An artificial intelligence powered study of enlarged facial pore prevalence on one million Chinese from different age groups and its correlation with environmental factors.

Background: Enlarged pores are amidst one of the top cosmetic concerns, especially among Chinese. Many small-group studies have been conducted in understanding their prevalence and beauty relevance. Nonetheless, population-level investigations are still lacking because of gaps in data collection and processing of large-scale studies.

Facial adult female acne in China: An analysis based on artificial intelligence over one million.

Background: To further clarify the acne profile of Chinese adult women, we included 1,156,703 adult women. An artificial intelligence algorithm was used to analyze images taken by high-resolution mobile phones to further explore acne levels in Chinese adult women.

Method: In this study, we assessed the severity of acne by evaluating patients' selfies through a smartphone application.

Artificial intelligence analysis of over a million Chinese men and women reveals level of dark circle in the facial skin aging process.

Background: To better compare the progression of dark circles and the aging process in Chinese skin. A total of 100 589 Chinese males and 1 838 997 Chinese females aged 18 to 85, without facial skin conditions, and who had access to a smartphone with a high-resolution camera all took selfies.

Method: Using a smartphone application with a built-in artificial intelligence algorithm, facial skin diagnostic evaluated the selfies and score the severity of the dark circles with four other facial indicators (including skin type, Pores, Acne vulgaris, and Blackheads).

[Impacts of Climate Change and Human Activities on NDVI Change in Eastern Coastal Areas of China].

Based on the datasets of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation and the methods of trend, partial correlation, and residual analyses, this study explored the spatiotemporal variation in NDVI and its response to climate change from 1982 to 2019 in eastern coastal areas of China. Then, the effects of climate change and non-climatic factors (e.g.

Direct Synthesis of Sulfonylated Spiro[indole-3,3'-pyrrolidines] by Silver-Mediated Sulfonylation of Acrylamides Coupled with Indole Dearomatization.

A dearomative tandem spiro-cyclization reaction of -[(1-indol-3-yl)methyl]methacrylamide derivatives with sulfinate sodium in the presence of AgNO and KCO is reported, which produced sulfonylated spiro[indole-3,3'-pyrrolidines] in medium to excellent yields. The characteristics of this transformation contain good functional group tolerance and ease of operation.

[Coal tar pitch smoke extract-induced pyroptosis in human bronchial epithelial cells].

Objective: To explore whether coal tar pitch smoke extract (CTP) induced pyroptosis in human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B).

Methods: BEAS-2B cells were treated with different concentrations of CTP (1, 3 µg/ml) for 8h and 24 h, respectively. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) levels in the supernatants of cell culture media were measured with LDH activity or human IL-1β ELISA kit, respectively.
