A key issue of the industrial Internet of Things data storage is ensuring the large volume of data generated by devices and sensors in the environment is stored and processed in real-time, which prevents unauthorized access, tampering, or misuse of the data. Blockchain has features of traceability and tamper-resistance, making it suitable for secure data storage and sharing in industrial Internet of Things. However, problems such as low throughput and poor scalability are existing. To address these issues, this paper proposed a blockchain multi-chain storage model tailored for the industrial Internet of Things. Firstly, it used multiple blockchains to process data in parallel, where different blockchains defined distinct datasets to achieve physical isolation of data. Secondly, it eliminated the certificate authentication of SM2 algorithm, and involved multiple key generation centers in key generation, making it more suitable for industrial IoT scenarios. Finally, it used a hybrid encryption algorithm of SM2 and SM4 for encrypting communication data to enhance encryption and decryption speeds while ensuring data security. Experimental results demonstrate that the multi-chain storage structure significantly improves throughput compared to a single-chain structure, while also further enhancing data security.

The final joint of immersed tunnel is the last pipe segment before closure, and it is also the most difficult one to design and construct. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link immersed tunnel adopts the form of an integral prefabricated push-out final joint. A new push-out method with jack push-out as the main and hydraulic push-out as the auxiliary system was proposed. From the preparation of construction drawings and schemes to on-site testing, the risk management research was conducted in stages to sort out the risk situation in each stage, while identifying major risks. Combined with significant risk content, effective response measures such as process tooling design, supportive testing, and drills were taken in combination, forming a unique final joint risk management system, which can provide reference and inspiration for similar projects in the future.

In modern military warfare, the pattern of air-ground coordination with multi-formation has become more and more important. However, the existing target intention recognition methods are effective for single formation, but lack of effective solutions for multi-formation scenarios with air and ground coordination. In this paper, Dynamic Series Bayesian Network is used to identify the intention of air-to-ground cooperative formation. This method firstly constructs an overall model of intention recognition of air-to-ground cooperative formation by using DSBN, which is used to describe the cooperative action process between air and ground formations. Then, events in different battlefield domains and their related probability relations are fused together with auxiliary battlefield information. The inference network is used to recognize the intention of enemy cooperative formation. This method fully considers the behavior rules of the air target, describes its behavior pattern and trend in detail, and is more suitable for the scenario of multi-cooperative target formation. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of this method is verified by simulation example. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The whole cotton stalks are extremely difficult to pull out in Xinjiang in western China. Taking the cotton stalk as the research object, a stalk uprooting equipment with the toothed plate was designed and manufactured, in order to reduce the rate of breakage and leakage, a better performance was achieved without entering into the soil to take out the whole stalks plant, to reduce the influence of the working part on the recycling of the membrane. The device consisted of the V-shaped toothed plate group, the support to harvest clamping belt and tension adjustment. Mathematical analysis was performed on the movement of the V-type tooth plate group, and the support force of the harvesting belt clamping cotton stalks. The clamping point of cotton stalks and supporting stalks trajectory were established in the speed equation of the V-type tooth plate group, according to the agronomic requirements in the mechanical harvesting of cotton planting. The rotating speed of the tooth plate was greater than the proceeding speed. The speed of the clamping belt was much greater than the forward speed of the machine tool level. In order to determine the range of the working parameters, a three-factor and three-level second regression quadratic test was also designed to explore the importance of each parameter in the removal of cotton stalks using Design Expert 13 software. The forward speed, toothed-plate rotational speed, and belt speed were taken as the test factors, with the cotton stalk pulling rate and the leakage rate as the evaluation indexes. The results showed that there was the most significant effect on the pulling-off rate and the leakage rate, when the belt and forward speeds were more than 0.85, and 0.8 m/s, respectively. The response surface test was carried out to obtain the best combination of operating parameters in the cotton stalk pulling equipment, where the forward speed of 0.63 m/s, the rotational speed of the toothed plate of 58.57 r/min, and the belt speed of 0.71 m/s, the pulling breakage rate and the leakage rate were 3.90% and 4.34%, respectively. The field test showed that there was the most significant effect on the pulling breakage rate and the leakage rate, when the forward speed of 0.65 m/s, the rotational speed of the toothed plate of 58 r/min, and the belt speed of 0.71 m/s, the pulling breakage rate and leakage rate of straw pulling were 3.87%, and 4.48%, respectively, the relative error was within 5% with the theoretical prediction, indicating reliable optimization. The finding can also provide a strong reference to design the whole plant pulling device. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective　 To explore the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of the ethyl acetate extracted fraction of baliospermum solanifolium (bsea) in vitro and in vivo. Methods　 Forty-eight female mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, positive control group, and the high-, medium-, and low-dose BSEA groups, respectively. Mice in the positive control group were treated with aspirin (400 mg/kg) by gavage. BSEA (176, 88, and 44 mg/kg, respectively) was given to mice in the high-, medium-, and low-dose groups, and equal volume of 0. 5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose was given to the mice in the normal group by gavage. All of the above administration groups were given relevant medicine once a day, for consecutive 5 d. Except for the normal group, the acute inflammatory models were established. The carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice was used to explore the anti-inflammatory effects of the BSEA, and the corresponding activity was evaluated via the degree of the foot swelling and the inhibition rate. Chemical constituents were isolated and purified by chromatographic techniques, such as silica gel, MCI, Sephadex LH-20, and semipreparative HPLC, and their structures were identified by analysis of spectral data； Compound 2 was tested for the inhibitory activity against nitric oxide( NO) production in lipopolysaccharide( LPS)-stimulated RAW264. 7 cells and the mechanism of action was investigated by the molecular docking technology. Results　 After intragastrical administration for consecutive 5 d, no anomaly was observed for the mice, indicating that the tested sample had no effect on the normal vital activity of mice in the corresponding dosage conditions. The swelling degree of feet in the positive control group, and the high- and mediumdose BSEA groups was lower than that in the model group (P˂0. 05). Compared with the positive control group, the swelling degree of feet in the medium- and low-dose BSEA groups was higher (P˂0. 05). There were no significant differences in the swelling degree of feet between the positive control group and the high-dose BSEA group (P>0. 05). The swelling inhibition rates of the positive control group, and the high-, medium-, and low-dose BSEA groups were 45. 56%, 35. 57%, 27. 24% and 14. 19%, respectively. Four compounds were isolated and identified as 2,3-trans-6,7,4′-trimethoxyflavan- 3-ol (1), α-linolenic acid (2), methyl linolenate (3), and 1-linolenoyl glycerol (4). Compound 2 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against LPS-induced NO production with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of (22. 79±1. 48) μmol/L, and had good affinity to five targets relating to inflammation, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and tumour necrosis factor-α( TNF-α), with the docking binding energy of -7. 3, -6. 7, -6. 4, -6. 2, and -5. 9 kCal/mol, respectively. Conclusion　 BSEA exhibits anti-inflammatory activity； Compounds 1-4 are isolated from Baliospermum solanifolium for the first time； Compound 2 exhibits potential anti-inflammatory activity, and it may exert the effect by acting on inflammation-related targets such as iNOS, PPARα, NF-κB, IL-1β, and TNF-α.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the efficacy and safety of conventional treatment combined with Suhuang Zhike capsule for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang Data, VIP database, etc., randomized controlled trials about conventional treatment combined with Suhuang Zhike capsule for AECOPD were collected, and the references of included literature were manually searched for supplementary retrieval from the inception to Jun. 2021. After literature screening, quality evaluation and data extraction of included studies, Meta-analysis was carried out by using RevMan 5. 3 software, and Stata 15. 1 software was used to evaluate publication bias. RESULTS: A total of 1 680 patients with AECOPD were enrolled in 17 studies. Meta-analysis results showed that conventional treatment combined with Suhuang Zhike capsule was better than conventional treatment in improving total response rate (RR = 1. 17,95%CI = 1. 12-1. 22,P<0. 000 01), forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) (MD =0. 38,95%CI =0. 26-0. 49,P<0. 000 01), the percentage of forced expiratory volume at 1 second in forced vital capacity (FEV1 / FVC) (MD = 11. 44,95%CI = 7. 67-15. 22,P <0. 000 01), and C-reactive protein (CRP) level (SMD =-0. 97,95%CI =-1. 36--0. 59,P<0. 000 01),with statistically significant difference; there was no statistical significance in the incidence of adverse drug reaction between two groups (RR =1. 33,95%CI =0. 85-2. 08,P =0. 21). Results of publication bias test and non-parametric trim and fill method showed bias in the outcome indexes of total effective rate, but the possible publication bias did not affect the results. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the existing evidence, Suhuang Zhike capsule has positive efficacy in the adjuvant treatment of AECOPD, can improve the levels of lung function indicators (FEV1, FEV1 / FVC) and reduce the level of inflammation index (CRP), and shows good safety, but the above results still need to be reviewed with caution.

Peritoneal metastases (PM) are defined as the primary or secondary occurrence/progression of malignant tumor in peritoneum. PM were previously thought to be a terminal disease without effective treatment, with short survival and poor prognosis. With the change in the understanding of PM, the oncology communities regard it as a curable regional cancer metastasis, and create a comprehensive treatment technology system with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy as the core, and establish professional PM treatment centers based on this. The professional PM treatment centers have significantly prolonged the survival of patients, and some patients can even achieve clinical cure. However, in China, there are very few professional PM treatment centers, but the number of PM patients is huge, and most of the patients can’t receive professional treatment, resulting in poor survival and prognosis. Based on the cancer statistics in 2015 published by China National Cancer Center Registry and clinical outcome literature on peritoneal metastasis, this paper uses clinical epidemiology methodology to calculate the number of newly diagnosed patients with peritoneal metastasis, to estimate the number of specialized peritoneal cancer centers required, to provide data support for the promotion of professional treatment technology system for PM in our country, and to boost the development of peritoneal oncology.

In order to solve the problems of frequency splitting and low efficiency in wireless power transfer system, the electrical-field coupled wireless power transfer system with double-side LCLC compensation topology is taken as the research object in this study. The effect laws of variable parameters on the system output are analyzed by system modeling. The relationship between system efficiency and the important parameters is derived using the circuit theory, and the system efficiency is analyzed in detail using MATLAB simulation software. The correctness of simulation results are verified by experiments. The results show that adjusting the capacitance value of the coupling mechanism below the frequency division point can avoid frequency splitting in the system, while fixing the relative position of the coupling plates can improve the system efficiency by increasing the frequency of the system to the critical point of efficiency, and the best efficiency of the system can reach 89.4%.

BACKGROUND: The assessment of fracture risk still depends on bone mineral density testing. However, it ignores other mechanisms that affect fractures, including three-dimensional bone structures and material properties on multiple scales. Although bone mineral density provides useful information, its value in predicting fracture risk is limited. OBJECTIVE: A three-dimensional finite element model of proximal femur with different cancellous bone volume fractions was constructed to explore the effect of bone volume fraction on the apparent mechanical response of proximal femur. METHODS: The CT data of a volunteer’s proximal femur were collected and imported into Mimics to reconstruct the three-dimensional model in DICOM format. The osteoporotic cortical bone and cancellous bone were given corresponding material parameters. Then, the model was imported into Abaqus and the finite element model with 35%, 30%, 25%, 20% and 15% cancellous bone volume fractions was constructed by uniform deletion of the script. A reference point was established above the femoral head and a concentrated load was applied to the area of contact with the acetabulum above the femoral head to analyze the difference of mechanical response of the proximal femur under orthostatic stress. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Under the condition of standing load, the tensile stress on the upper and outer side of the femoral neck was always greater than the compressive stress on the medial and inferior side of the neck. With the decrease of cancellous bone volume fraction, the tensile stress and compressive stress of proximal femur increased gradually, and the maximum tensile stress and maximum compressive stress of 15% model were 1.91 times and 1.42 times of 35% model, respectively. The maximum principal strain increased by 4.76 times, and the overall stiffness of the femur decreased by 58%. (2) Under the condition of standing on one foot, the cortical bone of the femur bore more stress than the cancellous bone, and the cancellous bone played an indispensable role in the overall elastic response of the femur. (3) With the decrease of the volume fraction of cancellous bone, the tensile stress of the lateral superior side of the femoral neck increased greatly. The region of the lateral superior side of the neck is the most significant area of bone mass loss, and it is also in the area of stress concentration under the fall load. This suggests whether the relevant parameters of the lateral superior side of the neck (such as bone mineral density and volume fraction) may become a more sensitive index for predicting brittle femoral neck fracture, which is worth further exploring.
