Using the data of ambient aerosols observed in Nanjing Area in August and September,2008.The concentration,Diurnal variations,spectrum distribution characteristics of Aerosols and the relationship of aerosol particles number concentration with precipitation were analyzed in this paper. The results indicated that the daily average concentration of ambient aerosol in northern suburb of Nanjing was much higher than in Purple Mountain of Nanjing,which were about 2.6 times higher than Purple Mountain,and its quantitative of the aerosols was reached to 106 was more than two quantitative in Purple Mountain;the aerosol spectrum in northern suburb of Nanjing showed a single peak distribution,but a double peak in Purple Mountain,the peak of the aerosol spectrum were both in Aitken mode;The mainly distribution of surface concentration was under the Accumulation mode,and the mass concentration was distributed in the Accumulation and Coarse mode;the number concentration of aerosols in the observation area showed a significant diurnal variation,And the concentration of ambient aerosol reached the maximum in the morning of the day. In the northern suburb of Nanjing,the concentration of ambient aerosol reached the maximum in the afternoon,Human production activities made a greater impact on the change of the concentration of ambient aerosol;the number concentration of aerosols was negatively correlated to the precipitation intensity,the precipitation process on the wiping off action to the particle was obvious,especially to the particle size range of 0.02μm～0.1μm.
To analyze the effect of different hepatic vascular exclusions for massive hemorrhage in hepatectomy.The clinical data of 2238 cases with hepatectomy treated from January 1995 to August 2009 was analyzed retrospectively in the cause of massive hemorrhage (blood loss ≥ 1000 ml), blood loss during liver resection and massive hemorrhage incidence with different methods of hepatic vascular exclusion.Among 2238 cases received hepatectomy, 215 cases (9.6%) had massive hemorrhage because of portal vein tumor thrombus extraction (26.0%), extensive adhesions around the tumor (24.7%), section of liver hemorrhage (23.7%), hepatic vascular injury (15.8%), and tumor rupture (9.8%). Among 2182 cases received hepatectomy without portal vein tumor thrombus extraction, 159 cases (7.3%) had massive hemorrhage, 1257 cases (57.6%) which blood loss were less than 400 ml. Hepatectomy with different hepatic vascular exclusion methods had different blood loss and massive hemorrhage incidence.Pringle combined with clamping infrahepatic vena cava method and the liver double-hanging maneuver through the retrohepatic avascular tunnel on the right of the inferior vena cava method can reduce blood loss and massive hemorrhage incidence in hepatectomy more effectively, especially for huge liver tumor resection.
Plagiarism in software code and hardware design threatens the open-source movement and the software and hardware industries. It is essential to differentiate between the unethical act of plagiarism and the legitimate use of open-source resources. Existing copyright protection measures, such as license design, inadequately address copyright ownership and protection issues. Furthermore, they fail to detect plagiarism methods for open-source hardware projects, such as circuit location modification. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a blockchain-based copyright management scheme, which introduces a general originality detection model based on community detection, extracting adjustable granularity digests from code and design files. These digests are stored on a peer-to-peer blockchain, enabling nodes to verify the originality via smart contracts. Additionally, the scheme improves the storage structure, protecting the rights of authors and contributors. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and runtime efficiency of the proposed model in extracting digests for blockchain storage while maintaining verification accuracy. The scheme offers enhanced generality, practical performance, and suitability for distributed development and maintenance, with considerable implications for evidence gathering, fostering innovation and integrity.
Abstract Background Retinoic acid-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA) has been reported to be suppressed in autistic patients and is associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), although the potential role and mechanism of RORA on gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in ASD patients is still not reported. In this study, we aim to investigate the contribution of RORA to GI symptoms through a maternal diabetes-mediated autism-like mouse model. Results Male offspring of diabetic dams were treated with either superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic MnTBAP or RORA agonist SR1078, or were crossbred with intestine epithelial cells (IEC)-specific RORA knockout (RORA −/− ) mouse. Gene expression, oxidative stress and inflammation were measured in brain tissues, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and IEC, and GI symptoms were evaluated. Our results showed that SOD mimetic MnTBAP completely, while RORA agonist SR1078 partly, reversed maternal diabetes-mediated oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain, PBMC and IEC, as well as GI symptoms, including intestine permeability and altered gut microbiota compositions. IEC-specific RORA deficiency either mimicked or worsened maternal diabetes-mediated GI symptoms as well as oxidative stress and inflammation in IEC, while there was little effect on maternal diabetes-mediated autism-like behaviors. Conclusions We conclude that RORA suppression contributes to maternal diabetes-mediated GI symptoms in autism-like mouse offspring, this study provides a potential therapeutical target for maternal diabetes-mediated GI symptoms in offspring through RORA activation.
Castleman disease (CD) has been reported as a group of poorly understood lymphoproliferative disorders, including unicentric CD (UCD) and idiopathic multicentric CD (iMCD) which are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative and human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) negative. The clinical and independent prognostic factors of CD remain poorly elucidated. We retrospectively collected the clinical information of 428 patients with HIV and HHV-8 negative CD from 12 large medical centers with 15-year follow-up. We analyzed the clinicopathologic features of 428 patients (248 with UCD and 180 with iMCD) with a median age of 41 years. The histology subtypes were hyaline-vascular (HV) histopathology for 215 patients (56.58%) and plasmacytic (PC) histopathology for 165 patients (43.42%). Most patients with UCD underwent surgical excision, whereas the treatment strategies of patients with iMCD were heterogeneous. The outcome for patients with UCD was better than that for patients with iMCD, 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 95% and 74%, respectively. In further analysis, a multivariate analysis using a Cox regression model revealed that PC subtype, hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly, hemoglobin ≤ 80 g/L, and albumin ≤ 30 g/L were independent prognostic factors of CD for OS. The model of iMCD revealed that age > 60 years, hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly, and hemoglobin ≤ 80 g/L were independent risk factors. In UCD, single-factor analysis identified two significant risk factors: hemoglobin ≤ 100 g/L and albumin ≤ 30 g/L. Our study emphasizes the distinction of clinical characteristics between UCD and iMCD. The importance of poor risk factors of different clinical classifications may direct more precise and appropriate treatment strategies.
To evaluate the effect of serum/cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ratio of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in detecting brain metastases of gestational trophoblast tumor and the significance of prophylactic intrathecal therapy.Clinical information of 44 patients with brain metastases (stage IV) and 29 patients with lung metastases (stage III) of gestational trophoblast tumor who were admitted to our hospital between 1986 to 2001 were retrospectively analyzed by case control study. The variability of the ratio and the relationship between brain metastases was investigated, together with the effect of prophylactic intrathecal therapy.Serum/CSF hCG ratio in patients with brain metastases declined with time. The ratio before chemotherapy was in relevant with the size of the lesion which were less than 60 in advanced stages and more than 60 in early stages. Patients of stage III with prophylactic intrathecal therapy did not progress to stage IV.Serum/CSF hCG ratio before chemotherapy could reflect the encephalic tumor load which had reference value in diagnosis and prognosis and prophylactic intrathecal therapy played an important role in preventing brain metastasis.
OBJECTIVE To study the association of serum levels of trace elements with core symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS From September 2018 to September 2019, an investigation was performed for 1 020 children with ASD and 1 038 healthy children matched for age and sex in the outpatient service of grade A tertiary hospitals and special education institutions in 13 cities of China. Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) were used to assess the core symptoms of the children with ASD. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to measure serum levels of trace elements magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc. RESULTS The children with ASD had significantly lower serum levels of magnesium, copper, and zinc than the healthy children (P < 0.05). The children with severe ASD had significantly lower serum levels of magnesium and zinc than those with mild-to-moderate ASD (P < 0.05). The results of partial correlation analysis showed that serum magnesium level was negatively correlated with the total score of ABC and the score of communication (r=-0.318 and -0.282 respectively; P 0.001), and serum zinc level was negatively correlated with the total score of ABC and the scores of communication and somatic movement (r=-0.221, -0.270, and -0.207 respectively; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The serum levels of magnesium and zinc may be associated with core symptoms in children with ASD, which requires further studies. The nutritional status of trace elements should be monitored for children with ASD in clinical practice.
