This study investigates the performance of distinct GNSS constellations in determining the precise location of a building utilizing a high-precision GNSS receiver. The receiver, incorporating advanced multi-frequency and full-constellation positioning capabilities, was integrated with a smartphone via Bluetooth to enable the UAV’s acquisition of centimeter-level positioning data. Sequential utilization of single satellite systems—such as GPS-only, GLONASS-only, Galileo-only, SBAS-only, and BeiDou-only—facilitated the documentation of latitude and longitude coordinates for the designated building. Subsequent comparison of these coordinates with a specialized Geographic Information System (GIS) was conducted to evaluate their positional accuracy. The comparative analysis underscores significant variability in the precision offered by each satellite constellation, providing valuable insights for optimizing UAV navigation across GIS, IoT, construction, and other sectors requiring high-precision localization. This research underscores the significance of high-precision GNSS receivers in enhancing UAV-based geospatial assessments, emphasizing the critical selection of appropriate satellite systems for tailored localization tasks. The study contributes to advancing UAV navigation strategies, ensuring robust and accurate geospatial data collection within diverse operational frameworks.展开更多

文摘Accurate localization is paramount for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) spanning various technical and industrial domains, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) precision. This study investigates the performance of distinct GNSS constellations in determining the precise location of a building utilizing a high-precision GNSS receiver. The receiver, incorporating advanced multi-frequency and full-constellation positioning capabilities, was integrated with a smartphone via Bluetooth to enable the UAV’s acquisition of centimeter-level positioning data. Sequential utilization of single satellite systems—such as GPS-only, GLONASS-only, Galileo-only, SBAS-only, and BeiDou-only—facilitated the documentation of latitude and longitude coordinates for the designated building. Subsequent comparison of these coordinates with a specialized Geographic Information System (GIS) was conducted to evaluate their positional accuracy. The comparative analysis underscores significant variability in the precision offered by each satellite constellation, providing valuable insights for optimizing UAV navigation across GIS, IoT, construction, and other sectors requiring high-precision localization. This research underscores the significance of high-precision GNSS receivers in enhancing UAV-based geospatial assessments, emphasizing the critical selection of appropriate satellite systems for tailored localization tasks. The study contributes to advancing UAV navigation strategies, ensuring robust and accurate geospatial data collection within diverse operational frameworks.
文摘Nanotechnology in cancer therapy has significantly advanced treatment precision,effectiveness,and safety,improving patient outcomes and personalized care.Engineered smart nanoparticles and cell-based therapies are designed to target tumor cells,precisely sensing the tumor microenvironment(TME)and sparing normal cells.These nanoparticles enhance drug accumulation in tumors by solubilizing insoluble compounds or preventing their degradation,and they can also overcome therapy resistance and deliver multiple drugs simultaneously.Despite these benefits,challenges remain in patient-specific responses and regulatory approvals for cell-based or nanoparticle therapies.Cell-based drug delivery systems(DDSs)that primarily utilize the immune-recognition principle between ligands and receptors have shown promise in selectively targeting and destroying cancer cells.This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of various nanoparticle and cell-based drug delivery system types used in cancer research.It covers approved and experimental nanoparticle therapies,including liposomes,micelles,protein-based and polymeric nanoparticles,as well as cell-based DDSs like macrophages,T-lymphocytes,dendritic cells,viruses,bacterial ghosts,minicells,SimCells,and outer membrane vesicles(OMVs).The review also explains the role of TME and its impact on developing smart DDSs in combination therapies and integrating nanoparticles with cell-based systems for targeting cancer cells.By detailing DDSs at different stages of development,from laboratory research to clinical trials and approved treatments,this review provides the latest insights and a collection of valuable citations of the innovative strategies that can be improved for the precise treatment of cancer.

文摘Lynch syndrome(LS)is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer(CRC)predisposition syndrome,characterized by a high mutational burden and microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H)tumors.Immunology of LS-associated CRC(LS-CRC)is unique,with significant implications for treatment.Despite well-established knowledge of LS immunology,immunotherapy dose and treatment response can vary significantly based on local tumor immunity and specific germline pathogenic variant of LS genes.This variability necessitates tailored surveillance strategies and new personalised immunotherapy approaches for LS patients.LS-CRC often benefits from immunotherapy due to the distinct tumor microenvironment(TME)and the variety of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes(TILs).This perspective discusses a novel approach of analysing spatial TILs at a single-cell level using tumor whole slide images(WSIs)that accounts for the distinct TME of LS-CRC.By emphasizing the necessity of personalized medicine in hereditary cancer syndromes,the future research and clinical practices that enhance patient outcomes through precision oncology is inspired.

文摘Approximately 2.5%of the global population experience allergic reactions to seafood,making it one of the most prevalent and life-threatening allergies.Seafood allergy can lead to the disruption of the intestinal barrier,possibly due to aberrant intestinal glycosylation.In this study,the mechanisms underlying seafood allergy were explored through the lens of intestinal glycobiology.Mice were sensitized with tropomyosin,resulting in significant increases in allergy symptom scores,specific antibody and T helper 2 cytokine levels.Intestinal damage was confirmed by histopathology,as well as by assessments and levels of diamine oxidase and claudin-1.Moreover,alterations in glycosylated proteins within the jejunum were analyzed using highthroughput mass spectrometry and the pGlyco3.0 search engine.Precision N-glycoproteomics analysis yielded 2283 glycosylation peptides corresponding to 655 unique glycosylation sites on 399 proteins.Differential expression and enrichment analyses revealed that differentially expressed glycoproteins were significantly enriched in the extracellular matrix(ECM)-receptor interaction pathway and focal adhesion pathway.In conclusion,tropomyosin sensitization leads to intestinal glycome changes,accompanied by remodeling of the intestinal ECM.Our research establishes an essential theoretical basis for targeting the intestinal glycome and ECM remodeling in a precise and fine-tuned manner for the treatment of food allergies.
文摘Background:Precision medicine(PM)has taken center stage in healthcare since the completion of the genomic project.Developed countries have gradually integrated PM into mainstream patient management.However,Nigeria still grapples with wide acceptance,key translational research and implementation of PM.This study sought to explore the knowledge and attitude of PM among pharmacists as key stakeholders in the healthcare team.Methods:A cross‐sectional study was conducted in selected tertiary hospitals across the country.A 21‐item semi‐structured questionnaire was administered by hybrid online and physical methods and the results analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 25.Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data.A chi‐square test was employed to determine the association of knowledge of PM and the sociodemographic characteristics of the study population.Results:A total of 167 hospital pharmacists participated in the study.A high proportion of the participants are familiar with artificial intelligence(91.75%),Pharmacogenomics(84.5%),and precision medicine(61%).Overall,38.9%of the pharmacists had a good knowledge while 13.2%had a poor knowledge of PM and associated terms.The level of knowledge did not correlate significantly with gender(X^(2)=3.21,p=0.201),age(X^(2)=5,p=0.27),marital status(X^(2)=3.21,p=0.201),and professional level(X^(2)=6.85,p=0.144).The most important value of precision medicine to hospital pharmacists is the ability to minimize the impact of disease through preventive medicine(49%)while a large portion are pursuing and or actively planning to pursue additional education in precision medicine.Conclusions:There is a highly positive attitude toward the prospect of PM among hospital pharmacists in Nigeria.Education modules in this field are highly recommended as most do not have a holistic knowledge of terms used in PM.Also,more research aimed at translating PM knowledge into clinical practice is recommended.
