SSM-Net: Enhancing Compressed Sensing Image Reconstruction with Mamba Architecture and Fast Iterative Shrinking Threshold Algorithm Optimization.

Compressed sensing (CS) is a powerful technique that can reduce data size while maintaining high reconstruction quality, which makes it particularly valuable in high-dimensional image applications. However, many existing methods have difficulty balancing reconstruction accuracy, computational efficiency, and fast convergence. To address these challenges, this paper proposes SSM-Net, a novel framework that combines the state-space modeling (SSM) of the Mamba architecture with the fast iterative shrinking threshold algorithm (FISTA).

Fully biodegradable ion-induced silk fibroin-based triboelectric nanogenerators with enhanced performance prevent muscle atrophy.

Applying electrical stimulation (ES) on nerve or muscle denervation can significantly restore the nerve function and prevent muscle atrophy. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can couple the mechanical energy and electrical energy for ES. However, the triboelectric performance of fully biodegradable TENGs and the effect of ES need to be optimized and verified.

The moderating role of narcissism on the impact of leader learning goal orientation on follower adaptivity through follower goal orientation: a social cognitive theory perspective.

Drawing from social cognitive theory, we hypothesize that leader learning goal orientation is associated with follower learning goal orientation, which in turn is associated with follower adaptive performance. Additionally, we investigate whether a dark-side personality characteristic - follower narcissism - has the potential to disrupt the leader-to-follower learning goal orientation social cognitive process. Our findings support our hypotheses such that follower learning goal orientation mediates the effect of leader learning goal orientation on follower adaptive performance, and that follower narcissism diminishes the indirect effect of leader learning goal orientation on follower adaptive performance via follower learning goal orientation.

Effects of Silk Fibroin Hydrogel Degradation on the Proliferation and Chondrogenesis of Encapsulated Stem Cells.

Silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels are widely used in three-dimensional (3D) cell culture and tissue repair. Despite their importance, few studies have focused on regulating their degradation and further revealing the effects of the degradation process on encapsulated cell behaviors. Herein, SF hydrogels with equivalent initial properties and different degradation rates were prepared by adjusting the ratios between the hydrogel-encapsulated normal SF microspheres (MS) and enzyme-loaded SF microspheres (MS).

Electrocatalytic Mapping of Metal Fatigue with Persistent Slip Bands.

Metal fatigue, characterized by the accumulation of dislocation defects, is a prevalent failure mode in structural materials. Nondestructive early-stage detection of metal fatigue is extremely important to prevent disastrous events and protect human life. However, the lack of a precise quantitative method to visualize fatigue with spatiotemporal resolution poses a significant obstacle to timely detection.

A tactile perception method with flexible grating structural color.

Affordable high-resolution cameras and state-of-the-art computer vision techniques have led to the emergence of various vision-based tactile sensors. However, current vision-based tactile sensors mainly depend on geometric optics or marker tracking for tactile assessments, resulting in limited performance. To solve this dilemma, we introduce optical interference patterns as the visual representation of tactile information for flexible tactile sensors.

The clinical value of local consolidative therapy for oligo-residual disease in PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors-treated non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: Few real-world studies exist regarding the clinical value of local consolidative therapy (LCT) for oligo-residual disease (ORD) in NSCLC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Therefore, we retrospectively evaluated whether LCT could improve the prognosis of NSCL patients with ORD after effective first-line PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors treatment.

Methods: A total of 132 patients with metastatic NSCLC who had received first-line PD-1/PD-L1inhibitors-based systemic treatment and developed ORD (defined as residual tumors limited to three organs and five lesions) were included.

Long-term outcomes of Gamma Knife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia patients with or without concomitant continuous pain.

The effectiveness of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) in treating trigeminal neuralgia (TN) has been demonstrated by a number of previous studies. However, there is a lack of research specifically documenting the initial and long-term outcomes of paroxysmal and persistent pain respectively following GKRS for TN with concomitant continuous pain (CCP). This study retrospectively analyzed pain outcomes and complications in 46 TN patients with CCP and 112 patients without CCP who underwent GKRS as initial surgical intervention at our institution from January 2019 to January 2024.

High External Quantum Efficiency and Ultra-Narrowband Organic Photodiodes Using Single-Component Photoabsorber With Multiple-Resonance Effect.

Organic photodiodes (OPDs) that utilize wavelength-selective absorbing molecules offer a direct approach to capturing specific wavelengths of light in multispectral sensors/imaging systems without filters. However, they exhibit broad response bandwidths, low external quantum efficiency (EQE), and often require compromises in two-component photoactive materials. Herein, the first utility of boron-nitrogen (BN) single-component photoabsorbers, leveraging a multi-resonance effect are introduced to attain OPDs with both record-high EQE of 33.

Flexible Neural Interface From Non-Transient Silk Fibroin With Outstanding Conformality, Biocompatibility, and Bioelectric Conductivity.

Silk fibroin (SF) with good biocompatibility can enable an efficient and safe implementation of neural interfaces. However, it has been difficult to achieve a robust integration of patterned conducting materials (multichannel electrodes) on flexible SF film substrates due to the absence of some enduring interactions. In this study, a thermo-assisted pattern-transfer technique is demonstrated that can facilely transfer a layer of pre-set poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) onto the flexible SF substrate through an interpenetrating network of 2 polymer chains, achieving a desired substrate/conductor intertwined interface with good flexibility (≈33 MPa), conductivity (386 S cm) and stability in liquid state over 4 months simultaneously.
