    Abstract The electrochemical NO reduction reaction (NORR) is a promising approach for both nitrogen cycle regulation and ammonia synthesis. Due to the relatively low concentration of the NO source and poor solubility of NO in solution, mass transfer limitation is a serious but easily overlooked issue. In this work, porous carbon-supported ultrafine Cu clusters grown on Cu nanowire arrays (defined as Cu@Cu/C NWAs) are prepared for low-concentration NORR. A high Faradaic efficiency (93.0%) and yield rate (1180.5 μg h

    Abstract Background: This study determined risk factors for Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP)in children admitted to a grade 3 first-class general hospital and developed an individualized line graph predictive model.
    Methods: The clinical data of 185 children infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae from January 2015 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were grouped according to carbapenem resistance: CRKP group (50 cases) and CSKP (carbapenem-sensitive Klebsiella pneumoniae) group (135 cases). Risk factors for CRKP in children were screened by logistic regression analysis. The predictive model was established using R software and validated using the Bootstrap method.
    Results: Age (odds ratio [OR]=0.104, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.026-0.408), intensive care unit admission (OR =2.829, 95% CI: 1.138-7.030), mechanical ventilation (OR =7.510, 95% CI: 3.140-17.961), surgery history (OR =5.005, 95% CI: 1.507-16.618) and glucocorticoid (OR =0.235, 95% CI: 0.099-0.557) were independent risk factors for CRKP in children (P < 0.05), The total risk score of each factor was 362.5, and the risk rate was 0.1-0.9. In receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve of CRKP predicted by the total risk score was 0.872 (95% CI=0.844-0.901; P < 0.001). The correction curve indicated that the consistency between the observed value and the predicted value was good.
    Discussion and conclusion: This study successfully established a model based on the risk factors, with high accuracy and good predictive value for CRKP in children. Hospitals should take necessary preventive measures against the risk factors for drug-resistant bacteria, such as optimizing the configuration of ICU space, timely isolation of infected children, and adequate disinfection of ICU equipment. Which may reduce CRKP infection rate.

    Abstract Abstract To address the problem that the features extracted by CNN‐based facial expression recognition (FER) do not consider structural information, a region adaptive correlation deep network (RACN) is proposed. The network consists of two branches. In one branch, the features obtained by applying CNN to facial sub‐blocks are used as the input of the proposed second‐order region correlation network (SRCN), which obtains structural features by adaptively learning the correlation of facial regions. Furthermore, they are fused with the parallel branch‐extracted global features to obtain a comprehensive high‐semantic feature representation. Finally, weights are assigned to the two features through the channel attention mechanism for more accurate expression classification. Experimental results show that our method can effectively extract expression features in an end‐to‐end manner, improve the accuracy of FER, and achieve competitive performance without relying on any a priori knowledge. And the region‐adaptive correlation feature extraction branch RACN can be applied to other deep learning networks to extract discriminative structural‐adaptive features. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first to enrich the feature representation for end‐to‐end static FER by adaptively obtaining more discriminative regional adaptive correlation feature vectors via the autocorrelation matrix combined with CNN compared to the existing literature.

    Abstract Introduction: Nature-based solutions (NBS) have been used to address a wide range of urban environmental challenges, an important aspect of which is to improve human health and well-being. However, most relevant studies focus either on what positive influences nature may have or on identifying what natural factors can have these benefits. Few have investigated the sensory composition of nature and the effects of nature in different sensory aspects on human health. Setting out from the multi-sensory perspective, this study aims to explore human behavior and emotional response from visual and aural contact with urban nature.
    Methods: Taking Jiangjia Art Garden in Chengdu as an example, natural attributes such as its visual (landscape) and aural (sound source) characteristics as well as people's activities (behavioral responses) were measured by on-site mapping analysis. This was done while a questionnaire-based survey was conducted to investigate people's emotional responses regarding their overall satisfaction, pleasantness, calm, and agreeableness.
    Results: The results indicated that nature-dominated visual landscapes such as grassland, waterscapes, and woodlands, as well as natural sounds such as bird sounds, chirp sounds, and wind sounds were found to be positively correlated to the vitality of activities and people's emotional status. Regarding behavioral responses, it was shown that grasslands and woodlands are more likely to be attractive places for recreation, and the vitality measured became extremely high when these two were paired with lakes. As for the emotional responses, people's perceived overall satisfaction, calm, and agreeableness were equally reflected in their behavioral patterns, suggesting a strong relationship with natural factors.
    Discussion: The research findings were visually presented in behavior and emotional maps to provide direct cues of informing the future design of high-quality urban green spaces and promoting the application of aural-visual experience in the design of urban nature areas.

    Abstract The advance of genetic function indicators has enabled the observation of neuronal activities at single-cell resolutions. A major challenge for the applications on mammalian brains is the limited optical access depth. Currently, the method of choice to access deep brain structures is to insert miniature optical components. Among these validated miniature optics, the gradient-index (GRIN) lens has been widely employed for its compactness and simplicity. However, due to strong fourth-order astigmatism, GRIN lenses suffer from a small imaging field of view, which severely limits the measurement throughput and success rate. To overcome these challenges, we developed geometric transformation adaptive optics (GTAO), which enables adaptable achromatic large-volume correction through GRIN lenses. We demonstrate its major advances through in vivo structural and functional imaging of mouse brains. The results suggest that GTAO can serve as a versatile solution to enable large-volume recording of deep brain structures and activities through GRIN lenses.

    Abstract The nitrogen removal characteristics and microbial response of biochar-immobilized mixed aerobic denitrifying bacteria (BIADB) were investigated at 25 °C and 10 °C. BIADB removed 53.51 ± 1.72 % (25 °C) and 39.90 ± 4.28 % (10 °C) nitrate in synthetic oligotrophic water. Even with practical oligotrophic water, BIADB still effectively removed 47.66-53.21 % (25 °C), and 39.26-45.63 % (10 °C) nitrate. The addition of inorganic electron donors increased nitrate removal by approximately 20 % for synthetic and practical water. Bacterial and functional communities exhibited significant temperature and stage differences (P < 0.05), with temperature and total dissolved nitrogen being the main environmental factors. The dominant genera and keystone taxa exhibited significant differences at the two temperatures. Structural equation model analysis showed that dissolved organic matter had the highest direct and indirect effects on diversity and function, respectively. This study provides an innovative pathway for utilizing biochar and inorganic electron donors for nitrate removal from oligotrophic waters.

    Abstract This study investigates the clinical features and therapeutic outcomes of otitis media with effusion (OME) in adults following infection with the Omicron variant of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in the context of China ending its "Zero-COVID-19" policy. Conducted as a multicenter, retrospective analysis at two medical institutions in Eastern China from December 2022 to February 2023, the study included patients with confirmed Omicron infection who were diagnosed with OME within two months, adhering to guidelines from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF). Data on demographics, time from infection to OME manifestation, associated symptoms, and treatment outcomes were collected. Among 68 patients (73 affected ears) with OME post-Omicron infection, common symptoms included cough and nasal obstruction (69.1%). All reported ear fullness, with 86.8% experiencing hearing loss. Tympanic bullae were observed in 72.6% during otoscopy, and most tympanometry results showed a B-type tympanogram (80.0%). An integrated treatment strategy led to an 83.6% cure rate, although 8.2% experienced relapse within 2-3 months. Our findings highlight OME as a prevalent ear complication associated with COVID-19 during the Omicron pandemic, underscoring the necessity for further investigation into its complexities. While the integrated treatment approach proved effective, the 8.2% post-treatment recurrence rate underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and signals an urgent need for more comprehensive research.

    Abstract Fish collagen peptide (FCP) has been extensively investigated as a natural product that can combat photoaging; however, its efficacy is limited by its singular composition. Compound collagen peptide powder (CCPP) is a novel functional food formulation that exhibits photoprotective properties and comprises FCP and a blend of natural botanical ingredients. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of CCPP and its molecular mechanism. CCPP had a low molecular weight, facilitating its efficient absorption, and was abundant in amino acids, total polyphenols, and total flavonoids. The results of in vivo studies demonstrated that CCPP exhibited significant efficacy in reducing skin wrinkles, enhancing the contents of water and oil in the skin, and ameliorating histopathological alterations in mice. The results of in vitro studies demonstrated that CCPP effectively mitigated photoaging in human skin fibroblasts by attenuating oxidative stress and promoting extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. Moreover, we clearly demonstrated that the TGF β1/Smad pathway was involved in the promotion of ECM synthesis and cell proliferation by CCPP in human skin fibroblasts. These findings suggest that, compared with single collagen, CCPP has a more comprehensive range of antiphotoaging properties.
