Isolation and Characterization of Laccase from Tasjk65.

Laccase catalyzes one-electron oxidation, producing water as the primary final product, thereby minimizing secondary environmental pollution. Consequently, it holds significant application potential in areas such as the degradation of toxic compounds. In this study, a high-laccase-producing strain was isolated from soil, and the conditions for laccase production were optimized.

Upconversion-Based Photodynamic Therapy for Psoriatic Dermatitis.

Psoriasis, with a global incidence rate of 2%-3%, afflicts patients with persistent erythema and scales and is often accompanied by comorbidities such as arthritis and depression, significantly impairing their quality of life. While emerging biologics and traditional medications as well as phototherapy have made certain progress in treating psoriasis, these therapies are hindered by significant drawbacks including high costs, suboptimal efficacy, and significant side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has great potential for psoriasis treatment, but its application is limited due to the weak penetration of short-wavelength light used for active photosensitizer (PS).

Revolutionizing Health Care: The Transformative Impact of Large Language Models in Medicine.

Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly advancing medical artificial intelligence, offering revolutionary changes in health care. These models excel in natural language processing (NLP), enhancing clinical support, diagnosis, treatment, and medical research. Breakthroughs, like GPT-4 and BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformer), demonstrate LLMs' evolution through improved computing power and data.

Comparing oxygen therapies for hypoxemia prevention during gastrointestinal endoscopy under procedural sedation: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Study Objective: Hypoxemia is the most frequent adverse event observed during gastrointestinal endoscopy under procedural sedation. An optimum oxygen therapy has still not been conclusively determined.

Design: A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Heparin-free veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in lung transplantation: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: In lung transplantation (LTx) surgery, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) can provide mechanical circulatory support to patients with cardiopulmonary failure. However, the use of heparin in the administration of ECMO can increase blood loss during LTx. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of heparin-free V-A ECMO strategies.

Bi-DexHands: Towards Human-Level Bimanual Dexterous Manipulation.

Achieving human-level dexterity in robotics remains a critical open problem. Even simple dexterous manipulation tasks pose significant difficulties due to the high number of degrees of freedom and the need for cooperation among heterogeneous agents (e.g.

Object Detection of Flexible Objects with Arbitrary Orientation Based on Rotation-Adaptive YOLOv5.

It is challenging to accurately detect flexible objects with arbitrary orientation from monitoring images in power grid maintenance and inspection sites. This is because these images exhibit a significant imbalance between the foreground and background, which can lead to low detection accuracy when using a horizontal bounding box (HBB) as the detector in general object detection algorithms. Existing multi-oriented detection algorithms that use irregular polygons as the detector can improve accuracy to some extent, but their accuracy is limited due to boundary problems during the training process.

Dietary Zinc Intake Affects the Association Between Dietary Vitamin A and Depression: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Dietary vitamin A concentrations correlate with depression. Zinc has been reported to be associated with lower depression. In addition, zinc is an important cofactor in the activation of vitamin A.
