800630 (-863C>A), rs1799724 (-857C>T), rs1800629 (-308G>A) and rs361525 (-238G>A) of TNF-α gene were detected by TaqMan assay. The frequency distributions of allele, genotype and haplotype in NSCLC patients and healthy controls were analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference in the allele and genotype frequency among 5 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites in TNF-α gene promoter (P>0.05). And in stratification analysis, the frequency of rs1799724-T was significantly higher in the adenocarcinoma patients than in the controls (P=0.010, OR=1.56, 95% CI: 1.11-2.19), and the rs1799724-TT+TC carrier showed significantly higher susceptibility to adenocarcinoma in dominant model (P=0.007, OR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.146-2.417). The frequency of rs1800630-A was significantly higher in adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and other histological types of carcinoma patients (P=0.013, OR=2.15, 95% CI: 1.16-3.96). The haplotype analysis indicated that the frequency of haplotype rs1799724T-rs1800629G was higher in the adenocarcinoma group than in the control group (P=0.048, OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.00-2.01). Conclusion: The T allele and TT genotype of rs1799724 (C>T) in TNF-α gene promoter might be associated with the susceptibility to lung adenocarcinoma in Han population of Yunnan Province. And rs1800630 (C>T) -A might be a risk factor of other histological lung cancer in Han population of Yunnan Province.

Objective To explore the biological function of RNA binding protein heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A3(hnRNPA3) in the maintenance of pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells(hESCs) and to reveal its new mechanism in RNA transport. Methods The interaction of hnRNPA3 with nuclear pore and localization were examined by immunoprecipitation of nuclear pore complex and cytoplasmic separation in hESCs. After inhibiting the endogenous expression of hnRNPA3, the expression of the pluripotency/differentiation marker genes was detected by qPCR, and the effect on the nucleoplasmic distribution of polyA+ RNA and OCT4 mRNA was tested by RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization to predict the binding of hnRNPA3 to known RNA export associated proteins. Results hnRNPA3 was localized in the nucleus and interacted with the nuclear pore. Inhibiting the endogenous expression of hnRNPA3 significantly inhibited the cloning-formation ability of hESC(P＜0.05) and resulted in the increase of the expression of cell differentiation markers(P＜0.001) and significantly inhibited the export of polyA+ RNA as well as OCT4 mRNA(P＜0.001). The protein interaction network predicted that hnRNPA3 may bind to about one-third of the known RNA export associated proteins. Conclusions hnRNPA3 regulates hESC pluripotency by impacting on mRNA export.

The sequestration of soil inorganic carbon ( SIC) especially pedogenic carbonate ( PC) is one of the important pathways reducing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide and thus mitigating climate change in coastal areas. Using the technology of l3C stable isotope, we analyzed the differences in the composition and storage of SIC, and explored the key physicochemical properties influencing soil PC storage in different horizons (0-10, 11-20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80 and 81-100 cm) from Suaeda salsa wetland (SS), Spartina alterniflora wetland ( SA), young poplar plantation ( YP), and mature poplar plantation ( MP) in coastal area of the northern Jiangsu Province. The results showed that except for the surface (0-10 cm) soil in MP, the SIC content was higher than SOC in all soil horizons. Overall, neither the soil PC to SIC ratio nor the SIC storage were significantly different in SA and SS soils. Compared to wetland soils (0-40 cm), the soil PC to SIC ratio was reduced by 32.7% and 54.1% and the PC storage was reduced by 40.5% and 59.2%, the lithogenic carbonate ( LC) storage changed little, while the SIC storage was reduced by 21.0% and 17.9%, respectively in the YP and MP soils. Compared to the YP soils (0-100 cm), both the soil PC to SIC ratio and the PC storage were significantly reduced while the LC storage was significantly increased, especially at the 41-100 cm soil horizons, meanwhile, the SIC storage was not significantly changed in the MP soils. Results of the structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that key factors influencing soil PC storage were the ratio of PC to SIC, followed by the SOC content and bulk density. SOC could inhibit the formation of soil PC. Generally, the coastal wetlands have greater SIC storage and sequestration potential than poplar plantations, and the PC sequestration can be regulated by modulating the ratio of PC to SIC and SOC content.

The paper focuses on the prospecting of cobalt-nickel deposits in Liaoning-Jilin tectonic belt, on the basis of metallogenic geological conditions such as Paleoproterozoic structure-formation, to analyze previous data and research results and systematically discuss the sources of cobalt-nickel ore-forming material, characteristics of typical ore deposits or occurrences and mineralization process in Liaoning-Jilin tectonic belt. The results show that the Langzishan Formation to Gaojiayu Formation of former Liaohe Group is a complex orogenic accretionary series formed under the stable continental margin, active continental margin and even trench-arc-basin system. There is structural contact between the rock slices of different origin, showing the tectonic formation characteristics of overall disorder and locally order. The overlying Dashiqiao Formation-Gaixian Formation is stable residual sea basin sediment, which are in non-conformable contact with the underlying strata, showing the characteristics of ordered strata. Overall, the set of formation can neither be simply divided as ordered strata, nor be regionally correlated by metamorphic deformation degree. It is quite unreliable to judge the protolith formation of some metamorphic rocks and the tectonic environment in which they formed only by geochemical data and diagrams. The Liao-Ji granite(streaky or banded granite) formed by relatively mature continental margin arc, and the rock assemblage of the island arc generally displays the characteristics of TTG, but its ore-controlling significance is still unclear. The intrusive rocks formed under post-orogenic extension are predominantly syntectonic garnet granites or granitic gneisses which were deeply melted or remelted S-type granite. Additionally, there are adakitic granitic diorites that emerged in the context of late orogenic thickening. The ore-forming materials of the Cu, Co and Ni deposits are primarily sourced from basic dykes, continental crust pyroclastic rocks, subduction accretion complexes and abyssal sedimentary rocks. In the process of subduction and extinction for the Liao-Ji Ocean, besides the re-enrichment of original mineral source layer by orogeny and metamorphism, and the mineralization of basic-ultrabasic rocks under extensional action, the high carbonaceous quality and salinity in pelagic environment(seafloor thermal brines) are essential factors for mineral enrichment. In conjunction with regional geochemistry, three cobalt-nickel mineralization zones and six target areas are delineated within the Liaoning-Jilin tectonic belt. With an evaluation for the mineralization potential, the prospecting indicators and directions for cobalt-nickel deposits in the belt are proposed, which offer a novel approach to the prospecting breakthrough strategic action in the region.

Objective To study the protective effect of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen Flavonoids (ZSSF) on liver oxidative damage induced by perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in mice. Methods Mice were divided into blank control group, model group, positive control group (vitamin C group) and high, medium and low dose ZSSF group by random number table method, with 10 mice in each group. At the same time, PFOS (10 mg/kg) was molded and administered continuously for 30 days.After 6 h after the last delivery, eyeball blood in mice, the liver to join 9 times the volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution in homogenate is made from 10% of the tissue of slurry, according to the kit instruction alanine transaminase (ALT) in serum and aspirate aminotransferase (AST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (gsh-px) and catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (T -AOC) level; The expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 mrna in liver tissues was detected, and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) was applied. Results Compared with the control group, the contents of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and malondialdehyde increased in the model group, while the contents of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase and total antioxidant capacity decreased(P＜ 0.01, P＜0.05); Compared with the model group, the drug intervention group reduced the content of AST, ALT and MDA, and increased the content of SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, T-AOC, Nrf2 and HO-1 mRNA in liver tissue(P＜0.01, P＜0.05). Conclusions Ziziphi Spinosae Semen Flavonoids can improve the oxidative liver injury induced by PFOS in mice, which may be caused by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes in vivo and reducing the generation of lipid peroxides by regulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, so as to improve the antioxidant capacity of the body.

Objective To explore the effect of barley plus butter dietary on the symptoms of dextran sodium sulfate induced chronic ulcerative colitis and intestinal microbial distribution in mice. Methods In customized feed(C feed), soybean oil and corn meal in standard mice breeding feed (N feed) were replaced with equal proportion of ghee and raw barley powder.28 male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=7,each group):NW group fed with N feed and water; ND group fed with N feed and 1.8% DSS; CW group fed with C feed and water; CD group fed with C feed and 1.8% DSS. Colitis model was established by three cycles of 10 days supply of distilled water after 7 days supply of 1.8% DSS solution. Finally, the effects were evaluated by DAI score, colon HE staining and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing of gut microbes. Results The abundance of bacteria was increased and the diversity of intestinal flora, such as allobaculum, was improved in wild type mice fed on the barley and butter dietary. However, when the mice were treated with DSS, the barley plus butter dietary group had high DAI score(P＜0.05), showed obvious intestinal ulcers and disorganized intestinal glands by histopathological microscopy, and decreased intestinal flora abundance and diversity(P＜0.05). But the quantity of Clostridium and Sartreella was increased in barley and butter dietary group(P＜0.05). Conclusions The barley plus butter dietary increases intestinal flora Allobaculum of wild type mice and improves the composition of intestinal flora, but the dietary intervention fails to show any significant impact on the chronic ulcerative colitis symptoms induced by DSS.

Objective To investigate the role of mammalian sterile line 20-like kinas 1(MST1) and its regulatory mechanism in hepatic gluconeogenesis of mouse. Methods The mRNA expression of MST1 in the liver of db/db mice and db/m mice was detected by RT-qPCR. MST1 was overexpressed with adenovirus to detect glucose output capacity in mouse primary hepatocytes. Luciferase reporter assay was adopted to detect the effect of MST1 on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) promoter activity in HepG2 cells. Forkhead transcription factor O1 (FOXO1) was knocked down by interfering adenovirus in primary mouse liver cells to detect the effect of MST1 overexpression on the mRNA levels of PEPCK. Results The mRNA level of MST1 was significantly upregulated in the liver of db/db mice (P＜0.001). MST1 overexpression enhanced glucose output in mouse primary hepatocytes (P＜0.05). In HepG2 cells, MST1 overexpression increased the mRNA of PEPCK (P＜0.001) and the activity of PEPCK promoter (P＜0.01). Furthermore, MST1-induced increase in PEPCK mRNA was abolished when FOXO1 was knocked down by interfering adenovirus. Conclusions MST1 promotes hepatic gluconeogenesis by regulating the mRNA expression of PEPCK dependent on FOXO1.

Objective To observe the effects and mechanisms of Apelin-13 on expression of pyroptosis related proteins in aorta of diabetic mice. Methods C57/BL mice of eight weeks old were used as control group;kkAy mice of eight weeks old were used as type 2 diabetic models;osmotic pumps were used to treat kkAy mice with apelin-13 at a rate of 30 μg/(kg·d),and L-NAME(eNOS inhibitor) was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 10 mg/(kg·d) to kkAy mice. Blood was collected for detection of Hb1Ac. The aortae were harvested and fixed. Morphological changes were observed with HE staining. Expression of eNOS,NLRP3,caspase-1 and gasdermin D were measured with immunohistochemical staining. Results Compared to the control group, the level of eNOS in the aorta of diabetic mice was significantly higher than that in control mice (P＜0.05),the levels of NLRP3,caspase-1 and gasdermin D were also higher than that in control mice. After apelin-13 treatment,the expressions of eNOS,NLRP3,caspase-1 and gasdermin D were further increased (P＜0.05). After L-NAME and apelin-13 treatment, the expressions of eNOS, NLRP3,caspase-1 and gasdermin D were reduced as compared to apelin-13 treatment alone(P＜0.05). Conclusions Apelin-13 may promote the expression of pyroptosis related protein in aortic cells by increasing eNOS/NO pathway,which would induce structural and functional damage in diabetic arteries.

Objective To investigate the effect of sanguinarine on the invasion and migration of lung adenocarcinoma cells and its preliminary molecular mechanism. Methods MTT assay was used to observe the proliferative capacity of A549 and H1975 cells. Wound healing and Transwell assays were performed to determine the invasion and migration abilities of A549 and H1975 cells, respectively. RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of core genes in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Results Compared with the control group, sanguinarine(1-10μmol/L) could inhibit the activity of human lung adenocarcinoma cells in a concentration- and time- dependent manner (P < 0.05); the migration and invasion abilities of A549 and H1975 cells were significantly weakened by 1μmol/L sanguinarine after 48 h (P < 0.01); sanguinarine (1, 2.5, 5μmol/L) could significantly down-regulate the protein expression of β-catenin, phosphorylated GSK3β and DVL2 in Wnt/β-catenin pathway, thereby inhibiting the mRNA levels of TCF/LEF and CyclinD1, in a concentration-dependent manner (P < 0.05). Conclusion Sanguinarine may inhibit the migration and invasion of human lung adenocarcinoma cells by down-regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Polycrystalline Na0.5K0.5NbO3 ceramics were prepared under the condition of 10 GPa and 1 050 T. The compression and shear wave velocities of the samples under various hydrostatic pressures were measured using ultrasonic interferometry. By fitting the third-order finite strain state equation, the bulk and shear moduli of polycrystalline Na0.5K0.5NbO3 and their pressure dependency were determined as 172.6 GPa, 54.6 GPa, 0.3 and 2.1, respectively. The sample shows a positive pressure dependence of Young's modulus. Based on the elastic modulus data, the Poisson's ratio was obtained as 0.342, indicating that the material was ductile and shows brittleness under high pressure. The Vickers hardness and fracture toughness also show positive pressure dependence. Using the empirical models, the Vickers hardness and fracture toughness of the ceramics were obtained as 2.40 GPa and 2.33 MPa⋅m1/2. Meanwhile, based on the elastic wave velocity and density data, the Debye temperature (513.1 K) and the Grüneisen constant (2.113) of Na0.5K0.5NbO3 ceramics were derived. Our results provide an experimental reference for evaluating the acoustic and elastic- related comprehensive properties of Na0.5K0.5NbO3 under high pressure, and a foundation for its engineering applications under extreme high-pressure conditions as well.

To overcome the shortcomings of existing image inpainting methods, such as the lack of authenticity in the inpainting results, the lack of effective processing of missing region and non-missing region information, and the lack of effective processing of image feature information in different stages, an image inpainting method combining semantic priors and deep attention residual group is proposed. The image inpainting network is mainly composed of semantic priors network, deep attention residual group and full-scale skip connection. The semantic priors network learns the complete semantic priors information of visual elements in the missing region, and uses the learned semantic information to complete the missing region. The deep attention residual group enables the generator not only to pay more attention to the missing area of the image, but also to learn the features of each channel adaptively. The full-scale skip connection can combine the low-level feature map containing the image boundary with the highlevel feature map containing the image texture and detail to inpaint the missing area of the image. In this paper, a full comparison experiment is conducted on CelebA-HQ dataset and Paris Street View dataset, and the experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the current representative advanced image inpainting methods.

Based on the remote sensing monitoring data of land use in 1985, 2000 and 2017, the spatiotemporal variation characteristics and eco-environmental effects of land use transition in eastern Songnen Plain in the past 30 years are analyzed by means of land use transfer matrix, gravity center model and eco-environment quality index. The results show that the land use is mainly cultivated land and forest land with clear distribution boundary during 1985-2015. The land use intensity continues to increase, fast in early stage and slow in later. The main performances of land use transition involve continuous increase of agricultural land, continuous decrease of ecological land and slight increase of construction land, changing drastically in early stage and slowing down in later. The direction of land use transition is generally stable. The shift trajectory of transfer barycenter varies greatly, of which the largest change is during 1985-2000, with the transfer trajectory of water area shifting 76.34 km northwestward. The regional ecoenvironmental quality index of Songnen Plain continued to decline from 0.395 in 1985 to 0.361 in 2017, indicating the continuous deterioration of eco-environmental quality. In 2017, the spatial distribution is dominated by medium and low-medium quality areas. The mutual transition between agricultural land, grassland and unused land is the main influencing factor of ecological environment quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To scientifically evaluate the quality level of existing cultivated land in Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province, the environmental satellite image, Landsat8 remote sensing image and geoehemieal survey data are used to extract the information of soil fertility, water content, heavy metal pollution and other indexes. The temperature vegetation dryness index (TVDl) which has a stronger correlation with soil water content, replacing the traditional difference vegetation index (DVI), is applied to establish a soil quality evaluation method based on pressure-state-response (PSR) model. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to assign weights to each evaluation index, combined with expert scoring and linear interpolation, to realize the quantitative evaluation of evaluation factors and obtain the minimum evaluation units by spatial weight superposition of all evaluation factors. The results show that the first-grade cultivated land accounts for 28.75%, with 71.17% of second-grade, 0.08% of third-grade and below, and the quality of cultivated land is generally high in Hailun City. Finally, some suggestions for improving cultivated land are put forward by analyzing the spatial distribution of cultivated land of different grades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
