Contrastive Learning-Based Personalized Tag Recommendation.

Personalized tag recommendation algorithms generate personalized tag lists for users by learning the tagging preferences of users. Traditional personalized tag recommendation systems are limited by the problem of data sparsity, making the personalized tag recommendation models unable to accurately learn the embeddings of users, items, and tags. To address this issue, we propose a contrastive learning-based personalized tag recommendation algorithm, namely CLPTR.

Engineering magnetic nanosystem for TRPV1 and TRPV4 channel activation.

Recently, physical tools for remotely stimulating mechanical force-sensitive and temperature-sensitive proteins to regulate intracellular pathways have opened up novel and exciting avenues for basic research and clinical applications. Among the numerous modes of physical stimulation, magnetic stimulation is significantly attractive for biological applications due to the advantages of depth penetration and spatial-temporally controlled transduction. Herein, the physicochemical parameters (e.

Highly-Efficient Gallium-Interference Tumor Therapy Mediated by Gallium-Enriched Prussian Blue Nanomedicine.

Prussian blue (PB)-based nanomedicines constructed from metal ion coordination remain restricted due to their limited therapeutic properties, and their manifold evaluation complexity still needs to be unraveled. Owing to the high similarities of its ionic form to iron (Fe) and the resulting cellular homeostasis disruption performance, physiologically unstable and low-toxicity gallium (Ga) has garnered considerable attention clinically as an anti-carcinogen. Herein, Ga-based nanoparticles (NPs) with diverse Ga contents are fabricated in one step using PB with abundant Fe sites as a substrate for Ga substitution, which aims to overcome the deficiencies of both and develop an effective nanomedicine.

Polyester conversion by homogeneous catalysis for separating and recycling ammonia from biogas.

Biogas is being promoted as a renewable and clean energy source. However, NH is a precursor of NO and PM within the biogas, threatening ecological and human health. Therein, recycling waste NH from the biogas as a raw material of nitrogen fertilizer was tested by optimizing polyester as a sorbent material.

TMM: A comprehensive CAD system for hepatic fibrosis 5-grade METAVIR staging based on liver MRI.

Background: Precise staging of hepatic fibrosis with MRI is necessary as it can assist precision medicine. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system with distinguishing radiomics features and radiologists domain knowledge is expected to obtain 5-grade meta-analysis of histological data in viral hepatitis (METAVIR) staging.

Purpose: This study aims to obtain the precise staging of hepatic fibrosis based on MRI as it predicts the risk of future liver-related morbidity and the need for treatment, monitoring and surveillance.

SET Domain Group 703 Regulates Planthopper Resistance by Suppressing the Expression of Defense-Related Genes.

Plant defense responses against insect pests are intricately regulated by highly complex regulatory networks. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones modulate the expression of genes involved in various biological processes. However, the role of PTMs in conferring insect resistance remains unclear.

Navigating zinc-involved nanomedicine in oncotherapy.

Zinc (Zn), extolled as "the flower of life" in modern medicine, has been extensively highlighted with its physiological functions to maintain growth, development, and metabolism homeostasis. Driven by the substantial advancement of nanotechnology and oncology, Zn-involved nanomedicines integrating the intrinsic bioactivity of Zn species and the physiochemical attributes of Zn-composed nanosystems have blazed a highly efficient and relatively biosafe antineoplastic path. In this review, we aim to highlight and discuss the recent representative modalities of emerging Zn-involved oncology nanomedicine, mainly emphasizing the rational design, biological effect and biosafety, and therapeutic strategies.

Magnetomechanical force: an emerging paradigm for therapeutic applications.

Mechanical forces, which play a profound role in cell fate regulation, have prompted the rapid development and popularization of mechanobiology. More recently, magnetic fields in combination with intelligent materials featuring magnetic responsiveness have been identified as a spatially and time-controlled transducing paradigm to generate magnetomechanical forces and induce a therapeutic effect. Herein, recent magnetic materials and magnetic regulation systems are summarized, which offer opportunities for magnetomechanical force manipulation in a precise manner.

A modified alternative fistula risk score (a-FRS) obtained from the computed tomography enhancement pattern of the pancreatic parenchyma predicts pancreatic fistula after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Background: Alternative fistula risk score (a-FRS) is useful to predict clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD).

Methods: Clinical data from 239 patients undergoing PD were collected. The CT value of the pancreatic parenchyma was measured in the nonenhanced (N), arterial (A), portal venous (P), and late (L) phases.

Modification of a new subclassification of Grade B postoperative pancreatic fistula: A bicenter retrospective cohort study.

Aim: To propose a modified subclassification of grade B postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) based on management approaches in Chinese patients.

Methods: Data of consecutive pancreatoduodenectomy at two hospitals in China from 2013 to 2018 were collected, and outcomes were compared across different groups of POPF. Subclassification of B-POPF was made based on intervention to B1: non-interventional subclass and B2: interventional subclass.

Excellent Adsorptive Behaviors of ZnO Nanoparticle-Deposited Activated Carbon Covered with Nano-Graphene Oxide.

In the paper, ZnO-deposited activated carbon composite (ZnO-AC) was firstly prepared in a simple two-step preparation process, and then covered with nano-graphene oxide to give the NGO-ZnOAC composite. The successful deposition of ZnO and NGO on the AC surface was demonstrated by various experiments, and the ZnO nanoparticles showed a mean diameter size mainly within about 10 nm. The specific surface area of the NGO-AC and NGO-ZnO-AC decreased from 67.

Effects of the different levels of dietary trace elements from organic or inorganic sources on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and faecal mineral excretion of broilers.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different sources and levels of trace elements on growth performance, carcass composition and mineral excretion levels of broilers. In a completely randomised experimental design, 900 one-day-old male Ross-308 broilers were assigned to 5 treatments, with 6 replicates of 30 birds each. The control group (CITE) was fed with a basal diet containing regular inclusion levels of inorganic trace elements.
