Herein, we report a novel iron-catalyzed skeleton rearrangement of alkyl azides. Upon treatment with FeCl

Iron-catalyzed intramolecular C-H amination of aliphatic azides has recently emerged as a powerful tool for the preparation of nitrogen heterocycles. This paper reports that α-azidyl amides can be converted in high efficacy to imidazolinone compounds via intramolecular C(sp3)-H amination by the action of a simple catalytic system composed of FeCl2 and a β-diketiminate ligand. The reactions provide a simple and atom-economical approach toward polysubstituted imidazolinones.

Background: Due to the low physical fitness of the frail elderly, current exercise program strategies have a limited impact. Eight-form Tai Chi has a low intensity, but high effectiveness in the elderly. Inspired by it, we designed an exercise program that incorporates eight-form Tai Chi, strength, and endurance exercises, to improve physical fitness and reverse frailty in the elderly. Additionally, for the ease of use in clinical practice, machine learning simulations were used to predict the frailty status after the intervention. Methods: For 24 weeks, 150 frail elderly people completed the experiment, which comprised the eight-form Tai Chi group (TC), the strength and endurance training group (SE), and a comprehensive intervention combining both TC and SE (TCSE). The comparison of the demographic variables used one-way ANOVA for continuous data and the chi-squared test for categorical data. Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine significant main effects and interaction effects. Eleven machine learning models were used to predict the frailty status of the elderly following the intervention. Results: Two-way repeated measures ANOVA results before the intervention, group effects of ten-meter maximum walking speed (10 m MWS), grip strength (GS), timed up and go test (TUGT), and the six-minute walk test (6 min WT) were not significant. There was a significant interaction effect of group × time in ten-meter maximum walking speed, grip strength, and the six-minute walk test. Post hoc tests showed that after 24 weeks of intervention, subjects in the TCSE group showed the greatest significant improvements in ten-meter maximum walking speed (p < 0.05) and the six-minute walk test (p < 0.05) compared to the TC group and SE group. The improvement in grip strength in the TCSE group (4.29 kg) was slightly less than that in the SE group (5.16 kg). There was neither a significant main effect nor a significant interaction effect for TUGT in subjects. The stacking model outperformed other algorithms. Accuracy and the F1-score were 67.8% and 71.3%, respectively. Conclusion: A hybrid exercise program consisting of eight-form Tai Chi and strength and endurance exercises can more effectively improve physical fitness and reduce frailty among the elderly. It is possible to predict whether an elderly person will reverse frailty following an exercise program based on the stacking model.

The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in animals is an increasing concern for the agriculture and public health. A four-years (2016) successional study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial resistant profiles and molecular characterizations of the livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) from animal farms or slaughterhouses in Chongqing, China. A total of 1667 samples were collected from 2013 to 2016 in different animal farms and hog markets. LA-MRSA were isolated and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing and whole genome sequencing (WGS). S. aureus was detected at a ratio of 3.7% (n = 62), in which 18 isolates were identified as MRSA. All the S. aureus isolates were multidrug-resistant (MDR) with the resistance to at least four drugs; however, none of those isolates was resistant to linezolid, vancomycin, or nitrofurantoin. The resistance was more obvious in the pig-associated S. aureus isolates than the strains associated with chickens or cows. The majority of multilocus sequence typing (MLST) types of the MRSA isolates were ST239, subsequently ST59, ST9, and ST630. Among these isolates, 18 MRSA possessed SCCmec type Ⅲ (n = 10), Ⅳa (n = 4), Ⅻ (n = 3) and Ⅴ(n = 1). Multiple spa types were also detected in the isolates, such as 899, 437, 30, 421, 969, 37, and 4549. This study indicates that MRSA could be transferred between humans and animals, and highlights the necessity of continuous surveillance of MRSA.

Background Evidence for correlation between the cigarette use and blood pressure change remains ambiguous. This study modelled relationship between the duration of smoking and systolic blood pressure in a large national multi-ethnic cross-sectional survey in China. Methods Participants were selected through a multi-stage probability sampling procedure from 2012 to 2017. Former or current smokers were included in this study, whose smoking behaviour, blood pressure, and other demographic information were collected and measured through a face-to-face interview. Linear and non-linear relationships between the duration of smoking and systolic blood pressure were analysed and differences of the association between Han and minority populations were specially checked. Results A total of 8801 participants were enrolled in this study. Prevalence of hypertension was 41.3 and 77.8% were current smokers. For every additional year of smoking duration, systolic blood pressure raised by 0.325 mmHg (95% CI 0.296 to 0.354 mmHg, P P P Conclusions Smoking is associated with raised systolic blood pressure in Chinese population. This association is notedly stronger in Chinese minority populations.

In this paper, we investigate both deterministic and stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equations with anisotropic viscosity. For the deterministic case, we prove the global well-posedness of the system with initial data in the anisotropic Sobolev space (H) over tilde (0,1). For the stochastic case, we obtain existence of the martingale solutions and pathwise uniqueness of the solutions, which imply existence of the probabilistically strong solution to this system by the Yamada-Watanabe Theorem.

Most pituitary adenomas (PAs) are considered benign tumors, but approximately 0.2% can present metastasis and are classified as pituitary carcinomas (PCs). Refractory PAs lie between benign adenomas and true malignant PC and are defined as aggressive-invasive PAs characterized by a high Ki-67 index, rapid growth, frequent recurrence, and resistance to conventional treatments, including temozolomide. It is notoriously difficult to manage refractory PAs and PC because of the limited therapeutic options. As a promising therapeutic approach, cancer immunotherapy has been experimentally used for the treatment of many tumors, including pituitary tumors. The purpose of this review is to report the progress of immunotherapy in pituitary tumors, including refractory PAs and PCs. The tumor immune microenvironment has been recognized as a key contributor to tumorigenesis, progression, and prognosis. One study indicated that the number of CD68+ macrophages was positively correlated with tumor size and Knosp classification grade for tumor invasiveness. The infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was relatively scant in these adenomas, but pituitary growth hormone (GH) adenomas exhibited significantly more CD4+ and CD8+ T cells than non-GH adenomas. These results suggest an association of CD68+ macrophage infiltration with an increase in pituitary tumor size and invasiveness. Another study suggested that a lower number of CD8+ lymphocytes is associated with cavernous sinus invasion and resistance to treatment with first-generation somatostatin analogs in acromegaly patients, highlighting a potential role of the tumor immune microenvironment in determining the prognosis of somatotroph pituitary tumors. Preclinical studies have indicated that widely varying degrees of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are found among different subtypes. Functional PAs and aggressive PAs express significantly higher levels of PD-L1 and TILs than other subtypes, indicating that PD-1 blockade might be a promising alternative therapy for patients with aggressive PAs. PD-L1 transcript and protein levels were found to be significantly increased in functioning (GH and prolactin-expressing) pituitary tumors compared to nonfunctioning (null cell and silent gonadotroph) adenomas. Moreover, primary pituitary tumors harbored higher levels of PD-L1 mRNA than recurrent tumors. These findings suggest the possibility of considering checkpoint blockade immunotherapy for functioning pituitary tumors refractory to conventional management. Animal models of Cushing’s disease also demonstrated PD-L1 and TIL expression in cultured tumors and murine models, as well as the effectiveness of checkpoint blockade therapy in reducing the tumor mass, decreasing hormone secretion, and increasing the survival rate. Clinical studies show that immunotherapy may be an effective treatment in patients with pituitary tumors. One corticotroph carcinoma patient showed a significant reduction in hormone levels and shrinkage of the tumor size of primary and metastatic lesions immediately after investigational treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab. However, another patient with corticotroph adenoma progressed rapidly after four cycles of anti-PD-1 (pembrolizumab) treatment. To date, there are two registered clinical trials of immunotherapy for pituitary tumors. One of them is the phase II clinical trial of nivolumab combined with ipilimumab for patients with aggressive pituitary tumors (NCT04042753). The other one is also a phase II clinical trial of the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab for rare tumors, including pituitary tumors (NCT02834013). Both clinical trials are in the stage of recruiting patients and have not been completed. In summary, the results from preclinical research and clinical studies indicated that immunotherapy might be a promising alternative therapy for PCs and refractory PAs resistant to conventional treatments. The combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy or temozolomide may have synergistic effects compared to a single treatment. More preclinical and clinical studies are needed to further indicate the exact efficacy of immunotherapy in pituitary tumors.

1,2-Aryl migration of α,α-diaryl tertiary azides was achieved by using the catalytic system of FeCl2/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) SIPr·HCl. The reaction generated aniline products in good yields after one-pot reduction of the migration-resultant imines.

Background: Systematic review is an indispensable tool for optimal evidence collection and evaluation in evidence-based medicine. However, the explosive increase of the original literatures makes it difficult to accomplish critical appraisal and regular update. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been applied to automate the literature screening procedure in medical systematic reviews. In these studies, different algorithms were used and results with great variance were reported. It is therefore imperative to systematically review and analyse the developed automatic methods for literature screening and their effectiveness reported in current studies.Methods: An electronic search will be conducted using PubMed, Embase and IEEE Xplore Digital Library databases, as well as literatures found through supplementary search in Google scholar, on automatic methods for literature screening in systematic reviews. Two reviewers will independently conduct the primary screening of the articles and data extraction, in which nonconformities will be solved by discussion with a methodologist. Data will be extracted from eligible studies, including the basic characteristics of study, the information of training set and validation set, the function and performance of AI algorithms, and summarised in a table. The risk of bias and applicability of the eligible studies will be assessed by the two reviewers independently based on Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2). Quantitative analyses, if appropriate, will also be performed.Discussion: Automating systematic review process is of great help in reducing workload in evidence-based practice. Results from this systematic review will provide essential summary of the current development of AI algorithms for automatic literature screening in medical evidence synthesis, and help to inspire further studies in this field.

Automated facial recognition technology based on deep learning has achieved high accuracy in diagnosing various endocrine diseases and genetic syndromes. This study attempts to establish a facial diagnostic system for Turner syndrome (TS) based on deep convolutional neural networks.Photographs of 207 TS patients and 1074 female controls were collected from July 2016 to April 2019. Finally, 170 patients diagnosed with TS and 1053 female controls were included. Deep convolutional neural networks were used to develop the facial diagnostic system. A prospective study, which included two TS patients and 35 controls, was conducted to test the efficacy in the real clinical setting.The average areas under the curve (AUCs) in three different scenarios were 0.9540 ± 0.0223, 0.9662 ± 0.0108 and 0.9557 ± 0.0119, separately. The average sensitivity and specificity of the prospective study were 96.7% and 97.0%, respectively.The facial diagnostic system achieved high accuracy. Prospective study results demonstrated the application value of this system, which is promising in the screening of Turner syndrome.

Skipping breakfast has been suggested to increase the risk of depressive symptoms, but there is no information regarding young adults. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the frequency of breakfast consumption and the risk of depressive symptoms among Chinese college students. We investigated a cross-sectional (n = 1060) and one-year prospective (n = 757) relationship between the frequency of breakfast consumption and the risk of depressive symptoms. The frequency of breakfast consumption was categorized into &ldquo, &le, 1 time/week&rdquo, &ldquo, 2&ndash, 5 times/week&rdquo, or &ldquo, &ge, 6 times/week&rdquo, Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 20-item Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS) with an SDS score of &ge, 50 to indicate moderate to severe depressive symptoms. In the cross-sectional analysis, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of depressive symptoms related with the breakfast consumption categories were 1.00 (reference) for &ge, 6 times/week, 1.761 (95% CI: 1.131, 2.742) for 2&ndash, 5 times/week, and 3.780 (95% CI: 1.719, 8.311) for &le, 1 time/week (p for trend: &lt, 0.001) after adjusting for these potential confounders. Similarly, in the one-year prospective analysis, we found that 10.2% of participants was classified as having moderate to severe depressive symptoms. Multivariate logistic regressions analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between the frequency of breakfast consumption and the risk of depressive symptoms. The ORs (95% CI) for depressive symptoms with decreasing breakfast consumption frequency were 1.00 (reference) for &ge, 6 times/week, 2.045 (1.198, 3.491) for 2&ndash, 5 times/week, and 2.722 (0.941, 7.872) for &le, 1 time/week (p for trend: 0.005). This one-year prospective cohort study showed that skipping breakfast is related to increased risk of depressive symptoms among Chinese college students. Future research using interventional or experimental studies is required to explore the causal relationship between the effects of breakfast consumption and depressive symptoms.

Background Macrosomia is associated with both neonatal complications and adult diseases (obesity, diabetes mellitus, etc.). Previous studies have reported maternal exposure to PM2.5 might influence metabolism and fetal development and cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. Studies conducted in areas with low PM2.5 concentration have found relationship between gestational PM2.5 exposure and birth weight. However, the impact of air pollution on macrosomia has not been studied, especially in highly polluted areas. Objective To evaluate the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure during pregnancy and the risk of macrosomia. Methods Data from preconception health examination and prenatal and postnatal records were collected from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2012 in the National Free Preconception Health Examination Project. Monthly mean of PM2.5 concentration during pregnancy was estimated from satellite data using an ensemble machine learning model. A newborn with birth weight above 4000 g was defined as macrosomia. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between maternal exposure to PM2.5 and the risk of macrosomia, after adjusting for maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, parity, neonatal sex, duration of gestation, seasonality, educational level, smoking and drinking habits, past history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and family history of diabetes mellitus. Restricted cubic spline models were used to evaluate the dose-response relationship between the risk of macrosomia and PM2.5 concentration. Results Of 177 841 singleton nonlow birth weight newborns included, 14 598 (8.2%) had macrosomia. The mean PM2.5 concentrations were 70.7, 71.5, and 80.9 μg/m3 in the first, second, and third trimesters. In full-adjusted logistic regression models, significant associations were found between increased risk of macrosomia and every 10 μg/m3 increase of PM2.5 concentration over the first (odds ratio [OR]: 1.045; 95% CI, 1.037-1.052), second (OR: 1.035; 95% CI, 1.028-1.043), and third (OR: 1.033; 95% CI, 1.026-1.039) trimesters. There was a nonlinear does-response association between PM2.5 concentration and the risk of macrosomia. Conclusions Maternal exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of macrosomia in China.

This study aims to propose an exponentially weighted proportional fair (EWPF) scheduling algorithm for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system for long-term evolution downlink transmission. The proposed algorithm improves the system performance in the user-perceived throughput (UPT) by adding exponential weights to different types of services. The UPT employed to measure the system capability is novel and customer oriented; it reflects the experiences of users in an efficient manner and determines whether the users scheduling is reasonable. The EWPF algorithm is compared with two other schedulers, and our simulation results showed that the EWPF can increase the overall UPT and can maintain the fairness for prioritizing the transmission of some types of traffic.

Determine the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of pediatric hearing loss classification using behavioral evidence of early prelingual auditory development (EPLAD). Validate behavioral measures of EPLAD.EPLAD was assessed in a prospective sample of hearing-impaired children using the infant-toddler meaningful auditory integration scale (ITMAIS/MAIS). Hearing losses were classified using tone-burst auditory brainstem response (ABR) and ITMAIS/MAIS scores. This process was repeated in a second retrospective sample.The prospective sample was comprised of 139 hearing-impaired children under five years of age. Approximately equal proportions of mild-moderate, severe, and profound losses were included. The second retrospective sample was comprised of case records for 144 hearing-impaired children meeting the same selection criteria. This sample contained more than 80% profound losses.EPLAD trajectories reached different asymptotes after two years of age, depending on the severity of hearing loss, allowing children over this age to be classified. The sensitivity of EPLAD classifications was over 90%; specificity was over 82%; and accuracy was over 88%.Behavioral evidence of EPLAD provides an initial means of classifying pediatric hearing losses which can facilitate initial treatment options prior to diagnostic evaluation with tone-burst ABR.

The domain name system (DNS) is an important infrastructure of the Internet, providing domain name resolution services for almost all Internet communication systems. However, the current DNS is centrally managed, leading to unfair sovereignty of the Internet among countries. A domestic DNS is unable to work normally, noted as isolated management risk (IMR), especially when the national network is isolated from the rest of the Internet. To improve understanding of the DNS isolated management risk for better DNS resource deployment, it is critical to determine how serious the IMR is among various countries. In order to quantify DNS isolated management risk, this paper proposed an effective approach to collect DNS resolution demand data from the network used by various intelligent devices and to conduct data analysis to estimate isolated management risk of certain country&rsquo, s domestic DNSs. Our idea is to quantify the domain name resolution demand and its relationship with the overseas resolution processes. We further used our quantitative method to compare the IMR of the USA and China and analyzed the difference between them.

The coordination polymers, {[Cu(Hbidc)(2, 2′-bpy)(H2O)]·2H2O}n (1) and {[Mn(Hbidc)(2, 2′-bpy) (H2O)2]·2H2O}n (2) (H3bidc = benzimidazole-5, 6-dicarboxylic acid, 2, 2′-bpy = 2, 2′-bipyridine), were synthesized in solution and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 consist of different 1D chain structures. In both compounds, 2, 2′-bpy is chelating in a bidentate manner, whereas the Hbidc ligands in complexes 1 and 2 display chelating-bridging tridentate and bridging bidentate coordination modes. The two complexes are further extended into 3D supramolecular structures through O–H···O and N–H···O hydrogen bonds. The thermal stabilities of complexes 1 and 2 were studied by thermogravimetric analyses (TGA).

With the rapid development of WLAN, more and more schools and businesses have begun to provide the WLAN for users. However, WLAN is considerably more susceptible to MitM (man- in-the-middle) attack. To overcome it, we propose a dynamic password technology named Two-way Dynamic Authentication Technology (TDAT). It uses two-factor during the initial authentication, and uses a two-way hash chain during the cross-domain authentication. TDAT effectively protects users' authentication credentials and improves users' experience. In an actual wireless network environment, we implement a MitM attack framework based on Rogue AP. Then we effectively prevent this MitM attack by using TDAT. Moreover we analyze the security of TDAT by using BAN logic.

Protein farnesylation refers to the addition of a 15-carbon farnesyl isoprenoid to the cysteine residue of the CaaX motif at the carboxy terminus of target proteins. In spite of its known roles in plant development and abiotic stress tolerance, how these processes are precisely regulated by farnesylation had remained elusive. We recently showed that CYP85A2, the cytochrome P450, which converts castasterone to brassinolide in the last step of brassinosteroid synthesis must be farnesylated in order to function in this pathway. Lack of either CYP85A2 or the farnesylation motif of CYP85A2 resulted in reduced brassinolide accumulation, hypersensitivity to ABA, and increased plant drought tolerance. In this study, we have assessed the influence of the N-terminal secretory signal and the C-terminal CaaX motif of CYP85A2 in mediating CYP85A2 function and targeting to endomembrane compartments. We show that CaaX motif could still target CYPA85A2 in the absence of an intact N-terminal secretory signal to the respective membrane compartments and partially rescue cyp85a2-2 phenotypes. However, in the absence of both the CaaX motif and the secretory signal, CYP85A2 is not targeted to the membranes and becomes unstable.

This study investigates the effect of aluminum (Al) on the microstructure, micro-hardness, and wettability of environmentally friendly Sn-20Bi-xAl (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 (wt.%)) solder alloys. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD), were used to identify the microstructure morphology and composition. The spreading area and contact angle of the Sn-20Bi-xAl alloys on Cu substrates were used to measure the wettability of solder alloys. The results indicate that Al increased the hardness to a maximum value of ~27.1 HV for x = 0.5. When the content of Al was more than 0.3 wt.%, the hardness change value gradually flattened. From the spreading test results, Al reduced the wettability of solder alloys. When the content of Al was 0.1 wt.%, the change was slight. When more than 0.3 wt.%, the wettability of Sn-20Bi-xAl solder alloys sharply dropped. The corrosion resistance of Sn-20Bi-0.1Al alloy was the best, and the corrosion rate was at the lowest value at 0.092 mm/a due to the dense corrosion products.

Protein farnesylation is a post-translational modification involving the addition of a 15-carbon farnesyl isoprenoid to the carboxy terminus of select proteins(1-3). Although the roles of this lipid modification are clear in both fungal and animal signalling, many of the mechanistic functions of farnesylation in plant signalling are still unknown. Here, we show that CYP85A2, the cytochrome P450 enzyme that performs the last step in brassinosteroid biosynthesis (conversion of castasterone to brassinolide)(4), must be farnesylated to function in Arabidopsis. Loss of either CYP85A2 or CYP85A2 farnesylation results in reduced brassinolide accumulation and increased plant responsiveness to the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and overall drought tolerance, explaining previous observations(5). This result not only directly links farnesylation to brassinosteroid biosynthesis but also suggests new strategies to maintain crop yield under challenging climatic conditions.

To investigate the change of serum myeloperoxidase (MPO) and lipoxin A4 (LXA4) in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with anxiety and depression and its clinical significance.From December 2010 to February 2011, 143 CHD patients and 44 non-CHD patients (the control group) hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology at the Second Xiangya Hospital were enrolled. The hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) was used to evaluate the psychological state of all patients and the CHD patients were assigned to an anxiety and depression group (n=57) or a non-depression and anxiety group (n=86). The serum levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), MPO, and LXA4 were examined, and the ratio of MPO and LXA4 (M/L) was calculated.The levels of Hs-CRP, MPO, and LXA4 as well as M/L ratios in both CHD groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P0.01). Compared with the non-anxiety and depression group, the levels of MPO and LXA4, and M/L ratios in the anxiety and depression group increased (all P0.05). Correlation analysis showed that MPO was positively correlated with the score of HADS-total (HADS-t), HADS-anxiety (HADS-a), or HADS-depression (HADS-d), while LXA4 was negatively correlated with HADS-t or HADS-d. Multiple ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that higher HADS-t score, stable angina, unstable angina, and acute myocardial infarction were the independent impact factors for the elevation of M/L ratio.Anxiety and depression may aggravate the inflammatory response in CHD patients. The imbalance between inflammation and anti-inflammation may be part of the mechanism.

Photometric calibration plays important role when building seamless appearance of multi-projector display. In this paper, we address photometric issues on chrominance variation and luminance nonuniformity in multi-display system constructed using LCD projectors. A three-phase approach is proposed to construct imaging models, which makes transformations among them when formulating the whole imaging procedure. These models are named as single-projector model, normalized-projector model and display-wall model. Single-projector model describes the imaging procedure from the projector's input color to its measured tristimulus values in CIEXYZ. Normalized-projector model denotes the common gamut of projectors, which normalizes each single-projector model, and makes every projector have the same ranges of chrominance and luminance. The display-wall model treats the whole display as one projector, which has similar photometric model to single LCD projector. Weighting light contributions from all projectors using the display wall model, our method can achieve visually plausible seamlessness.
