    Abstract Angle-sensitive photodetectors are a promising device technology for many advanced imaging functionalities, including lensless compound-eye vision, lightfield sensing, optical spatial filtering, and phase imaging. Here we demonstrate the use of plasmonic gradient metasurfaces to tailor the angular response of generic planar photodetectors. The resulting devices rely on the phase-matched coupling of light incident at select geometrically tunable angles into guided plasmonic modes, which are then scattered and absorbed in the underlying photodetector active layer. This approach naturally introduces sharp peaks in the angular response, with smaller footprint and reduced guided-mode radiative losses (and therefore improved spatial resolution and sensitivity) compared to analogous devices based on diffractive coupling. More broadly, these results highlight a promising new application space of flat optics, where gradient metasurfaces are integrated within image sensors to enable unconventional capabilities with enhanced system miniaturization and design flexibility.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the effects of chronic exercise on attentional bias toward drug-related stimuli and on brain electrophysiological characteristics among women with methamphetamine addiction.
    Methods: In total, 63 women with methamphetamine addiction were randomized to participate in a dance (n = 21; mean age, 32.16 ± 2.07 years), bicycle (n = 21; mean age, 32.59 ± 2.12 years), or control (maintained regular activities with little exercise; n = 21; mean age, 30.95 ± 2.81 years) group for 12 weeks. The participants in the three groups were not significantly different in terms of methamphetamine use or detoxification. Before and after the intervention, attentional bias was assessed using the dot-probe task, and event-related potentials were recorded during the task.
    Results: The mean attentional bias scores decreased significantly after the intervention in both exercise groups but not in the control group. After 12 weeks of dance exercise, the amplitudes of the N170, N2, P2, and P3 components of the event-related potentials decreased significantly during attentional bias processing. In addition, differences in N170 amplitudes for congruent vs. incongruent conditions in the dot-probe task were no longer observed. After 12 weeks of cycling exercise, N2 and P2 amplitudes decreased significantly. By contrast, there were no significant differences in N170, N2, P2, and P3 amplitudes in the control group before vs. after the intervention.
    Conclusions: Chronic (12 weeks of) aerobic exercise reduced attentional bias toward drug-related cues by improving attentional inhibition and reducing the maintenance of extra attention to drug-related cues among women with methamphetamine addiction. Both dance and bicycle exercise improved the early recognition of drug-related cues, weakened the influence of the memory of previous drug use, and improved attentional bias behavior by strengthening attention control. Dance exercise, but not bicycling, also regulated emotional control and improved the attention selection process. These results provide theoretical and empirical evidence that chronic aerobic exercise may reduce the attentional bias toward drug-related cues to assist in the recovery of women with methamphetamine addiction.

    Abstract The genomes of maize and other eukaryotes contain stable haplotypes in regions of low recombination. These regions, including centromeres, long heterochromatic blocks, and rDNA arrays, have been difficult to analyze with respect to their diversity and origin. Greatly improved genome assemblies are now available that enable comparative genomics over these and other nongenic spaces. Using 26 complete maize genomes, we developed methods to align intergenic sequences while excluding genes and regulatory regions. The centromere haplotypes (cenhaps) extend for megabases on either side of the functional centromere regions and appear as evolutionary strata, with haplotype divergence/coalescence times dating as far back as 450 thousand years ago (kya). Application of the same methods to other low recombination regions (heterochromatic knobs and rDNA) and all intergenic spaces revealed that deep coalescence times are ubiquitous across the maize pan-genome. Divergence estimates vary over a broad timescale with peaks at ∼16 and 300 kya, reflecting a complex history of gene flow among diverging populations and changes in population size associated with domestication. Cenhaps and other long haplotypes provide vivid displays of this ancient diversity.

    Abstract Objective: In this retrospective study, we aimed to assess the relationship between mutations in the Kirsten rats sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS )/ tumor protein p53 (TP53 ) genes and the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy as a second-line or later-line treatment for patients with stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 143 patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Harbin Medical University between January 2019 and September 2022. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis was performed to analyze the survival outcomes. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk models were used to analyze the factors associated with the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of advanced-stage NSCLC patients who received ICIs as second-line or later-line therapy.
    Results: NSCLC patients with KRAS or TP53 mutations treated with ICIs showed significantly higher objective response rate, disease control rate, PFS, and OS compared to NSCLC patients with wild-type KRAS / TP53 (P  < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that a combined treatment regimen of ICIs plus chemotherapy was significantly associated with prolonged PFS [hazard ratio = 0.192; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.094-0.392; P  < 0.001] and OS (hazard ratio = 0.414; 95% CI, 0.281-0.612; P  < 0.001).
    Conclusion: KRAS or TP53 mutations were associated with improved PFS of advanced NSCLC patients treated with ICIs as second-line or later-line therapy. KRAS or TP53 mutations show great potential as clinical biomarkers to predict the efficacy of ICIs therapy.

    Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) often coexist, and the causal relationship between them is not yet clear; treatments for OSA include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), mandibular advancement device (MAD), surgery, and lifestyle intervention and so on. However, the effects of different treatments on metabolic syndrome in OSA patients are still under debate.
    Objectives: Review the effects of different treatments on metabolic syndrome in OSA patients by meta-analysis.
    Methods: we searched articles in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, and Wanfang data from database construction to Feb. 2024.RevMan5.4 and Stata software were used to conduct a meta-analysis of 22 articles.
    Results: A total of 22 articles were finally included. The results showed that CPAP treatment could reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in OSA patients in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (RR = 0.82 [95% CI, 0.75 to 0.90];
    Conclusion: We confirmed that both CPAP and lifestyle intervention can reduce the prevalence of MetS in OSA patients. CPAP treatment can lower blood pressure, fasting glucose, waist circumference, and triglyceride levels in OSA patients. Lifestyle intervention can lower blood pressure, fasting glucose, and waist circumference in OSA patients. Upper airway surgery can only reduce TG levels in OSA patients.

    Abstract Introduction: In recent years, with the popularity of many social media platforms worldwide, the role of "virtual social network platforms" in the field of cross-cultural communication has become increasingly important. Scholars in psychology and neuroscience, and cross-disciplines, are attracted to research on the motivation, mechanisms, and effects of communication on social media across cultures.
    Methods and analysis: This paper collects the co-citation of keywords in "cultural psychology," "cross-culture communication," "neuroscience," and "social media" from the database of web of science and analyzes the hotspots of the literature in word cloud.
    Results: Based on our inclusion criteria, 85 relevant studies were extracted from a database of 842 papers. There were 44 articles on cultural communication on social media, of which 26 were from the perspective of psychology and five from the perspective of neuroscience. There are 27 articles that focus on the integration of psychology and neuroscience, but only a few are related to cross-cultural communication on social media.
    Conclusion: Scholars have mainly studied the reasons and implications of cultural communication on social media from the perspectives of cultural psychology and neuroscience separately. Keywords "culture" and "social media" generate more links in the hot map, and a large number of keywords of cultural psychology and neuroscience also gather in the hot map, which reflects the trend of integration in academic research. While cultural characteristics have changed with the development of new media and virtual communities, more research is needed to integrate the disciplines of culture, psychology, and neuroscience.

    Abstract This study addresses the challenge of enhancing coupling efficiency between optical fibers and elliptical Gaussian beams emitted by semiconductor lasers, particularly in fiber communication systems. We introduce a method for fiber design utilizing the Joukowsky transformation to facilitate efficient mode transformation from elliptical to circular, thereby augmenting the coupling efficiency with both single-mode and multimode fibers. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate that the fiber with a structurally transitional core maintains high-efficiency mode transformation across various lengths, and its structure has been optimized accordingly. Additionally, our investigation reveals the designed fiber's ability to preserve polarization states, which could have significant implications in precision optical applications. The proposed design offers an approach to improving performance in optical communication systems, especially in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems and fiber lasers.
