    Abstract Lichen striatus (LS), linear psoriasis (LPs), linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LCLE) and linear lichen planus (LLP) often have similar clinical manifestations, which makes clinical diagnosis with the naked eye difficult; therefore, they are easily misdiagnosed. The purpose of this study was to determine whether reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is helpful in differentiating between these four linear dermatoses in children. This retrospective study included 14 patients with LS, nine with LPs, eight with LCLE and 12 with LLP. All patients were analysed using RCM, and biopsies were collected from lesions previously imaged by RCM. For LS, the dermal papillary rings were partially absent, but when present, manifested with small, homogeneously round, bright cells and occasionally highly refractive plump cellular structures, aggregated in clusters. LPs exhibited dark cyst-like structures with small, bright, round cells aggregated at the epidermal level; at the dermal-epidermal junction, homogeneously distributed, enlarged, faint dermal papillary rings and numerous enlarged low-refractive canalicular structures were observed in the superficial dermis. LCLE and LLP exhibited similar manifestations, including epidermal disarray, almost total absence of dermal papillary rings, and various sized refractive structures densely distributed in the dermis. The key distinguishing features of LCLE were the different sized structures mainly clustered around hair follicles, while LLP demonstrated dense structures with a scattered distribution. RCM may be used to distinguish between the key features of LS, LPs, LCLE and LLP in children.

    Abstract Polyoxometalate-based frameworks (POM-based frameworks) are extended structures assembled from metal-oxide cluster units and organic frameworks that simultaneously possess the virtues of POMs and frameworks. They have been attracting immense attention because of their diverse architectures and charming topologies and also due to their probable application prospects in the areas of catalysis, separation, and energy storage. In this review, the recent progress in POM-based frameworks including POM-based metal organic frameworks (PMOFs), POM-based covalent organic frameworks (PCOFs), and POM-based supramolecular frameworks (PSFs) is systematically summarized. The design and construction of a POM-based framework and its application in photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis are introduced, respectively. Finally, our brief outlooks on the current challenges and future development of POM-based frameworks for photocatalysis and photothermal catalysis are provided.

    Abstract Reinforcement learning (RL) is a promising approach to tackling learning and decision-making problems in a dynamic environment. Most studies on RL focus on the improvement of state evaluation or action evaluation. In this article, we investigate how to reduce action space by using supermodularity. We consider the decision tasks in the multistage decision process as a collection of parameterized optimization problems, where state parameters dynamically vary along with the time or stage. The optimal solutions of these parameterized optimization problems correspond to the optimal actions in RL. For a given Markov decision process (MDP) with supermodularity, the monotonicity of the optimal action set and the optimal selection with respect to state parameters can be obtained by using the monotone comparative statics. Accordingly, we propose a monotonicity cut to remove unpromising actions from the action space. Taking bin packing problem (BPP) as an example, we show how the supermodularity and monotonicity cut work in RL. Finally, we evaluate the monotonicity cut on the benchmark datasets reported in the literature and compare the proposed RL with some popular baseline algorithms. The results show that the monotonicity cut can effectively improve the performance of RL.

    Abstract The effects of a natural soda water (Shi Han Quan, SHQ) on hyperlipidemia and the changes of urine metabolic profiling by metabolomics techniques were investigate. Thirty six Wistar rats weighing 160-200 g were divided into control group, hyperlipidemia (HL) group, and hyperlipidemia + SHQ water (SHQ) group. The metabolites in urine were determined using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-triple-time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC/Triple-TOF MS). At the end of 1 month and 3 months, the total glyceride (TG) level was significantly lower in SHQ group compared to HL group. There was no significantly difference in total cholesterol (TC) levels in HL group compared with SHQ group. The results showed that dinking SHQ water can improve the TG, but with no effects on TC. After drinking SHQ water for 3 months, the rats in different groups could be classified into different clusters according to the metabolites in urine. Total 15 important metabolites were found and correlated with disturbance of amino acid, phospholipid, fatty acid and vitamin metabolism, which suggested the changes of metabolism in the body and possible mechanism by which SHQ improved the TG. These findings provide a new insight for the prevention and control of hyperlipidemia.

    Abstract In this work, the calculation of Casimir forces across thin DNA films is carried out based on the Lifshitz theory. The variations of Casimir forces due to the DNA thicknesses, volume fractions of containing water, covering media, and substrates are investigated. For a DNA film suspended in air or water, the Casimir force is attractive, and its magnitude increases with decreasing thickness of DNA films and the water volume fraction. For DNA films deposited on a dielectric (silica) substrate, the Casimir force is attractive for the air environment. However, the Casimir force shows unusual features in a water environment. Under specific conditions, switching sign of the Casimir force from attractive to repulsive can be achieved by increasing the DNA-film thickness. Finally, the Casimir force for DNA films deposited on a metallic substrate is investigated. The Casimir force is dominated by the repulsive interactions at a small DNA-film thickness for both the air and water environments. In a water environment, the Casimir force turns out to be attractive for a large DNA-film thickness, and a stable Casimir equilibrium can be found. The influences of electrolyte screening on the Casimir pressure of DNA films are also discussed at the end. In addition to the adhesion stability, our finding could be applicable to the problems of condensation and decondensation of DNA, due to fluctuation-induced dispersion forces.

    Abstract Fifty years of daily ERA5 reanalysis data are employed to investigate the linkages between the strength of the stratospheric polar vortex and the tropospheric polar vortex during the boreal winter. The strong coupling events, anomalies in both the stratospheric and tropospheric polar vortices, can be classified into four configurations, each representing the distinct characteristics of planetary wave vertical propagation and tropospheric circulation anomalies. The findings reveal the following patterns: (1) Strong stratospheric polar vortex and weak tropospheric polar vortex periods are associated with anomalous downward E-P flux from the stratosphere to the troposphere, predominantly induced by planetary waves 1 and 2. Warm anomalies occur along the North Atlantic coasts, while cold anomalies are evident over Eastern Europe and East Asia at the surface. (2) Weak stratospheric polar vortex and strong tropospheric polar vortex periods exhibit anomalous upward E-P flux in high latitudes, with dominant wave 1, and anomalous downward E-P flux in the middle latitudes, dominated by wave 2. Warm anomalies are observed over North America, Western Europe, and the northern side of the Gulf of Oman at the surface. (3) Strong stratospheric polar vortex and strong tropospheric polar vortex periods feature anomalous downward E-P flux in high latitudes, dominated by wave 1, and anomalous upward E-P flux in middle latitudes, with a wave 2 predominance. Warm anomalies prevail over Northeast Asia, Southern Europe, and North America at the surface. (4) Weak stratospheric polar vortex and weak tropospheric polar vortex periods display anomalous upward E-P flux in mid-to-high latitudes, predominantly with wave 1. In contrast to the tropospheric circulation anomalies observed in the third category, this pattern results in the presence of cold anomalies over Northeast Asia, Southern Europe, and North America.
