    Abstract Chirality is a concept that one object is not superimposable on its mirror image by translation and rotation. In particular, chiral plasmonics have been widely investigated due to their excellent optical chiral properties, and have led to numerous applications such as optical polarizing element etc. In this study, we develop a model based on the concept of the interaction between harmonic oscillators to investigate and explain the optical chiral mechanisms of strongly coupled metal nanoparticles (MNPs). The chirality of the scattering, absorption, and photoluminescence spectra are carefully discussed in detail. The results show that the chirality of the system originates not only from the orientations of the MNPs, but also from the different eigen parameters between them. Specifically, the derived three factors contribute to the chirality: the symmetry, the coupling strength, and the coherent superposition of the emitted electric field. This work provides a deeper understanding on the chiral plasmonics and may guide relevant applications in theory.

    Abstract ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by hydrothermal method. The modified Hummer process was then used to prepare go. The ZnO-GO com posites were then mixed to produce different ratios of ZnO-GO, characteris ed and their photocatalytic properties were investigated using rhodamine B as the target degradation species. The results showed that the degradation r ates of rhodamine B were 41.96% and 84.42% for the nano-ZnO and ZnO-GO 7% composites, respectively, when illuminated with xenon light for 36 0 min. The improved photocatalytic activity of composite materials is prim arily due to the introduction of appropriate amount of GO, which could ra pidly capture and transfer to the photogenerated electrons, and could load more ZnO and prevent the agglomeration of ZnO particles, increasing the s pecific surface area of ZnO and its activation point, as well as increasing th e adsorption of pollutants on the ZnO surface and improving the photocatal ytic efficiency.

    Abstract Background: Early adenocarcinoma mixed with a neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) component arising in the gastroesophageal junctional (GEJ) region is rare and even rarer in young patients. Here, we report such a case in a 29-year-old Chinese man.
    Case summary: This patient presented to our hospital with a 3-mo history of dysphagia and regurgitation. Upper endoscopy revealed an elevated nodule in the distal esophagus 1.6 cm above the GEJ line, without Barrett's esophagus or involvement of the gastric cardia. The nodule was completely resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Pathological examination confirmed diagnosis of intramucosal adenocarcinoma mixed with an NEC component, measuring 1.5 cm. Immunohistochemically, both adenocarcinoma and NEC components were positive for P53 with a Ki67 index of 90%; NEC was positive for synaptophysin and chromogranin. Next-generation sequencing of 196 genes demonstrated a novel germline mutation of the
    Conclusion: Early adenocarcinoma with an NEC component arising in the distal esophageal side of the GEJ region showed evidence of gastric origin.

    Abstract Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used as a standard treatment regimen for early gastric cancers (EGCs). However, such an approach is time-consuming and has a high risk of perforation and bleeding in some corner-site lesions because of the obscured view and difficulty in submucosal lifting. The newly developed pocket-creation method (PCM) provides a clearer view and better traction of the submucosal layer than conventional ESD (c-ESD). Nevertheless, no prospective randomized study has evaluated the efficacy of the PCM in EGCs and precancerous lesions.
    Methods: This was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients with superficial gastric neoplastic lesions≥20mm were randomly assigned to the PCM-ESD group or c-ESD group. The primary outcome was dissection speed.
    Results: There were 28 patients in the PCM-ESD group and 27 in the c-ESD group. The median dissection speed was significantly higher in the PCM-ESD group than in the c-ESD group (21.5 mm
    Conclusions: PCM-ESD was an effective and safe treatment for EGCs and precancerous lesions.

    Abstract For maneuvering target tracking, a novel adaptive variable structure interactive multiple model filtering and smoothing (AVSIMMFS) algorithm is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an accurate model of the variable structure interactive multiple model algorithm is established. Secondly, by constructing a new model subset based on the original model subsets, the matching accuracy between the model subset and the actual maneuvering mode of the target is improved. Then, the AVSIMMFS algorithm is obtained by smoothing the filtered data of the new model subset. Because of the combination of forward filtering and backward smoothing, the target tracking accuracy is further improved. Finally, in order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, the simulation is carried out on two cases. The simulation results show that the tracking performance of AVSIMMFS algorithm is better than other methods and has lower calculation cost.

    Abstract Background: With the development of urbanization in China, the scale of internal migration and the number of immigrants among older adults are increasing. This requires paying attention to the living conditions and environment of immigrants. Many studies note a gap in the prevalence of depressive symptoms among older adults living in different main residential locations. However, few studies have examined the extent to which main residential locations influence depressive symptoms among older adults. This study aims to quantify the effect of main residential locations on depressive symptoms.
    Methods: For this study, we used data from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey and randomly selected 8,210 individuals aged 65 years and older were from the community to determine the effect of main residential locations on depressive symptoms among older adults. We further used the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition method to quantify the explanatory factors of depressive symptom gaps among older adults and to estimate the relative effect of individual characteristics on depressive symptoms.
    Results: In this study, we noted significant differences in depressive symptoms among older adults in different main residential locations. Rural-urban migrants had higher depressive symptom scores (7.164). According to the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis, the high proportion of the depressive symptom gap can be explained by years of education, income, and exercise among different main residential locations groups. In addition, in the main parts of the explained differences, the proportions of the limitation of activities of daily living (2.28, 0.46, and -52.11%) showed opposite effects, while their share in different main residential locations groups varied widely.
    Conclusion: Urbanization has resulted in more rural people moving to urban areas in China; Rural-urban migrants have the highest prevalence of depressive symptoms, which needs attention. Thus, there is an urgent need to integrate the health insurance and pension policy for urban and rural residents. This study provides a basis for formulating health policies and promoting the mental health of older adults in China as well as in low- and middle-income countries.

    Abstract Exposure to indoor air pollution from cooking with solid fuel has been linked with the health of elderly people, although the pathway to their association is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects between solid fuel use and self-rated health by using structural equation modeling (SEM) with the baseline data from Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 7831 elderly people aged >65 years from the CLHLS. SEM was used to analyze the pathways underlying solid fuel use and self-rated health. We estimated indirect effects of sleep quality (β = −0.027, SE = 0.006), cognitive abilities (β = −0.006, SE = 0.002), depressive symptoms (β = −0.066, SE = 0.007), systolic blood pressure (β = 0.000, SE = 0.000), and BMI (β = −0.000, SE = 0.000) on the association between solid fuel and the self-rated health using path analysis. Depressive symptoms emerged as the strongest mediator in the relationship between solid fuel use and self-rated health in the elderly. Interventions targeting sleep quality, cognitive abilities, depressive symptoms, systolic blood pressure, and BMI could greatly reduce the negative effects of solid fuel use on the health of the elderly population.

    Abstract An organic solar cell is regarded as one of the emerging and potential alternatives for solar cells, due to its low cost and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Here, using the plasmon-enhanced method, the electric field of the polythiophene/indene-C₆₀ bisadduct (PT:IC₆₀BA) donor–acceptor system as the photoactive molecular layer is significantly enhanced up to the order of 10⁴ at around 475 nm. Besides, the surface plasmon thermal effect is calculated based on the coupling model of a nanoparticle dimer with a Ag film, where the molecular layer is in the nanocavity between the dimer and the film. The band gap and open-circuit voltage decrease with the increase of temperature. The electron–hole generation rate is enhanced up to 1.4 × 10³, and photocurrent can be enhanced around 230 times by surface plasmon resonance. Our results provide theoretical support for plasmon-enhanced organic solar cells.
