文摘Persistent luminescence is a unique optical phenomenon that continues to emit light for minutes or even hours after the excitation stops,which can significantly enhance the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio of imaging[1].Among numerous persistent luminescence materials,lanthanide-doped fluoride nanoparticles have shown tunable persistent luminescence across the UV-vis-NIR spectrum(200-1700 nm)under X-ray excitation and adjustable size,promising significant applications in deep-tissue imaging[2,3],security encryption,and data storage[4].In particular,those exhibiting NIR-II luminescence(1000-1700 nm)provide key advantages such as deeper tissue penetration,higher contrast,and minimal interference from biological autofluorescence.However,challenges such as low brightness and rapid signal decay,especially in the NIR-II region,limit their effectiveness in long-term monitoring,including tumor theranostics[5].Traditional approaches like size control and surface passivation yield only marginal improvements,underscoring the need for next-generation nanoparticles with superior NIR-II brightness.

文摘BACKGROUND Postpartum depression(PPD)represents a significant public health concern,adversely affecting both new mothers and their infants.Despite routine early screening,PPD can persist beyond the initial postpartum months,with notably high incidence rates even one year after childbirth.Persistent PPD has been associated with poor developmental outcomes in infants,highlighting the need for continued monitoring and support during this critical period.Understanding the broader impacts of persistent PPD is essential for developing effective interventions to improve maternal and infant well-being.AIM To explore the impact of persistent PPD on infant developmental behavior and maternal self-efficacy.METHODS We recruited 60 postpartum women who experienced persistent depression after childbirth in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2024 as the research subjects.The study collected basic characteristics of both infants and mothers,analyzed the self-efficacy of the mothers and the developmental behaviors of the infants,and conducted a correlation analysis to examine the relationship between postpartum persistent depression in mothers and the developmental behaviors and self-efficacy of infants.The Bootstrap method was used to verify the significance of the mediating effect.RESULTS The basic characteristics of infants and mothers show that 53.33%are male,58.33%are born via vaginal delivery,88.33%have a normal body mass index,51.67%are aged between 25 and 29 years,70%are non-agricultural workers,51.67%have a per capita household income over 4000 yuan,96.67%are full-term births,and 58.33%of the fathers are aged between 26 and 32 years.In terms of infant development behavior,the gross motor skills score is relatively low(38.44±12.15).Regarding maternal self-efficacy,the skill score(45.68±5.49)and mental activity score(46.37±3.72)are both at a low level.Correlation analysis reveals that postpartum persistent depression is significantly negatively correlated with maternal self-efficacy and infant development behavior(β=-0.439,-0.657,P<0.001),while self-efficacy is positively correlated with infant development behavior(β=0.728,P<0.001).The path coefficient and Bootstrap method test indicate that self-efficacy acts as a mediator between postpartum persistent depression and infant development behavior,accounting for 54.80%of the effect(P<0.05),while the direct effect of postpartum persistent depression on infant development behavior is 45.20%(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Persistent PPD significantly negatively impacts infant developmental outcomes,with maternal self-efficacy serving as a partial mediator.These findings suggest that interventions targeting both depressive symptoms and selfenhancement may effectively promote infant health development.

文摘In this work,we studied the persistent photoconductivity(PPC)spectra in single HgTe/CdHgTe quantum wells with different growth parameters and different types of dark conductivity.The studies were performed in a wide radiation quantum energy range of 0.62–3.1 eV both at T=4.2 K and at T=77 K.Common features of the PPC spectra for all structures were revealed,and their relation to the presence of a CdTe cap layer in all structures and the appropriate cadmium fraction in the CdHgTe barrier layers was shown.One of the features was associated with the presence of a deep level in the CdTe layer.In addition,the oscillatory behavior of the PPC spectra in the region from 0.8–1.1 eV to 1.2–1.5 eV was observed.It is associated with the cascade emission of longitudinal optical phonons in CdHgTe barrier.

文摘Advanced Persistent Threats(APTs)represent one of the most complex and dangerous categories of cyber-attacks characterised by their stealthy behaviour,long-term persistence,and ability to bypass traditional detection systems.The complexity of real-world network data poses significant challenges in detection.Machine learning models have shown promise in detecting APTs;however,their performance often suffers when trained on large datasets with redundant or irrelevant features.This study presents a novel,hybrid feature selection method designed to improve APT detection by reducing dimensionality while preserving the informative characteristics of the data.It combines Mutual Information(MI),Symmetric Uncertainty(SU)and Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance(mRMR)to enhance feature selection.MI and SU assess feature relevance,while mRMR maximises relevance and minimises redundancy,ensuring that the most impactful features are prioritised.This method addresses redundancy among selected features,improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the detection model.Experiments on a real-world APT datasets were conducted to evaluate the proposed method.Multiple classifiers including,Random Forest,Support Vector Machine(SVM),Gradient Boosting,and Neural Networks were used to assess classification performance.The results demonstrate that the proposed feature selection method significantly enhances detection accuracy compared to baseline models trained on the full feature set.The Random Forest algorithm achieved the highest performance,with near-perfect accuracy,precision,recall,and F1 scores(99.97%).The proposed adaptive thresholding algorithm within the selection method allows each classifier to benefit from a reduced and optimised feature space,resulting in improved training and predictive performance.This research offers a scalable and classifier-agnostic solution for dimensionality reduction in cybersecurity applications.

文摘Scintillator is a key material for the development of X-ray detectors,which has a promising application in medical imaging,security inspection and industrial non-injury detection.The majority of scintillators currently used in imaging are real-time imaging scintillators,which can cause ionization radiation damage to biological subjects or detection equipment during the imaging process and require complex,highly sensitive detection systems.Therefore,exploring stable,environmentally friendly scintillator materials that can achieve delayed imaging is of significance in the field of imaging.Herein,we devel-oped an X-ray time-lapse imaging scintillator,Sr_(2)Al_(6)O_(11):Dy^(3+)phosphor,which generates stable traps by X-ray irradiation,thus endowing it with excellent persistent luminescence and information storage properties(>42 d).Moreover,traps constructed by X-ray can be repeatedly refilled(>40 times)under UV light and carriers are released in theform of mechanical or thermal excitation when refilling is complete.By constructing the traps in the phosphor during X-ray excitation and using it for repetitive imaging,the detection limit is 74.78 nGy/s,and the spatial imaging resolution is as high as 16 lp/mm.This discovery providesa new idea for the development oftime-delayed X-ray scintillator.

文摘Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangitis(EGPA)is a rare multi-system disease that presents significant diagnostic challenges due to its complexity and low incidence(White and Dubey,2023).It affects males and females equally,though males may exhibit more active disease at diagnosis and often require more aggressive treatment(Liu et al.,2023).The hallmark features of EGPA include delayed-onset asthma,eosinophilia in tissues and blood,and vasculitis affecting small to medium-sized arteries(White and Dubey,2023).EGPA falls under the category of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)-associated vasculitis(AAV),whereas only about half of EGPA patients test positive for ANCA(Khoury et al.,2023).

文摘Ce^(3+),due to its broadband emission,has the potential to serve as a donor ion for energy transfer to achieve the possible efficient tunable multi-emission in materials.However,current related research primarily focuses on photoluminescent(PL)phosphors,while studies on achieving tunable long persistent luminescence(LPL),particularly in glass materials,are insufficient.In this work,Ce-Tb codoped boroaluminate glass was synthesized using a high-temperature melting method under a reducing atmosphere.Under the influence of oxygen vacancy traps induced during the reduction of Ce^(4+)to Ce^(3+),glass samples exhibit an obvious LPL with a broadband center wavelength at 420 nm and a narrowband center wavelength at 547 nm,which correspond well to Ce^(3+)ions'd-f transitions and Tb^(3+)ions'f-f transitions,respectively.A reasonable Ce^(3+)doping amount achieves the optimal trap depth and concentration to enhance LPL intensity and duration.Additionally,it improves the PL intensity of Tb^(3+)by enhancing the energy transfer from Ce^(3+)to Tb^(3+),thereby enabling the glass to exhibit variable LPL colo rs ranging from blue to cyan.Finally,based on the PL and LPL characteristics of the samples,a dynamic encryption anticounterfeiting application is described.

文摘Persistent flows are defined as network flows that persist over multiple time intervals and continue to exhibit activity over extended periods,which are critical for identifying long-term behaviors and subtle security threats.Programmable switches provide line-rate packet processing to meet the requirements of high-speed network environments,yet they are fundamentally limited in computational and memory resources.Accurate and memoryefficient persistent flow detection on programmable switches is therefore essential.However,existing approaches often rely on fixed-window sketches or multiple sketches instances,which either suffer from insufficient temporal precision or incur substantial memory overhead,making them ineffective on programmable switches.To address these challenges,we propose SP-Sketch,an innovative sliding-window-based sketch that leverages a probabilistic update mechanism to emulate slot expiration without maintaining multiple sketch instances.This innovative design significantly reduces memory consumption while preserving high detection accuracy across multiple time intervals.We provide rigorous theoretical analyses of the estimation errors,deriving precise error bounds for the proposed method,and validate our approach through comprehensive implementations on both P4 hardware switches(with Intel Tofino ASIC)and software switches(i.e.,BMv2).Experimental evaluations using real-world traffic traces demonstrate that SP-Sketch outperforms traditional methods,improving accuracy by up to 20%over baseline sliding window approaches and enhancing recall by 5%compared to non-sliding alternatives.Furthermore,SP-Sketch achieves a significant reduction in memory utilization,reducing memory consumption by up to 65%compared to traditional methods,while maintaining a robust capability to accurately track persistent flow behavior over extended time periods.

文摘Objective:Although there is evidence to support the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on allergic rhinitis(AR),it is not clear whether acupuncture can achieve an efficacy comparable to that of pharmacological therapy.This multicenter,non-inferiority,single-blinded randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the differences in efficacy between warm needling(WN)therapy and loratadine(LO)in improving AR symptoms and quality of life.Methods:A total of 98 patients with persistent AR(PAR)were randomly divided into two groups in a 1:1 ratio:treatment group receiving WN therapy at Dazhui(GV14)and normal acupuncture at other acupoints for 12 sessions in 4 weeks and control group receiving LO at a dosage of 10 mg/day for oral administration.The study duration was 28 weeks(4-week treatment period with a 24-week follow-up).The primary outcome was the mean change in the Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS)from baseline to week 28,and the secondary outcomes included the Total Non-Nasal Symptom Score(TNNSS)and the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire(RQLQ)score.Statistical analyses were conducted us-ing SPSS22.0.Both intention-to-treat and treatment compliance analyses were performed to analyze all outcomes.Results:After intervention,TNSS scores improved from baseline to week 28 by 5.18(95%confidence interval[CI]:3.91,6.45;P<0.001)in the WN group and 4.59(95%CI 3.28,5.89;P<0.001)in the LO group,but the changes did not differ between the groups(P=0.515).The margin by 95%CI(−1.20,2.38)was not reached,indicating non-inferiority.WN therapy resulted in clinical improvements in TNNSS,with a significant difference com pared with LO treatment(f=5.466,P=0.021).WN therapy also resulted in clinical improvements in RQLQ scores,with a significant difference compared with LO(f=9.222,P=0.003).Conclusions:WN therapy demonstrated comparable efficacy to oral LO in improving nasal symptoms of PAR.However,it showed superior effects in alleviating concomitant nasal symptoms and enhancing patients’quality of life.

文摘Persistent Luminescence(PersL)materials,which use traps to store energy and emit photons over a long period,have found important applications in the fields of optical information storage,security labeling,and biological imaging.The trap depth is a crucial factor determining the performance of these materials;however,achieving the desired trap depth with high precision remains a great challenge.Here,we provide double perovskite phosphors(Cs_(2)SnCl_(6)-Cs_(2)ZrCl_(6)-Cs_(2)HfCl_(6)series)with highly compatible crystal structures,enabling continuous and precise tuning of trap depth over an ultra-wide range of 0.11-1.25 eV.By incorporating W4+as the luminescent centers,these phosphors exhibit outstanding near-infrared(NIR)PersL performance at approximately 900 nm and a lasting emission duration exceeding 10 h.The underlying mechanism of PersL is elucidated,and the wide-range tunability of trap depth is attributed to the universal applicability of band-gap engineering in the entire material system.Furthermore,we demonstrate the practical application of these materials by designing a flexible detector plate for X-ray imaging.The detector plate exhibits a storage time of more than 1 week,a detection limit of 0.83μGyair·s^(-1)in the near-infrared region,and real-time and delay-time imaging resolutions of 14.2 lp·mm^(-1)and 2.5 lp·mm^(-1),respectively.These attributes demonstrate strong potential for X-ray luminescence extension imaging.

文摘The Sichuan Basin(SCB),China has a high incidence of extremely persistent heavy rainfall(EPHR)events.The EPHR events from 2009 to 2019 in the SCB were mainly concentrated over the northern and northwestern windward slopes and the central basin.They occurred from June to September,but especially in July,and peaked at 0300 LST.ERA5 reanalysis data and objective classification were used to investigate the synoptic patterns and their effects.There were three synoptic patterns during EPHR events,all accompanied by a Southwest Vortex.The location and intensity of the Southwest Vortex,thermal forcing of the Tibetan Plateau(TP),and low-level winds can greatly affect the intensity and spatial distribution of EPHR.When the Southwest Vortex was located in the western SCB and there were southerly low-level jets(LLJs),convergence and upslope wind would lead to EPHR over the northwestern or northern windward slopes.If there was no LLJ and the whole SCB was under the center of the Southwest Vortex,nocturnal EPHR was controlled by the internal circulation of the Southwest Vortex and the updraft generated by the thermal forcing of the TP,and the rainfall was weaker.The southeastern entrance of the SCB was a key area where the low-level wind dominated the nocturnal peak of EPHR.The nocturnal strengthened southeasterly wind in the key area is attributable to inertial oscillation,and the topographic friction plays an essential role in transporting momentum and moisture into the basin by generating easterly and northeasterly ageostrophic winds.
文摘Background Persistent pulmonary hypertension(PPHN)of the newborn is one of the major contributors to neonatal mortality.Current conventional treatments for PPHN primarily encompass mechanical ventilation,inhaled nitric oxide(iNO),sildenafil,and magnesium sulfate.In confirmed cases of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,pulmonary surfactant(PS)can be considered as a potential treatment option;However,the optimal dosage and administration frequency of PS remain subjects of ongoing debate.This study aimed to assess the efficacy of early repeated endotracheal PS administration combined with iNO therapy in the management of newborns with PPHN.Methods Twenty-three neonates with PPHN received iNO alongside foundational treatments,including anti-infection therapy,mechanical ventilation,acidosis correction,and blood pressure stabilization.The observation group(n=13)received endotracheal instillation of PS three times,with each administration spaced six hours apart;The control group(n=10)received endotracheal instillation of PS once.Parameters compared included blood gas indices,oxygenation index(OI),alveolar-arterial oxygen partial pressure difference(PA-aDO,),pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PAP),and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-pro-BNP).Mechanical ventilation duration,oxygen therapy time,hospitalization length,and survival outcomes were recorded and compared between groups.Results The blood gas parameters,OI,and PA-aDO,showed no significant differences between the two groups of children before treatment(P>0.05).By 24-hour post-treatment,both groups exhibited significant increases in partial pressure of oxygen(PaO,)and potential of hydrogen(PH)levels,alongside significant decreases in lactate,partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO,),OI,and PA-aDO2,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).By 48-hour post-treatment,the observation group demonstrated significantly better improvements in blood gas parameters,OI,and PA-aDO,compared to the control group,and these differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in PAP and NT-pro-BNP levels between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,both groups showed significant decreases in PAP and NT-pro-BNP levels(P<0.05),with a more pronounced reduction observed in the observation group(P<0.05).The observation group had significantly shorter durations of mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy compared to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Additionally,the observation group exhibited a shorter total hospital stay and a lower mortality rate than the control group,though these differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusions Early consecutive multiple doses of PS combined with iNO,compared to a single dose,better improves respiratory function indices,maintains stability,reduces pulmonary artery pressure,enhances cardiac function,shortens ventilator dependency,and increases cure rates in PPHN neonates.This approach is particularly suitable for severe PPHN cases,especially those with underlying pulmonary conditions.

文摘Persistent physical symptom(PPS)is a common condition in sub‐healthy population and patients with chronic disease,and significantly influences the quality of life.Many PPS cannot be explained by any known disease,and thereby are attributed to socio‐psychological reasons and treated by psychological interventions,such as cognitive behavior treatment.However,it is not ideal to rationalize and manage the PPS lack of pathophysiological explanation relying on psychological approaches.The entrenched disease‐centered biomedical mode limits the perception of PPS.Traditional medicine is a unique methodology of medicine independent from biomedical mode.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),achieved knowledge of health and disease from extensive observation and developed theoretical framework based on ancient mathematics using the principles of ancient naive materialism and dialectical materialism,has amassed extensive experience in symptom management.Particularly,the system of body constitution in TCM serves a reference model of evidence‐based integration of traditional and modern medicine in healthcare,and offers a promising approach for managing PPS.Nine types of body constitution were identified and validated through a series of scientific research.Individuals with a specific type of body constitution tend to present a corresponding cluster of symptoms,physical signs,disease susceptibility and prognosis.Adjustment of unhealthy constitution helps the symptom control and disease management.Standardized protocol of body constitution classification was established as an industry standard,and that of body constitution adjustment was compiled as clinical guidelines for quality control.Taken together,such evidence‐based integration of traditional medicine with modern medicine provides new avenues for managing PPS effectively.

文摘Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV)is the core pathogenic factor of cervical cancer(CC).Although HPV vaccination is an effective primary prevention method for CC,the global vaccination rate is generally insufficient(target population vaccination rate in China<5%),far from meeting the requirements for herd immunity(80%)and the WHO target(90%).However,only about 10% of HR-HPV infections progress to persistent infections.Therefore,identifying and intervening in the“HR-HPV persistent infection”population can systematically narrow the scope of prevention and control,reduce prevention and control costs,and provide a new path for low-income countries to explore suitable prevention and control models for CC.Based on this understanding,the team has pioneered a systematic method for identifying HR-HPV persistent infections and a tiered intervention system based on drug classification,which has achieved good results in both basic research and clinical observations.This article will summarize the current research status of“HR-HPV persistent infection”in relation to CIN and CC,as well as the team’s relevant concepts and research results,to provide a reference for the identification and intervention of“HR-HPV persistent infection.”

文摘The dysbiosis of oral microbiota contributes to diseases such as periodontitis and certain cancers by triggering the host inflammatory response.Developing methods for the immediate and sensitive identification of oral microorganism is crucial for the rapid diagnosis and early interventions of associated diseases.Traditional methods for microbial detection primarily include the plate culturing,polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,which are either time-consuming or laborious.Herein,we reported a persistent luminescence-encoded multiple-channel optical sensing array and achieved the rapid and accurate identification of oral-derived microorganisms.Our results demonstrate that electrostatic attractions and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions dominate the binding of the persistent luminescent nanoprobes to oral microorganisms and the microbial identification process can be finished within 30 min.Specifically,a total of 7 oral-derived microorganisms demonstrate their own response patterns and were differentiated by linear discriminant analysis(LDA)with the accuracy up to 100%both in the solution and artificial saliva samples.Moreover,the persistent luminescence encoded array sensor could also discern the microorganism mixtures with the accuracy up to 100%.The proposed persistent luminescence encoding sensor arrays in this work might offer new ideas for rapid and accurate oralderived microorganism detection,and provide new ways for disease diagnosis associated with microbial metabolism.

文摘For the last few decades,there has been extensive research on the materials that persist to emit optical radiation long after any type of charging has stopped.Most of the established persistent luminescence(PersL)materials emit light in the visible part of the spectrum;however,in recent years,there has been a growing interest in UV-emitting persistent phosphors in recent years.These materials have been tested for various applications,such as photocatalysis,sterilization,and anti-counterfeiting,among others.Here,we report on the X-ray and UV-activated UV-A long PersL of Ce^(3+)-doped Sr_(3)MgSi_(2)O_(8) material.We prepared samples with varied Ce^(3+)concentrations using solid-state reaction synthesis in an ambient atmosphere and conducted a thorough investigation using photoluminescence(PL),electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR),and thermally stimulated luminescence(TSL)spectroscopy methods.Our experiments show that the PersL signal of Ce^(3+)in the 300-450 nm range can be detected for at least 16 h when samples are irradiated with X-rays or UV.The TSL analysis reveals multiple discrete charge traps in the material with activation energies between 0.5 and 1.7 eV.Further EPR measurements confirm the presence of four paramagnetic centers.The thermal stability of these centers was analyzed,and it is established that one of these centers(g_(1)=2.0056,g_(2)=1.9981,and g_(3)=1.9926)gradually decays at room temperature,which is correlated with the PersL processes.
