Article Abstract

The flavor of base liquor is critical to the grading quality of Baijiu. This study focuses on the base liquor grades of five different strong-flavor Baijiu brands. Headspace Solid-phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography Time-of-flight Mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-TOF/MS) and Headspace Gas Chromatography Ion Mobility Spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) identified 313 and 188 compounds respectively. 12 compounds correlated with quality grade (|ρ| > 0.5), including ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, ethyl isopentanoate, ethyl propanoate. Distinct compounds significantly related to the quality grades were identified. A fused dataset was combined with eight supervised machine learning. Random Forest (RF) and Logistic Regression (LR) performed excellently, achieving accuracy rates of 0.913 and 0.8696, F1 scores of 0.9167 and 0.8681, respectively, with strong validation results in Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and confusion matrices. This study demonstrates that combining aroma profile with machine learning enables accurate and objective grading of strong-flavor Baijiu, offering a robust tool for quality control in the industry.

Food spoilage poses a global challenge with far-reaching consequences for public health, economic stability, and environmental sustainability. Conventional analytical methods for spoilage detection though accurate are often cost-prohibitive, labor-intensive, and unsuitable for real-time or field-based monitoring. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have emerged as a transformative technology offering rapid, portable, and cost-effective solutions for food quality assessment.

Background: Youth mental health issues have been recognized as a pressing crisis in the United States in recent years. Effective, evidence-based mental health research and interventions require access to integrated datasets that consolidate diverse and fragmented data sources. However, researchers face challenges due to the lack of centralized, publicly available datasets, limiting the potential for comprehensive analysis and data-driven decision-making.

Background: Primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses significant clinical challenges due to late-stage diagnosis, tumor heterogeneity, and rapidly evolving therapeutic strategies. While systematic reviews and meta-analyses are essential for updating clinical guidelines, their labor-intensive nature limits timely evidence synthesis.

Objective: This study proposes an automated literature screening workflow powered by large language models (LLMs) to accelerate evidence synthesis for HCC treatment guidelines.

Purpose: Lymphocytes play critical roles in cancer immunity and tumor surveillance. Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is a common side effect observed in patients with cancer undergoing chemoradiation therapy (CRT), leading to impaired immunity and worse clinical outcomes. Although proton beam therapy (PBT) has been suggested to reduce RIL risk compared with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), this study used Bayesian counterfactual machine learning to identify distinct patient profiles and inform personalized radiation modality choice.

Distinct prelimbic cortex ensembles encode response execution and inhibition.

Learning when to initiate or withhold actions is essential for survival, requiring the integration of past experiences with new information to adapt to changing environments. The prelimbic cortex (PL) plays a central role in this process, with a stable PL neuronal population (ensemble) recruited during operant reward learning to encode response execution. However, it is unknown how this established reward-learning ensemble adapts to changing reward contingencies, such as reward omission during extinction.
