Dialogue datasets are essential for advancing natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, many existing datasets lack integrated annotations for personality and emotion, limiting models' ability to effectively capture these aspects and generate personalized, human-like dialogues, which ultimately impact user experience. To address this challenge, we construct bilingual dialogue datasets in Chinese and English, incorporating Big Five personality traits and emotion annotations.

To enhance the dynamic performance and stability of spacecraft attitude measurement, a commonly adopted approach is to integrate a star sensor with an inertial gyroscope. While an integrated sensor system offers benefits in high-precision and high-dynamic scenarios, it also introduces errors in the extrinsic parameters of the camera and gyroscope, directly contributing to increased fixed error in attitude determination. Hence, real-time correction of integrated system parameters becomes crucial for enhancing the accuracy of attitude estimation.

  • ChemR23 signaling is crucial in the inflammatory response during cerebral ischemia, but its specific role in stroke is not well understood.
  • In experiments using a mouse model of permanent ischemic stroke, activation of ChemR23 with agonists like Resolvin E1 or chemerin-9 before the stroke reduced brain injury by inhibiting harmful processes like NLRP3-mediated release of inflammatory cytokines.
  • The findings suggest that enhancing ChemR23 signaling could be a potential therapeutic strategy to mitigate neuronal damage in ischemic stroke.

  • In aging mammals, there's a notable decline in naïve T cells and an increase in memory T cells, largely due to thymic involution, but the exact mechanisms behind these changes are not fully understood.
  • Research involving T-cell-specific Rip1 knockout mice revealed that these mice exhibit accelerated aging signs, such as chronic inflammation and a shorter lifespan, alongside typical age-related changes in T cells.
  • Blocking excessive T cell apoptosis in these Rip1-deficient mice can restore balance to their T cell populations and improve overall health and longevity, highlighting the significance of T cell maintenance for healthy aging.

Because of their poor water-soluble properties and non-specific distribution, most hydrophobic therapeutics had limited benefit for patients with ulcerative colitis. Herein, an in-situ oil-based gel has been developed as a rectal delivery vehicle for these therapeutics. In situ gel-forming oil (BBLG) was composed of soybean phosphatidyl choline (40%, w/w), glyceryl dioleate (50%, w/w), and ethanol (10%, w/w).

Background: Severe hypoglycemia induces brain edema by upregulating aquaporin-4 (AQP4) expression and by degrading tight junctions. Acute severe hypoglycemia induces a proinflammatory environment that may contribute to a disruption in the epithelial barrier by decreasing tight junction protein expression. Interestingly, the altered AQP4 expression has been considered to play a critical role in neuroinflammation during acute brain injury.
