Multi-omics model is an effective means to diagnose benign and malignant pulmonary nodules.

In response to the high false positive rate of traditional Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) in diagnosing pulmonary malignant nodules, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of scoring of blood-based non-invasive biological metabolite detection combined with artificial intelligent scoring of non-invasive imaging in the clinical diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules (PNs). In this retrospective study, risk scoring was performed in patients positive for pulmonary nodules and subsequently, PNs were sampled by invasive procedures for pathological examinations. The pathological classification was used as the gold standard, and statistical and machine learning methods showed, that in 210 patients (23 benign PN and 187 malignant PN), the risk score of Metabonomics, radiomics, and multi-omics had different levels of performance in different risk groups based on various predictive models.

Therapeutic role of respiratory exercise in patients with tuberculous pleurisy.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of respiratory exercise in patients with tuberculous pleurisy (TBP).

Methods: A randomized controlled study was conducted including 146 patients diagnosed with TBP and undergoing pleural effusion drainage in Shandong Public Health Clinical Center from June 2020 to December 2022, and the patients were randomly divided into the control group and the respiratory exercise observation group. Pleural effusion drainage time, the difference of pulmonary function, and the degree of pleural hypertrophy between the two groups at 1 and 3 months after treatment were studied.

The association of mental health with physical activity and its dimensions in Chinese adults: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Selecting the most efficient type of physical activity that improves mental health can assist in choosing appropriate interventions. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the associations between physical activity and its various aspects, including weekly physical activity, weekly walking and exercise sessions, and the frequency of walking and exercise per week, with the mental health of Chinese adults.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Hangzhou (2023) involving 512 adults aged 18 and 64.

Effects of Sensitized Sorafenib with a Paeoniflorin and Geniposide Mixture on Liver Cancer via the NF-B-HIF-2-SerpinB3 Pathway.

Purpose: This study focused on determining the anticancer effect of paeoniflorin and geniposide mixture (PFGS) combined with sorafenib (Sor) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and, in particular, whether PFGS increases the antitumor effect of Sor by modulating the NF-B/HIF-2/SerpinB3 pathway.

Methods: The H22 hepatoma tumor-bearing mouse model was treated with PFGS, Sor, and a combination of the two drugs for 12 days. The effects of PFGS combined with Sor on tumor growth and apoptosis and the expression of NF-B, HIF-2, and SerpinB3 in tumor tissue were assessed.

Outcomes of surgery for different types of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis: results from a single-center, retrospective cohort study.

Background: The reported experience of surgical treatment for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) mainly focused on simple aspergilloma (SA), few about other types of CPA. The present study aims to evaluate the outcomes of surgical treatment for different types of CPA.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 85 patients with CPA who underwent surgery from 2014 to 2020 at Shandong Provincial Chest Hospital.

Comparison of anaerobic phosphorus release from activated sludge with three carbon sources.

Three carbon sources, namely sodium acetate, sewage and effluent, were used to simulate the process of phosphorus release in an actual sewage treatment plant, in order to explore the phosphorus release performance of the sludge, the relationship between phosphorus release and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in sewage, and the stability of phosphorus-rich sludge. The results showed that the type and concentration of carbon sources had significant effects on the rate of phosphorus release, reaction equilibrium time and phosphorus release amount. When sodium acetate was used as the carbon source, the phosphorus release rate reached 12.

An Electrochemical Sandwich Immunosensor Based on Signal Amplification Technique for the Determination of Alpha-Fetoprotein.

The synthesis of Au nanocubes is used to label alpha-fetoprotein antibody (anti-AFP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to form an immune complex for antibody detection. Graphene oxide-methylene blue-gold nanoparticles (GO-MB-AuNPs) nanocomposites were used as the immunosensing platform. This proposed sandwich-type immunoassay shows good performance.

Polyaluminum chloride-functionalized colloidal gas aphrons for flotation separation of nanoparticles from water.

The present work used the coagulative colloidal gas aphron (CCGA)-involved flotation as a robust technology to efficiently remove the typical engineered nanoparticles - silica nanoparticles (SNPs) from water. The inorganic polymer coagulant - polyaluminum chloride (PACl) was used to surface-functionalize the zwitterionic surfactant (C15B)-based CGAs. Results denote that the physicochemical conditions of PACl/C15B mixed solution markedly influenced the flotation behaviors by changing the properties of CCGAs.

Alkaline fermentation of waste activated sludge stimulated by saponin: volatile fatty acid production, mechanisms and pilot-scale application.

Volatile fatty acid (VFA) production stimulated by saponin (SP), an environmentally friendly bio-surfactant, was investigated during sludge alkaline fermentation in laboratory studies and pilot applications. The combined use of SP and pH 9 condition significantly enhanced VFA production to approximately 425 mg COD/g VSS, which was 4.7-fold of raw sludge and 1.

Hepatic Resection is Safe for Metachronous Hepatic Metastases from Ovarian Cancer.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of hepatic resection (HR) in a relatively unselected group of patients with ovarian cancer liver metastases (OCLM).

Methods: A study was conducted between September 2000 and September 2011 on 60 ovarian cancer patients with hepatic metastases (24 solitary and 36 multiple), 40 of whom had extrahepatic metastases. HR was done in all patients provided that curative hepatic resection was feasible, and extrahepatic disease was controlled with medical and/or surgical therapy.

A new operation mode solving clogging problems of horizontal subsurface constructed wetlands.

Horizontal subsurface constructed wetland (SSFCW) has been widely used to treat wastewater, however the capacity of SSFCW is severely confined by clogging problems which are very common during the lifespan of a SSFCW. Therefore it is of great practical significance to improve the performance of SSFCW. In this study, a new operation mode by changing the flow direction periodically was executed and the performance on the pollutants removal was studied.
