Absolute negative mobility (ANM) refers to the situation where the average velocity of a driven tracer is opposite to the direction of the driving force. This effect was evidenced in different models of nonequilibrium transport in complex environments, whose description remains effective. Here, we provide a microscopic theory for this phenomenon. We show that it emerges in the model of an active tracer particle submitted to an external force and which evolves on a discrete lattice populated with mobile passive crowders. Resorting to a decoupling approximation, we compute analytically the velocity of the tracer particle as a function of the different parameters of the system and confront our results to numerical simulations. We determine the range of parameters where ANM can be observed, characterize the response of the environment to the displacement of the tracer, and clarify the mechanism underlying ANM and its relationship with negative differential mobility (another hallmark of driven systems far from the linear response).

The effect of occlusal balance and prosthesis on occlusal function of patients after dental implant restoration.
Heliyon
January 2025
Stomatology Medical Center, Aviation General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objective: This observational study investigated the relationship between occlusal balance and the tightness of restorative-contralateral occlusal contact in patients undergoing dental implant restorations.
Methods: A total of 100 patients who received dental implant restorations at our hospital between July 2022 and July 2023 were included. Patients were divided into two groups based on occlusal closeness: an observation group (using 12 μm occlusal paper for occlusion) and a control group (using 20 μm occlusal paper for occlusion).
Depressive, anxiety, and sleep disturbance symptoms in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a network analysis perspective.
BMC Psychiatry
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry Sleep Medical Center, Nanfang Hospital Southern Medical University, No. 1838 North Guangzhou Avenue, Guangzhou, 510515, China.
Background: Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently experience sleep disturbance and psychological distress, such as depression and anxiety, which may have a negative impact on their health status and functional abilities. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance in patients with OSA, the current study utilized network analysis to examine the interconnections among these symptoms.
Methods: Depressive and anxiety symptoms were evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and sleep disturbance symptoms were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Foaming ink for 3D-printing of ultralight and hyperelastic graphene architectures: Multiscale design and ultra-efficient electromagnetic interference shielding.

Extrusion-based printing of macroscopic architectures layer-by-layer offers new opportunities for constructing customized electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. However, current research primarily focuses on improving the printability of material inks by increasing contents and adding various modifiers, controllable construction of ultralight and robust macro-architectures with structural design at both macro- and micro-scales is still challenging. Herein, we develop a graphene oxide foaming ink enriched with air bubbles for direct-ink writing, enabling the creation of macroscopic graphene architectures with arbitrary geometries.

Rheumatology Department, Cochin Hospital, Paris, France; INSERM (U1153): Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of Paris, Paris, France.
Objectives: To assess the ability of a previously trained deep-learning algorithm to identify the presence of inflammation on MRI of sacroiliac joints (SIJ) in a large external validation set of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
Methods: Baseline SIJ MRI scans were collected from two prospective randomised controlled trials in patients with non-radiographic (nr-) and radiographic (r-) axSpA (RAPID-axSpA: NCT01087762 and C-OPTIMISE: NCT02505542) and were centrally evaluated by two expert readers (and adjudicator in case of disagreement) for the presence of inflammation by the 2009 Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) definition. Scans were processed by the deep-learning algorithm, blinded to clinical information and central expert readings.

Introduction: Melanoma (MM), the deadliest form of skin cancer, originates from melanocytes. Despite advances in immunotherapy that have somewhat improved the prognosis for MM patients, high levels of resistance to treatment continue to result in poor clinical outcomes. Identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets is critical for improving the prognosis and treatment of MM.
