Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of mechanical cleaning with sterile urethral catheters to prevent formation of biofilms on endotracheal tubes. Methods: Forty-five children were randomized in equal numbers to endotracheal tube cleaning group for three times a day (group A), twice daily (group B), or to a control group with no endotracheal tube cleaning (group C). Bacterial studies and confocal laser scanning microscopy were performed to assess bacterial colonization and biofilm thickness on the internal surface of the endotracheal tube. Results: In group B, the quantities of viable bacteria adhering to the endotracheal tube after 1 day of ventilation were similar to the control group but were significantly less by 3 days (p < 0.05). The quantities of viable bacteria adhering to the endotracheal tube in group A were significantly lower than group C from day 1 to day 7 (p < 0.05). The numbers of culture-positive endotracheal tube and lower respiratory tract secretions were both reduced in groups A and B compared with group C. Confocal laser scanning microscopy showed progressive development of mature biofilms in group C. Scattered bacteria were seen in group A with no biofilm formation. In group B, a small amount of extracellular polymeric substance was seen, with more bacterial cells than in group A. The biofilms in group B were significantly thinner than those in group C (p < 0.05). The occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia was significantly reduced by endotracheal tube cleaning. Conclusion: Mechanical cleaning with sterile urethral catheters reduced bacterial colonization, prevented formation of endotracheal tube biofilm, and reduced the occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Summary: This paper introduces a new learning paradigm called FsPML, which aims to induce a noise-robust multi-label classifier with limited PML samples related to the target task. To address this problem, a method named FsPML-PR is proposed, which performs positive/negative prototype rectification and disambiguating labels using samples features and label correlations in the embedding space.

Research on Intelligent Formation Operation Performance of Straddle- Type Rapid Transit Vehicles in Heterogeneous Operating Environment

Zixue DU, Haoxin Wu, Zhen Yang, Xiaoxia Wen

Summary: This paper presents an intelligent formation operation mode (IFOM) based on straddle-type rapid transit vehicles. The operation mode of the vehicle in the straddle-type rapid transit system is defined in the control system architecture. An evaluation index system for formation vehicles is proposed considering the operating environment. A formation vehicle operation controller is built based on the vehicle longitudinal dynamics model and the artificial potential field formation algorithm. A multi-rigid body dynamics simulation model of formation vehicles in a heterogeneous operating environment is established. The operating performance of formation vehicles in a heterogeneous operating environment is analyzed.

Developmental origins of diabetes mellitus: Environmental epigenomics and emerging patterns

Hong Zhu, Guolian Ding, Xinmei Liu, Hefeng Huang

Summary: Mounting evidence suggests that early life environmental exposures contribute to diabetes susceptibility in later life and can be transmitted to subsequent generations. Epigenetic modifications, such as metastable epialleles and imprinting genes, play a potential role in mediating the effects of environmental factors on gene expression and disease phenotypes. This review highlights the link between environmental exposures during critical developmental windows, including gametogenesis, embryogenesis, and postnatal periods, and diabetic susceptibility through epigenetic changes. Although the underlying mechanisms, especially in humans, remain largely unknown, new research methods and animal models offer opportunities for further investigation. This research has implications for understanding the environmental triggers of diabetes and provides new perspectives on diabetes risk.

Upcycling of Spent Tea Leaves and Spent Coffee Grounds into Sustainable 3D-Printing Materials: Natural Plasticization and Low- Energy Fabrication

Ka-Hing Wong, Daniel C. W. Tsang, Iris K. M. Yu, Oi Yee Chan, Qiaozhi Zhang, Lei Wang

Summary: Food processing byproducts such as spent coffee grounds (SCG) and spent tea leaves (STL) can be used to fabricate biomass/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites for 3D printing. The addition of biomass disrupts the PLA structure and reduces tensile strength, but enhances elongation at break. The naturally occurring oil in SCG can improve ductility when added to STL/PLA composites.

A review of signal pathway induced by virulent protein CagA of Helicobacter pylori

Haiqiang Wang, Mei Zhao, Fan Shi, Shudan Zheng, Li Xiong, Lihong Zheng

Summary: Gastric cancer (GC) is a common and highly fatal disease. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, as a major risk factor, has been widely researched. Among the various pathogenic factors of H. pylori, the virulence protein CagA has been extensively studied as the only bacterial-derived oncoprotein. CagA induces dysregulation of multiple cellular pathways in gastric epithelial cells, leading to pathological changes that promote the occurrence of GC. This article focuses on the key signaling pathways activated by CagA in order to provide new strategies for future H. pylori infection and GC treatment.

Summary: Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are essential components of fertilizers for crop production. However, the integration of N and P signaling pathways in plants remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the gene expression profiles and physiological responses of rice (Oryza sativa) to N and P deficiency. We found that N and P shortage significantly inhibited rice growth and nutrient uptake. Through the analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), we identified specific physiological reactions and processes induced by N and Pi deficiency. We also discovered a transcriptional regulatory network between N and P signaling pathways, with a focus on the transcription factor gene NITRATE-INDUCIBLE, GARP-TYPE TRANSCRIPTIONAL REPRESSOR 1 (NIGT1), which plays a role in P homeostasis and N acquisition in rice.

Summary: Using the BESIII detector, a sample of (10.09 +/- 0.04) x 109 J/psi decays is analyzed in the (KSKS0)-K-0 pi(0) invariant mass region below 1.6 GeV/c(2). The analyses show dominant pseudoscalar and axial vector components, with good consistency for other individual components. The mass dependent analysis reveals the presence of two isoscalar resonant states, namely the eta(1405) and eta(1475), in the pseudoscalar component.
