    Abstract In the context of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, molecular management has become a focus of the petrochemical industry. The key to achieving molecular management is molecular reconstruction, which relies on rapid and accurate calculation of oil properties. Focusing on naphtha, we proposed a novel property prediction model construction procedure (MDs-NP) employing molecular dynamics simulations for property collections and gamma distribution from real analytical data for calculating mole fractions of simulation mixtures. We calculated 348 sets of mixture properties data in the range of 273 K-300 K by molecular dynamics simulations. Molecular feature extraction was based on molecular descriptors. In addition to descriptors based on open-source toolkits (RDKit and Mordred), we designed 12 naphtha knowledge (NK) descriptors with a focus on naphtha. Three machine learning algorithms (support vector regression, extreme gradient boosting and artificial neural network) were applied and compared to establish models for the prediction of the density and viscosity of naphtha. Mordred and NK descriptors + support vector regression algorithm achieved the best performance for density. The selected RDKFp and NK descriptors + artificial neural network algorithm achieved the best performance for viscosity. Using ablation studies, T, P_w and CC(C)C are three effective descriptors in NK that can improve the performance of the property prediction models. MDs-NP has the potential to be extended to more properties as well as more-complex petroleum systems. The models from MDs-NP can be used for rapid molecular reconstruction to facilitate construction of data-driven models and intelligent transformation of petrochemical processes.

    Abstract Although procurement fraud is always a critical problem in almost every free market, audit departments still have a strong reliance on reporting from informed sources when detecting them. With our generous cooperator, SF Express, sharing the access to the database related with procurements took place from 2015 to 2017 in their company, our team studies how machine learning techniques could help with the audition of one of the most profound crime among current chinese market, namely procurement frauds. By representing each procurement event as 9 specific features, we construct neural network models to identify suspicious procurements and classify their fraud types. Through testing our models over 50000 samples collected from the procurement database, we have proven that such models -- despite having space for improvements -- are useful in detecting procurement frauds.

    Abstract Accurate identification of the physiological intersegmental plane is crucial for successful anatomical segmentectomy. Current techniques, such as the inflation-deflation method, may result in uncertain cutting lines, leading to unsuitable resection extents. Here, we demonstrated the successful use of electromagnetic navigation with methylene blue dye-marking to preoperatively and precisely identify the physiological intersegmental plane in two patients with small-sized peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This novel technique offers the potential for precise cutting lines that align closely with the physiological intersegmental plane, thus improving the accuracy and efficacy of anatomical segmentectomy for these selected NSCLC patients.

    Abstract Laccase is an enzyme known for its eco-friendly uses in environmental cleanup and biotechnology. However, it has limitations such as low stability, high cost, and complex recycling. So, there is a need for laccase mimics that can effectively imitate its properties. Herein, we created copper formate-lysine nanoparticles (Cuf-Lys) that mimic laccase's activity. The developed Cuf-Lys demonstrated remarkable polyphenol oxidase-like activity, stability, and recyclability, making them suitable for the fabrication of efficient colorimetric sensors for the detection of epinephrine. These sensors had a specific response and could accurately measure epinephrine concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 50 μM, with a detection limit as low as 1 μM. Furthermore, the biosensor demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity when applied to the detection of rutin. The limit of detection for rutin was determined to be 0.16 μM while in the linear concentration range of 0.25 to 150.0 μM. We believe that Cuf-Lys provide a new route for the design of laccase mimics, showing potential applications for biomedical diagnosis and environmental monitoring.

    Abstract Chinese Xiaokeng green tea (XKGT) possesses elegant and fascinating aroma characteristics, but its key odorants are still unknown. In this study, 124 volatile compounds in the XKGT infusion were identified by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME), stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), and solvent extraction-solid phase extraction (SE-SPE) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Comparing these three pretreatments, we found HS-SPME was more efficient for headspace compounds while SE-SPE was more efficient for volatiles with higher boiling points. Furthermore, SBSE showed more sensitive to capture ketones then was effective to the application of pretreatment of aroma analysis in green tea. The aroma intensities (AIs) were further identified by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). According to the AI and relative odor activity value (rOAV), 27 compounds were identified as aroma-active compounds. Quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) showed that the characteristic aroma attributes of XKGT were chestnut-like, corn-like, fresh, and so on. The results of network analysis showed that (E, Z)-2,6-nonadienal, nonanal, octanal and nerolidol were responsible for the fresh aroma. Similarly, dimethyl sulfide, (E, E)-2,4-heptadienal, (E)-2-octenal and β-cyclocitral contributed to the corn-like aroma. Furthermore, indole was responsible for the chestnut-like and soybean-like aroma. This study contributes to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of the aroma characteristics of XKGT.

    Abstract With the emergence of the ‘chain reversal’ phenomenon, the design and development of food products has gradually tended to the consumer-oriented pattern. Catering to consumer preference for sensory attributes is a key factor for food enterprises striving for favor in the market. In this paper, a sensory optimization process is proposed for searching for optimal attributes and to provide further sensory improvement suggestions. An intelligent hybrid genetic algorithm (GA)-particle swarm optimization (PSO)-tabu search (TS) algorithm is used for hybrid deep convolutional auto-encoder and support vector machine (DCAE-SVM) grey-box model optimization in high-dimensional variable space. A comparison of GA and GA-PSO on the given grey-box models and dataset demonstrated that the performance of the proposed GA-PSO-TS was effective. The entire framework is also applicable to explain the influence of brands and storage conditions on sensory attributes and consumer preference.

    Abstract For the sake of investigating the effects of residual antibiotics in soil on plant growth, sulfamethazine, which is commonly detected in soil, was selected in this project. In general, the growth index of rice at the seedling and mature stages, physiological/biochemical characteristics of roots and leaves, antibiotic residues, enrichment factors, and transport coefficients in various rice organs were respectively tested and analyzed to evaluate the ecological effects of sulfamethazine residues on rice. The results revealed that the inhibitory effect of sulfamethazine on plant height and biomass was maintained during the whole growth cycle. Moreover, the effect at the seedling stage was greater than that at the growth maturity stage, and the root part was more easily influenced than the seedling section. The root activity, nitrate reductase activity, and leaf chlorophyll content at the seedling stage were hindered by the increase in antibiotic content. By contrast, the antioxidant enzyme change showed a different tendency, in which the superoxide was activated, and the catalase and peroxidase were firstly activated and then inhibited. The sulfamethazine accumulation in various rice organs was in the order of root>leaf>sti>grain. The results of antibiotic risk assessment of rice grains exhibited that EDI/ADI was less than 0.1, indicating no health risk. The effect of sulfamethazine on enrichment factors and transport coefficients at the growth maturity stage was more obvious than that at the seedling stage. Considering the adverse effects of sulfamethazine on rice, we need to take the ecological effects of sulfamethazine on plants into consideration when applying livestock manure as organic fertilizer or using aquaculture water for irrigation, to ensure crop production safety.

    Abstract Edge detection is a crucial step in many computer vision tasks, and in recent years, models based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved human-level performance in edge detection. However, we have observed that CNN-based methods rely on pre-trained backbone networks and generate edge images with unwanted background details. We propose four new fusion difference convolution (FDC) structures that integrate traditional gradient operators into modern CNNs. At the same time, we have also added a channel spatial attention module (CSAM) and an up-sampling module (US). These structures allow the model to better recognize the semantic and edge information in the images. Our model is trained from scratch on the BIPED dataset without any pre-trained weights and achieves promising results. Moreover, it generalizes well to other datasets without fine-tuning.

    Abstract Introduction: Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is a rare and complex lymphatic anomaly with a poor prognosis. There is no standard treatment, and drug therapies are the most common therapeutic method. However, some patients' symptoms become gradually aggravated despite medical treatment. Splenectomy may be an alternative option when pharmacological therapies are ineffective.
    Materials and methods: We reviewed and evaluated the cases of 3 patients with KLA who ultimately underwent splenectomy. Results: The lesions were diffusely distributed and involved the lungs and spleens of the 3 patients. Laboratory examinations revealed that all three patients had thrombocytopenia and reduced fibrinogen levels. All patients underwent symptomatic splenectomy after the medication failed. Surprisingly, their symptoms greatly improved. Histopathological investigation of the splenic lesions of the three patients confirmed the diagnosis of KLA. Immunohistochemical staining showed positivity for CD31, CD34, podoplanin, Prox-1 and angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2).
    Discussion: This study aimed to review the features of KLA patients treated by splenectomy and explore the underlying link between splenectomy and prognosis. The reason for the improvement after splenectomy may be related to increased Ang-2 levels and platelet activation in patients with KLA. Future research should seek to develop more targeted drugs based on molecular findings, which may give new hope for the treatment of KLA.
