CSCA-YOLOv8: A lightweight network model for evaluating drought resistance in mung bean.

Drought is one of the main factors affecting mung bean production in China. Screening drought-resistant germplasm resources and cultivating drought-resistant varieties are of great significance to the development of the mung bean industry in China. Combined with chlorophyll fluorescence imaging technology, this paper proposes a lightweight mung bean drought resistance identification network model based on YOLOv8, referred to as CSCA-YOLOv8.

Adaptive wavelength calibration for robust multi-plane phase retrieval.

Multi-plane phase retrieval reconstructs complex wavefronts from axially scanned diffraction patterns. However, laser instability or calibration errors can cause the experimental wavelength to deviate from the nominal value, resulting in cumulative phase errors and resolution loss. Here, we propose an adaptive wavelength calibration (AWC) algorithm to compensate for wavelength deviations by adjusting axial propagation distances during iteration.

Angio-associated migratory cell protein promotes colorectal cancer progression by enhancing phosphoglycerate kinase 1 phosphorylation.

To elucidate the oncogenic role of angio-associated migratory cell protein (AAMP) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its mechanistic interplay with phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1). AAMP expression was analyzed in CRC and normal tissues (tissue microarrays-immunohistochemical/Western blot). Functional impacts were assessed via siRNA knockdown and lentiviral overexpression in CRC cell lines (proliferation: CCK-8/3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide/clonogenic assays; tumorigenesis: xenografts).

Hyphae Carbon Coupled with Gel Composite Assembly for Construction of Advanced Carbon/Sulfur Cathodes for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries.

The design and fabrication of novel carbon hosts with high conductivity, accelerated electrochemical catalytic activities, and superior physical/chemical confinement on sulfur and its reaction intermediates polysulfides are essential for the construction of high-performance C/S cathodes for lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). In this work, a novel biofermentation coupled gel composite assembly technology is developed to prepare cross-linked carbon composite hosts consisting of conductive Rhizopus hyphae carbon fiber (RHCF) skeleton and lamellar sodium alginate carbon (SAC) uniformly implanted with polarized nanoparticles (VO, Ag, Co, etc.) with diameters of several nanometers.

Combined helical tomotherapy and Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery for high-grade recurrent orbital meningioma: a case report.

Orbital meningioma is a rare type of orbital tumor with high invasiveness and recurrence rates, making it extremely challenging to treat. Due to the special location of the disease, surgery often cannot completely remove the tumor, requiring postoperative radiation therapy. Here, we report a case of an elderly male patient with right-sided proptosis, visual impairment, and diplopia.

Assessment of Chinese rehabilitation assistance system for disabled children.

Using the social support theory for reference, a subject-object influencing mechanism model of China's rehabilitation assistance system for disabled children is built based on the survey data on 1,698 disabled children in 243 designated rehabilitation institutions in Hu'nan Province as well as the topic of the assessment and optimization of the rehabilitation assistance system for disabled children. The analysis using the structural equation modeling reveals that the inclusive welfare effect of the rehabilitation assistance system for disabled children has emerged, and disabled children receiving free rehabilitation in the designated institutions have achieved good rehabilitation results as a whole, however, disabled children of different age groups have generational differences in the rehabilitation effects, and the preferential aspect of the system needs to be strengthened. Government support, institutional support, and social support have positive non-equilibrium effects in enhancing the rehabilitation effects of disabled children.

Histone demethylase KDM2A suppresses EGF-TSPAN8 pathway to inhibit breast cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro.

Metastasis is a major cause of breast cancer mortality and the current study found histone demethylase, KDM2A, expression to be negatively correlated with breast cancer metastasis. KDM2A knockdown greatly promoted migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. The histone demethylase activity of KDM2A downregulated EGF transcription and suppressed the EGF-TSPAN8 pathway.

Design and Fabrication of Silicon-Blazed Gratings for Near-Infrared Scanning Grating Micromirror.

Blazed gratings are the critical dispersion elements in spectral analysis instruments, whose performance depends on structural parameters and topography of the grating groove. In this paper, high diffraction efficiency silicon-blazed grating working at 800-2500 nm has been designed and fabricated. By diffraction theory analysis and simulation optimization based on the accurate boundary integral equation method, the blaze angle and grating constant are determined to be 8.

Asymmetric Cell Division and Tumor Heterogeneity.

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) gives rise to two daughter cells with different fates after mitosis and is a fundamental process for generating cell diversity and for the maintenance of the stem cell population. The cancer stem cell (CSC) theory suggests that CSCs with dysregulated self-renewal and asymmetric cell division serve as a source of intra-tumoral heterogeneity. This heterogeneity complicates the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, because CSCs can give rise to aggressive clones that are metastatic and insensitive to multiple drugs, or to dormant tumor cells that are difficult to detect.
