文摘Pathological scarring,manifested in the form of hypertrophic scars(HTS)and keloid scars(KS),represents a major clinical challenge due to its aesthetic and functional implications for patients.Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in these types of scars and developing effective treatments requires the use of controlled ex-perimental models,especially animals,to overcome the limitations of clinical studies.The aim of this sistematic review is to critically analyze the animal models used in the last five years(2020-2025)for the study of pathological scars,highlighting their advantages,limitations and applicability in the development of new therapeutic strat-egies.Murine,rabbit and porcine models,as well as alternative models,offer varied perspectives on the formation and treatment of HTS and KS,with an emphasis on histological and molecular correlations with human pathology.By synthesizing recent data,the paper highlights the essential role of preclinical research in optimizing an-tifibrotic treatments and in advancing the translation of data into the clinical sphere.Overall,animal models remain essential for bridging mechanistic insights with clinical translation,supporting the development of more effective and personalized anti-scar therapies.
文摘In recent years,significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the exploration of deep volcanic rocks in the Junggar Basin,highlighting their substantial exploration potential.The complex distribution of volcanic reservoirs is attributed to the multi-phase tectonic evolution within the basin,with their superior reservoir properties playing a crucial role in natural gas formation.However,due to the combined effects of multi-cyclic volcanic eruptions and tectonic activities,predicting volcanic facies distribution and favorable reservoirs remains highly challenging.This study focuses on the third member of the Jiamuhe Formation in the Zhongguai Uplift.By integrating drilling and petrophysical data with well-seismic analysis techniques,a seismic identification model for volcanic reservoirs has been established.The findings reveal that different facies exhibit distinct seismic response characteristics.Andesite,rhyolite,volcanic breccia,and volcanic clastic rocks show variability in amplitude,frequency,and continuity.Using structural-guided filtering,high-resolution coherence analysis,and 3D body carving techniques,the locations of volcanic craters and eruption centers were successfully identified,further clarifying the distribution patterns of volcanic facies.By combining multi-attribute clustering analysis and seismic attribute extraction,a volcanic facies zone distribution map was generated,and favorable exploration directions for volcanic reservoirs were proposed.The study provides technical guidance for the exploration of deep volcanic oil and gas reservoirs in the Junggar Basin and holds significant application value.

文摘The proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)and the hydrogen hybrid power system are studied by the fuzzy-PID(FPID)controlmethod and the fuzzy-PID controlmethod by Artificial Bee Colony algorithm(ABCFPID),respectively.The results reveal that compared with the FPID control method,the temperature overshoot of the PEMFC stack under the ABC-FPID control method is decreased by 0.6%.Moreover,the circulating water flow rate within the full operating envelope(about 3 min)is reduced by 19.46 L,which means the ABC-FPID control method is more effective in regulating the stack temperature.Then,the ABC-FPID control method is proposed to study the hydrogen hybrid power system,and the system output power matching,operating characteristic curve of the fuel cell,state of charge(SOC)of the lithium battery,system efficiency and hydrogen demand are obtained.The results indicate that the maximum system efficiency reaches 46.3%,the average system efficiency is 33.8%,and the average hydrogen demand is 0.192 kg/s.Overall,the ABC-FPID control method can efficiently ensure the stability of the fuel cell’s output power,and actively prompt the lithium battery to fulfill the function of“peak shaving and valley filling”under variable load power conditions.
文摘With the advent of sixth-generation mobile communications(6G),space-air-ground integrated networks have become mainstream.This paper focuses on collaborative scheduling for mobile edge computing(MEC)under a three-tier heterogeneous architecture composed of mobile devices,unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),and macro base stations(BSs).This scenario typically faces fast channel fading,dynamic computational loads,and energy constraints,whereas classical queuing-theoretic or convex-optimization approaches struggle to yield robust solutions in highly dynamic settings.To address this issue,we formulate a multi-agent Markov decision process(MDP)for an air-ground-fused MEC system,unify link selection,bandwidth/power allocation,and task offloading into a continuous action space and propose a joint scheduling strategy that is based on an improved MATD3 algorithm.The improvements include Alternating Layer Normalization(ALN)in the actor to suppress gradient variance,Residual Orthogonalization(RO)in the critic to reduce the correlation between the twin Q-value estimates,and a dynamic-temperature reward to enable adaptive trade-offs during training.On a multi-user,dual-link simulation platform,we conduct ablation and baseline comparisons.The results reveal that the proposed method has better convergence and stability.Compared with MADDPG,TD3,and DSAC,our algorithm achieves more robust performance across key metrics.

文摘In recent years,the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence(AI)technology has enabled AI-assisted negative screening to significantly enhance physicians'efficiency through image feature analysis and multimodal data modeling,allowing them to focus more on diagnosing positive cases.Meanwhile,multispectral imaging(MSI)integrates spectral and spatial resolution to capture subtle tissue features invisible to the human eye,providing high-resolution data support for pathological analysis.Combining AI technology with MSI and employing quantitative methods to analyze multiband biomarkers(such as absorbance differences in keratin pearls)can effectively improve diagnostic specificity and reduce subjective errors in manual slide interpretation.To address the challenge of identifying negative tissue sections,we developed a discrimination algorithm powered by MSI.We demonstrated its efficacy using cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma(cSCC)as a representative case study.The algorithm achieved 100%accuracy in excluding negative cases and effectively mitigated the false-positive problem caused by cSCC heterogeneity.We constructed a multispectral image(MSI)dataset acquired at 520 nm,600 nm,and 630 nm wavelengths.Subsequently,we employed an optimized MobileViT model for tissue classification and performed comparative analyses against other models.The experimental results showed that our optimized MobileViT model achieved superior performance in identifying negative tissue sections,with a perfect accuracy rate of 100%.Thus,our results confirm the feasibility of integrating MSI with AI to exclude negative cases with perfect accuracy,offering a novel solution to alleviate the workload of pathologists.
文摘The integration of machine learning(ML)into geohazard assessment has successfully instigated a paradigm shift,leading to the production of models that possess a level of predictive accuracy previously considered unattainable.However,the black-box nature of these systems presents a significant barrier,hindering their operational adoption,regulatory approval,and full scientific validation.This paper provides a systematic review and synthesis of the emerging field of explainable artificial intelligence(XAI)as applied to geohazard science(GeoXAI),a domain that aims to resolve the long-standing trade-off between model performance and interpretability.A rigorous synthesis of 87 foundational studies is used to map the intellectual and methodological contours of this rapidly expanding field.The analysis reveals that current research efforts are concentrated predominantly on landslide and flood assessment.Methodologically,tree-based ensembles and deep learning models dominate the literature,with SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)frequently adopted as the principal post-hoc explanation technique.More importantly,the review further documents how the role of XAI has shifted:rather than being used solely as a tool for interpreting models after training,it is increasingly integrated into the modeling cycle itself.Recent applications include its use in feature selection,adaptive sampling strategies,and model evaluation.The evidence also shows that GeoXAI extends beyond producing feature rankings.It reveals nonlinear thresholds and interaction effects that generate deeper mechanistic insights into hazard processes and mechanisms.Nevertheless,several key challenges remain unresolved within the field.These persistent issues are especially pronounced when considering the crucial necessity for interpretation stability,the demanding scholarly task of reliably distinguishing correlation from causation,and the development of appropriate methods for the treatment of complex spatio-temporal dynamics.
