Dynamic of stationary soliton to soliton pulsation transition in spatiotemporal mode-locked fiber lasers.

This paper presents the experimental observation of the transition from stationary spatiotemporal soliton (STS) to spatiotemporal soliton pulsation (STSP) in spatiotemporal mode-locked fiber lasers for the first time. Three STSs maintain an asynchronous pulsating state with the same period, while another STS remains in a stationary mode-locked state. Through numerical analysis, the dynamic transition process of STS to STSP is studied.

Flexible, photoluminescent 0D CsPbX (X = Br, Br/I)-PMMA composite films for white LED via water-induced recrystallization.

3D CsPbX inorganic perovskite materials have attracted much attention in optoelectronic devices because of their strong absorbance, high photoluminescent quantum yield, tunable band gap, and narrow emission bandwidth. However, their practical usefulness is limited due to their poor stability in ambient conditions. Here, we created photoluminescent 0D CsPbX (X = Br, Br/I) suspensions in toluene by adding a small amount of water.

Enhancement of sweetpotato tolerance to chromium stress through melatonin and glutathione: Insights into photosynthetic efficiency, oxidative defense, and growth parameters.

Melatonin (MT) and reduced glutathione (GSH) roles in mitigating chromium (Cr) toxicity in sweetpotato were explored. Plants, pre-treated with varying MT and GSH doses, were exposed to Cr (40 μM). Cr severely hampered growth by disrupting leaf photosynthesis, root system, and oxidative processes and increased Cr absorption.

Alleviating sweetpotato salt tolerance through exogenous glutathione and melatonin: A profound mechanism for active oxygen detoxification and preservation of photosynthetic organs.

Salt stress profoundly impacts sweetpotato production. Exogenous glutathione (GSH) and melatonin (MT) promoted plant growth under stress, but their specific roles and mechanisms in sweetpotato salt tolerance need exploration. This study investigated GSH and MT's regulatory mechanisms in sweetpotato under salt stress.

Comparison of the response of microbial communities to region and rootstock disease differences in tobacco soils of southwestern China.

Introduction: Soil microorganisms are essential for crop growth and production as part of soil health. However, our current knowledge of microbial communities in tobacco soils and their impact factors is limited.

Methods: In this study, we compared the characterization of bacterial and fungal communities in tobacco soils and their response to regional and rootstock disease differences.

Serum apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A-I ratio predicts mortality in patients with heart failure.

Aims: Apolipoproteins have been reported to be involved in many cardiovascular diseases. The aim of our study was to investigate the prognostic value of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) to apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) ratio (ApoB/ApoA-I) in patients with heart failure (HF).

Methods And Results: We randomly assigned 2400 HF patients into the training cohort (n = 1400) and the validation cohort (n = 1000).

Association between serum albumin to serum creatinine ratio and mortality risk in patients with heart failure.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between serum albumin to serum creatinine ratio (sACR) and the prognosis of heart failure (HF). In this single-center prospective cohort study, a total of 2625 patients with HF were enrolled between March 2012 and June 2017. All patients were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of sACR.

Association between MMP2 gene polymorphisms and dilated cardiomyopathy in a Chinese Han population.

Aims: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) belongs to the common types of cardiomyopathies. The pathogenesis remains unclear despite the fact that various genes have been found associated with DCM. MMP2 is a zinc-dependent and calcium-containing secreted endoproteinases, which could cleave a broad spectrum of substrates including extracellular matrix components and cytokines.

An eleven autophagy-related genes-based prognostic signature for endometrial carcinoma.

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common malignant tumor in women with increasing mortality. The prognosis of EC is highly heterogeneous which needs more effective biomarkers for clinical decision. Here, we reported the effect of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) on the prognosis of EC.

Common variants in Neuraminidases genes contribute to predisposition to and progression of chronic heart failure.

Introduction The role of neuraminidases in cardiovascular disease has recently gained increasing attention. However, the association between neuraminidase gene polymorphisms and heart failure (HF) has not yet been investigated. Methods and Results Genotyping of nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the NEU2/NEU3/NEU4 genes was performed in 610 HF patients and 600 healthy controls from the Southwest Han Chinese population using TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay.

Immediate and short-term effects of transcatheter device closure of large atrial septal defect in senior people.

Objectives: We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy in improving cardiac function and functional capacity with device closure of large atrial septal defects (ASD) in senior adults.

Background: Atrial septal defect accounts for about 10% of all congenital heart disease. It still remains unclear whether large ASD closure in senior people should be performed or not.

Hydrogen-rich saline protects rat from oxygen glucose deprivation and reperusion-induced apoptosis through VDAC1 via Bcl-2.

Background: Hydrogen is received as an inert gas that thought to be non-functional in vivo previously. Recently, emerging evidences showed that in ischemia/reperfusion (IR) condition, hydrogen reduced cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and ameliorated cell apoptosis. However, the underlying mechanism of hydrogen on IR-induced apoptosis remains elusive.

Molecular correlates and prognostic value of tmTNF-α expression in colorectal cancer of 5-Fluorouracil-Based Adjuvant Therapy.

Transmembrane tumor necrosis factor-α (tmTNF-α) is known to induce the activation of NF-κB to protect tumor cells. Upregulation of tmTNF-α leads to resistance to apoptosis and induces drug resistance in breast cancer. However, the expression of tmTNF-α in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its association with clinical outcome in CRC have remained unclear.

Semi-supervised learning via regularized boosting working on multiple semi-supervised assumptions.

Semi-supervised learning concerns the problem of learning in the presence of labeled and unlabeled data. Several boosting algorithms have been extended to semi-supervised learning with various strategies. To our knowledge, however, none of them takes all three semi-supervised assumptions, i.
