    Abstract Purpose: Perceived discrimination among higher vocational college students is a prevalent issue in China and is linked to various mental and behavioral problems, including mobile phone addiction. Yet, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between perceived discrimination and mobile phone addiction remain ambiguous.
    Methods: To address this issue, we recruited 1253 higher vocational college students to elucidate the relationship between perceived discrimination and mobile phone addiction. Participants completed a series of self-report questionnaires assessing perceived discrimination, mobile phone addiction, negative emotions, and learning burnout.
    Results: Our findings suggest that perceived discrimination positively influences mobile phone addiction. The negative emotions and learning burnout play mediating effects between perceived discrimination and mobile phone addiction, respectively. Notably, we observe a chain mediating role of negative emotions and learning burnout play between perceived discrimination and mobile phone addiction.
    Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrate that higher vocational college students who perceived stronger discrimination are inclined to exhibit heightened emotional, cognitive, and learning challenges, such as increased negative emotions and learning burnout, which contribute to more serious excessive mobile phone use. These findings elucidate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between perceived discrimination and mobile phone addiction, enriching our understanding of the underlying emotional, cognitive, and learning dynamics in higher vocational college students.

    Abstract The major function of the lysosome is to degrade unwanted materials such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids; therefore, deficits of the lysosomal system can result in improper degradation and trafficking of these biomolecules. Diseases associated with lysosomal failure can be lethal and are termed lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), which affect 1 in 5000 live births collectively. LSDs are inherited metabolic diseases caused by mutations in single lysosomal and non-lysosomal proteins and resulting in the subsequent accumulation of macromolecules within. Most LSD patients present with neurodegenerative clinical symptoms, as well as damage in other organs. The discovery of new biomarkers is necessary to understand and monitor these diseases and to track therapeutic progress. Over the past ten years, mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has flourished in the biomarker studies in many diseases, including neurodegenerative, and more specifically, LSDs. In this review, biomarkers of disease pathophysiology and monitoring of LSDs revealed by MS-based proteomics are discussed, including examples from Niemann-Pick disease type C, Fabry disease, neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses, mucopolysaccharidosis, Krabbe disease, mucolipidosis, and Gaucher disease.

    Abstract To estimate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic nasal dacryocystorhinostomy in the remedy of chronic dacryocystitis. The clinical data of 105 subjects with chronic dacryocystitis enrolled into our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. The subjects were distinguished into nasal endoscopic group (endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy; i.e., 51 cases) according to their surgical methods and external-route group (external-route dacryocystorhinostomy; i.e., 54 cases). The therapeutic effect, lacrimal gland secretion function, tear film stability, degree of epiphora, lacrimal passage patency, complications, and recurrence rate were contrasted between the 2 groups. The nasal endoscopic group exhibited a higher effective remedy rate (98.04%) compared with the external-route group (83.33%). Three months postoperation, both groups showed improvements in lacrimal gland secretion function and tear film stability, with the nasal endoscopic group demonstrating more significant enhancement in lacrimal gland secretion function than the external-route group. Six months postoperation, a reduction in the degree of epiphora was observed in both groups, with the nasal endoscopic group displaying a more pronounced decrease in epiphora severity and a higher lacrimal passage patency rate than the external-route group. Furthermore, the nasal endoscopic group experienced lower incidences of postoperative complications and recurrence rates. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy is safe and effective in the remedy of chronic dacryocystitis.

    Abstract The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor is the pilot area of the Belt and Road, where glaciers and lakes are widely distributed. Recent years, global warming has accelerated the expansion of glacier lakes, which increased the risk of natural disasters such as glacier lake outburst. It is important to monitor the glacier lakes in this region. In this paper, we propose a method combining the object-oriented image analysis with boundary recognition (OOBR) to extract lakes in several study areas of China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). This method recognized the lake boundary with the symmetrical characteristic according to the principle of seed growth of watershed algorithm, which can correct the boundary extracted by the object-oriented method. The overall accuracy of the proposed method is up to 98.5% with Landsat series images. The experiments also show that the overall accuracy of our method is always higher than that of the object-oriented method with different segmentation scales mentioned in this paper. The proposed method improved the overall accuracy on the basis of the results obtained by the object-oriented method, and the results with the proposed method are more robust to the seeds than that with the boundary correction method of the watershed algorithm. Therefore, the proposed method can obtain a high extraction accuracy while reducing the complexity of the object-oriented extraction.

    Abstract This study presents a case of weakly consolidated strata developed in Dananhu No.7 coal mine. Using a combination of numerical simulation, field measurement comparison, and the critical hydraulic gradient criterion, we investigate the overburden failure and the risk possibility of water-sand mixture inrush during excavation. The following are the principal findings: (1) Weakly consolidated rocks have poor physical characteristics, particularly when they are mudded and disintegrated after encountering water, which may become a favorable source of water-sand inrush; (2) The water-conducting zone develops to a height of 160.5 m with a crack-mining ratio of 15.29 times, extending upward to Toutunhe Formation aquifer. The predictions are consistent with measurements in adjacent mines with similar geological conditions; (3) Cracks without larger subsidence are developed at the front edge of the mining direction, and some parallel stepped cracks behind the goaf could be easily observed. Ground subsidence along the goaf center finally displays a symmetrically wide-gentle U shape; (4) The critical hydraulic gradient of Toutunhe Formation aquifer, aquifer above 3# coal seam, and aquifer of 3#-7# coal seam in Xishanyao Formation is 1.314, 1.351, and 1.380, the actual value is 0.692, 2.089, and 7.418 accordingly. It is inferred water-sand mixture outburst will not occur in Toutunhe Formation aquifer, while the potential risk exists in the aquifers of Xishanyao Formation. Through drainage and depressurization projects, a water-sand mixture outburst accident does not occur during excavation. This study reveals the overburden failure characteristics and the initiation mechanism of water-sand inrush in weakly cemented strata, as well as the internal relationship between them, which provides new research ideas for safe operation in other mining areas with similar geological conditions. The research work has certain practical guiding significance.

    Abstract Various geological processes (mineral composition, structure, tectonics, weathering, etc.) affect the physical–mechanical properties of rock. Petrological and engineering geological characteristics of paleoweathered rock (PWR) from the K₁/J₂ contact zone are described in detail via field investigation and experimental testing. This PWR exhibits mainly sandy grains and mud structures, layered and massive strata, and calcareous and argillaceous cements; fissures are developed and often filled with argillaceous and detrital materials; nine minerals and seven oxides are present, and quartz is present in each sample. Long-term weathering results in a consistent bulk density and high total porosity due to the transformation of primary minerals into secondary clay minerals, forming PWR that undergoes argillization in water. The axial point load strength (PLS) is the largest among the tested PLSs, followed by the diametral PLS, and the irregular PLS. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) varies widely, but the results are reliable. The mineralogical, physical and mechanical properties of the PWR are compared to predict one parameter from another and study their mutual influence. The PLS and UCS of the PWR are negatively correlated with the elastic mineral group (EMG) content, weathering alteration indexes, water content, and total porosity and positively correlated with the quartz content, brittle mineral group (BMG) content, bulk density, real density, and longitudinal wave velocity. The UCS and the PLS, axial (diametral) PLS and irregular PLS are positively correlated. These results provide a theoretical basis for physical and mechanical property prediction of PWR masses and rapid estimation of UCS in engineering.

    Abstract Hydrodesulfurization is one of the most critical processes in the petroleum industry to increase the quality and economic value of crude oil. However, this process consumes a great amount of expensive hydrogen to convert sulfur-species to H₂S, which causes a series of critical environmental issues. Herein, we report a novel method of non-thermal plasma assisted catalytic desulfurization of crude oil, while commonly used hydrogen is replaced with low-priced methane. As one of the most common sulfur-containing species in petroleum, thiophene is selected as the model compound in this study. It is proved that non-thermal plasma could effectively convert thiophene with a conversion higher than 90%, while thiophene is mostly converted into the solid deposit. Also, the H₂S emission is well-controlled over a carefully designed Sn–Ga/SBA-15 catalyst. In a 12 h long-term experiment, the reactor still exhibits excellent desulfurization performance and low H₂S emission during the whole test. Several control experiments are performed under N₂ or H₂ for comparison. Among all these atmospheres, N₂ shows the best performance in terms of thiophene conversion and H₂S emission minimization. The effect of CH₄ and H₂ incorporation is also investigated. As the product with the highest proportion, the composition of solid deposit is carefully analyzed, and a novel method of O₂-plasma oxidation is tested to in-situ remove solid deposit over catalyst surface and reactor. In general, this research explores an economical and environmental-friendly alternative for the desulfurization of crude oil.

    Abstract Cytologic diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors can be straightforward on cytologic preparations, given the classical neuroendocrine morphology and expression of neuroendocrine markers confirmed by immunohistochemistry. However, overreliance on neuroendocrine markers can lead to misdiagnosis even if individual cell features suggest a neuroendocrine tumor. We present three unusual cases, two of which were initially diagnosed as neuroendocrine tumors and the third one carried preliminary diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumor on endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspirates. These cases subsequently turned out to be cholangioblastic cholangiocarcinoma, metastatic melanoma, and gastric glomus tumor, respectively. We suggest approaches that could have pointed us towards the correct diagnosis at the outset and discuss potential pitfalls.

    Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common urogenital malignancy in elderly men, for which current treatment strategies include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and androgen-deprivation therapy. However, PCa patients with recurrence or metastasis may ultimately develop therapeutic resistance. Recent studies show that PCa is an immunosensitive tumor and immunotherapy is a feasible option for its treatment, which involves therapeutic vaccination, immune checkpoint inhibitors, tumor microenvironment regulators, bi-specific antibodies, and adoptive cell metastasis. The application of immunotherapy, however, has been hindered by the adverse reactions of the patients and limited effects of single-drug medication. Individualized treatment and combination therapy are expected to be the alternatives in the development of the treatments of PCa.
