    Abstract There are urgent ecological and environmental problems in the process of the utilization of urban construction land, promoting green utilization of construction land is conducive to urban sustainable development and high-quality economic development. Based on the panel data of 108 prefecture-level and above cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, China from 2003 to 2017, this paper uses the super-efficiency SBM model to measure the green efficiency of urban construction land (GEUCL), analyzes its spatial-temporal evolution characteristics, and constructs the spatial autoregressive model to study its spatial spillover effects from the perspective of urban hierarchy. It is found that, in terms of temporal variation, the average efficiency value shows a fluctuating upward trend during the study period, rising from 0.27 in 2003 to 0.39 in 2017, the cumulative growth rate is 44.44%, with an average annual growth rate of 3.14%. In terms of spatial distribution characteristics, during the study period, the number of medium-efficiency and high-efficiency cities increases significantly, while the number of low-efficiency cities decreases sharply; high-efficiency cities always present scattered distribution, while medium-efficiency cities change from scattered distribution to agglomeration distribution. In addition, GEUCL has significantly positive spatial spillover effects between neighboring cities of different grades and between neighboring cities of the same grade, among them, the increase of GEUCL in higher-grade cities has significantly positive spatial spillover effects on that in adjacent lower-grade cities; the increase of GEUCL in lower-grade cities has significantly positive spatial spillover effects on that in neighboring higher-grade cities; GEUCL has significantly positive spatial spillover effects between neighboring cities of the same grade.

    Abstract In the process of global urban development, there are urgent ecological security and environmental pollution problems, green development is the fundamental way for urban sustainable development, economic transformation and mitigation of ecological and environmental problems. Based on the panel data of 283 cities at prefecture level and above in China from 2003 to 2017, this paper analyzes spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of urban green development efficiency (UGDE) and the peer effects of UGDE between cities of different grades. It is found that during the study period, in terms of temporal evolution, the average UGDE in China increased from 0.47 in 2003 to 0.61 in 2017, with a cumulative growth rate of 29.79%, showing a rising trend in general. In terms of spatial evolution, the number of low-efficiency cities and medium-efficiency cities continued to decrease. The eastern region has always been the main distribution area of higher-efficiency cities and high-efficiency cities; in the central region, UGDE in most cities improved significantly; in the western region, UGDE has always lagged behind that in the eastern and central regions. In addition, the center of gravity of UGDE presented a trend of northwest migration in general, with a total displacement of 100.07 km, and UGDE showed a spatial dispersion trend. The empirical results indicate that the improvement of UGDE in large cities has a driving effect on that in neighboring medium cities and small cities through the positive peer effect, and the growth of UGDE in medium cities has a promoting effect on that in neighboring small cities through the positive peer effect; the increase of UGDE in medium cities has a positive peer effect on that in neighboring large cities, and the growth of UGDE in small cities has a positive peer effect on that in neighboring medium cities; UGDE promotes each other between large cities through the positive peer effect.

    Abstract It has become an emerging idea for fitness apps to be gamified to intrinsically and extrinsically motivate user's usage intention or behavior. For the long-term success of gamified fitness apps, understanding what and how various motivations affect continued use is critical. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies was used to explore two research questions concerning gamified fitness applications. Specifically, the research questions focused on understanding the impacts of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations on continued usage. Additionally, the study aimed to investigate whether extrinsic motivations enhance or diminish the influence of intrinsic motivations. Results from qualitative study identified three intrinsic motivations (self-development, self-control and hedonic motivation) and two extrinsic motivations (social recognition and financial reward) in gamified fitness apps. Results from quantitative study indicated that intrinsic motivations (formed by self-development, self-control and hedonic motivation), financial reward and social recognition could significantly improve intention for continued use; and further, both financial reward and social recognition could crowd-in intrinsic motivations. This research offers insights into the phenomenon of motivation crowding effects on the intention to continue using gamified fitness apps.

    Abstract Objectives: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the leading cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, with its underlying mechanisms still elusive. This study aims to investigate the role of cholesterol-25-monooxygenase (CH25H) in T2DM induced cardiomyopathy.
    Methods: High fat diet combined with streptozotocin (HFD/STZ) were used to establish a T2DM model. CH25H and its product 25-hydroxycholesterol (25HC) were detected in the hearts of T2DM model. Gain- or loss-of-function of CH25H were performed by receiving AAV9-cTNT-CH25H or CH25H knockout (CH25H
    Results: CH25H and 25HC were significantly decreased in the hearts of T2DM mice. CH25H
    Conclusion: Our study provides compelling evidence supporting the protective role of CH25H in T2DM-induced cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, the regulation of PGC-1α may be intricately involved in this cardioprotective process.

    Abstract Background and objective: Increasing evidence suggests that inflammation plays an essential role in cancer development and progression. The levels of inflammation-related indicators are correlated with prognosis across a wide variety of tumor types, including prostate cancer (PCa), but its diagnostic and prognostic value in PCa remains controversial. In the present review, the diagnostic and prognostic value of inflammation-related indicators in PCa patients is investigated.
    Methods: A literature review was performed using the PubMed database, screening articles from English and Chinese journals published mainly from 2015 to 2022.
    Key content and findings: Inflammation-related indicators based on haematological tests have some diagnostic and prognostic value not only when used alone but also in combination with common clinical indicators such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and can significantly improve the accuracy of diagnostic results. Elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-count ratio (NLR) is strongly associated with the detection of PCa in men with PSA levels of 4-10 ng/mL. Preoperative NLR levels in localized PCa patients affect their overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCRFS) after radical prostatectomy (RP). In patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), a high NLR is associated with poorer OS, progression-free survival (PFS), CSS, and radiographic PFS. Platelet-to-lymphocyte-count ratio (PLR) appears to have the greatest accuracy in predicting an initial diagnosis of clinically significant PCa. The PLR also has the potential to predict the Gleason score. Patients with higher PLR levels have a higher risk of death compared to those with a lower PLR. Elevated procalcitonin (PCT) is correlated with the development of PCa and may be useful in improving the diagnostic accuracy of PCa. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are an independent predictor of poorer OS in metastatic PCa.
    Conclusions: Numerous studies have been conducted on the value of inflammation-related indicators in guiding the diagnosis and treatment of PCa. The value of inflammation-related indicators in predicting the diagnosis and prognosis of PCa patients is now becoming clear.

    Abstract Dragon fruit is one of the most popular fruits in China and Southeast Asia. It, however, is mainly picked manually, imposing high labor intensity on farmers. The hard branches and complex postures of dragon fruit make it difficult to achieve automated picking. For picking dragon fruits with diverse postures, this paper proposes a new dragon fruit detection method, not only to identify and locate the dragon fruit, but also to detect the endpoints that are at the head and root of the dragon fruit, which can provide more visual information for the dragon fruit picking robot. First, YOLOv7 is used to locate and classify the dragon fruit. Then, we propose a PSP-Ellipse method to further detect the endpoints of the dragon fruit, including dragon fruit segmentation via PSPNet, endpoints positioning via an ellipse fitting algorithm and endpoints classification via ResNet. To test the proposed method, some experiments are conducted. In dragon fruit detection, the precision, recall and average precision of YOLOv7 are 0.844, 0.924 and 0.932, respectively. YOLOv7 also performs better compared with some other models. In dragon fruit segmentation, the segmentation performance of PSPNet on dragon fruit is better than some other commonly used semantic segmentation models, with the segmentation precision, recall and mean intersection over union being 0.959, 0.943 and 0.906, respectively. In endpoints detection, the distance error and angle error of endpoints positioning based on ellipse fitting are 39.8 pixels and 4.3°, and the classification accuracy of endpoints based on ResNet is 0.92. The proposed PSP-Ellipse method makes a great improvement compared with two kinds of keypoint regression method based on ResNet and UNet. Orchard picking experiments verified that the method proposed in this paper is effective. The detection method proposed in this paper not only promotes the progress of the automatic picking of dragon fruit, but it also provides a reference for other fruit detection.
