Mapping the risk distribution of sensu lato in China from 1986 to 2020: a geospatial modelling analysis.

Lyme borreliosis, recognized as one of the most important tick-borne diseases worldwide, has been increasing in incidence and spatial extent. Currently, there are few geographic studies about the distribution of Lyme borreliosis risk across China. Here we established a nationwide database that involved sensu lato () detected in humans, vectors, and animals in China.

Application of machine learning methods for the prediction of organic solid waste treatment and recycling processes: A review.

Conventional treatment and recycling methods of organic solid waste contain inherent flaws, such as low efficiency, low accuracy, high cost, and potential environmental risks. In the past decade, machine learning has gradually attracted increasing attention in solving the complex problems of organic solid waste treatment. Although significant research has been carried out, there is a lack of a systematic review of the research findings in this field.

Deep learning from label proportions with labeled samples.

Learning from label proportions (LLP), where the training data is in form of bags, and only the proportions of classes in each bag are available, has attracted wide interest in machine learning community. In general, most LLP algorithms adopt random sampling to obtain the proportional information of different categories, which correspondingly obtains some labeled samples in each bag. However, LLP training process always fails to leverage these labeled samples, which may contain essential data distribution information.

Enhanced water solubility, antioxidant activity, and oral absorption of hesperetin by D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate and phosphatidylcholine.

Hesperetin, an abundant bioactive component of citrus fruits, is poorly water-soluble, resulting in low oral bioavailability. We developed new formulations to improve the water solubility, antioxidant activity, and oral absorption of hesperetin. Two nano-based formulations were developed, namely hesperetin-TPGS (D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate) micelles and hesperetin-phosphatidylcholine (PC) complexes.

Travel-related infections in mainland China, 2014-16: an active surveillance study.

Background: Transmission of infection through international travel is a growing health issue, and the frequency of imported infection is increasing in China. We aimed to quantify the total number of infections imported into mainland China by arriving travellers.

Methods: We actively surveyed arriving travellers at all 272 international entry-exit ports in mainland China.

[Full face dermabrasion for acne scars].

Objective: Dermabrasion has been of great value in plastic surgery. Dermabrasion was developed for a specific indication; however, within a very short time, the concept of dermabrasion found wide applicability. This study was to investigate the application of dermabrasion in the treatment of acne scars.

Scaling of directed dynamical small-world networks with random responses.

A dynamical model of small-world networks, with directed links which describe various correlations in social and natural phenomena, is presented. Random responses of sites to the input message are introduced to simulate real systems. The interplay of these ingredients results in the collective dynamical evolution of a spinlike variable S(t) of the whole network.
