Objective: Urinary dry chemistry and urinary sediment microscopy have gradually become important auxiliary methods for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI). This study aimed to explore the application value of the combination of the two in diagnosing UTI.

Methods: Patients with suspected UTI who were admitted to our hospital from October 2022 to October 2024 were retrospectively collected.

ILF3 mediates lipid metabolism to promote pancreatic cancer development by regulating CPT1A-activated PPARa signaling pathway.

Interleukin enhancer binding factor 3 (ILF3) serves as a coactivator for transcription and has been associated with the growth and spread of tumors, despite its unclear involvement in pancreatic cancer (PC). To elucidate the significance of ILF3 in PC, we examined its expression levels at both the tissue and cellular levels. Additionally, we investigated its biological functions and underlying mechanisms using PANC-1 and MIAPaCa-2 cell lines.

Study of power grid subnet partition based on graph neural network.

With the increasing scale of power systems, their reliability analysis and calculation become more complex and difficult. Community structure, as an important topological characteristic of complex networks, plays a prominent role in power grid research and application. The current methods for community division of power networks are mainly based on the topological characteristics of the network, with less consideration of the power balance of the subnetwork, which requires larger-scale machine-cutting or load-cutting operations when the subnetwork operates independently after the grid is unbundled.

ILF3 inhibits p-AMPK expression to drive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progression.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disease of increasing global prevalence and an important risk factor for the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma, but the pathogenesis is not clear. The aim of this study was to explore the role of ILF3 in NAFLD.

Aim: To investigate the molecular processes through which ILF3 facilitates the advancement of NAFLD by inhibiting the expression of p-AMPK.

Sleep quality in middle-aged and elderly hemodialysis patients: Impact of a structured nursing intervention program.

Background: Poor sleep quality is common among hemodialysis patients and can significantly impact their well-being. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured nursing intervention program in improving sleep quality in middle-aged and elderly hemodialysis patients.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of nursing intervention on sleep quality in hemodialysis patients.

Establishment of a RAA-CRISPR Cas12a based diagnostic method for peste des petits ruminants virus N gene and M gene.

Peste des petis ruminants (PPR) is an acute, highly contagious fatal disease affecting both domestic and wild small ruminants, caused by Morbillivirus caprinae (also known as peste des petis ruminants virus (PPRV)). Herein, a rapid method based on recombinase aided amplification-clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-Cas12a (RAA-CRISPR Cas12a) to detect PPRV was developed. CRISPR RNAs and RAA primers for PPRV-N (nucleocapsid) and PPRV-M (matrix) fragments were designed.

Predicting Braess's paradox of power grids using graph neural networks.

As an increasing number of renewable energy generators are integrated into the electrical grid, the necessity to add new transmission lines to facilitate power transfer and ensure grid stability becomes paramount. However, the addition of new transmission lines to the existing grid topology can lead to the emergence of Braess's paradox or even trigger grid failures. Hence, predicting where to add transmission lines to guarantee stable grid operation is of utmost importance.

LINC00115 promotes gastric cancer partly by the miR-212-5p/ATPAF1 axis.

LncRNAs are known to be key regulators in the initiation and development of diverse cancers. Whether LINC00115 is involved in the regulation of gastric cancer (GC) progression remains unclear. Here, we aimed to show the function of LINC00115 in GC.

CXCL6 promotes the progression of NAFLD through regulation of PPARα.

An increasing number of studies have shown that Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and metabolic syndrome, but its specific pathogenesis remains unclear. By analyzing GEO database, we found CXCL6 was upregulated in liver tissues of patients with NAFLD. We also confirmed with qPCR that CXCL6 is highly expressed in serum of patients with NAFLD.

Tetrandrine (TET) inhibits African swine fever virus entry into cells by blocking the PI3K/Akt pathway.

African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) infection causes an acute and highly contagious disease in swine, resulting in significant economic losses and societal harm worldwide. Currently, there are no effective vaccines or antiviral drugs available for ASFV. Tetrandrine (TET) is extracted from the traditional Chinese herb Stephania tetrandrae, possesses diverse biological functions such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antiviral activities.

Population genetics of , an endangered plant species with extremely small populations in China.

, the largest genus of Theaceae, is well-known for having high economic values. demonstrates large beautiful flowers with some primitive characters, such as multiple large and persistent bracteoles and sepals, was listed as Vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List. In this study, we investigated all possible records of the species, and sampled four natural populations and five cultivated individuals.

Deep Learner System Based on Focal Color Retinal Fundus Images to Assist in Diagnosis.

Retinal diseases are a serious and widespread ophthalmic disease that seriously affects patients' vision and quality of life. With the aging of the population and the change in lifestyle, the incidence rate of retinal diseases has increased year by year. However, traditional diagnostic methods often require experienced doctors to analyze and judge fundus images, which carries the risk of subjectivity and misdiagnosis.

Tracing the Origin of Genotype II African Swine Fever Virus in China by Genomic Epidemiology Analysis.

The pandemic spread of African swine fever (ASF) has caused serious effects on the global pig industry. Virus genome sequencing and genomic epidemiology analysis play an important role in tracking the outbreaks of the disease and tracing the transmission of the virus. Here we obtained the full-length genome sequence of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in the first outbreak of ASF in China on August 3, 2018 and compared it with other published genotype II ASFV genomes including 9 genomes collected in China from September 2018 to October 2020.

Psychological Resilience May Be Related to Students' Responses to Victims of School Bullying: A Cross-Sectional Study of Chinese Grade 3-5 Primary School Students.

Background: School bullying is a major public health problem with a large impact on children's health. There is an increasing number of cases of school bullying reported in China. Studies have shown that the health consequences of different ways of responding to school bullying may be quite different and that psychological resilience is also closely related to aggressive behaviors.

School bullying among Chinese third to fifth grade primary school students in a cross-sectional study: The protective effect of psychological resilience.

School bullying is a major concern for school-aged youth and has great impacts on children's health and well-being, and an increasing number of school bullying cases have been reported in China. Many studies have indicated that psychological resilience may have a well-established association with school bullying. However, only a limited number of studies have explored this association, especially among primary school students.

A Dynamic-Memory Event-Triggered Protocol to Multiarea Power Systems With Semi-Markov Jumping Parameter.

This work deals with the dynamic-memory event-triggered-based load frequency control issue for interconnected multiarea power systems (IMAPSs) associated with random abrupt variations and deception attacks. To facilitate the transient faults, a semi-Markov process is addressed to model the dynamic behavior of IMAPSs. In order to modulate transmission frequency, a novel area-dependent dynamic-memory event-triggered protocol (DMETP) is scheduled by resorting to a set of the historically released packets (HRPs), which ensures better dynamic performance.
