The mA modification mediated-lncRNA POU6F2-AS1 reprograms fatty acid metabolism and facilitates the growth of colorectal cancer via upregulation of FASN.

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as key players in tumorigenesis and tumour progression. However, the biological functions and potential mechanisms of lncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) are unclear.

Methods: The novel lncRNA POU6F2-AS1 was identified through bioinformatics analysis, and its expression in CRC patients was verified via qRT-PCR and FISH.

Impacts of logistics agglomeration on carbon emissions in China: a spatial econometric analysis.

Logistics industry relies heavily on fossil fuels and has drawn significant attention for its environmental impact. With a focus on the effect of logistics agglomeration, this paper examines the spatial spillover effects of the Chinese logistics industry on carbon emissions by using the spatial Durbin model based on panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2019. The results indicate that the logistics agglomeration can positively influence emission reduction in both local and surrounding areas.

Electrospun polycaprolactone incorporated with fluorapatite nanoparticles composite scaffolds enhance healing of experimental calvarial defect on rats.

Background: Composite scaffolds that maximize the advantages of different polymers are widely utilized in guided tissue regeneration (GTR). Some studies found that novel composite scaffolds composed of electrospun polycaprolactone/fluorapatite (ePCL/FA) actively promoted the osteogenic mineralization of various cell types However, only a few studies have addressed the application of this composite scaffold membrane material . In this study, the ability of ePCL/FA composite scaffolds and their possible mechanisms were preliminarily explored.

Identification of nitrate sources of groundwater and rivers in complex urban environments based on isotopic and hydro-chemical evidence.

Groundwater and rivers in Chinese cities suffer from severe nitrate pollution. The accurate identification of nitrate sources throughout aquatic systems is key to the water nitrate pollution management. This study investigated nitrogen components of groundwater for twelve years and analyzed the sources of nitrate in the aquatic system based on dual isotopes (δN-NO and δO-NO) in the city of Nanjing, a core city of the Yangtze River Delta region, China.

Solitary and Collective Motion Behaviors of Microrobots under the Coupling of Multiple Light Fields.

Due to their fascinating solitary and collective behavior, photochemical microrobots have attracted extensive attention from researchers and have obtained a series of outstanding research progress in recent years. However, due to the limitation of using a single light source, the realization of reconfigurable and controllable motion behaviors of the photochemical microrobot is still facing a series of challenges. To release these restrictions, we reported a multi-light-field-coupling-based method for driving the photochemical microrobot or its swarm in a regulatable manner.

Cross-modal association analysis and matching model construction of perceptual attributes of multiple colors and combined tones.

Audio-visual correlation is a common phenomenon in real life. In this article, aiming at analyzing the correlation between multiple colors and combined tones, we comprehensively used experimental methods and technologies such as experimental psychology methods, audio-visual information processing technology, and machine learning algorithms to study the correlation mechanism between the multi-color perceptual attributes and the interval consonance attribute of musical sounds, so as to construct an audio-visual cross-modal matching models. Specifically, in the first, this article constructed the multi-color perceptual attribute dataset through the subjective evaluation experiment, namely "cold/warm," "soft/hard," "transparent/turbid," "far/near," "weak/strong," pleasure, arousal, and dominance; and constructed the interval consonance attribute dataset based on calculating the audio objective parameters.

Green grain warehousing: bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review.

Grain warehousing contributes persistent environmental effects in the food supply chain because of its long-term storage feature and distribution requirements. Thus, it has attracted a number of interdisciplinary researchers to the investigations of green grain warehousing (GGW) over the past decades. This paper presents a valuable comprehensive literature review on the existing publications on this topic via bibliometric analysis and systematic review based on 37 papers obtained from three common international academic databases, namely Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCOhost.

Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes with Phosphorus- and Nitrogen-Containing Agents: Effective Reinforcer for Thermal, Mechanical, and Flame-Retardant Properties of Polystyrene Nanocomposites.

Aminated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (A-MWCNT) were reacted with diphenylphosphinic chloride (DPP-Cl) to prepare the functionalized MWCNT (DPPA-MWCNT). A-MWCNT and DPPA-MWCNT were respectively mixed with polystyrene (PS) to obtain composites through the melt compounding method. SEM observations demonstrated that the DPPA-MWCNT nanofillers were more uniformly distributed within the PS matrix than A-MWCNT.
