    Abstract A fast local refinement algorithm based on feature extraction is developed. In the mesh-based Reynolds equation solutions, two refinement features based on the physical parameters of fluid lubrication are firstly defined, namely, pressure value feature and pressure gradient feature. Then, a fast adaptive strategy different from the traditional methods based on residuals or recovery errors is constructed according to the features, which are expected to determine the element needed to be refined. Considering the update requirement of the feature parameters, an adaptive update strategy for feature parameters is also developed. Finally, the feasibility of the scheme is verified on a single-cylinder gasoline engine. Results show that the current algorithm can effectively reduce the computational scale while ensuring the computational accuracy of the mesh-based model, compared with the traditional global and local refinement strategy.

    Abstract ConspectusThe invention of the laser is a pivotal milestone in the evolution of modern science and technology. Second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, which possess the ability to convert frequencies, have found widespread applications in laser science, information transmission, industrial Internet, and other cutting-edge fields within materials and optics. As modern science and technology continue to advance at a rapid pace, existing ultraviolet (UV) and deep ultraviolet (DUV) NLO crystals struggle to meet the ever-growing demands of various applications. Consequently, the development of novel UV and DUV NLO crystals has become an urgent necessity. For a UV NLO crystal to be considered outstanding in the UV/DUV range, it must exhibit three fundamental yet crucial properties: large second-order NLO coefficients, suitable birefringence, and short UV cutoff edge corresponding to a wide band gap. However, these key factors often conflict with one another, making it challenging to achieve a harmonious balance within a single crystal. It is widely believed that these mutually constrained optical properties are codetermined by microscopic NLO-active units and macroscopic structure features. Therefore, how to design high performance UV NLO-active groups to balance these three key properties is an essential scientifically question and serious challenge. In this Account, we present three strategies for designing high-performance UV NLO-active groups: (1) The "tetrahedron partial substitution" strategy by employing various substituents to replace one or more atoms in the traditional nonpolar tetrahedral groups, might achieve the aim of increasing the polarizability anisotropy and hyperpolarizability of the newly formed polar tetrahedral functional groups, such as from SO

    Abstract Background: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a prevalent condition in spinal surgery, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture has gained clinical attention as a potential treatment for LDH in recent years.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture combined with acupoint massage in LDH patients.
    Methods: We enrolled a total of 135 LDH patients treated at our hospital from May 2021 to February 2023. Among them, 63 patients received acupuncture treatment (control group), while the remaining 72 received acupuncture combined with acupoint massage (observation group). We compared treatment efficacy and the time it took for lumbar stiffness, lower back and leg pain, bending and flexing difficulties, and other symptoms to disappear between the two groups. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopedic Association Scoring System (JOA) were used to evaluate patients' pain levels and lumbar vertebral function before and after treatment. Additionally, we assessed patients using the Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOL-74) and recorded their treatment satisfaction.
    Results: The observation group exhibited a slightly higher total effective rate compared to the control group, with a shorter time for the resolution of lumbar stiffness, lower back pain, leg pain, and other symptoms (P < .05). Furthermore, the observation group had lower VAS scores and higher JOA scores (P < .05). They also achieved higher GQOL-74 scores and reported greater treatment satisfaction (P < .05).
    Conclusions: Acupuncture combined with acupoint massage effectively alleviated clinical symptoms and pain in LDH patients, demonstrating significant clinical utility.

    Abstract Inorganic adducts are an emerging class of infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, although the reported NLO adducts have sufficient birefringences and significant laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs), they commonly suffer from weak second harmonic generation (SHG) responses. In this work, a series of polar phosphorus chalcogenide cage molecules with strong hyperpolarizabilities were theoretically screened out to enhance the SHG responses of adducts. Accordingly, (CuI)

    Abstract Both monetary loss and pain have been studied for decades, but evidence supporting the relationship between them is still lacking. We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the overlapping brain regions between monetary loss and pain, including physical pain and social pain. Regardless of the type of pain experienced, activation of the anterior insula was a shared neural representation of monetary loss and pain. The network representation pattern of monetary loss was more similar to that of social pain than that of physical pain. In conclusion, our research provided evidence of the common neural correlates of monetary loss and pain.

    Abstract Purpose: The relationship between dietary protein intake and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains inconsistent and unclear. Here, we examined the correlation between the various sources of protein intake among Chinese pregnant women and GDM.
    Methods: This prospective cohort study included 1060 pregnant women at 6-13
    Results: About 26.3% (n = 279) of pregnant women were diagnosed with GDM. Animal protein intake was revealed to have a positive correlation with GDM risk (Q4 vs. Q1: OR, 2.78; 95% CI, 1.46-5.34; P = 0.015), whereas high intake levels of dietary plant protein were linked to reduced GDM risk (Q4 vs. Q1: OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.25-0.73). In stratified analysis, the relationship between protein and GDM was stronger during early pregnancy in women with obesity. However, total protein intake did not show a significant association with GDM.
    Conclusions: Our study findings suggest that a plant protein-based diet was associated with reduced GDM risk, whereas the dietary intake of animal protein was positively associated with GDM risk among Chinese women during early pregnancy.

    Abstract Esophageal cancer is one of the deadliest cancers. Circular RNA (CircRNA) can be used as a tumor marker. Therefore, this provides an important idea for our research. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to analyze the expression of circ_0058063, miR-377-3p and homeobox protein Hox-A1 (HOXA1), western blot was used to analyze the protein levels of HOXA1 and cyclinD1, B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 associated X (Bax). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay and wound healing assay were used to analyze cell proliferation and migration; apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Dual-luciferase reporter assays were performed to analyze the luciferase activities. Transwell assay was used to analyze the cell invasion. A glycolysis metabolism assay was used to analyze cell glycolysis ability. Xenograft models were used to validate the effect of circ_0009035 in the growth of esophageal cancer in vivo . Circ_0009035 and HOXA1 were upregulated, while miR-377 was downregulated in esophageal cancer.. Circ_0058063 targeted miR-377-3p, and HOX4 was a target of miR-377-3p. Knockdown of circ_0058063 inhibited migration, invasion and proliferation and promoted apoptosis of esophageal cancer cells. MiR-377-3p inhibition or HOXA1 overexpression could restore the effect of si-circ_0058063 on esophageal cancer cells. Knockdown of circ_0058063 repressed the growth of esophageal cancer tumors in vivo. Our study found that circ_0058063 could regulate the expression of HOXA1 by targeting miR-377-3p, thereby affecting the progress of esophageal cancer.

    Abstract The study sought to investigate whether and how expectation violation can modulate attention using the exogenous spatial cueing paradigm, under the theoretical framework of the Memory Encoding Cost (MEC) model. The MEC proposes that exogenous spatial cueing effects are mainly driven by a combination of two distinct mechanisms: attentional facilitation triggered by the presence of an abrupt cue, and attentional suppression induced by memory encoding of the cue. In current experiments, participants needed to identify a target letter that was sometimes preceded by a peripheral onset cue. Various types of expectation violation were introduced by regulating the probability of cue presentation (Experiments 1 & 5), the probability of cue location (Experiments 2 & 4), and the probability of irrelevant sound presentation (Experiment 3). The results showed that expectation violation could enhance the cueing effect (valid vs. invalid cue) in some cases. More crucially, all experiments consistently observed asymmetrical modulation of expectation violation on the cost (invalid vs. neutral cue) and benefit (valid vs. neutral cue) effects: Expectation violation increased the cost effects while did not modulate or decreased (or even reversed) the benefit effects. Furthermore, Experiment 5 provided direct evidence that violation of expectations could enhance the memory encoding of a cue (e.g., color) and this memory advantage could manifest quickly in the early stages of the experiment. The MEC better explains these findings than some traditional models like the spotlight: Expectation violation can both enhance the attentional facilitation of the cue and memory encoding of irrelevant cue information. These findings suggest that expectation violation has a general adaptive function in modulating the attention selectivity.
