    Abstract This study explores the image of China projected in the Chinese version of President Xi Jinping’s overseas signed articles (OSAs) and their English translations regarding the review and proposal sections. A parallel corpus of 56 OSAs in two languages is established for synchronic and diachronic analysis (2014–2021). Linguistic choices in the system of AGENCY in systemic functional linguistics are focused to investigate whether an event is construed as self-engendered happening or being caused by an external Agent. The study finds that through consistent linguistic choices of demonstrating events as either actions or happenings, the images of China construed discursively in the proposal section are generally active, responsible, competent and cooperative in both versions. However, in the review, a modest, equal and inclusive images in Chinese originals of OSAs published in developed countries shift into active, competent and exclusive in their English translations. Both linguistic and contextual factors are examined to explain such shifts in language and image.

    Abstract Background: Coagulation factor XI deficiency is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease with a low incidence. It usually occurs after surgery or trauma; Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract in China. But so far, surgery-based comprehensive treatment of esophageal cancer still dominates.
    Case presentation: We report a case of an Asian patient with XI factor deficiency and lower esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who was admitted to our hospital recently. After active preoperative preparation, the operation was successfully performed, and there was no obvious abnormal bleeding during and after the operation.
    Conclusions: Coagulation factor XI deficiency is a relatively rare disease, and patients with the disease will face a greater risk of bleeding during the perioperative period. The encouraging perioperative outcome enables us to have a deeper understanding of surgical treatment strategies for patients with Coagulation factor XI deficiency.

    Abstract Anticoagulation therapy stands as a key treatment for thrombotic diseases. The consequential bleeding risk tied to existing anticoagulation methods significantly impacts patient prognosis. In the intensive care unit (ICU), patients often necessitate organ support, leading to the inevitable placement of artificial devices in blood vessels, thereby requiring anticoagulation treatment to avert clot formation that might impede organ support. Nevertheless, these patients commonly encounter a heightened risk of bleeding. Hemophilia B, identified in 1953, manifests as a deficiency in coagulation factor XI (FXI), which focused people's perspective on the endogenous coagulation pathway, that is, the contact pathway. Upon interaction between the surface of artificial devices and FXII, FXII activates, subsequently triggering FXI and initiating the "coagulation cascade" within the contact pathway. Inhibitors targeting the contact pathway encompass two primary categories: FXII inhibitors and FXI inhibitors, capable of impeding this process. This article reviews the role of FXII and FXI in activating the contact pathway, seeking to illuminate their contributions to thrombus formation. By listing the relatively mature drugs and their indications, clinicians are familiar with this new anticoagulant.

    Abstract Factor XI (FXI) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder of unpredictable severity that correlates poorly with FXI coagulation activity and that poses great challenges for perioperative hemostatic management and the dialysis methods potentially available to new end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. We describe an individual with both ESRD and severe FXI deficiency, who successfully underwent peritoneal dialysis (PD) after emergency abdominal surgery. In the traditional concept, recent abdominal surgery is a contraindication to PD, especially for patients with bleeding risk. However, this case report highlights that PD can still be an possible option for patients with FXI deficiency who have just undergone abdominal surgery; laparoscopic PD catheter placement offers a chance to establish PD access in patients traditionally viewed as noncandidates for this method. Careful perioperative management and fresh frozen plasma transfusion ensure successful surgery. This case should be of help to clinicians and patients considering PD in similar situations.

    Abstract Vehicular emissions contribute significantly to air pollution, and the number of vehicles in use is continuing to rise. Policymakers thus need to formulate vehicular emission reduction policies to improve urban air-quality. This study used different vehicle control scenarios to predict the associated potential of mitigating carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxide (NOₓ), particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM₂.₅), and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm (PM₁₀) in Xi’an China, in 2020 and 2025. One business-as-usual scenario and six control scenarios were established, and vehicular emission inventory was developed according to each scenario. The results revealed that eliminating high-emission vehicles and optimizing after-treatment devices would effectively reduce vehicular emissions. In addition, increasing the number of alternative fuel vehicles, restraining vehicle use, and restraining the growth of the vehicle population would all have certain effects on CO and VOCs emissions, but the effects would not be significant for NOx, PM₂.₅, and PM₁₀. The results also indicated that if all control measures were stringently applied together, emissions of CO, VOCs, NOₓ, PM₂.₅, and PM₁₀ would be reduced by 51.66%, 51.58%, 30.19%,71.12%, and 71.81% in 2020, and 53.55%, 51.44%, 19.09%, 54.88%, and 55.51%, in 2025, respectively.

    Abstract We present a Bayesian formulation for deep speaker embedding, wherein the xi-vector is the Bayesian counterpart of the x-vector, taking into account the uncertainty estimate. On the technology front, we offer a simple and straightforward extension to the now widely used x-vector. It consists of an auxiliary neural net predicting the frame-wise uncertainty of the input sequence. We show that the proposed extension leads to substantial improvement across all operating points, with a significant reduction in error rates and detection cost. On the theoretical front, our proposal integrates the Bayesian formulation of linear Gaussian model to speaker-embedding neural networks via the pooling layer. In one sense, our proposal integrates the Bayesian formulation of the i-vector to that of the x-vector. Hence, we refer to the embedding as the xi-vector, which is pronounced as /zai/ vector. Experimental results on the SITW evaluation set show a consistent improvement of over 17.5% in equal-error-rate and 10.9% in minimum detection cost.

    Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) genomics shows immense promise for studying X chromosome inactivation (XCI) by interrogating changes to the X chromosomes' 3D states. Here, we sought to characterize the 3D state of the X chromosome in naïve and primed human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Using chromatin tracing, we analyzed X chromosome folding conformations in these cells with megabase genomic resolution. X chromosomes in female naïve hPSCs exhibit folding conformations similar to the active X chromosome (Xa) and the inactive X chromosome (Xi) in somatic cells. However, naïve X chromosomes do not exhibit the chromatin compaction typically associated with these somatic X chromosome states. In H7 naïve human embryonic stem cells,

    Abstract Background: To explore the application value of intraoperative imaging by indocyanine green (ICG) injection through the collection system of the urinary tract for Da Vinci Xi robot navigation in complex surgeries on the upper urinary tract.
    Methods: Data of 14 patients who underwent complex surgeries of the upper urinary tract post-ICG injection through the collection system of the urinary tract in combination with Da Vinci Xi robot navigation in the Tianjin First Central Hospital between December 2019 and October 2021 were analyzed in this retrospective study. The operation duration, estimated blood loss, and exposure time of ureteral stricture to ICG were evaluated. The renal functions and tumor relapse were evaluated after surgery.
    Results: Of the fourteen patients, three had distal ureteral stricture, five had ureteropelvic junction obstruction, four presented duplicate kidney and ureter, one had a giant ureter, and one presented an ipsilateral native ureteral tumor after renal transplantation. The surgeries in all patients were successful, with no conversion to open surgery. In addition, no injury to the surrounding organs, anastomotic stenosis or leakage, or ICG injection-related side effects were detected. Imaging at 3 months post-operatively revealed improved renal functions compared to those before the operation. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed in patient 14.
    Conclusion: Fluorescence imaging compensating for the inadequacy of tactile feedback in the surgical operating system has advantages in identifying the ureter, determining the site of ureteral stricture, and protecting the blood flow for the ureter.
