    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with primary sarcoma of the uterine cervix.
    Methods: We identified all patients with primary cervical sarcomas treated at our institution from 2002 to 2020 and analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.
    Results: 34 patients were identified, 7 (20.6%) patients had leiomyosarcoma, 6 (17.6%) had carcinosarcoma, 5 (14.7%) had Ewing sarcoma, 4 (11.8%) had rhabdomyosarcoma, 4 (11.8%) had undifferentiated sarcoma, 2 (5.9%) had adenosarcoma, 2 (5.9%) had endometrial stromal sarcoma, 1 (2.9%) had dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, 1 (2.9%) had alveolar soft tissue sarcoma and 2 (5.9%) had sarcoma not otherwise specified. The median age of the whole patients was 43.5 years (range, 13-63). The median age of patients with Ewing sarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma was 22 years (range, 13-39) and 17 years (range, 13-36 years), respectively. The distribution by stage was: stage I in 21 (61.8%) patients, stage II in 4 (11.8%), stage III in 6 (17.6%) and stage IV in 3 (8.8%). Overall, 30 patients (88.2%) received surgical treatment. The median follow-up was 33.3 months (range 3.6-187.3 months). 11 patients died within 2 years after diagnosis, most of them were patients with carcinosarcoma or undifferentiated sarcoma (45.5%, 5/11). In the entire cohort, 2- and 5-year OS were 67.2% and 56.9%, respectively. 5-year OS was 25.0% for undifferentiated sarcoma, 50.0% for rhabdomyosarcoma, 50.0% for carcinosarcoma, 53.3% for Ewing sarcoma, 57.1% for leiomyosarcoma.
    Conclusion: Cervical sarcomas are rare neoplasms with multiple histological subtypes and follow an aggressive course. Prognosis may be associated with tumor histology and stage.

    Abstract The adoption of intelligent construction technology (ICT) is regarded as one of the important strategies for the transformation and upgrading of the Chinese construction industry and the achievement of high-quality development. In the ICT adoption process, the government is the driving subject, the owner is an important subject, and ICT is applied in practice by the general contractor. This study first analyses the evolutionary process and the impact of participants' strategy choices on the system equilibrium by establishing a tripartite evolutionary game framework which includes the government, the owner, and the general contractor as the main stakeholders; then tests the feasibility and rationality of the model by analysing the ESS corresponding to the three phases of ICT adoption. The results show that the conditions for each ESS to be established mainly depend on the relationship between the costs and benefits of each stakeholder, and that owners are more sensitive to government subsidies and penalties than general contractors, so the government should establish a dynamic reward and punishment mechanism based on the results of the model. High adoption costs are a key barrier to ICT adoption for both owners and general contractors. This paper provides a new framework for research related to ICT adoption and a reference for the strategic adjustment of stakeholders in ICT adoption.

    Abstract In recent years, in the process of promoting prefabricated buildings, problems such as waste of resources and energy have been present, which have seriously hindered the realization of carbon emission reduction benefits of prefabricated buildings. Especially during the materialization stage of prefabricated buildings which involves the most engineering activities and the most extensive sources of carbon emissions, it is urgent to further meet the low-carbon development of the construction industry. This study takes the 4 substages of design and development, component production, transportation, and installation during the materialization stage as the point of penetration and identifies the carbon reduction impact pathways based on the 3E (Environment-Economy-Energy) system theory in 5 dimensions: government policy, management mode, technology level, economy input, and energy structure. The data are collected through the questionnaire survey, and structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized to examine the hypothesis and impact dimensions of the study. The results confirm that the management mode has the strongest effects on carbon emission reduction, followed by government policy, economy input, and technology level, and the energy structure has the weakest effects. This study presents the key carbon reduction pathways during the materialization stage of prefabricated buildings and provides recommendations for different participants to optimize policy guidance, strengthen management supervision, accelerate technology research and development, increase economy input, and optimize energy structure, with a view to achieving low-carbon governance capacity, management mode, technology system, capital, and energy utilization, and also enriches the theory in the field of prefabricated buildings carbon emission reduction, which can better achieve low-carbon development of prefabricated buildings.

    Abstract Purpose: To explore the association between preoperative WBC count and the long-term survival outcomes and clinical outcomes in different stage patients who underwent surgical resection for colorectal cancer (CRC).
    Patients and methods: A cohort of 8121 Chinese patients who underwent surgical resection for CRC from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2014 were enrolled as part of the retrospective cohort were retrospectively analyzed. Based on that the preoperative WBC optimal cut-off value was 7*10
    Results: After IPTW, the clinical characters in the high preoperative WBC count group and the low preoperative WBC count group were balanced. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 5-year OS rate were significantly lower in the high preoperative WBC count group overall, in stage II and IV. The 5-year DFS rate was significantly lower overall, in stage II and III in the high preoperative WBC count group. High preoperative WBC count was associated with poorer OS overall in stage II and stage IV.
    Conclusions: This study suggests that preoperative WBC count is an independent risk factor for survival in patients undergoing colorectal surgery and may need to consider the stage of cancer when applied to predict long-term adverse outcome prognosis.

    Abstract A serious game titled "Crossing the Jungle" was developed in this study to train children's inhibition skills using the Stroop task. The effects of inhibitory control on children were tested by a pre-test, post-test, and one-month follow-up test. In the control groups, children were asked to play a commercial game instead. In experiment 1, 48 participants chose either the training or control game voluntarily, whereas, in experiment 2, 44 participants were randomly assigned to either group. In both experiments, children exposed to the serious game demonstrated training effects from the Stroop spatial task and near-transfer effects from the Flanker task. However, transferring effects were not produced by the Go/No-go task. As a result, although the serious game "Crossing the Jungle" does not improve response inhibition, children aged 9 to 12 who play it may benefit from improved interference inhibition abilities. This provides evidence for the mutual independence of interference inhibition and response inhibition in children at this stage.

    Abstract Mural paintings, as the main components of painted cultural relics, have essential research value and historical significance. Due to their age, murals are easily damaged. Obtaining intact sketches is the first step in the conservation and restoration of murals. However, sketch extraction often suffers from problems such as loss of details, too thick lines, or noise interference. To overcome these problems, a mural sketch extraction method based on image enhancement and edge detection is proposed. The experiments utilize Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and bilateral filtering to enhance the mural images. This can enhance the edge features while suppressing the noise generated by over-enhancement. Finally, we extract the refined sketch of the mural using the Laplacian Edge with fine noise remover (FNR). The experimental results show that this method is superior to other methods in terms of visual effect and related indexes, and it can extract the complex line regions of the mural.

    Abstract Plants appear quiet: quietly, they break the ground, expand leaves, search for resources, alert each other to invaders, and heal their own wounds. In contrast to the stationary appearance, the inside world of a plant is full of movements: cells divide to increase the body mass and form new organs; signaling molecules migrate among cells and tissues to drive transcriptional cascades and developmental programs; macromolecules, such as RNAs and proteins, collaborate with different partners to maintain optimal organismal function under changing cellular and environmental conditions. All these activities require a dynamic yet appropriately controlled molecular network in plant cells. In this short review, we used the regulation of cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) as an example to discuss how dynamic biochemical processes contribute to plant development. CRLs comprise a large family of modular multi-unit enzymes that determine the activity and stability of diverse regulatory proteins playing crucial roles in plant growth and development. The mechanism governing the dynamic assembly of CRLs is essential for CRL activity and biological function, and it may provide insights and implications for the regulation of other dynamic multi-unit complexes involved in fundamental processes such as transcription, translation, and protein sorting in plants.

    Abstract In this paper, a multi-view stereo vision patchmatch algorithm based on data augmentation is proposed. Compared to other works, this algorithm can reduce runtime and save computational memory through efficient cascading of modules; therefore, it can process higher-resolution images. Compared with algorithms utilizing 3D cost volume regularization, this algorithm can be applied on resource-constrained platforms. This paper applies the data augmentation module to an end-to-end multi-scale patchmatch algorithm and adopts adaptive evaluation propagation, avoiding the substantial memory resource consumption characterizing traditional region matching algorithms. Extensive experiments on the DTU and Tanks and Temples datasets show that our algorithm is very competitive in completeness, speed and memory.
