In the Guxu mining area, the mining of thin coal seams is complicated by the unknown migration structure of the roof overburden and severe mine pressure. Based on this, taking the 1599 working face as the research background, and using a method that combines theory with simulation, starting from the structural fracture of roof overburden rock in thin coal seams, the roof failure characteristics during the mining process are studied, and the roof caving shape and stress distribution characteristics under the influence of mining speed are studied is explored. The research results show that a cantilever beam with a short length forms in the overburden rock of the soft bedrock roof during thin coal seams mining.

Dopamine (DA) plays a pivotal role in reward processing, cognitive functions, and emotional regulation. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a critical brain region for these processes. Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) neurons are one of the major classes of inhibitory GABAergic neurons in the cortex, they modulate the activity of neighboring neurons, influencing various brain functions.

Article Synopsis
  • Research indicates that the impaired orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is linked to compulsive drug-seeking behaviors in addiction, but the detailed mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • A study using a cocaine-induced model revealed that after withdrawal, dysfunction in the OFC's microcircuit leads to disinhibition.
  • Key findings show that the strength of SST-PV inhibitory synapses affects OFC microcircuit function, with specific roles for SST and PV neurons in influencing cocaine preference, and Brevican plays a role in regulating this synaptic strength.

Background: Despite the increasing prevalence of poor sleep quality among medical students, only few studies have identified the factors associated with it sing methods from epidemiological surveys. Predicting poor sleep quality is critical for ensuring medical Students' good physical and mental health. The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive visual predictive nomogram for predicting the risk of poor sleep quality in medical students.

Background: Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that play important roles in various physiological and pathological functions. Previous studies have demonstrated that exosome-derived contents are promising biomarkers to inform the pathogenesis and diagnosis of major depressive disorder and schizophrenia.

Methods: We used ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to analyze the differentially expressed metabolites in serum exosomes of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and evaluated the potential of exosomal metabolites as biomarkers for BD.

The effects of landscape pattern on plant diversity have been widely reported in literature, with that of urban landscape remaining largely unknown. To explore the impacts of urbanization landscape pattern on plant diversity and its scale effect, 105 plots were investigated in Shunyi District, Beijing. The α and β diversity of each plot were calculated, and 43 urban landscape indices of 10 scales in the range of 100-1000 m were analyzed with 100 m as the step.
