Included in the list of differential diagnoses for these tumors are Schwannomas, which are benign tumors within the peripheral nervous system [1]. Schwannomas are uncommon within the upper extremity, and they are exceedingly rare within the hand and wrist [1]. We describe a case of an 80-year-old female presented with a soft tissue mass within her right thumb. She underwent excisional biopsy of the mass, and pathology showed features consistent with schwannoma. She had resolution of her symptoms thereafter. We discuss the differential diagnosis for soft-tissue tumors in this location. When assessing patients with soft tissue tumors of the hand and wrist, it is important for the treating provider to maintain a broad differential diagnosis in order to facilitate appropriate management of these lesions.展开更多

By combining energy and mass balance equations with heat and mass transfer coefficients and air psychrometric correlations, the model provides insights into the impact of design and operational parameters on the exchanger cooling performance. Validated against an established numerical model, it accurately simulates cooling behavior with a Root Mean Square Deviation of 0.43 - 1.18˚C under varying inlet air conditions. The results show that tube geometry, including equivalent diameter, flatness ratio, and length significantly influences cooling outcomes. Smaller diameters enhance wet-bulb effectiveness but reduce cooling capacity, while increased flatness and length improve both. For example, extending the flatness ratio of a 15 mm diameter, 0.6 m long tube from 1 (circular) to 4 raises the exchange surface area from 0.028 to 0.037 m2, increasing wet-bulb effectiveness from 60% to 71%. Recommended diameters range from 5 mm for tubes under 0.5 m to 1 cm for tubes 0.5 to 1 m in length. Optimal air velocities depend on tube length: 1 m/s for tubes under 0.8 m, 1.5 m/s for lengths of 0.8 to 1.2 m, and up to 2 m/s for longer tubes. This model offers a practical alternative to complex numerical and CFD methods, with potential applications in cooling tower optimization for thermal and nuclear power plants and geothermal heat exchangers.展开更多

文摘During the hyperacute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH),the mass effect and blood components mechanically lead to brain damage and neurotoxicity.Our findings revealed that the mass effect and transferrin precipitate neuronal oxidative stress and iron uptake,culminating in ferroptosis in neurons.M6A(N6-methyladenosine)modification,the most prevalent mRNA modification,plays a critical role in various cell death pathways.The Fto(fat mass and obesity-associated protein)demethylase has been implicated in numerous signaling pathways of neurological diseases by modulating m6A mRNA levels.Regulation of Fto protein levels in neurons effectively mitigated mass effect-induced neuronal ferroptosis.Applying nanopore direct RNA sequencing,we identified voltage-dependent anion channel 3(Vdac3)as a potential target associated with ferroptosis.Fto influenced neuronal ferroptosis by regulating the m6A methylation of Vdac3 mRNA.These findings elucidate the intricate interplay between Fto,Vdac3,m6A methylation,and ferroptosis in neurons during the hyperacute phase post-ICH and suggest novel therapeutic strategies for ICH.
文摘If the singularity of the cosmic Big Bang is taken as the origin of the reference coordinate system,the surrounding vacuum in the initial moments of it would exhibit radially-outward right-handed spiral motion at light speed.Based on this spatial motion hypothesis,we derive a unified field equation and a set of Maxwell’s equations for vacuum SWs(Scalar Waves)generating a huge spiral force field that drives the energy to spiral inwardly and distort,leading to the formation of mass.Furthermore,they also uncover that mass is fundamentally an ultimate expression of energy,manifesting as the result of spiral motion of space at light speed.And then,we indirectly validate the theory that coherent light waves’collision generate SWs and subsequently mass through the experiment verifying the Breit-Wheeler process.The establishment of our theory offers a new analytical tool for the exploration of mass origin,the cosmic Big Bang,unified field theories.

文摘The transition of hydrogen sourcing from carbon-intensive to water-based methodologies is underway,with renewable energy-powered proton exchange membrane water electrolysis(PEMWE)emerging as the preeminent pathway for hydrogen production.Despite remarkable advancements in this field,confronting the sluggish electrochemical kinetics and inherent high-energy consumption arising from deteriorated mass transport within PEMWE systems remains a formidable obstacle.This impediment stems primarily from the hindered protons mass transfer and the untimely hydrogen bubbles detachment.To address these challenges,we harness the inherent variability of electrical energy and introduce an innovative pulsed dynamic water electrolysis system.Compared to constant voltage electrolysis(hydrogen production rate:51.6 m L h^(-1),energy consumption:5.37 kWh Nm-^(3)H_(2)),this strategy(hydrogen production rate:66 m L h^(-1),energy consumption:3.83 kWh Nm-^(3)H_(2))increases the hydrogen production rate by approximately 27%and reduces the energy consumption by about 28%.Furthermore,we demonstrate the practicality of this system by integrating it with an off-grid photovoltaic(PV)system designed for outdoor operation,successfully driving a hydrogen production current of up to 500 mA under an average voltage of approximately 2 V.The combined results of in-situ characterization and finite element analysis reveal the performance enhancement mechanism:pulsed dynamic electrolysis(PDE)dramatically accelerates the enrichment of protons at the electrode/solution interface and facilitates the release of bubbles on the electrode surface.As such,PDE-enhanced PEMWE represents a synergistic advancement,concurrently enhancing both the hydrogen generation reaction and associated transport processes.This promising technology not only redefines the landscape of electrolysis-based hydrogen production but also holds immense potential for broadening its application across a diverse spectrum of electrocatalytic endeavors.

文摘BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis(AS)is recognized as a long-term inflammatory disorder that leads to inflammation in the spine and joints,alongside abnormal bone growth.In previous studies,we reported that mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)derived from individuals with AS demonstrated a remarkable inhibition in the formation of osteoclasts compared to those obtained from healthy donors.The mechanism through which MSCs from AS patients achieve this inhibition remains unclear.AIM To investigate the potential underlying mechanism by which MSCs from individuals with ankylosing spondylitis(AS-MSCs)inhibit osteoclastogenesis.METHODS We analysed fat mass and obesity-associated(FTO)protein levels in AS-MSCs and MSCs from healthy donors and investigated the effects and mechanism by which FTO in MSCs inhibits osteoclastogenesis by coculturing and measuring the levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase,nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 and cathepsin K.RESULTS We found that FTO,an enzyme responsible for removing methyl groups from RNA,was more abundantly expressed in MSCs from AS patients than in those from healthy donors.Reducing FTO levels was shown to diminish the capacity of MSCs to inhibit osteoclast development.Further experimental results revealed that FTO affects the stability of the long non-coding RNA activated by DNA damage(NORAD)by altering its N6-methyladenosine methylation status.Deactivating NORAD in MSCs significantly increased osteoclast formation by affecting miR-4284,which could regulate the MSC-mediated inhibition of osteoclastogenesis reported in our previous research.CONCLUSION This study revealed elevated FTO levels in AS-MSCs and found that FTO regulated the ability of AS-MSCs to inhibit osteoclast formation through the long noncoding RNA NORAD/miR-4284 axis.

文摘Formic and acetic acids are the most abundant gaseous organic acids and play the key role in the atmospheric chemistry.In iodine-adduct chemical ionizationmass spectrometry(CIMS),the low utilization efficiency of methyl iodide and humidity interference are two major issues of the vacuum ultraviolet(VUV)lamp initiated CIMS for on-line gaseous formic and acetic acids analysis.In this work,we present a new CIMS based on VUV lamp,and the ion-molecular reactor is separated into photoionization and chemical ionization zones by a reducer electrode.Acetone was added to the photoionization zone,and the VUV photoionization acetone provided low-energy electrons for methyl iodide to generate I−,and the addition of acetone reduced the amount of methyl iodide by 2/3.In the chemical ionization zone,a headspace vial containing ultrapure water was added for humidity calibration,and the vial changes the sensitivity as a function of humidity from ambiguity to well linear correlation(R2>0.95).With humidity calibration,the CIMS can quantitatively measure formic and acetic acids in the humidity range of 0%-88%RH.In this mode,limits of detection of 10 and 50 pptv are obtained for formic and acetic acids,respectively.And the relative standard deviation(RSD)of quantitation stability for 6 days were less than 10.5%.This CIMS was successfully used to determine the formic and acetic acids in the underground parking and ambient environment of the Shandong University campus(Qingdao,China).In addition,we developed a simple model based formic acid concentration to assess vehicular emissions.
文摘Cystic lesions of the anterior mediastinum in children suggest a well-known group of benign lesions that are comparatively frequent.Thymic cysts(TCs)are mostly positioned in the anterior mediastinum and some patients in the neck.Benign TCs classified as congenital intra-thoracic mesothelial cysts are commonly asymptomatic and have slight clinical significance.Multilocular TC,which can mimic another anterior mediastinal cystic tumor and is seen in adults,is more clinically important.It is a sporadic mediastinal lesion thought to arise in the course of acquired inflammation.Congenital mediastinal cysts represent 3%-6%of all mediastinal tumors and 10%-18%of radiologically reported mediastinal masses.Mediastinal TCs are uncommon and it is hard to know their true incidence.About 60%of cases with mediastinal TCs are asymptomatic,and the remainder of patients complains of nonspecific symptoms(e.g.,chest pain,dyspnea,or cough).The literature suggests that most cysts are benign,but an indefinite percentage may have a neoplastic process and result in significant compressive symptoms over time.Clinical symptoms of TCs vary depending on the location.In addition,frequent symptoms at the appearance of enlarged benign thymic and mediastinal cysts generally contain compressive symptoms(e.g.,respiratory distress,thymic pain,and symptoms related to Horner syndrome,hoarseness,dysphonia,dyspnea,orthopnea,wheezing,and fever).Many TCs have cystic density and a neat border and are simple to diagnose with radiological imaging.However,some TCs are hard to identify before surgery and may be misidentified as thymomas depending on their site and computed tomography results.Excision by thoracotomy,median sternotomy,or video-assisted techniques is essential for conclusive diagnosis,management,and abolition of relapse of anterior mediastinal masses and TCs.Histopathologic examination may be required after surgery.Considering the extent of the mass and the preliminary inability to make a definitive diagnosis,en bloc excision of the cyst was thought to be preferred to circumvent likely complications(e.g.,perforation,spillage of the contents,or incomplete excision).
文摘The validity of the isobaric multiplet mass equation(IMME)is of foundamental importance due to the basic concept of isospin.Recently,a serious breakdown was found in the A=54,T=3,isospin septet,the largest isospin system where the validity of IMME have been tested up to now.Inspired by this work,I revist the mass of some isobaric analogue states with the help of recent results from advanced mass measurement experiment.It is found that the IMME holds well in A=50 and 46 isospin septet and the coefficients of IMME also follow the systematic trends.Mass excess value for^(50)Ni and^(46)Fe,is predicted to be-3932(20)keV and 898(67)keV,respectively.
文摘Soft tissue tumors in the hand have a broad differential diagnosis. Included in the list of differential diagnoses for these tumors are Schwannomas, which are benign tumors within the peripheral nervous system [1]. Schwannomas are uncommon within the upper extremity, and they are exceedingly rare within the hand and wrist [1]. We describe a case of an 80-year-old female presented with a soft tissue mass within her right thumb. She underwent excisional biopsy of the mass, and pathology showed features consistent with schwannoma. She had resolution of her symptoms thereafter. We discuss the differential diagnosis for soft-tissue tumors in this location. When assessing patients with soft tissue tumors of the hand and wrist, it is important for the treating provider to maintain a broad differential diagnosis in order to facilitate appropriate management of these lesions.
文摘This study develops an analytical model to evaluate the cooling performance of a porous terracotta tubular direct evaporative heat and mass exchanger. By combining energy and mass balance equations with heat and mass transfer coefficients and air psychrometric correlations, the model provides insights into the impact of design and operational parameters on the exchanger cooling performance. Validated against an established numerical model, it accurately simulates cooling behavior with a Root Mean Square Deviation of 0.43 - 1.18˚C under varying inlet air conditions. The results show that tube geometry, including equivalent diameter, flatness ratio, and length significantly influences cooling outcomes. Smaller diameters enhance wet-bulb effectiveness but reduce cooling capacity, while increased flatness and length improve both. For example, extending the flatness ratio of a 15 mm diameter, 0.6 m long tube from 1 (circular) to 4 raises the exchange surface area from 0.028 to 0.037 m2, increasing wet-bulb effectiveness from 60% to 71%. Recommended diameters range from 5 mm for tubes under 0.5 m to 1 cm for tubes 0.5 to 1 m in length. Optimal air velocities depend on tube length: 1 m/s for tubes under 0.8 m, 1.5 m/s for lengths of 0.8 to 1.2 m, and up to 2 m/s for longer tubes. This model offers a practical alternative to complex numerical and CFD methods, with potential applications in cooling tower optimization for thermal and nuclear power plants and geothermal heat exchangers.
文摘The application of mass timber elements in different structures has gained publicity over the last few years,pri-marily due to climate change adaptation policies and net zero carbon targets.Timber is a renewable construction material that can outperform other building materials regarding environmental impact.However,when used in seismically active regions,its application has been limited due to the uncertainties on their seismic behaviour in respect with different design standards and limited ductility in conventional connections.Conventional timber connections typically suffer from stiffness and strength degradation under cyclic loads.Their repairability is also low due to permanent damage in the fasteners and the associated crushing in the wood fibres.The use of friction connections can be an efficient way to mitigate these issues.They offer many advantages as they are economical and yet provide a high level of reliable and continuous energy dissipation.In recent years,a new generation of friction connections has been developed that can provide self-centring behaviour(i.e.,the ability of the structure to return to its original position at the end of an earthquake).However,how these connections perform compared to a mass timber system with conventional timber connections is still unknown.Several studies in the literature have suggested that these connections can enhance the performance of mass timber structures.However,the seismic performance of such systems specifically in terms of base shear,response drifts and response accelerations-has not been thoroughly investigated.This paper examines various design aspects of conventional friction connections and self-centring friction connections,providing insights into their differences concerning key seismic performance indicators.It compares the seismic performance of mass timber buildings equipped with both solutions,highlighting their advantages and limitations and drawing conclusions based on the results.The key findings are that friction connections can provides a superior seismic performance for timber structures.However,that may need to be combined with a parallel system avoid residual displacements.

文摘The performance and price of copper-based micro linear products are determined by the diameter uniformity.How to accurately detect the wire diameter of long-length copper based micro linear products without cutting or damage has always been a technical concern for production enterprises.Herein,a novel approach was developed for nondestructive detection of the average diameter at any given segment of a long copper wire by assessing the adsorption capacity of arginine on its surface.The amount of adsorbent on the surface of the copper wire exhibits a positive correlation with the area,which can be detected by extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(EESI-MS)after online elution with ammonia.The experimental results demonstrated that the analysis can be completed within 15 min,with a good linear relationship between copper wires with different diameters and the adsorption capacity of arginine.The linear correlation coefficient R2was 0.995,the relative standard deviation was 1.10%-2.81%,and the detection limit reached 2.5μm(length of segment=4 cm),showing potential applications for facile measurement of the average diameter of various metal wires.

文摘Objective This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index(BMI)and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study.Methods A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality.Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants.Results Overall,19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died.The underweight(<18.5 kg/m^(2))presented an increase in all-cause mortality(adjusted hazards ratio[aHR]=2.00,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.66–2.41),while overweight(≥24.0 to<28.0 kg/m^(2))and obesity(≥28.0 kg/m^(2))presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61(95%CI:0.52–0.73)and 0.51(95%CI:0.37–0.70),respectively.Overweight(aHR=0.76,95%CI:0.67–0.86)and mild obesity(aHR=0.72,95%CI:0.59–0.87)had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years.All-2 cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m(aHR=0.95,95%CI:0.92–0.98)and increased slightly above that value,indicating a U-shaped association.The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses.Conclusion This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years.Therefore,it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.

文摘This study introduces a cut-to-fit methodology for customizing bulk aramid aerogels into form factors suitable for wearable energy storage.Owing to strong intercomponent bonds within aramid-based building blocks,it is possible to delaminate layered bulk aerogel into flexible and thinner sheets,enabling efficient mass production.This process allows for precise customization of aerogel dimensions,shape,and elasticity,ensuring high resilience to deformation along with excellent thermal and impact resistance.Incorporation of conductive carbon nanotubes on the surface significantly enhances electrical conductivity and multi-catalytic activity while retaining the inherent advantages of aramids.These advancements facilitate the use of flexible and conductive electrodes as air cathodes in solid-state zinc–air batteries(ZABs),which demonstrate superior cyclic performance and lifecycles exceeding 160 h.Furthermore,aramid-based packaging provides superior protection for pouch-type ZABs,ensuring a consistent power supply even in severe conditions.These batteries are capable of withstanding structural deformations and absorbing physical and thermal shocks,such as impacts and exposure to fire.Moreover,the innovative reassembly of custom-cut single-pouch cells into battery modules allows for enhanced power output,tailored to wearable applications.This highlights the potential of the technology for a wide array of wearable devices requiring dependable energy sources in demanding environments.
