Evolving role of the internet in China as a medium for promoting psychological well-being and mental health: a scoping review.

The rapid development of China's 5G 'Internet Plus' industry has led to increasing use of the Internet to provide healthcare services. Internet-based services in China are already widely used to prevent, identify, monitor, and manage mental disorders, but few of these services have been formally evaluated. To provide a clear baseline of this rapidly evolving field, we searched articles published before December 31, 2022, about internet-based interventions and surveys for mental health-related conditions in China in five international databases (Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and Cochrane Library) and four Chinese databases (CNKI, SinoMed, VIP, and WanFang).

This study aimed to identify and characterize PM resistance genes in Chinese wild grapevine (Vitis quinquangularis).

Dynamic spatio-temporal pruning for efficient spiking neural networks.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs), which draw from biological neuron models, have the potential to improve the computational efficiency of artificial neural networks (ANNs) due to their event-driven nature and sparse data flow. SNNs rely on dynamical sparsity, in that neurons are trained to activate sparsely to minimize data communication. This is critical when accounting for hardware given the bandwidth limitations between memory and processor.

Dual-band achromatic wavefront control of spintronic terahertz via cascaded metasurfaces.

In the past decades, terahertz (THz) technology has made significant progress. However, multifunctional THz devices are still lacking, particularly low-cost and convenient ones. In this paper, we combine a multifunctional metasurface with the unique forward and backward emission characteristics of THz waves from a thin spintronic THz emitter (STEs), carefully designing two types of dual-band achromatic metasurfaces (DBAMs).

Cu single sites on BO as thyroid peroxidase mimicking for iodotyrosine coupling and pharmaceutical assess.

Designing three-dimensional (3D) catalytic sites in single-atom catalysts (SACs) that mimic thyroid peroxidase (TPO) function for achieving iodotyrosine coupling, although highly desirable for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, poses a great challenge. Herein, we design and synthesize a class of SACs with 3D catalytic centers composed of Cu-N as catalytic sites and BO as binding sites (BO/CuNC) for mimicking TPO in activating HO to facilitate tyrosine iodination and conjugation for producing thyroid hormones. We demonstrate that the as-prepared BO/CuNC not only provides binding sites for HO through hydrogen bond interactions but also possesses catalytic sites to promote an alternative O-O heterolysis process.

3D Ising Superconductivity in As-Grown Sn Intercalated TaSe Crystal.

2D Ising superconductivity emerges in noncentrosymmetric 2D materials, differing from conventional 2D/3D superconductivity. Here, we report the synthesis of a new polymorph of intercalated layered materials, where two layers of Sn are intercalated in between every two layers of TaSe (2Sn-2TaSe), in contrast to the commonly observed single-layer intercalation. Remarkably, the as-grown 2Sn-2TaSe single crystals possess a high quality of crystallinity and showcase 3D Ising superconductivity.

VqERF1B-VqERF062-VqNSTS2 transcriptional cascade enhances stilbene biosynthesis and resistance to powdery mildew in grapevine.

Robotic Fast Patch Clamp in Brain Slices Based on Stepwise Micropipette Navigation and Gigaseal Formation Control.

The patch clamp technique has become the gold standard for neuron electrophysiology research in brain science. Brain slices have been widely utilized as the targets of the patch clamp technique due to their higher optical transparency compared to a live brain and their intercellular connectivity in comparison to cultured single neurons. However, the narrow working space, small scope, and depth of the field of view make the positioning of the operation's micropipette to the target neuron a time-consuming task reliant on a high level of experience, significantly slowing down operation of the patch clamp technique in brain slices.

Swords and shields: the war between Liberibacter asiaticus and citrus.

Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) represents a significant threat to the citrus industry, mainly caused by the phloem-limited bacterium Liberibacter asiaticus (Las). In this review, we summarize recent advances in understanding the relationship between citrus and Las, particularly examining the functions of Sec-dependent effectors (SDEs) and non-classically secreted proteins (ncSPs) in virulence, as well as their targeted interactions with citrus. We further investigate the impact of SDEs on various physiological processes, including systemic acquired resistance (SAR), reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, vesicle trafficking, callose deposition, cell death, autophagy, chlorosis and flowering.
