An improved transformer model based on a multi-head attention mechanism was constructed for long-term prediction of PM concentration. The monitoring data and meteorological data from 12 air monitoring stations in Beijing from March 2013 to December 2016 were collected and used in the transformer model. The Pearson coefficient was used to explore the key factors affecting PM concentration.

The Hamiltonian, which determines the evolution of a quantum system, is fundamental in quantum physics. Therefore, it is crucial to implement high-precision generation and measurement of the Hamiltonian in a practical quantum system. Here, we experimentally demonstrate ultrahigh-precision Hamiltonian parameter estimation with a significant quantum advantage in a superconducting circuit via sequential control.

Extensive exploration of the molecular subtypes of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is critical for advancing precision medicine. Notably, the luminal androgen receptor (LAR) subtype has attracted attention for targeted treatment combining androgen receptor antagonists and CDK4/6 inhibitors. Unfortunately, this strategy has proven to be of limited efficacy, highlighting the need for further optimization.

In this work, a series of novel coumarin-based derivatives were designed and synthesized as tubulin polymerization inhibitors targeting the colchicine binding site, and their antiproliferative activities against MGC-803, HCT-116 and KYSE30 cells were evaluated. Among them, the compound I-3 (MY-1442) bearing a 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline group exhibited most potent inhibitory activities on MGC-803 (IC = 0.034 μM), HCT-116 (IC = 0.

Introduction: Post-operative nausea and/or vomiting (PONV) is a common post-operative adverse reaction and has been associated with post-operative sufentanil injection. The assessment of the relationship between intraoperative opioid consumption and PONV has been understudied. This study examined the relationship between intraoperative sufentanil administration and PONV.

Article Synopsis
  • TEAS may help with pain relief after major abdominal surgery, but it doesn't affect the time to first bowel sounds post-surgery.
  • In a study of 441 patients, those who received TEAS during and after surgery reported lower pain scores compared to those who got sham treatment.
  • Overall, while TEAS may not speed up gastrointestinal recovery, it could enhance postoperative pain management and support rehabilitation.

Histone deacetylases, as a new class of anticancer targets, could maintain homeostasis by catalyzing histone deacetylation and play important roles in regulating the expression of target genes. Due to the fact that simultaneous intervention with dual tumor related targets could improve treatment effects, researches on innovative design of dual-target drugs are underway. HDAC is known as a "sensitizer" for the synergistic effects with other anticancer-target drugs because of its flexible structure design.

The microtubule system plays an important role in the mitosis and growth of eukaryotic cells, and it is considered as an appealing and highly successful molecular target for cancer treatment. In fact, microtubule targeting agents, such as paclitaxel and vinblastine, have been approved by FDA for tumor therapy, which have achieved significant therapeutic effects and sales performance. At present, microtubule targeting agents mainly include microtubule-destabilizing agents, microtubule-stabilizing agents, and a few tubulin degradation agents.

As an important epigenetic regulator, histone lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) has become an attractive target for the discovery of anticancer agents. In this work, a series of tranylcypromine-based derivatives were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound 12u exhibited the most potent inhibitory potency on LSD1 (IC = 25.

Background: Information seeking, as an important part of the prevention and control of infectious diseases, can lead to positive outcomes by reducing uncertainty and alleviating panic. However, most previous studies have limited their analysis to individual-level psychosocial factors, and little is known about how social-level factors influence individuals' information-seeking intentions.

Methods: The cross-sectional survey was conducted from July 30, 2020 to August 15, 2020 in China.

[1,2,4]Triazolo[1,5-]pyrimidine and indole skeletons are widely used to design anticancer agents. Therefore, in this work, a series of [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-]pyrimidine indole derivatives were designed and synthesized by the molecular hybridization strategy. The antiproliferative activities of the target compounds - against three human cancer cell lines, MGC-803, HCT-116 and MCF-7, were tested.

The growing contamination of arsenic and plastics has severely effects on the soil fauna health, including shifts of gut microbiota community. A few studies have focused on effects of microplastics and metal(loid) in soil and fauna gut microbiome. However, the environmental effect of nanoplastics and arsenic on the earthworm gut microbiota, especially on arsenic biotransformation in the gut, remain largely unknown.

Proteins are a main organic nitrogen source for microorganisms. Many heterotrophic microorganisms secrete extracellular proteases (ex-proteases) to efficiently decompose proteins into oligopeptides and amino acids when exterior proteins are required for growth. These ex-proteases not only play important roles in microbial nutrient acquisition or host infection but also contribute greatly to the global recycling of carbon and nitrogen.

The biocontrol fungus SMF2 secretes a large quantity of peptaibols that have been shown to have a range of biological activities and therefore great application values. However, the mechanism of the regulatory expression of peptaibols is still unclear. The putative methyltransferase LaeA/LAE1 is a global regulator involved in the biosynthesis of some secondary metabolites in filamentous fungi.

Background: Structurally stable α-galactosidases are of great interest for various biotechnological applications. More thermophilic α-galactosidases with high activity and structural stability have therefore to be mined and characterized. On the other hand, few studies have been performed to prominently enhance the AOX1 promoter activity in the commonly used Pichia pastoris system, in which production of some heterologous proteins are insufficient for further study.
