DeepRisk network: an AI-based tool for digital pathology signature and treatment responsiveness of gastric cancer using whole-slide images.

Background: Digital histopathology provides valuable information for clinical decision-making. We hypothesized that a deep risk network (DeepRisk) based on digital pathology signature (DPS) derived from whole-slide images could improve the prognostic value of the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging system and offer chemotherapeutic benefits for gastric cancer (GC).

Methods: DeepRisk is a multi-scale, attention-based learning model developed on 1120 GCs in the Zhongshan dataset and validated with two external datasets.

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 facilitates erectile dysfunction via inhibiting autophagy by enhancing the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway in type 1 diabetic mellitus rats.

Background: The relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is currently a hot topic of medical research. It has been reported that autophagy plays a crucial role in causing erectile dysfunction in T1DM. Recent research has shown that mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2) is strongly linked to the development of T1DM.

Clinical characteristics and application value of risk prediction models of acute appendicitis in rural Tibet: a retrospective study.

Introduction: Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical emergency worldwide; however, its diagnosis remains challenging, particularly in rural or remote areas such as Tibet. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and applicability of the routine risk prediction models of acute appendicitis for rural Tibetan populations.

Methods: Data of patients who underwent appendectomy at the Chaya People's Hospital between 1 April 2018 and 30 September 2021 were retrospectively collected.

Intraoperative Pathological Evaluation of Suspicious Peritoneal Nodules for Surgical Decision-making in Gastric Cancer.

Background: When frozen pathological results of suspicious peritoneal nodules found in gastric cancer (GC) patients are negative or indeterminant, whether to perform gastrectomy will always be a dilemma for surgeons. This study aimed to facilitate intraoperative surgical decision-making based on frozen section (FS) results and clinicopathological characteristics.

Methods: From January 2015 to July 2021, 318 GC patients were enrolled retrospectively.

A self-sacrifice template strategy to synthesize Co-LDH/MXene for lithium-ion batteries.

To overcome the limitations of both LDHs and MXenes, we develop a self-sacrifice template strategy using a zeolite imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) to derive Co-LDH anchored on an MXene conductive substrate (Co-LDH/MXene). In this process, ZIF-67 grows on the MXene nanosheets, then spontaneously transforms into Co-LDH/MXene in aqueous solution at room temperature. As the LIB anode, it shows a reversible capacity of 854.

Anti-cholinergics mecamylamine and scopolamine alleviate motion sickness-induced gastrointestinal symptoms through both peripheral and central actions.

Enhanced cholinergic activity contributes to the production of complex autonomic manifestations of motion sickness (MS). However, whether anti-cholinergics exert their anti-MS effects through central or peripheral actions remained unclarified. In the present study, we investigated the effects of mecamylamine (MEC) and scopolamine (SCOP) on rotation-induced gastrointestinal symptoms (conditioned gaping and defecation), locomotion disturbances (hypoactivity and impaired balance performance), hypothermia as well as Fos expression in vestibulo-autonomic regions in rats.

Intimate contacted two-dimensional/zero-dimensional composite of bismuth titanate nanosheets supported ultrafine bismuth oxychloride nanoparticles for enhanced antibiotic residue degradation.

Constructing a two-dimensional/zero-dimensional (2D/0D) composite with matched crystal structure, suitable energy band structure as well as intimate contact interface is an effective way to improve carriers separation for achieving highly photocatalytic performance. In this work, a novel bismuth titanate/bismuth oxychloride (BiTiO/BiOCl) composite consisting of 2D BiTiO nanosheets and 0D BiOCl nanoparticles was constructed for the first time. Germinating ultrafine BiOCl nanoparticles on BiTiO nanosheets can provide abundant contact interface and shorten migration distance of photoinduced carriers via two-step synthesis contained molten salt process and facile chemical transformation process.

Improved Short-Term Clock Prediction Method for Real-Time Positioning.

The application of real-time precise point positioning (PPP) requires real-time precise orbit and clock products that should be predicted within a short time to compensate for the communication delay or data gap. Unlike orbit correction, clock correction is difficult to model and predict. The widely used linear model hardly fits long periodic trends with a small data set and exhibits significant accuracy degradation in real-time prediction when a large data set is used.

P2X7 Receptor Suppression Preserves Blood-Brain Barrier through Inhibiting RhoA Activation after Experimental Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rats.

Blockading P2X7 receptor(P2X7R) provides neuroprotection toward various neurological disorders, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, whether and how P2X7 receptor suppression protects blood-brain barrier(BBB) after intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) remains unexplored. In present study, intrastriatal autologous-blood injection was used to mimic ICH in rats.

Analysis of BeiDou Satellite Measurements with Code Multipath and Geometry-Free Ionosphere-Free Combinations.

Using GNSS observable from some stations in the Asia-Pacific area, the carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) and multipath combinations of BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), as well as their variations with time and/or elevation were investigated and compared with those of GPS and Galileo. Provided the same elevation, the CNR of B1 observables is the lowest among the three BDS frequencies, while B3 is the highest. The code multipath combinations of BDS inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites are remarkably correlated with elevation, and the systematic "V" shape trends could be eliminated through between-station-differencing or modeling correction.

First Results of Field Absolute Calibration of the GPS Receiver Antenna at Wuhan University.

GNSS receiver antenna phase center variations (PCVs), which arise from the non-spherical phase response of GNSS signals have to be well corrected for high-precision GNSS applications. Without using a precise antenna phase center correction (PCC) model, the estimated position of a station monument will lead to a bias of up to several centimeters. The Chinese large-scale research project "Crustal Movement Observation Network of China" (CMONOC), which requires high-precision positions in a comprehensive GPS observational network motived establishment of a set of absolute field calibrations of the GPS receiver antenna located at Wuhan University.
