Crawling robots are the focus of intelligent inspection research, and the main feature of this type of robot is the flexibility of in-plane attitude adjustment. The crawling robot HIT_Spibot is a new type of steam generator heat transfer tube inspection robot with a unique mobility capability different from traditional quadrupedal robots. This paper introduces a hierarchical motion planning approach for HIT_Spibot, aiming to achieve efficient and agile maneuverability.

Background: Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) allow clinicians to measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and understand patients' treatment priorities, but obtaining PRO requires surveys which are not part of routine care. We aimed to develop a preliminary natural language processing (NLP) pipeline to extract HRQOL trajectory based on deep learning models using patient language.

Materials And Methods: Our data consisted of transcribed interviews of 100 patients undergoing surgical intervention for low-risk thyroid cancer, paired with HRQOL assessments completed during the same visits.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is important for the thyroid gland, development, growth, and metabolism. Defects in TSH production or the thyrotrope cells within the pituitary gland cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH), resulting in growth retardation and neurocognitive impairment. While human TSH is known to display rhythmicity, the molecular mechanisms underlying the circadian regulation of TSH and the effects of TSH-thyroid hormone (TH) signaling on the circadian clock remain elusive.

Objectives: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) contributes to poor aneurysm prognosis. Subarachnoid hemorrhage and DCI have irreversible and severe consequences once they occur; therefore, early prediction and prevention are important. We investigated the risk factors for postoperative complications of DCI in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) requiring mechanical ventilation in intensive care and validated a prediction model.

Article Synopsis
  • The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are important proteins found in many organisms that help regulate various biological processes, but they hadn't been comprehensively studied in orchids before this research.
  • In this study, 94 bHLH transcription factors were identified in orchids, divided into 18 subfamilies, with many linked to stress responses and hormone activities.
  • Analysis of gene expression revealed that 84 of these factors were expressed differently in sepals of various colors, suggesting their potential role in flower color through anthocyanin regulation, especially in specific bHLH subfamily genes.

Objective: Glioblastoma is one of the most common and fatal malignancies in adults. Current treatment is still not optimistic. Glioblastoma (GBM) transports RNA to platelets in the blood system via microvesicles, suggesting that platelet RNA can be a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target.

A miniaturized/portable visual colorimetric system based on hydride generation headspace solid phase extraction (HG-HS-SPE) was proposed for arsenic detection by naked eyes. As(III) was transformed into AsHvia hydride generation process, the volatile AsH was introduced into reaction bottle and reacted with AgNO subsequently. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were generated in situ, resulting in the color changed from white to black, it could be readout by naked eyes or a smartphone application (color extraction, for RGB readout).

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 136 CeMYB transcription factors were identified, categorized into various classes, and organized into 20 phylogenetic clusters, suggesting their diverse biological functions.
  • * Analyses showed that these CeMYBs are mostly located in the nucleus, contain stress-responsive elements, and may play a key role in flower color variation, providing insights for further research on anthocyanin biosynthesis.

The thymus is a pivotal immune organ of the human body, and it is the place where T cells differentiate and mature. The damage of thymus would easily induce autoimmune diseases and even malignant tumors. For years, researchers have been exploring the process of T cell development and revealing the mechanism of thymic injury and regeneration generally through the monolayer culture system of T cells in vitro.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the most common and lethal form of cancer worldwide. However, its diagnosis and treatment are still dissatisfactory, due to limitations in the understanding of its pathogenic mechanism. Therefore, it is important to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and identify novel therapeutic targets for HCC.

Based on the scanning grating mirror developed by us, this paper presents a method for precise control of the scanning grating mirror and high-speed spectrum data acquisition. In addition, a system circuit of the scanning grating mirror control and a spectrum signal acquisition system were designed and manufactured. The final results of the experiment show that the control system successfully allowed the precise control of the swing of the scanning grating mirror and the acquisition system successfully carried out the high-speed acquisition and transmission of the spectrum and angle data.
