Carnitine is a friend in HFpEF and foe in HFrEF.

Heart failure (HF) is a global concern, particularly HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), lacking effective treatments. Understanding the differences of metabolic profiles between HFpEF and HFrEF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) patients is crucial for therapeutic advancements. In this study, pseudotargeted metabolomics was employed to analyze for disparities of plasma metabolic profiles between HFpEF and HFrEF in two cohorts: discovery ( = 514) and validation ( = 3368).

Finding: The results showed that the mixture of FeO/CNTs enhances the light harvesting ability and solar interfacial evaporation performance.

The difference of functional MR imaging in evaluating outcome of patients with diffuse and compact brain arteriovenous malformation.

Microsurgical resection is an effective method to treat brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can evaluate the spatial relationship of nidus and eloquent. Diffuse BAVMs are related to poor outcomes postoperatively.

Visible Light-Activated Room Temperature NO Gas Sensing Based on the InO@ZnO Heterostructure with a Hollow Microtube Structure.

The persistent challenge of poor recovery characteristics of NO sensors operated at room temperature remains significant. However, the development of InO-based gas sensing materials provides a promising approach to accelerate response and recovery for sub-ppm of NO detection at room temperature. Herein, we propose a simple two-step method to synthesize a one-dimensional (1D) InO@ZnO heterostructure material with hollow microtubes, by coupling metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (MIL-68 (In)) and zinc ions.

A suitable sampling strategy for the detection of African swine fever virus in living and deceased pigs in the field: a retrospective study.

African swine fever (ASF) is a fatal disease that threatens the health status of the swine population and thus can impact the economic outcome of the global pig industry. Monitoring the ASF virus (ASFV) is of utmost concern to prevent and control its distribution. This study aims to identify a suitable sampling strategy for ASFV detection in living and deceased pigs under field conditions.

Content-Aware Human Mobility Pattern Extraction.

Extracting meaningful patterns of human mobility from accumulating trajectories is essential for understanding human behavior. However, previous works identify human mobility patterns based on the spatial co-occurrence of trajectories, which ignores the effect of activity content, leaving challenges in effectively extracting and understanding patterns. To bridge this gap, this study incorporates the activity content of trajectories to extract human mobility patterns, and proposes acontent-aware mobility pattern model.

Security Management Method of Public Sentiment Analysis Based on Blockchain and Edge Computing.

The popularization of the Internet and the rise of social media enable people to share and access information rapidly, leading to a significant increase in the importance of public opinion analysis. However, public opinion analysis still needs help with issues, such as data security, data sharing, and data credibility, which may result in information leakage and inaccurate analysis results. This article proposes a secure management method for public opinion analysis to address these issues.

CD1d affects the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of human papillary thyroid carcinoma TPC-1 cells via regulating MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of CD1d down-regulation on the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma cells and explore the underlying mechanism.
