Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) comprised of tunable unit cells have recently drawn significant attention due to their superior capability in manipulating electromagnetic waves. In particular, RIS-assisted wireless communications have the great potential to achieve significant performance...

Knowledge of whole heart anatomy is a prerequisite for many clinical applications. Whole heart segmentation (WHS), which delineates substructures of the heart, can be very valuable for modeling and analysis of the anatomy and functions of the heart. However, automating this segmentation can be chall...

) into a highly toxic hydroxyl radical (˙OH) via the Fenton reaction. The exposed DOX can enter the cell nucleus to induce chemotherapy. The released ICG can locate the distribution of nanocomposites in the body. Besides, the heat generated from PID@Fe-TA after NIR laser irradiation can further prom...

In this paper, the high-dimensional distributed state estimation problem is investigated for a class of sensor networks within the cubature Kalman filtering (CKF) framework. The network consists of two types of nodes, i.e., communication ones and sensor ones. First, a hybrid consensus-based cubature...

In the liver microenvironment, interactions among diverse types of hepatic cells are involved in liver fibrosis. In fibrotic tissues, exosomes act as transporters in intercellular communication. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), which are...

Nowadays, deep learning-based models have been widely developed for atrial fibrillation (AF) detection in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. However, owing to the inevitable over-fitting problem, classification accuracy of the developed models severely differed when applying on the independent test da...

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been proven to effectively immobilize plastic particles. However, little is known about the differences in the impact of varying sized plastic particles on nitrous oxide (N2O) release, as well as the intervention mechanisms in CWs. Here, we built a lab-scale wetland m...

Arsenic is an environmental toxicant and human carcinogen. The liver is the main site of arsenic storage and metabolism. Exposure to excessive arsenic causes liver damage and release of pro-inflammatory factors, which in turn lead to liver fibrosis. Gasdermin D (GSDMD), a mediator of pyroptosis, has...

A better understanding of the immune profile of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the immunomodulatory impact of chemotherapy is essential to develop current therapeutic approaches. Herein, we collected peripheral blood from 20 healthy donors and 50 patients with advanced NSCLC, before and afte...

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a synthetic chemical applied as a plasticizer. As an environmental toxicant, DEHP poses a serious health threat. Many studies have revealed that DEHP can cause lead to various degrees of damage to the kidney. However, the evidence of DEHP-induced renal ferroptosi...

The class C orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) GPR156, which lacks the large extracellular region, plays a pivotal role in auditory function through Gi2/3. Here, we firstly demonstrate that GPR156 with high constitutive activity is essential for maintaining auditory function, and further revea...

OBJECTIVES: Coagulation factors participates in the inflammatory cascade, known to play a crucial role in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). Thus, it's likely that some factors may be associated with AKI. Among them, low levels of fibrinogen and antithrombin III (ATIII) activity have been...

PURPOSE: The human brain has two cerebral hemispheres that are roughly symmetric and separated by a midline, which is nearly a straight line shown in axial computed tomography (CT) images in healthy subjects. However, brain diseases such as hematoma and tumors often cause midline shift, where the de...
