Empirical studies have shown that beliefs in conspiracy theories are associated with low self-reported attitudinal trust in other people in general. However, self-reports do not always reflect actual behaviors. The present study investigates whether beliefs in conspiracy theories are negatively associated with actual trust behavior. We conducted a secondary analysis to examine correlations between conspiracy beliefs and trust behavior measured in a monetarily incentivized economic game (trust game) as well as self-reported attitudinal general trust. The results demonstrated that the more people believed in conspiracy theories, the less they entrusted their money to strangers when there was a risk of being betrayed and losing money. The present research confirms that conspiracy beliefs are associated with low trust regardless of whether trust is self-reported attitude or actual behavior which entails the risk of betrayal.

The path programming of the unmanned ground vehicle（UGV） was studied under the framework of the deep Q-network（DQN） algorithm. To improve the exploration efficiency, the DQN algorithm was applied through discretization of the continuous state into the discrete state. To balance between exploration and exploitation, the Gaussian noise was added only in the output layer of the network, and a progressive reward function was designed. Finally, experiments were carried out in the Gazebo simulation environment. The simulation results show that, first, this strategy can quickly program a collision-free route from the initial point to the target point, and the convergence speed is significantly higher than those of the Q-learning algorithm, the DQN algorithm and the noisynet＿DQN algorithm; second, this strategy has the generalization ability about the initial point, the target point and the obstacles, as well as verified effectiveness and robustness.

Benzenes of wide sources can cause serious air pollution. In this study, a novel enrichment sampling device based on multi-capillary column was developed and coupled to portable photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PI-TOF-MS) to highly and sensitively detect benzenes in ambient air. The enrichment sampling device was composed of seven identical HP-PLOT Q capillary columns (0.10 m×0.53 mm×40 μm) coated with polystyrene-divinylbenzene, which could achieve efficient adsorption of benzenes at room temperature. The homebuilt portable PI-TOF-MS has a volume of (0.47×0.35×0.38) m³, a weight of 35 kg, and a resolution of better than 1 000 (full width at half-maximum, FWHM) at m/z 92. Benzene, toluene and p-xylene gas diluted by nitrogen were used to optimize the operating parameters of the whole system. The optimal sampling flow rate was selected as 500 mL/min, the enrichment time was 4 min, the thermal desorption temperature was 160 ℃, and the analytical time for single sample was less than 10 min. Compared with direct sampling, the signal intensities of benzene, toluene and p-xylene were enhanced by 130, 220 and 255 folds under the optimal conditions, respectively. The linearity, limit of quantitation (LOQ) and stability of the system were evaluated. As a result, the linear concentration range of 6.96-1 741.05 μg/m3 for benzene, 8.21-2 053.55 μg/m³ for toluene, and 9.46-2 366.05 μg/m³ for p-xylene were obtained with the correlation coefficients (R²) of 0.993 8, 0.999 7 and 0.999 1, respectively. The limits of quantification (LOQs, S/N=10) were 0.78, 0.63 and 0.76 μg/m³, respectively. The relative standard deviations of the signal strengths for the three compounds were less than 6% during seven analytical cycles. Finally, the developed multi-capillary column enrichment portable PI-TOF-MS was used for comparative analysis of indoor and outdoor air in the laboratory. As a consequence, toluene and p-xylene were detected in both indoor and outdoor air of the laboratory. The indoor concentrations of the two compounds were 2.6 and 23.3 μg/m³, respectively, which were much lower than the legal limit concentrations. Due to better ventilation, the outdoor concentrations of toluene and p-xylene were 0.5 and 16.4 μg/m³, respectively. In addition, ethanol, methanthiol, acetone, etc. were also detected in indoor air of the laboratory, which may come from human exhalations or chemical reagent emissions. The results showed that the instrument can meet the requirements of trace benzenes detection in ambient air, and has broad application prospects in the field of on-site environmental analysis.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have strong antibacterial activity and are extensively used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. As a good substitute for chemical surfactants, biosurfactants are used as dispersants to synthesize nanoparticles (NPs), which are green and environ-mentally friendly. Lipopeptide biosurfactant (BS3096) was produced by the fer-mentation of Brevibacillus borstelensis isolated from an oil field. BS3096 was then used as dispersant and stabilizer to synthesize Ag NPs. The synthesized Ag NPs were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, laser particle-size analyzer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. Antibacterial evaluation was performed considering the synergistic effect with surfactants. Results show that the synthesized Ag NPs has good dispersion stability with an average particle size of 23 nm and had strong antibacterial activity against Bacillus alkalitelluris (Gram-positive bacteria) and Escherichia coli DH5α (Gram-negativebacteria). Results of scanning electron microscopy show that Ag NPs exerte a strong destructive effect on bacterial-cell membranes, verifying that the antibacterial mechanism of Ag NPs on bacteria is membrane damage and that bacterial death is caused by the leakage of intracellular substances. Hence, the Ag NPs synthesized using lipopeptide biosurfactant has good antibacterial activity and are a potentially efficient antibacterial material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To identify M1 macrophage-related genes in rejection after kidney transplantation and construct a risk prediction model for renal allograft survival. Methods GSE36059 and GSE21374 datasets after kidney transplantation were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. GSE36059 dataset included the samples from the recipients with rejection and stable allografts. Using this dataset, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and differential analysis were conducted to screen the M1 macrophage-related differentially expressed gene (M1-DEG). Then, GSE21374 dataset (including the follow-up data of graft loss) was divided into the training set and validation set according to a ratio of 7∶3. In the training set, a multivariate Cox’s model was constructed using the variables screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and the ability of this model to predict allograft survival was evaluated. CIBERSORT was employed to analyze the differences of infiltrated immune cells between the high-risk group and low-risk group, and the distribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-related genes was analyzed between two groups. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to further clarify the biological process and pathway enrichment in the high-risk group. Finally, the database was employed to predict the microRNA (miRNA) interacting with the prognostic genes. Results In the GSE36059 dataset, 14 M1-DEG were screened. In the GSE21374 dataset, Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8), Fc gamma receptor 1B (FCGR1B), BCL2 related protein A1 (BCL2A1), cathepsin S (CTSS), guanylate binding protein 2(GBP2) and caspase recruitment domain family member 16 (CARD16) were screened by LASSO-Cox regression analysis, and a multivariate Cox’s model was constructed based on these 6 M1-DEG. The area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic of this model for predicting the 1- and 3-year graft survival was 0.918 and 0.877 in the training set, and 0.765 and 0.736 in the validation set, respectively. Immune cell infiltration analysis showed that the infiltration of rest and activated CD4+ memory T cells, γδT cells and M1 macrophages were increased in the high-risk group (all P<0.05). The expression level of HLA I gene was up-regulated in the high-risk group. GSEA analysis suggested that immune response and graft rejection were enriched in the high-risk group. CTSS interacted with 8 miRNA, BCL2A1 and GBP2 interacted with 3 miRNA, and FCGR1B interacted with 1 miRNA. Conclusions The prognostic risk model based on 6 M1-DEG has high performance in predicting graft survival, which may provide evidence for early interventions for high-risk recipients.

Objectives Based on the information from the random inspection of foods by the China Food and Drug Administration in 2022, the contamination levels of lead ions are high in many edible products. Traditional methods of detecting lead ions cannot meet the requirements of on-site analysis of food due to the need for large equipment. The immunochromatographic assay (ICA) is an effective, rapid, on-site analytical technique for determining lead ions in foods. However, the performance of ICA based on the traditional probe (AuNP-mAb) is limited by ignoring the influence of the antibody orientation. Materials and Methods In this study, we developed an efficient technology for constructing a universal probe (AuNP-PrA-mAb) based on the oriented immobilization of antibody. The performance of ICA was largely improved due to specific binding of the Fc region of the antibody with recombinant protein A (PrA) on the surface of a gold nanoparticle (AuNP). The ICA based on a universal probe was applied for the qualitative and quantitative detection of lead ions in Procambarus clarkii within 30 min. Meanwhile, a simple and fast pretreatment method based on dilute acid extraction was developed for pretreating the P. clarkii containing lead ions. Results The visual limit of detection and the scanning limit of quantization of the developed ICA strip for lead ions were 0.5 ng/mL and 0.28 ng/mL, respectively. The sensitivity of ICA based on universal probe was 10-fold higher than that of the ICA using traditional probe. Furthermore, the detection results had no obvious difference between the ICA and ICP-MS with t -test statistical method. Conclusions The developed ICA based on a universal probe presented broad application prospects in detecting contaminants in foods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: At present, the possible risk factors and pathogenesis of the recurrent vertebral fractures after injection of calcium phosphate cement in percutaneous kyphoplasty are still controversial. The main points are related to the clinical characteristics of patients and surgical related factors. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors of the recurrent fractures in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture after injection of calcium phosphate cement in percutaneous kyphoplasty. METHODS: The clinical data of 162 patients (191 vertebrae) with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from February 2016 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients, aged 51-88 years, were treated with kyphoplasty and injection of calcium phosphate cement. All patients were followed up for more than 2 years. There were 34 cases (44 vertebrae) with refracture after operation, and 128 cases (147 vertebrae) without refracture as control group. The age, sex ratio, bone cement injection volume, unilateral or bilateral puncture, symmetrical distribution of bone cement across the midline, leakage of bone cement, contact of bone cement with upper and lower endplates, number of fractured vertebral bodies before operation, distribution of fractured vertebral bodies before operation, compression degree of fracture before operation, taking anti-osteoporosis drugs after operation, bone mineral density before operation and old vertebral fractures before operation, Cobb angle change after operation and recovery rate of anterior edge height after operation were compared between the two groups. Univariate independent sample t-test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) There were significant differences between the two groups in age, symmetrical distribution of bone cement across the midline and distribution of bone cement on endplate (P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in other indexes (P > 0.05). (2) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (P=0.006, OR=1.086), bone cement contact with the upper and lower endplates (P=0.025, OR=2.516) and bone cement in the vertebral body without midline symmetry (P=0.012, OR=0.344) were independent risk factors for recurrent vertebral fractures. (3) The results showed that the elderly status of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, bone cement contacting the upper and lower endplates at the same time and not crossing the midline symmetry were independent risk factors for the new fracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty. The different distribution of bone cement in the vertebrae affected the new fracture by changing the internal stress of the vertebrae and the spinal line of force. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
