    Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease globally, and its progression is irreversible. The mechanism of osteoarthritis is not fully understood. Research on the molecular biological mechanism of OA is deepening, among which epigenetics, especially noncoding RNA, is an emerging hotspot. CircRNA is a unique circular noncoding RNA not degraded by RNase R, so it is a possible clinical target and biomarker. Many studies have found that circRNAs play an essential role in the progression of OA, including extracellular matrix metabolism, autophagy, apoptosis, the proliferation of chondrocytes, inflammation, oxidative stress, cartilage development, and chondrogenic differentiation. Differential expression of circRNAs was also observed in the synovium and subchondral bone in the OA joint. In terms of mechanism, existing studies have mainly found that circRNA adsorbs miRNA through the ceRNA mechanism, and a few studies have found that circRNA can serve as a scaffold for protein reactions. In terms of clinical transformation, circRNAs are considered promising biomarkers, but no large cohort has tested their diagnostic value. Meanwhile, some studies have used circRNAs loaded in extracellular vesicles for OA precision medicine. However, there are still many problems to be solved in the research, such as the role of circRNA in different OA stages or OA subtypes, the construction of animal models of circRNA knockout, and more research on the mechanism of circRNA. In general, circRNAs have a regulatory role in OA and have particular clinical potential, but further studies are needed in the future.

    Abstract Recent years have seen rapid development in Information Extraction, as well as its subtask, Relation Extraction. Relation Extraction is able to detect semantic relations between entities in sentences. Currently, many efficient approaches have been applied to relation extraction tasks. Supervised learning approaches especially have good performance. However, there are still many difficult challenges. One of the most serious problems is that manually labeled data is difficult to acquire. In most cases, limited data for supervised approaches equals lousy performance. Thus here, under the situation with only limited training data, we focus on how to improve the performance of our supervised baseline system with unsupervised pre-training. Feature is one of the key components in improving the supervised approaches. Traditional approaches usually apply hand-crafted features, which require expert knowledge and expensive human labor. However, this type of feature might suffer from data sparsity: when the training set size is small, the model parameters might be poorly estimated. In this thesis, we present several novel unsupervised pre-training models to learn the distributed text representation features, which are encoded with rich syntactic-semantic patterns of relation expressions. The experiments have demonstrated that this type of feature, combine with the traditional hand-crafted features, could improve the performance of the logistic classification model for relation extraction, especially on the classification of relations with only minor training instances.

    Abstract The quality of economic development is not sufficient, despite the apparent role that public environmental monitoring and management play in the economy's rapid expansion. Therefore, enhancing the standard of economic growth is of the utmost importance. It is vital to establish innovative management techniques to support social and governmental transformation in order to raise the standard of economic development. Economic development affects public administration's fundamental duties and goals. The division of public administration distributes social resources and enhances the market's function. The fundamental problem in public economic management is how to successfully actualize rational resource allocation, advance social justice, and boost social welfare on the basis of resource scarcity and the breakdown of the market mechanism. This study greatly increases the global optimization performance of the fundamental ant colony method and provides the explicit programme and simulation stages for the new algorithm. Finally, simulation tests are conducted using the basic ant colony algorithm and the upgraded ant colony algorithm in relation to the decision-making model of public economic management. According to the simulation findings, the revised algorithm successfully addresses the traditional approach's drawbacks, including its slow convergence speed and propensity to easily enter local minima, and its optimization performance has increased by 30.23%.

    Abstract The human brain is localized and distributed. On the one hand, each cognitive function tends to involve one hemisphere more than the other, also known as the principle of lateralization. On the other hand, interactions among brain regions in the form of functional connectivity (FC) are indispensable for intact function. Recent years have seen growing interest in the association between lateralization and FC. However, FC metrics vary from spurious correlation to causal associations. If lateralization manifests local processing and causal network interactions, more causally valid FC metrics should predict lateralization index (LI) better than FC based on simple correlations. The present study directly investigates this hypothesis within the activity flow framework to compare the association between lateralization and four brain connectivity metrics: correlation-based FC, multiple-regression FC, partial-correlation FC, and combinedFC. We propose two modeling approaches: the one-step approach, which models the relationship between LI and FC directly, and the two-step approach, which predicts the brain activation and calculates the LI. Our results indicated that multiple-regression FC, partial-correlation FC, and combinedFC could significantly improve the model prediction compared to correlation-based FC, which was consistent in a spatial working memory task (typically right-lateralized) and a language task (typically left-lateralized). The one-step and two-step approach yielded similar conclusions. In addition, the finding was replicated in a clinical sample of schizophrenia (SZ), bipolar disorder (BP), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present study suggests that the causal interactions among brain regions help shape the lateralization pattern.

    Abstract RNA-targeting type VI CRISPR-Cas effectors are widely used in RNA applications. Cas13h is a recently identified subtype of Cas13 ribonuclease, with strong RNA cleavage activity and robust in vivo RNA knockdown efficiency. However, little is known regarding its biochemical properties and working mechanisms. Biochemical characterization of Cas13h1 indicated that it lacks in vitro pre-crRNA processing activity and adopts a central seed. The cleavage activity of Cas13h1 is enhanced by a R(G/A) 5'-PFS, and inhibited by tag:anti-tag RNA pairing. We determined the structures of Cas13h1-crRNA binary complex at 3.1 Å and Cas13h1-crRNA-target RNA ternary complex at 3.0 Å. The ternary complex adopts an elongated architecture, and encodes a nucleotide-binding pocket within Helical-2 domain to recognize the guanosine at the 5'-end of the target RNA. Base pairing between crRNA guide and target RNA disrupts Cas13h1-guide interactions, leading to dramatic movement of HEPN domains. Upon target RNA engagement, Cas13h1 adopts a complicated activation mechanism, including separation of HEPN catalytic residues and destabilization of the active site loop and NTD domain, to get activated. Collectively, these insights expand our understanding into Cas13 effectors.

    Abstract Gallbladder cancer is a common type of biliary tract tumor. Optimal management for early stage cases typically involves radical excision as the primary treatment modality. Various surgical techniques, including laparoscopic, robotic, and navigational surgery, have demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes in radical gallbladder excision. Unfortunately, most patients are ineligible for surgical intervention because of the advanced stage of the disease upon diagnosis. Consequently, non-surgical interventions, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, have become the mainstay of treatment for patients in advanced stages. This review focuses on elucidating various surgical techniques as well as advancements in immunotherapy and targeted therapy in the context of recent advancements in gallbladder cancer research.

    Abstract Public health emergencies are inevitable major development crises, and there are almost no omens of any emergency. The current social development would inevitably affect the psychological situation of civil servants. Grass roots civil servants have a wider range of tasks, more difficult working conditions and a more difficult environment. Under the strong social pressure, civil servants would also have negative factors such as fear and negative attitude. The mental health of grass-roots civil servants depends not only on the image and efficiency of the government, but also on creating a harmonious atmosphere and the quality of economic development. Therefore, people must pay attention to the psychological health of civil servants. It is mainly through psychological intervention and psychological adjustment to improve mental health. By analyzing the psychological characteristics of civil servants under emergencies and under pressure, and according to the importance of their coping ability under emergencies, this paper conducted corresponding psychological adjustment and psychological intervention to ensure the psychological health of civil servants, improve their ability to deal with public emergencies, and enable them to use correct and positive psychology to deal with public emergencies. It can be seen from the firefly algorithm that the prediction error value of the comprehensive quality of civil servants was declining, while the evaluation effect of the comprehensive quality was rising. The average value of the prediction error value of the comprehensive quality was about 0.49, and the average value of the evaluation effect of the comprehensive quality was about 0.73. In the whole process, the prediction error value of comprehensive quality decreased by 0.37, and the evaluation effect of comprehensive quality increased by 0.33. The comprehensive psychological quality and psychological adjustment ability of civil servants after psychological intervention were better than those before psychological intervention. The comprehensive psychological quality of civil servants after psychological intervention was 8.56% higher than that before psychological intervention, and the psychological adjustment ability was 8.47% higher than that before psychological intervention.
