    Abstract Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease characterized by rapid onset and high mortality. Emergency surgery is the preferred and reliable treatment option. However, postoperative complications significantly impact patient prognosis. Hypoxemia, a common complication, poses challenges in clinical treatment, negatively affecting patient outcomes and increasing the risk of mortality. Therefore, it is crucial to study and comprehend the risk factors and treatment strategies for hypoxemia following acute type A aortic dissection to facilitate early intervention.

    Abstract A two-dimensional hydrodynamic mathematical model of the sea area near the Qitou sea area was established by using MIKE21 hydrodynamic module, and the tidal level, flow velocity and direction simulated by the hydrodynamic model were verified according to the measured data. Based on MIKE21 hydrodynamic model and particle tracking module, a mathematical model of oil spill diffusion centered on the sea area of Qitou was established, and the influence range of oil spill under six different working conditions and the time of oil spill reaching the main sensitive area near The sea area of Qitou were simulated. The analysis shows that tidal current and wind are the main factors affecting the diffusion process of oil spill in The Qitou sea. The calculation results show the influence area of oil spill 24 hours after the occurrence of the accident and the time when the oil spill reaches the main sensitive area in The sea area of Qitou, which has a certain guiding role in dealing with the offshore oil spill pollution and formulating the emergency treatment plan of oil spill accident in the sea area of Qitou.

    Abstract Acute type A aortic dissection is a severe cardiovascular disease characterized by rapid onset and high mortality. Traditionally, urgent open aortic repair is performed after admission to prevent aortic rupture and death. However, when combined with malperfusion syndrome, the low perfusion of the superior mesenteric artery can further lead to intestinal necrosis, significantly impacting the surgery's prognosis and potentially resulting in adverse consequences, bringing. This presents great significant challenges in treatment. Based on recent domestic and international research literature, this paper reviews the mechanism, current treatment approaches, and selection of surgical methods for poor organ perfusion caused by acute type A aortic dissection. The literature review findings suggest that central aortic repair can be employed for the treatment of acute type A aortic dissection with inadequate perfusion of the superior mesenteric artery. The superior mesenteric artery can be windowed and (/or) stented, followed by delayed aortic repair. Priority should be given to revascularization of the superior mesenteric artery, followed by central aortic repair. During central aortic repair, direct blood perfusion should be performed on the distal true lumen of the superior mesenteric artery, leading to resulting in favorable therapeutic outcomes. The research results indicate that even after surgical aortic repair, intestinal ischemic necrosis may still occur. In such cases, prompt laparotomy and necessary necrotic bowel resection are crucial for saving the patient's life.

    Abstract Recent large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have demonstrated remarkable prediction performance for a growing array of tasks. However, their proliferation into high-stakes domains and compute-limited settings has created a burgeoning need for interpretability and efficiency. We address this need by proposing Aug-imodels, a framework for leveraging the knowledge learned by LLMs to build extremely efficient and interpretable prediction models. Aug-imodels use LLMs during fitting but not during inference, allowing complete transparency and often a speed/memory improvement of greater than 1000x for inference compared to LLMs. We explore two instantiations of Aug-imodels in natural-language processing: Aug-Linear, which augments a linear model with decoupled embeddings from an LLM and Aug-Tree, which augments a decision tree with LLM feature expansions. Across a variety of text-classification datasets, both outperform their non-augmented, interpretable counterparts. Aug-Linear can even outperform much larger models, e.g. a 6-billion parameter GPT-J model, despite having 10,000x fewer parameters and being fully transparent. We further explore Aug-imodels in a natural-language fMRI study, where they generate interesting interpretations from scientific data.

    Abstract The rapid and effective fabrication of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels with good mechanical properties is of great significance yet remains a huge challenge. The preparation of PVA hydrogels via the conventional cyclic freeze-thaw method is intricate and time-intensive. In this study, a pioneering approach involving the utilization of low-temperature continuous freezing is introduced to produce a novel PVA-ethylene glycol (EG) gel. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirm that with the assistance of EG, PVA molecular chains can self-assemble to generate an abundance of microcrystalline domains at low temperatures, thus improving the mechanical properties of PVA-EG gel. Remarkably, when the mass ratio of H

    Abstract A meta-analysis investigation was executed to measurethe wound complications (WCs) frequency in heart transplant (HT) recipients on mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors (MTRIs). A comprehensive literature investigation till February 2023 was applied and 978 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 10 chosen investigations enclosed 2173 individuals with HT were in the chosen investigations' starting point, 1164 of them were utilising MTRIs, and 1009 were utilising control. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilised to compute the value of the WCs frequency in HT recipients on MTRIs by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model. MTRIs had significantly higher WCs (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.19-1.98, P = .001) compared with those with control in individuals with HT. MTRIs had significantly higher WCs compared with those with control in individuals with HT. However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values because of the low number of the nominated investigations and the low sample size of some of the nominated investigations for the meta-analysis.

    Abstract A meta-analysis research was executed to appraise the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on sternal wound healing (SWH). Inclusive literature research till April 2023 was done and 1098 interconnected researches were revised. The 11 picked researches, enclosed 8961 cardiac surgery (CS) persons were in the utilised researchers' starting point, 3663 of them were utilising PRP, and 5298 were control. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were utilised to appraise the effect of PRP on the SWH by the dichotomous approach and a fixed or random model. PRP had significantly lower sternal wound infection (SWI) (OR, 0.11; 95% CI, 0.03-0.34, p < 0.001), deep SWI (OR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.16-0.51, p < 0.001), and superficial SWI (OR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.13-0.33, p < 0.001), compared to control in CS persons. PRP had significantly lower SWI, deep SWI, and superficial SWI, compared to control in CS persons. However, caution must be taken when interacting with its values since there was a low sample size of some of the nominated research found for the comparisons in the meta-analysis.

    Abstract Local landscape patterns in cities can substantially alter surrounding land surface temperature (LST) and affect the surface urban heat island effect. Previous studies have confirmed that some urban functional areas produce pronounced local heat/cold island effects in cities; however, the mitigating of this effect from the perspective of surrounding landscapes has not been investigated in depth. Additionally, different types of industrial plants have not been individually studied across multiple cities as major contributors to the local heat island effect. Therefore, based on 17 mega plants in various cities in the Northern Hemisphere, this study explores the impact of surrounding landscapes on the surface industrial heat island (SIHI) effect, proposes cooling metrics from a new landscape patch perspective, and quantifies the impact of different patch configurations on the SIHI using Extreme Gradient Boosting regression models and Shapley Additive exPlanations. The primary results are as follows: 1) Regarding to the footprint of the SIHI effect, the coverage of impervious surfaces dominates the ambient LST pattern. Industrial plant types and latitudes are moderately influencing factors. 2) In terms of the cooling effect, landscape patch size and width relative to industrial plant size has a pronounced impact on the LST cooling speed. Besides, various land cover types have distinct relative cooling thresholds for patch area and distance from the plants. The influence of patch attributes on LST cooling speed is determined by the distinct land cover type. 3) What is prominent is that the patches of water bodies with larger relative footprints often exhibit higher cooling speeds. This study aims to provide guidelines for urban planners in assessing the local thermal environment and mitigating further urban warming.
