    Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical disease with a high incidence and mortality rate. It typically arises from hemodynamic alterations, sepsis, contrast agents, and toxic drugs, instigating a series of events that culminate in tissue and renal damage. This sequence of processes often leads to acute renal impairment, prompting the initiation of a repair response. Cellular senescence is an irreversible arrest of the cell cycle. Studies have shown that renal cellular senescence is closely associated with AKI through several mechanisms, including the promotion of oxidative stress and inflammatory response, telomere shortening, and the down-regulation of klotho expression. Exploring the role of cellular senescence in AKI provides innovative therapeutic ideas for both the prevention and treatment of AKI. Furthermore, it has been observed that targeted removal of senescent cells in vivo can efficiently postpone senescence, resulting in an enhanced prognosis for diseases associated with senescence. This article explores the effects of common anti-senescence drugs senolytics and senostatic and lifestyle interventions on renal diseases, and mentions the rapid development of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These studies have taken senescence-related research to a new level. Overall, this article comprehensively summarizes the studies on cellular senescence in AKI, aiming is to elucidate the relationship between cellular senescence and AKI, and explore treatment strategies to improve the prognosis of AKI.

    Abstract Owing to the rapid changes in the antigenicity of influenza viruses, it is difficult for humans to obtain lasting immunity through antiviral therapy. Hence, tracking the dynamic changes in the antigenicity of influenza viruses can provide a basis for vaccines and drug treatments to cope with the spread of influenza viruses. In this paper, we developed a novel quantitative prediction method to predict the antigenic distance between virus strains using attribute network embedding techniques. An antigenic network is built to model and combine the genetic and antigenic characteristics of the influenza A virus H3N2, using the continuous distributed representation of the virus strain protein sequence (ProtVec) as a node attribute and the antigenic distance between virus strains as an edge weight. The results show a strong positive correlation between supplementing genetic features and antigenic distance prediction accuracy. Further analysis indicates that our prediction model can comprehensively and accurately track the differences in antigenic distances between vaccines and influenza virus strains, and it outperforms existing methods in predicting antigenic distances between strains.

    Abstract The in-plane electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), implemented in a Michelson stellar interferometer-like configuration, offers high sensitivity and dynamic measurement. However, its limited angle of view (AOV) remains a major challenge for the rotation angle determination of multiple objects. In this Letter, we analyze the main factors that influence the AOV of the in-plane ESPI and propose an "image transmitting" approach to enlarge the AOV. With the aid of a folded dual-telescope imaging system, we develop an AOV-unlimited interferometer that can determine multi-object rotation angles in real time. The practicability of the interferometer is demonstrated by the application in real-time measuring of the rotation angles of the disks within a 2D granular system.

    Abstract AbstractObjective To investigate the predictive value of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for the effectiveness of infliximab (IFX) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).Methods All data were retrospectively collected from Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between January 2016 and September 2021. Clinical remission at 52 weeks is the primary endpoint.Results Altogether, 193 CD patients were enrolled. PNI can identify clinical remission (p = 0.004), and the optimal cut-off value of the PNI was 39.2. 92/116 (79.3%) and 44/77 (57.1%) in the high- and low-PNI groups were in clinical remission at week 52 (p = 0.001). Patients with low PNI have poor general health at baseline. The body mass index, hemoglobin, platelet (PLT), serum creatinine, fibrinogen, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), and location of disease significantly differed between the two groups (p < 0.05). PNI was negatively correlated with CRP, ESR, PLT and CDAI (p < 0.05). The lower PNI, smoking history, and higher CDAI at baseline were the independent risk factors of disease activity at 52 weeks (p < 0.05). The high-PNI group is less likely to develop poor outcomes (p = 0.033).Conclusion The PNI may serve as a novel and promising biomarker in predicting the effectiveness of IFX and contribute to targeted management in CD.

    Abstract In order to overcome the problems of slow rate of convergence and falling easily into local minimum in BP algorithm, this paper introduces the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm and combining model. The paper applies it to steam turbine-generators fault diagnosis. The experiment data shows that the algorithm converges quickly and recognizes faults efficiently; it has a reference value for faults diagnosis.

    Abstract The demand for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) vaccines was first raised by a committee convened during the 1990s. A comprehensive investigation into the mechanism of viral infection supports the prioritization of developing drugs or vaccines that specifically target receptors and ligands involved in the infection process. As primary targets for neutralizing antibodies to combat HCMV, viral ligands (trimer, pentamer, and glycoprotein B) have crucial roles and exhibit substantial antiviral potential, which could be exploited for breakthroughs in antiviral research.
