Abstract

Background: The proliferation and advancement of social networking platforms have facilitated interpersonal connections, yet they also have an impact on our physical and mental health. Previous studies have investigated that fear of missing out (FoMO) is positively related to social networking site (SNS) addiction, but the underlying mechanisms remain inadequately understood.
Purposes: the present study newly introduces the concept of imaginary audience together with the factor of basic psychological needs (BPNs), to explore the mediating role of them between fear of missing out and SNS addiction that rooted in both the basis of Self-Determination Theory and Use and Gratification Theory.
Methods: In the study, Fear of Missing out Scale, Basic Psychology Needs Scale, Imaginary Audience Ideation Scale, and Social Networking Site Intrusion Scale (WeChat version) were used to investigate 1682 college students (Mage = 19.86 years, SD = 1.70) in Fujian, a province of China. The demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, online duration of participates) were controlled as covariates for conservative predictions.
Results: (a) FoMO is positively correlated with SNS addiction; (b) BPNs and imaginary audience play a parallel mediator between FoMO and SNS addiction; (c) BPNs and imaginary audience play a serial mediator between FoMO and SNS addiction.
Conclusion: Current study highlights the importance of BPNs and imaginary audience as mediators of the relationship between FOMO and SNS addiction. Moreover, the current study provides theoretical guidance about the development of intervention programs for social network addiction in future.

Abstract

A real-time stable multi-target tracking method based on the enhanced You Only Look Once-v8 (YOLOv8) and the optimized Simple Online and Realtime Tracking with a Deep association metric (DeepSORT) for real-time stable multi-target tracking (S-YOFEO) is proposed with the aim of addressing the issue of target ID transformation and loss caused by the increase of practical background complexity. For the purpose of further enhancing the representation of small-scale features, a small target detection head is first introduced to the detection layer of YOLOv8 in this paper with the aim of collecting more detailed information by increasing the detection resolution of YOLOv8. Secondly, the Omni-Scale Network (OSNet) feature extraction network is implemented to enable accurate and efficient fusion of the extracted complex and comparable feature information, taking into account the restricted computational power of DeepSORT's original feature extraction network. Again, a novel adaptive forgetting Kalman filter algorithm (FSA) is devised to enhance the precision of model prediction and the effectiveness of parameter updates to adjust to the uncertain movement speed and trajectory of pedestrians in real scenarios. Following that, an accurate and stable association matching process is obtained by substituting Efficient-Intersection over Union (EIOU) for Complete-Intersection over Union (CIOU) in DeepSORT to boost the convergence speed and matching effect during association matching. Last but not least, One-Shot Aggregation (OSA) is presented as the trajectory feature extractor to deal with the various noise interferences in the complex scene. OSA is highly sensitive to information of different scales, and its one-time aggregation property substantially decreases the computational overhead of the model. According to the trial results, S-YOFEO has made some developments as its precision can reach 78.2% and its speed can reach 56.0 frames per second (FPS).

Abstract

The availability of multiple types of GPUs enhances parallel processing capabilities and provides users with a broader spectrum of options in heterogeneous GPU clusters. However, the inherent randomness and uncertainty in GPU type requests introduce complexity into resource allocation, resulting in disparities between requested and allocated GPU types and exacerbating imbalances in the GPU resource distribution. In this study, we perform a comprehensive analysis of the attributes associated with diverse GPU requests and allocations in heterogeneous clusters. By introducing the adaptive selection model (ASM), our approach not only predicts the demand for various GPU types but also extracts critical features from the resource demand. These features play a pivotal role in predicting GPU resource allocation, effectively bridging the gap between request and allocation. Moreover, we introduce spatial and temporal long short-term memory (ST-LSTM), a novel LSTM-based model that accommodates both spatial and temporal correlations in GPU type allocation. Our experimental efforts confirm the effectiveness of our proposed methodology through the utilization of real-world trace data from Alibaba cloud data centres. The ASM achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 87% and illuminates the key factors influencing user GPU type selection. Additionally, the ST-LSTM model demonstrates excellent performance with average RMSE and MAE values of 1.84 and 1.09, respectively.

Abstract

Background:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder prevalent in around 6-8% of women in their reproductive years. The measurement of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) holds particular promise in discerning both the diagnosis and the extent of severity in PCOS cases. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using AMH as a potential tool for identifying and diagnosing the severity of clinical aspects associated with the syndrome.
Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 309 female patients who presented for consultation at our hospital's gynecology outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with PCOS based on the Rotterdam criteria, between January 2018 and March 2022. Data were extracted from the hospital database and systematically assessed. Patients were divided into two groups based on AMH level of 7.5 ng/ml.Clinical symptoms and findings were assessed based on AMH values.
Results:A statistically significant difference was observed between groups for the mean levels of total testosterone, androstenedione, free androgen index, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone (p < 0.05). Additionally, a statistically significant difference was noted between AMH groups and the presence of oligomenorrhea (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Even at the higher end of the spectrum, AMH retains significant value in determining the clinical aspects of PCOS.

Abstract

PINK1/Parkin-mediated ubiquitin-dependent mitophagy is a critical negative regulator for browning in iWAT. However, the precise regulatory mechanism underlying PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy during browning of iWAT remains largely unknown. Here we report that PNPLA7, an ER and mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) protein, inhibits browning of iWAT by promoting PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy upon cold challenge or β3-adrenergic receptor agonist treatment. With genetic manipulation in mice, adipose tissue overexpressing PNPLA7 proteins induces mitophagy, abolishes iWAT browning and interrupts adaptive thermogenesis. In contrast, ablation of PNPLA7 in adipose tissue promotes browning of iWAT, resulting in enhanced adaptive thermogenesis. Mechanistically, PNPLA7 interacts with Parkin to promote mitochondrial recruitment of Parkin for mitophagy activation and mitochondria degradation by disrupting PKA induced phosphorylation of Parkin under cold challenge. Taken together our findings suggest that PNPLA7 is a critical regulator of mitophagy that resist cold induced browning of iWAT, thus providing a direct mechanistic link between mitophagy and browning of iWAT.

Abstract

The high-altitude pre-Andean region of the Atacama Desert, is characterized by its stark volcanic rock formations, hosts unique hydrothermal gypsum outcrops (gypcrete). This study delves into the biomolecular composition of endolithic phototrophic microbes thriving within these gypcretes. Using advanced Raman spectroscopy techniques, including Raman imaging, complemented by microscopic and 3D microscopic observations, we unveil new insights into the adaptive strategies of gypsum-inhabiting algae. Our Raman imaging results provide a detailed chemical map of photoprotective and photosynthetic pigments associated with microbial colonization. This map reveals a significant gradient in pigment composition, highlighting a critical survival mechanism for algae and cyanobacteria in this polyextreme environment. Intriguingly, we detected carotenoid signals not only in the algae-colonized layer but also deeper within the gypsum matrix, indicating pigment migration following cell disruption. In addition, we conducted an in-depth analysis of individual algal cells from the Trebouxiae family, noting their color variations from green to orange and describing the spectral differences in detail. This investigation identified in-vivo pigments (carotenoids, chlorophyll) and lipids at the cellular level, offering a comprehensive view of the molecular adaptations enabling life in one of Earth's most extreme habitats.
Efficacy of brivudine in the treatment of herpes zoster with diabetes and renal insufficiency following resection of left renal carcinoma: a case report
Authors: Zhang Yuren , Li Jie , Ni Qing 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Diabetes and malignant tumors often lead to abnormal immune function, increasing susceptibility to herpes zoster infection and severe post-herpetic neuralgia. Renal insufficiency following renal cell carcinoma surgery can be compounded by nephrotoxic antiviral drugs. A 68-year-old man developed herpes zoster at the surgical site and severe neuralgia after left nephroureterectomy for left kidney clear cell carcinoma, which had resulted in postoperative renal insufficiency. Brivudine therapy suppressed infection, and relieved neuralgia, without affecting renal function. Short-term control of herpes, crust formation, and neuralgia relief were achieved by day 14. Nephrotoxicity should be considered when selecting antiviral drugs for such patients.

Authors: Shadmani Ghazal 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background: Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a rare variant of fibrosarcoma that has been described in fewer than a handful of pediatric patients in the literature and in almost all prior publications focused on pathology. There is no description of the imaging features of hepatic SEF in the literature.
Patient presentation: A 17-year-old female with chronic abdominal pain and pruritis was found to have a large solid mass in the right hepatic lobe on ultrasonography (US). Further imaging by contrast-enhanced MRI and FDG PET was performed. A core biopsy of the hepatic mass revealed SFE. Two months later, she underwent liver transplantation. On clinical and imaging follow-up up to 24 months after transplantation, no evidence of recurrence or metastasis was identified.
Conclusion: This paper presents the first multimodality imaging features of primary hepatic SEF in an adolescent patient.

Abstract

Background
Gender-based violence (GBV) against women is a global health issue, affecting one in three women worldwide. Exposure to GBV during pregnancy poses significant health risks to the mother and her foetus, leading to various complications. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, types, and factors associated with GBV among pregnant women in Northern Uganda.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital's antenatal care clinic from June to August 2023. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires in English or Acholi. Participants were selected through systematic random sampling. Information on socio-demographic characteristics, partner attributes, and GBV exposure was collected. Descriptive statistics and modified Poisson regression analyses were performed using STATA 18.0. Associations between variables and GBV were reported as adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR), with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results
Among the 339 participants, the mean age (standard deviation) was 26.1(5.5) years. Overall, 73.2% (n = 248) of the participants were exposed to GBV in pregnancy. The most common form of GBV was controlling behaviour by male partners (61.9%, n = 210), followed by emotional violence (34.8%, n = 118), economic violence (29.5%, n = 100), sexual violence (28.9%, n = 98), and physical violence (16.2%, n = 55). Factors associated with GBV included being in a polygynous marriage (aPR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.03–1.31, p = 0.013), having poor (aPR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.32–1.89, p < 0.0001) or good (aPR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.03–1.51, p = 0.026) versus perfect relationship with the husband's family, week of amenorrhea (aPR: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.003–1.02, p = 0.006), and maternal age (aPR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.97–0.99, p = 0.003).
Conclusions
GBV during pregnancy, particularly controlling behaviour by male partners, is highly prevalent in Northern Uganda. To mitigate the negative impacts on maternal and foetal health, targeted interventions by the Ministry of Health, development partners, and other stakeholders are urgently needed to prevent and manage GBV in pregnancy.

Abstract

This paper examines the interaction between local culture and global market trends under globalisation through a comparative analysis of brand design in China, Vietnam, and Japan. Employing bibliometric analysis, literature review, and case study methodologies to analyse over 900 articles and several case studies, it reveals those Chinese brands merge traditional elements with modern design philosophies. In contrast, Vietnamese brands integrate significant cultural totems amidst modernisation, and Japanese brands showcase minimalism and a focus on detail. The research underscores the importance of acknowledging and respecting cultural uniqueness in brand design for effective cross-cultural communication and market positioning, offering new insights into the dynamics of globalisation and cultural identity in brand design.

Широко используемым полуфабрикатом для получения бумаги для гофрирования и картона для плоского слоя гофрокартона является нейтральносульфитная полуцеллюлоза, получаемая из древесины лиственных пород. В работе исследовано влияние высокой температуры на прочностные свойства картона из нейтрально-сульфитной полуцеллюлозы и морфологические характеристики волокон в картоне при его цикличном использовании в процессе гофропроизводства. Показано, что в результате термического воздействия на картон с 3-го цикла переработки доминирующей становится фракция с более короткими волокнами 0,4–0,8 мм (ее увеличение составило 13%), взамен фракции с волокнами 0,8–1,2 мм (снижение которой составило 7,6%). Установлено, что в результате шести циклов переработки с применением высоких температур, имитирующих процессы гофрообразования у картона из НСПЦ в меньшей степени снижаются прочностные показатели, чем у картона из сульфатной небеленой хвойной целлюлозы. Это позволяет предположить, что лигноуглеводный комплекс нейтрально-сульфитной полуцеллюлозы препятствует интенсивному термическому разложению целлюлозы. Поэтому термопластические свойства лигнина можно использовать без опасности сильной деструкции целлюлозных волокон и снижения прочностных показателей картона, что приведет к увеличению количества циклов переработки картона. В целом нейтрально-сульфитная полуцеллюлоза обладает более высоким потенциалом для вторичной переработки в гофропроизводстве, чем сульфатная небеленая хвойная целлюлоза нормального выхода.
A widely used first stuff for fluting and linerboard is neutral-sulfite semichemical obtained from hardwood. The paper studies the effect of high temperature on the strength properties of neutral sulfite semichemical board, and the morphological characteristics of the fibers in the board during its multicycle use in the process of corrugated production. It is shown that as a result of thermal influence on cardboard after 3 cycles of processing the fraction with shorter fibers (0,4–0,8 mm) becomes dominant, its increase was 13%, instead of fraction with fibers 0,8–1,2 mm, decrease of which was 7,6%. It was found that as a result of six cycles of processing at high temperatures simulating the corrugation process, the strength properties of paperboard made of neutral-sulfite semichemical decreased to a lesser extent than those of paperboard made of unbleached softwood sulfate pulp. This suggests that the lignin-carbohydrate complex of neutral sulfite semi-cellulose prevents intensive thermal destruction of cellulose. Therefore, the thermoplastic properties of lignin can be used without the danger of severe degradation of cellulose fibers and reduction of strength properties of cardboard, which will increase the number of cardboard processing cycles. In general, neutral sulfite semichemical pulp has a higher potential for recycling in corrugated production than unbleached sulfate softwood pulp of normal yield.
