Its high incidence significantly increases the risk of falls, fractures, disability, and mortality among the elderly, posing a global public health challenge for geriatric health. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a key cytokine regulating muscle growth, repair, and metabolism, exhibits a progressive decline in serum levels with aging and is closely associated with the onset and progression of sarcopenia in the elderly. This study reviews the research progress of IGF-1 in the diagnosis and efficacy prediction of sarcopenia in the elderly, providing theoretical references for precise diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis assessment of sarcopenia in the elderly.展开更多

文摘AIM:To build a functional generalized estimating equation(GEE)model to detect glaucomatous visual field progression and compare the performance of the proposed method with that of commonly employed algorithms.METHODS:Totally 716 eyes of 716 patients with primary open angle glaucoma(POAG)with at least 5 reliable 24-2 test results and 2y of follow-up were selected.The functional GEE model was used to detect perimetric progression in the training dataset(501 eyes).In the testing dataset(215 eyes),progression was evaluated the functional GEE model,mean deviation(MD)and visual field index(VFI)rates of change,Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study(AGIS)and Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study(CIGTS)scores,and pointwise linear regression(PLR).RESULTS:The proposed method showed the highest proportion of eyes detected as progression(54.4%),followed by the VFI rate(34.4%),PLR(23.3%),and MD rate(21.4%).The CIGTS and AGIS scores had a lower proportion of eyes detected as progression(7.9%and 5.1%,respectively).The time to detection of progression was significantly shorter for the proposed method than that of other algorithms(adjusted P≤0.019).The VFI rate displayed moderate pairwise agreement with the proposed method(k=0.47).CONCLUSION:The functional GEE model shows the highest proportion of eyes detected as perimetric progression and the shortest time to detect perimetric progression in patients with POAG.
文摘Sarcopenia in the elderly is a syndrome characterized by age-related progressive loss of muscle mass, decline in muscle strength, and deterioration of muscle function. Its high incidence significantly increases the risk of falls, fractures, disability, and mortality among the elderly, posing a global public health challenge for geriatric health. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a key cytokine regulating muscle growth, repair, and metabolism, exhibits a progressive decline in serum levels with aging and is closely associated with the onset and progression of sarcopenia in the elderly. This study reviews the research progress of IGF-1 in the diagnosis and efficacy prediction of sarcopenia in the elderly, providing theoretical references for precise diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis assessment of sarcopenia in the elderly.

文摘Objectives:Pancreatic cancer(PC)is characterized by poor prognosis due to its limited treatment choices and delayed detection.S100A14 has been implicated in tumor progression,yet its regulatory hierarchy and functional interplay in PC remain unclear.This study aimed to define the role of S100A14 in PC progression.Methods:Integrated bioinformatic analyses of TCGA-PAAD and GSE22780 datasets identified candidate hub genes.Prognostic relevance was assessed via Kaplan-Meier and ROC analyses.Functional experiments were performed in PANC-1 and BxPC-3 cells,including qRT-PCR,CCK-8 assay,Western blotting,Transwell assay,and apoptosis assay.Co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)was used to verify S100A14-S100A16 interaction.CHX chase and dual-luciferase assays were employed to assess protein stability and transcriptional activity.Results:S100A14 was markedly upregulated in PC tissues and cell lines and identified as a key prognostic gene.Silencing S100A14 suppressed EMT,proliferation,invasion,and migration,while reversing S100A16-mediated p53 inhibition and enhancing apoptosis.Mechanistically,Co-IP assay confirmed the protein interaction between S100A14 and S100A16;S100A14 stabilized S100A16 protein through post-translational modification without transcriptional regulation;the S100A14/S100A16 axis reduced p53 protein stability and inhibited its transcriptional activity as well as the downstream p21 expression.Critically,knockdown of S100A14 abrogated the pro-metastatic phenotype of cancer cells.Conclusion:This study identifies S100A14 promotes PC progression by stabilizing S100A16 and suppressing the tumor-suppressive p53/p21 pathway;knockdown of S100A14 can reverse the above effects,restore p53 function,and enhance cancer cell apoptosis.Targeting the S100A14/S100A16/p53 regulatory axis could represent a promising therapeutic approach for PC.

文摘Fine-scale structures can be observed in small field-of-view(FOV)auroral observations,but they are often overlooked because they appear only sporadically in all-sky observations.Such forms are of great interest because they may embody specific magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes,reveal localized energy deposition pathways,and provide new insights into cross-scale plasma dynamics and instabilities.However,their limited spatial extent,transient occurrence,and scarcity in wide-FOV observations make systematic investigation challenging.Traditional manual analysis struggles to capture these subtle structures within vast all-sky datasets,while automated detection faces severe data imbalance and morphological ambiguity.To address these challenges,we propose a synthetic-to-real progressive learning framework for cross-FOV retrieval of rare auroral forms.A Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)is employed to perform cross-FOV transformation between unpaired small-FOV images containing rare aurora forms and all-sky images(ASI)without such structures,thereby generating large numbers of synthetic ASI with rare auroral morphology.These synthetic samples are used to train an initial detection model,which subsequently undergoes iterative fine-tuning through feedback-guided learning:The model performs inference on new all-sky data,and the progressively accumulated real detections are incorporated into the training set.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves over 92%detection accuracy on ASI,enabling high-precision retrieval of small-scale auroral structures across large-scale observations.This framework provides a scalable and effective approach to rediscovering rare auroral phenomena in continuous all-sky monitoring,offering new opportunities for exploring the fine-scale dynamics of the upper atmosphere.

文摘Centering on the critical bottlenecks in the development of shale oil in the Jiyang Depression of Shengli Oilfield,key scientific and engineering issues are proposed in aspects such as the storage space and occurrence state of shale oil,the formation mechanisms of multi-scale flow spaces,the mobilization mechanisms of crude oil in pores and fractures,and the enhanced oil recovery(EOR)mechanisms during the late stage of elastic development.The research progress and mechanistic insights in recent years are reviewed with respect to experimental techniques,characteristics of pore-fracture structure and fluid occurrence,fracture evolution mechanisms,shale oil flow mechanisms and EOR techniques.Through improving the experimental methods,optimizing the testing conditions,and developing new technologies,we deeply understand the occurrence state,storage space and flow pattern of shale oil,and reveal the distribution pattern of“oil-bearing in all pore sizes and oil-rich in large pores”and the differences in fluid phase states under the confinement effect of nano-scale pores in the shales of the Jiyang Depression;depict the characteristics of“restricted vertical expansion and complex fracture networks”of induced fractures and the dynamic evolution of fracture networks during the fracturing-soaking-production process;establish a“easy flow-slow flow-stagnant flow”three-zone model and the elastic drive+imbibition drive synergistic energy replenishment mechanism;and carry out high-pressure injection to further enhance the mass transfer and diffusion capacity of CO_(2)within the shale pore-fracture system,and compete for the desorption of alkanes to improve the mobilization degree of shale oil.The research achievements provide crucial support for the formation of the theory of continental shale oil development and the construction of the technical system.The future research efforts will focus on mine-scale multi-field coupling physical simulation equipment,microscopic to macroscopic multi-scale experimental methods,pore/fracture fine characterization and post-fracturing core fracture description technologies,multi-media fluid-structure coupling numerical simulation algorithms,and low-cost EOR and low-quality shale oil in-situ upgrading technologies,in order to promote the large-scale and profitable development of shale oil in the Jiyang Depression.

文摘The available heat content (stored heat energy) of hot dry rock (HDR) at a depth of 1–10 km in the global land crust is estimated to be 5.06×10~8 EJ,attracting considerable global attention.This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the geological framework,HDR resource potential,exploration advancements,and the development of enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) in China.HDR resources are extensively distributed across China.Within the depth range of 3–10 km,China’s estimated potential approximates2.29×10~7 EJ,with a theoretical power generation capacity of approximately 1.67×10^(16) k Wh.Replacing coal power with HDR can help to achieve a net emission reduction of 1.34×10^(16) kg CO_(2) (approximately1.34×10^(13) t),representing an emission reduction efficiency of 94.4%.Based on a development cycle of100 years,the average annual emission reduction reaches 1.34×10^(10) t CO_(2),equivalent to 117%of China’s annual carbon emissions in 2022.Furthermore,in the context of global warming,the development and utilization of HDR,which is feasible in virtually any region worldwide,offers significant potential to support global carbon reduction efforts.China has made substantial progress in HDR exploration in recent years.This paper systematically classifies China’s HDR resources into four genetic types—highly radioactive heat-producing,sedimentary basin,active volcanic,and intensely tectonic zones—and offers detailed exploration insights for each category.Each classification exhibits distinct geological and tectonic characteristics that influence heat source mechanisms and resource distribution.Furthermore,this paper documents significant advances in EGS construction,particularly in the Gonghe Basin on the northeastern margin of the Qianghai-Xizang Plateau and the Matouying uplift in the North China Basin,where successful reservoir stimulation,microseismic monitoring,and experimental power generation have been achieved.Despite these developments,challenges persist,including technical adaptability under complex geological conditions and the economic viability of large-scale HDR development.This paper suggests that future initiatives should emphasize resource exploration,technological research,and policy support to foster sustainable HDR resource development in China,thereby contributing to the global energy transition and environmental sustainability.
