CACNA1C gene polymorphism (rs1006737) is a susceptibility factor for both schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BP). However, its role in working memory, a cognitive function that is impaired in both diseases, is not clear. Using three samples, including healthy controls, patients with SCZ, and patients currently in manic episodes of BP, this study tested the association between the SNP rs1006737 and spatial working memory as measured by an N-back task and a dot pattern expectancy (DPX) task. Among SCZ patients and healthy controls, the clinical risk allele was associated with impaired working memory, but the association was either in opposite direction or non-significant in patients with BP. These results indicated that rs1006737 may have differential effects on working memory in different disease populations and pointed to the necessity for more studies in different patient populations.

Disrupted hippocampal functions and progressive neuronal loss represent significant challenges in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). How to achieve the improvement of pathological progression and effective neural regeneration to ameliorate the intracerebral dysfunctional environment and cognitive impairment is the goal of the current AD therapy. We examined the therapeutic potential of clinical-grade human derived dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) in cognitive function and neuropathology in AD.

This study predicts the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) for defective gamma-graphyne nanoribbons (γ-GYNRs) using binary coding, convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), and multi-scale feature fusion. The approach accurately predicts ZT values with only 500 initial structures (3% of 16,512 candidates), achieving an R above 0.91 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.

Efficient identification of the flocculation state of waste drilling fluid remains a significant challenge. This study proposes an improved You Only Look Once version 8 nano-algorithm (YOLOv8n), specifically optimized for real-time monitoring of drilling fluid flocculation under field conditions. The algorithm employs MobileNetV3 as the backbone network to minimize memory usage, improve detection speed, and reduce computational requirements.

Human brucellosis remains a significant public health issue in the Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. To assist local Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in promptly formulate effective prevention and control measures, this study leveraged time-series data on brucellosis cases from February 2010 to September 2023 in Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture. Three distinct predictive modeling techniques-Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks-were employed for long-term forecasting.
