The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in orchestrating tumor cell behavior and cancer progression. Recent advances in spatial profiling technologies have uncovered novel spatial signatures, including univariate distribution patterns, bivariate spatial relationships, and higher-order structures. These signatures have the potential to revolutionize tumor mechanism and treatment.

The assembly of rhizosphere microbial communities is essential for maintaining plant health, yet it is influenced by a wide range of biotic and abiotic factors. The key drivers shaping the composition of these communities, however, remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed 108 plant samples and evaluated root traits, plant growth characteristics, soil enzyme activities, rhizosphere metabolites, and soil chemical properties to identify the primary determinants of rhizosphere community assembly.

The classification and recognition of features play a vital role in production and daily life; however, the current semantic segmentation of remote sensing images is hampered by background interference and other factors, leading to issues such as fuzzy boundary segmentation. To address these challenges, we propose a novel module for encoding and reconstructing multi-dimensional feature layers. Our approach first utilizes a bilinear interpolation method to downsample the multi-dimensional feature layer in the coding stage of the U-shaped framework.

Vegetation changes can affect soil organic carbon (SOC) content and storage by altering the inputs of plant biomass and the catabolism and anabolism of soil microorganisms. However, influence of vegetation degradation on aggregate associated carbon fractions and the contribution of different aggregates to total SOC in bulk soil remains poorly understood. In this study, undisturbed soil samples were collected from three types of grassland in Songnen grassland: an undegraded grassland (LEY, Leymus chinensis), a moderately degraded grassland (CHL, Chloris virgata), and a severely degraded grassland (SUA, Suaeda heteroptera).

Article Synopsis
  • Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key players in the tumor microenvironment, particularly in liver cancer, where different subsets of CAFs can influence cancer progression.
  • A new subgroup of CAFs, called F5-CAF, has been identified, showing specific markers and a close association with cancer cells that exhibit stemness, suggesting a critical role in promoting tumor growth.
  • The prevalence of F5-CAF in hepatocellular carcinoma is linked to poorer patient outcomes, highlighting its potential as a target for developing treatments aimed at disrupting CAF support for cancer stem cells.

Introduction: The sowing date plays a crucial role in influencing the growth and reproduction of plants, with its specific impact on biomass allocation and allometric growth remaining unclear. Understanding these effects is essential for optimizing agricultural practices and enhancing crop productivity.

Methods: To investigate the effects of sowing dates on biomass allocation and allometric growth, a field experiment was conducted with sequential sowings of Fagopyrum esculentum from April 12th to August 11th in 2018.

One model of a disease-suppressive soil predicts that the confrontation of plant with a phytopathogen can lead to the recruitment and accumulation of beneficial microorganisms. However, more information needs to be deciphered regarding which beneficial microbes become enriched, and how the disease suppression is achieved. Here, we conditioned soil by continuously growing eight generations of cucumber inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum f.

The trade-off between leaf size and number is the basis for plant growth strategies. It is of great significance to study the underlying mechanism of leaf size and number trade-offs for well understanding plant growth strategies. In this study, leaf size was expressed by the dry mass of single leaf, while leafing intensity was expressed by the number of leaves per unit stem volume.

1,3,3-Trinitroazetidine (TNAZ) has a molecular formula of C H N O and the characteristics of low melting point, low impact sensitivity and good thermal stability. It is suitable for melt casting and pressed charges, and it has broad prospects for applications in low-sensitivity ammunition. In this study, the thermal decomposition of TNAZ crystals at high temperature was calculated by molecular dynamics simulation with the ReaxFF/lg reactive force field.

A hybrid metaheuristic approach by hybridizing harmony search (HS) and firefly algorithm (FA), namely, HS/FA, is proposed to solve function optimization. In HS/FA, the exploration of HS and the exploitation of FA are fully exerted, so HS/FA has a faster convergence speed than HS and FA. Also, top fireflies scheme is introduced to reduce running time, and HS is utilized to mutate between fireflies when updating fireflies.

Path planning for uninhabited combat air vehicle (UCAV) is a complicated high dimension optimization problem, which mainly centralizes on optimizing the flight route considering the different kinds of constrains under complicated battle field environments. Original bat algorithm (BA) is used to solve the UCAV path planning problem. Furthermore, a new bat algorithm with mutation (BAM) is proposed to solve the UCAV path planning problem, and a modification is applied to mutate between bats during the process of the new solutions updating.

Three-dimension path planning for uninhabited combat air vehicle (UCAV) is a complicated high-dimension optimization problem, which primarily centralizes on optimizing the flight route considering the different kinds of constrains under complicated battle field environments. A new hybrid metaheuristic differential evolution (DE) and cuckoo search (CS) algorithm is proposed to solve the UCAV three-dimension path planning problem. DE is applied to optimize the process of selecting cuckoos of the improved CS model during the process of cuckoo updating in nest.

Objective: To investigate and evaluate prevention and treatment of seroma by transposition of tissue flaps and Arista hemostatic powder after regional lymph node resection in patients with malignant tumors.

Methods: Twelve patients (6 males, 6 females; aged 31-81 years, with metastatic tumors underwent prevention and treatment of seroma with the tissue flaps and Arista hemostatic powder spray after regional lymph node resection. The metastatic tumors involved the axilla in 1 patient with breast carcinoma, the iliac and inguinal regions in 2 patients with carcinomas of the uterine cervix and the rectum, and the inguinal region in 9 patients, including 4 patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma(3 in the thigh, 1 in the leg), 2 patients with squamous carcinomas in the leg, 1 patient with synovial sarcoma in the knee, 1 patient with epithelioid sarcoma in the leg, and 1 patient with malignant melanoma in the foot.
