Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by abnormal hepatic steatosis and inflammation. Previous studies have shown that Patchouli alcohol (PA), the primary component of Pogostemonis Herba, can alleviate digestive system diseases. However, its protection against MASH remains unclear.

In deep learning, different kinds of deep networks typically need different optimizers, which have to be chosen after multiple trials, making the training process inefficient. To relieve this issue and consistently improve the model training speed across deep networks, we propose the ADAptive Nesterov momentum algorithm, Adan for short. Adan first reformulates the vanilla Nesterov acceleration to develop a new Nesterov momentum estimation (NME) method, which avoids the extra overhead of computing gradient at the extrapolation point.

AdamW modifies Adam by adding a decoupled weight decay to decay network weights per training iteration. For adaptive algorithms, this decoupled weight decay does not affect specific optimization steps, and differs from the widely used l-regularizer which changes optimization steps via changing the first- and second-order gradient moments. Despite its great practical success, for AdamW, its convergence behavior and generalization improvement over Adam and l-regularized Adam ( l-Adam) remain absent yet.

Methods: By applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected patients who underwent H-LCL surgery at our institution from January 2019 to January 2023. We compared the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, Pain Interference (PI), and Physical Function (PF) scores in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) between preoperative and final follow-up assessments of patients, as well as FE submodels.
The promotion of excess low-density lipoprotein (LDL) clearance stands as an effective clinical approach for treating hyperlipidemia. Tetrahydroberberine, a metabolite of berberine, exhibits superior bioavailability compared to berberine and demonstrates a pronounced hypolipidemic effect. Despite these characteristics, the impact of tetrahydroberberine on improving excessive LDL clearance in hyperlipidemia has remained unexplored.

Case Summary: We report an atypical case of EGPA in a 20-year-old female patient. Unlike previously reported cases of EGPA, this patient's initial symptom was asthma associated with a respiratory infection.
Actinides are an important component of nuclear fuel for nuclear power and affect human health, and a key process in the transport of radionuclides in the environment is adsorption on mineral surfaces. In this work, we have used density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the microscopic adsorption and diffusion mechanisms of actinyls, U(V), U(VI), Np(V), Np(VI) Pu(V), and Pu(VI), on the gibbsite (001) surface. Actinyls(VI) are attached to the gibbsite surface through two An-O bonds, which results in a bidentate inner sphere mode, while actinyls(V) favor a monodentate inner sphere adsorption mode with the gibbsite (001) surface.

Breast cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide in 2020. Recently, several deep learning-based classification approaches have been proposed to screen breast cancer in mammograms. However, most of these approaches require additional detection or segmentation annotations.

In order to prove that SOX9 in keratinocytes regulates claudin 2 transcription during skin aging, the skin of 8-week-old and 24-month-old mice is sequenced to obtain a differentially expressed gene SOX9. The gene is mainly expressed in keratinocytes, and it increases first and then decreases from newborn to aging. Six core sequences of SOX9 and claudin 2 are predicted from Jaspar.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of anatomical reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament by partial peroneal brevis tendon combined with double intra-fix screws.
Methods: A clinical data of 46 patients with the anterior talofibular ligament rupture admitted between September 2015 and October 2019 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. All anterior talofibular ligaments were reconstructed with partial peroneal brevis tendon and fixed with double intra-fix screws.

Point cloud is the primary source from 3D scanners and depth cameras. It usually contains more raw geometric features, as well as higher levels of noise than the reconstructed mesh. Although many mesh denoising methods have proven to be effective in noise removal, they hardly work well on noisy point clouds.

However, it is still unknown how to carry out the embedding and kernelization in the models with block diagonal constraints. In this paper, we shall take a step in this direction.
