Evaluating the ability of large language models to emulate personality.

For social sciences, recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have the potential to revolutionize the study of human behaviors by facilitating the creation of realistic agents characterized by a diverse range of individual differences. This research presents novel simulation studies assessing GPT-4's ability to role-play real-world individuals with diverse big five personality profiles. In simulation 1, emulated personality responses exhibited superior internal consistency, but also a more distinct and structured factor organization compared to the human counterparts they were based on.

A constitutional isomer selective chemical proteomic strategy for system-wide profiling of protein lysine 5-hydroxylation.

Lysine 5-hydroxylation (5-Hyl) has been well recognized as an essential protein post-translational modification regulating cellular structural stability, RNA alternative splicing and epigenetic gene expression. System-wide enrichment and quantification of 5-Hyl targets have been challenging due to their chemical inert nature and difficulties in differentiating structural isomers in a complex biological sample. Here, we report the development of an efficient chemical proteomic workflow for affinity enrichment and constitutional isomer specific profiling of endogenous 5-Hyl substrates based on highly selective periodate chemistry.

Normobaric Hyperoxia Combined with Endovascular Treatment in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (OPENS-2) Trial: Protocol for a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study.

Normobaric hyperoxia (NBO) is a potentially promising stroke treatment strategy that could protect the ischemic penumbra and could be administered as an adjunct before vascular recanalization. However, the efficacy and safety of NBO have not been confirmed by randomized controlled trials. The study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of NBO for ischemic stroke due to large artery occlusion (LVO) of acute anterior circulation among patients who had endovascular treatment (EVT) and were randomized within 6 h from symptom onset.

Two MADS-box proteins, AGL9 and AGL15, recruit the FIS-PRC2 complex to trigger the phase transition from endosperm proliferation to embryo development in Arabidopsis.

Spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression by polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is critical for animal and plant development. The Arabidopsis fertilization independent seed (FIS)-PRC2 complex functions specifically during plant reproduction from gametogenesis to seed development. After a double fertilization event, triploid endosperm proliferates early, followed by the growth of a diploid embryo, which replaces the endosperm in Arabidopsis and many dicots.

Objective: To determine whether intravenous tirofiban administered within 24 hours of stroke onset prevents early neurological deterioration in patients with acute noncardioembolic stroke compared with oral aspirin.

Multicenter registry study of cerebral venous thrombosis in china (RETAIN-CH): Rationale and design.

Background And Rationale: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder that mainly affects young and middle-aged adults. Epidemiological data on the incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of CVT are lacking in China. In addition, there is a lack of evidence from large, multicenter, real-world studies on the efficacy and safety of endovascular.

Mitotic DNA Synthesis in Untransformed Human Cells Preserves Common Fragile Site Stability via a FANCD2-Driven Mechanism That Requires HELQ.

Faithful genome duplication is a challenging task for dividing mammalian cells, particularly under replication stress where timely resolution of late replication intermediates (LRIs) becomes crucial prior to cell division. In human cancer cells, mitotic DNA repair synthesis (MiDAS) is described as a final mechanism for the resolution of LRIs to avoid lethal chromosome mis-segregation. RAD52-driven MiDAS achieves this mission in part by generating gaps/breaks on metaphase chromosomes, which preferentially occur at common fragile sites (CFS).

Chondroitin sulfate is required for follicle epithelial integrity and organ shape maintenance in Drosophila.

Heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) are evolutionarily conserved glycosaminoglycans that are found in most animal species, including the genetically tractable model organism Drosophila. In contrast to extensive in vivo studies elucidating co-receptor functions of Drosophila HS proteoglycans (PGs), only a limited number of studies have been conducted for those of CSPGs. To investigate the global function of CS in development, we generated mutants for Chondroitin sulfate synthase (Chsy), which encodes the Drosophila homolog of mammalian chondroitin synthase 1, a crucial CS biosynthetic enzyme.

An open natural language processing (NLP) framework for EHR-based clinical research: a case demonstration using the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C).

Despite recent methodology advancements in clinical natural language processing (NLP), the adoption of clinical NLP models within the translational research community remains hindered by process heterogeneity and human factor variations. Concurrently, these factors also dramatically increase the difficulty in developing NLP models in multi-site settings, which is necessary for algorithm robustness and generalizability. Here, we reported on our experience developing an NLP solution for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) signs and symptom extraction in an open NLP framework from a subset of sites participating in the National COVID Cohort (N3C).

TRPM7 kinase mediates hypomagnesemia-induced seizure-related death.

Hypomagnesemia (HypoMg) can cause seizures and death, but the mechanism is unknown. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M 7 (TRPM7) is a Mg transporter with both channel and kinase function. In this study, we focused on the kinase role of TRPM7 in HypoMg-induced seizures and death.

Identification of 113 new histone marks by CHiMA, a tailored database search strategy.

Shotgun proteomics has been widely used to identify histone marks. Conventional database search methods rely on the "target-decoy" strategy to calculate the false discovery rate (FDR) and distinguish true peptide-spectrum matches (PSMs) from false ones. This strategy has a caveat of inaccurate FDR caused by the small data size of histone marks.
