    Abstract Background: Endoscopic surgery for malignant breast tumors is becoming more and more popular and has been applied in the clinical setting. Single-port endoscopic-assisted radical mastectomy in retrograde way and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation are rare. Therefore, this study described a new endoscopic technique for breast surgery.
    Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 12 patients with breast cancer diagnosed in the Department of Thyroid Breast Surgery of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively selected and underwent axillary single-port endoscopic-assisted radical mastectomy in retrograde way and immediate reconstruction using prosthesis implantation.
    Results: The average operation time was 190.25±25.40 min, the average blood loss was 86.25±33.11 mL, the average drainage volume was 207.92±65.90 mL 3 days after surgery, and the average hospital stay was 9.67±2.57 days. The follow-up period ranged from 11 to 21 months, with an average of 16.75 months. Medial paresthesia was present in only one patient, which decreased or disappeared after 3 months. No complications such as wound infection or limb dysfunction occurred in the remaining patients. Postoperative follow-up showed that 10 patients were very satisfied, one patient was relatively satisfied, and one patient was not satisfied.
    Conclusions: Preliminary data attested the feasibility and the safety of this approach. It can improve patient satisfaction compared with traditional modified radical mastectomy for suitable candidates. However, long-term data are needed to confirm the oncological safety and the esthetic stability of the result.

    Abstract Self-referential information has been shown to optimize behavioral performance in various domains. The present study examined the role of self-referential information as a cue to enhance cognitive control and, more specifically, conflict adaptation. A revised color Stroop task was used with stimuli consisting of possessive pronouns and color words (e.g., "my green"). The results showed that self-referential information reduced conflict adaptation (the congruency sequence effect at trial level in Experiment 1, at block level in Experiment 2, and the list-wide proportion congruency effect at block level in Experiment 3). These findings suggest that self-referential information can act as a cue to optimize conflict adaptation. This study highlights the role of self-referential information in cognitive control adjustments.

    Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer in adults, with temozolomide (TMZ) being widely used as the standard chemotherapy drug for its treatment. However, GBM frequently becomes resistant to TMZ treatment due to various mechanisms including amplification and mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), where EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII) is the most common EGFR mutation. Autophagy (macroautophagy) is an intracellular "self-degradation" process involving the lysosome. It mainly plays a pro-cell survival role contributing to drug resistance in cancers including GBM, but, under some conditions, it can induce cell death called autophagy-induced cell death (AuICD). We recently published that TSSC4 (tumor suppressing subtransferable candidate 4) is a novel tumor suppressor and a novel autophagy inhibitor that inhibits cancer cell growth through its interacting with the autophagy protein LC3. In this brief research report, we demonstrate that cell death induced by TMZ in GBM cells is inhibited by overexpression of TSSC4. TSSC4 overexpression also prevents TMZ-induced autophagy but not when TSSC4 is mutated in its conserved LC3-interacting region. When EGFRvIII was expressed in GBM cells, TSSC4 protein was increased and TMZ-induced cell death was decreased. Knockout of TSSC4 in EGFRvIII-expressing GBM cells increased TMZ-induced autophagy and cell death. This cell death was decreased by autophagy inhibition, suggesting that TSSC4 downregulation promotes TMZ-induced AuICD. This indicates that TSSC4 is a novel target to sensitize GBM cells to TMZ treatment.

    Abstract Existing low-light image enhancement techniques face challenges in achieving high visual quality and computational efficiency, as well as in effectively removing noise and adjusting illumination in extremely dark scenes. To address these problems, in this paper, we propose an illumination enhancement network based on Retinex theory for fast and accurate brightening of images in low-illumination scenes. Two learning-based networks are carefully constructed: decomposition network and enhancement network. The decomposition network is responsible for decomposing the low-light input image into the initial reflectance and illumination map. The enhanced network includes two sub-modules: the illumination enhancement module and the reflection denoising module, which are used for efficient brightness enhancement and accurate reflectance. Specially, we have established a cascaded iterative lighting learning process and utilized weight sharing to conduct accurate illumination estimation. Additionally, unsupervised training losses are defined to improve the generalization ability of the model. The proposed illumination enhancement framework enables noise suppression and detail preservation of the final decomposition results. To establish the efficacy and superiority of the model, on the widely applicable LOL dataset, our approach achieves a significant 9.16% increase in PSNR compared to the classical Retinex-Net, and a remarkable enhancement of 19.26% compared to the latest SCI method.

    Abstract The yield of C4 olefin is often low due to the complexity of the associated products. Finding the optimal ethanol reaction conditions requires repeated manual experiments, which results in a large consumption of resources. Therefore, it is challenging to design ethanol reaction conditions to make the highest possible yield of C4 olefin. This paper introduces artificial intelligence technology to the optimization problem of C4 olefin production conditions. A sample incremental eXtreme Gradient Boosting tree based on Gaussian noise (GXGB) is proposed to establish the objective function of the variables to be optimized. The Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), which has an improved advantage in the optimization efficiency, is used to combine with GXGB. Therefore, a kind of hybrid model GXGB-SSA that can solve the optimization of complex problems is proposed. The purpose of this model is to find the combination of ethanol reaction conditions that makes the maximum yield of C4 olefin. In addition, due to the insufficient interpretation ability of GXGB on the data, the SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) value method is creatively introduced to investigate the effect of each ethanol reaction condition on the yield of C4 olefin. The constraints of each decision variable for optimization are adjusted according to the analysis results. The experimental results have showed that the proposed GXGB-SSA model obtained the combination of ethanol reaction conditions that maximized the yield of C4 olefin.

    Abstract Volatilization plays an important role in the attenuation and redistribution of petroleum products in contaminated porous media. However, the volatilization behavior of petroleum products exposed to freeze-thaw cycles is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the volatilization behavior of diesel oil-water-glass bead systems under different freeze-thaw cycles. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) was used to quantitatively and spatially monitor the mass loss of the diesel oil-water-glass bead system during volatilization. The mechanism of the influence of freeze-thaw cycles on volatilization in the diesel oil-water-glass bead system was analyzed. The results show that the freeze-thaw cycles have a significant effect on the volatilization rate of diesel oil and water. As the number of freeze-thaw cycles increases, the volatilization rate of diesel oil shows an overall downward trend while the volatilization rate of water shows an overall upward trend. The volatilization loss of the liquids (both diesel oil and water) is mainly due to the volatilization loss of water, indicating that water is more volatile than diesel oil in the diesel oil-water system. The spatial distribution of the diesel oil signal monitored by LF-NMR showed that diesel oil volatilizes mainly in the upper layer of the sample, associating with the preferential volatilization loss in the large pores. The lumped parameter λ related to the characteristic volatilization length L

    Abstract Ammonia leaching of Co-bearing resources has attracted attention due to its selectivity to cobalt and mild leaching conditions. However, in ammonia leach liquor, cobalt and ammonia are complexed stably, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of preparing cobalt products from the solution. In this study, ammonia distillation process was proposed and studied to recover cobalt from NH₃–(NH₄)₂CO₃ system. First, the E–pH diagram of Co–NH₃–CO₃²––H₂O system was drawn, and the possibility of preparing cobalt products from the solution was discussed. Then, by comparing atmospheric and pressurized ammonia distillation processes, it was found that the microspherical Co₃O₄ product can be obtained directly through pressurized ammonia distillation. Furtherly, the effects of parameters on this process and the formation mechanism of Co₃O₄ were investigated systematically. Over 99% of cobalt could be recovered in one step under optimal conditions. Finally, CoCO₃ products with different morphologies were also obtained directly by adding the reducing agent during pressurized ammonia distillation, and the cobalt recovery rate was hardly affected. The evaporated ammonia and residual solution can be recycled. This work realizes the one-step preparation of cobalt products and provides a new perspective on cobalt recovery from ammoniacal solution.

    Abstract A retrospective study was performed to investigate the effects of incentive spirometry (IS)respiratory trainer device on lung recruitment in non-intubated moderate ARDS patients. Moderate ARDS patients who non-intubated from January 2019 to October 2022 were enrolled to the lung recruitment group and the control group. Compared the PaO₂/FiO₂ (P/F)ratio, lung ultrasound (LUS) score, APACHE-II score, Maximum inspiratory volume during three days (baseline, Day1, Day2, Day3) and the rate of intubation, mean hospital stay, the 28-day in-hospital mortality and the 90-days in-hospital mortality between the two groups. The lung recruitment group 118 patients (73 males, 47.6 ± 16.5y) and the control group 103 patients (62 males, 50.2 ± 14.8y) were included. The P/F ratios, APACHE-II scores, LUS scores, and the maximum inspiratory volume (ml) were significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.000, P = 0.014, P = 0.013 and P = 0.001, respectively).The P/F ratios were higher (252.6 ± 55.6 v.s, 166.96.9re, p = 0.035, day2), (269.8 ± 75.7 v.s 183.9 ± 68.6, p = 0.027, day3), the APACHE-II scores were lower (10.0 ± 2.4 v.s 15.3 1e l p = 0.025, day2), (8.0 ± 1.4 v.s 14.1 ± 2.7, p = 0.000, day3), the LUS scores were higher (16.2res wv.s 21.61.6w, p = 0.043, day2), (11.4 ± 5.9 v.s 20.3 ± 6.9, p = 0.004, day3), the maximum inspiratory volumes were higher (1722.3 ± 432.2 v.s 1310.70.732., p = 0.044, day2), (1913.5467.2 v.s 1299.79452.5, p = 0.018, day3) in Lung Recruitment group than that in Control group. These data at day1, day2, and day3 were significantly improvement than baseline in Lung Recruitment group. Only 36 patients (30.5%) in Lung Recruitment group needed to intubation, while 48 patients (46.6%) in Control group (p = 0.014). The mean hospital stay in lung recruitment group was lower (12.6 ± 4.6 v.s, 18.4 ± 5.3, P = 0.018). The 28-days and the 90-days in-hospital mortality were no statistical significance between the two groups (P = 0.414 and P = 0.418, respectively). Using IS to perform lung recruitment in moderate ARDS patients can improve maximum inspiratory volume, PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio, LUS scores, and APACHE-II score and reduce the rate of intubation and the mean hospital stay, but the 28 days and the 90-days in-hospital mortality were not improved.
