    Abstract Today, users of smart devices are from increasingly younger generations, and their use is very common among preschoolers. The problem of smart device addiction in preschool children has attracted widespread attention, due to which this study explores the influencing factors in children aged 2-5 years. Based on the protection-risk model, 236 Chinese parents were surveyed, and the data was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings show that parental emotion regulation significantly and negatively influences children's depression and social withdrawal symptoms, whereas it has a significant and positive influence on parental self-control as well as outdoor intention. Also, children's depression and social withdrawal symptoms have a significant and positive influence on their smart device addiction, whereas parental self-control and outdoor intentions have no significant influence on it. Moreover, children's social withdrawal and depression have a mediating effect between parental emotion regulation and children's smart device addiction, but parental self-control and outdoor intention have no mediating effect between the two. This study identifies the factors influencing children's smart device addiction from a new perspective, providing theoretical support to address this problem of addiction.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to expound on the correlation between facial skin microbiome and sensitive skin (SS) using a novel sequencing technique.
    Methods: We applied the 2bRAD sequencing for the microbiome, which enables accurate characterization of the low-biomass microbiome at species resolution to profile facial skin microbes in SS and non-SS groups. Further, the bacterial colonies were isolated and cultured from skin surfaces to study the pro-inflammatory effect on human keratinocytes by ELISA.
    Results: We accordingly identified 1142 genera and 4436 strains. In the SS group, the proportions of Actinomyces and Microbotryomycetes were significantly increased, whereas that of Acidimicrobiia was decreased. Kruskal-Wallis analysis revealed significant differences in 11 genera and 35 species, among which the proportions of Dermabacter, Chryseobacterium, Rhodotorula and Peptoniphilus A were increased in the SS group. Analysis of the top 10 genera revealed increased proportions of Cutibacterium, Corynebacterium and Staphylococcus. Moreover, the proportion of Dermabacter hominis was significantly increased by 18.9-fold in the SS group, whereas those of many Streptococcus strains were significantly decreased. Focus on the isolated bacterial colonies from skin surfaces, more yellow colonies were found in SS group when cultured in Tryptic Soy Broth medium for 48 h, and more interleukin-8 was detected on keratinocytes after yellow colonies stimulation, such as S.capitis, M.luteus.
    Conclusions: This study suggests that more SS-associated microorganisms can be identified using the 2bRAD technique even with a small sample size. Dermabacter hominis and Chryseobacterium was firstly reported with a significantly increase in SS, and the S.capitis, as well as M.luteus, but not S.aureus, may be associated with skin inflammation.

    Abstract Millions of people suffer from tracheal defect worldwide each year, while autograft and allograft cannot meet existing treatment needs. Tissue-engineered trachea substitutes represent a promising treatment for tracheal defect, while lack of precisely personalized treatment abilities. Therefore, development of an artificial trachea that can be used for personalized transplantation is highly desired. In this study, we report the design and fabrication of an artificial trachea based on sericin microsphere (SM) by microtissue engineering technology and three-dimensional (3D) printing for personalized repair of tracheal defect. The SM possessed natural cell adhesion and promoting cell proliferation ability. Then, the microtissue was fabricated by coincubation of SM with chondrocytes and tracheal epithelial cells. This microtissue displayed good cytocompatibility and could support seed cell adhesion and proliferation. After that, this microtissue was individually assembled to form an artificial trachea by 3D printing. Notably, artificial trachea had an encouraging complete cartilaginous and epithelial structure after transplantation. Furthermore, the artificial trachea molecularly resembled native trachea as evidenced by similar expression of trachea-critical genes. Altogether, the work demonstrates the effectiveness of microtissue engineering and 3D printing for individual construction of artificial trachea, providing a promising approach for personalized treatment of tracheal defect.

    Abstract Background and objective: Training a robust cancer diagnostic or prognostic artificial intelligent model using histology images requires a large number of representative cases with labels or annotations, which are difficult to obtain. The histology snapshots available in published papers or case reports can be used to enrich the training dataset. However, the magnifications of these invaluable snapshots are generally unknown, which limits their usage. Therefore, a robust magnification predictor is required for utilizing those diverse snapshot repositories consisting of different diseases. This paper presents a magnification prediction model named Hagnifinder for H&E-stained histological images. Methods: Hagnifinder is a regression model based on a modified convolutional neural network (CNN) that contains 3 modules: Feature Extraction Module, Regression Module, and Adaptive Scaling Module (ASM). In the training phase, the Feature Extraction Module first extracts the image features. Secondly, the ASM is proposed to address the learned feature values uneven distribution problem. Finally, the Regression Module estimates the mapping between the regularized extracted features and the magnifications. We construct a new dataset for training a robust model, named Hagni40, consisting of 94 643 H&E-stained histology image patches at 40 different magnifications of 13 types of cancer based on The Cancer Genome Atlas. To verify the performance of the Hagnifinder, we measure the accuracy of the predictions by setting the maximum allowable difference values (0.5, 1, and 5) between the predicted magnification and the actual magnification. We compare Hagnifinder with state-of-the-art methods on a public dataset BreakHis and the Hagni40. Results: The Hagnifinder provides consistent prediction accuracy, with a mean accuracy of 98.9%, across 40 different magnifications and 13 different cancer types when Resnet50 is used as the feature extractor. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods focusing on 4–5 levels of ...

    Abstract Urban renewal is a planning and renovation activity for cities, and pursuing cultural sustainability as a goal of urban renewal can expedite the achievement of high-quality and sustainable urban development. This paper uses the seven elements of cultural sustainability—Cultural Heritage (B1), Cultural Vitality (B2), Economic Vitality (B3), Cultural Diversity (B4), Place (B5), Eco-Cultural Resilience (B6), and Eco-Cultural Civilization (B7)—as the core indexes to develop a three-level indicator system applicable to cities with Chinese characteristics. The subjective–objective combination weighting method is then employed to assign weights to the indicators. Among them, Economic Vitality (B3) has the most significant weight, indicating that economic vitality significantly impacts the cultural sustainability of Chinese cities. In addition, the TOPSIS method was employed to assess typical Chinese cities. The assessment demonstrates that our cities can preserve cultural heritage, foster cultural vitality, attract a diverse population, and promote ecological civilization construction. The index system is exhaustive, the selection of indicators is appropriate, and the results of the practical application of the assessment are accurate and effective, allowing it to provide scientific planning guidance for urban renewal.

    Abstract Background/purpose: Nowadays, zirconia-based framework has been used for longspan or full-arch fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of pontic distribution on marginal and internal gaps of five-unit anterior zirconiabased DPs.
    Materials and methods: Right maxillary central incisor and second premolar were selected as terminal abutments and three different edentulous conditions with one nonterminal abutment were simulated. Marginal and internal gaps in each zirconia-based samples(n = 10) were examined by computer-aided replica technique. Five regions, including marginal gaps at mesial or distal finishing line, internal gaps at the mesial or distal axial wall, and occlusal surface, were statistically analyzed (α = .05).
    Results: Most of marginal gaps and internal gaps at axial wall were clinically acceptable, but larger at occlusal surface. For the three experimental groups, clinically accepted percentage with qualified gaps were less than 30%.There were statistical differences at axial wall over pontic side and marginal gaps over non-pontic side between groups (
    Conclusion: Except for occlusal surface, the overall marginal gaps and internal gaps at axial wall of five-unit anterior zirconia-based FDPs with different pontic distribution were clinically acceptable. However, the percentage with qualified gaps were low (<30%). Greater gaps were noted when adjacent pontic existed. Different pontic size and distribution with curvature had an influence on the gaps.
