The soil K tested by CEM was significantly correlated with that by the other (conventional) methods (r2=0.43**~0.95***). The soil K tested by CEM saturated with NH4HCO3 (15 min extraction) was most closely correlated with that by the other methods (2 =0. 60***~0.95***). Potassium availability, as predicted by soil test, was comparable to actual K uptake by canola and wheat grown on the soils in growth chamber. Regression analyses showed that plant K uptake was more closely correlated with K extracted by CEM (r2=0.56***~0.81***) than that by the conventional methods (r2=0.46***~;0.81***), most closely correlsted with that by NH4HCO3-saturated CEM for 15 min (r2=0.81***), and worst correlated with that by HNO3 (r2=0.45**~0.72***).展开更多

However the existing computer-aided discriminant procedures for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are yet to be improved for better identifying patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from those with AD and those who are cognitively normal. In this work we present a computer assisted diagnosis approach by first statistically extracting characteristics from whole brain 2-deoxy-2-(lSF)fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography (lSF-FDG PET) images, and then using support vector machines for classification. Evaluations of the proposed procedure with patient data exhibit satisfactory accuracies in distinguishing AD from its early stage MCI, and normal controls.展开更多

The study also aimed to evaluate the wound healing, duration of the procedure, and level of gingival laceration associated with the use of these two instruments. The study was a randomized controlled clinical trial involving 26 patients requiring nonsurgical tooth extractions bilaterally. The subjects were randomized into two groups: the study group, where flexible periotomes were used to break the periodontal ligament, and the control group, where conventional periotomes were used. A total of 52 extractions were performed, either for orthodontic or implant placement purposes. After the extractions, the researchers evaluated the level of gingival laceration, duration of the procedure, and wound healing on postoperative days 1 and 7. Any complications that arose were also noted. The study group (flexible periotome) and control group (conventional periotome) were compared, and the results showed that the flexible periotomes required a shorter duration of time (around 4 minutes) compared to conventional periotomes (7 minutes). Additionally, gingival lacerations were found to be less severe in the study group. In conclusion, the use of flexible periotomes was found to be more efficient in atraumatic dental extractions compared to conventional periotomes. This study highlights the importance of using newer technology to perform atraumatic extractions, particularly in the era of implantology where there is an increased demand for such procedures.展开更多

It can be responsible for immediate or late maternal complications, which are not specific because they can occur after a normal delivery. The objectives of this work are to describe the epidemiological-clinical and prognosis aspects of deliveries assisted by instrumental extractions in a reference maternity unit in Dakar.?Materials and Methods:?This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, a period of 12 months at the maternity ward of the Nabil Choucair Health Center. The collection was carried out using the survey form completed on the basis of the analysis of the files, the delivery register and the anaesthesia register of the operating room. The parameters studied were about socio-demographic?characteristics, indications and prognosis. The data entry was carried out using the Sphinx version 5 software and the data analysis using the Epi info version?3.5?software. Results:?During the period of our study, we collected 94 instrumental?extractions. The frequency of instrumental extractions was?1.7%. The average age of the patients was 25 years with extremes of 16 to 43 years old. The average parity was 1 with extremes 1 to 6. Among parturient women, 12?patients (12.8%) had a history of suction cup, two (2.1%) had received forceps and three (3.2%) had a cesarean section. The average gestational age was 39 Weeks of Amenorrhea (WA), the average uterine?height was 32?cm, fetal heart sounds were normal in 98% parturient’ cases. The vaginal?touch had found a fully dilated cervix, a rupture of the amniotic sac with clear amniotic?fluid in 98% of parturient women and a fetus with an anterior left iliac occipito topin 69.4% of cases. The pelvis was clinically normal in all parturient women. The indications were dominated by maternal fatigue (65.9%). The spatula was the?most commonly used instrument (82.7%). Episiotomy was performed in 97.3%?of cases. The average weight of the newborn was 3058 grams and an Apgar score of 8/10 was noted in 96% of newborns. We noted 3?cases of maternal complications with perineal tear type (3.2%) and 1 case of perineal tear associated with postpartum hemorrhage (1.06%). The neonatal prognosis was dominated by 2 caput succedaneum cases (2.1%). Newborns were alive and well in 97.8%. We noted 2 cases of death, i.e. 2.1% in?unsolved circumstances. All the mothers were alive and well at (100%). Conclusion:?Instrumental extractions must be integrated into our structures?to significantly reduce the number of abusive cesarean sections. The perfect mastery of extraction techniques and indications makes?it possible to?reduce fetal suffering while avoiding the morbidity associated with instrumental?extractions.展开更多

Populus has been subject of several proteome studies, but up to date no comparative study was performed on the extraction method of soluble proteins for this species. The extraction is the most critical step in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and each extraction method has its advantages, disadvantages and limitations. Therefore protein extraction methods should be optimized for each tissue before starting an experimental setup. In prospect of future DIGE (Differential Gel electrophoresis) experiments for the investigation of the effects of cadmium and inoculation with plant growth promoting bacteria at the proteome level, the aim of this study was to optimize an extraction method for soluble proteins of poplar leaves and roots. Results: The acetone-phenol extraction method was found to be the most suited, rendering a high spot number and low background interference. During further optimization, several critical steps in the extraction method were revealed. Conclusion: Aiming to optimize the extraction of soluble leaf and root proteins of Populus deltoides × (trichocarpa× deltoides) compatible with DIGE analysis, a protocol rendering high reproducibility, low background interference and a high spot number was established, however no novel insights were acquired.展开更多

Each approach presents distinct advantages and disadvantages,with fresh sperm typically showing superior sperm quality, while frozen sperm offers logistical flexibility and a reliable backup forrepeated cycles. This review summarizes the latest advancements in sperm retrieval and cryopreservation techniques, providingpractitioners with a comprehensive analysis of each option’s strengths and limitations. Comparative studies indicate that, althoughfresh sperm often has better quality metrics, cryopreservation methods such as vitrification have significantly improved postthawoutcomes, making frozen sperm a viable choice in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The findings show comparablerates for fertilization, implantation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth between fresh and frozen microdissection testicular spermextraction (micro-TESE) sperm in many cases, although patient-specific factors such as timing, cost-effectiveness, and proceduralconvenience should guide the final decision. Ultimately, the choice of using fresh or frozen sperm should align with the individualneeds and conditions of patients. This tailored approach, supported by the latest advancements, can optimize ART outcomes andprovide personalized reproductive care.展开更多

It is critical to industrial production, especially to areas such as aircraft manufacturing, which require strict part qualification rates. Although being more efficient and practical, few-shot AD has not been well explored. The existing AD methods only extract features in a single frequency while defects exist in multiple frequency domains. Moreover, current methods have not fully leveraged the few-shot support samples to extract input-related normal patterns. To address these issues, we propose an industrial few-shot AD method, Feature Extender for Anomaly Detection (FEAD), which extracts normal patterns in multiple frequency domains from few-shot samples under the guidance of the input sample. Firstly, to achieve better coverage of normal patterns in the input sample, we introduce a Sample-Conditioned Transformation Module (SCTM), which transforms support features under the guidance of the input sample to obtain extra normal patterns. Secondly, to effectively distinguish and localize anomaly patterns in multiple frequency domains, we devise an Adaptive Descriptor Construction Module (ADCM) to build and select pattern descriptors in a series of frequencies adaptively. Finally, an auxiliary task for SCTM is designed to ensure the diversity of transformations and include more normal patterns into support features. Extensive experiments on two widely used industrial AD datasets (MVTec-AD and VisA) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed FEAD.展开更多

The domain of maritime and shipping is characterized by a vast array of document types, filled with complex, large-scale, and often chaotic knowledge and relationships. Effectively managing these documents is crucial for developing a Large Language Model (LLM) in the maritime domain, enabling practitioners to access and leverage valuable information. A Knowledge Graph (KG) offers a state-of-the-art solution for enhancing knowledge retrieval, providing more accurate responses and enabling context-aware reasoning. This paper presents a framework for utilizing maritime and shipping documents to construct a knowledge graph using GraphRAG, a hybrid tool combining graph-based retrieval and generation capabilities. The extraction of entities and relationships from these documents and the KG construction process are detailed. Furthermore, the KG is integrated with an LLM to develop a Q&A system, demonstrating that the system significantly improves answer accuracy compared to traditional LLMs. Additionally, the KG construction process is up to 50% faster than conventional LLM-based approaches, underscoring the efficiency of our method. This study provides a promising approach to digital intelligence in shipping, advancing knowledge accessibility and decision-making.展开更多

The study group (flexible periotome) and control group (conventional periotome) were compared, and the results showed that the flexible periotomes required a shorter duration of time (around 4 minutes) compared to conventional periotomes (7 minutes). Additionally, gingival lacerations were found to be less severe in the study group. In conclusion, the use of flexible periotomes was found to be more efficient in atraumatic dental extractions compared to conventional periotomes. This study highlights the importance of using newer technology to perform atraumatic extractions, particularly in the era of implantology where there is an increased demand for such procedures.
文摘Introduction:?An instrumental extraction is performed in order to shorten the phase of expulsion of the fetus outside the maternal pelvic pathway, when there is a suspected fetal state or a defect in progression of the fetal mobile. It can be responsible for immediate or late maternal complications, which are not specific because they can occur after a normal delivery. The objectives of this work are to describe the epidemiological-clinical and prognosis aspects of deliveries assisted by instrumental extractions in a reference maternity unit in Dakar.?Materials and Methods:?This was a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017, a period of 12 months at the maternity ward of the Nabil Choucair Health Center. The collection was carried out using the survey form completed on the basis of the analysis of the files, the delivery register and the anaesthesia register of the operating room. The parameters studied were about socio-demographic?characteristics, indications and prognosis. The data entry was carried out using the Sphinx version 5 software and the data analysis using the Epi info version?3.5?software. Results:?During the period of our study, we collected 94 instrumental?extractions. The frequency of instrumental extractions was?1.7%. The average age of the patients was 25 years with extremes of 16 to 43 years old. The average parity was 1 with extremes 1 to 6. Among parturient women, 12?patients (12.8%) had a history of suction cup, two (2.1%) had received forceps and three (3.2%) had a cesarean section. The average gestational age was 39 Weeks of Amenorrhea (WA), the average uterine?height was 32?cm, fetal heart sounds were normal in 98% parturient’ cases. The vaginal?touch had found a fully dilated cervix, a rupture of the amniotic sac with clear amniotic?fluid in 98% of parturient women and a fetus with an anterior left iliac occipito topin 69.4% of cases. The pelvis was clinically normal in all parturient women. The indications were dominated by maternal fatigue (65.9%). The spatula was the?most commonly used instrument (82.7%). Episiotomy was performed in 97.3%?of cases. The average weight of the newborn was 3058 grams and an Apgar score of 8/10 was noted in 96% of newborns. We noted 3?cases of maternal complications with perineal tear type (3.2%) and 1 case of perineal tear associated with postpartum hemorrhage (1.06%). The neonatal prognosis was dominated by 2 caput succedaneum cases (2.1%). Newborns were alive and well in 97.8%. We noted 2 cases of death, i.e. 2.1% in?unsolved circumstances. All the mothers were alive and well at (100%). Conclusion:?Instrumental extractions must be integrated into our structures?to significantly reduce the number of abusive cesarean sections. The perfect mastery of extraction techniques and indications makes?it possible to?reduce fetal suffering while avoiding the morbidity associated with instrumental?extractions.
文摘Background: The disclosure of the poplar genome strengthens its position as well-established model organism. Populus has been subject of several proteome studies, but up to date no comparative study was performed on the extraction method of soluble proteins for this species. The extraction is the most critical step in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and each extraction method has its advantages, disadvantages and limitations. Therefore protein extraction methods should be optimized for each tissue before starting an experimental setup. In prospect of future DIGE (Differential Gel electrophoresis) experiments for the investigation of the effects of cadmium and inoculation with plant growth promoting bacteria at the proteome level, the aim of this study was to optimize an extraction method for soluble proteins of poplar leaves and roots. Results: The acetone-phenol extraction method was found to be the most suited, rendering a high spot number and low background interference. During further optimization, several critical steps in the extraction method were revealed. Conclusion: Aiming to optimize the extraction of soluble leaf and root proteins of Populus deltoides × (trichocarpa× deltoides) compatible with DIGE analysis, a protocol rendering high reproducibility, low background interference and a high spot number was established, however no novel insights were acquired.

文摘Silver nanoparticles(Ag NPs)have attracted attention in the field of biomaterials due to their excellent antibacterial property.However,the reducing and stabilizing agents used for the chemical reduction of Ag NPs are usually toxic and may cause water pollution.In this work,Ag NPs(31.2 nm in diameter)were prepared using the extract of straw,an agricultural waste,as the reducing and stabilizing agent.Experimental analysis revealed that the straw extract contained lignin,the structure of which possesses phenolic hydroxyl and methoxy groups that facilitate the reduction of silver salts into Ag NPs.The surfaces of Ag NPs were negatively charged due to the encapsulation of a thin layer of lignin molecules that prevented their aggregation.After the prepared Ag NPs were added to the precursor solution of acrylamide,free radical polymerization was triggered without the need for extra heating or light irradiation,resulting in the rapid formation of an Ag NP-polyacrylamide composite hydrogel.The inhibition zone test proved that the composite hydrogel possessed excellent antibacterial ability due to the presence of Ag NPs.The prepared hydrogel may have potential applications in the fabrication of biomedical materials,such as antibacterial dressings.

文摘Solvent extraction is the main method used to separate and purify rare earth elements.In the process of rare earths extraction,emulsification often generated due to the instability of the aqueous and organic phases or improper operating conditions.Once emulsification occurs,it would not only lead to low rare earths recovery efficiency,small product quantities,high production costs and the losing of extractant and rare earth resources,but also result in serious environmental pollution.Therefore,it is very important to study the micro-mechanisms of emulsification and establish new methods to prevent emulsification at the source.In this paper,possible factors resulting in emulsification,such as the compositions and properties of the organic and aqueous phases,the operating conditions of the rare earths extraction are reviewed.The micro-mechanisms of emulsification are summarized basing on the microscopic structures in the bulk phase,aggregations of the extractants at the organic-aqueous interface,spectral characterizations and computational simulations.On this basis,new formation mechanisms are proposed for emulsification.Preliminary explorations are employed to verify the correctness of these new viewpoints.Finally,future directions for studies of the emulsification micro-mechanism are proposed.This study provides a theoretical basis for further understanding the micro-mechanisms of interfacial instability resulting in emulsification in the process of rare earths extraction.

文摘The use of fresh versus frozen spermatozoa in men with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) undergoingin vitro fertilization (IVF)has been a debated hot topic among reproductive specialists. Each approach presents distinct advantages and disadvantages,with fresh sperm typically showing superior sperm quality, while frozen sperm offers logistical flexibility and a reliable backup forrepeated cycles. This review summarizes the latest advancements in sperm retrieval and cryopreservation techniques, providingpractitioners with a comprehensive analysis of each option’s strengths and limitations. Comparative studies indicate that, althoughfresh sperm often has better quality metrics, cryopreservation methods such as vitrification have significantly improved postthawoutcomes, making frozen sperm a viable choice in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The findings show comparablerates for fertilization, implantation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth between fresh and frozen microdissection testicular spermextraction (micro-TESE) sperm in many cases, although patient-specific factors such as timing, cost-effectiveness, and proceduralconvenience should guide the final decision. Ultimately, the choice of using fresh or frozen sperm should align with the individualneeds and conditions of patients. This tailored approach, supported by the latest advancements, can optimize ART outcomes andprovide personalized reproductive care.

文摘Anomaly Detection (AD) has been extensively adopted in industrial settings to facilitate quality control of products. It is critical to industrial production, especially to areas such as aircraft manufacturing, which require strict part qualification rates. Although being more efficient and practical, few-shot AD has not been well explored. The existing AD methods only extract features in a single frequency while defects exist in multiple frequency domains. Moreover, current methods have not fully leveraged the few-shot support samples to extract input-related normal patterns. To address these issues, we propose an industrial few-shot AD method, Feature Extender for Anomaly Detection (FEAD), which extracts normal patterns in multiple frequency domains from few-shot samples under the guidance of the input sample. Firstly, to achieve better coverage of normal patterns in the input sample, we introduce a Sample-Conditioned Transformation Module (SCTM), which transforms support features under the guidance of the input sample to obtain extra normal patterns. Secondly, to effectively distinguish and localize anomaly patterns in multiple frequency domains, we devise an Adaptive Descriptor Construction Module (ADCM) to build and select pattern descriptors in a series of frequencies adaptively. Finally, an auxiliary task for SCTM is designed to ensure the diversity of transformations and include more normal patterns into support features. Extensive experiments on two widely used industrial AD datasets (MVTec-AD and VisA) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed FEAD.

文摘As a typical bioflavonoid,diosmetin is desirable in the field of natural medicine,healthy food,and cosmetics by anti-cancer,antibacterial,antioxidant,estrogen-like and anti-inflammatory activities,and it comes from a wide range of sources in traditional Chinese medicine like spider fragrance,spearmint and chrysanthemum,as well as in Citrus fruit.However,traditional analytical methods such as silica gel column chromatography face multiple challenges in the selective extraction of diosmetin from biological materials and traditional Chinese medicinal materials.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a new type of absorbent with high efficiency,recyclability and good specificity to diosmetin.In this investigation,a magnetic surface molecularly imprinted polymer(labeled as Diosmetin/SMIPs)was synthesized employing magnetic nanoparticles as the carrier and 4-vinylpyridinyl(4-VP)as the functional monomer by surface imprinting technology.The functional monomer was screened by the binding energy(△E)between functional monomers and template molecules via computational simulation.The Diosmetin/SMIPs had a high level of specific recognition and adsorption capability towards diosmetin with a 20.25 mg g^(-1) adsorption capacity and an imprinting factor(IF)of 2.28.Additionally,it demonstrated excellent regeneration performance with 8 adsorption/desorption cycles.In addition,91.20%-94.16% of spiked diosmetin was recovered from the lemon peel samples.The strategy of constructing Diosmetin/SMIPs based on computational simulation can effectively enhance the specific adsorption performance of diosmetin.Meanwhile,Diosmetin/SMIPs synthesized by imprinting polymerization showed excellent anti-interference and reusability,and realized efficient targeted extraction of diosmetin from lemon peel samples.The results of this investigation provide a promising adsorbent for selective enrichment of diosmetin from Citrus fruit and complicated materials.

文摘Identification of the most appropriate chemically extractable pool for evaluating Cd and Pb availability remains elusive,hindering accurate assessment on environmental risks and effectiveness of remediation strategies.This study evaluated the feasibility of European Community Bureau of Reference(BCR)sequential extraction,Ca(NO_(3))_(2)extraction,and water extraction on assessing Cd and Pb availability in agricultural soil amended with slaked lime,magnesium hydroxide,corn stover biochar,and calcium dihydrogen phosphate.Moreover,the enriched isotope tracing technique(^(112)Cd and^(206)Pb)was employed to evaluate the aging process of newly introduced Cd and Pbwithin 56 days’incubation.Results demonstrated that extractable pools by BCR and Ca(NO_(3))_(2)extraction were little impacted by amendments and showed little correlation with soil pH.This is notable because soil pH is closely linked to metal availability,indicating these extraction methods may not adequately reflect metal availability.Conversely,water-soluble concentrations of Cd and Pb were markedly influenced by amendments and exhibited strong correlations with pH(Pearson’s r:-0.908 to-0.825,P<0.001),suggesting water extraction as a more sensitive approach.Furthermore,newly introduced metals underwent a more evident aging process as demonstrated by acid-soluble and water-soluble pools.Additionally,water-soluble concentrations of essential metals were impacted by soil amendments,raising caution on their potential effects on plant growth.These findings suggest water extraction as a promising and attractive method to evaluate Cd and Pb availability,which will help provide assessment guidance for environmental risks caused by heavy metals and develop efficient remediation strategies.
文摘BACKGROUND This case report describes a protocol developed by Danaun Medical Clinic for the introduction of a pioneering intervention comprising intravenous human placen-tal extract(HPE)therapy to improve the liver function of patients with chronic liver disease(CLD).CASE SUMMARY This study involved data from patients whose chief complaint was reduced quality of life attributable to CLD.The new treatment approach resulted in improvements in the liver function and fatty liver of 30 patients with CLD.Im-provements were observed using abdominal ultrasonography.Unlike traditional methods,this protocol provided more sustainable and meaningful results.Treat-ment with 10 mL of HPE administered intravenously once or twice per week significantly improved liver function.The observed improvements in fatty liver and liver function suggest the utility of this approach for the management of patients with CLD.CONCLUSION This case series highlights the potential of innovative treatments for patients with CLD that could improve the quality of life of the patients.
文摘In the international shipping industry, digital intelligence transformation has become essential, with both governments and enterprises actively working to integrate diverse datasets. The domain of maritime and shipping is characterized by a vast array of document types, filled with complex, large-scale, and often chaotic knowledge and relationships. Effectively managing these documents is crucial for developing a Large Language Model (LLM) in the maritime domain, enabling practitioners to access and leverage valuable information. A Knowledge Graph (KG) offers a state-of-the-art solution for enhancing knowledge retrieval, providing more accurate responses and enabling context-aware reasoning. This paper presents a framework for utilizing maritime and shipping documents to construct a knowledge graph using GraphRAG, a hybrid tool combining graph-based retrieval and generation capabilities. The extraction of entities and relationships from these documents and the KG construction process are detailed. Furthermore, the KG is integrated with an LLM to develop a Q&A system, demonstrating that the system significantly improves answer accuracy compared to traditional LLMs. Additionally, the KG construction process is up to 50% faster than conventional LLM-based approaches, underscoring the efficiency of our method. This study provides a promising approach to digital intelligence in shipping, advancing knowledge accessibility and decision-making.
