    Abstract In recent years, the application of function approximators, such as neural networks and polynomials, has ushered in a new stage of development in solving optimal control problems. However, considering the existence of approximation errors, the stability of the controlled system cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in view of the prevalence of approximation errors, we investigate optimal tracking control problems for discrete-time systems. First, a novel value function is introduced into the intelligent critic framework. Second, an implicit method is utilized to demonstrate the boundedness of the iterative value functions with approximation errors. An explicit method is applied to prove the stability of the system with approximation errors. Furthermore, an evolving policy is designed to iteratively tackle the optimal tracking control problem and demonstrate the stability of the system. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed method is verified through numerical as well as practical examples.

    Abstract Background: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are a major source of osteoblast precursor cells and are directly involved in osteoporosis (OP) progression. Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is an important regulator for osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, its role and mechanism in osteogenic differentiation process deserve further investigation.
    Methods: hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by flow cytometry, alkaline phosphatase assay and alizarin red staining. Western blot was used to test osteogenic differentiation-related proteins, BRD4 protein, WNT family members-4 (WNT4)/NF-κB-related proteins, and glycolysis-related proteins. Metabolomics techniques were used to detect metabolite changes and metabolic pathways. BRD4 and WNT4 mRNA levels were determined using quantitative real-time PCR. Dual-luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay were performed to detect BRD4 and WNT4 interaction. Glycolysis ability was assessed by testing glucose uptake, lactic acid production, and ATP levels.
    Results: After successful induction of osteogenic differentiation, the expression of BRD4 was increased significantly. BRD4 knockdown inhibited hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation. Metabolomics analysis showed that BRD4 expression was related to glucose metabolism in osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, BRD4 could directly bind to the promoter of the WNT4 gene. Further experiments confirmed that recombinant WNT4 reversed the inhibition effect of BRD4 knockdown on glycolysis, and NF-κB inhibitors (Bardoxolone Methyl) overturned the suppressive effect of BRD4 knockdown on hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation.
    Conclusion: BRD4 promoted hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation by inhibiting NF-κB pathway via enhancing WNT4 expression.

    Abstract Background and aims: Maternal cardiac arrest is the most urgent clinical event in obstetrics and can lead to serious consequences, such as maternal or fetal death. Therefore, the training of team cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills for obstetricians is essential. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of applying intelligent simulation to CPR in maternal cardiac arrest teamwork training for obstetricians.
    Methods: Twenty-four obstetricians who participated in the "Maternal First Aid Workshop," organized by our hospital in 2018, were selected as training participants. The SimMan intelligent comprehensive patient simulator was used to train the CPR team collaboration with first-aid skills. Each team participating in the training was assessed before and after the training using a questionnaire survey.
    Results: The evaluation of the results after the training showed that all four teams were qualified and that the timing of the cesarean section was 100% correct. The mean score, team collaboration score, and chest compression fraction were significantly higher than before training. Teamwork CPR assessment time, interruption time of chest compressions, and artificial airway establishment time were significantly shorter than before training. The questionnaire survey showed that 95.8% of the physicians reported that the training was rewarding and helpful to their clinical work, and 100% of the physicians believed that obstetricians require similar training.
    Conclusion: Using the SimMan intelligent comprehensive patient simulator to train obstetricians for CPR of maternal cardiac arrest teamwork first-aid skills can significantly improve the training effect, clinical first-aid skills, and teamwork awareness.

    Abstract The performance of the heavy-duty escalator truss greatly affects the stability and service life of the whole escalator system, and the manufacturing cost of truss structure accounts for more than 1/5. Thus, how to design the truss structure reasonably is a pivotal issue drawing the attention of numerous engineers and researchers. In this work, the experimental research of heavy-duty escalators under full load conditions were performed in terms of the end restraints, the docking port clearances, and the deflection. Based on the experimental results, the three-dimensional simulation model of truss structure was created, and the influences of various factors such as the internal chamfer of truss member, the lower deviation of truss member, the dead weight of escalator, and the pretension force of each bolt at the docking port were analyzed and quantified. Finally, the finite element model which can almost completely characterize the actual structure was obtained with slight difference. The conclusions drawn in this work provide the basis for the efficient design, correct simulation, low cost production and rapid installation of the heavy-duty escalator truss.

    Abstract Porcine body length is closely related to meat production, growth, and reproductive performance, thus playing a key role in the profitability of the pork industry. Cartilage development is critical to longitudinal elongation of individual vertebrae. This study isolated primary porcine vertebral chondrocytes (PVCs) to clarify the complex mechanisms of elongation. We used transcriptome and target energy metabolome technologies to confirm crucial genes and metabolites in primary PVCs at different differentiation stages (0, 4, 8, and 12 days). Pairwise comparisons of the four stages identified 4566 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Time-series gene cluster and functional analyses of these DEGs revealed four clusters related to metabolic processes, cartilage development, vascular development, and cell cycle regulation. We constructed a transcriptional regulatory network determining chondrocyte maturation. The network indicated that significantly enriched transcription factor (TF) families, including zf-C2H2, homeobox, TF_bZIP, and RHD, are important in cell cycle and differentiation processes. Further, dynamic network biomarker (DNB) analysis revealed that day 4 was the tipping point for chondrocyte development, consistent with morphological and metabolic changes. We found 24 DNB DEGs, including the TFs

    Abstract A polymer actuator typically responds to only one or two types of stimuli, where sensing and actuation are simultaneously exerted by the same responsive polymer. In cells, sensing and actuation are exerted separately by different biomolecules, which are integrated into nanoscale assemblies to construct the signaling network, making cells a multistimuli responsive and multimodal system. Inspired by the structure-function relationship of the signaling network in cells, we have developed a strategy to select and assemble proper functional polymers into assemblies, where sensing and actuation are exerted by different polymers, and the assemblies can present novel functions beyond that of each polymer component.

    Abstract Covalently identical ortho-F nuclei display dual ¹⁹F NMR signals in di-ortho-F substituted N-phenyl γ-lactams. Structural variations at C9-substituent on the γ-lactam lead to larger chemical shift changes at downfield ¹⁹F signals (δdₒwₙ) than those at upfield ¹⁹F signals (δᵤₚ). A “reverse” correlation between downfield ¹⁹F chemical shifts and electron-withdrawing abilities of C9-phenylamides is observed. Electrostatic effects are the major forces between C9-substituents and ortho-F nuclei, and Hammett parameters can be used to describe such through-space interactions. Structural factors influencing ortho-¹⁹F shielding among diverse C9-substituted N-phenyl γ-lactams are discussed.
