Article Synopsis
  • Successfully reconstructed and analyzed the mitochondrial and plastid genomes of two Rhododendron species, revealing structural differences and adaptations.
  • The mitogenome of R. vialii forms a single circular molecule, while the plastomes maintain a typical structure with elongated inverted repeats.
  • Highlighted the role of evolutionary lineage over altitude in influencing codon usage and identified genes related to positive selection in high-altitude adaptations, providing insights into organelle evolutionary strategies.

An accurate diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains challenging and the exact cause of the disease is unclean. The aims are to identify hub genes associated with the complement system in PD and to explore their underlying molecular mechanisms. Initially, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and key module genes related to PD were mined through differential expression analysis and WGCNA.

Article Synopsis
  • Rhododendron nivale subsp. boreale is an important alpine species that thrives at high altitudes and can help scientists understand plant adaptations in extreme environments.
  • Researchers sequenced this plant's genome, discovering its tetraploid structure and identifying over 127,000 protein-coding genes, which provides valuable genomic resources for future studies.
  • The study highlighted that gene expression varies across alleles, revealing adaptations related to stress response and reproduction that contribute to the plant's success in its challenging mountain habitat.

Article Synopsis
  • * Girls (13.0%) reported higher rates of abuse compared to boys (10.6%), with several individual, relationship, and community factors influencing these rates.
  • * It emphasizes the need for multilevel prevention strategies that target high-risk adolescents, educate families about abuse prevention, and enhance involvement from parents and communities.

Background: In the past few years, U-Net based U-shaped architecture and skip-connections have made incredible progress in the field of medical image segmentation. U-Net achieves good performance in computer vision. However, in the medical image segmentation task, U-Net with over nesting is easy to overfit.

Article Synopsis
  • Unintended pregnancies (UIP) are a significant reproductive health issue among unmarried college students in mainland China, affecting both personal and socioeconomic well-being.
  • A study surveyed 48,660 college students, focusing on 6,347 sexually experienced 15-26 year olds, to analyze sociodemographic and individual factors linked to UIP, finding an overall prevalence of 17.7%.
  • Key risk factors included older age, living situation (single-parent homes or non-parental), early initiation of sexual activity, casual partners, and factors like sexual abuse and improper condom use.

The rapid development of deep neural networks (DNN) has promoted the widespread application of image recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous driving. However, DNN is vulnerable to adversarial examples, such as an input sample with imperceptible perturbation which can easily invalidate the DNN and even deliberately modify the classification results. Therefore, this article proposes a preprocessing defense framework based on image compression reconstruction to achieve adversarial example defense.

Adversarial examples are regarded as a security threat to deep learning models, and there are many ways to generate them. However, most existing methods require the query authority of the target during their work. In a more practical situation, the attacker will be easily detected because of too many queries, and this problem is especially obvious under the black-box setting.

Background: The monotherapies of statin and ezetimibe had not successfully achieved their objectives in the management of lipid levels of dyslipidemia patients. We aimed to compare the effects of combined low-dose simvastatin and ezetimibe versus high-dose statin on the lipid-lowering treatment of dyslipidemia patients.

Methods: We searched five databases published before May 2018, namely PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Clinicaltrials.

Sensor network intrusion detection has attracted extensive attention. However, previous intrusion detection methods face the highly imbalanced attack class distribution problem, and they may not achieve a satisfactory performance. To solve this problem, we propose a new intrusion detection algorithm based on normalized cut spectral clustering for sensor network in this paper.
