Abstract Background Cisplatin is commonly used to treat cervical cancer while drug resistance limits its effectiveness. There is an urgent need to identify strategies that increase cisplatin sensitivity and improve the outcomes of chemotherapy. Results We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) of 156 cervical cancer tissues to assess genomic features related to platinum-based chemoresistance. By using WES, we identified a frequently mutated locus SETD8 (7%), which was associated with drug sensitivity. Cell functional assays, in vivo xenografts tumor growth experiments, and survival analysis were used to investigate the functional significance and mechanism of chemosensitization after SETD8 downregulation. Knockdown of SETD8 increased the responsiveness of cervical cancer cells to cisplatin treatment. The mechanism is exerted by reduced binding of 53BP1 to DNA breaks and inhibition of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway. In addition, SETD8 expression was positively correlated with resistance to cisplatin and negatively associated with the prognosis of cervical cancer patients. Further, UNC0379 as a small molecule inhibitor of SETD8 was found to enhance cisplatin sensitivity both in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions SETD8 was a promising therapeutic target to ameliorate cisplatin resistance and improve the efficacy of chemotherapy.

Summary: Cisplatin resistance remains a major obstacle limiting the effectiveness of chemotherapy in cervical cancer. However, the underlying mechanism of cisplatin resistance is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog C (VPS13C) deficiency promotes cisplatin resistance in cervical cancer. Moreover, through an RNA sequencing screen, VPS13C deficiency was identified as negatively correlated with the high expression of glutathione S-transferase pi gene (GSTP1). Mechanistically, loss of VPS13C contributes to cisplatin resistance by influencing the expression of GSTP1 and inhibiting the downstream c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. In addition, targeting GSTP1 with the inhibitor NBDHEX effectively rescued the cisplatin resistance induced by VPS13C deficiency. Overall, our findings provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of VPS13C in cisplatin resistance and identify VPS13C as a promising candidate for the treatment of chemoresistance in cervical cancer.

Abstract The liquid‐solid contact electrification mechanism has been explored in the aqueous solution system, but there are few systematic studies on oil‐solid triboelectrification. Herein, an oil droplet triboelectric nanogenerator (Oil‐droplet TENG) is designed as the probe to investigate the charge transfer properties at oil‐solid interface. The charge transfer kinetics process is disclosed by the electrical signals produced, showing that the electron species initially predominated the oil‐solid triboelectrification. The molecular structure and electronic properties of oil also affect triboelectric performance. Further, the charge transfer principle in multi‐component liquid mixture during the electric double layer (EDL) development process is proposed to explain the component competition effect. As a proof of concept, a tubular‐TENG is designed as a self‐powered sensor for transformer oil trace water detection. The device demonstrates high water sensitivity with a detection limit of 10 µL L−1 and a response range of 10–100 µL L−1. This work not only reveals the oil‐solid triboelectric and charge transfer competition mechanism in EDL, but also open up a new channel for real‐time online monitoring of trace water in transformer oil, which holds promise for information perception and intelligent operation of transformers in the power industry.

Non-contact voltage sensors based on the principle of electric field coupling have the advantages of simple loading and unloading, high construction safety, and the fact that they are not affected by line insulation. They can accurately measure line voltage without the need to connect to the measured object. Starting from the principle of non-contact voltage measurement, this article abstracts a non-contact voltage measurement model into the principle of capacitive voltage sharing and deduces its transfer relationship. Secondly, it is theoretically inferred that the edge effect of the traditional symmetric structure sensor plate will cause the actual capacitance value between the sensor plates to be greater than the theoretically calculated capacitance value, resulting in a certain measurement error. Therefore, the addition of an equipotential ring structure is proposed to eliminate the edge additional capacitance caused by the edge effect in order to design the sensor structure. In addition, due to the influence of sensor volume, material dielectric constant, and other factors, the capacitance value of the sensor itself is only at pF level, resulting in poor low-frequency performance and imbuing the sensor with a low voltage division ratio. In this regard, this article analyzes the measurement principle of non-contact voltage sensors. By paralleling ceramic capacitors between the two electrode plates of the sensor, the capacitance of the sensor itself is effectively increased, improving the low-frequency performance of the sensor while also increasing the sensor’s voltage division ratio. In addition, by introducing a single pole double throw switch to switch parallel capacitors with different capacitance values, the sensor can have different voltage division ratios in different measurement scenarios, giving it a certain degree of adaptability. The final sensor prototype was made, and a high and low voltage experimental platform was built to test the sensor performance. The experimental results showed that the sensor has good linearity and high measurement accuracy, with a ratio error of within ±3%.

With the development of two-dimensional materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), MXenes and MBenes, these materials have received extensive attention from scholars in the field of gas sensing due to their unique and superior properties. Based on first-principles calculations, the adsorption energy, charge transfer, density of states and deformation charge density of CrB, an MBene successfully synthesized under laboratory conditions, were investigated for the adsorption of the decomposition components (CF4, C3F6 and COF2) of an insulating medium, C4F7N. The calculation results revealed strong chemisorption with an adsorption energy as high as −3.336 eV between CrB and COF2, as well as physical adsorption with CF4 and C3F6. However, the excessive interaction strength makes it difficult for COF2 molecules to escape from the binding of the CrB substrate, making CrB more suitable as an adsorbent to remove COF2 gas. Compared with COF2 and CF4, CrB has appropriate adsorption energy and charge transfer for C3F6 adsorption, and its theoretical recovery performance is acceptable, indicating its potential as a sensor for detecting C3F6.

Abstract Background The incidence rates of cervical cancer in developing countries have been steeply increasing while the medical resources for prevention, detection, and treatment are still quite limited. Computer-based deep learning methods can achieve high-accuracy fast cancer screening. Such methods can lead to early diagnosis, effective treatment, and hopefully successful prevention of cervical cancer. In this work, we seek to construct a robust deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model that can assist pathologists in screening cervical cancer. Methods ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT) images diagnosed by pathologists from many collaborating hospitals in different regions were collected. The images were divided into a training dataset (13,775 images), validation dataset (2301 images), and test dataset (408,030 images from 290 scanned copies) for training and effect evaluation of a faster region convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN) system. Results The sensitivity and specificity of the proposed cervical cancer screening system was 99.4 and 34.8%, respectively, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.67. The model could also distinguish between negative and positive cells. The sensitivity values of the atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), the low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), and the high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) were 89.3, 71.5, and 73.9%, respectively. This system could quickly classify the images and generate a test report in about 3 minutes. Hence, the system can reduce the burden on the pathologists and saves them valuable time to analyze more complex cases. Conclusions In our study, a CNN-based TCT cervical-cancer screening model was established through a retrospective study of multicenter TCT images. This model shows improved speed and accuracy for cervical cancer screening, and helps overcome the shortage of medical resources required for cervical cancer screening.

According to the requirements of weak current measurement in power grid, a weak current sensor with anti-low frequency interference ability is developed. The sensor adopts the principle of fluxgate detection and adds a magnetic ring on the original basis. The structure of the magnetic ring is simulated using comsol to further improve detection sensitivity. In order to solve the problem that the electromagnetic current sensor is vulnerable to the interference of geomagnetic field and power frequency magnetic field in weak current measurement, a magnetic shielding method with low cost is selected, and the shielding shell structure is designed using a finite element analysis method. The experimental results show that the minimum measurable current is 1 mA, the measurement range is 1 mA–1 A, and the bandwidth is DC-16 kHz. The designed magnetic shielding shell can effectively reduce 97.3% of the DC magnetic field interference and 95.7% of the power frequency magnetic field interference. The sensor can realize accurate measurement of weak current in power grid.

With the accelerated construction of the smart grid, new energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind power are connected to the grid. In addition to power frequency, the current signal of power grid also includes several DC signals, as well as medium-high and high-frequency transient signals. Traditional current sensors for power grids are bulky, have a narrow measurement range, and cannot measure both AC and DC at the same time. Therefore, this paper designs a non-intrusive, AC-DC wide-bandwidth current sensor based on the composite measurement principle. The proposed composite current detection scheme combines two different isolation detection technologies, namely tunneling reluctance and the Rogowski coil. These two current sensing techniques are complementary (tunneling magnetoresistive sensors have good low-frequency characteristics and Rogowski coils have good high-frequency characteristics, allowing for a wide detection bandwidth). Through theoretical and simulation analysis, the feasibility of the composite measurement scheme was verified. The prototype of composite current sensor was developed. The DC and AC transmission characteristics of the sensor prototype were measured, and the sensitivity and linearity were 11.96 mV/A, 1.14%, respectively. Finally, the sweep current method and pulse current method experiments prove that the designed composite current sensor can realize the current measurement from DC to 17 MHz.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a devastating malignancy worldwide due to lack of effective therapy. The immune-rich contexture of HCC tumor microenvironment (TME) makes this tumor an appealing target for immune-based therapies; however, the immunosuppressive TME is still a major challenge for more efficient immunotherapy in HCC. Using bioinformatics analysis based on the TCGA database, here we found that MAPK10 is frequently down-regulated in HCC tumors and significantly correlates with poor survival of HCC patients. HCC patients with low MAPK10 expression have lower expression scores of tumor infiltration lymphocytes (TILs) and stromal cells in the TME and increased scores of tumor cells than those with high MAPK10 expression. Further transcriptomic analyses revealed that the immune activity in the TME of HCC was markedly reduced in the low-MAPK10 group of HCC patients compared to the high-MAPK10 group. Additionally, we identified 495 differentially expressed immune-associated genes (DIGs), with 482 genes down-regulated and 13 genes up-regulated in parallel with the decrease of MAPK10 expression. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that the biological functions of these DIGs included cell chemotaxis, leukocyte migration and positive regulation of the response to cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, T cell receptor activation and MAPK signaling pathway. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) analyses of the 495 DIGs revealed five potential downstream hub genes of MAPK10, including SYK, CBL, VAV1, LCK, and CD3G. Several hub genes such as SYK, LCK, and VAV1 could respond to the immunological costimulatory signaling mediated by the transmembrane protein ICAM1, which was identified as a down-regulated DIG associated with low-MAPK10 expression. Moreover, ectopic overexpression or knock-down of MAPK10 could up-regulate or down-regulate ICAM1 expression via phosphorylation of c-jun at Ser63 in HCC cell lines, respectively. Collectively, our results demonstrated that MAPK10 down-regulation likely contributes to the immunosuppressive TME of HCC, and this gene might serve as a potential immunotherapeutic target and a prognostic factor for HCC patients.

Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has offered a minimally invasive approach for the detection and measurement of cancer. However, its diagnostic and prognostic value in hematological malignancies remains unclear.Materials and methods: Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for relating literature. Diagnostic accuracy variables and disease progression prediction data were pooled by the Meta-Disc version 1.4 software. Review Manager version 5.4 software was applied for prognostic data analysis.Results: A total of 11 studies met our inclusion criteria. In terms of diagnosis, the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.51 (95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.38–0.64) and 0.96 (95% CI 0.88–1.00), respectively. The AUSROC (area under the SROC) curve was 0.89 (95%CI 0.75–1.03). When it comes to the prediction of disease progression, the overall sensitivity and specificity was 0.83 (95% CI 0.67–0.94) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.93–1.00), respectively. Moreover, a significant association also existed between the presence of ctDNA and worse progression-free survival (HR 2.63, 95% CI 1.27–5.43, p = 0.009), as well as overall survival (HR 2.92, 95% CI 1.53–5.57, p = 0.001).Conclusions: The use of ctDNA in clinical practice for hematological malignancies is promising, as it may not only contribute to diagnosis, but could also predict the prognosis of patients so as to guide treatment. In the future, more studies are needed to realize the standardization of sequencing techniques and improve the detection sensitivity of exploration methods.

ObjectiveTo explore the short-term efficacy and tolerability of paroxetine in the treatment of panic disorder in adults.MethodsMultiple electronic databases were searched to find randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on paroxetine and panic disorder. The primary efficacy outcomes were: the mean change compared to the baseline in the total number of full panic attacks, Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) score, and the proportion of participants with zero full panic attacks and with a 50% or greater reduction in the number of full panic attacks. The tolerability outcomes included withdrawal rate and the incidence of adverse events (AEs).Results13RCTs were included. The pooled analyses showed patients who received paroxetine experienced greater improvements in the number of full panic attacks (total: MD=-1.96, 95%CI -3.45 to -0.47, P=0.010; ≥50% reduction: OR=1.66, 95%CI 1.08 to 2.55, P=0.02; zero full panic attacks: OR=1.70, 95%CI 1.42 to 2.03, P < 0.00001) and CGI-S (MD=-0.37, 95%CI -0.74 to -0.01, P=0.05) than placebo. There was no evident difference in the total withdrawal rate (OR=0.91, 95%CI 0.76 to 1.08, P=0.26) and withdrawal rate due to AEs (OR=1.29, 95%CI 0.97 to 1.72, P=0.07) between the two groups. Withdrawal rate due to lack of efficacy or relapse (OR=0.44, 95%CI 0.31 to 0.63, P < 0.00001) and the incidence of serious AEs (OR=0.42, 95%CI 0.23 to 0.79, P=0.007) in the paroxetine group was lower than the placebo group. Meanwhile, the incidence of any treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (OR=1.32, 95%CI 1.05 to 1.64, P=0.02) in the paroxetine group was higher in comparison with the placebo.ConclusionsParoxetine is an effective and well-tolerated short-term treatment for adults with panic disorder.

The tracking and positioning of transmission lines is a key element for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to achieve autonomous inspection of transmission lines. Current methods are vulnerable to weather and environmental factors, have high costs, and have difficulties in data processing. Therefore, this paper proposes a transmission line tracking and localization method based on the electric field sensor array, which calculates the current UAV’s heading angle deflection angle, the distance between the transmission line and the UAV, and the elevation angle, providing a new idea to solve the problem of UAV inspection of transmission lines. At the same time, the electric field distribution of different arrangements of three-phase transmission lines was analyzed using COMSOL to determine the flight area of the UAV. By comparing the electric field distribution of the UAV flight area and single-phase transmission lines, it was verified that the current method is also applicable in the three-phase transmission line scenario, and it was further verified that the sensor array used can sense the change of the UAV position in the flight area, indicating that the electric field sensor array can realize the transmission line tracking and localization of transmission lines. The experimental results showed that, in the three-phase transmission line scenario, when the sensor array moves along the transmission straight wire, the maximum absolute error of the heading angle deflection angle calculated according to this method was 8.2°, the maximum absolute error of the distance between the array and the transmission line was 19.3 cm, and the maximum absolute error of the elevation angle was 11.37°; the error was within a reasonable range and can be used for the UAV to realize autonomous inspection.

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are ubiquitous ATP-independent chaperones that play essential roles in response to cellular stresses and protein homeostasis. Investigations of sHSPs reveal that sHSPs are ubiquitously expressed in numerous types of tumors, and their expression is closely associated with cancer progression. sHSPs have been suggested to control a diverse range of cancer functions, including tumorigenesis, cell growth, apoptosis, metastasis, and chemoresistance, as well as regulation of cancer stem cell properties. Recent advances in the field indicate that some sHSPs have been validated as a powerful target in cancer therapy. In this review, we present and highlight current understanding, recent progress, and future challenges of sHSPs in cancer development and therapy.

Inshore ship detection plays an important role in many civilian and military applications. The complex land environment and the diversity of target sizes and distributions make it still challenging for us to obtain accurate detection results. In order to achieve precise localization and suppress false alarms, in this paper, we propose a framework which integrates a multi-scale feature fusion network, rotation region proposal network and contextual pooling together. Specifically, in order to describe ships of various sizes, different convolutional layers are fused to obtain multi-scale features based on the baseline feature extraction network. Then, for the purpose of accurate target localization and arbitrary-oriented ship detection, a rotation region proposal network and skew non-maximum suppression are employed. Finally, on account of the disadvantages that the employment of a rotation bounding box usually causes more false alarms, we implement inclined context feature pooling on rotation region proposals. A dataset including port images collected from Google Earth and a public ship dataset HRSC2016 are employed in our experiments to test the proposed method. Experimental results of model analysis validate the contribution of each module mentioned above, and contrast results show that our proposed pipeline is able to achieve state-of-the-art performance of arbitrary-oriented inshore ship detection.

Disconnect switch and circuit breakers operations in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) systems may produce very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO). Detecting VFTO is the first step for researchers to reduce the damage to other equipment of the substation caused by VFTO. Most of the existing sensors used for VFTO are generally bulky, complex to install, and require modification of the GIS structure. In this paper, a miniaturized measurement system that uses capacitive voltage divider and differentiating−integrating circuit is proposed. A special sensor structure and optimized differentiating−integrating circuit components arrangement were designed to increase the bandwidth of the measurement system. The frequency-domain, time-domain and voltage divide calibration experiment was performed, and a comparison experiment with an internal VFTO sensor was conducted. The measurement system was applied in the 500 kV GIS substation, and the VFTO measurement under specific conditions was carried out. The measured time domain and frequency domain waveforms conformed to the definition of standard VFTO according to IEC 60,071. It was found that the proposed measurement system meets VFTO measurement requirements and can be applied to actual VFTO measurements.

Voltage source converter-based (VSC-based) DC systems play an important role in connecting large-scale renewable energy and distributed energy, but they are vulnerable to DC short-circuit fault and lacks mature protection devices and appropriate protection strategies. Therefore, a hybrid type DC superconducting fault current limiter (H-SFCL) is proposed and the current limiting mechanism of the SFCL is analyzed. According to the requirements and strategies for protection, several different effective parameter matching and optimization methods of the H-SFCL are proposed by combining optimization algorithms and two short-circuit transient calculation models of VSC-based DC systems. The optimization methods proposed in this paper are compared and analyzed in terms of convergence, running time, calculation range and stability of optimization results, revealing their respective calculation characteristics. Finally, the effectiveness of parameter matching and optimization methods are well validated by comparison and analysis of simulation. The proposed methods can select a good parameter matching scheme of the H-SFCL to deal with different requirements.

In this paper, through AC and DC overcurrent tests on second generation high temperature superconducting tape (2G HTS tape), we respectively summarize the typical types of quenching resistance and corresponding quenching degree, in which there are three types under AC overcurrent and two types under DC overcurrent. According to experimental results, a rule was found that, when 2G HTS tape quenches to normal state, the relationship between quenching resistance and joule heat generated from 2G HTS tape presents a fixed trend line, and the influence of liquid nitrogen can be ignored. Then, the characteristics and rules of quenching resistance found in experiments are well explained and confirmed by a detailed 3D finite element model of 2G HTS tape including electromagnetic field and thermal field. Finally, based on above works, our group proposes a new equivalent method to estimate the quenching resistance, where the results of AC and DC overcurrent experiments can be equivalent to each other within a certain range. Compared with FEM, the method has the following advantages: (i) The method is simple and easy to implement. (ii) This method combines precision and computational efficiency. (iii) With superconducting tape quenching to normal state, this method presents a good consistency with experimental results.

The accuracy of reconstructed images of Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is a bottleneck concerning the successful application of ECT. An image data fusion algorithm based on wavelet transform was proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy of reconstructed images. First, reconstructed images were obtained using conjugate gradient least square algorithm and Landweber iterative algorithm, respectively. Secondly, reconstructed images were decomposed by wavelet. After that, the approximate component was processed according to the weighted average fusion rule. The detail component was processed according to the maximum fusion rule of absolute value. Finally, the new reconstructed images were obtained by wavelet reconstruction. Simulation and static experimental results showed that the reconstructed images with higher accuracy can be obtained after fusion and the artefacts were decreased obviously.

With the development of two-dimensional materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), MXenes and MBenes, these materials have received extensive attention from scholars in the field of gas sensing due to their unique and superior properties. Based on first-principles calculations, the adsorption energy, charge transfer, density of states and deformation charge density of CrB, an MBene successfully synthesized under laboratory conditions, were investigated for the adsorption of the decomposition components (CF4, C3F6 and COF2) of an insulating medium, C4F7N. The calculation results revealed strong chemisorption with an adsorption energy as high as −3.336 eV between CrB and COF2, as well as physical adsorption with CF4 and C3F6. However, the excessive interaction strength makes it difficult for COF2 molecules to escape from the binding of the CrB substrate, making CrB more suitable as an adsorbent to remove COF2 gas. Compared with COF2 and CF4, CrB has appropriate adsorption energy and charge transfer for C3F6 adsorption, and its theoretical recovery performance is acceptable, indicating its potential as a sensor for detecting C3F6.

Voltage measurement is an important part of power system operation, and non-intrusive voltage sensors have the advantages of low insulation difficulty, simple structure, easy loading and unloading, and high construction safety, which have become a new direction for voltage measurement. Based on the principle of electric field coupling, this paper constructs a non-intrusive floating ground three-capacitance voltage measurement model, which can complete the accurate measurement of voltage without connecting with the line to be measured and the earth in the measurement process. In non-intrusive voltage measurement, the change of the object to be measured or the measurement environment will cause the change of the coupling capacitance, which leads to the uncertainty of the transmission relationship of the sensor and the large error of measurement results. In order to solve this problem, a new method of sensor calibration is proposed in this paper. By sampling capacitance in parallel between two electrodes of the sensor, changing the capacitance value, and establishing an input output equation, the coupling capacitance value and the voltage value to be measured under different operating conditions are solved. In addition, the sampling capacitance is often several orders of magnitude larger than the sensor’s own capacitance, making the sensor’s voltage division ratio significantly higher and more conducive to the measurement of high voltages. The experimental results show that the measurement error is less than 2%, which verifies the feasibility of the method and the accuracy of the voltage measurement.

Medium voltage direct current (MVDC) shipboard power system (SPS) is the development trend of future ships. With the characteristics of compact structure and high-power density, the short circuit is much more serious than land-based power system, which seriously restricts the development of MVDC SPS. Therefore, there is an urgent need for prospective research on fault-protection. According to the fault characteristics of MVDC SPS, a DC superconducting current-limiting switch (SCLS) is proposed, so as to realize the current limiting protection of MVDC SPS. In this paper, a small-scale SCLS superconducting coil is wound, and a current limiting experiment of the prototype is completed. The results show that SCLS has a fast current-limiting response speed and a good current-limiting effect. The experiment summarizes the characteristics of the two current limiting modes of SCLS and it is concluded that R-type current limiting mode is more suitable for MVDC SPS.

Objective Thoracolumbar compression fractures resulting from high‐energy injuries are a common type of spinal fracture. Satisfying reduction of compressive vertebra body is essential for the clinical outcome. However, traditional distraction technique may lead to complications including pedicle screw loosening, pedicle screw breakage, and postoperative back pain because of excessive distraction. In this study, we reported a novel technique for reduction. Additionally, the effect and postoperative radiological parameters of this technique were compared with those of traditional distraction technique. Methods The clinical data of 80 patients who had been treated with posterior pedicle screw fixation from January 2019 to December 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. Thirty‐six patients were performed with the leverage technique, while 22 patients were treated with the traditional distraction technique. When pedicle screw fixation was performed with either the leverage technique or the traditional distraction technique, fracture reduction was completed with monoaxial pedicle screws using either the leverage maneuver or distraction of adjacent vertebrae. Clinical evaluation, including operation time, hospital stay, blood loss volume, and postoperative complications were collected. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score for neurological condition and the visual analog scale (VAS) score for pain were used to evaluate the patients' functional outcome. The radiographic analysis included local kyphotic angle (LKA), regional kyphotic angle (RKA), anterior vertebral height (AVH), posterior vertebral height (PVH), and sagittal compression (SC). The student t‐test and the χ2‐test (or the Fisher exact test) were used to compare the outcome measures between the two groups. Results The leverage group comprised 36 patients, while 44 patients were included in the distraction group. No statistically significant differences were found in the demographic data. The VAS score in the leverage group (3.0 ± 0.8) was significantly lower than that in the distraction group (4.2 ± 0.6) on postoperative day 1. Total correction of the LKA in the leverage group (11.5 ± 2.5°) was significantly higher than that in the distraction group (7.1 ± 1.3°) (p = 0.0004). Total correction of the RKA was higher in the leverage group (12.1 ± 4.3°) than in the distraction group (6.1 ± 0.9°) (p = 0.005). The ratio of rear pillar /front pillar correction was 0.35 ± 0.13 and 0.89 ± 0.18 in the leverage and distraction groups, respectively (p = 0.014). Total correction of the upper and lower foraminal height in the leverage group was significantly less than that in the distraction group. The leverage group had significantly higher correction of the upper and lower intervertebral space height than the distraction group. Conclusions Our novel leverage technique provided better kyphotic reduction and restoration than compared to conventional distraction technique in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar compression fractures.

The medium voltage direct current (MVDC) is a promising direction of future shipboard power system (SPS). However, one of the main limitations encountered in its development is the fault isolation of DC side. This paper reveals the evolution process of short-circuit fault in typical MVDC SPS through equivalent circuit and transient simulation. Based on the analysis of protection needs, a superconducting current-limiting switch (SCLS) topology is proposed, which includes one superconducting coupled coil and two DC circuit breakers (DCCBs). The models of SCLS is built on MATLAB/Simulink and the current limiting principle and current sharing principle of SCLS are verified. The results show that the SCLS has effective current limiting performance and fault clearing effect.

DC fault protection is the bottleneck that restricts the development of modular multilevel converter based high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) system. Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) is an ideal protection device that can significantly limit short circuit current and enhance the fault tolerance ability of MMC-HVDC system. At present, several topologies of SFCLs have been proposed, but there is no systematical study of their current-limiting characteristics in MMC-HVDC. This paper studies the development process of DC short-circuit faults in MMC-HVDC system, and analyzes its demand for fault current limiting. Then, resistive type, saturated iron core type and hybrid type SFCL are modeled and their limiting effect of critical fault current under DC pole-to-pole fault is tested. By comparison, the current-limiting characteristics of three types of SFCL are concluded. Results show that resistive SFCL has best performance in steady state, while saturated iron core SFCL has best performance in transient state. The current-limiting characteristic of hybrid type SFCL is between the other two types.

As medium voltage dc-based (MVDC) technology is widely considered in the shipboard integrated power system (IPS), the short fault protection of shipboard IPS is urgent. This paper suggests resistive type superconducting fault current limiter (R-SFCL), flux-coupling type SFCL (FC-SFCL), and a hybrid type SFCL (H-SFCL) alleviate fault current and improve the transient behaviors of shipboard MVDC IPS. All of these SFCLs are installed at the DC line. When pole to pole short fault occurs, resistive and inductive components play roles in current limiting. To evaluate these SFCLs and choose one for the system, theoretical analysis, simulation verification and experiments are done. According to the current limiting and economic cost index, H-SFCL is preferable in these SFCLs.

The regeneration of transformer oil is a trending topic in the dielectric research field. However, the normal way of regeneration requires high cost and complicate process. In this paper, the non-woven polypropylene (PP) electret films were modified by fluorination and corona method to achieve the regeneration function for transformer oil. The results show that the C-H bonds in polypropylene were replaced by C-F bonds during the fluorination process, resulting in the mean diameter of the fibers being decreased to a value of 1.7 μm. The increased roughness of the fibers leads to super hydrophobicity. Further research revealed that the insulation properties of aging oil recovered after filtration by corona charged fluorinated fiber membranes. The result is especially significant for breakdown voltage, the values of which reached half of the original insulating oil. In conclusion, the combination of fluorinating and corona charging method on PP fiber membrane shows great potential for insulation oil regeneration.

Multiple investigations have shown that diabetes mellitus is a predictor of post-stroke depression (PSD). However, whether elevated levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are associated with an increased risk of PSD remains controversial.We comprehensively searched databases for eligible studies. Standard mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were used to examine the relationship between peripheral blood glucose levels during the acute phase of stroke and the risk of PSD. Narrative syntheses and meta-analyses were conducted when appropriate unadjusted or adjusted ORs were available.A total of 21 prospective cohort studies were included in the analysis. PSD patients had significantly higher peripheral blood glucose levels than non-PSD patients (FPG: SMD, 0.28, 95% CI, 0.11-0.45, p<0.01, HbA1c: SMD, 0.49, 95%CI, 0.20-0.78, p<0.01, respectively). In the subgroup analyses by classifying the time point of depression assessment, HbA1c was more statistically significant associated with the risk of PSD than FPG. Differences in the prevalence of diabetes were not heterogeneity sources.Higher levels of peripheral blood glucose in the acute phase of stroke increase the risk of PSD. HbA1c might be a better biomarker for the risk of PSD than FPG.

- Abstract
Gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) contribute substantially to the refractory features of gastric cancer (GC) and are responsible for metastasis, relapse and drug resistance. However, strategies aimed at eliminating GCSCs to improve the clinical outcome of GC patients remain a challenge. Here, we report that tipranavir, a clinically used anti-HIV drug, effectively killed both GCSC and GC cell lines, and inhibited tumor growth in GCSC-derived xenograft models without apparent toxicity. Mechanistic analyses demonstrated that tipranavir induced GCSC cell apoptosis by targeting the novel serine protease PRSS23, releasing MKK3 from the PRSS23/MKK3 complex to activate p38 MAPK, and thereby activating the interleukin (IL) 24-mediated Bax/Bak mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Tipranavir also killed other types of cancer cell lines and drug-resistant cell lines. Our findings indicate that by targeting both GCSC and GC cells, tipranavir is a promising anti-cancer drug, and the clinical development of tipranavir or other drugs specifically targeting the PRSS23/MKK3/p38MAPK–IL24 mitochondrial apoptotic pathway may offer an effective approach to combat gastric and other cancers.

ObjectiveSolid tumours respond poorly to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies. One major therapeutic obstacle is the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a key component of the TME and negatively regulate antitumour T-cell response. Here, we aimed to uncover the mechanism underlying CAFs-mediated tumour immune evasion and to develop novel therapeutic strategies targeting CAFs for enhancing ICI efficacy in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and colorectal cancer (CRC).DesignAnti-WNT2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was used to treat immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice bearing subcutaneously grafted mEC25 or CMT93 alone or combined with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), and the antitumour efficiency and immune response were assessed. CAFs-induced suppression of dendritic cell (DC)-differentiation and DC-mediated antitumour immunity were analysed by interfering with CAFs-derived WNT2, either by anti-WNT2 mAb or with short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown. The molecular mechanism underlying CAFs-induced DC suppression was further explored by RNA-sequencing and western blot analyses.ResultsA negative correlation between WNT2+ CAFs and active CD8+ T cells was detected in primary OSCC tumours. Anti-WNT2 mAb significantly restored antitumour T-cell responses within tumours and enhanced the efficacy of anti-PD-1 by increasing active DC in both mouse OSCC and CRC syngeneic tumour models. Directly interfering with CAFs-derived WNT2 restored DC differentiation and DC-mediated antitumour T-cell responses. Mechanistic analyses further demonstrated that CAFs-secreted WNT2 suppresses the DC-mediated antitumour T-cell response via the SOCS3/p-JAK2/p-STAT3 signalling cascades.ConclusionsCAFs could suppress antitumour immunity through WNT2 secretion. Targeting WNT2 might enhance the ICI efficacy and represent a new anticancer immunotherapy.

To ensure the stable operation of the distribution network, it is necessary to timely predict and diagnose its faults. In this paper, distribution network faults were briefly analyzed. To address the problem of redundant and incomplete fault data, they were reduced by the rough set (RS), and then the reduced data were predicted based on the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model. To further improve the prediction performance, an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm was designed to optimize the parameters of the BPNN model and establish the IPSO-BPNN model. Through example analysis, it was found that RS reduction retained the discriminative ability of the data and improved the prediction accuracy. The accuracy of the IPSO-BPNN algorithm was 79.36% when using non-reduced data; the accuracy of the BPNN algorithm and the IPSO-BPNN algorithm was 87.64% and 95.77%, respectively, when using the reduced data. The experimental results demonstrate the reliability of the IPSO-BPNN algorithm for fault data prediction and its applicability in the actual distribution network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neural stem cells (NSCs) exhibit a remarkable capacity for self-renewal and have the potential to differentiate into various neural lineage cells, which makes them pivotal in the management of neurological disorders. Harnessing the inherent potential of endogenous NSCs for enhancing nerve repair and regeneration represents an optimal approach to addressing diseases of the nervous system. In this study, we explored the potential of a novel benzophenone derivative named Digirseophene A (DGA), which was isolated from the endophytic fungus Corydalis tomentella. Previous experiments have extensively identified and characterized DGA, revealing its unique properties. Our findings demonstrate the remarkable capability of DGA to stimulate neural stem cell proliferation, both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we established a model of radiation-induced cerebellar injury to assess the effects of DGA on the distribution of different cell subpopulations within the damaged cerebellum, thereby suggesting its beneficial role in cerebellar repair. In addition, our observations on a primary NSCs model revealed that DGA significantly increased cellular oxygen consumption, indicating increased energy and metabolic demands. By utilizing various pathway inhibitors in combination with DGA, we successfully demonstrated its ability to counteract the suppressive impacts of AMPK and GSK3β inhibitors on NSC proliferation. Collectively, our research results strongly suggest that DGA, as an innovative compound, exerts its role in activating NSCs and promoting injury repair through the regulation of the AMPK/AKT/GSK3β pathway.

The resistive superconducting fault current limiter (R-SFCL) is considered as a promising protection device to restrict the DC fault current in modular multilevel converter based high voltage direct current (MMC-HVDC) system. One bottleneck of R-SFCL is that it needs to withstand an overcurrent impact during fault, which results in temperature rise and may damage superconducting coils. A shunt resistor connected in parallel with R-SFCL can reduce temperature and protect superconducting coils. However, there are few studies to quantitatively analyze the influence of shunt resistor. This paper applies a novel R-Q method to calculate the quenching resistance of R-SFCL. By combining the R-Q method and finite element method, the system simulation and electromagnetic field analysis are separated, and the calculation feasibility is greatly improved. Then, the effect of shunt resistor in reducing the temperature of R-SFCL is studied. The influence of shunt resistance to the economic and current-limiting performance of R-SFCL is discussed.

With the rapid development of the integrated power system (IPS) on shipboard, the medium voltage DC (MVDC) power distribution system has received widely attention. At present, one of the bottlenecks restricting the development of MVDC IPS for ships is the occurrence of short circuit faults. Short circuit faults not only cause extensive damage to the line hardware, but also cause a lot of losses. Therefore, how to protect system from high-amplitude short circuit fault current has become a hot research topic. In order to ensure that the MVDC IPS of the ship can still operate safely in the event of typical faults, a flux-coupling-type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is applied to shipboard MVDC IPS under two typical short circuit faults. In this paper, a flux-coupling-type SFCL is conceptual and electromagnetic designed, with working principle analyzed and mathematical model established. Two typical types of short-circuit fault are selected in the shipboard MVDC IPS, and the flux-coupling-type SFCL is installed at different positions on two fault short platforms to evaluate its performance. The results show that the flux-coupling-type SFCL has effective current limiting performance on protection of shipboard MVDC IPS.

GIS (gas-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear) is one of the important components in modern electrical power systems. Compared with traditional open switching devices, GIS has many advantages such as compact structure, smaller occupied area, little influence from environment as well as safe and reliable operation [1–3]. Statistical data show that equipment failure rate of GIS is only 20%–40% of traditional open switching devices. However, as GIS is designed as a fully enclosed structure, once something goes wrong, the diagnosis process is much more complex and the time necessary for fault repair becomes much longer [4–5]. For instance, a severe short circuit fault occurred in Jiangsu Power Grid, China in 2014 due to the development of cracks on a disc insulator. In the same year, abnormal discharges occurred in GIS substations because of a disconnector fault that led to large economic loss and undesired social impacts. Much work had, therefore, been done on analyzing transient events in gas insulated installations in China and internationally [6–9].

Apple is widely planted all over the world. Origin variability influences the internal quality of apples because soil characteristics, light effects, nutrition, weather conditions, as well as growing management vary from orchard to orchard. However, if taking spectral variations caused by the origin variability of apple samples from different orchards into account, the fruit quality parameters could not be measured or predicted with high accuracy by using the current models without updates. To improve the practicability and accuracy of the prediction models, a multi-origin regression model for the determination of soluble solids content in apples from three origins by using FT-NIR spectroscopy and a model search strategy was developed in this paper. In this model, based on the wavelengths selected by competitive adaptive reweighted sampling algorithm (CARS), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was trained and applied to identify the geographical origins of the apple samples. The results indicate that the samples spectra were correctly matched to the corresponding classes and a 98.1% correct classification was achieved. Partial least squares regression (PLS) was used to establish three single-origin calibration models for the determination of soluble solids content (SSC) in apples from three different origins, and meanwhile, CARS algorithm was also applied to select the most effective wavelengths for calibration models. Then, the multi-origin CARS-PLS model for determination of SSC in apples from three origins was developed combined with origin discriminant and the proposed model search strategy. It was concluded that the multi-origin CARS-PLS model achieved more satisfying results than the single-origin CARS-PLS models for the determination of SSC, with R p and RMSEP values for the apple samples from three geographical origins being 0.921, 0.759, 0.924 and 0.661, 0.673, 0.547 Â ° Brix, respectively. The above results indicate that it is promising to build a multi-origin CARS-PLS model to predict SSC for apples based on an origin discriminant approach to reduce the effect of geographical origin.
