    Abstract The Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMIS) onboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F16, launched on 18 October 2003, was the first conical-scanning radiometer to combine the Special Sensor Microwave/Imagers (SSM/I), Special Sensor Microwave/Temperature Sounder (SSM/T), and the Special Sensor Microwave/Water Vapor Sounder (SSM/T2). Nearly 20 years of F16 SSMIS data are available to the general public, providing many opportunities to study the atmosphere at both the synoptic and decadal scales. However, data noise from complicated structures has occurred in the brightness temperature (TB) observations of lower atmospheric sounding (LAS) channels since 25 April 2013. We used a two-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform to analyze the characteristic features of data noise in cross-track and along-track directions. We found that the data noise is around 1–2 K and occurs at certain cross-track wavelengths (Δλ)noise. A latitudinal variation was found for (Δλ)noise. Due to noise interference, TB observations reflecting rain, clouds, tropical cyclone warm core, temperature, and water vapor distributions are not readily distinguishable, especially in channels above the middle troposphere (channels 4–7 and 24), whose dynamic TB range is smaller than low tropospheric channels 1–3. Examples are provided to show the impact of the proposed noise mitigation for conical-scanning TB observations to capture 3D structures of hurricanes directly. Once the noise in F16 SSMIS LAS channels from 25 April 2013to the present is eliminated, we may investigate the decadal change of many features of tropical cyclones derivable from these TB observations.

    Abstract The aquatic-aerial robot with the free interface crossing can enhance adaptability in complex aquatic environments. However, its design is extremely challenging for the striking discrepancies in propulsion principles. The flying fish in nature exhibits remarkable multi-modal cross-domain locomotion capability, such as high-maneuvers swimming, agile water-air crossing, and long-distance gliding, providing extensive inspiration. In this paper, we present a unique aquatic-aerial robotic flying fish with powerful propulsion and a pair of morphing wing-like pectoral fins to realize cross-domain motion. Furthermore, to explore the gliding mechanism of flying fish, a dynamic model with a morphing structure of pectoral fins is established, and a double deep Q-network-based control strategy is proposed to optimize the gliding distance. Finally, experiments were conducted to analyze the locomotion of the robotic flying fish. The results suggest that the robotic flying fish can successfully perform the 'fish leaping and wing spreading' cross-domain locomotion with an exiting speed of 1.55 m s

    Abstract A 49-year-old male patient who had been diagnosed with variable hairy cell leukemia (HCL-V) was treated with interferon for half a year but exert no obvious effect. After two courses of chemotherapy with cladribine, he achieved remission, and splenomegaly significantly improved (the length in craniocaudal dimension decreased from 15.8cm to 11.8cm). Four years later, the patient got disease relapse and was recommended for another cycle of cladribine (6mg for 7 days). On the last day of cladribine, the patient developed fever with needle-like red rashes on the face, limbs, and trunk. At the very beginning, the rash was lighter in color, sparsely distributed, and without obvious itching. Three days later, the rash gradually darkened, expanded and merged, with itching. With the application of high dose gamma globulin and corticosteroids (prednisolone combined with dexamethasone), the rash finally faded, and the patient was discharged. Rash caused by cladribine is not uncommon, such serious and widespread drug-induced rash is rare, and there are few reports. This article reviewed relevant studies and treatments.

    Abstract Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegia is a rare familial hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by multiple autosomal dominant mutations. More than 50 mutant genes have been reported to be associated with this disease.
    Methods: In this study, we have reported a rare insertion mutation site in PRRT2 that caused a familial disorder of hereditary spastic paraplegia accompanied by polyneuropathy.
    Results: We used second-generation sequencing of samples of the proband's familial genome and found an insertion mutation of C/CC in NM_001256443:c.641dupC that was localized to the second exon of PRRT2. This functional mutation can cause an amino acid sequence change (arginine >proline) and dysfunctional neuronal transmembrane proteins, which might have been related to the onset of hereditary spastic paraplegia accompanied by polyneuropathy in the family reported in this study.
    Conclusion: The discovery of this mutation site provides an important theoretical basis for specific gene-based diagnosis and treatment of hereditary spastic paraplegia.

    Abstract The bicarbonate-activated hydrogen peroxide (BAP) with heterogeneous catalysts has been demonstrated to have a good future for organic pollutants removal in wastewater treatment. Herein, a novel catalyst, cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (Co@NC) was prepared by pyrolysis of Co salt and melamine, followed by acid treatment to remove excess metallic cobalt. Combining the hollow carbon nanotube structure and Co nanoparticles, the Co@NC offers excellent catalytic performance for acid orange 7 degradation in the BAP system. High stability against cobalt ions leaching from the Co@NC was observed, which is superior to the previously reported heterogeneous catalysts·H₂O₂ activation mechanism by Co@NC catalyst was also proposed, in which superoxide ion and single oxygen are the dominant reactive species from H₂O₂ decomposition by the synergistic effect of Co(0) and N species.

    Abstract In this paper, a novel compliant joint with two identical torsion springs is proposed for a biomimetic multi-joint robotic fish, which enables imitatation of the swimming behavior of live fish. More importantly, a dynamic model based on the Lagrangian dynamic method is developed to explore the compliant passive mechanism. In the dynamic modeling, a simplified Morrison equation is utilized to analyze the hydrodynamic forces. Further, the parameter identification technique is employed to estimate numerous hydrodynamic parameters. The extensive experimental data with different situations match well with the simulation results, which verifies the effectiveness of the obtained dynamic model. Finally, motivated by the requirement for performance optimization, we firstly take advantage of a dynamic model to investigate the effect of joint stiffness and control parameters on the swimming speed and energy efficiency of a biomimetic multi-joint robotic fish. The results reveal that phase difference plays a primary role in improving efficiency and the compliant joint presents a more significant role in performance improvement when a smaller phase difference is given. Namely, at the largest actuation frequency, the maximum improvement of energy efficiency is obtained and surprisingly approximates 89%. Additionally, the maximum improvement in maximum swimming speed is about 0.19 body lengths per second. These findings demonstrate the potential of compliance in optimizing joint design and locomotion control for better performance.

    Abstract Objective: Distant ischemic postconditioning (DIPC) has been confirmed to have a neuroprotective effect in animal models of ischemia. However, there are only a few studies on its efficacy and safety in clinical applications.
    Method: We divided 86 patients with acute non-cardiogenic mild to moderate cerebral infarction into DIPC and control groups.
    Result: After 7 days of using different pressure DIPC therapies, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores on the eighth day significantly decreased, and modified Rankin scale significantly increased in the DIPC group, compared to that before treatment. On the eight day of admission, the decrease in the NIHSS scores significantly differed between the two groups. However, there was no change in the early neurological deterioration and platelet aggregation rates between the two groups on the eighth day.
    Conclusion: These results demonstrate that DIPC can safely and effectively improve neurological deficits in acute stages of mild to moderate cerebral infarction without affecting the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs.

    Abstract Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) often causes small blood vessel lesions in multiple organs, with less impact on large vessels. We report a case involving not only large blood vessels, but also angina. The computed tomographic angiography of large vessels and vascular ultrasonography of the extremity also suggested great arteries of the body were involved. Further cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody tests, pathological examination and dynamic chest computed tomography scan confirmed the diagnosis of GPA. Anti-inflammatory therapy and coronary secondary prevention were given after diagnosis by pathological examination and laboratory evaluation. The symptoms of angina pectoris were relieved. This rare case report reminds us that among the well-known risk factors of atherosclerotic diseases, GPA is also an important risk factor for acute coronary syndrome. Early foresight for this rare risk factor can improve the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease, which will improve the prognosis of the patients.

    Abstract Sea ice in polar areas is an important part of the global climate system. In order to obtain variations in sea ice extent for the Antarctic and Arctic, this paper analyzed the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) sea ice data product dating from March 1, 1997 to December 31, 2006. During this period, the sea ice extent increased in the Antarctic with the trend of (0.5467±0.4933)×10⁴ km²·yr⁻¹, and decreased in the Arctic with the trend of (−7.6125±0.3503)×10⁴ km²·yr⁻¹. In different sectors of the Antarctic, variations of the sea ice extent are different. The sea ice extent increased in the Weddell Sea and Indian Ocean, but decreased in the Ross Sea, Western Pacific Ocean, and Bellingshausen/Amundsen Seas.
