    Abstract Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanoscale lipid bilayer structures released by gram-negative bacteria. They share membrane composition and properties with their originating cells, making them adept at traversing cellular barriers. These OMVs have demonstrated exceptional membrane stability, immunogenicity, safety, penetration, and tumor-targeting properties, which have been leveraged in developing vaccines and drug delivery systems. Recent research efforts have focused on engineering OMVs to increase production yield, reduce cytotoxicity, and improve the safety and efficacy of treatment. Notably, gastrointestinal (GI) tumors have proven resistant to several traditional oncological treatment strategies, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in some patients, their usage as monotherapy remains limited by tumor heterogeneity and individual variability. The immunogenic and modifiable nature of OMVs makes them an ideal design platform for the individualized treatment of GI tumors. OMV-based therapy enables combination therapy and optimization of anti-tumor effects. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in OMV engineering for GI tumor therapy and discusses the challenges in the clinical translation of emerging OMV-based anti-tumor therapies.

    Abstract The electricity market will tend to be diverse and competitive to realize Carbon Neutrality goals under Energy Internet. Moreover, bidding strategies and methods are essential for the stable and benign operation of the electricity market. With the development of artificial intelligence and computer simulation technology, multi-agent simulation has gradually become a significant method for electricity market bidding. Among them, Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) can help agents adapt to changing environments. In contrast, Multi-Agent Transfer Learning (MATL) can help agents learn from not only the target task but also other similar tasks. This paper proposes an intelligent strategic bidding theoretical framework in a competitive electricity market using MATL based on MARL and studies four MATL algorithms, including RNN, LSTM, GRU and BGRU. An intelligent bidding simulation model based on the four MATL algorithms is established, and the performance of the intelligent bidding simulation model in the electricity market using the four MATL algorithms based on the MARL Q-learning algorithm is compared and analyzed from the perspective of accuracy and convergence speed. And based on the multi-agent simulation model, examples of bidding strategies are carried out to verify the rationality and effectiveness of the intelligent bidding method using MATL based on MARL.

    Abstract The lack of universal indicators for predicting microbial biodegradation potential and assessing remediation effects limits the generalization of bioremediation. The community-level ribosomal RNA gene operon (rrn) copy number, an important functional trait, has the potential to serve as a key indicator of the bioremediation of organic pollutants. A meta-analysis based on 1275 samples from 26 hydrocarbon-related studies revealed a positive relationship between the microbial hydrocarbon biodegradation level and the community-level rrn copy number in soil, seawater and culture. Subsequently, a microcosm experiment was performed to decipher the community-level rrn copy number response mechanism during total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) biodegradation. The treatment combining straw with resuscitation-promoting factor (Rpf) exhibited the highest community-level rrn copy number and the most effective biodegradation compared with other treatments, and the initial TPH content (20,000 mg kg

    Abstract There is a consensus regarding the need to realize the transformation of renewable energy by enhancing demand-side regulating ability. This paper proposes a peak shaving potential assessment model based on the price elasticity mechanism and consumer psychology, focusing on the adjustable user load in virtual power plants. The values of deterministic parameters and the distribution of the uncertain parameter of the model are obtained through the long short-term memory network (LSTM) and mixture density network (MDN). Then, the refined distribution of peak shaving potential considering external conditions, incentive inputs, and spatial and temporal scales is obtained. Based on the evaluation results, a peak shaving decision-making model for virtual power plants is constructed using a scenario scheme. Differentiated schemes for traditional, risk-averse, and risk-seeking virtual power plant decision-makers are considered. Case studies using the data of a virtual power plant pilot area show that the proposed model can better characterize the features of virtual power plant users, and a refined control strategy with better economic benefits can be obtained.

    Abstract Background: Reprogramming of lipid metabolism is closely associated with tumor development, serving as a common and critical metabolic feature that emerges during tumor evolution. Meanwhile, immune cells in the tumor microenvironment also undergo aberrant lipid metabolism, and altered lipid metabolism also has an impact on the function and status of immune cells, further promoting malignant biological behavior. Consequently, we focused on lipid metabolism-related genes for constructing a novel prognostic marker and evaluating immune status in prostate cancer.
    Methods: Information about prostate cancer patients was obtained from TCGA and GEO databases. The NMF algorithm was conducted to identify the molecular subtypes. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression analysis was applied to establish a prognostic risk signature. CIBERSORT algorithm was used to calculate immune cell infiltration levels in prostate cancer. External clinical validation data were used to validate the results.
    Results: Prostate cancer samples were divided into two subtypes according to the NMF algorithm. A six-gene risk signature (PTGS2, SGPP2, ALB, PLA2G2A, SRD5A2, and SLC2A4) was independent of prognosis and showed good stability. There were significant differences between risk groups of patients with respect to the infiltration of immune cells and clinical variables. Response to immunotherapy also differed between different risk groups. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of the signature genes were verified in tissue samples by qRT-PCR.
    Conclusion: We constructed a six-gene signature with lipid metabolism in prostate cancer to effectively predict prognosis and reflect immune microenvironment status.

    Abstract Tone mapping operators (TMOs) aim to adjust high dynamic range (HDR) images to low dynamic range (LDR) ones so that they can be displayed on conventional devices with visual information retained. Nonetheless, existing TMOs can successfully tone-map only limited types of HDR images, and the parameters need to be manually adjusted to yield the best subjective-quality tone-mapped outputs. To cope with the aforementioned issues, an adaptive parameter-free and scene-adaptive TMO for dynamic range adjusting and detail enhancing is proposed to yield a high-resolution and high-subjective-quality tone-mapped output. This method is based on detail/base layer decomposition to decompose the input HDR image into coarse detail, fine detail, and base images. After that, we adopt different strategies to process each layer to adjust the overall brightness and contrast and to retain as much scene information. Finally, a new method, to the best of our knowledge, is proposed for visualization to generate a sequence of artificial images to adjust the brightness. Experiments with numerous HDR images and state-of-the-art TMOs are conducted; the results demonstrate that the proposed method consistently produces better quality tone-mapped images than the state-of-the-art methods.
