BACKGROUND: At present, the incidence of scoliosis is increasing year by year, especially in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Therefore, it is more and more important to strengthen the research on the treatment of adolescent scoliosis. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the current status, hotspots, emerging trends, and frontiers of global research on the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to provide reference and guidance for future related research. METHODS: The literature related to the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis was retrieved on the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database from 2013 to 2023. CiteSpace 6.2.R1 software was used for visual analysis of countries, institutions, authors, and keywords. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 561 English articles were included in this study. Among countries, institutions, and authors, the United States has contributed the most. Nanjing University and Qiu, Yong (Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing University School of Medicine) are the most published institution and author. The academic journal with the largest number of articles is the European Spine Journal. (2) In the analysis of cited literature, the top 10 most cited articles mainly describe the effects of surgical treatment and conservative treatment on improving adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, especially improving the curvature of patients. (3) Through the summary of highly cited articles and the keyword clustering, keyword prominence in-depth mining, the research hotspots are currently the relationship between Cobb angle and treatment choice, the therapeutic effect of exercise therapy and the therapeutic effect of posterior vertebral fusion. (4) The prognosis of patients with different curvatures has not been studied in depth, and the etiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis has not been clarified, so the relationship between curvature and prognosis and the etiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may be a new research trend in the future.

Objective To study the risk factors of female breast cancer in Chongqing area to provide the evidence for the prevention work of breast cancer. Methods Through the way of questionnaire survey, 225 cases of breast cancer and 670 normal females without malignant tumor history and symptoms were collected in the Chongqing Municipal Cancer Hospital during 2016-2017. The case control study method was adopted to conduct the single factor and multiple factors logistic regression analysis with the age as the matching factor for screening the risk factors of breast cancer. Results The single factor analysis found that BMI, cultural degree, marital status, occupation, occupational exposure to harmful substances, tastes, oil level, edible salt drying foods, cook lampblack, passive smoking, drinking, drinking correlated with breast cancer (P<0. 05) . The factors of statistical significance were included into the multiple factors conditional logistic regression to conduct the analysis, the results showed that BMI, occupational exposure to harmful substances, passive smoking, drinking alcohol, depressed spirit, long lactation months and history of benign breast disease were the risk factors for breast cancer (P<0. 05) , while the high degree of culture, more roughage intake, more tea drinking and regular menstruation were the protective factors (P<0. 05) . Conclusion Breast cancer is the result of comprehensive action of many aspects, and the relevant departments should give more attention to do well the prevention work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To solve the problem of error cascades of traditional predicate invention method in inductive logic programming (ILP), an improved approach was proposed based on smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty (SCAD) regularized sparsity. Instead of explicitly creating new predicates, the predicate invention method implicitly grouped closely-related rules by regularized sparsity to regularize the parameters together. The regularized sparse model of SCAD was introduced into the soft predicate invention. For the unbiased sparseness, the influence of SCAD on soft predicate invention results was analyzed. The experiments were completed based on the dataset of European royalty family ties, and the values of μ and α were determined to improve the knowledge base. The results show that the proposed approach can effectively overcome the difficulty of error cascades, and the method can improve the mean average precision in predicate invention and shorten the query time of knowledge base. The mean average precision of the approach based on SCAD regularized sparsity is 0.798, which is more higher than the soft predicate invention method of 0.726 based on Laplacian regularization.

In order to discuss the new method of the experimental teaching reform, and inspire students' motives and enthusiasm for exploring problems, a design project of exploratory experiment is proposed. Through the method of reverse disassembling and reconstructing the optical fingerprint readers, students learn mapping and modeling the optical system of the fingerprint readers in this project. By the discussion of problems step by step throughout the course, students are guided to discover and probe questions. The design of the experiment includes 3 parts: mapping, modeling, and discussion. The mapping and modeling are divided into 4 continuous lab exercises, i. e. mapping of system layout, mapping of optical components, modeling and analysis of optical components, and modeling and simulation of system.And the discussion is allocated to more than half of the total class hour, including reading, questioning, and evolving the solutions and so on. Finally, in the evaluation, 6 aspects of design, selection, resource, question, cooperation and reply are overall considered. From the design and practice, it shows that discovering questions should be the main objective of the exploratory experiments, and this can be well realized by the way of reverse disassembly and reconstruction. On the other side, the open result without standard answers, and the question and evaluation for each other, help students pay more attention to the middle process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to study the influence of optical element adjustments on holographic grating fringes，ASAP was used to define positions，geometries，sizes and optical properties for the plant which includes laser， beam splitter， mirrors， beam expanders，collimating lens and holographic plate. It was also used to trace rays and then analyze the coherent energy distribution on the plate. Results show that when each elements optical surface center is at the same height， coaxial，also the beam expander and the collimating len is confocal， the fringe interval varies with the wavelength and the two optical path angle，the fringe contrast decrease while the beam splitting ratio increases. Non-coaxial mirror leads to fringe inclination and contrast decline. Once beam expanders and collimating lens are not confocal， fringes will change from straight to arc. Theoretical analysis and CCD observations under the laboratory circumstance are consistent with above ASAP simulation. Hence the simulation shows high credibility， has realistic guiding significance on avoid unexpected fringes resulting from incorrect optical element adjustments，and can be a reference to the actual holographic grating fabrication optical path adjustments.
