However, the source gland(s) and chemistry of such stimuli have never been revealed. In this study, extracts of mandibular, Dufour's, postpharyngeal, and poison glands were evaluated for their effect on ant digging and residing preferences of S. invicta workers from three colonies. In the intracolonial bioassays, workers showed significant digging preferences to mandibular gland extracts in 2 of 3 colonies and significant residing preferences in 1 of 3 colonies; significant digging preferences to Dufour's gland extracts in 1 of 3 colonies and significant residing preferences in 2 of 3 colonies. No digging and residing preferences were found for postpharyngeal and poison gland extracts. In intercolonial bioassays, significant digging and residing prefer- ences were found for mandibular gland extracts in 3 of 6 colony combinations. Significant digging preferences to Dufour's gland extracts were found in 4 of 6 colony combinations and significant residing preferences in all 6 colony combinations. For postpharyngeal gland extracts, significant digging preferences were found only in 1 of 6 colonial combinations and no significant residing preferences were found. For poison gland extracts, no signif- icant digging preferences were found; significant residing preferences were found in 1 of 6 colony combinations. However, a significant residing deterrence (negative residing preference index) was found for 2 of 6 colony combinations. Statistical analyses using data pooled from all colonies showed that mandibular and Dufour's gland extracts caused sig- nificant digging and residing preferences in both intracolonial and intercolonial bioassays but not postpharyngeal and poison gland extracts. By analyzing the data pooled from the same three colonies used for gland extract bioassays, it was found that, in no cases, workers showed significant digging and residing preferences to 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylpyrazine, an alarm pheromone component from mandibular gland.展开更多

文摘Microglia,the resident immune cells of the central nervous system,exhibit a wide array of functional states,even in their so-called“homeostatic”condition,when they are not actively responding to overt pathological stimuli.These functional states can be visualized using a combination of multi-omics techniques(e.g.,gene and protein expression,posttranslational modifications,mRNA profiling,and metabolomics),and,in the case of homeostatic microglia,are largely defined by the global(e.g.,genetic variations,organism’s age,sex,circadian rhythms,and gut microbiota)as well as local(specific area of the brain,immediate microglial surrounding,neuron-glia interactions and synaptic density/activity)signals(Paolicelli et al.,2022).While phenomics(i.e.,ultrastructural microglial morphology and motility)is also one of the key microglial state-defining parameters,it is known that cells with similar morphology can belong to different functional states.

文摘I had an epiphany last month.I realized that all the teaching I’ve provided to residents and students the past three decades could be distilled into a single,germane suggestion:“Think Like an Engineer!”
文摘Perhaps the greatest compliment that an attending surgeon can bestow on a resident in training,is to comment,“He/she has good hands.”However,what defines good hands?What parameters are used to make that judgment?As an academic urologist,I had the opportunity to observe urology and general surgery residents in the operating room over several decades.

文摘Objective:The anesthesia residency training system is designed to provide supervised practice,enabling residents to progress from simple to complex procedures and higher-risk patients.However,it remains unclear whether residents acquire sufficient competence to be considered qualified anesthesiologists by the end of their training.This study aimed to evaluate whether anesthesia care provided by supervised CA-5 residents affects postoperative outcomes in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from elderly patients who underwent non-cardiac surgery between January 2020 and December 2021 at Songjiang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.Patients were categorized into two groups:those managed by CA-5 residents(Resident group,n=294)and those managed by attending anesthesiologists(Attending group,n=521).Propensity score matching(PSM;1:1)was used to ensure comparability between the groups.The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital postoperative complications.Secondary outcomes included intraoperative hemodynamic changes,the need for intensive care unit(ICU)admission,length of ICU and hospital stays,and in-hospital mortality.Multivariable logistic regression assessed the adjusted association between anesthesia provider type and postoperative morbidity and mortality.Results:Among the 815 elderly patients included,105(12.9%)experienced postoperative complications and 22(2.7%)died during hospitalization.No significant differences were observed in postoperative complications or mortality between the two groups,either before PSM(morbidity:11.9%vs.13.4%,p=0.531;mortality:3.7%vs.2.1%,p=0.168)or after PSM(morbidity:12.0%vs.14.4%,p=0.392;mortality:3.8%vs.1.4%,p=0.067).Multivariate analysis confirmed that postoperative morbidity and mortality were not significantly associated with resident involvement,either before PSM(morbidity:OR=0.882,95%CI:0.552-1.410,p=0.600;mortality:OR=1.293,95%CI:0.479-3.492,p=0.612)or after PSM(morbidity:OR=0.881,95%CI:0.523-1.486,p=0.636;mortality:OR=3.122,95%CI:0.805-12.106,p=0.100).Conclusions:Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are comparable between those anesthetized by supervised CA-5 residents and those managed by attending anesthesiologists.These results suggest that supervised CA-5 residents do not adversely affect patient safety.

文摘Splashing behavior of metal droplets is one of the main phenomena in basic oxygen furnace steelmaking process.The size distribution of metal droplets and the residence time of the metal droplets in the slag have important effects on the kinetics of the metal–slag reactions.The particle size distribution law,characteristic diameter,splashing velocity and splashing angle of metal droplets were investigated,and an improved prediction model of trajectory and residence time for metal droplets was established based on the combination of expanded droplets theory,decarburization mechanism model and ballistic motion principle.Meanwhile,the trajectory and residence time of metal droplets under different working conditions were analyzed based on this model.The results illustrate that the metal droplets with larger particle size are produced at low lance distance,while the metal droplets with smaller particle size are produced at high lance distance.There is a significant linear relationship between the three diameters(maximum droplet diameter,distribution characteristic diameter,reaction characteristic diameter)and the blowing number.The residence time of decarbonized metal droplets in slag is about 0.2–73 s.Meanwhile,the initial carbon content and diameter of the metal droplets and the FeO content of slag are the main factors affecting the motion state of the metal droplets in the slag,while the splashing velocity,splashing angle and the height of the foam slag have little influence.This model can be used to predict the trajectory and residence time of decarburized metal droplets in a variety of complex multiphase slag conditions,overcoming the limitation that the known model is only applicable to a few specific conditions.

文摘With the rapid development of urbanization,urban environmental degradation has significantly impacted the ecological environment quality of urban residents.This study,taking 10 communities in Hefei as samples,integrates bibliometric analysis(Citespace),vegetation quadrat surveys,and resident satisfaction questionnaires to quantify the implementation pathways of biodiversity,low-carbon society,and therapeutic landscapes in community habitat design.Key findings reveal that the high-carbon-sequestration plant combination of Liriope spicata and Pittosporum tobira can mitigate urban heat island effects,while the aromatic plant assemblage of Cinnamomum camphorum and Osmanthus fragrans demonstrates notable stress-reduction benefits.Monoculture planting,however,leads to reduced pollinator populations.Based on these outcomes,a“4-3-2”design framework is proposed,which stands for 4 ecological indicators(greening rate≥40%,native plants≥60%,non-motorized transport coverage rate 100%,and therapeutic facilities≥2),3 types of spatial strategies(ecological network infiltration,low-carbon travel strategy,and therapeutic landscape creation),and 2 major participation mechanisms(resident environmental council and plant-adoption incentive program).This study provides a quantifiable and operational framework for urban community habitat improvement.
