Deep-learning-based model for the inverse design of a reconfigurable multi-tap optical filter.

Integrated and reconfigurable optical filters have been widely used in modern communication and signal processing systems, and the inverse design of them remains an important problem. In this study, we introduce an anti-non-uniqueness deep learning network for the inverse design of a multi-tap reconfigurable optical filter. By employing eight optical switches configuration between cross and bar status, the integrated tunable optical delay line can act as a reconfigurable multi-tap optical filter with at most 256 taps.

Effectiveness of social video platforms in promoting smoking cessation among youth: A content-specific analysis of smoking cessation topic videos on the social platform Bilibili.

Introduction: Smoking cessation is a significant public health issue for young people. Social media provide the public with health knowledge through various types of videos. Bilibili is a trendy social video platform among the young population in China, and the number of smoking cessation videos on this platform is continuously increasing.

How Media Use Influences the Fertility Intentions Among Chinese Women of Reproductive Age: A Perspective of Social Trust.

Background: The low fertility level has become a serious social problem in China. Previous research has argued the significant influence of media use and social trust on fertility intentions, but the interaction between the two variables and how they influence fertility intentions remain further investigation. This study explored the influence mechanism of media use on Chinese women's fertility intentions from the perspective of social trust.

Fusogen-assisted rapid reconstitution of anatomophysiologic continuity of the transected spinal cord.

The GEMINI spinal cord fusion protocol exploits the ability of so-called fusogens, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), to achieve rapid neural restoration of electrical continuity across the ends of a transected spinal cord. Experimental evidence suggests that motor recovery can occur after complete transection of the cervical and dorsal spinal cord in mice and rats following application of PEG. This allows for the possibility of spinal cord "reconstruction" in humans and even the possibility of head transplantation in the future.

Head Transplantation in Mouse Model.

Aims: The mouse model of allo-head and body reconstruction (AHBR) has recently been established to further the clinical development of this strategy for patients who are suffering from mortal bodily trauma or disease, yet whose mind remains healthy. Animal model studies are indispensable for developing such novel surgical practices. The goal of this work was to establish head transplant mouse model, then the next step through the feasible biological model to investigate immune rejection and brain function in next step, thereby promoting the goal of translation of AHBR to the clinic in the future.

Allogeneic head and body reconstruction: mouse model.

Aims: There is still no effective way to save a surviving healthy mind when there is critical organ failure in the body. The next frontier in CTA is allo-head and body reconstruction (AHBR), and just as animal models were key in the development of CTA, they will be crucial in establishing the procedures of AHBR for clinical translation.

Methods And Results: Our approach, pioneered in mice, involves retaining the donor brain stem and transplanting the recipient head.
