Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is globally recognized as a significant pregnancy-related condition, contributing to complex complications for both mothers and infants. Traditional glucose tolerance tests lack the ability to identify the risk of GDM in early pregnancy, hindering effective prevention and timely intervention during the initial stages.

Objective: The primary objective of this study is to pinpoint potential risk factors for GDM and develop an early GDM risk prediction model using neural networks to facilitate GDM screening in early pregnancy.

Article Synopsis
  • Adolescent aggression significantly affects mental health and social functioning, and this study examines the roles of executive dysfunction, impulsivity, and sex in both reactive and proactive aggression among Chinese adolescents.
  • A longitudinal study with 617 middle school students found that executive dysfunction predicted both types of aggression, with impulsivity acting as a partial mediator of this relationship.
  • Results highlighted that sex influences these dynamics, as impulsivity affected proactive aggression only in males, while both genders showed impulsivity's impact on reactive aggression, stronger among males.

The inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) is a promising approach for regulating the blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Oysters, rich in functional peptides, contain peptides capable of inhibiting DPP-IV activity. This study aims to identify the hypoglycemic peptides from oysters and investigate their potential anti-T2D targets and mechanisms.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate changes in the zygomatic pillar during orthodontic treatment involving premolar extraction, analyze the effects of maxillary first molar movement on zygomatic pillar remodeling, and examine occlusal characteristics and stress distribution after remodeling.

Methods: Twenty-five patients who underwent premolar extraction were included in the study. The zygomatic pillar measurement range was defined, and cross-sectional areas, surface landmark coordinates, alveolar and cortical bone thicknesses, and density changes were assessed using Mimics software based on the cone-beam computed tomography scans taken before (T0) and after the treatment (T1).

Uncertainty estimation in real-world scenarios is challenged by complexities arising from peaking phenomena and measurement noises. This article introduces a novel scheme for practical uncertainty estimation to mitigate peaking dynamics and enhance overall dynamic behavior. A fusion estimation framework for lumped uncertainties using multiple extended state observers (ESOs) is constructed, and the low-frequency adaptive parameter learning technique is employed to approximate the optimal fusion.

This article develops the adaptive neural cooperative control scheme for a group of mobile robots with a limited sensing range in presence of input quantization by a dynamic surface control technique. First, to make the controller design feasible, the original robotic system is transformed into a new fully actuated system using a transverse function. Then, taking into consideration the effects of a hysteresis quantizer, an adaptive neural cooperative controller is developed based on the universal approximation property of the radial basis function neural networks and the connectivity preservation strategy.

Divergent transformations of allenylethylene carbonates with diboron reagents catalyzed by copper are disclosed. By using CuCl/IPr·HCl as the catalyst, the allenylethylene carbonates react with Bhex to afford 2,4-dien-1-ols as the product in the presence of CsCO as the base, PrOH as the additive, and 1,4-dioxane as the solvent. And they react with Bpin to form boronic half acids in the presence of NaOBu as the base, water as the additive, and THF as the solvent.

Background: Relative deprivation is one of the factors that influences the development of personality and behavior. However, it is still unclear whether and how relative deprivation decreases the prosocial behavior in adolescents. This study aimed to examine the association between relative deprivation and adolescent prosocial behavior and the role of emotion regulation strategies and empathy in modifying this association.

The peptide-based pan-coronavirus fusion inhibitor EK1 is in phase III clinical trials, and it has, thus far, shown good clinical application prospects against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. To further improve its in vivo long-acting property, we herein developed an Fc-binding strategy by conjugating EK1 with human immunoglobulin G Fc-binding peptide (IBP), which can exploit the long half-life advantage of IgG in vivo. The newly engineered peptide IBP-EK1 showed potent and broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, including various Omicron sublineages and other human coronaviruses (HCoVs) with low cytotoxicity.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in urban target-tracking tasks, where long-term tracking of evasive targets is of great significance for public safety. However, the tracked targets are easily lost due to the evasive behavior of the targets and the unstructured characteristics of the urban environment. To address this issue, this article proposes a hybrid target-tracking approach based on target intention inference and deep reinforcement learning (DRL).

Neuropathic pain is a prevalent condition that affects 6.9%-10% of the population and results from nerve damage due to various etiologies, such as lumbar disc herniation, spinal canal stenosis, and intervertebral foramen stenosis. Although Tuina, a traditional Chinese manual therapy, has shown analgesic effects in clinical practice for the treatment of neuropathic pain, its underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear.

Antibiotics can be a double-edged sword. The application of broad-spectrum antibiotics leads to the suppression of microorganisms in the human body without selective targeting, including numerous non-pathogenic microorganisms within the gut. As a result, dysbiosis of the gut microbiota can occur.

Clinical trials suggest that Tuina manipulation is effective in treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA), while further studies are required to discover its mechanism. Therefore, the manipulation of animal models of knee osteoarthritis is critical. This protocol provides a standard process for Tuina manipulation on KOA rats and a preliminary exploration of the mechanism of Tuina for KOA.

In this article, the problem of integral sliding mode control (ISMC) for a class of nonlinear systems with stochastic characteristics under cyber-attack is investigated. The control system and the cyber-attack are modeled as an Itô-type stochastic differential equation. The stochastic nonlinear systems are approached by the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model.

Purpose: NT-proBNP, a peptide biomarker synthesized and secreted by cardiomyocytes in response to cardiac load, has gained attention in recent years for its potential role in respiratory diseases. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a chronic and progressive inflammatory condition affecting the respiratory system, is frequently associated with comorbidities involving the cardiovascular system. Consequently, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the variations in NT-proBNP levels across distinct patient groups with COPD and establish a foundation for future investigations into the precise clinical significance of NT-proBNP in COPD.

No consensus exists on the antibiotic treatment course for patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Former studies indicate that shorter courses might have the same efficacy with fewer adverse events, which is inconsistent with guidelines and general practice. Existing evidence allows us to conduct a systematic review and Bayesian analysis on this topic.
