Fraud detection within transaction data is crucial for maintaining financial security, especially in the era of big data. This paper introduces a novel fraud detection method that utilizes quantum computing to implement community detection in transaction networks. We model transaction data as an undirected graph, where nodes represent accounts and edges indicate transactions between them.

Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity, mortality, and disability, making it the second leading cause of death worldwide. Ischemic stroke (IS) accounts for the majority of strokes, and its pathogenesis is complex, often involving complications and sequelae. Currently, conventional clinical approaches are ineffective, with few drugs available for intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombolysis limited by a short time window.

(1) Background: Insomnia is a neurological illness that poses a significant threat to both physical and mental health. It results in the activation of neuroglial cells, heightened neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disruptions in the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. (CX) and Finger citron (FC) are frequently utilized botanicals for addressing sleeplessness.

The Montreal Protocol has been successful in safeguarding the ozone layer and curbing climate change. However, accurately estimating and reducing the time-lagged emissions of ozone-depleting substances or their substitutes, such as produced but not-yet-emitted fluorocarbon banks, remains a significant challenge. Here, we use a dynamic material flow analysis model to characterize the global stocks and flows of two fluorocarbon categories, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), from 1986 to 2060.

The CACNA1A gene encodes the alpha-1A subunit of P/Q type voltage-gated calcium channel Ca2.1, which is associated with a broad clinical spectrum and variable symptomatology. While few patients with progressive ataxia caused by CACNA1A missense variants have been reported, here we report three unrelated Chinese patients with progressive ataxia due to de novo missense variants in the CACNA1A gene, including a novel pathogenic variant (c.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists are learning more about how the brain and lungs talk to each other, especially when there's an injury to either one.
  • When the brain is hurt, it can harm the lungs, and when the lungs are sick, it can make brain problems worse.
  • The review explains the different ways these two organs communicate and offers ideas for treating related health issues.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by immune dysregulation and intestinal inflammation. Rapamycin (Ra), an mTORC1 pathway inhibitor, has shown promise for autophagy induction in IBD therapy but is associated with off-target effects and toxicity. To address these issues, we developed an oral liposome responsive to reactive oxygen species (ROS) using lipids and amphiphilic materials.

Molecular docking is important in drug discovery but is burdensome for classical computers. Here, we introduce Grid Point Matching (GPM) and Feature Atom Matching (FAM) to accelerate pose sampling in molecular docking by encoding the problem into quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) models so that it could be solved by quantum computers like the coherent Ising machine (CIM). As a result, GPM shows a sampling power close to that of Glide SP, a method performing an extensive search.

Background: To explore the effect of calcium dobesilate combined with hypoglycemic drugs in the treatment of cataract complicated with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and its effects on fundus microcirculation, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), mono - cyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF).

Methods: From March 2019 to January 2021, a total of 114 patients with cataract and NPDR were included, and the patients were assigned into the control and the observation groups by random number table method, with 57 cases/group. The control was given hypoglycemic drugs, and the observation was given calcium dobesilate combined therapy.

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases have become one of the leading causes of death in the global population. The pathogenesis of CNS diseases is complicated, so it is important to find the patterns of the disease to improve the treatment strategy. Microglia are considered to be a double-edged sword, playing both harmful and beneficial roles in CNS diseases.

  • Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is prevalent in China, but there was limited research on CAT interruptions in this population.
  • In a study, CAT interrupted pathogenic alleles were found in 5.1% of Chinese SCA1 families, showcasing a higher median of CAG repeats compared to those without interruptions and a later age of onset.
  • The differences in the interruption patterns between Chinese and Caucasian cohorts suggest that genetic variations may be influenced by race.

In limited land space, improving the construction of infrastructure with ecological services can help to achieve the goal of promoting land use eco-efficiency (LUEE). In view of this, this study constructed interactive coordination relationship model of green infrastructure (GI) and LUEE that involves entropy method model, super-efficiency slack-based measure (SBM) model with undesirable outputs, and coupling coordination degree model. The interactive coordination relationship model can help to study and reveal the mechanisms of interaction and the coordination relationship between GI and LUEE from a land benefit and ecological perspective.

  • - SSB2, derived from the herb Radix Bupleuri, is a traditional remedy for depression that has been used for over 2,000 years, although its molecular mechanisms are still being researched.
  • - The study focused on SSB2's anti-inflammatory effects in both lab cultures and a mouse model of depression induced by chronic mild stress, utilizing various behavioral tests to assess depressive symptoms.
  • - Results showed that SSB2 improved depressive behaviors, reduced inflammation, and protected against neuronal damage by interfering with pathways related to inflammation and cell stress, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for depression.

Cognitive impairment (CI), mainly Alzheimer's disease (AD), continues to increase in prevalence and is emerging as one of the major health problems in society. However, until now, there are no first-line therapeutic agents for the allopathic treatment or reversal of the disease course. Therefore, the development of therapeutic modalities or drugs that are effective, easy to use, and suitable for long-term administration is important for the treatment of CI such as AD.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of special oral care mode on periodontal health of adolescent orthodontic patients.

Methods: From January 2019 to January 2020, one hundred adolescent orthodontic patients who received treatment in our hospital were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the principle of completely random number table, with 50 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given routine oral care, while those in the experimental group were given special oral care; three months later, the periodontal health status of the two groups were compared using SPSS 21.

Collagen is the predominant structural protein within connective tissues. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is characterized by weakening of the pelvic floor connective tissues and loss of support for pelvic organs. In this study, we examined the multiscale structure, molecular composition and biomechanics of native collagen fibrils in connective tissues of the posterior vaginal fornix collected from healthy women and POP patients, and established the correlation of these properties with clinical POP quantification (POP-Q) scores.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which has brought a huge burden to the world. The current therapeutic approach of one-molecule-one-target strategy fails to address the issues of AD because of multiple pathological features of AD. Traditionally, the herb of Angelica sinensis (AS) comes from the root of an umbrella plant (Oliv.

Internal organs fibrosis (IOF) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most chronic inflammatory diseases, which is responsible for 45% of deaths due to disease. However, there is a paucity of drugs used to treat IOF, making it urgent to find medicine with good efficacy, low toxic side effects and good prognosis. Essential oils (EOs) extracted from natural herbs with a wide range of pharmacological components, multiple therapeutic targets, low toxicity, and broad sources have unique advantages and great potential in the treatment of IOF.
