    Abstract Objective: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) after parathyroidectomy (PTX) is a serious complication, which can lead to diarrhea, convulsion, arrhythmia and even death. This study was aimed to determine the risk factors for HBS after PTX in dialysis patients with SHPT and construct a nomogram prediction model to predict the incidence of postoperative complications.
    Methods: Clinical data were collected from 80 maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with SHPT who received total PTX in the Second Hospital of Jilin University from January 2018 to September 2021. In line with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, totally 75 patients were finally enrolled for analysis. Patients were divided into two groups for retrospective analysis according to the severity of postoperative HBS, including HBS group and non-HBS (N-HBS) group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the risk factors for postoperative HBS. Afterwards, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted based on the statistical analysis results, aiming to compare the prediction effects of different predicting factors. Finally, the nomogram was established to evaluate the occurrence probability of postoperative complications predicted by the risk factors.
    Results: Among the 75 patients, 32 had HBS (HBS group), while 43 did not have HBS (N-HBS group). Univariate analysis results indicated that, the preoperative intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in HBS group were significantly higher than those in N-HBS group, while preoperative hemoglobin and preoperative albumin (Alb) levels were significantly lower than those in N-HBS group. As discovered by multivariate logistic regression analysis, preoperative iPTH (OR = 1.111, P = 0.029) and ALP (OR = 1.010, P < 0.001) were the independent risk factors for postoperative HBS. ROC curve analysis suggested that the area under the curve (AUC) values of these two indicators were 0.873 and 0.926, respectively (P < 0.0001). Subsequently, the nomogram model for predicting HBS was constructed. The model verification results indicated that the predicted values were basically consistent with the measured values, with the C-index of 0.943 (95% CI 0.892-0.994). Besides, the calibration curve was consistent with the ideal curve, demonstrating the favorable accuracy and discrimination of the model.
    Conclusions: Preoperative iPTH and preoperative ALP are the risk factors for postoperative HBS, which can be used to guide the early clinical intervention.

    Abstract Although intense efforts have been devoted to the development of thermally conductive epoxy resin composites, most previous works ignore the importance of the contact thermal resistance between epoxy resin composites and mating surfaces. Here, we report on epoxy resin/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) composites, which show low contact thermal resistance with the contacting surface by tuning adhesion energy. We found that adhesion energy increases with increasing the ratio of soybean-based epoxy resin/amino silicone oil and h-BN contents. The adhesion energy has a negative correlation with the contact thermal resistance; that is, enhancing the adhesion energy will lead to reduced contact thermal resistance. The contact thermal conductance increases with the h-BN contents and is low to 0.025 mm

    Abstract Scope: To summarize the effect of vitamin E-coated dialyzer membranes (VEMs) treatment or oral vitamin E intake on antioxidant molecules, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), and total antioxidant level in patients receiving dialysis.
    Methods and results: A literature search of PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and the Cochrane Library databases is performed from inception to July 1, 2023, with no language nor country restrictions. Twenty-four experimental studies involving 512 patients undergoing dialysis are selected for meta-analysis. The levels of antioxidant markers in the blood of patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) improve with long-term VEMs treatment (p = 0.016). According to the findings of each antioxidant index, there is a significant increase in the levels of erythrocyte-derived SOD (p = 0.047), CAT (p = 0.029), and plasma-derived total antioxidant level (p < 0.001). The antioxidant marker levels in patients receiving HD are significantly increased by oral vitamin E intake (p < 0.001). Erythrocyte-derived SOD (p = 0.003), GPX (p < 0.001), and CAT (p = 0.001) substantially improves after 2-6 months of intervention with oral vitamin E preparation. The antioxidant index of patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) is unaffected by oral vitamin E treatment (p = 0.945).
    Conclusion: Vitamin E therapy has a favorable effect on the retention of antioxidant compounds in patients undergoing dialysis.

    Abstract Multiagent systems face numerous challenges due to environmental uncertainty, with scalability being a critical issue. To address this, we propose a novel multi-agent cooperative model based on a graph attention network. Our approach considers the relationship between agents and continuous action spaces, utilizing graph convolution and recurrent neural networks to define these relationships. Graph convolution is used to define the relationship between agents, while recurrent neural networks define continuous action spaces. We optimize and model the multiagent system by encoding the interaction weights among agents using the graph neural network and the weights between continuous action spaces using the recurrent neural network. We evaluate the performance of our proposed model by conducting experimental simulations using a 3D wargame engine that involves several unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) acting as attackers and radar stations acting as defenders, where both sides have the ability to detect each other. The results demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods in terms of scalability, robustness, and learning efficiency.

    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disorder. With the improvement in human living standards, the prevalence of NAFLD has been increasing in recent years. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a class of exogenous chemicals that simulate the effects of hormones in the body. There has been growing evidence regarding the potential effects of EDCs on liver health, especially in NAFLD. This paper aims to summarize the major EDCs that contribute to the growing burden of NAFLD and to raise public awareness regarding the hazards posed by EDCs with the objective of reducing the incidence of NAFLD.

    Abstract Following the publication of the above article, a concerned reader drew to the authors' attention that the data shown for the 'CAOV3/NC mimics' experiment in Fig. 2D on p. 443 appeared to be the same as that shown for the 'TUG1‑sh+miR‑1299 inhibitors' experiment in Fig. 4H on p. 444. The authors have examined their original data, and realize that the same data was inadvertently included in the two figures. Consequently, the corrected version of Fig. 2, featuring the correct data for the 'CAOV3/NC mimics' experiment in Fig. 2D, is shown opposite. The overall conclusions of this study were not affected by this error. All the authors agree to the publication of this corrigendum, and are grateful to the Editor of

    Abstract Objective: Hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy (PTX) results in tetany, diarrhea, cardiac arrhythmia, and even sudden death. However, a meta-analysis or systematic evaluation of risk factors with the occurrence and development of hypocalcemia in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) after PTX has never been performed.
    Methods: A thorough search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE, was performed to retrieve relevant studies from database inception to June 2021. Quality of the included studies was assessed by two independent reviewers using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 16.0 were used for meta-analysis. The random-effects model was adopted to calculate the 95% CIs (
    Results: Thirteen studies including 2990 participants who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the present meta-analysis. The overall quality of the enrolled studies had a score of >7 points. Risk factors significantly related to hypocalcemia in patients with SHPT after PTX were preoperative serum calcium (OR 0.19, 95%CI 0.11-0.31), preoperative alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.01-1.02), and preoperative intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (OR 1.38, 95%CI 1.20-1.58). Meanwhile, age (OR 0.97, 95%CI 0.87-1.10) was not significantly correlated with hypocalcemia after PTX.
    Conclusions: Based on the current evidence, preoperative serum calcium, preoperative ALP, and preoperative iPTH were significant predictors of hypocalcemia in patients with SHPT after PTX. More attention should be given to patients with these risk factors for the prevention of postoperative hypocalcemia.
