    Abstract Objective: To explore functional connectivity after intensive attention training in the chronic phase after traumatic brain injury as clinical evidence indicates that intensive attention training improves attention dysfunction in persons with traumatic brain injury.
    Design and subjects: A case series study. Two young adults, 13- and 18-months post traumatic brain injury, with traumatic brain injury induced attention deficits were assigned to 20 h of intensive attention training and neuroimaging.
    Methods: Functional magnetic resonance imaging during a psychomotor vigilance test was conducted pre- and post-intervention.
    Results: The neuroimaging indicated both increased and decreased connectivity density in frontal, posterior and subcortical brain regions, for some regions with separate change patterns for left and right hemisphere respectively, and an overall reduction in variability in functional connectivity.
    Conclusion: The changed and decreased variability of functional connectivity in various brain regions, captured by fMRI during a psychomotor vigilance test after direct attention training in a small sample of persons with traumatic brain injury, suggests further studies of functional connectivity changes in neural networks.

    Abstract The effects of Mooney viscosity (MV) of raw rubbers and mass fraction of bound acrylonitrile (wAN) of nitrile rubber (NBR) 3604 and NBR 2707 on tensile strength (Ts), elongation at break (Eb) and degree of swelling (Ds) of the vulcanizates were studied. The results showed that with the increase in MV of raw rubbers, Ts and Eb of NBR 3604 and NBR 2707 vulcanizates all showed a linear increasing trend, whereas their Ds all showed a linear decreasing trend; when MV of raw rubbers of NBR 3604 and NBR 2707 increased by 1 unit, Ts of their vulca-nizates increased by 0.15 MPa and 0.02 MPa respectively, Eb of their vulcanizates increased by 1.13% and 1.30% respectively, and Ds of their vulcanizates decreased by 0.02% and 0.21% respectively. With the increase in wAN, Ts of NBR 3604 and NBR 2707 vulcanizates all showed a linear increasing trend, whereas Eb and Ds of their vulcanizates all showed a linear decreasing trend; when wAN of NBR 3604 and NBR 2707 increased by 1%, Ts of their vulcanizates all increased by 0.04 MPa, Eb of their vulcanizates decreased by 0.08% and 2.77% respectively, and Ds of their vulcanizates decreased by 0.06% and 0.25% respectively.

    Abstract Low contrast, poor color saturation, and turbidity are common phenomena of underwater sensing scene images obtained in highly turbid oceans. To address these problems, we propose an underwater image enhancement method by combining Retinex and transmittance optimized multi-scale fusion framework. Firstly, the grayscale of R, G, and B channels are quantized to enhance the image contrast. Secondly, we utilize the Retinex color constancy to eliminate the negative effects of scene illumination and color distortion. Next, a dual transmittance underwater imaging model is built to estimate the background light, backscattering, and direct component transmittance, resulting in defogged images through an inverse solution. Finally, the three input images and corresponding weight maps are fused in a multi-scale framework to achieve high-quality, sharpened results. According to the experimental results and image quality evaluation index, the method combined multiple advantageous algorithms and improved the visual effect of images efficiently.

    Abstract In recent years, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) has been recognized as an effective marker for myocardial injury in adults and can be used to diagnose acute myocardial injury and predict major adverse cardiovascular events. It is the gold standard for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in adults. Neonates are a special group, and due to the changes of various physiological processes during the perinatal period, many laboratory markers used in adults may have a low clinical value in neonates. So far, for example, there is still no suitable cardiac serum biomarker that can reflect the true condition of neonatal myocardial injury. In recent years, new breakthroughs have been made in the application of hs-cTnT in the field of neonates. In order to fully understand the role of hs-cTnT in neonatal diseases, this article reviews the research advances in the biological and physiological features of hs-cTnT and its application in neonates.

    Abstract Bloom-induced macroalgal enrichment on the seafloor can substantially facilitate dissolved sulfide (DS) production through sulfate reduction. The reaction of DS with sedimentary reactive iron (Fe) is the main mechanism of DS consumption, which however usually could not effectively prevent DS accumulation caused by pulsed macroalgal enrichment. Here we used incubations to investigate the performance of Fe-rich red soil for buffering of DS produced from macroalgae (Ulva prolifera)-enriched sediment. Based on our results, a combination of red soil additions (6.8 kg/m

    Abstract Background: Advanced prosthetic hands may embed nanosensors and microelectronics in their cosmetic skin. Heat influx may cause damage to these delicate structures. Protecting the integrity of the prosthetic hand becomes critical and necessary to ensure sustainable function. This study aims to mimic the sensorimotor control strategy of the human hand in perceiving nociceptive stimuli and triggering self-protective mechanisms and to investigate how similar neuromorphic mechanisms implemented in prosthetic hand can allow amputees to both volitionally release a hot object upon a nociceptive warning and achieve reinforced release via a bionic withdrawal reflex.
    Methods: A steady-state temperature prediction algorithm was proposed to shorten the long response time of a thermosensitive temperature sensor. A hybrid sensory strategy for transmitting force and a nociceptive temperature warning using transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation based on evoked tactile sensations was designed to reconstruct the nociceptive sensory loop for amputees. A bionic withdrawal reflex using neuromorphic muscle control technology was used so that the prosthetic hand reflexively opened when a harmful temperature was detected. Four able-bodied subjects and two forearm amputees randomly grasped a tube at the different temperatures based on these strategies.
    Results: The average prediction error of temperature prediction algorithm was 8.30 ± 6.00%. The average success rate of six subjects in perceiving force and nociceptive temperature warnings was 86.90 and 94.30%, respectively. Under the reinforcement control mode in Test 2, the median reaction time of all subjects was 1.39 s, which was significantly faster than the median reaction time of 1.93 s in Test 1, in which two able-bodied subjects and two amputees participated. Results demonstrated the effectiveness of the integration of nociceptive sensory strategy and withdrawal reflex control strategy in a closed loop and also showed that amputees restored the warning of nociceptive sensation while also being able to withdraw from thermal danger through both voluntary and reflexive protection.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrated that it is feasible to restore the sensorimotor ability of amputees to warn and react against thermal nociceptive stimuli. Results further showed that the voluntary release and withdrawal reflex can work together to reinforce heat protection. Nevertheless, fusing voluntary and reflex functions for prosthetic performance in activities of daily living awaits a more cogent strategy in sensorimotor control.

    Abstract Background/purpose: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a serious disease endangering the health of patients, and the application of immunotherapy in HNSCC is gradually emerging. However, there is no bibliometric analysis in this research field. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure and research hotspots of immunotherapy for HNSCC.
    Materials and methods: Publications related to immunotherapy for HNSCC from 2002 to 2021 were searched in the Web of Science Core Collection database. The software VOSviewers, CiteSpace, and the R package 'bibliometrix' were used to perform this bibliometric analysis.
    Results: A total of 1297 publications were from 63 countries, led by the USA and China. The number of publications related to immunotherapy for HNSCC has increased rapidly from 2015. University of Pittsburgh and The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center are the main research institutions. Oral Oncology is the most popular journal in this field, and the Journal of Clinical Oncology is the most highly co-cited journal. These publications were from 7569 authors, with Robert L. Ferris publishing the most papers and being the most frequently co-cited. Clinical trials related to nivolumab and pembrolizumab have attracted wide attention. 'Immune checkpoint inhibitors', 'human papillomavirus', 'programmed cell death-ligand 1', and 'programmed cell death protein 1' are the main keywords of emerging research hotspots.
    Conclusion: This study presents a comprehensive summary of the trends and development of immunotherapy for HNSCC, identifies the research frontier and hotspot direction, and could provide a valuable reference for researchers in this field.

    Abstract A highly sensitive and specific detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), a typical nitrated aromatic explosive, was demonstrated by a silicon nanowire (SiNW) array sensor. The SiNW array devices were self-assembled and functionalized with the anti-TNT peptide to obtain unique sensitivity toward TNT. Also, the effect of the biointerfacing linker's chemistry and Debye screening with varied ionic strength of phosphate buffer solution (PBS) on TNT binding response signals were investigated. The optimization of the peptide-functionalized SiNW array sensor showed high sensitivity for TNT with a detection limit of 0.2 fM, the highest sensitivity reported to date. These initial promising results may help accelerate the development of portable sensors for femtomolar level TNT detection.
