Compared with fresh cream, recombined dairy cream has the advantages of low cost, high consistency between production batches, and good foam stability after whipping. It is widely used in industries such as coffee and tea beverages. However, due to the numerous ingredients and complex processes involved in its production, as well as the high requirements for static stability and whipping properties, the current market has heavily relied on imports, which leads to posing significant challenges to domestic dairy companies. The review first elucidated the mechanism of static instability occurring in recombined dairy cream during storage, including initial stable phase, phase separation, and creaming of fat globules, and discussed the factors influencing the rate and extent of instability at each stage. It elaborated on the interactions among fat globules, emulsifiers, and other components during storage and their impacts on the stability of recombined dairy cream. Furthermore, it delved into the process of partial coalescence and foaming during agitation of recombined dairy cream and the subsequent stabilization mechanism. It explicated the influence of solid fat content, fat crystallization characteristics, and emulsifier components on the partial coalescence of fat globules, which will provide technical support for the development and production process of recombined dairy cream products for domestic enterprises.

Understanding different physiological processes and spotting any health problems, especially in athletes, depend on tracking the quantities of amino acids in biological samples. This study looked at the creation of a unique electrochemical sensor for the sensitive and targeted identification of the necessary amino acid methionine in biological materials. Based on a modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface, the sensor incorporated a tungsten disulfide (WS2) and carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposite. The improved electrical conductivity and catalytic activity of this material combination towards methionine oxidation led to its selection. The sensor that was created showed remarkable selectivity for methionine over other amino acids, along with a wide linear range of 5–1475 μM and a low detection limit of 10 nM. A relative standard deviation of 3.62 % was obtained across ten consecutive measurements, confirming the sensor's repeatability. The practical use of the CNTs-WS2/GCE sensor was verified by the detection of MTN in human blood serum, urine, and food samples. The recovery values ranged from 93.00 % to 99.40 %, and the relative standard deviation was less than 4.71 %. Based on these findings, we believe that our new CNTs-WS2/GCE sensor holds great potential for quick and precise methionine identification in biological samples from athletes.

Ethylene-butadiene-（5-ethylidene-2-norbornene) terpolymer （EBT)/nitrile rubber （NBR) blends were prepared by blending method, and the effects of different blending ratios on curing characteristics, physical and mechanical properties, compression set, aging resistance, low temperature resistance, glass transition temperature and oil resistance of EBT/NBR blends were studied. The results indicated that with the increase of EBT content, tensile strength, tear strength and elongation at break of the blends decreased gradually, while hardness and modulus increased gradually, and compression set got larger gradually. With the increase of EBT content, the hot-air aging resistance of the blends showed a trend of first decreasing and then increa-sing with improved ozone aging resistance and better low temperature resistance, but the oil resistance decreased. When m（EBT)/m（NBR) was 30/70, the comprehensive mechanical properties and oil resistance of the blend decreased slightly, but the low temperature resistance and ozone aging resistance improved significantly.

Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, with hormone receptor-positive cases constituting 70%. Fulvestrant, an antagonist for these receptors, is utilized for advanced metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Yet, its inhibitory effect on tumor cells is not strong, and it lacks direct cytotoxicity. Consequently, there's a significant challenge in preventing recurrence and metastasis once cancer cells develop resistance to fulvestrant. Method To address these challenges, we engineered tumor-targeting nanoparticles termed 131I-fulvestrant-ALA-PFP-FA-NPs. This involved labeling fulvestrant with 131I to create 131I-fulvestrant. Subsequently, we incorporated the 131I-fulvestrant and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into fluorocarbon nanoparticles with folate as the targeting agent. This design facilitates a tri-modal therapeutic approach—endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, and PDT for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Results Our in vivo and in vitro tests showed that the drug-laden nanoparticles effectively zeroed in on tumors. This targeting efficiency was corroborated using SPECT-CT imaging, confocal microscopy, and small animal fluorescence imaging. The 131I-fulvestrant-ALA-PFP-FA-NPs maintained stability and showcased potent antitumor capabilities due to the synergism of endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, and CR-PDT. Throughout the treatment duration, we detected no notable irregularities in hematological, biochemical, or histological evaluations. Conclusion We've pioneered a nanoparticle system loaded with radioactive isotope 131I, endocrine therapeutic agents, and a photosensitizer precursor. This system offers a combined modality of radiotherapy, endocrine treatment, and PDT for breast cancer. Graphical Abstract

Abstract Background The utilization of short videos by individuals often leads to the emergence of information exchange behavior. Previous studies have shown that certain students with psychological disorders exhibit addictive tendencies towards short video-related software. Therefore, it is essential to address the psychology and behavior of college students with psychological disorders while engaging with short videos. This study aims to explore the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 college students afflicted by psychological disorders in a prefecture-level city in Henan Province, China from September to December 2022. Based on the Grounded theory, we encoded 30 text materials across three levels to explore the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders, and subsequently build a model framework. Results The findings of this study suggest that college students with psychological disorders exhibit negative cognition tendencies that can lead to strongly negative emotions, excacerbated by a lack of social support. These adverse factors collectively drive the consumption of short video content in this demographic, providing a virtual environment where they can fulfill their unmet social needs. Therefore, the mechanism governing short video messages interaction among college students with psychological disorders encompasses negative cognitive tendencies, negative emotions, lack of social support, post-video-watching behaviors, and the gratification of social needs within the confines of a virtual environment. Conclusions This study comprehensively analyzes the motivation and complexity of college students with psychological disorders in short video interaction. Although short videos provide this group with some ways of self-expression and emotional support, they still have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. The short video interaction of college students with psychological disorders is affected by many factors, including their negative cognitive tendencies, negative emotions, lack of social support, post-video-watching behaviors, and the gratification of social needs within the confines of a virtual environment. These findings deepened our understanding to the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders, also provided us with guidance on facilitating the proper use of short video and maintaining the mental health. In future researches, researchers can discuss more about intervention measures to help this demographic cope with the challenges from short video interaction.

The gut microbiota are mainly composed of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes and are crucial for metabolism and immunity. Muribaculaceae are a family of bacteria within the order Bacteroidetes. Muribaculaceae produce short-chain fatty acids via endogenous (mucin glycans) and exogenous polysaccharides (dietary fibres). The family exhibits a cross-feeding relationship with probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. The alleviating effects of a plant-based diet on inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes are associated with an increased abundance of Muribaculaceae, a potential probiotic bacterial family. This study reviews the current findings related to Muribaculaceae and systematically introduces their diversity, metabolism, and function. Additionally, the mechanisms of Muribaculaceae in the alleviation of chronic diseases and the limitations in this field of research are introduced.

Non-heritage handicrafts are outstanding achievements and wisdom crystallization jointly created by people of all ethnic groups in long-term life practice, and they are an important expression of the cultural values of the Chinese nation. From the perspective of tourism resources, this paper proposes the coupling path between non-heritage handicraft resources and rural tourism and constructs the planning mode of “non-heritage handicraft tourism”. The evaluation model of the potential of industrialized development of non-heritage handicrafts, which contains 12 factor-level indicators, is constructed by comprehensively applying big data analysis, kernel density analysis, and hierarchical analysis method. The empirical results show that, among the four non-heritage handicrafts, Nixing pottery has the greatest industrialization potential with a high degree of affiliation (0.3621) and a high potential for industrialization and development. The evaluation results have established a scientific and reasonable system for developing or protecting handicrafts for different potential non-heritage craft projects. This can guide the current practice of revitalizing non-heritage crafts in full swing.

Introduction: Plaque rupture in atherosclerosis contributes to various acute cardiovascular events. As a new sulfide-containing donor, S-propargyl-cysteine (SPRC) has been reported to play a beneficial role in cardioprotection, potentially through its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-atherogenic activities. Our previous study observed an increase in eNOS phosphorylation in endothelial cells. However, it remains unclear whether SPRC influences vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) within the plaque and if this effect contributes to plaque stabilization.Methods: An atherosclerotic unstable plaque mouse model was established by subjecting ApoE−/− mice to tandem stenosis of the right carotid artery along with a Western diet. Daily SPRC administration was conducted for 13 weeks. Plaque morphology and stability were assessed using MRI scanning and histopathological staining. In our in vitro studies, we stimulated human artery vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) with platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), both with and without 100 μM SPRC treatment. Cell phenotype was assessed using both Western blot and Real-time PCR. Cell proliferation was assessed using the BrdU cell proliferation kit and immunofluorescence of Ki-67, while cell migration was measured using scratch wound healing and transwell assay. MiR-143-3p overexpression and knockdown experiments were used to investigate whether it mediates the effect of SPRC on VSMC phenotype.Results and Discussion: SPRC treatment reduced plasma lipid levels, increased collagen content and decreased cell apoptosis in atherosclerotic plaques, indicating improved plaque stability. Both in vivo and in vitro studies elucidated the role of SPRC in preserving the contractile phenotype of VSMCs through up-regulation of miR-143-3p expression. Furthermore, SPRC suppressed the pro-proliferation and pro-migration effects of PDGF-BB on HAVSMCs. Overall, these findings suggest that the inhibitory effect of SPRC on phenotype switch from contractile to synthetic VSMCs may contribute to its beneficial role in enhancing plaque stability.

Children with certain comorbidities and immunocompromising conditions are highly vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is an important strategy to reduce death， critical illness and overall disease burden. With the evolving and increasing transmission of SARS-CoV-2， universal vaccination is essential to achieve this goal. Children with special medical conditions are considered as the priorities for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. However， vaccine hesitancy towards the implementation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination currently remains an urgent challenge. In order to promote the sustainable vaccination for those children in Shanghai as well as China， Shanghai municipal center for disease control and prevention， together with the national children’s medical center， children’s hospital of Fudan university and the expert group on immunization planning of the Shanghai preventive medicine association， organized a consensus expert working group to formulate the evidence-based recommendations and implementation suggestions for children with common chronic diseases， allergy history， diseases involving adverse events related to vaccination， and immunocompromising conditions， based on the published evidence of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination for populations and children with special medical conditions.

Along with the increase in demand for electricity, dependability requirements for the power supply system also increase. Transformers are the backbone of the electrical system; thus, they must function reliably and safely. In this study, a method based on Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy technology is proposed for assessing the ageing level of insulating oils. Copper-catalysed thermal ageing is applied to four distinct insulating oils at a temperature of 120°C12{0}^{^\circ }{\rm{C}}. The insulating oil ageing peaks are promptly measured using infrared spectroscopy, and the peak area ratios are associated with the interfacial tension and dielectric loss factor. It is observed that the peak area ratio of the ageing peaks and interfacial tension are significantly correlated, and this relationship can be used to determine the ageing condition of the insulating oil. The findings of this study can be used to design sensors for online monitoring of insulating oil quality.

In order to control the water inrush of Ⅲ638 working face floor verification borehole in Zhuzhuang Coal Mine, we first analyzed the reasons of the water inrush, and confirmed that the inrush water source was L3 limestone water, and the water channel was the floor karst development zone that had not been thoroughly controlled and JF1, JF2, JF3 faults. We proposed the idea of integrated treatment of water source and channel by using ground regional prevention and control. The treatment area is divided into water inrush risk area, fault influence area and deep weak area. Depend on “border locking + regional prevention and control”, different borehole layout schemes are proposed for different areas. Gradient pressurization grouting technology is used to reconstruct and reinforce the L3 limestone aquifer and faults. The drilled holes all meet the design requirements. After the treatment, the effect was verified by index evaluation, cross inspection and drilling. There is no floor water inrush after the treatment. The results show that the water source and channel integrated treatment technology based on ground regional prevention and control has advantages in blocking the floor water inrush.

Objective: This study aimed to optimize the extraction process of Porphyra haitanensis polyphenols to develop natural hypoglycemic foods.

The inhibition of α-glucosidase activity by P. haitanensis polyphenols was in a concentration-dependent manner, and the inhibition by the fourth-harvest-period polyphenols was significantly higher than other harvest periods polyphenols. P. haitanensis polyphenols at different harvest periods showed antioxidant activity, and the antioxidant activity of the fourth-harvest-period polyphenols was strongest. Conclusion: The high polyphenol contents, strong inhibition of α-glucosidase activity and strong antioxidant capacity of the fourth-harvest-period makes it an excellent food source for developing natural hypoglycemic foods and antioxidants.

AbstractBackground Previous studies have shown that perioperative dexmedetomidine could reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI in cardiovascular surgery, however, its effectiveness in the non-cardiovascular surgery patient population has not been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on the incidence of postoperative AKI and postoperative ICU admissions in patients undergoing non-cardiovascular surgery.Design and setting A single-center retrospective cohort study obtained from the database of the Center for Anesthesia and Surgery, the Third Xiangya Hospital.Patients Inpatients between 18 and 75 years of age who were admitted to our hospital for non-cardiovascular surgery from 2012 to 2019.Results Overall 2391 patients who used dexmedetomidine intraoperatively were analyzed in comparison to 4552 patients who did not use dexmedetomidine after one-to-two matching. The two cohorts had similar baseline values and demographic characteristics. The incidence of AKI was lower in patients with intraoperative dexmedetomidine use than in the nonuse group (OR 0.60, p .05).Conclusion For non-cardiovascular surgery patient population, intraoperative use of dexmedetomidine was associated with a lower incidence and less severity of postoperative AKI. However, there was no significant correlation with postoperative ICU occupancy or in-hospital mortality. Further prospective RCTs are needed in the future.

Conclusion: The addition of natural plant extracts with anti-inflammatory effect can reduce the acute inflammation in rats, and provide a new development idea for the further processing of areca catechu.

In order to adapt to the current rapid development of aerospace，automotive，and high-end equipment manufacturing industries，using graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with unique properties as the second phase additive，Ni-based nanocomposite coatings were prepared by supercritical pulse electrodeposition technology.The effect of pulse frequency on the microstructure，corrosion resistance，microhardness，wear resistance and other properties of composite coatings under supercritical conditions was investigated.Results showed that when the pulse frequency was 2 000 Hz under supercritical conditions，the microstructure of the prepared coating was densified and uniform，with better sphericity.XRD results showed that supercritical conditions could change the preferred orientation of crystallization and the appropriate pulse frequency could refine the coating grains and reduce the grain size.At a pulse frequency of 2 000 Hz under supercritical conditions，the properties of the prepared coating were more excellent.Electrochemical experiments showed that it had the largest capacitive arc radius，the highest self-corrosion potential，the lowest corrosion current density，and the largest capacitive modulus，so the coating had the most excellent corrosion resistance.The coating prepared at 2 000 Hz pulse frequency had the highest microhardness，reaching 835.4 HV2 N，and had the best wear resistance with a wear scar cross-sectional area of the coating of 1 582 μm2.The microhardness and wear scar cross-sectional area were 126%，107%，121%and 134%，and 47.6%，57.1%，71.5%and 44.3%of the coatings prepared with pulse frequencies of 100，1 000，3 000 Hz and under room temperature and pressure，respectively.Under supercritical conditions，the graphene quantum dot composite coating prepared at a pulse frequency of 2 000 Hz had excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Based on the implementing grain security projects and instituting other relevant grain security policies, China has promoted the process of digitalization and intelligence of grain storage and built the world's largest grain Internet of Things, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. But, the resulting large amount of grain data, mainly based on temperature, can not effectively support decision-making and management on grain storage. Based on the study of the multi-field coupling theory of grain pile ecosystem, our research team further extracted the continuity principle, periodicity principle, and coordination principle of digital supervision of grain reserves, and proposed a series of intelligent strategies such as AID, ABC, 6R, SIN, CAE, O, and U. However, the application of these strategies directly faces the original data, which has some problems such as low efficiency and large error. To apply the intelligent strategies efficiently and correctly, the basic data manual of intelligent analysis of grain condition has been developed, according to the original grain condition data of typical granaries and main grain varieties in different grain storage ecological regions in China. The development of this manual is expected to consolidate the foundation of intelligent analysis of grain situation, which could promote the digital monitoring of grain storage quantity and quality, and realize the transformation from "manual defense" to “technical defense”.

For evaluating the economy and feasibility about blast fragmentation warhead striking aircraft in aircraft shelter, taking a typical aircraft and single/double aircraft shelter as study objects, based on the thought of simple/quadratic surface fitting, the 3D surface models of aircraft and shelter are built. According to the velocity and position model of fragment, combined with the transformation relationship of coordinate system, the missile-target encounter algorithm is given. The ruin tree model of aircraft is constructed to calculate the ruin probability algorithm of aircraft. For reducing the computation of missile-target encounter, a mean ruin probability algorithm of aircraft based on integration method is proposed, which slices target area to grids and takes grids as alternative aim point. Taking maximum to entire ruin effect of all aircrafts as target, the optimizing algorithm to strike scheme about minimum missile consumption and find best aim point based on advanced PSO algorithm are proposed. The striking scheme optimizing about fragmentation warhead striking aircraft in single/double aircraft shelter is simulated. The result shows that, low blast height, small CEP, combination strike strategy with multiply aim points can reduce the minimum missile consumption effectively.

ASME 2021 code provides constitutive equation for high temperature creep of 316H stainless steel. The paper aims to help engineers and researchers correctly evaluate the strain and creep damage of high-temperature equipment by using the equation. Firstly, the physical mechanism of the items was explained. Secondly, the relationship between crucial parameters with temperature and stress was analyzed. Thirdly, the applicable stress and time range of the 316H creep constitutive equation was briefly introduced. And fourthly, the prediction values of the constitutive equation was compared with the data value from the isochronous stress-strain curve in ASME code. Results show that the constitutive equation is described by three items, in which the first creep stage is described by the rapid initial transient and transient items, and the second creep stage is described by the steady-state creep item. The equation’s applicability of evaluating the strain and creep damage of high-temperature equipment is limited by the starting time of the third creep stage. Moreover the key parameters of the equations, such as εs, εr, decay too rapidly to be accurately predicted at high stress. This research finds that due to item n increases with increasing temperature, the minimum creep rate m and transient creep rate constant r decrease in 1 000-1 075 ℉. Meanwhile, based on contrasting the rapid transient creep rate constants s of the original paper and ASME code, item D of parameter s is incorrect in the latter. Based on comparing predicted strain obtained by equation and data from ASME code isochronous stress-strain curves, the paper finds that predicted values at 950, 1 050 and 1 150 ℉ will agree with isochronous stress-strain curves, but larger than the datum from curve at 1 000 ℉, resulting in a relatively conservative strain prediction. Based on above four research and results, the paper concludes that the high temperature creep constitutive equation of 316H stainless steel in the ASME code can be used to evaluate high-temperature equipment structural integrity at 950, 1 050 and 1 150 ℉, but the result of 1 000 ℉ is conservatism.

Primary malignant melanoma of the parotid gland (PGMM) is extremely rare, with a poor prognosis. Surgery is the main treatment option followed by adjuvant treatments such as radiotherapy, but which adjuvant treatment to be optimal is still controversial. In this case, a 63-year-old male PGMM patient was first misdiagnosed as a “myoepithelial tumor” and then treated with surgery, postoperative immunotherapy (sintilimab), chemotherapy, and radiotherapy successfully. The progression free survival was more than 19 months without signs of metastasis or recurrence to date. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of postoperative immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy for PGMM. Our case indicated that combination therapy including surgery, adjuvant immunotherapy (sintilimab) combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be a potential treatment option for PGMM, which needs further research.

A new class gear and bearing steel with ultrahigh strength and high heat-resistant has excellent strength and toughness. The steel was austenitized at different temperatures, combined with a variety of mechanical property tests and micro-analysis techniques to study the changes in microstructure and mechanical properties of the steel. The results show that M6C carbides are undissolved, then the impact energy and fracture toughness decrease respectively when the steel is austenitized at 1060 ℃; the M6C carbides are dissolved, then the impact energy and fracture toughness increase respectively when the steel is austenitized at 1080-1100 ℃. There is little change in tensile strength and plasticity, and the specified plastic elongation strength decreases slightly with the increase of austenitizing temperature, when the steel is austenitized at 1060-1100 ℃. The initiation and propagation of crack is accelerated by M6C carbides, resulting in decrease in toughness. The steel has an excellent combination of strength and toughness when the steel is austenitized at 1080-1100 ℃, and the tensile strength is not less than 2000 MPa, the proof strength of specified plastic extension is not less than 1800 MPa, and the fracture toughness is not less than 100 MPa·m1/2.

With the explosive growth of global network traffic and the consequent increase in bandwidth and energy consumption required for data transmission, traditional electronic interconnection architectures are no longer able to meet the requirement of the growing bandwidth and energy conservation. Silicon-based photonics featured as high bandwidth, low energy consumption, and more importantly, compatibility with Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technologies enables the large-scale Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) and Electronic Integrated Circuits (EIC) to be integrated in a single substrate, hence it is regarded as one of the most promising solutions to address these challenges. However, with the increasing frequency of signals and the increasing number of integrated photonics and electronic devices, parasitic effects are becoming more prominent, leading to a significant degradation in the integration density, bandwidth density, and energy efficiency of the chip. 2.5D/3D integration technologies can effectively reduce the electrical interconnect length and chip size, thus reducing parasitic effects and power consumption, as well as increasing integration density. This paper presents different schemes of silicon based optoelectronic integration and its recent advances, and looks forward to the application prospects of 2.5D/3D integration technologies in data communication, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), biochemical sensing, and optical computing, et al.

In order to solve the problem of all-optical communication network capacity and spectral efficiency, a two-cavity six-channel Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) based on the coupling characteristics of point-defect cavity and line-defect waveguide of Two-Dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal is proposed in this paper. 2-D finite-difference time-domain method is used to analyze the performance parameters. Considering the influence of relative refractive index, the coupling mode of double resonators and single straight waveguide is selected to achieve the wavelength division multiplexing of 1 451, 1 487, 1 557, 1 658, 1 440 and 1 604 nm. The results show that the multiplexer has a spectral coverage of up to 218 nm, transmission efficiency of each channel higher than 91%, the insertion loss less than 0.43 dB, the cross-talk between channels less than -9.2 dB, and the size of only 13.56 μm×19.21 μm. It is very useful for coarse wavelength division multiplexing in optical communication systems, which also has reference significance for dense wavelength division multiplexing.

In order to research the influence of the web deflection on the bend-twist coupling characteristics of large wind turbine blades, the CAD model of NREL 5 MW blade is established based on NX secondary development, the aerodynamic loads of the blade are obtained by CFD method, the blade bendind angle and twisting angle are solved by the node displacement method to analyze the influence of web deflection for bend-twist coupling blade. The results show that the offset web helps to achieve the bend-twist coupling of blades. Under the action of aerodynamic load, the bending and twisting angle both increase along spanwise direction of blade gradually, and reach the magnitude at the tip of the blade; in forward bias, negative correlation between twist angle and offset, reverse bias is the opposite; positive bias blades bend-twist coupling coefficient is decreasing trend with the increase of deflection angle, reverse bias blade are greater than the conventional blade.

The integration of heat pump technology into sludge drying combines heat pumps with traditional convective drying techniques. The process of moisture and apparent morphology changes during sludge convective drying is succinctly summarized from literatures. The analysis also covers the effects of drying conditions, including temperature and airflow velocity, on the energy consumption of heat pump drying. Leveraging the precise and independent control capabilities of heat pump dryers, various heat pump intermittent drying methods are compared. By adjusting drying conditions at different stages of sludge drying, a balance can be achieved between rapid external moisture diffusion and reduced energy consumption of the heat pump system.

The high power, high efficiency, low failure rate, and intelligence of coal mining equipment are important directions for the development of coal mining machines both domestically and internationally. The implementation of efficient and low failure coal mine equipment is an important prerequisite for ensuring the smooth deployment of intelligent mines. At present, coal mining equipment generally consists of three parts: mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic. However, hydraulic pressure is a necessary system for coal mining equipment to complete high-power and intelligent operations. This article will combine the author's years of work experience to summarize the current local faults and diagnostic methods of hydraulic systems in coal mine equipment.

The energy consumption characteristics and energy system structure of each type of building are different, so the evaluation methods and indicators need to be customized for different types of buildings, which increases the complexity of the evaluation. Therefore, a method for evaluating the energy efficiency and energy conservation of public building energy systems under the dual carbon background is proposed. Analyze the coupling coefficient data of energy quality, energy and flow, obtain the base of energy efficiency optimization coefficients, and use twin technology to establish a comprehensive energy efficiency model. Introduce matter element analysis and use matter element extension models to evaluate the energy efficiency and energy-saving effects of public building energy systems. The experimental test results show that the research method can accurately evaluate the energy consumption of public buildings and has an effective evaluation effect on different types of buildings.

Although the incidence of multiple primary malignancies (MPMs) is increasing, synchronous triple primary malignant tumours with prostate, bladder and lung is rarely reported. Gene mutation is thought to be a reason for MPMs, and severe cardiovascular diseases may interrupt the cancer treatment. Here we reported a 64-year-old male patient with synchronous triple primary malignant tumours of the bladder urothelial carcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mutations in TP53 and MEK1, all the three malignancies were diagnosed within 10 days. Although being interrupted by severe cardiovascular diseases (including myocardial infarction, venous thrombosis, and aneurism of the aortic root), he was successfully treated with radical cystoprostatectomy, chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab (a PD-1 antibody), and radiotherapy of the lung lesion, followed by maintenance monotherapy of pembrolizumab, overall survival was more than 26 months. In conclusion, a patient of synchronous triple primary malignant tumours with prostate, bladder, and lung harbouring TP53 and MEK1 mutations accompanied with severe cardiovascular diseases was treated successfully, which may suggest that comprehensive treatment, especially radical treatment such as operation and radiation, is very important for MPMs.

Objective To explore the application of membranous concept in vestibular schwannoma surgery. Methods A total of 39 patients with vestibular schwannoma who received membranous surgical treatment in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from May 2020 to June 2021 were enrolled. Through the retrosigmoid approach, the intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring was performed, and the membranous concept was used to separate the brain stem of the tumor and the interface between the tumor and the facial nerve and the cochlear nerve. Facial nerve function was evaluated by the House⁃Brackmann (H⁃B) grade and hearing was evaluated by the American Academy of Otolaryngology⁃Head and Neck Surgery（AAO⁃HNS）scale at one day, one week and one year after surgery. Results Total resection was performed in 31 cases (79.49%) and nearly total resection in 8 cases (20.51%). Facial nerve anatomical preservation was achieved in all patients, and facial nerve function returned to normal or nearly normal (H⁃B grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ) 84.62% (33/39), moderate facial paralysis (H⁃B grade Ⅲ) 10.27% (4/39), moderate and severe facial paralysis (H⁃B grade Ⅳ) 5.13% (2/39) on the first day after surgery. One week after surgery, 71.79% (28/39) of patients with normal or nearly normal facial nerve function, 15.38% (6/39) of moderate facial paralysis, 10.27% (4/39) of moderate and severe facial paralysis, and 2.56% (1/39) of severe facial paralysis (H⁃B grade Ⅴ). One year after surgery, 92.31% (36/39) of patients with facial nerve function returned to normal or nearly normal, 5.13% (2/39) of patients with moderate facial paralysis, and 2.56% (1/39) of patients with moderate and severe facial paralysis. Among the 10 patients (25.64%) who retained effective hearing before surgery (AAO⁃HNS grade≥C), there were 4, 3 and 6 cases at one day, one week and one year after surgery, respectively. Those who did not retain effective hearing before surgery did not recover effective hearing after surgery. According to the comparison of tumor volume and nature, the proportion of patients with normal facial nerve function (H⁃B grade Ⅰ) in the tumor volume≤3 cm group was higher than that in＞3 cm group [12/18 vs. 19.05% (4/21); Fisher's exact probability: P=0.006], the proportion of patients with normal facial nerve function in the solid tumor group was higher than that in cystic group [71.43% (15/21) vs. 1/10; Fisher's exact probability: P=0.010] at one year after surgery. Conclusions The membranous concept in vestibular schwannoma surgery can protect facial nerve function well, and has a positive effect on the protection of cochlear nerve and brain stem.

The concentrated blueberry candied syrup and the whole milk sterilized pure milk were used as raw material to prepare set yoghurt. The influence of addition amount for blueberry candied syrup, sugar content, starter inoculation quantity and fermentation time on the yogurt sensory quality, whey exhalation rate and acidity were investigated. Furthermore, the response surface experiment was carried out on the basis of single factor experiment to optimize the set yoghurt preparation technological parameters. Then the texture parameters of yoghurt were compared with those of commercial yoghurt. The results showed that the optimal preparation technology of blueberry set yoghurt was as follows: The addition amount of concentrate blueberry candied syrup (concentration ratio 2 with the total sugar content 0.679 mg/mL) in the yoghurt 7%, custer sugar 4%, starter inoculation amount 0.6%, whey protein powder 2%, and fermentation control time 11 h. Under these conditions, the whey release rate was 12.43%, the acidity was 83.66°T and the sensory score reached the highest score 88.13. The blueberry set yoghurt was purple with strong frankincense and blueberry flavor. The hardness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of this product were lower than those of commercially available fermented milk, but the water holding capacity was stronger. It was more delicate and refreshing, which tasted better than the commercially available products with thickening agent addition. In this study, the basic preparation conditions of set yoghurt of blueberry preserved fruit syrup were determined, which provided useful reference for improving the comprehensive utilization value of blueberry preserved fruit syrup and developing new fruity set yoghurt.

To study the antioxidant and immune protection activity of velvet antler (VA) in cyclophosphamide-induced immunocompromised mice, BALB/c mice were intragastrically administered 100, 300, or 500 mg/(kg·d) VA for 30 days, and were intraabdominally injected with cyclophosphamide to create a hypoimmune murine model. Cellular immunity, macrophage phagocytic activity, natural killer (NK) cell activity, white blood cell count, splenic lymphocyte subsets and the mRNA expression levels of serum cytokines were analysed. We found that the IC50 for removing 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), OH, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals of VA were 0.476, 4.33, and 37.92 mg/mL, respectively. VA could enhance innate and adaptive immunity of mice by improving cellular immunity, macrophage phagocytic ability, and NK cell activity; promoting the production of IL-4, IFN-γ, TNF-α and other cytokines; increasing the content and ratio of lymphocyte subsets. These results indicate that VA has good antioxidant activity and can improve the immune function of cyclophosphamide-induced immunodeficient mice.

Foamy viruses belong to the Spumaretrovirinae subfamily member of the Retroviridae family and produce nonpathogenic infection to hosts in the natural conditions. However, infections of foamy viruses can dramatically cause severe cytopathic effects in vitro. To date, the exact molecular mechanism has remained unclear which implied the tremendous importance of virus-host cell immune reactions. In this study, we found that the transactivator Tas in two foamy viruses isolated from Old World Monkey (OWM) induced obvious inhibition of cell proliferation via the upregulation of Foxo3a expression. It was mediated by the generation of ROS and the initiation of ER stress, and ultimately, the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway was triggered. Notably, PFV Tas contributed to the accumulation of G0/G1 phase cycle arrest induced by the activation of the p53 signaling pathway and the nuclear transportation of HDAC4 via upregulating PPM1E expression. Together, these results demonstrated the different survival strategies by which foamy virus can hijack host cell cytokines and regulate virus-host cell interactions.

Objective： A tomato weight detection method based on image processing was established to realize non-contact tomato weight detection. Methods： The binary image of tomato was obtained through image processing. The geometric features of tomato were extracted by pixel statistics and minimum circumscribed rectangle method, and correlation analysis was made between the characteristics and the real value of tomato weight, then the regression model of tomato weight detection with geometric features as parameters was established. Results： Compared with the real size of tomato, the measurement error of transverse and longitudinal diameter of Tomato by minimum external rectangle method was less than 3%. In addition to fruit shape index, other geometric characteristics were linearly correlated with tomato fruit weight, and the correlation between positive characteristics and fruit weight was more significant. Three types of 20 models were established for prediction and evaluation. The multiple regression model with the parameters of tomato front projection area and perimeter, projection area of a side image and tomato transverse diameter had the highest accuracy, the regression coefficient was 0.962, the average relative error of detection value was 0.673%, and the average absolute error was 1.425 g. Conclusion： The model is suitable for the weight detection of tomatoes and other fruits or articles with similar axisymmetric shape characteristics.

Functional advantages can better promote bilateral trade between the two countries.

In the commonly used first-principles methods,density functional theory(DFT) has the characteristics of low scale and high accuracy,so it has been more and more widely used in the fields of chemistry,biology,medicine and so on.However,in practical applications,its relatively high computational cost has posed new challenges to the decision-making on calculation parameters for users and the assignment of tasks for the computing centers.We have recently developed a time prediction system for DFT calculations based on machine learning technique,which can predict the actual computational cost before calculations.The mean relative errors are normally less than 0.15,so that it meets the prediction accuracy requirements in actual scenarios.In this work,we further promote and improve the prediction system,providing multi-GPU parallel computing functions and modular additions to the machine learning models;combined it with the biomed community to realize real-time display of the computing tasks submitted to the platform,which will be convenient for users to coordinate;an intelligent load balancing module is developed,which can improve the efficiency of first-principles calculations for the super-large molecules and cluster systems.These efforts improve the practicalities of the forecasting system,and the preliminary applications are reported in both the community platform and parallel computing.

In order to improve the hardness and corrosion resistance of AZ91D magnesium alloy, a double - layer Ni - P coating was prepared on its surface by electroless plating without hydrofluoric acid, and the optimal double - layer process was determined by characterizing the microstructure, composition, microhardness and corrosion resistance of the coating through the utilization of metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X - ray diffractometer (XRD), Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), microhardness tester and electrochemical workstation. Results showed that the coating obtained by first alkaline and then acid double - layer electroless plating process adhered well to the substrate, and possessed a thickness of 26.28 μm, a uniform and dense surface, and a linear roughness Ra of 0.623 μm. The obtained coating hardness by this process was 550.54 HV, which was 7.9 times higher than that of the substrate. Moreover, the inner layer with a P content of 3.209% had a crystal structure and crack holes, and the outer layer with a P content of 9.713% had few amorphous structure defects, which could cover the inner defects to improve corrosion resistance. Besides, compared with the substrate, the corrosion potential of the coating prepared using this process shifted positively by 719 mV and the self - corrosion current density was reduced by 2 orders of magnitude.

Objective To investigate the correlation between drinking habits and pathological characteristics of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Methods A preoperative questionnaire survey was conducted to understand the drinking habits of UTUC patients who were admitted to the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital for radical nephroureterectomy within one year from August 2020 to July 2021, and statistical analysis was performed in combination with their postoperative pathological characteristics. The statistical procedure was performed using SPSS 22.0 software, and firstly, the preliminary analysis was performed one by one using the columnar χ2 test on the pathological characteristics of UTUC tumors as the dependent variable and the factors related to patients' general information, past history and drinking habits as the independent variables, and the independent variables that met P < 0.2 between the case and control groups for each dependent variable were specified for screening. The screened variables were included in the binary Logistic regression analysis. A difference of P < 0.05 was used to indicate a statistically significant difference. Results A total of 239 patients, 134 males and 105 females, with a mean age of (68.1±9.98)years and a median disease duration of 4.8 months, were included in this study. Multifactorial Logistic regression results suggested that after adjusting for the effects of other variables, UTUC patients who had the habit of drinking at least once every hour during the daytime had a significantly increased risk of high grade (G3) tumors(OR=1.941, 95%CI: 0.352-1.029, P < 0.01); these patients also had a significantly decreased risk of multifocal UTUC tumors (OR=0.344, 95% CI: 1.18-5.582, P=0.004). The patients who had the habit of drinking over 100 mL water each time had a significantly decreased risk of mutifocal UTUC incidence (OR=0.477, 95%CI: 0.225-1.012, P=0.046). Patients who pay attention to daily water intakes had a significantly increased risk of renipelvic carcinoma (OR=2.530, 95%CI: 1.434-4.463, P=0.001) and a significantly decreased risk of ureteral carcinoma (OR=0.314, 95%CI: 0.172-0.573, P < 0.01). Other variables included in the regression model did not differ significantly in their effects on the occurrence of tumor pathological characteristics. Conclusion Having the awareness of drinking water every 1 h during the day, drinking over 100 mL water each time, having the awareness of daily drinking habits correlated significantly with pathological characteristics of UTUC such as the presence of G3 tumor, multifocal tumors and location of the tumor. This conclusion still needs to be verified by subsequent trials with higher levels of evidence.
