    Abstract 1. In a non-cage environment, goose eggs are buried in litter and goose feathers, leading to contamination and discolouration. Such random distribution of goose eggs poses a great challenge to the recognition and location for intelligent picking by robot systems on farm.2. In order to assist in recognition and location of goose eggs in non-cage environments, a novel method was proposed which used three-channel convolutional neural network (T-CNN), composed of improved AlexNet, combined with 'you only look once' (YOLOv5), egg contour curve creation and support vector machine (SVM).3. Using this method, the original goose egg images were put into the YOLOv5 model for target detection and segmentation. In parallel, the median filter and maximum interclass variance method (OTSU) were applied to egg segmentation images to obtain the main pixels for each, and the Kirsch operator was used for edge extraction and contour curves fitting by designing the fitting curve equation to obtain segmentation images with goose egg contour curves.4. In order to further enrich the differences between goose eggs and background, the goose egg segmentation images were divided into three colour components: R, G and B, which were put into T-CNN for feature extraction. Then the eggs were classified by vector stitching and SVM, by adding goose egg contour curve images.5. The recognition and location results showed that about 95.65% of the goose egg pixel blocks in the segmented images were recognised correctly. About 3.81% of the pixel blocks in the segmented images were recognised incorrectly, and the centre of mass offset was about 4.45 pixels.6. This study demonstrated accurate goose egg recognition and location using the proposed method in a non-cage environment. This highlighted its application prospect in intelligent goose egg picking as well as a possible method to use in other species laying eggs outside the nest (floor eggs) as for example laying hens in non cage systems.

    Abstract Objective: This study was designed to investigate the regulatory effects of kinesin family member (KIF) 23 on anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cell viability and migration and the underlying mechanism.
    Methods: Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to analyze the levels of KIF23 in ATC cells. Besides, the effects of KIF23 and sirtuin (SIRT) 7 on the viability and migration of ATC cells were detected using cell counting kit-8, transwell and wound healing assays. The interaction between SIRT7 and KIF23 was evaluated by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay. The succinylation (succ) of KIF23 was analyzed by western blot.
    Results: The KIF23 expression was upregulated in ATC cells. Silencing of KIF23 suppressed the viability and migration of 8505C and BCPAP cells. The KIF23-succ level was decreased in ATC cells. SIRT7 interacted with KIF23 to inhibit the succinylation of KIF23 at K537 site in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293T cells. Overexpression of SIRT7 enhanced the protein stability of KIF23 in HEK-293T cells. Besides, overexpression of KIF23 promoted the viability and migration of 8505C and BCPAP cells, which was partly blocked by silenced SIRT7.
    Conclusions: SIRT7 promoted the proliferation and migration of ATC cells by regulating the desuccinylation of KIF23.

    Abstract Background: X-ray multi-contrast imaging with gratings provides a practical method to detect differential phase and dark-field contrast images in addition to the x-ray absorption image traditionally obtained in laboratory or hospital environments. Systems have been developed for preclinical applications in areas including breast imaging, lung imaging, rheumatoid arthritis hand imaging and kidney stone imaging.
    Purpose: Prevailing x-ray interferometers for multi-contrast imaging include Talbot-Lau interferometers and universal moiré effect-based phase-grating interferometers. Talbot-Lau interferometers suffer from conflict between high interferometer sensitivity and large field of view (FOV) of the object being imaged. A small period analyzer grating is necessary to simultaneously achieve high sensitivity and large FOV within a compact imaging system but is technically challenging to produce for high x-ray energies. Phase-grating interferometers suffer from an intrinsic fringe period ranging from a few micrometers to several hundred micrometers that can hardly be resolved by large area flat panel x-ray detectors. The purpose of this work is to introduce a four-grating x-ray interferometer that simultaneously allows high sensitivity and large FOV, without the need for a small period analyzer grating.
    Methods: The four-grating interferometer consists of a source grating placed downstream of and close to the x-ray source, a pair of phase gratings separated by a fixed distance placed downstream of the source grating, and an analyzer grating placed upstream of and close to the x-ray detector. The object to be imaged is placed upstream of and close to the phase-grating pair. The distance between the source grating and the phase-grating pair is designed to be far larger than that between the phase-grating pair and the analyzer grating to promote simultaneously high sensitivity and large FOV. The method was evaluated by constructing a four-grating interferometer with an 8 µm period source grating, a pair of phase gratings of 2.4 µm period, and an 8 µm period analyzer grating.
    Results: The fringe visibility of the four-grating interferometer was measured to be ≈24% at 40 kV and ≈18% at 50 kV x-ray tube operating voltage. A quartz bead of 6 mm diameter was imaged to compare the theoretical and experimental phase contrast signal with good agreement. Kidney stone specimens were imaged to demonstrate the potential of such a system for classification of kidney stones.
    Conclusions: The proposed four-grating interferometer geometry enables a compact x-ray multi-contrast imaging system with simultaneously high sensitivity and large FOV. Relaxation of the requirement for a small period analyzer grating makes it particularly suitable for high x-ray energy applications such as abdomen and chest imaging.

    Abstract Despite advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis (IE), the burden of IE has remained relatively high over the past decade. With an ageing population and an increasing proportion of healthcare-associated IE, the epidemiology of IE has undergone significant changes. Staphylococcus aureus has evolved as the most common causative microorganism, even in most low- and middle-income countries. Several imaging modalities and novel microbiological tests have emerged to facilitate the diagnosis of IE. Outpatient parenteral antibiotic treatment and oral step-down antibiotic treatment have become new trends for the management of IE. Early surgical intervention, particularly within seven days, should be considered in cases of IE with appropriate surgical indications. We comprehensively review the updated epidemiology, microbiology, diagnosis, and management of IE.

    Abstract Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the consequence of obstruction of retinal vein system caused by a variety of etiologies. Its ocular complications include macular edema, retinal ischemia and neovascular glaucoma. Although many drugs for management of RVO are available, some doctors do not fully understand the exact purpose of each treatment. This article starts from the etiology evaluation of RVO, emphasizing that, besides systemic etiology and risk factor management, the treatment of RVO should focus on the three major complications at the same time, rather than just dealing with macular edema. Meanwhile, a regular follow-up for observing the changes of the degree of retinal ischemia is important for whole course management. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy, the first-line treatment option of RVO, can not only reduce macular edema, but also prevent the complications caused by retinal ischemia and create opportunities for further laser photocoagulation. Laser photocoagulation has an irreplaceable value in the comprehensive treatment of ischemic RVO. Glucocorticoid intraocular implants should not be used alone in the treatment of macular edema secondary to RVO.

The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the control group receiving routine care and the observation group receiving seamless care based on action research. The random assignment was conducted using a simple random sampling technique, ensuring an equal allocation of participants to each group at a 1:1 ratio, resulting in 40 cases in each group. Outcome measures included imaging examination duration, mean nursing duration, examination cognition, and negative emotion scores.Results: Seamless care provided shorter imaging examination duration and nursing duration, and better ensured uneventful examinations than routine care (P< 0.05). Patients given seamless care exhibited higher examination cognition versus those receiving routine care (P< 0.05). Seamless care offered more mitigation of negative emotions for patients than routine care (P< 0.05).Conclusion: Action research-based seamless care effectively improves imaging efficiency and patients’ awareness of imaging examinations and contributes to alleviating patients’ adverse events.Keywords: action research, seamless care, imaging, anxiety

    Abstract With the increasing complexity of users' needs and increasing uncertainty of a single web service in big data environment, service composition becomes more and more difficult. In order to improve the solution accuracy and computing speed of the constrained optimization model, several improvements are raised on ant colony optimization (ACO) and its calculation strategy. We introduce beetle antenna search (BAS) strategy to avoid the danger of falling into local optimization, and a service composition method based on fusing beetle-ant colony optimization algorithm (Be-ACO) is proposed. The model first generates search subspace for ant colony through beetle antenna search strategy and optimization service set by traversing subspace based on ant colony algorithm. Continuously rely on beetle antenna search strategy to generate the next search subspace in global scope for ant colony to traverse and converge to the global optimal solution finally. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional optimization method, the proposed method improves combination optimization convergence performance and solution accuracy greatly.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between sugar in beverage and dementia, Alzheimer Disease (AD) dementia and stroke.
    Methods: This prospective cohort study were based on the US community-based Framingham Heart Study (FHS). Sugar in beverage was assessed between 1991 and 1995 (5th exam). Surveillance for incident events including dementia and stroke commenced at examination 9 through 2014 and continued for 15-20 years.
    Results: At baseline, a total of 1865 (63%) subjects consumed no sugar in beverage, whereas 525 (18%) subjects consumed it in 1-7 servings/week and 593 (29%) in over 7 servings/week. Over an average follow-up of 19 years in 1384 participants, there were 275 dementia events of which 73 were AD dementia. And 103 of 1831 participants occurred stroke during the follow-up nearly 16 years. After multivariate adjustments, individuals with the highest intakes of sugar in beverage had a higher risk of all dementia, AD dementia and stroke relative to individuals with no intakes, with HRs of 2.80(95%CI 2.24-3.50) for all dementia, 2.55(95%CI 1.55-4.18) for AD dementia, and 2.11(95%CI 1.48-3.00) for stroke. And the same results were shown in the subgroup for individuals with median intakes of sugar in beverage.
    Conclusion: Higher consumption of sugar in beverage was associated with an increased risk of all dementia, AD dementia and stroke.
