    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to review the levels of vitamin A and selenium in children with echinococcosis in Ganzi and Aba.
    Methods: Twenty-six children with cystic echinococcosis and 104 apparently healthy controls from the Aba and Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan province in China were recruited. The serum levels of selenium and vitamin A of the cases and controls were detected and stratified by sex and age.
    Results: The results showed that the ratio of boys to girls was 1:1.36. Compared with the healthy controls, the vitamin A serum levels of the cases significantly declined. The rate of selenium deficiency was high in the cases, but there was no significant difference compared with the control group. Additionally, the lower the vitamin A serum level, the higher the risk for developing echinococcosis.
    Conclusions: To improve management strategies in children with cystic echinococcosis, or possibly to prevent the disease, children living in high-risk areas for cystic echinococcosis should be given supplemental vitamin A and encouraged to consume a vitamin A-rich diet containing paw-paw, carrot, palm oil, or fish. Children with vitamin A deficiency in high-risk areas should be screened for cystic echinococcosis.

    Abstract In the present study, a specific and sensitive approach using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the quantitative analysis of 14 constituents in rat plasma, liver, and heart. The method was fully validated and successfully applied to pharmacokinetic, hepatic disposition, and heart tissue distribution studies of 14 compounds after the oral administration of Qi-Li-Qiang-Xin capsule. Ginsenoside Rb1, alisol A, astragaloside IV, and periplocymarin were found to be highly exposed in rat plasma, while toxic components such as hypaconitine, mesaconitine, and periplocin had low circulation levels in vivo. Moreover, sinapine thiocyanate, neoline, formononetin, calycosin, and alisol A exhibited significant liver first-pass effects. Notably, high levels of alisol A, periplocymarin, benzoylmesaconine, and benzoylhypaconine were observed in the heart. Based on high exposure and appropriate pharmacokinetic features in the systemic plasma and heart, astragaloside IV, ginsenoside Rb1, periplocymarin, benzoylmesaconine, benzoylhypaconine, and alisol A can be considered as the main potentially effective components. Ultimately, the results provide relevant information for discovery of effective substances, as well as further anti-heart failure action mechanism investigations of Qi-Li-Qiang-Xin capsule.

    Abstract Background: Ancient Di-Qiang people once resided in the Ganqing region of China, adjacent to the Central Plain area from where Han Chinese originated. While gene flow between the Di-Qiang and Han Chinese has been proposed, there is no evidence to support this view. Here we analyzed the human remains from an early Di-Qiang site (Mogou site dated ~4000 years old) and compared them to other ancient DNA across China, including an early Han-related site (Hengbei site dated ~3000 years old) to establish the underlying genetic relationship between the Di-Qiang and ancestors of Han Chinese.
    Results: We found Mogou mtDNA haplogroups were highly diverse, comprising 14 haplogroups: A, B, C, D (D*, D4, D5), F, G, M7, M8, M10, M13, M25, N*, N9a, and Z. In contrast, Mogou males were all Y-DNA haplogroup O3a2/P201; specifically one male was further assigned to O3a2c1a/M117 using targeted unique regions on the non-recombining region of the Y-chromosome. We compared Mogou to 7 other ancient and 38 modern Chinese groups, in a total of 1793 individuals, and found that Mogou shared close genetic distances with Taojiazhai (a more recent Di-Qiang population), Hengbei, and Northern Han. We modeled their interactions using Approximate Bayesian Computation, and support was given to a potential admixture of ~13-18% between the Mogou and Northern Han around 3300-3800 years ago.
    Conclusions: Mogou harbors the earliest genetically identifiable Di-Qiang, ancestral to the Taojiazhai, and up to ~33% paternal and ~70% of its maternal haplogroups could be found in present-day Northern Han Chinese.

    Abstract The authors sought to examine the posttraumatic impact among Qiang women aged 18 years or older in 2 villages of Maoxian county 1 year after the Wenchuan earthquake and determined the variables associated with mental health status and posttraumatic symptoms for further psychological interventions. They interviewed 270 Qiang women. Psychological health status was assessed using the Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ-12). Posttraumatic symptoms were assessed using the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R), Chinese version. The results showed that 141 (52.2%) of the participants had psychological problems. The widowed and those who witnessed casualty scored higher on the CHQ-12. Among those surveyed, 100 (37.0%) women's mean intrusion subscale scores were ≥2; for 71 (26.3%) women, the mean avoidance score was ≥2; and for 88 (32.6%), the mean hyperarousal score was ≥2. Also, 23 (8.5%) women had scores ≥2 on all the 3 subscales. Those who had no job, were injured, and had witnessed casualties scored higher on each subscale of the IES-R.

    Abstract In order to comprehend the molecular composition of coal and better understand the process of coal combustion, this study involved the development of a molecular structure model for Heiyanquan coal in Xinjiang, as well as the optimization and annealing dynamics simulation of the model. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were utilized to investigate the spontaneous combustion characteristics of coal at different temperatures (room temperature, 50-500 °C with 50 °C interval). The findings revealed that the coal primarily consists of aromatic carbon, with the aromatic structure mainly comprising naphthalene, anthracene, and phenanthrene, and the aliphatic carbon mainly consisting of CH

    Abstract In this article, we give an event-based control algorithm for nonlinear active suspension systems (ASSs) with the vertical displacement constraint. For in-vehicle communication networks, the controller area network (CAN) is a widely used standard for interconnecting electronic control units (ECUs). The main task in this work is, thus, to reduce the communication burden on the CAN. To this end, we develop a dynamic event-triggered communication mechanism in ASSs. Meanwhile, in practice, the vehicle safety is degraded when the body vibration exceeds the allowable maximum. Thus, the vertical displacement of ASSs should be constrained within a reliable range. For this purpose, we present a novel finite-time integral barrier Lyapunov function (FTIBLF), which not only guarantees that the vertical displacement constraint bounds are not violated, but also enables the position of the suspension to be stabilized in the neighborhood of a desired position in finite settling time. Furthermore, neural networks (NNs) are utilized to identify the unknown nonlinear characteristics in ASSs subjected to the modeling error and unknown mass. As a result, we propose an adaptive neural control technique based on the dynamic event-triggered condition, which helps to improve the ride comfort while ensuring the driving safety and handling stability. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the validity of the presented methodology.

    Abstract The hot deformation behavior of titanium matrix composites plays a crucial role in determining the performance of the formed components. Therefore, it is significant to establish an accurate constitutive relationship between material deformation parameters and flow stress. In this study, hot compression experiments were conducted on a (2.5 vol%TiB + 2.5 vol%TiC)/TC4. The experiments were performed under temperatures ranging from 1013.15 to 1133.15 K and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 0.1 s
