Towards Robust Decision-Making for Autonomous Highway Driving Based on Safe Reinforcement Learning.

Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods are regarded as effective for designing autonomous driving policies. However, even when RL policies are trained to convergence, ensuring their robust safety remains a challenge, particularly in long-tail data. Therefore, decision-making based on RL must adequately consider potential variations in data distribution.

Trajectories and risk factors of persistent cough after pulmonary resection: A prospective two-center study.

Background: Persistent cough is one of the most frequent complications following lung cancer surgery. To promote optimal recovery, we conducted a study to investigate the trajectories of coughing symptoms and their impact on quality of life (QOL), as well as to identify potential risk factors of persistent cough after pulmonary resection (CAP).

Methods: This prospective observational study assessed patients who underwent pulmonary resection for lung tumor at two medical centers in China.

Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance of microRNA-208a in Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Objective: To determine the prognostic and diagnostic significance of microRNA-208a (miR-208a) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: Totally, 84 AMI patients hospitalized in our hospital between Jan. 2019 and Feb.

The relationship between fetuin-A and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) and CHD-related risk factors: A retrospective study.

Fetuin-A plays an important role in antivascular calcification and inflammatory response, it is necessary to explore the relationship between fetuin-A and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD) and CHD-related risk factors.A total of 92 patients with CHD as the research group, and 60 healthy persons as the control group were enrolled from May 2019 to May 2020. Fetuin-A levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the characteristics and clinical data were collected and compared.

The Relationship Between Circulating Neuregulin-1 and Coronary Collateral Circulation in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.

Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) plays a crucial role in myocardial blood supply, especially for ischemic myocardium. Previous study has shown that neuregulin-1 is a prominent angiogenic factor in diabetic cardiomyopathy, whereas the relationship between neuregulin-1 and CCC has not been investigated. Thus, we aimed to investigate relationship between circulating neuregulin-1 levels and CCC in stable coronary artery disease patients.
