It is important to explore the development path of urban low-carbon economies and formulate climate control policies to analyze the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of land use carbon emissions and their influencing factors by accounting for carbon emissions from different land use types. Our study measured the carbon emissions of different land-use types in Hunan Province in 2010 and 2019. We used the OLS model to determine the influencing factors of land use carbon emissions based on the framework for land use carbon emissions using land use and cover and statistical data.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents formidable therapeutic challenges due to its pronounced metabolic heterogeneity, particularly arising from spatially uneven glucose availability within the tumor microenvironment (TME). To address this, we developed a glutathione (GSH)-responsive, biomimetic hybrid nanoenzyme system (M@GOx/Fe-HMON) composed of hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles co-loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and Fe/Fe redox pairs, and cloaked in homologous tumor cell membranes for enhanced targeting. In glucose-rich regions, the nanoenzyme orchestrates a GOx-peroxidase (POD) cascade that produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) via the Fenton reaction, leading to ferroptosis through intensified oxidative stress and GSH depletion.

Background: Acute drug-induced dystonia (DID) is an extrapyramidal side effect triggered by certain medications, primarily antipsychotics. It presents as acute involuntary muscle contractions, causing twisting, repetitive movements, or abnormal postures. Pyramidal signs, typically from upper motor neuron damage, are characterized by positive pathological reflexes, increased muscle tone, and hyperactive tendon reflexes.

Sleep and circadian characteristics are associated with health outcomes, but are often examined cross-sectionally or using variable-centred analyses. Person-centred longitudinal research is needed to identify combined effects of sleep and circadian characteristics while allowing for change over time. We aimed to classify individuals into sleep-circadian statuses (aim 1), determine whether they transitioned between statuses over time (aim 2), and explore associated covariates and health outcomes (aim 3).

Extracorporeal liver surgery (ELS), also known as liver autotransplantation, is a hybrid (cross-fertilized) surgery incorporating the technical knowledge from extreme liver and transplant liver surgeries, and recently became more embraced and popularized among leading centers. ELS could be summarized into three major categories, namely, ex-situ liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA), ante-situm liver resection and autotransplantation (ALRA) and auxiliary partial liver autotransplantation (APLA). The successful development of ELS during the past 37 years is definitely inseparable from continuous efforts done by Chinese surgeons and researchers.

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is an approach to collect self-reported data repeatedly on mobile devices in natural settings. EMAs allow for temporally dense, ecologically valid data collection, but frequent interruptions with lengthy surveys on mobile devices can burden users, impacting compliance and data quality. We propose a method that reduces the length of each EMA question set measuring interrelated constructs, with only modest information loss.

This study utilized semiconductor processing techniques to fabricate patterned silicon (Si) substrates with arrays of inverted pyramid-shaped micro-pits by etching. Molybdenum trioxide (MoO) was then deposited on these patterned Si substrates using a thermal evaporation system, followed by two-stage sulfurization in a high-temperature furnace to grow MoS thin films consisting of only a few atomic layers. During the dropwise titration of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) solution, a longitudinal electric field was applied using a Keithley 2400 (Cleveland, OH, USA) source meter.

Background: The present study examined facets of impulsivity and reward sensitivity [as measured by the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale and Behavioral Activation and Behavioral Inhibition Scales (BIS/BAS)] as multivariable predictors of subsequent binge-eating disorder (BED) course of illness in middle childhood.

Methods: The current sample included children aged 9-10 years (N = 9,438) who took part in the baseline and 1-year follow-up assessments of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study. BED course was operationalized as those who never developed BED or subthreshold BED (SBED) ('control'), were diagnosed with BED/SBED at year 1 but not baseline ('developers'), were diagnosed with BED/SBED at baseline but not year 1 ('remitters'), or were diagnosed with BED/SBED at both times ('maintainers').
