Summary: Epistemic planning combines automated planning with cognitive concepts such as knowledge and belief. Single-agent epistemic planning deals with how an agent moves from its current knowledge state to a desired one. Multi-agent epistemic planning extends this to consider the knowledge states of other agents, including higher-order knowledge. Both types of planning are important in various AI applications and require integrating different sub-areas of AI research. The importance of epistemic planning is reflected in its relevance to mobile service robots, game playing, human-robot interaction, and other areas. Rating: 9 out of 10.

Summary: This study investigates the role of the proximal tubule in regulating the renal response to acid-base disturbances. The findings show that the proximal tubule controls the phenotypic and remodeling responses of the collecting duct to acidosis. Deletion of specific proteins in the proximal tubule leads to spontaneous metabolic acidosis and impairs the collecting duct's ability to respond to acid loading.

Summary: This systematic review examined the etiologies and management strategies of hyperammonemia after lung transplantation. The incidence of hyperammonemia was low but had a high mortality rate. Our institution had a similar incidence rate compared to previous reports, but lower ammonia levels and earlier peaks, likely due to early recognition and prompt treatment.

Summary: Sexual dimorphic variations in renal ammonia metabolism and structure suggest a significant impact of gender on acid-base balance. Testosterone plays a key role in regulating these differences, particularly through androgen receptor activation in the proximal tubule. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and implications of sex differences in renal function for optimal patient care.

Summary: Mood disorders caused by chemotherapy have become more important as cancer patients' survival increases. This study used methotrexate to induce mood disorders in rats and found that treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can alleviate anxiety and depression-like behaviors, increase antioxidant capacity, reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response, and regulate brain chemistry. The findings suggest that NAC treatment could be an effective strategy in revising the treatment for individuals suffering from chemotherapy-induced mood disorders.

Summary: Aggression can have serious consequences, but little is known about its personality and neurological origins in children. This study investigated the relationship between self-esteem, aggression, and brain structure in healthy children, and found that self-esteem was negatively associated with aggression. The study also revealed that increased cortical thickness in certain brain areas may be a potential mechanism linking low self-esteem to aggression in children.

Summary: Food deprivation can lead to neurological dysfunctions, including memory impairment. This study used Aplysia as an animal model to investigate the memory deficits caused by prolonged food deprivation. The results showed that 14 days of food deprivation decreased the level of 5-HT in the hemolymph, which contributed to the lack of sensitization and its cellular correlates. However, exogenous application of 5-HT partially induced sensitization in the food deprived animals.

Summary: The study found that intervention with the dual orexin receptor antagonist suvorexant did not have the expected effects on extinction memory and sleep. Higher percentages of REM sleep were associated with poorer extinction memory recall and stronger fear responses. Additionally, the fear extinction training protocol used in this study did not lead to complete fear extinction.

Summary: In this study, a systematic assessment indicator was developed to objectively evaluate hindlimb motor function recovery in rats after thoracic contusion SCI. By screening CatWalk XT gait parameters and using exploratory factor analysis, 38 suitable parameters for assessing motor function were identified. A reliable Coordinated Function Index (CFI) was proposed based on these parameters and simplified for improved assessment efficacy.
