Accurate prediction of PM concentration is important for effectively managing PM exposure and mitigating health and economic risks posed to humans in dry bulk ports. However, accurately capturing the time-series nonlinear variation characteristics of PM concentration is challenging owing to the specific intensity of port operation activities and the influence of meteorological factors. To address such challenges, a novel combined deep learning model (CLAF) was proposed, merging cascaded convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and an attention mechanism (AM).

Objective To analyze the current situation of dietary diversity and caregiver self-efficacy for complementary feeding among infants and young children aged 6 to 23 months in rural Nanchong city,Sichuan province,and to explore the relationship between dietary diversity and caregiver self-efficacy. Methods Multi-stage randomized cluster sampling method was used to select infants and young children aged 6 to 23 months and their caregivers in rural areas of Nanchong city,Sichuan province as the subjects.A structured questionnaire was designed to collect the basic information of the subjects,dietary diversity,and caregiver self-efficacy for complementary feeding.

Aims: Increasing evidence indicates that FK866, a specific noncompetitive nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase inhibitor, exhibits a protective effect on acute lung injury (ALI). Autophagy plays a pivotal role in sepsis-induced ALI. However, the contribution of autophagy and the underlying mechanism by which FK866-confered lung protection remains elusive.

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) manifested clinically in acute and long-term cognitive impairments and associated with increased morbidity and mortality worldwide. The potential pathological changes of SAE are complex and remain to be elucidated. Pyroptosis, a novel programmed cell death, is executed by caspase-1-cleaved GSDMD N-terminal (GSDMD-NT) and we investigated it in peripheral blood immunocytes of septic patients previously.

Increasing evidence demonstrates that pyroptosis, pro-inflammatory programmed cell death, is linked to acute lung injury (ALI). Dihydromyricetin (DHM) has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vascular endothelial cells. However, the effects of DHM on NLRP3 inflammasome-induced pyroptosis in ALI remain elusive.

Pyroptosis plays a pivotal role in sepsis and septic shock in animal studies. However, its clinical significance in pathological conditions has not been well elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the percentage of pyroptotic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the clinical index and to investigate the relationship between PBMCs pyroptosis and the development of sepsis in trauma patients.

Background: The long-term survival in hepatocellullar carcinoma (HCC) patients after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) remains dismal due to local and/or regional recurrence as well as distant metastasis. The efficacy of sorafenib in advanced HCC has been demonstrated and brought great hope. Recently, the use of sorafenib in combination with TACE for BCLC stage B and C HCC patients was recommended.

Purpose: To study the safety and feasibility of endovascular placement of an iodine-125 ((125)I) seed strand and stent combined with chemoembolization to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumor thrombus in the main portal vein (MPV).

Materials And Methods: From February 2008 to October 2009, 32 patients with HCC complicated by tumor thrombus in MPV were enrolled into this study (28 men and 4 women, mean age 53.2 years ± 8.
