    Abstract Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) with the ability of bacterial identification is urgently needed for evidence-based antibiotic prescription. Herein, we propose an enzymatic AST (enzyAST) that employs β-d-glucuronidase as a biomarker to identify pathogens and profile phenotypic susceptibilities simultaneously. EnzyAST enables to offer binary AST results within 30 min, much faster than standard methods (>16 h). The general applicability of enzyAST was verified by testing the susceptibility of two

    Abstract This study aims to investigate the reliability and efficacy of rear 4-min Schirmer test, as a supplement indicator, in assessing tear secretion and diagnosing dry eye. 180 participants were enrolled in this study. Schirmer test I without anaesthesia was performed once on both eyes to determine the value of normal Schirmer test. The values of tear secretion were recorded at each minute. Other examinations included the following: the ocular surface disease index (OSDI), the standard patient evaluation of eye dryness (SPEED), fluorescein stain, tear film break-up time (BUT), and Meibomian gland (MG) secretion grading. The participants were divided into dry eye (DE) group and non-dry eye (ND) group. The values of the 2-min Schirmer test, rear 3-min Schirmer test, rear 4-min Schirmer test, and 5-min Schirmer test were 5.36 ± 4.63, 5.57 ± 2.11, 7.21 ± 4.13, and 10.93 ± 6.30, respectively, in the DE group. These indicators were 8.25 ± 6.80, 2.73 ± 2.31, 7.36 ± 3.42, and 11.84 ± 6.16, respectively, in the ND group. The rear 4-min Schirmer test had a significant correlation with OSDI and SPEED in the DE group (r =  - 0.242/ - 0.183) and in the ND group (r =  - 0.316/ - 0.373). Meanwhile, the rear 4-min Schirmer test had a stronger connection with fBUT (r = 0.159) and MG secretion (r =  - 0.162) in the DE group and also had higher accuracy in diagnosing severe DE and borderline DE. In conclusion, the rear 4-min Schirmer test may be a supplement indicator in assessing tear secretion and diagnosing DE.

    Abstract Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid, nondestructive analytical technique utilized in various fields. However, the NIR data, which consists of hundreds of dimensions, may exhibit considerable duplication in the spectrum information. This redundancy might impair modeling effectiveness. As a result, feature selection on the spectral data becomes critical. The Max-Relevance Min-Redundancy (mRMR) method stands out among the different feature selection techniques for dimensional reduction. The approach depends on mutual information (MI) between random variables as the basis for feature selection and is unaffected by modeling methods. However, it is necessary to clarify the benefits of the maximum correlation minimal redundancy algorithm in the context of near-infrared spectral feature selection, as well as its adaptability to various modeling methods. This research focuses on the NIR spectral dataset of maize germination rate, and the mRMR method is utilized to select spectral features. Based on the preceding foundation, we create models for Support Vector Regression, Gaussian Process Regression, Random Forest, and Neural Networks. The experimental findings demonstrate that, among the feature selection methods employed in this paper, the Max-Relevance Min-Redundancy algorithm outperforms others regarding the corn germination rate dataset.

    Abstract We present a deterministic fully dynamic algorithm with subpolynomial worst-case time per graph update such that after processing each update of the graph, the algorithm outputs a minimum cut of the graph if the graph has a cut of size at most $c$ for some $c = (\log n)^{o(1)}$. Previously, the best update time was $\widetilde O(\sqrt{n})$ for any $c > 2$ and $c = O(\log n)$ [Thorup, Combinatorica'07].

  7. Article ; Online: Whether including exotic species alters conservation prioritization: a case study in the Min River in southeastern China.

    Abstract Conservation practices from the perspective of functional diversity (FD) and conservation prioritization need to account for the impacts of exotic species in freshwater ecosystems. This work first simulated the influence of exotic species on the values of FD in a schemed mechanistic model, and then a practical case study of conservation prioritization was performed in the Min River, the largest river in southeastern China, to discuss whether including exotic species alters prioritization. The mechanistic model revealed that exotic species significantly altered the expected FD if the number of exotic species occupied 2% of the community. Joint species distribution modelling indicated that the highest FD occurred in the west, northwest and north upstreams of the Min River. Values of FD in 64.69% of the basin decreased after the exotic species were removed from calculation. Conservation prioritization with the Zonation software proved that if first the habitats of exotic species were removed during prioritization, 62.75% of the highest prioritized areas were shifted, average species representation of the endemic species was improved and mean conservation efficiency was increased by 7.53%. Existence of exotic species will significantly alter the metrics of biodiversity and the solution for conservation prioritization, and negatively weighting exotic species in the scope of conservation prioritization is suggested to better protect endemic species. This work advocates a thorough estimate of the impacts of exotic species on FD and conservation prioritization, providing complementary evidence for conservation biology and valuable implications for local freshwater fish conservation.

    Abstract Rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) with the ability of bacterial identification is urgently needed for evidence-based antibiotic prescription. Herein, we propose an enzymatic AST (enzyAST) that employs β-d-glucuronidase as a biomarker to identify pathogens and profile phenotypic susceptibilities simultaneously. EnzyAST enables to offer binary AST results within 30 min, much faster than standard methods (>16 h). The general applicability of enzyAST was verified by testing the susceptibility of two Escherichia coli strains to three antibiotics with different action mechanisms. The pilot study also shows that the minimal inhibitory concentrations can be determined by enzyAST with the statistical analysis of enzymatic activity of the bacteria population exposed to varying antibiotic concentrations. With further development of multiple bacteria and sample treatment, enzyAST could be able to evaluate the susceptibility of pathogens in clinical samples directly to facilitate the evidence-based therapy.

    Abstract Background: Door to balloon time is a crucial factor of mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. However, the factors that contribute to failure of achieving door to balloon time ≤ 90 min in an electrocardiogram triage system remain unknown.
    Methods: This single-center retrospective observational study collected data from consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction from April 2016 to March 2021. The primary outcome was the failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to predict factors associated with failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min.
    Results: In total, 190 eligible patients were included. Of these, the 139 (73.2%) patients with door to balloon time ≤ 90 min were significantly younger compared to those with door to balloon time > 90 min (p = 0.02). However, there was no significant difference in sex and timing of hospital arrival between the door to balloon time ≤ 90 and > 90 min groups. Presence of chest pain and ambulance usage were significantly more frequent in patients with door to balloon time ≤ 90 min (p ≤ 0.01, p = 0.02, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that absence of chest pain (adjusted odds ratio 4.76; 95% confidence interval, 2.04-11.1; p < 0.01) and non-ambulance usage (adjusted odds ratio 3.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.57-7.94; p < 0.01) are predictive factors of failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min.
    Conclusion: Patients without chest pain as the chief complaint or non-ambulance usage were significantly associated with the failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min.
