Using serial analysis of myocardial gene expression employing endomyocardial biopsy starting material in a dilated cardiomyopathy cohort, we show that mRNA expression of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) cardiac myocyte receptor ACE2 is up-regulated with remodeling and with reverse remodeling down-regulates into the normal range. The proteases responsible for virus-cell membrane fusion were expressed but not regulated with remodeling. In addition, a new candidate for SARS-CoV-2 cell binding and entry was identified, the integrin encoded by . Up-regulation in ACE2 in remodeled left ventricles may explain worse outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 who have underlying myocardial disorders, and counteracting ACE2 up-regulation is a possible therapeutic approach to minimizing cardiac damage.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has affected more than two million people of the world, and far social distancing and segregated lifestyle have to be adopted as a common solution in recent years. To solve the problem of sanitation control and epidemic prevention in public places, in this paper, an intelligent disinfection control system based on the STM32 single-chip microprocessor was designed to realize intelligent closed-loop disinfection in local public places such as public toilets. The proposed system comprises seven modules: image acquisition, spraying control, disinfectant liquid level control, access control, voice broadcast, system display, and data storage.

Early prediction of patient responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is essential for the precision treatment of early breast cancer (EBC). Therefore, this study aims to noninvasively and early predict pathological complete response (pCR). We used dynamic ultrasound (US) imaging changes acquired during NACT, along with clinicopathological features, to create a nomogram and construct a machine learning model.

The Tibetan Plateau is home to numerous glaciers that are important for freshwater supply and climate regulation. These glaciers, which are highly sensitive to climatic variations, serve as vital indicators of climate change. Understanding glacier-fed hydrological systems is essential for predicting water availability and formulating climate adaptation strategies.
