    Abstract The human respiratory system is a complex and important system that can suffer a variety of diseases. Single-cell sequencing technologies, applied in many respiratory disease studies, have enhanced our ability in characterizing molecular and phenotypic features at a single-cell resolution. The exponentially increasing data from these studies have consequently led to difficulties in data sharing and analysis. Here, we present scMoresDB, a single-cell multi-omics database platform with extensive omics types tailored for human respiratory diseases. scMoresDB re-analyzes single-cell multi-omics datasets, providing a user-friendly interface with cross-omics search capabilities, interactive visualizations, and analytical tools for comprehensive data sharing and integrative analysis. Our example applications highlight the potential significance of BSG receptor in SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as the involvement of HHIP and TGFB2 in the development and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. scMoresDB significantly increases accessibility and utility of single-cell data relevant to human respiratory system and associated diseases.

    Abstract Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as a promising and revolutionizing technology for future wireless networks. Most existing IRS studies focus on simple cooperative systems which usually have a single frequency band. In realistic non-cooperative multi-band networks, however, the existing IRS designs may be not applicable or have severe performance degradation. Thus, in the complex network environment, it is more rational to consider IRSs as public resources to be dynamically allocated to appropriate users. In this paper, we first introduce the auction theory to tackle the resource management problem for a multi-IRS-assisted non-cooperative network. An efficient auction algorithm framework is introduced to sub-optimally solve this non-convex problem. Simulation result illustrates that the significant performance improvement can be achieved by applying the auction algorithm in the complex multi-IRS-assisted non-cooperative network.

    Abstract A manta ray biomimetic glider is designed and studied with both laboratory experiments and numerical simulations with a new dynamic update method called the motion-based zonal mesh update method (MBZMU method) to reveal its hydrodynamic performance. Regarding the experimental study, an ejection gliding experiment is conducted for qualitative verification, and a hydrostatic free-fall experiment is conducted to quantitatively verify the reliability of the corresponding numerical simulation. Regarding the numerical simulation, to reduce the trend of nose-up movement and to obtain a long lasting and stable gliding motion, a series of cases with the center of mass offset forward by different distances and different initial angles of attack have been calculated. The results show that the glider will show the optimal gliding performance when the center of mass is 20mm in front of the center of geometry and the initial attack angle range lies between A0 = -5° to A0 = -2.5° at the same time. The optimal gliding distance can reach six times its body length under these circumstances. Furthermore, the stability of the glider is explained from the perspective of Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) configuration.

    Abstract Although severe abdominal pain is the main symptom of acute pancreatitis, its mechanisms are poorly understood. An emerging body of literature evidence indicates that neurogenic inflammation might play a major role in modulating the perception of pain from the pancreas. Neurogenic inflammation is the result of a crosstalk between injured pancreatic tissue and activated neurons, which leads to an auto-amplification loop between inflammation and pain during the progression of acute pancreatitis. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the role of neuropeptides, ion channels, and the endocannabinoid system in acute pancreatitis-related pain. We also highlight potential therapeutic strategies that could be applied for managing severe pain in this disease.

    Abstract Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has been widely considered as one of the key enabling techniques for future wireless communication networks owing to its ability of dynamically controlling the phase shift of reflected electromagnetic (EM) waves to construct a favorable propagation environment. While IRS only focuses on signal reflection, the recently emerged innovative concept of intelligent omni-surface (IOS) can provide the dual functionality of manipulating reflecting and transmitting signals. Thus, IOS is a new paradigm for achieving ubiquitous wireless communications. In this paper, we consider an IOSassisted multi-user multi-input single-output (MU-MISO) system where the IOS utilizes its reflective and transmissive properties to enhance the MU-MISO transmission. Both power minimization and sum-rate maximization problems are solved by exploiting the second-order cone programming (SOCP), Riemannian manifold, weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE), and block coordinate descent (BCD) methods. Simulation results verify the advancements of the IOS for wireless systems and illustrate the significant performance improvement of our proposed joint transmit beamforming, reflecting and transmitting phase-shift, and IOS energy division design algorithms. Compared with conventional IRS, IOS can significantly extend the communication coverage, enhance the strength of received signals, and improve the quality of communication links.

    Abstract Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) has emerged as a revolutionizing solution to enhance wireless communications by intelligently changing the propagation environment. Prior studies on IRS are based on an ideal reflection model with a constant amplitude and a variable phase shift. However, it is difficult and unrealistic to implement an IRS satisfying such ideal reflection model in practical applications. In this letter, we aim to investigate the phase-amplitude-frequency relationship of the reflected signals and propose a practical model of reflection coefficient for an IRS-aided wideband system. Then, based on this practical model, joint transmit power allocation of each subcarrier and IRS beamforming optimization are investigated for an IRS-aided wideband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Simulation results illustrate the importance of the practical model on the IRS designs and validate the effectiveness of our proposed model.

    Abstract Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is deemed as a promising and revolutionizing technology for future wireless communication systems owing to its capability to intelligently change the propagation environment and introduce a new dimension into wireless communication optimization. Most existing studies on IRS are based on an ideal reflection model. However, it is difficult to implement an IRS which can simultaneously realize any adjustable phase shift for the signals with different frequencies. Therefore, the practical phase shift model, which can describe the difference of IRS phase shift responses for the signals with different frequencies, should be utilized in the IRS optimization for wideband and multi-band systems. In this paper, we consider an IRS-assisted multi-cell multi-band system, in which different base stations (BSs) operate at different frequency bands. We aim to jointly design the transmit beamforming of BSs and the reflection beamforming of the IRS to minimize the total transmit power subject to signal to interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) constraints of individual user and the practical IRS reflection model. With the aid of the practical phase shift model, the influence between the signals with different frequencies is taken into account during the design of IRS. Simulation results illustrate the importance of considering the practical communication scenario on the IRS designs and validate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

    Abstract Introduction: Multiple drug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial (MDR-GNB) bacteraemia poses a serious threat to patients in hospital. Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) patients are a vulnerable population to infectious complications during hospitalization. This study aims to evaluate the impact of MDR Gram-negative bacteraemia on IPN patients.
    Methods: A case-control study was performed with data collected from 1 January 2016 to 1 July 2022 in a Chinese tertiary teaching hospital. Clinical data of the IPN patients with MDR-GNB bacteraemia were analyzed and compared to those of a matched control group without MDR-GNB bacteraemia (case-control ratio of 1:2). Comparisons were performed between with/without MDR-GNB bacteraemia and different severities of acute pancreatitis (AP). Independent predictors of overall mortality were identified
    Results: MDR-GNB bacteraemia was related to a higher mortality rate (62.5% vs. 8.3%,
    Conclusion: A higher mortality rate in IPN patients was related to MDR-GNB bacteraemia and further increased in severe AP patients combined with MDR-GNB bacteraemia.
