    Abstract Background: The rules of attack in table tennis tactics have been discovered by the coaches and researchers of the Chinese table tennis team (CTTT) through long-term practice. However, they are only empirical judgements and have not been objectively verified.
    Methods: The software "Table Tennis Master" has been used to analyse 200 matches of top players of CTTT against various opponents in recent years to obtain detailed statistics by analysing the effect of attack in the end line (AIEL) and attack out of the end line (AOEL).
    Results: (1) The scoring rate of the players was high after AIEL but very low after AOEL (p < 0.05); (2) the round of service (serve/receive) and level of skills had little influence on the effect of AIEL and AOEL; and (3) the timing of attack had a great influence on the effect of AIEL and AOEL (r > 0.9).
    Conclusions: In the high-level table tennis match, the rules of AIEL and AOEL are scientific. In accordance with the rules, the complex tactics can be simplified to the two concepts, AIEL and AOEL.

    Abstract Soybean (Glycine max) is economically significant, but the mechanisms underlying its adaptation to simultaneous low phosphorus and salt stresses are unclear. We employed the Shennong 94-1-8 soybean germplasm to conduct a comprehensive analysis, integrating both physiochemical and transcriptomic approaches, to unravel the response mechanisms of soybean when subjected to simultaneous low phosphorus and salt stresses. Remarkably, the combined stress exhibited the most pronounced impact on the soybean root system, which led to a substantial reduction in total soluble sugar (TSS) and total soluble protein (TSP) within the plants under this treatment. A total of 20,953 differentially expressed genes were identified through pairwise comparisons. Heatmap analysis of genes related to energy metabolism pathways demonstrated a significant down-regulation in expression under salt and low phosphorus + salt treatments, while low phosphorus treatment did not exhibit similar expression trends. Furthermore, the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) indicated that the blue module had a strong positive correlation with TSS and TSP. Notably, 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate-dependent phosphoglycerate mutase 1, FCS-Like Zinc finger 8, auxin response factor 18 isoform X2, and NADP-dependent malic enzyme emerged as hub genes associated with energy metabolism. In summary, our findings indicate that soybean roots are more adversely affected by salt and combined stress than by low phosphorus alone due to reduced activity in energy metabolism-related pathways and hub genes. These results offer novel insights into the adaptive mechanisms of soybeans when facing the combined stress of low phosphorus and salinity.

    Abstract This work aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of strain elastography (elasticity score) and its accuracy for breast BI-RADS category 4 lesions. Online databases including Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched for eligible articles published prior to March 10, 2022. The pooled effect indicators including sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (PLR, NLR), the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were utilised to assess the strain elastography's performance in diagnosing BI-RADS category 4 lesions. Subgroup analyses and meta-regressions were used to explore the potential sources of heterogeneity, and the Deeks' funnel plot asymmetry test was used to detect any publication bias. The literature search yielded 11 studies involving 5028 BI-RADS category 4 lesions (including 1809 malignant lesions). The recruited lesions were all from Asian females. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, and DOR with the 95% confidence intervals were 0.68 (0.66-0.71), 0.83 (0.82-0.85), 3.36 (2.45-4.60), 0.32 (0.21-0.49), and 12.11 (7.46-19.65), respectively. The area under the SROC curve was 0.85. No significant publication bias was detected. Taken together, strain elastography had suboptimal sensitivity but desirable specificity for the accurate diagnosis of BI-RADS category 4 lesions among Asian females, which can help avoid unnecessary biopsies and reduce patient anxiety. Key Words: BI-RADS category 4 lesions, Strain elastography, Meta-analysis.

    Abstract Rich literature has examined the impact of the built environment on commuting distance. Linear models assume that the influence of the built environment is spatially homogeneous. However, given the spatial heterogeneity of urban space, conclusions might be different or even be contrary. The influence of the built environment might also be different by home and work locations. To explore the spatially heterogeneous effect of the built environment from both home-based and work-based perspectives, this study applied large-scale cellular cellphone data in Guangzhou, China. Commuting was measured by decay parameters of probabilistic distributions of commuting distances. Geographically weighted regression models were applied to examine the spatially heterogeneous effect, differentiated by home-based and work-based perspectives. Results confirmed that the impact of the built environment on commuting distance is spatially heterogeneous. The urban space is classified into clusters of central areas, inner suburbs, and outer suburbs. Results also revealed the double-edged effect of the built environment. Residential population, recreation facilities, and mixed development are residence-attractive factors that increase the home-based commuting distance and decrease the work-based commuting distance. Work population and transport facilities are work-attractive factors that decrease home-based commuting distance and increase work-based commuting distance. The results further provide evidence to support area-based policies in urban planning practice.

    Abstract Respiratory diseases due to viral or bacterial agents, either alone or in combination, cause substantial economic burdens to the swine industry worldwide. Rapid and reliable detection of causal pathogens is crucial for effective epidemiological surveillance and disease management. This research aimed to employ the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay for simultaneous detection of seven distinct pathogens causing respiratory problems in swine, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), swine influenza virus (SIV), porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV), porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), Pasteurella multocida, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, and Glässerella parasuis. The results indicated no probe cross-reactivity among the seven target agents with other swine pathogens. The detection limits ranged from 5 to 34 copies per assay for the target organisms. The MLPA assay was evaluated with 88 samples and compared to real-time or multiplex PCR for the target pathogens. The MLPA assay demonstrated high relative test sensitivities (100 %) and reasonable to good relative specificities at 62.5 %, 95.1 %, 86.8 %, and 97.6 % for PRRSV, P. multocida, G. parasuis, and PCV2, respectively, relative to comparator PCR assays. In 71 samples where MLPA and comparator PCR assays matched exactly, infections were detected in 64 samples (90.1 %), with PRRSV being the most commonly found virus and 50.7 % of the samples showing co-infection with two to five of the pathogens. This approach serves as a valuable tool for conducting differential diagnoses and epidemiological investigations of pathogen prevalence within swine populations.

    Abstract Background: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is commonly observed in clinical practice, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the correlation between the expression of a Ras-related protein Rab32 and pyroptosis in rats following PNI, and potential mechanisms have been explored by which Rab32 may influence Schwann cells pyroptosis and ultimately peripheral nerve regeneration (PNR) through the regulation of Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.
    Methods: The authors investigated the induction of Schwann cell pyroptosis and the elevated expression of Rab32 in a rat model of PNI. In vitro experiments revealed an upregulation of Rab32 during Schwann cell pyroptosis. Furthermore, the effect of Rab32 on the level of ROS in mitochondria in pyroptosis model has also been studied. Finally, the effects of knocking down the Rab32 gene on PNR were assessed, morphology, sensory and motor functions of sciatic nerves, electrophysiology and immunohistochemical analysis were conducted to assess the therapeutic efficacy.
    Results: Silencing Rab32 attenuated PNI-induced Schwann cell pyroptosis and promoted peripheral nerve regeneration. Furthermore, our findings demonstrated that Rab32 induces significant oxidative stress by damaging the mitochondria of Schwann cells in the pyroptosis model in vitro.
    Conclusion: Rab32 exacerbated Schwann cell pyroptosis in PNI model, leading to delayed peripheral nerve regeneration. Rab32 can be a potential target for future therapeutic strategy in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries.
