Automatic surgical phase recognition is a core technology for modern operating rooms and online surgical video assessment platforms. Current state-of-the-art methods use both spatial and temporal information to tackle the surgical phase recognition task. Building on this idea, we propose the Multi-Scale Action Segmentation Transformer (MS-AST) for offline surgical phase recognition and the Multi-Scale Action Segmentation Causal Transformer (MS-ASCT) for online surgical phase recognition.

Intratumoral brachytherapy enables higher dose treatment and reduces damage to adjacent tissues. We first validated the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided Yttrium-90 (Y) microspheres implantation in a porcine model. Under EUS guidance, Y-loaded microspheres were implanted into the pancreas of 10 miniature pigs.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the main types of chronic kidney disease, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Shen-Qi-Huo-Xue formula (SQHXF), based on the Shen-Qi-Di-Huang decoction, is a traditional Chinese medicine formula for DKD. This study explored the mechanism of action of SQHXF on DKD through analysis of drug components, in vivo and in vitro experiments.

Purpose: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are associated with the progression of tumors and hold promise as potential biomarkers for liquid biopsy. Among these, the role of circPRMT5 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains to be elucidated. This study aims to examine the role and underlying mechanisms of circPRMT5 in the progression of HNSCC and to assess its potential diagnostic value in saliva exosomes.

Infrared-visible fused photodetection presents significant potential for target perception in complex scenarios. However, dual-band imaging inherently generates a considerable amount of redundant data, highlighting a pressing need to perform compressive sensing directly at the pixel level. Here, we report a photodetector composed of a MoS/h-BN/PdSe vertically stacked heterostructure with a common metal electrode interconnecting the bottom PdSe channel with the top MoS channel.

Emerging evidence shows that lipid metabolic reprogramming plays a vital role in tumor metastasis. The effect and mechanism of fatty acids and lipid droplets (LDs), the core products of lipid metabolism, on the metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), need further exploration. In this study, the influence of palmitic acid (PA) and oleic acid (OA) on the migration and invasion ability of OSCC cells was determined by in vitro experiments.

Circadian rhythm disruption, commonly caused by factors such as jet lag and shift work, is increasingly recognized as a critical factor impairing wound healing. Although melatonin is known to regulate circadian rhythms and has potential in wound repair, its clinical application is limited by low bioavailability. To address these challenges, we developed an alginate-based dual-network hydrogel as a delivery system for melatonin, ensuring its stable and sustained release at the wound site.

Over the years, great efforts have been devoted in introducing a sizable and tunable band gap in graphene for its potential application in next-generation electronic devices. The primary challenge in modulating this gap has been the absence of a direct method for observing changes of the band gap in momentum space. In this study, advanced spatial- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy technique is employed to directly visualize the gap formation in bilayer graphene, modulated by both displacement fields and moiré potentials.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) represent a major contributor to tumor growth. Cellular senescence is a state of cell-cycle arrest characterized by a pro-inflammatory phenotype. The potential impact of CAF senescence on tumor progression and the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains to be elucidated.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) as one of the most common cardiovascular diseases has attracted great attention due to its high disability and mortality rate. Thus, a timely and effective recognition method for AF is of great importance for diagnosing and preventing it. Herein, we proposed a novel intelligent sensing and recognition system for AF which combined Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), flexible wearable electronic devices, and artificial intelligence.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how personalized dietary approaches using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can effectively manage post-prandial glucose response (PPGR) in older adults with prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes.
  • Data collected over two weeks indicated that measures like the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE) and fasting glucose levels were strong predictors of glucose response during meals and oral glucose tolerance tests.
  • The findings suggest CGM-based strategies could enhance personalized nutrition and medical interventions for better controlling glucose levels in this demographic.

Article Synopsis
  • PHGDH, an important enzyme in serine production, is found to promote the spread of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by interacting with METTL3, suggesting a new avenue for cancer treatment.
  • The study utilized various methods including Western blot and immunofluorescence to show that PHGDH levels increase under anoikis, enhancing HCC cell metastasis and preventing METTL3 degradation.
  • Results indicate that the connection between PHGDH and METTL3 upregulates genes related to cell migration, ultimately supporting HCC metastasis, warranting further investigation as a therapeutic target.

Correlated molecular motion during the process of residual stress release in polymer glassy films is studied at the single-molecule level. Using poly(-butyl methacrylate) (PnBMA) and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) as the model polymers, thin films fabricated by spin-casting without thermal annealing were chosen as samples for investigation. Single-molecule fluorescence defocused microscopy was used to track the rotational motion of the fluorescent probes doped inside the polymer films.

The broiler industry is crucial for rural economies, but it faces challenges in enhancing animal performance and well-being, particularly due to heat stress and ammonia (NH) in grow-out houses. This study investigates the effectiveness of air velocity (AV) treatment in reducing heat stress and NH emissions while also improving litter conditions to enhance animal welfare. Conducted at the North Carolina State University's poultry engineering laboratory, the research used six identical controlled chambers, exposing broilers to High and Low AV treatments from 28 to 61 days across four flocks during the summers of 2017 and 2018.

Article Synopsis
  • The voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) is made up of an α1 subunit and three auxiliary subunits, with the β subunit being crucial for moving the α1 subunit to the cell membrane and is extensively studied in calcium signaling.
  • VGCCs play a critical role in calcium ion movement within neurons, influencing processes like dendritic spine plasticity, with dysfunction in this signaling linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia.
  • Overexpressing the β4 subunit in a mouse model reduced the density of small dendritic spines, with notable sex differences in this effect, indicating that interactions with other VGCC subunits, like β1b in males, may help protect against this reduction.

Effective coalbed methane extraction from soft coal seams is essential for mine safety and energy supply. To enhance the extraction efficiency of coal mine methane (CMM) and reduce the risk of gas outbursts in coal mining areas, we developed an original and innovate horizontal well hydraulic cavitation method. A mathematical model that can quantitatively optimize construction parameters and improve the effectiveness of engineering applications was also constructed to calculate the technological parameters of this construction method.
