Previous studies have highlighted the impact ofdonor and recipient demographics in influencing post-transplant outcomes. Webelieve that patient and graft outcomes in a tertiary university hospital setting willhave no difference between pairs of standard criteria vs pairs of extended criteria(EC) donors and recipients in LDKT.AIMTo investigate the outcomes of allocating EC donation (ECD) kidneys to ECrecipients (ECR) in LDKT and compare them to standard and mixed standard andEC pair counterparts.METHODSWe collected data from adult LDKTs conducted between April 2017 and April2022. Donor-recipient pairs were grouped based on criteria as follows: (1) Group1: Standard criteria donor (SCD) to standard criteria recipient (SCR);(2) Group 2:SCD to ECR;(3) Group 3: ECD to SCR;and (4) Group 4: ECD to ECR.RESULTSA total of 149 living donor transplants were analysed over a 5-year period. Graftsurvival, patient survival, and graft function were similar across all four groups.The incidence of common postoperative complications was as follows: (1) Perioperative bleeding (5.6%);(2) Surgical site infection (6.8%);and (3) Incisional hernia (7.4%). No statistically significantdifferences were found in patient or graft outcomes amongst the four groups. Multivariate analysis showed thatgroup 4 recipients might experience inferior 5-year graft function (β = -11.8, P = 0.037) when compared with group1.CONCLUSIONIn LDKT, long-term patient and graft outcomes are comparable amongst different combinations of standard vs ECdonors and recipients. These findings show the primary potential of living donor ECD to ECR kidney transplantationwith satisfying outcomes.展开更多

文摘With respect to oceanic fluid dynamics,certain models have appeared,e.g.,an extended time-dependent(3+1)-dimensional shallow water wave equation in an ocean or a river,which we investigate in this paper.Using symbolic computation,we find out,on one hand,a set of bilinear auto-Backlund transformations,which could connect certain solutions of that equation with other solutions of that equation itself,and on the other hand,a set of similarity reductions,which could go from that equation to a known ordinary differential equation.The results in this paper depend on all the oceanic variable coefficients in that equation.
文摘Liver transplantation(LT)has made significant progress in the treatment of end stage liver disease(ESLD).However,many patients still die from disease progression while awaiting transplantation.As the number of patients on LT waiting lists is increasing,and the organ shortage crisis is obvious,various efforts have been made to increase the pool of available liver grafts[1].In addition to living donor liver transplantation(LDLT),improving the utilization rate of extended criteria donor(ECD)livers is an important way.However,under traditional cold storage,ECD livers are usually associated with a higher risk of ischemic biliary disease,early allograft dysfunction(EAD)or even primary nonfunction(PNF).The frequently described definition in the literature for ECD grafts generally includes elderly,steatotic,long cold ischemia time(CIT),grafts obtained from donation after circulatory death(DCD),split liver grafts,donors with increased risk of infectious disease transmission and prolonged donor intensive care unit stay[2].
文摘In order to explore the mechanism of improving the surface wettability of low-energy polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)by new extended surfactants,five kinds of extended anionic surfactants with different numbers of oxypropylene(PO)and oxyethylene(EO),octadecyl-(PO)_(m)-(EO)_(n)-sodium carboxylate(C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C,m=5,10,15,n=5,10,15),were studied.The surface tension and contact angle of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C solution with different concentrations were measured,and the adhesion tension,PTFE-water interfacial tension,and adhesion work were calculated.It was found that the extended surfactant molecules adsorb on the surface of the solution and the PTFE-liquid interface simultaneously when the concentration is lower than the critical micelle concentration(cmc),and there was a linear relationship between surface tension and adhesion tension.The adsorption amount of C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C at the PTFE-water interface was significantly lower than that on the surface of the solution.As the concentration increases above cmc,semi-micelle aggregates on the surface of PTFE are formed by C_(18)PO_(m)EO_(n)C molecules through hydrophobic interaction,and the hydrophilic group faces the solution to modify the surface of PTFE with high efficiency.
文摘The concept of emissivity has been with the scientific and engineering world since Planck formulated his blackbody radiation law more than a century ago.Nevertheless,emissivity is an elusive concept even for ex⁃perts.It is a vague and fuzzy concept for the wider community of engineers.The importance of remote sensing of temperature by measuring IR radiation has been recognized in a wide range of industrial,medical,and environ⁃mental uses.One of the major sources of errors in IR radiometry is the emissivity of the surface being measured.In real experiments,emissivity may be influenced by many factors:surface texture,spectral properties,oxida⁃tion,and aging of surfaces.While commercial blackbodies are prevalent,the much-needed grey bodies with a known emissivity,are unavailable.This study describes how to achieve a calibrated and stable emissivity with a blackbody,a perforated screen,and a reliable and linear novel IR thermal sensor,18 dubbed TMOS.The Digital TMOS is now a low-cost commercial product,it requires low power,and it has a small form factor.The method⁃ology is based on two-color measurements,with two different optical filters,with selected wavelengths conform⁃ing to the grey body definition of the use case under study.With a photochemically etched perforated screen,the effective emissivity of the screen is simply the hole density area of the surface area that emits according to the blackbody temperature radiation.The concept is illustrated with ray tracing simulations,which demonstrate the approach.Measured results are reported.

文摘In this paper,a new technique is introduced to construct higher-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems.The order of convergence of some iterative methods can be improved by three at the cost of introducing only one additional evaluation of the function in each step.Furthermore,some new efficient methods with a higher-order of convergence are obtained by using only a single matrix inversion in each iteration.Analyses of convergence properties and computational efficiency of these new methods are made and testified by several numerical problems.By comparison,the new schemes are more efficient than the corresponding existing ones,particularly for large problem sizes.

文摘In this paper,a scheme of commonly-resonated extended interaction circuit system based on high order TMn,mode is proposed to lock the phases of two extended interaction oscillators(EIOs)for generating high power at G-band.Two separate EIOs are coupled through a specific single-gap coupling field supported by a designed gap waveguide with length Lg,which form the phase-locked EIOs based on the commonly-resonated system.As a whole system,the system has been focused on with mode analysis based on different single-gap coupling fields,mode hopping,which present the variation of phase difference between the two-beam-wave interactions when changing Lg.To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed circuit system in producing the phase locking,we conducted particle-in-cell(PIC)simulations to show that the interesting mode hopping occurs with the phase difference of O and r between the output signals from two output ports,corresponding to the excitation of the TMn mode with different n.Simulation results show that 1)the oscillator can deliver two times of the output power obtained from one single oscillator at 220 GHz,2)the two EIOs can still deliver output signals with phase difference of O and when the currents of the two beams are different or the fabrication errors of the two EIO cavities are taken into account.The proposed scheme is promising in extending to phase locking between multiple EIOs,and generating higher power at millimeter-wave and higher frequencies.

文摘When the proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)system is running,there will be a condition that does not require power output for a short time.In order to achieve zero power output under low power consumption,it is necessary to consider the diversity of control targets and the complexity of dynamic models,which brings the challenge of high-precision tracking control of the stack output power and cathode intake flow.For system idle speed control,a modelbased nonlinear control framework is constructed in this paper.Firstly,the nonlinear dynamic model of output power and cathode intake flow is derived.Secondly,a control scheme combining nonlinear extended Kalman filter observer and state feedback controller is designed.Finally,the control scheme is verified on the PEMFC experimental platform and compared with the proportion-integration-differentiation(PID)controller.The experimental results show that the control strategy proposed in this paper can realize the idle speed control of the fuel cell system and achieve the purpose of zero power output.Compared with PID controller,it has faster response speed and better system dynamics.
文摘BACKGROUND Tofacitinib is an oral,selective Janus kinase inhibitor that is approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC).The 8-week induction protocol involves the administration of 10 mg twice daily(bid)with the possibility of extending the induction period to 16 weeks.The maintenance dose of tofacitinib is either 5 mg or 10 mg bid.AIM To assess predictors for clinical remission and drug persistence in patients with UC receiving the extended induction tofacitinib protocol.METHODS This was a real-world multicenter retrospective study in patients with moderateto-severe UC.Patients received physician-directed extended induction tofacitinib treatment.We collected clinical and demographic data at baseline and data regarding clinical,laboratory,and endoscopic evaluations,therapeutic modifications,and adverse events at the 52-week follow-up.Possible predictors for clinical remission at week 52 was the primary endpoint.Differences between patients receiving 5 mg bid vs 10 mg bid at week 52 and identification of predictors for treatment persistence were secondary endpoints.RESULTS Thirty-seven consecutive patients from 11 medical centers were included[51.4%males with median age 39(17-64)years].Twenty-eight patients continued treatment until week 52(75.7%)with 67.9%receiving 10 mg tofacitinib;all had prior history of biologic use.We observed that 57.1%of patients achieved clinical remission(66.7%in the 5 mg tofacitinib group and 52.6%in the 10 mg tofacitinib group,P=0.483).De-escalation to 5 mg tofacitinib was attempted in 17 patients with a success rate of 52.9%.Prior biologic use was significantly more frequent in patients treated with 10 mg tofacitinib.Active smoking was significantly associated with treatment discontinuation at week 52.We identified eight adverse events,and only one led to treatment discontinuation.CONCLUSION Our results supported the extended induction strategy with tofacitinib in selected patients with UC.Patients with prior failure of advanced therapies particularly benefitted,highlighting the importance of personalized maintenance regimens.
文摘BACKGROUND Extended care based on self-efficacy theory to elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures will provide data reference to optimize the care plan of these patients,reduce patients’concurrent mental diseases,and improve prognosis.AIM To analyze the value of extended nursing based on the self-efficacy theory in older patients with intertrochanteric fractures.METHODS Older patients with intertrochanteric fractures(n=88)admitted to our hospital between January 2021 and December 2024 were randomly divided into two groups-the control group(n=44,routine nursing)and the observation group(n=44,extended nursing)-via balloting and treated for 12 weeks.The mental state,pain severity,limb function,and self-nursing ability of all patients before and after nursing were analyzed.RESULTS After nursing,the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale scores of patients in the two groups improved.Notably,Hamilton Anxiety Scale and General Self-Efficacy Scale scores in the observation group were lower and higher,respectively,than those in the control group(P<0.05).The pain severity in the observation group(2.64±0.22)was lower than that in the control group(2.85±0.41)(P<0.05).The recovery rate of limb function was higher in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).In addition,the self-nursing ability scores of the patients in both groups increased,with a significantly higher score in the observation group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Extended nursing based on the self-efficacy theory can significantly improve mental state,relieve pain,and promote the recovery of limb function and self-nursing ability in older patients with intertrochanteric fractures.
文摘BACKGROUNDLiving donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) is considered the gold standard fortreating end-stage kidney disease. Previous studies have highlighted the impact ofdonor and recipient demographics in influencing post-transplant outcomes. Webelieve that patient and graft outcomes in a tertiary university hospital setting willhave no difference between pairs of standard criteria vs pairs of extended criteria(EC) donors and recipients in LDKT.AIMTo investigate the outcomes of allocating EC donation (ECD) kidneys to ECrecipients (ECR) in LDKT and compare them to standard and mixed standard andEC pair counterparts.METHODSWe collected data from adult LDKTs conducted between April 2017 and April2022. Donor-recipient pairs were grouped based on criteria as follows: (1) Group1: Standard criteria donor (SCD) to standard criteria recipient (SCR);(2) Group 2:SCD to ECR;(3) Group 3: ECD to SCR;and (4) Group 4: ECD to ECR.RESULTSA total of 149 living donor transplants were analysed over a 5-year period. Graftsurvival, patient survival, and graft function were similar across all four groups.The incidence of common postoperative complications was as follows: (1) Perioperative bleeding (5.6%);(2) Surgical site infection (6.8%);and (3) Incisional hernia (7.4%). No statistically significantdifferences were found in patient or graft outcomes amongst the four groups. Multivariate analysis showed thatgroup 4 recipients might experience inferior 5-year graft function (β = -11.8, P = 0.037) when compared with group1.CONCLUSIONIn LDKT, long-term patient and graft outcomes are comparable amongst different combinations of standard vs ECdonors and recipients. These findings show the primary potential of living donor ECD to ECR kidney transplantationwith satisfying outcomes.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of the Tecnis Symfony ZXR00 lens in achieving optimal visual outcomes for cataract surgery patients with axial length(AL)shorter than 24 mm.METHODS:A total of 21 subjects(37 eyes)were submitted to cataract surgery and implantation of Tecnis Symfony ZXR00 lens(Johnson&Johnson Vision)was assessed.Patients were examined at 5 m,80 cm,and 40 cm for uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA)and corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA),uncorrected intermediate(UCIVA),and uncorrected near visual acuity(UCNVA).Further,based on the optimal distance correction,the monocular defocusing curve in the range of+0.5 to-3.5 D was investigated.A simple patient-reported spectacle independence questionnaire(PRSIQ)was used to evaluate subjects’subjective feelings about their dependence on glasses at various distances.Multiple linear regression was employed to examine the association amony intraocular lenses(IOLs)diopter,AL,corneal curvature,anterior chamber depth,mean manifest refractive spherical equivalent,pupil,pupil/scan,target refraction,and near vision(logMAR).RESULTS:The study demonstrated enhanced UCNVA alongside comparable distant vision and UCIVA outcomes in eyes with AL shorter than 24 mm.Mean post-operative UCDVA significantly improved from preoperative levels 0.530±0.406(P=0.000).Notably,83.3%of eyes achieved 0.01 logMAR in UCNVA.Five unilateral cases with blended IOL implantation also showed satisfactory visual acuity and satisfaction.The 90.5%(19/21)achieved spectacle independence.The average score for self-reported spectacle-independence on the PRSIQ was 3.52 with a standard deviation of 0.98.The results of the regression analysis revealed that one predictor,the pupil/scan accounted for 27.6%of the variation in near vision[logMAR;F(1,35)=13.33,P<0.01].CONCLUSION:The results affirm the effectiveness of the Tecnis Symfony ZXR00 lens in enhancing visual outcomes for cataract surgery patients with AL shorter than 24 mm.Additionally,the pupil/scan emerges as a critical factor influencing postoperative near vision.
文摘AIM:To assess visual outcomes and satisfaction of a non-diffractive extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens(IOL)in individuals with ocular hypertension(OHT)and well-controlled mild glaucoma undergoing cataract surgery.METHODS:An investigator-initiated,single-center,prospective,interventional,noncomparative study conducted in Montreal,Canada.The study enrolled 31 patients(55 eyes)with OHT or mild glaucoma who received a non-diffractive EDOF IOL(Acrysof IQ Vivity).Participants underwent sequential cataract surgery with the Vivity IOL.Follow-up evaluations occurred at 1d,1,and 3mo postoperatively,assessing uncorrected distance,intermediate,and near visual acuity.Questionnaires(QUVID:Questionnaire for visual disturbances and IOLSAT:Intraocular lens satisfaction)were administered pre and post-operatively to measure visual disturbances and spectacle independence in various lighting.Safety parameters included intraocular pressure(IOP),glaucoma medications,spherical equivalence,mean deviation and pattern standard deviation or square root of lost variance on Octopus visual field.RESULTS:At 1 and 3mo postoperatively,significant improvements were observed in uncorrected distance and intermediate visual acuity.Spectacle independence was enhanced for distance and intermediate vision,especially in bright light settings.Spectacle-free intermediate vision was improved even in dim lighting.Visual disturbances,particularly glare symptoms,were reduced,and there was a notable decrease in IOP and glaucoma medication burden at 3mo.There was more hazy vision postoperatively with no impact on visual acuity and visual satisfaction.CONCLUSION:The non-diffractive EDOF lens improves distance and intermediate spectacle-free visual function in patients with OHT and well-controlled glaucoma.The findings highlight significant improvements in visual acuity,reduced glare,enhanced spectacle independence,and improved visual performance in different lighting conditions.

文摘Metaverse technologies are increasingly promoted as game-changers in transport planning,connectedautonomous mobility,and immersive traveler services.However,the field lacks a systematic review of what has been achieved,where critical technical gaps remain,and where future deployments should be integrated.Using a transparent protocol-driven screening process,we reviewed 1589 records and retained 101 peer-reviewed journal and conference articles(2021–2025)that explicitly frame their contributions within a transport-oriented metaverse.Our reviewreveals a predominantly exploratory evidence base.Among the 101 studies reviewed,17(16.8%)apply fuzzymulticriteria decision-making,36(35.6%)feature digital-twin visualizations or simulation-based testbeds,9(8.9%)present hardware-in-the-loop or field pilots,and only 4(4.0%)report performance metrics such as latency,throughput,or safety under realistic network conditions.Over time,the literature evolves fromearly conceptual sketches(2021–2022)through simulation-centered frameworks(2023)to nascent engineering prototypes(2024–2025).To clarify persistent gaps,we synthesize findings into four foundational layers—geometry and rendering,distributed synchronization,cryptographic integrity,and human factors—enumerating essential algorithms(homogeneous 4×4 transforms,Lamport clocks,Raft consensus,Merkle proofs,sweep-and-prune collision culling,Q-learning,and real-time ergonomic feedback loops).A worked bus-fleet prototype illustrates how blockchain-based ticketing,reinforcement learning-optimized traffic signals,and extended reality dispatch can be integrated into a live digital twin.This prototype is supported by a threephase rollout strategy.Advancing the transport metaverse from blueprint to operation requires open data schemas,reproducible edge–cloud performance benchmarks,cross-disciplinary cyber-physical threat models,and city-scale sandboxes that apply their mathematical foundations in real-world settings.

文摘The undercurrent research survey explores the roles of nonlocality and strain gradient size dependencies in nonlinear asymmetric buckling of shallow nanoscale arches having dissimilar end conditions through a numerical analysis.The arches,made from a functionally graded graphene nanofiller reinforced composite(FG-GNRC),are subjected to discretional radial concentrated loads along with converting of temperature.To account for the size dependencies,the exploration is carried out stemming from the nonlocal strain gradient theory(NSGT)in the sense of a quasi-2D parabolic shear flexible concept of curved beam.The material properties of the contemplated FG-GNRC sandwich are determined using the modified Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model.Subsequently,an extended isogeometric analysis(XIGA)is manipulated comprising insertion plus multiplication of knots to achieve the demanded lower continuity allocated to the integration between flexural and tangential reflexes.It is perceived that the both softening and stiffening concomitants assigned to the salient concentrated radial loads obtained by the developed NSGT-based XIGA diminish from the first upper limit to the second one,and then likewise from the first lower limit to the second one.Although,by becoming the upsurge in temperature higher,these softening and stiffening concomitants get more remarkable.
