    Abstract: Representative pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli ( E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus) are widespread in nature and pose a threat to human health. To control the propagation of these pathogens from the source, the key is to design broad-spectrum antibacterial materials to reduce the serious damage of pathogenic bacteria. At present, more and more nanoparticles are widely researched and applied due to their multi-pathway antibacterial properties, such as regulating physiology, biochemistry and physical chemistry. In this work, we synthesized a uniformly dispersed and stable spherical nanoparticle (TiO 2 @V 2 O 5 ) synthesized by self-assembly of tianium dioxide and vanadium pentoxide. Based on its excellent photosensitive properties, TiO 2 @V 2 O 5 nanoparticles have showed excellent antibacterial properties under the light irradiation due to the production of hydroxyl radicals in antibacterial and mechanism tests. In addtion, related cell and plant experiments have showed that TiO 2 @V 2 O 5 nanoparticles are excellent biocompatible materials, it could be widely used in environmental pollution control, limiting the serious damage caused by pathogens.

    Abstract: To investigate the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their risk of developing brain metastases after adjusting for confounding factors. Methods A retrospective observational study of the general data of patients with NSCLC diagnosed from January 2016 to December 2020. Multivariate logistic regression was used to calculate the dominance ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for NLR and NSCLC brain metastases with subgroup analysis. Generalized summation models and smoothed curve fitting were used to identify whether there was a nonlinear relationship between them. Results In all 3 models, NLR levels were positively correlated with NSCLC brain metastasis (model 1: OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.01-1.23, P = .025; model 2: OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.04-1.29, P = .007; model 3: OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.05-1.37, P = .006). Stratified analysis showed that this positive correlation was present in patients with adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and female patients (LUAD: OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.10-1.54, P = .002; female: OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.05-2.20, P = .026), while there was no significant correlation in patients with squamous carcinoma (LUSC) and male patients (LUSC: OR:0.76,95% CI:0.38- 1.53, P = .443; male: OR:1.13, 95% CI:0.95-1.33, P = .159). Conclusion This study showed that elevated levels of NLR were independently associated with an increased risk of developing brain metastases in patients with NSCLC, and that this correlation varied by TYPE and SEX, with a significant correlation in female patients and patients with LUAD.

    Abstract: Focus on immune-related gene pairs (IRGPs) and develop a prognostic model to predict the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods First, the LUAD patient dataset was downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and paired analysis of immune-related genes was subsequently conducted. Then, LASSO regression was used to screen prognostic IRGPs for building a risk prediction model. Meanwhile, the Gene Expression Omnibus database was used for external validation of the model. Next, the clinical predictive power of IRGPs features was assessed by uni-multivariate Cox regression analysis, the infiltration of key immune cells in high and low IRGPs risk groups was analyzed with CIBERSORT, quanTIseq, and Timer, and the key pathways enriched for IRGPs were assessed using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. Finally, the expression and related functions of key immune cells and genes were verified by immunofluorescence and cell experiments of tissue samples. Results It was revealed that the risk score of 19 IRGPs could be used as accurate indicators to evaluate the prognosis of LUAD patients, and the risk score was mainly related to T cell infiltration based on CIBERSORT analysis. Two genes of IRGPs, IL6, and CCL2, were found to be closely associated with the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 and the function of T-cells. Depending on the results of tissue immunofluorescence, IL6, CCL2, and T cells were highly expressed in the LUAD tissues of patients. Furthermore, IL6 and CCL2 were positively correlated with the expression of T cells. Besides, qRT-PCR assay in four different LUAD cells proved that IL6 and CCL2 were positively correlated with the expression of PD-L1 (P 〈 .001). Conclusions Based on 19 IRGPs, an effective prognosis model was established to predict the prognosis of LUAD patients. In addition, IL6 and CCL2 are closely related to the function of T-cells.

    Abstract: In order to mine the coal seam under super-thick hard roof, improve the utilization rate of resources and prolong the remaining service life of the mine, a case study of the Gaozhuang Coal Mine in the Zaozhuang Mining Area has been performed in this paper. Based on the specific mining geological conditions of ultra-close coal seams (#3 up and #3 low coal seams), their joint systematic analysis has been performed, with the focus made in the following three aspects: (i) prevention of rock burst under super-thick hard roof, (ii) deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in the lower coal seam, and (iii) fire prevention in the goaf of working face. Given the strong bursting tendency observed in upper coal seam and lower coal seam, the technology of preventing rock burst under super-thick hard roof was proposed, which involved setting of narrow section coal pillars to protect roadways and interleaving layout of working faces. The specific supporting scheme of surrounding rock of roadways in the #3 low 1101 working face was determined, and the grouting reinforcement method of local fractured zones through Marithan was further proposed, to ensure the deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in lower coal seams. The proposed fire prevention technology envisaged goaf grouting and spraying to plug leaks, which reduced the hazard of spontaneous combustion of residual coals in mined ultra-close coal seams. The technical and economic improvements with a direct economic benefit of 5.55 million yuan were achieved by the application of the proposed comprehensive technical support. The research results obtained provide a theoretical guidance and technical support of safe mining strategies of close coal seams in other mining areas.

    Abstract: This article presents an application of a Sigmoid-plane (S-plane) adaptive control algorithm to an automatic steering system in the presence of uncertain parametric of the unmanned surface vessel (USV) and the unknown disturbance of the marine environment. Due to technical difficulties such as sensor noise, the marine environment disturbance is assumed to be unmeasured. To overcome this problem, an S-plane control is designed to resist marine environment disturbances by the improved adaptive term. Based on the gradient method, the USV heading model reference adaptive controller of the USV is designed, so that the USV has a certain ability to resist model parameter changes. Considering the uncertainty of marine environment interference, a model-reference-based S-plane adaptive controller for the USV is designed. After the reference of the USV course model, the S-plane adaptive control approach is employed to reduce the effect of the marine environment. It is proved that the USV course control system is stable, despite the adverse bad sea conditions. Finally, the course control simulation experiment for the USV with the unknown marine environmental interference is carried out. To demonstrate the benefits of the S-plane adaptive controller, the results are presented in comparison with a Lyapunov method controller. The results show that the S-plane adaptive controller is robust to the changed model parameter and external disturbances.

    Abstract: The effect of exercise intervention on balance capacity among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients has not been evaluated. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the effect of exercise intervention on balance capacity among T2DM patients compared to the control group (usual care, waitlist, no-treatment, education). We conducted a comprehensive literature search through PubMed, EMBASE, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane library, Web of Science (WOS) from inception to August 2020. The literature language was limited to English. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-experimental (Q-E) trials that examined the effect of exercise intervention on balance capacity among T2DM patients were included. We used the standard methods of meta-analysis to evaluate the outcomes of exercise intervention for balance capacity of T2DM patients. A total of 14 trials (11 RCTs and 3 Q-E trials) involving 883 participants were eligible. The meta-analysis of some studies demonstrated that exercise intervention could significantly improve Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (MD = 2.56; 95%CI [0.35, 4.77]; P = .02), SLST (Single Leg Stance Test) under the eyes-open (EO) condition (MD = 3.63; 95%CI [1.79, 5.47] ; P = .0001) and eyes-close (EC) condition (MD = 0.41; 95%CI [0.10, 0.72]; P = .01) compared to control group. There was no significant difference in Time Up and Go Test (TUGT) (MD = −0.75; 95%CI [−1.69, 0.19] ; P = .12) and fall efficacy (SMD = −0.44; 95%CI [−0.86, −0.01]; P = .05). Narrative review of some studies indicated that exercise intervention could improve postural stability measured by Sensory Organization Test (SOT) and Center of Pressure (COP) variables, etc. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarized that exercise intervention could improve balance capacity in T2DM patients. However, further studies with high quality are required to evaluate its effect.

    Abstract: Humidity sensors can be used to monitor body sweat. Here, we studied a humidity sensor that comprised of a graphene layer between two electrodes. The operating principle is that the humidity sensor will respond when vapor reaches the graphene layer from the top. Based on the humidity diffusion, the sensor measures the relative humidity (RH) with different response times. Graphene is a material with high diffusivity and small thickness that can increase the sensitivity of a sensor. Based on the micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) method, we modeled the humidity sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics ® transport of diluted species software. Additionally, we used the concentration values from the simulations to determine the relationship between capacitance and relative humidity. The sensitivity was found to be 3.379 × 10 −11 pF/%RH for the 4-layer graphene, 1.210 × 10 −14 pF/%RH for the 8-layer graphene, and 3.597 × 10 −11 pF/%RH for the 16-layer graphene sensor. The sensitivity of 4-layer graphene with gold sensor is 3.872 × 10 −13 pF/%RH which is smaller than 4-layer graphene sensor, and graphene with gold nanoparticles shows better response time than 4-layer graphene sensor.

    Abstract: To determine the association between serum visfatin levels and psoriasis and to evaluate the correlation between serum visfatin levels and the severity of psoriasis. Methods The electronic databases PubMed®, Embase® and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles published from inception to 1 May 2020. Data were extracted and then standard mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for pooled estimates. Results A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included (448 patients diagnosed with psoriasis and 377 controls). This meta-analysis demonstrated that patients with psoriasis had significantly higher levels of visfatin than the controls (SMD = 0.90, 95% CI 0.52, 1.28). Subgroup analyses showed that differences in serum visfatin levels between the patient group and the control group were associated with ethnicity, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and body mass index. Additionally, a meta-analysis of correlations showed that visfatin levels in patients with psoriasis were positively correlated with PASI ( r = 0.51, 95% CI 0.14, 0.75). Conclusions This meta-analysis showed that serum visfatin levels in patients with psoriasis were significantly higher than those in the controls and a positive correlation between serum visfatin levels and psoriasis severity was observed.

    Abstract: To determine the populations who suitable for surgical treatment in elderly patients (age ≥ 75 y) with IA stage. Methods The clinical data of NSCLC patients diagnosed from 2010 to 2015 were collected from the SEER database and divided into surgery group (SG) and no-surgery groups (NSG). The confounders were balanced and differences in survival were compared between groups using PSM (Propensity score matching, PSM). Cox regression analysis was used to screen the independent factors that affect the Cancer-specific survival (CSS). The surgery group was defined as the patients who surgery-benefit and surgery-no benefit according to the median CSS of the no-surgery group, and then randomly divided into training and validation groups. A surgical benefit prediction model was constructed in the training and validation group. Finally, the model is evaluated using a variety of methods. Results A total of 7297 patients were included. Before PSM (SG: n = 3630; NSG: n = 3665) and after PSM (SG: n = 1725, NSG: n = 1725) confirmed that the CSS of the surgery group was longer than the no-surgery group (before PSM: 82 vs. 31 months, P 〈 .0001; after PSM: 55 vs. 39 months, P 〈 .0001). Independent prognostic factors included age, gender, race, marrital, tumor grade, histology, and surgery. In the surgery cohort after PSM, 1005 patients (58.27%) who survived for more than 39 months were defined as surgery beneficiaries, and the 720 patients (41.73%) were defined surgery-no beneficiaries. The surgery group was divided into training group 1207 (70%) and validation group 518 (30%). Independent prognostic factors were used to construct a prediction model. In training group (AUC = .678) and validation group (AUC = .622). Calibration curve and decision curve prove that the model has better performance. Conclusions This predictive model can well identify elderly patients with stage IA NSCLC who would benefit from surgery, thus providing a basis for clinical treatment decisions.

    Abstract: To develop and validate a generalized prediction model that can classify epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in non–small cell lung cancer patients. Methods A total of 346 patients (296 in the training cohort and 50 in the validation cohort) from four centers were included in this retrospective study. First, 1085 features were extracted using IBEX from the computed tomography images. The features were screened using the intraclass correlation coefficient, hypothesis tests and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. Logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM) were used to build a radiomics model for classification. The models were evaluated using the following metrics: area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve (CAL), decision curve analysis (DCA), concordance index (C-index), and Brier score. Results Sixteen features were selected, and models were built using LR, DT, RF, and SVM. In the training cohort, the AUCs was .723, .842, .995, and .883; In the validation cohort, the AUCs were .658, 0567, .88, and .765. RF model with the best AUC, its CAL, C-index (training cohort=.998; validation cohort=.883), and Brier score (training cohort=.007; validation cohort=0.137) showed a satisfactory predictive accuracy; DCA indicated that the RF model has better clinical application value. Conclusion Machine learning models based on computed tomography images can be used to evaluate EGFR status in patients with non–small cell lung cancer, and the RF model outperformed LR, DT, and SVM.
