    Abstract Optical remote sensing (ORS) of reflected sun light has been used to assess oil spills in the ocean for several decades. While most applications are toward simple presence/absence detections based on the spatial contrast between oiled water and oil-free water, recent advances indicate the possibility of classifying oil types and quantifying oil volumes based on their spectral contrasts with oil-free water. However, a review of the current literature suggests that there is still confusion on whether this is possible and, if so, how. Here, based on the recent findings from numerical models, laboratory measurements, and applications to satellite or airborne imagery, we attempt to clarify this situation by summarizing (1) the optics behind oil spill remote sensing, and in turn, (2) how to interpret optical remote sensing imagery based on optical principles. In the end, we discuss the existing limitations and challenges as well as pathways forward to advance ORS of oil spills.

    Abstract The rapid growth of clinical trials launched in recent years poses significant challenges for accurate and efficient trial search. Keyword-based clinical trial search engines require users to construct effective queries, which can be a difficult task given complex information needs. In this study, we present an interactive clinical trial search interface that retrieves trials similar to a target clinical trial. It enables user configuration of 13 clinical trial features and 4 metrics (Jaccard similarity, semantic-based similarity, temporal overlap and geographical distance) to measure pairwise trial similarities. Among 1,007 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) trials conducted in the United States, 91.9% were found to have similar trials with the similarity threshold being 0.85 and 43.8% were highly similar with the threshold 0.95. A simulation study using 3 groups of similar trials curated by COVID-19 clinical trial reviews demonstrates the precision and recall of the search interface.

    Abstract Formaldehyde scavenger microcapsules were introduced into particleboard to prepare an ecofriendly particleboard with a low pollution release in response to the problem of long-term unstable free formaldehyde release from particleboards. By analyzing key parameters of formaldehyde emission from particleboard, the effects of microcapsules on the diffusion, migration and inhibition of free formaldehyde in particleboard pore structures was discussed. The results showed that microencapsulated formaldehyde scavenger prepared by an emulsification cross-linking method with chitosan as the wall material and urea as the core material resulted in a good long-term controlled release effect on formaldehyde emission. Compared with that of the control panel, the formaldehyde emission of the particleboard with microcapsules decreased by 51.4 % and 25.8 % at 28 d and 180 d, respectively. The addition of formaldehyde scavenger microcapsules increased the particleboard macroscopic pore volume, which facilitated the conversion of adsorbed formaldehyde into free formaldehyde in the pore structure, thereby promoting its migration and diffusion in the particleboard pores. Moreover, the synergistic effect of the addition-condensation and nucleophilic cross-linking of the core and wall materials quickly captured the free formaldehyde in the panels and reduced the releasable concentration of formaldehyde in the material, thus achieving the long-term effective control of formaldehyde emission.

    Abstract Objective: We present the Clinical Trial Knowledge Base, a regularly updated knowledge base of discrete clinical trial eligibility criteria equipped with a web-based user interface for querying and aggregate analysis of common eligibility criteria.
    Materials and methods: We used a natural language processing (NLP) tool named Criteria2Query (Yuan et al., 2019) to transform free text clinical trial eligibility criteria from ClinicalTrials.gov into discrete criteria concepts and attributes encoded using the widely adopted Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) and stored in a relational SQL database. A web application accessible via RESTful APIs was implemented to enable queries and visual aggregate analyses. We demonstrate CTKB's potential role in EHR phenotype knowledge engineering using ten validated phenotyping algorithms.
    Results: At the time of writing, CTKB contained 87,504 distinctive OMOP CDM standard concepts, including Condition (47.82%), Drug (23.01%), Procedure (13.73%), Measurement (24.70%) and Observation (5.28%), with 34.78% for inclusion criteria and 65.22% for exclusion criteria, extracted from 352,110 clinical trials. The average hit rate of criteria concepts in eMERGE phenotype algorithms is 77.56%.
    Conclusion: CTKB is a novel comprehensive knowledge base of discrete eligibility criteria concepts with the potential to enable knowledge engineering for clinical trial cohort definition, clinical trial population representativeness assessment, electronical phenotyping, and data gap analyses for using electronic health records to support clinical trial recruitment.

    Abstract Introduction: Metronomic chemotherapy (MCT) is based on frequent dosing of the drug. . This leads to pharmacologically active but low plasma concentrations that reduce toxicity. MCT seems to work primarily via indirect effects on tumor cells and their microenvironment, rather than direct antitumor effects. Oral vinorelbine is one of the most widely studied MCT approaches in both advanced breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.
    Expert opinion: MCT with vinorelbine has proven efficacy, tolerability and quality of life benefits both as monotherapy and in combination with other MCTs or targeted agents, in first-line therapy and in previously treated patients. Key populations are emerging who may be particularly well suited to metronomic vinorelbine, including those with indolent disease, older individuals, and those with multiple comorbidities and/or bone metastases. Ongoing trials should help to further delineate these target groups. Additional work is needed to better understand the optimal vinorelbine regimen, particularly when used in combination or in non-Caucasian patients. Markers are also required to help identify individuals who are most likely to respond. Nonetheless, the efficacy and tolerability of MCT, allied to improved patient convenience, reduced need for medical engagement and lower cost, make it an appealing option - particular in resource-constrained healthcare environments.

    Abstract Background: Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is a promising method for the detection of biochemical alterations in cancers and neurological diseases. However, the sensitivity of the currently existing quantitative method for detecting ischemia needs further improvement.
    Methods: To further improve the quantification of the CEST signal and enhance the CEST detection for ischemia, we used a quantitative analysis method that combines an inverse Z-spectrum analysis and a 5-pool Lorentzian fitting. Specifically, a 5-pool Lorentzian simulation was conducted with the following brain tissue parameters: water, amide (3.5 ppm), amine (2.2 ppm), magnetization transfer (MT), and nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE; -3.5 ppm). The parameters were first calculated offline and stored as the initial value of the Z-spectrum fitting. Then, the measured Z-spectrum with the peak value set to 0 was fitted via the stored initial value, which yielded the reference Z-spectrum. Finally, the difference between the inverse of the Z-spectrum and the inverse of the reference Z-spectrum was used as the CEST definite spectrum.
    Results: The simulation results demonstrated that the Z-spectra of the rat brain were well simulated by a 5-pool Lorentzian fitting. Further, the proposed method detected a larger difference than did either the saturation transfer difference or the 5-pool Lorentzian fitting, as demonstrated by simulations. According to the results of the cerebral ischemia rat model, the proposed method provided the highest contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between the contralateral and the ipsilateral striatum under various acquisition conditions. The results indicated that the difference of fitted amplitudes generated with a 5-pool Lorentzian fitting in amide at 3.5 ppm (6.04%±0.39%; 6.86%±0.39%) was decreased in a stroke lesion compared to the contralateral normal tissue. Moreover, the difference of the residual of inversed Z-spectra in which 5-pool Lorentzian fitting was used to calculate the reference Z-spectra (

    Abstract Background and objective: Sintilimab is a selective PD-1 inhibitor with efficacy in advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of sintilimab + chemotherapy versus camrelizumab + chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC in Chinese patients. In addition, this study aimed to reveal the impact of the reference treatment choice on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) results.
    Methods: A partitioned survival model (PSM) with three health states was constructed in a 3-week cycle with a lifetime horizon from the Chinese healthcare system perspective. Anchored matching adjusted indirect comparison was used for survival analyses based on individual patient data from Orient-11. Sintilimab + chemotherapy was chosen as the reference treatments in scenarios 1 and 2, while the camrelizumab + chemotherapy was chosen as the reference treatments in scenario 3. The utility values of different health states were derived from the patient-level European Organization for Research and Treatment Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) scores by mapping to the EQ-5D-5L, and QALYs were calculated as the health outcomes. One-way deterministic sensitivity analysis (DSA) and probability sensitivity analysis (PSA) were performed to explore model uncertainty.
    Results: Compared to camrelizumab + chemotherapy, sintilimab + chemotherapy was associated with higher effectiveness (incremental QALYs ranged from 0.13-0.62) and lower total costs (incremental costs ranged from $1,099-$5,201), resulting in an ICER ranging from $6,440-$8,454/QALY.
    Conclusions: Sintilimab + chemotherapy is a cost-effective option compared with camrelizumab + chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC in China.

    Abstract Wood is a green, environmentally sustainable, high-performance structural material that is an attractive candidate to replace nonenvironmental structural materials. However, the mechanical performance of natural wood is generally insufficient in many advanced engineering structures and applications. Herein, we report a simple and effective strategy in a new type of green-enhanced wood development to synthesize a high mechanical biomass structure material from renewable wood resources. In this process, the lignin of the natural wood is partially removed, and the hard cell walls become pliable and easy to handle. After treatment, the wood fiber structure is preserved, and the wood fibers are closely arranged after densification, which shows the reinforced wood with high mechanical properties. The resulting reinforced wood is 8 times stronger than the starting wood and comparable to widely used structure materials such as concrete, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and magnesium alloy. This method of manufacturing reinforced wood with green, rich, and renewable natural wood is extremely attractive for the sustainable development of engineering structural materials, which broadens the potential of wood as structural materials.
