Facing the economic challenges of significant frequency regulation wear and tear on thermal power units and short energy storage lifespan in thermal-energy storage combined systems participating in grid primary freque...Facing the economic challenges of significant frequency regulation wear and tear on thermal power units and short energy storage lifespan in thermal-energy storage combined systems participating in grid primary frequency regulation(PFR),this paper proposes a novel hybrid energy storage system(HESS)control strategy based on Newton-Raphson optimization algorithm(NRBO)-VMD and a fuzzy neural network(FNN)for PFR.In the primary power allocation stage,the high inertia and slow response of thermal power units prevent them from promptly responding to the high-frequency components of PFR signals,leading to increased mechanical stress.To address the distinct response characteristics of thermal units and HESS,an NRBO-VMD based decomposition method for PFR signals is proposed,enabling a flexible system response to grid frequency deviations.Within the HESS,an adaptive coordinated control strategy and a State of Charge(SOC)self-recovery strategy are introduced.These strategies autonomously adjust the virtual inertia and droop coefficients based on the depth of frequency regulation and the real-time SOC.Furthermore,a FNN is constructed to perform secondary refinement of the internal power distribution within the HESS.Finally,simulations under various operational conditions demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively mitigates frequent power adjustments of the thermal unit during PFR,adaptively achieves optimal power decomposition and distribution,maintains the flywheel energy storage’s SOC within an optimal range,and ensures the long-term stable operation of the HESS.展开更多

文摘Nonhuman primates are increasingly being used as animal models in neuroscience research.However,efficient neuronal tracing techniques for labeling motor neurons and primary sensory afferents in the monkey spinal cord are lacking.Here,by injecting the cholera toxin B subunit into the sciatic nerve of a rhesus monkey,we successfully labeled the motor neurons and primary sensory afferents in the lumbar and sacralspinal cord.Labeled alpha motor neurons were located in lamina IX of the L6–S1 segments,which innervate both flexors and extensors.The labeled primary sensory afferents were mainly myelinated Aβfibers that terminated mostly in laminae I and II of the L4–L7 segments.Together with the labeled proprioceptive afferents,the primary sensory afferents formed excitatory synapses with multiple types of spinal neurons.In summary,our methods successfully traced neuronal connections in the monkey spinal cord and can be used in spinal cord studies when nonhuman primates are used.

文摘For decades,the central dogma of oncology has been that a cancer’s identity is inextricably linked to its anatomical origin.This principle underpins the entire diagnostic and therapeutic framework,from histology-based classification to site-specific treatment guidelines.Yet,this framework catastrophically fails for a substantial population of patients diagnosed with cancer of unknown primary(CUP).These patients present metastatic disease,yet their primary tumors remain elusive despite exhaustive clinical workup1.CUP,accounting for 1%-3%of all cancer diagnoses,is an enigma with devastating consequences;the median overall survival is only 2-12 months2-4.The inability to pinpoint an origin forces clinicians to rely on broad-spectrum empirical chemotherapy,such as taxane-carboplatin regimens,which have limited efficacy and exclude patients from the promise of targeted therapies and clinical trials5.CUP is not only a diagnostic challenge but also an indictment of the siloed approach to understanding malignancy:this cancer highlights the limitations of origin-based diagnostic frameworks.However,the confluence of high-dimensional biological data and advanced artificial intelligence(AI)is now poised to address this long-standing diagnostic limitation and to herald a new era for not only CUP but also oncology as a whole(Figure 1).
文摘AIM:To investigate the long-term outcomes in acute primary angle closure(APAC)patients treated with lens extraction(LE)surgery and to identify risk factors for glaucomatous optic neuropathy(GON).METHODS:In this longitudinal observational study,detailed medical histories of APAC patients and comprehensive ophthalmic examinations at final followup were collected.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of blindness.Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to determine risk factors associated with visual outcomes.RESULTS:This study included 39 affected eyes of 31 subjects(26 females)with an average age of 74.1±8.0y.At 6.7±4.2y after APAC attack,2(5.7%)eyes had bestcorrected visual acuity(VA)worse than 3/60.Advanced glaucomatous visual field loss was observed in 15(39.5%)affected eyes and 5(25.0%)fellow eyes.Nine affected eyes(23.7%)had GON,and 11(28.9%)were blind.Six(15.4%)affected eyes and 2(9.1%)fellow eyes had suspicious progression.A significantly higher blindness rate in factory workers compared to office workers.Logistic regression identified that worse VA at attack(OR 10.568,95%CI 1.288-86.695;P=0.028)and worse early postoperative VA(OR 13.214,95%CI 1.157-150.881;P=0.038)were risk factors for blindness.Multivariate regression showed that longer duration of elevated intraocular pressure(P=0.004)and worse early postoperative VA(P=0.009)were associated with worse visual outcomes.CONCLUSION:Despite LE surgery,some APAC patients experience continued visual function deterioration.Lifelong monitoring is necessary.Target pressure and progression rates should be re-evaluated during follow-up.

文摘Primary human hepatocytes(PHH)are used as the FDA-recognized"gold standard"for liver-related studies in vitro.The world’s first PHH group standard(T/CSCB 0008–2021,CSCB standard)was released by Chinese Society for Cell Biology in 2021.In order to justify this standard,six key quality attributes of ten different batches from commercial PHHs,including cell viability,cell morphology,cell markers,albumin secretion,drug metabolism function and bile secretion,were characterized using the designated test methods in the standard.The PHHs from various batches all exhibited typical hepatocytic morphology,high cell viability,and sufficient albumin secretion;whereas,tremendous variations in cell markers,drug metabolism functions,and bile secretion were unexpectedly detected across the board.Flow cytometric assessment of hepatocyte markers revealed the percentages of ALB^(+)or HNF4A^(+)cells in six batches of PHHs,ranging from 49.4%to 98.9%and from 37.7%to 91.4%,respectively.Single cell transcriptomic analysis also revealed significant cell heterogeneity across the different batches,with the proportions of hepatocytes ranging from 69.2%to 98.9%.Considerable heterogeneity in drug metabolism functions across the batches were also found in substrate clearance rate(SCR)and metabolite formation rate(MFR)for six representative CYP450 enzymes,while the results didn’t influence current SCR attribute of CYP3A4.Metabolic capacity and purity are two independent attributes for PHH.The varied biliary excretion indexes around criteria(30%)indicated heterogeneity of PHH biliary excretion capacity.These results confirmed the robustness of most quality attributes in current CSCB standard,while highlighting the need to refine remaining parameters to enhance its practical applicability.

文摘Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to study the effect of chemical short-range order(CSRO)on the primary radiation damage in TiVTaNb high-entropy alloys(HEAs).We have performed displacement cascade simulations to explore the CSRO effect on the generation and evolution behaviors of irradiation defects.The results demonstrate that CSRO can suppress the formation of Frenkel pairs in TiVTaNb HEAs,with the suppression effect becoming more pronounced as the degree of CSRO increases.CSRO can change the types of interstitial defects generated during cascade collisions.Specifically,as the degree of CSRO increases,the proportion of Ti-related interstitials shows a marked enhancement,primarily evidenced by a significant rise in Ti–Ti dumbbells accompanied by a corresponding decrease in Ti–V dumbbells.CSRO exhibits negligible influence on defect clustering and the nucleation and evolution of dislocation loops.Regardless of CSRO conditions,TiVTaNb HEAs preserve exceptional radiation tolerance throughout the cascade damage process,suggesting that the intrinsic properties of this multi-principal element system dominate its radiation response.These findings provide fundamental insights into the CSRO effect on defect formation and evolution behaviors in HEAs,which may provide new design strategies for high-entropy alloys.

文摘Facing the economic challenges of significant frequency regulation wear and tear on thermal power units and short energy storage lifespan in thermal-energy storage combined systems participating in grid primary frequency regulation(PFR),this paper proposes a novel hybrid energy storage system(HESS)control strategy based on Newton-Raphson optimization algorithm(NRBO)-VMD and a fuzzy neural network(FNN)for PFR.In the primary power allocation stage,the high inertia and slow response of thermal power units prevent them from promptly responding to the high-frequency components of PFR signals,leading to increased mechanical stress.To address the distinct response characteristics of thermal units and HESS,an NRBO-VMD based decomposition method for PFR signals is proposed,enabling a flexible system response to grid frequency deviations.Within the HESS,an adaptive coordinated control strategy and a State of Charge(SOC)self-recovery strategy are introduced.These strategies autonomously adjust the virtual inertia and droop coefficients based on the depth of frequency regulation and the real-time SOC.Furthermore,a FNN is constructed to perform secondary refinement of the internal power distribution within the HESS.Finally,simulations under various operational conditions demonstrate that the proposed strategy effectively mitigates frequent power adjustments of the thermal unit during PFR,adaptively achieves optimal power decomposition and distribution,maintains the flywheel energy storage’s SOC within an optimal range,and ensures the long-term stable operation of the HESS.

文摘AIM:To study the relationships between amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations(ALFF)changes and clinical ophthalmic parameters in patients with primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)and analyze the diagnostic value of ALFF.METHODS:Twenty-four POAG patients and 24 healthy controls(HCs)underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI).Nonparametric rank-sum tests were used to compare the ALFF values in the slow-4 and slow-5 bands,and Spearman or Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between ALFF changes and clinical ophthalmic parameters in POAG patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the ALFF.RESULTS:There were 16 males in POAG patients(median age 48y)and 12 males in HCs(median age 39y).Compared with HCs,POAG patients presented increased or decreased ALFF values in different brain regions,and similar changes were observed in mild POAG patients.The ALFF values were correlated with retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thickness,inner limiting membrane-retinal pigment epithelium thickness changes and the degree of visual field defects.Analysis of the diagnostic value of the ALFF via ROC curves revealed that the right medial frontal gyrus[area under the curve(AUC)=0.9063]and superior frontal gyrus(AUC=0.9097)had better diagnostic value than did the optic disc area(AUC=0.8019),visual field index(VFI%,AUC=0.8988)and macular parameters.CONCLUSION:POAG patients present altered cortical function that is significantly correlated with the optic nerve and retinal thickness and had good diagnostic value,which may reflect the underlying neuropathological mechanism of POAG.
文摘Knowledge of the etiological and pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of any disease is essential for its treatment.Because the cause of primary biliary cholangitis(PBC),a chronic,slowly progressive cholestatic liver disease,is still unknown,treatment remains symptomatic.Knowledge of the physicochemical properties of various bile acids and the adaptive responses of cholangiocytes and hepatocytes to them has provided an important basis for the development of relatively effective drugs based on hydrophilic bile acids that can potentially slow the progression of the disease.Advances in the use of hydrophilic bile acids for the treatment of PBC are also associated with the discovery of pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of cholangiocyte damage and the appearance of the first signs of this disease.For 35 years,ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA)has been the unique drug of choice for the treatment of patients with PBC.In recent years,the list of hydrophilic bile acids used to treat cholestatic liver diseases,including PBC,has expanded.In addition to UDCA,the use of obeticholic acid,tauroursodeoxycholic acid and norursodeoxycholic acid as drugs is discussed.The pathogenetic rationale for treatment of PBC with various bile acid drugs is discussed in this review.Emphasis is made on the mechanisms explaining the beneficial therapeutic effects and potential of each of the bile acid as a drug,based on the understanding of the pathogenesis of the initial stages of PBC.

文摘Li/MnO_(2) primary batteries are widely used in industry for their high specific capacity and safety.However,a deep comprehension of the Li^(+)insertion mechanism and the high self-discharge rate of the batteries is still needed.Here,the storage mechanism of Li^(+)in the tunnel structure of MnO_(2) as well as the dissolution and migration of Mn-ions were investigated based on multi-scale approaches.The Li/Mn ratio(at%)is determined at about 0.82 when the discharge voltage decreases to 2 V.The limited Li-ions transport rate in the bulk MnO_(2) restrains the reduction reaction,resulting in a low practical specific capacity.Moreover,utilizing spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy(TEM)coupled with electron energy loss spectroscopy(EELS),the presence of a mixed valence state layer of Mn^(2+)/Mn^(3+)/Mn^(4+)on the surface of the original 20 nm MnO_(2) particles was identified,which could contribute to the initial dissolution of Mn-ions.The battery separator exhibited channels for Mn-ions migration and diffusion and aggregated Mn particles.We put forward the discharge and degradation route in the ways of Mn-ions trajectories,and our findings provide a deep understanding of the high self-discharge rates and the capacity decay of Li-Mn primary batteries.

文摘AIM:To investigate decisional conflict among patients diagnosed with primary angle-closure suspect(PACS)or primary angle-closure(PAC)who are considering laser peripheral iridotomy(LPI)treatment.METHODS:A total of 111 individuals diagnosed with PACS or PAC were selected through convenient sampling from March 2023 to December 2023.These participants then completed a general information questionnaire and the Decision Conflict Scale.Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression to reveal factors influencing decisional conflict.RESULTS:The mean Decisional Conflict Score among patients with PACS or PAC was 48.58±10.01,with 99.1%of these individuals reporting experiencing decisional conflict.Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that females(P=0.002)and patients with a shorter duration of the disease(P=0.006)had higher levels of decisional conflict.Additionally,patients diagnosed during medical visits(P=0.049),those who refused LPI treatment(P=0.032),and individuals facing significant economic burdens related to medical expenses(P=0.005)exhibited higher levels of decisional conflict.Furthermore,patients who preferred to make medical decisions independently(P=0.023)and those who favored involving family members in decisionmaking(P=0.005)experienced increased levels of decisional conflict.CONCLUSION:Patients with PACS or PAC who undergo LPI treatment often encounter significant decisional conflict.Healthcare professionals should thoroughly assess a range of factors that influence this conflict,including gender,duration of disease,method of diagnosis acquisition,LPI treatment,economic burden of medical expenses,and patient preferences regarding medical decision-making.By considering these variables,tailored decision support can be developed to address individual patient needs,ultimately reducing decisional conflict and optimizing the quality of decisions made regarding treatment options.
文摘Primary biliary cholangitis(PBC)is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by damage and loss of the epithelial lining of small intrahepatic bile ducts,leading to ductopenia and cholestasis.In advanced stages,this process results in cirrhosis and liver failure.The disease belongs to cholangiopathies.The review addressed historical questions concerning:The history of the first mention of this disease;how its nomenclature was formed;when specific serological tests were discovered and their importance in the diagnosis of PBC;the history of ursodeoxycholic and other bile acids for the treatment of PBC;and the significance of modern data on impaired bicarbonate production by cholangiocytes in the pathogenesis of PBC.

文摘Silicon-based anodes,utilizing nanosized silicon materials,hold great promise for the next-generation of lithium-ion batteries due to their high capacity and stable expansion.This study aims to address challenges in traditional slurry-coated anodes,such as agglomeration and low adhesive strength,through the application of laser powder bed fusion(LPBF).The process involves fabricating an Al-Si-Cu alloy layer on a Cu foil current collector,followed by dealloying to create a porous Si-Cu anode.Simulated and experimental results demonstrate successful alloy layer formation through optimized laser spot(55μm)and powder sizes(1-5μm).Controlled cooling produces primary Si particles ranging from 150 nm to 1μm.The resulting microstructure enhances electrochemical performance,particularly by tailoring the size of primary Si.The resultant porous Si-Cu anode,featuring uniformly distributed primary Si(200 nm)metallurgically bonded with Cu networks,exhibits an initial coulombic efficiency of 83% and a remarkable capacity retention of 80% after 300 cycles at 2 C.In-situ and ex-situ observations confirm the crucial role of anode architecture in performance enhancement.This study elucidates the influence of the LPBF microstructure on anode performance and broadens the potential application of laser powder bed fusion in battery manufacturing.
