Abstract	Background: Pelvic ectopic kidney is a kind of congenital malformations of urinary system due to the failure of ascent from the pelvis to the abdomen during development. Case presentation: A 39-year-old man was referred to the urology department of our hospital for abdominal pain for half a month. Radiographic studies revealed stones in pelvic ectopic left kidney. Laparoscopy-assisted ultrasound-guiding percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) was performed. Postoperative plain film revealed that the patient achieved a stone-free status. Conclusions: Laparoscopy-assisted ultrasound-guiding PCNL is a safe alternative for the treatment of stones in pelvic ectopic kidney with a high stone-free clearance.

Abstract	For environmental sustainability and resource security, the global energy system requires a revolutionary transition from traditional energy to green energy resources. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of economic policy uncertainty, technological innovation, ecological governance, and economic growth on the green energy transition in China. We employed a bootstrap auto-regressive distributive lag (BARDL) model to evaluate the long-run association between the study variables from Q1-2000 to Q4-2020. The preliminary finding confirms the long-run cointegration relationship among model variables. The results show that economic policy uncertainty and economic growth negatively derive green energy transition in the long-run. In contrast, technology innovation and environmental governance positively influence the green energy transition. These findings propose strengthening of the environmental governance mechanism and technology innovation to accelerate the green energy transition in China.

Abstract	Open-Curve Snake (OCS) has been successfully used in three-dimensional tracking of neurites. However, it is limited when dealing with noise-contaminated weak filament signals in real-world applications. In addition, its tracking results are highly sensitive to initial seeds and depend only on image gradient-derived forces. To address these issues and boost the canonical OCS tracker to a new level of learnable deep learning algorithms, we present Deep Open-Curve Snake (DOCS), a novel discriminative 3D neuron tracking framework that simultaneously learns a 3D distance-regression discriminator and a 3D deeply-learned tracker under the energy minimization, which can promote each other. In particular, the open curve tracking process in DOCS is formed as convolutional neural network prediction procedures of new deformation fields, stretching directions, and local radii and iteratively updated by minimizing a tractable energy function containing fitting forces and curve length. By sharing the same deep learning architectures in an end-to-end trainable framework, DOCS is able to fully grasp the information available in the volumetric neuronal data to address segmentation, tracing, and reconstruction of complete neuron structures in the wild. We demonstrated the superiority of DOCS by evaluating it on both the BigNeuron and Diadem datasets where consistently state-of-the-art performances were achieved for comparison against current neuron tracing and tracking approaches. Our method improves the average overlap score and distance score about 1.7% and 17% in the BigNeuron challenge data set, respectively, and the average overlap score about 4.1% in the Diadem dataset.

Abstract	Acute gouty arthritis (AGA) is a metabolic disorder in which recurrent pain episodes can severely affect the quality of life of gout sufferers. Electroacupuncture (EA) is a non-pharmacologic therapy. This systematic review aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture in treating acute gouty arthritis. We searched eight Chinese and English databases from inception to July 30, 2023, and 242 studies were retrieved. Finally, 15 randomized controlled trials (n=1076) were included in a meta-analysis using Review Manager V.5.4.1. meta-analysis results included efficacy rate, visual rating scale (VAS) for pain, serum uric acid level (SUA), immediate analgesic effect, and incidence of adverse events. Electroacupuncture (or combined non-pharmacologic) treatment of AGA was significantly different from treatment with conventional medications (RR = 1.14, 95% confidence interval CI = 1.10 to 1.19, P < 0.00001). The analgesic effect of the electroacupuncture group was superior to that of conventional Western drug treatment (MD = -2.26, 95% CI = -2.71 to -1.81, P < 0.00001). The electroacupuncture group was better at lowering serum uric acid than the conventional western drug group (MD =-31.60, CI -44.24 to -18.96], P < 0.00001). In addition, electroacupuncture combined with Western drugs had better immediate analgesic effects than conventional Western drug treatment (MD = -1.85, CI -2.65 to -1.05, P < 0.00001). Five studies reported adverse events in the electroacupuncture group versus the drug group, including 19 cases of gastrointestinal symptoms and 6 cases of neurological symptoms (RR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.88, P = 0.03).

Abstract	Soil-rock mixture (SRM) slopes are widely distributed in mountainous regions, where slope stability is an important issue. This paper presents a novel method to evaluate the stability of the SRM slopes that is different from the traditional method. Through a generation system of irregular rock and digital image processing, the SRM slope model is established for stability analysis through pyBIMstab, an automated failure path identification program. The results show that failure path with a 45° inclination angle is the most smooth and dangerous, similar to the finite difference method (FDM) results. Two tortuous indexes including tortuous length ratio (TLR) and the average tortuous width (ATW) are introduced to evaluate potential failure path tortuosity. The biggest enclosed area is 4.94 m² with an inclination angle of 90°, followed by 4.49 m² with an inclination angle 135°, which means an inclination angle perpendicular to the slope surface can improve stability. The influence of groundwater can weaken the parameter strength of soil and cause a reduction in the safety factor, leading to instability on the SRM slope. The minimum safety factor with groundwater is 1.341, compared with 1.489 for natural condition. Although this study has limitations to some extent, it provides a reference for the stability evaluation of SRM slopes.

Abstract	Dietary exposure to trace metals (TMs) through vegetable consumption has been identified as a potential risk to human health. Fifty-one paired agricultural soil and leaf vegetable samples were collected around V-containing stone coal smelting sites in Hunan Province, China, to study the contamination and transfer characteristics of TMs (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, V, and Zn) in the soil–vegetable system. The health risk to local residents through vegetable ingestion was evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations. The results showed that 96.2%, 23.1%, 53.8%, 30.8%, 96.2%, and 69.2% of the soil samples had Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, V, and Zn contents exceeding their related maximum allowable values, respectively. Cadmium and V were the primary pollutants based on the I geo values. Moreover, 46.9% and 48.4% of vegetable samples exceeded the maximum permissible levels for Cd and Pb, respectively. There was a negative correlation between the bioaccumulation factors for Cd and V of the vegetable and soil physicochemical properties, including pH, organic matter, and free Fe 2 O 3 content. Ingestion of garland chrysanthemum and pak choi posed high health risks, and Cd, V, and Pb were the primary contributors. These findings will help design strategies to minimize contamination and human exposure to soil–vegetable systems caused by V-containing stone coal smelting.

Abstract	An enhancer is a short DNA sequence containing many binding sites of transcription factors that plays a crucial role in the gene expression of major eukaryotes. It is difficult to avoid the time consumption and high cost of experimental methods. Therefore, with the continuous development of genomics, it is an urgent task to identify enhancers and their intensities by computational methods. In this paper, we propose a two-layer model called iEnhancer-MRBF, wherein the first layer is used to identify enhancers, and the identified enhancers are divided into strong enhancers and weak enhancers according to their strength in the second layer. In iEnhancer-MRBF, a new classifier multiple Laplacian-regularized radial basis function network (MLR-RBFN) is proposed, and three feature representation methods, namely, kmer, nucleotide binary profiles (NBP) and ac-cumulated nucleotide frequency (ANF), as well as feature selection, are used to process DNA sequences. The experimental results show that the model is significantly better than the previous prediction models, and the test accuracy rates of the first and second layers of independent datasets are 79.75% and 83.50%, respectively.
