    Abstract Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma (PMPM) is a rare pericardial malignant tumor. Most manifestations of PMPM are localized or diffuse masses surrounding the heart. The prognosis of diffuse PMPM is poor due to the difficulty of surgical resection. Although the edge of localized PMPM is clear and can be easily resected, the diagnosis of this disease is difficult. Timely diagnosis and proper treatment are key to a good prognosis. Here, we report a patient with localized PMPM and describe the method for the diagnosis of this disease.

    Abstract As a nonrenewable resource, phosphate rock is an important support for the development and survival of the national economy. The regional distribution and output of phosphate rock in China are extremely uneven, and the amount of high-quality ore resources is relatively poor, which seriously restricts the development and utilization of phosphate rock resources in China. This paper briefly summarizes the distribution characteristics of phosphate rock resources and summarizes the characteristics and research progress of Ediacaran-early Cambrian phosphorus mineralization types, geological characteristics, and deposit genesis of the Yangtze platform in South China. The Ediacaran-early Cambrian sedimentary phosphorite deposits in China are mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan and Hunan provinces of the Yangtze platform, in which the early Cambrian phosphate deposits are also rich in rare earth elements, associated with uranium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, and other beneficial metal elements. The increase of atmospheric oxygen content at the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary may have promoted the extensive oxygenation of the late Neoproterozoic oceans, so the Ediacaran-early Cambrian oceans generally showed a reductive environment, and there may be dynamic chemical stratification of the oxidation zone-sulfide zone-iron zone. Up to the early Cambrian, the redox stratified structure of Precambrian seawater may still be inherited, showing that the surface water is an oxidizing environment, changing to a reduction environment, and even wedge-shaped sulfide water is developed at the bottom of the deep basin. The main phosphorus sources are deep phosphorus-rich seawater, continental weathering, and deep hydrothermal activity of Ediacaran-early Cambrian marine sedimentary phosphorite deposits in South China. The genetic mechanisms of phosphorite deposits in the Yangtze platform in South China are mainly biogenic, upwelling phosphorus-forming theory, mechanical mineralization, and syn-sedimentary hot water mixed genesis. In the future, it is still necessary to further explore the internal relationship between phosphorus deposits and major geological events, the in situ analysis of microstructure of phosphate rock ores, and the genetic mechanism of phosphate deposits and the reconstruction of paleo-marine environment.

    Abstract Eukaryotic cells utilize sub-cellular compartmentalization to restrict reaction components within a defined localization to perform specified biological functions. One way to achieve this is via membrane enclosure; however, many compartments are not bounded with lipid membrane bilayers. In the past few years, it has been increasingly recognized that molecular components in non- or semi-membrane-bound compartments might form biological condensates autonomously (i.e., without requirement of energy input) once threshold concentrations are reached, via a physical chemistry process known as liquid-liquid phase separation. Molecular components within these compartments are stably maintained at high concentrations and separated from the surrounding diluted solution without the need for a physical barrier. Biochemical reconstitution using recombinantly purified proteins has served as an important tool for understanding organizational principles behind these biological condensates. Common techniques include turbidity measurement, fluorescence imaging of 3D droplets, and atomic force microscopy measurements of condensate droplets. Nevertheless, many molecular compartments are semi-membrane-bound with one side attached to the plasma membrane and the other side exposed to the cytoplasm and/or attached to the cytoskeleton; therefore, reconstitution in 3D solution cannot fully recapture their physiological configuration. Here, we utilize a postsynaptic density minimal system to demonstrate that biochemical reconstitution can be applied on supported lipid bilayer (SLB); we have also incorporated actin cytoskeleton into the reconstitution system to mimic the molecular organization in postsynaptic termini. The same system could be adapted to study other membrane-proximal, cytoskeleton-supported condensations.

    Abstract Attributed to the development of deep networks and abundant data, automatic face recognition (FR) has quickly reached human-level capacity in the past few years. However, the FR problem is not perfectly solved in case of large poses and uncontrolled occlusions. In this paper, we propose a novel bypass enhanced representation learning (BERL) method to improve face recognition under unconstrained scenarios. The proposed method integrates self-supervised learning and supervised learning together by attaching two auxiliary bypasses, a 3D reconstruction bypass and a blind inpainting bypass, to assist robust feature learning for face recognition. Among them, the 3D reconstruction bypass enforces the face recognition network to encode pose independent 3D facial information, which enhances the robustness to various poses. The blind inpainting bypass enforces the face recognition network to capture more facial context information for face inpainting, which enhances the robustness to occlusions. The whole framework is trained in end-to-end manner with two self-supervised tasks above and the classic supervised face identification task. During inference, the two auxiliary bypasses can be detached from the face recognition network, avoiding any additional computational overhead. Extensive experimental results on various face recognition benchmarks show that, without any cost of extra annotations and computations, our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the learnt representations can also well generalize to other face-related downstream tasks such as the facial attribute recognition with limited labeled data.

    Abstract While inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based motion capture (MoCap) systems have been gaining popularity for human movement analysis, they still suffer from long-term positioning errors due to accumulated drift and inefficient data transmission via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. To address this problem, this study introduces an integrated ultrawideband (UWB)-IMU system, named UI-MoCap, designed for simultaneous 3D positioning as well as wireless IMU data transmission through UWB pulses. The UI-MoCap comprises mobile UWB tags and hardware-synchronized UWB base stations. Each UWB tag, a compact circular PCB with a 3.4cm diameter, houses a nine-axis IMU unit and a UWB transceiver for data transmission. The base stations are equipped with a UWB transceiver and an Ethernet controller, ensuring efficient reception and management of messages from multiple tags. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the system's validity and reliability of 3D positioning and IMU data transmission. The results demonstrate that UI-MoCap achieves centimeter-level 3D positioning accuracy and maintains consistent positioning performance over time. Moreover, UI-MoCap exhibits high update rates and a minimal packet loss rate for IMU data transmission, significantly outperforming Wi-Fi-based transmission techniques. Future work will explore the fusion of UWB and IMU technologies to further enhance positioning performance, with a focus on human movement analysis and rehabilitation applications.

    Abstract To faithfully transmit and decode signals released from presynaptic termini, postsynaptic compartments of neuronal synapses deploy hundreds of various proteins. In addition to distinct sets of proteins, excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic apparatuses display very different organization features and regulatory properties. Decades of extensive studies have generated a wealth of knowledge on the molecular composition, assembly architecture and activity-dependent regulatory mechanisms of excitatory postsynaptic compartments. In comparison, our understanding of the inhibitory postsynaptic apparatus trails behind. Recent studies have demonstrated that phase separation is a new paradigm underlying the formation and plasticity of both excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic molecular assemblies. In this review, we discuss molecular composition, organizational and regulatory features of inhibitory postsynaptic densities through the lens of the phase separation concept and in comparison with the excitatory postsynaptic densities.
