Semantic-Attention Enhanced DSC-Transformer for Lymph Node Ultrasound Classification and Remote Diagnostics.

This study presents a novel Semantic-Attention Enhanced Dynamic Swin Convolutional Block Attention Module(CBAM) Transformer (DSC-Transformer) for lymph node ultrasound image classification. The model integrates semantic feature extraction and multi-scale attention mechanisms with the Swin Transformer architecture, enabling efficient processing of diagnostically significant regions while suppressing noise. Key innovations include semantic-driven preprocessing for localized diagnostic focus, adaptive compression for bandwidth-limited scenarios, and multi-scale attention modules for capturing both global anatomical context and local texture details.

Analysis of the spatiotemporal changes in global tropospheric ozone concentrations from 1980 to 2020.

Tropospheric ozone affects human health, ecosystems, and climate change. Previous studies on Tropospheric Column Ozone (TCO) have primarily concentrated on specific regions or global geographic divisions. This has led to insufficient exploration of the spatiotemporal characteristics and influencing factors of TCO in global and rational subregions.

Bacillus licheniformis Jrh14-10 enhances alkaline tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana by regulating crosstalk between ethylene and polyamine pathways.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known for their role in ameliorating plant stress, including alkaline stress, yet the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. This study investigates the impact of various inoculum doses of Bacillus licheniformis Jrh14-10 on Arabidopsis growth under alkaline stress and explores the underlying mechanisms of tolerance enhancement. We found that all tested doses improved the growth of NaHCO-treated seedlings, with 10 cfu/mL being the most effective.

Quorum-quenching enzyme Est816 assisted antibiotics against periodontitis induced by in rats.

Introduction: Quorum-quenching enzyme Est816 hydrolyzes the lactone rings of -acyl homoserine lactones, effectively blocking the biofilm formation and development of Gram-negative bacteria. However, its applications in the oral field is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of enzyme Est816 in combination with antibiotics against periodontitis induced by and .

Invert global and China's terrestrial carbon fluxes over 2019-2021 based on assimilating richer atmospheric CO observations.

With China's commitment to reach carbon peak by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, it is particularly important to obtain terrestrial ecosystem carbon fluxes with low uncertainty both globally and in China. The use of more observation data may help reduce the uncertainty of inverting carbon fluxes. This study uses the observation data from global stations, background stations and provincial stations in China, as well as the OCO-2 satellite, and uses the China Carbon Monitoring, Verification and Supporting System for Global (CCMVS-G) to estimate the carbon fluxes of global and Chinese terrestrial ecosystems from 2019 to 2021.

Labial inverse dilaceration of bilateral maxillary central incisors: A case report.

Background: Dilaceration is a rare dental developmental anomaly characterized by an abrupt deviation along the longitudinal axis of the root in which an angulation forms between the root and the crown. Here, we report on dilacerated bilateral maxillary central incisors in mixed dentition.

Case Summary: A 10-year-old girl presented with a chief complaint of unerupted central incisors.

Herbicidal Activity of Secondary Metabolites Isolated from sp. NEAU-HV44 on Selected Weeds and Crops.

Unravelling Species Diversity and Pathogenicity of spp. Associated with Soybean Leaf and Root in Heilongjiang Province, China.

Soybean ( L.) holds significant global importance and is extensively cultivated in Heilongjiang Province, China. Soybean can be infected by species, causing root rot, seed decay, stem rot, and leaf blight.

Enhancement of sulfur metabolism and antioxidant machinery confers Bacillus sp. Jrh14-10-induced alkaline stress tolerance in plant.

Alkaline stress is a major environmental challenge that restricts plant growth and agricultural productivity worldwide. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be used to effectively enhance plant abiotic stress in an environment-friendly manner. However, PGPR that can enhance alkalinity tolerance are not well-studied and the mechanisms by which they exert beneficial effects remain elusive.

Ongoing CO monitoring verify CO emissions and sinks in China during 2018-2021.

Accurate estimating CO emissions and sinks is crucial in achieving carbon neutrality in China. However, CO emissions from bottom-up inventories are uncertain at regional scales and lack independent verification from atmospheric perspectives. Here we integrated 39 high-precision CO stations in China to top-down invert emission-sink variations at 45 km × 45 km and achieved a full range of inventories verification.

Transcriptome Analysis Revealed That Hydrogen Peroxide-Regulated Oxidative Phosphorylation Plays an Important Role in the Formation of Cap Color.

Description of gen. nov. sp. nov.

During our previous study, strain NEAU-J3 was classified as representing a novel genus '' within the family . Nevertheless, it is a great pity the name cannot be validated as the proposed genus name is illegitimate (Principle 2 of the ICNP). In this study, we describe as a novel genus within the family and a polyphasic approach was used to provide evidence to support the classification.
