This is by triggering the release of proinflammatory mediators from local and invading cells that induce inflammation and nociceptive neuron hyperexcitability. Even without apparent inflammation, injury sites are associated with increased inflammatory markers. This review focuses on how it might be possible to reduce neuropathic pain by reducing inflammation. Physiologically, pain is resolved by a combination of the out-migration of pro-inflammatory cells from the injury site, the down-regulation of the genes underlying the inflammation, up-regulating genes for anti-inflammatory mediators, and reducing nociceptive neuron hyperexcitability. While various techniques reduce chronic neuropathic pain, the best are effective on < 50% of patients, no technique reliably or permanently eliminates neuropathic pain. This is because most techniques are predominantly aimed at reducing pain, not inflammation. In addition, while single factors reduce pain, increasing evidence indicates significant and longer-lasting pain relief requires multiple factors acting simultaneously. Therefore, it is not surprising that extensive data indicate that the application of platelet-rich plasma provides more significant and longer-lasting pain suppression than other techniques, although its analgesia is neither complete nor permanent. However, several case reports indicate that platelet-rich plasma can induce permanent neuropathic pain elimination when the platelet concentration is significantly increased and is applied to longer nerve lengths. This review examines the primary triggers of the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain and techniques that reduce chronic neuropathic pain. The application of plateletrich plasma holds great promise for providing complete and permanent chronic neuropathic pain elimination.展开更多

The synthesis of cyclopropanone ketals via double defluorination of gem-difluorinated cyclo-propanesunder transition-metal free and basic conditions has been developed. A broad range of gem-difluorinated cyclopro-panesand alcohols are amenable in present reaction to permit the synthesis of corresponding products in high yields. The reaction is elucidated to proceed via elimination and addition other than direct substitution based on the mechanistic studies. This transformation not only provides a new strategy for the construction of cyclopropanone ketals, but also reveals a new paradigm on C—F bond transformation without ring-opening of gem-difluorinated cyclopropanes.展开更多

文摘Internal multiples are commonly present in seismic data due to variations in velocity or density of subsurface media.They can reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic data and degrade the quality of the image.With the development of seismic exploration into deep and ultradeep events,especially those from complex targets in the western region of China,the internal multiple eliminations become increasingly challenging.Currently,three-dimensional(3D)seismic data are primarily used for oil and gas target recognition and drilling.Effectively eliminating internal multiples in 3D seismic data of complex structures and mitigating their adverse effects is crucial for enhancing the success rate of drilling.In this study,we propose an internal multiple prediction algorithm for 3D seismic data in complex structures using the Marchenko autofocusing theory.This method can predict the accurate internal multiples of time difference without an accurate velocity model and the implementation process mainly consists of several steps.Firstly,simulating direct waves with a 3D macroscopic velocity model.Secondly,using direct waves and 3D full seismic acquisition records to obtain the upgoing and down-going Green's functions between the virtual source point and surface.Thirdly,constructing internal multiples of the relevant layers by upgoing and downgoing Green's functions.Finally,utilizing the adaptive matching subtraction method to remove predicted internal multiples from the original data to obtain seismic records without multiples.Compared with the two-dimensional(2D)Marchenko algo-rithm,the performance of the 3D Marchenko algorithm for internal multiple prediction has been significantly enhanced,resulting in higher computational accuracy.Numerical simulation test results indicate that our proposed method can effectively eliminate internal multiples in 3D seismic data,thereby exhibiting important theoretical and industrial application value.

文摘The hydraulic fractures induced in soft coal composite reservoirs have complex extension and energy evolution characteristics.In this study,the mechanism whereby gas outbursts can be eliminated by hydraulic fracturing was revealed.The combined fracturing process of a coal seam and its roof under different in situ stress and fracture spacing conditions was analysed through true triaxial physical tests and numerical simulations.The results showed that the pre-fracturing of the roof had a pressure relief effect on the coal seam,and the secondary pressure relief of the coal seam could be completed at a lower fracture initiation pressure.To ensure the continued presence of the stress shadow effect in actual projects,the fracture spacing should be maintained within the critical range influencing the fracture extension.If the vertical stress is high,a call on increasing the fracture spacing can be taken;otherwise,it must be reduced.In the early phase of fracturing,energy is mostly concentrated at the tip and surface of the fracture;however,the proportion of surface energy for subsequent fracturing is gradually reduced,and the energy is mostly used to open the formation and work on the surrounding matrix.Hydraulic fracturing creates new fractures to interconnect originally heterogeneously distributed gas zones,enabling the entire coal seam to first establish interconnected pressure equilibration,then undergo gradientcontrolled depressurization.Hydraulic fracturing can homogenize the stress field and gas pressure field in the original coal seam via communication pressure equalization and reduction decompression,reduce the elastic and extension energies,increase the minimum failure energy required for instability;and realize the elimination of gas outbursts.Our findings provide some theoretical support for the efficient development of coalbed methane and the prevention and control of dynamic gas disasters in coal mines.
文摘The excessive use of artificial intelligence(AI)algorithms has caused the problem of errors in AI algorithms,which has challenged the fairness of decision-making,and has intensified people’s inequality.Therefore,it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and propose corresponding error detection and error elimination methods.This paper first proposes the root causes and threats of bias in AI algorithms,then summarizes the existing bias detection and error elimination methods,and proposes a bias processing framework in three-level dimensions of data,models,and conclusions,aiming to provide a framework for a comprehensive solution to errors in algorithms.At the same time,it also summarizes the problems and challenges in existing research and makes a prospect for future research trends.It is hoped that it will be helpful for us to build fairer AI.

文摘China has achieved the poverty reduction goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule,contributing significantly to global poverty reduction.Despite extended efforts in poverty elimination,there is a lack of quantitative studies categorizing and comparing poverty-elimination counties(PECs)based on their processes.This study proposes an innovative framework for analyzing PECs’development paths from the perspective of population-land-industry(PLI).We quantify the PLI matching degree of PECs in China during the critical phase of the battle against poverty through a multivariate matching model,classify PECs via K-means clustering according to the consistency in PLI matching degree evolution,and summarize the typical development patterns of PECs.Results indicate that the PLI matching degree of PECs in China increased substantially from 2015 to 2020,particularly in eastern areas,while the western region,including the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and southwestern Xinjiang,shows untapped potential for improvement.Five types of PECs are identified,with the majority(30.1%)showing sustained moderate PLI matching and a minority(9.6%)experiencing long-term PLI mismatch.Industry is the shortfall of various PECs,and effective strategies to facilitate all types of PECs include the development of emerging businesses and the expansion of secondary and tertiary industries.Additionally,enriching rural labor force and increasing farmland use efficiency are essential for optimal PLI matching and positive interaction,ultimately ensuring poverty elimination and sustainable development.

文摘Intrusion detection systems play a vital role in cyberspace security.In this study,a network intrusion detection method based on the feature selection algorithm(FSA)and a deep learning model is developed using a fusion of a recursive feature elimination(RFE)algorithm and a bidirectional gated recurrent unit(BGRU).Particularly,the RFE algorithm is employed to select features from high-dimensional data to reduce weak correlations between features and remove redundant features in the numerical feature space.Then,a neural network that combines the BGRU and multilayer perceptron(MLP)is adopted to extract deep intrusion behavior features.Finally,a support vector machine(SVM)classifier is used to classify intrusion behaviors.The proposed model is verified by experiments on the NSL-KDD dataset.The results indicate that the proposed model achieves a 90.25%accuracy and a 97.51%detection rate in binary classification and outperforms other machine learning and deep learning models in intrusion classification.The proposed method can provide new insight into network intrusion detection.
