    Abstract Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities. Chain-of-Thought (CoT) has been proposed as a way of assisting LLMs in performing complex reasoning. However, developing effective prompts can be a challenging and labor-intensive task. Many studies come out of some way to automatically construct CoT from test data. Most of them assume that all test data is visible before testing and only select a small subset to generate rationales, which is an unrealistic assumption. In this paper, we present a case study on how to construct and optimize chain-of-thought prompting using batch data in streaming settings.

    Abstract Gamma-decalactone (GDL) is an essential flavor additive with peach-aroma, which can be prepared via microbial biotransformation from ricinoleic acid (RA). The difficulty of RA dispersion in medium limited its utilization, which made the yield of GDL low. In this study, four adsorbent materials (AM) were investigated to increase RA distribution, including halloysite, clay, SUNSIL-130NP silica (130NP), and SUNSIL-130H silica (130H). They were compared with respect to their effects on the biotransformation process, and the mechanism of AM on productivity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was revealed. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis were utilized to reveal the mechanism of AM effect on GDL production. The results showed that AM functioned as an adsorption and slow-releasing carrier of RA and cell immobilization. RA was crosslinked onto the surface of four AM via hydrogen bonds and the contact area between RA and yeast increased without negative viability effect. The best adsorption-embedding rate of RA to AM was 70.94% with 130H and the GDL yield improved to 2.79 g L

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of SChLAP1 (second chromosome locus associated with prostate-1) on microRNA expression in prostate cancer. Differential expression of lncRNAs and microRNA prostate cancer cells were predicted by informatics and confirmed by qRT-PCR. SChLAP1-interacting proteins were characterized by RNA pull-down combined with western blotting, which was verified using RIP and qPCR analysis. Then ChIP assay and DNA pull-down were used to validate the binding of DNMT3a and HEK27me3 with miRNA gene promoters. Target genes of miRNAs were bioinformatically predicted and validated by dual-luciferase reporter assays. The tumorigenicity of prostate cancer cells was assessed using the cancer cell line-based xenograft (CDX) model. We found that SChLAP1 expression was significantly elevated in prostate cancer tissues and cell lines, which was negatively correlated with miR-340 expression. SChLAP1 directly binds with EZH2 and repressed multiple miRNA expression on chromosome 5 including the miR-340-3p in prostate cancer cells through recruiting H3K27me3 to mediate promoter methylation modification of miR-340-5p/miR-143-3p/miR-145-5p to suppress gene transcription. Moreover, DNMT3a was one of the common target genes of miR-340-5p/miR-143-3p/miR-145-5p in prostate cancer cells. And SChLAP1/EZH2 could also promote prostate cancer tumor development via the interaction of microRNA-DNMT3a signaling pathways in xenograft nude mice. Altogether, our results suggest that SChLAP1 enhanced the proliferation, migration, and tumorigenicity of prostate cancer cells through interacting with EZH2 to recruit H2K27me3 and mediate promoter methylation modification of miR-340-5p/miR-143-3p/miR-145-5p with a DNMT3a-feedback loop.

    Abstract Background: Whether eye canting in patients with asymmetric dento-maxillofacial deformities is the result of anatomical asymmetry or a compensatory head position remains controversial.
    Objective: This cross-sectional study aims to verify whether eye canting is correlated with craniofacial skeletal asymmetry.
    Methods & materials: This study was performed by measuring the computed tomographic scans of 223 patients with dento-maxillofacial deformities in Mimics 21.0 software. First grouping was determined based on the intersection angle between the line passing through bilateral lateral canthus point and Frankfurt horizontal plane, and final grouping was based on measurements of the pregroups.
    Results: The patients were finally categorized into three groups: symmetry group (n = 163), asymmetry subgroups 1 (n = 33) and asymmetry subgroups 2 (n = 27). The results of multiple linear regression and comparisons among groups suggests the presence of orbital skeletal asymmetry in patients with eye canting and the eye canting is partly increment dependent of orbital skeletal asymmetry when using bilateral ears as the reference. The result also reveals that there is a greater angle between the line through bilateral ocular landmarks and the line through the bilateral ear landmarks in patients with ocular canting compared to patient without eye canting.
    Conclusion: Patients with asymmetric dento-maxillofacial deformities and with eye canting have vertical asymmetry of the orbital and cranial skeletal landmarks. These symmetry differences between the eyes and ears may affect the overall craniofacial symmetry after orthognathic surgery.

    Abstract Objective: This study, utilizing data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2018, investigates the association between the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a lipid biomarker, and symptoms of depression in American adults.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study of 12,534 adults aged 20 years and older, depressive symptoms were measured utilizing the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scale. Weighted logistic regression models were employed to scrutinize the independent relationship between AIP levels and the likelihood of developing such symptoms. Moreover, a series of subgroup analyses were conducted to delve deeper into these relationships.
    Results: Following adjustment for confounders, logistic regression by grouping AIP into quartiles revealed a significant association between AIP and an augmented likelihood of self-reported depression. Participants in the fourth quartile (Q4) exhibited a higher odds ratio (OR = 1.34, 95 % CI: 1.02-1.75, p < 0.05) compared to those in the first quartile (Q1). Notably, subgroup analysis unveiled significant interactions involving the smoking and diabetes subgroups, indicating that smoking status and diabetes may modify the relationship between AIP and depression incidence.
    Conclusion: This study reveals a positive correlation between AIP and the self-reported likelihood of depression among US adults, thereby underscoring AIP's potential clinical utility as a biomarker for depressive disorders. Our findings emphasize the necessity to consider and optimize cardiovascular health factors within depression management strategies and offer fresh insights into the development of risk stratification and intervention methods for psychiatric conditions.

    Abstract Kombucha, fermented via symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) with black tea, is applied as a nova microbial method for processing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In this study, Lycium barbarum was used as the substrate combined with Kombucha SCOBY to enhance its antioxidant activities and flavor composition. The result indicated that the antioxidant activities of L. barbarum fermentation broth (LBF) was increased and 16.51% higher compared to the infusion. Besides, the inhibition zone of LBF on the 10th day against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus reached the maximum of 18.80 and 21.85 mm. Three typical L. barbarum polysaccharides, including LBP1, LBP2, and LBP3, were extracted and their compositions were identified. Among them, the DPPH scavenging rate and reducing power of LBP2 were 67.36% and 0.612 which were both higher than others. Furthermore, SOD enzyme and cellulase activity of LBF on 10th day were improved by 92.41% and 2.27 times, respectively. Thirty‐one aroma compounds were determined in Lycium barbarum Kombucha ferment via GC–MS. The strongest flavor of the LBF was sourness while the weakest flavor was saltiness which was analyzed through the electronic tongue. Our research provides a theoretical basis for the development of functional L. barbarum Kombucha product and explores the application of Kombucha SCOBY in processing TCM. NOVELTY IMPACT STATEMENT: The fermentation of Kombucha combined with Lycium barbarum with respect to antioxidant and bacteriostatic activities was enhanced prominently. L. barbarum polysaccharides, including LBP1, LBP2, and LBP3, were first identified with nine monosaccharides closely related to biological activity. Aroma compounds of organic acids with sourness flavor made a biggest contribution to L. barbarum Kombucha ferment.
