    Abstract Introduction and importance: Exceptionally, aneurysms from the posterior genu of the cavernous internal carotid artery (ICA) can rupture, resulting in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We reported such a case and provided another case with an unruptured aneurysm as a control to confirm the rarity of the ruptured aneurysm from the posterior genu of the cavernous ICA.
    Case presentation: Case 1: This was a 46-year-old female with SAH. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) confirmed that an aneurysm from the posterior genu of the right cavernous ICA had expanded into the intradural space and ruptured; the aneurysm was coiled completely. Postoperatively, she died from cerebral ischemia due to vasospasm. Case 2: This was a 59-year-old female with SAH. CTA and DSA revealed six aneurysms, including two mirror-like aneurysms from the bilateral anterior communicating artery (AcomA), two tandem aneurysms from the posterior genu of the left cavernous ICA, and two aneurysms from the bilateral anterior cavernous ICAs. After coiling the two tandem aneurysms from the posterior genu of the left cavernous ICA, the bilateral AcomA aneurysms were clipped, and rupture of the right AcomA aneurysm was confirmed. Follow-up CTA showed complete clipping of the bilateral AcomA aneurysms. Her Glasgow Outcome Scale score was 5. Endovascular treatment for residual aneurysms is planned for the future.
    Clinical discussion: As shown in these two cases, the aneurysm from the posterior genu of the cavernous ICA can rupture, resulting in SAH; however, the rupture of other aneurysms must be excluded.
    Conclusion: Once a ruptured aneurysm from the posterior genu of the cavernous ICA was confirmed, EVT was considered an alternative treatment.

    Abstract Urbanization and civil aviation industry have deep impacts on human society, including China where economic growth has been fast. A joint product of urbanization and civil aviation industry is Airport Surrounding Area Development (ASAD). There has been plenty of research on western ASAD and of Chinese ASAD by scholars from each respective side, but communication between the West and China on this topic is sparse. Growth coalition and urban regime are two rival theories abstracted from US reality of urban economic growth and relationship among various players during this process, but their applicability outside USA needs to be tested. China’s ASAD is a good opportunity for this type of test. The uniqueness of China is discussed in four aspects: government structure, land finance of local government, economy’s dependency on fixed-asset investment, and research data availability. Additionally, official plans of ASAD in six Chinese cities are presented to give potential investors a panorama of the situation through the scope of local government. Since there is always a gap between plan and reality, the author used two innovative methods to evaluate the ASAD situation: remote sensing analysis and computational text analysis. The author chose Xi’an ASAD as a case study. Tax data of Xi’an Airport New City revealed differentiated level of success for various industries around Xi’an airport. Fieldwork on industrial and residential landscape provided first-hand material. The author discussed four special topics in depth: urbanization of existing rural communities near airports with focus on land-lost peasants; environmental issues; interactive behaviors of government and enterprises; and COVID-19. Perspective business opportunities in ASAD in primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors, as well as precautions, are suggested to investors. This study fills the gap of Chinese ASAD research outside China. It confirms that in the Chinese context, the rationale of growth coalition theory and urban regime theory remains valid, but the specific roles and behaviors of players differ from their counterparts in the West. The two originally rival theories each explain part of the reality. The government and public sector economy are dominant in China, yet other civil players like private and foreign capital and land-lost peasants cannot be neglected. All players have common interests on airport surrounding area economic development; therefore, they often compromise with each other and cooperate. This study provides international investors with rich and up-to-date information about this huge market. Moreover, China’s experience of ASAD exhibits an alternative development approach from the West for other developing countries.

    Abstract This is a rejoinder of Dr. Ian Mitroff's perspective titled "Corona Virus: A Prime Example of A Wicked Mess". While I agree with Dr. Mitroff on the complexity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the urgency to address it, I disagree with him on points related to the role of wet market in this specific outbreak and whether China had acknowledged the existence of the outbreak. I also consider key highlights of the outbreak are the importance of collaboration across national and state borders and a balance between privacy and public health under such situations.

    Abstract Crosslinking mass spectrometry captures protein structures in solution. The crosslinks reveal spatial proximities as distance restraints, but do not easily reveal which of these restraints derive from the same protein conformation. This superposition can be reduced by photo-crosslinking, and adding information from protein structure models, or quantitative crosslinking reveals conformation-specific crosslinks. As a consequence, crosslinking MS has proven useful already in the context of multiple dynamic protein systems. We foresee a breakthrough in the resolution and scale of studying protein dynamics when crosslinks are used to guide deep-learning-based protein modelling. Advances in crosslinking MS, such as photoactivatable crosslinking and in-situ crosslinking, will then reveal protein conformation dynamics in the cellular context, at a pseudo-atomic resolution, and plausibly in a time-resolved manner.

    Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of a modified passive deflation needle to reduce the apical voids during the intra-canal iRoot SP sealer injection. A modified passive deflation injection needle was designed. Forty 20°-curved and twenty S-shaped single-canal resin block models were allocated into six groups. Each group was mechanically prepared to #25/04 or #25/06 file; then the root canals were injected with iRoot SP sealer using a modified needle or a normal plastic needle. Radiographs were taken to measure the length of apical void in each specimen. Similarly, twenty single-canal extracted premolars were collected and randomly divided into four groups. Each group was prepared to #25/04 or #25/06 file; then the root canals were injected with iRoot SP sealer using a modified needle or a normal plastic needle. Roots were then scanned using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and the volume of voids in root canals was analyzed and compared among groups. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the length and the volumetric percentage of voids were much lower in the modified needle group in both resin block root canal models and extract teeth than the normal plastic needle group (P < 0.05). The modified passive deflation needle can efficiently reduce apical voids during the intra-canal iRoot SP sealer injection.

    Abstract This study delves into the use of compact near-infrared spectroscopy instruments for distinguishing between different varieties of barley, chickpeas, and sorghum, addressing a vital need in agriculture for precise crop variety identification. This identification is crucial for optimizing crop performance in diverse environmental conditions and enhancing food security and agricultural productivity. We also explore the potential application of transformer models in near-infrared spectroscopy and conduct an in-depth evaluation of the impact of data preprocessing and machine learning algorithms on variety classification. In our proposed spectraformer multi-classification model, we successfully differentiated 24 barley varieties, 19 chickpea varieties, and ten sorghum varieties, with the highest accuracy rates reaching 85%, 95%, and 86%, respectively. These results demonstrate that small near-infrared spectroscopy instruments are cost-effective and efficient tools with the potential to advance research in various identification methods, but also underscore the value of transformer models in near-infrared spectroscopy classification. Furthermore, we delve into the discussion of the influence of data preprocessing on the performance of deep learning models compared to traditional machine learning models, providing valuable insights for future research in this field.

    Abstract Rice consumption is a key Cd exposure pathway, which poses a health risk to humans. Reducing cadmium (Cd) concentrations in rice remains challenging. In this study, a pot experiment was conducted to examine the effects of foliar spray of Zn combined with organic matters (including Zn-lysine (Zn-Lys), Zn-fulvic acid (Zn-FA), Zn-amino acid (Zn-AA), and Zn combined with glutathione (Zn + GSH)) on Cd accumulation in rice grains. Compared with the control group, all treatment groups exhibited reduced Cd concentration in rice grains, while improving plant growth, and reducing Cd transport from other tissues to the grains. Zn-FA was found to be the most effective fertilizer, which considerably reduced Cd concentrations in grains from 0.77 ± 0.068 to 0.14 ± 0.021 mg/kg and yielded reductions of up to 81%, which is within the Chinese food maximum tolerable limit of 0.2 mg/kg. Furthermore, the analysis of the chemical forms of Cd of rice tissues indicated that the treatment groups had increased proportions of integrated with pectates and protein in the stems. Except for the group treated with Zn-Lys spray, the percentages of undissolved Cd phosphate in the leaves were increased in all treatment groups, which reduced Cd toxicity to rice plants. The foliar application of Zn combined with organic matters may be a promising strategy to decrease Cd concentration in rice grains cultivated in severely Cd-contaminated agricultural soil, particularly in the karst area in southwest China with limited available cultivable agricultural land.
