    Abstract Most of the existing event-triggered mechanisms (ETMs) were designed according to the difference between the quadratic form of measurement errors and the quadratic form of sampling states (or real-time states). In order to reduce the amount of data transmission and develop ETMs for continuous-time and discrete-time delayed nonlinear systems (NSs) simultaneously, this article investigates quasi-synchronization (QS) of NSs on time scales based on a novel ETM, which is designed according to the convergence rate instead of measurement errors of the addressed systems. First, a novel ETM is designed under known nonlinear dynamics, and it is demonstrated that QS with given convergence rate and error level can be achieved under matrix inequality criteria. Second, if the nonlinear functions are unknown, we adapt our ETM to handle this special case. Not only QS but also complete synchronization with given convergence rate can be achieved under the ETMs. If the constructed Lyapunov functions passes through 0, the designed ETM will keep it at the origin. In this case, finite-time synchronization is achieved. Third, under the designed ETMs, it is proved that Zeno behavior can be excluded. At last, four numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the feasibility and the advantage of the designed ETMs in this article.

    Abstract This article attempts to design the prescribed-time time-varying deployment schemes for first-order and second-order nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs). We assume that all agents can obtain the information of their current and final relative positions with their neighbors, and the final absolute velocities (as well as their current and final relative velocities, the final absolute accelerations for the second-order MASs) through a communication network, whereas two boundary agents are able to obtain their current and final absolute positions (as well as their current and final absolute velocities for the second-order MASs). The neighbor relationship of all agents is described by a spatial variable and two static-feedback controllers are introduced, which can be expressed as a second-order space difference of the spatial variable. Then, the deployment of MASs can be transformed into the stabilization of discrete-space partial differential equation (PDE) systems. Three virtual agents are introduced to constitute the Dirchlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Several algebraic inequality criteria are derived to guarantee that the prescribed-time time-varying deployment can be achieved within a prescribed time under the Dirchlet and mixed boundary conditions. Unlike the published results, our results are derived based on the discrete-space PDE systems instead of continuous-space PDE systems, which is consistent with the discrete spatial distribution of agents. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

    Abstract This article reconsiders synchronization problem of linear complex networks with time-varying delay on time scales. For different types of time scales, aperiodically intermittent control scheme is established by using a matrix-based convex combination method, which has great potential in reducing control consumption and saving communication bandwidth. By employing a common Lyapunov function, aperiodically intermittent controllers are utilized successfully to achieve synchronization of linear delayed complex networks on special time scales onto an isolated node. Next, by constructing a special Lyapunov function with time-varying coefficients, sufficient criteria that consist of two linear matrix inequalities are demonstrated to make linear delayed complex networks on general time scales synchronized onto an isolated system with an exponential convergence rate given in advance. Due to delayed complex networks in this article defined on time scales, the proposed control schemes are applicable to continuous-time networks, their discrete-time forms, and any combination of them. Four numerical examples are offered to highlight the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed aperiodically intermittent control schemes at last.

    Abstract Background: PANoptosis is involved in the interaction of apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis, playing a role in programmed cell death. Moreover, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate the PCD. This work aims to explore the role of PANoptosis-associated lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    Methods: Co-expression analysis identified PANoptosis-associated lncRNAs in HCC. Cox and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) algorithms were utilised to filter lncRNAs and establish a PANoptosis-related lncRNA index (PANRI). Additionally, Cox, Kaplan-Meier and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilised to systematically evaluate the PANRI. Furthermore, Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumor tissues using Expression data (ESTIMATE), single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and immune checkpoints were performed to analyse the potential of the PANRI in differentiating different tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) populations. The consensus clustering algorithm was used to distinguish individuals with HCC having different TIME subtypes. Finally, HCC cell lines HepG2 were utilised for further validation in
    Results: The PANRI differentiates patients according to risk. Notably, ESTIMATE and ssGSEA algorithms revealed a high immune infiltration status in high-risk patients. Additionally, consensus clustering divided the patients into three clusters to identify different subtypes of TIME. Moreover, i
    Conclusions: This is the first PANoptosis-related, lncRNA-based risk index in HCC to assess patient prognosis, TIME and response to immunotherapy. This study offers novel perspectives on the role of PANoptosis-associated lncRNAs in HCC.

    Abstract Global exponential stability (GES) for impulsive timescale-type nonautonomous neural networks (ITNNNs) with mixed delays is investigated in this article. Discrete time-varying and infinite distributed delays (DTVIDDs) are taken into consideration. First, an improved timescale-type Halanay inequality is proven by timescale theory. Second, several algebraic inequality criteria are demonstrated by constructing impulse-dependent functions and utilizing timescale analytical techniques. Different from the published works, the theoretical results can be applied to GES for ITNNNs and impulsive stabilization design of timescale-type nonautonomous neural networks (TNNNs) with mixed delays. The improved timescale-type Halanay inequality considers time-varying coefficients and DTVIDDs, which improves and extends some existing ones. GES criteria for ITNNNs cover the stability conditions of discrete-time nonautonomous neural networks (NNs) and continuous-time ones, and these theoretical results hold for NNs with discrete-continuous dynamics. The effectiveness of our new theoretical results is verified by two numerical examples in the end.

    Abstract Almost all event-triggered control (ETC) strategies were designed for discrete-time or continuous-time systems. In order to unify these existing theoretical results of ETC and develop ETC strategies for nonlinear systems, whose state variables evolve steadily at one time and change intermittently at another time, this article investigates quasisynchronization of delayed neural networks (NNs) on time scales with discontinuous activation functions via ETC approaches. First, the existence of the Filippov solutions is proved for discontinuous NNs with finite discontinuities. Second, two static event-triggered conditions and two dynamic event-triggered conditions are established to avoid continuous communication between the master-slave systems under algebraic/matrix inequality criteria. Third, under static/dynamic event-triggered conditions, a positive lower bound of event-triggered intervals is demonstrated to be greater than a positive number for each event-based controller, which shows that the Zeno behavior will not occur. Finally, two numerical simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of the presented theoretical results in this article.

    Abstract Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the most common high-risk diseases associated with a high mortality rate and is still a challenge to treat effectively. Netrin-1 (NT-1) is a novel peptide with a wide range of biological functions, however, its effects on ALI have not been reported before. In this study, an ALI model was constructed using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and treated with NT-1. Pulmonary function and lung wet to dry weight ratio (W/D) were detected. The expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 2 (CXCL2) were measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that the levels of NT-1 were reduced in the LPS-induced ALI mice model. Administration of NT-1 improved histopathological changes of lung tissues and lung function in LPS-challenged ALI mice. We also report that NT-1 decreased Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and ameliorated pulmonary edema. Additionally, treatment with NT-1 reduced the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as IL-8, IL-1β, and CXCL2 in lung tissues of LPS-challenged ALI mice. Importantly, NT-1 reduced cell count in BALF and mitigated oxidative stress (OS) by reducing the levels of MDA and increasing the levels of GSH. Mechanistically, it is shown that NT-1 reduced the levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and prevented nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65. Our findings indicate that NT-1 is a promising agent for the treatment of ALI through inhibiting TLR4/NF-κB signaling.

    Abstract In recent years, adaptive drive-response synchronization (DRS) of two continuous-time delayed neural networks (NNs) has been investigated extensively. For two timescale-type NNs (TNNs), how to develop adaptive synchronization control schemes and demonstrate rigorously is still an open problem. This article concentrates on adaptive control design for synchronization of TNNs with unbounded time-varying delays. First, timescale-type Barbalat lemma and novel timescale-type inequality techniques are first proposed, which provides us practical methods to investigate timescale-type nonlinear systems. Second, using timescale-type calculus, novel timescale-type inequality, and timescale-type Barbalat lemma, we demonstrate that global asymptotic synchronization can be achieved via adaptive control under algebraic and matrix inequality criteria even if the time-varying delays are unbounded and nondifferentiable. Adaptive DRS is discussed for TNNs, which implies our control schemes are suitable for continuous-time NNs, their discrete-time counterparts, and any combination of them. Finally, numerical examples on TNNs and timescale-type chaotic Ikeda-like oscillator with unbounded time-varying delays are carried out to verify the adaptive control schemes.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread worldwide, and its related stressors are causing a high prevalence of mental health problems among graduate students. This has the potential for long-term effects on their mental well-being. However, few large-scale studies have been conducted on multiple risk and protective factors. Therefore, we aimed to test the impact of social support on depressive symptoms among graduate students and analyze the mediating role of positive coping and the regulatory role of neuroticism. From 1-8 October 2021, 1812 Chinese graduate students were surveyed online. We used a structural equation model to study the mediating role of positive coping in the relationship between social support and depressive symptoms and used the Hayes PROCESS macro to conduct mediating analysis. The incidence of depressive symptoms was 10.40%. These results showed that positive coping influenced the social support's influence on depression symptoms to some extent. Moreover, neuroticism regulates the indirect relationship between social support and depressive symptoms through active coping. Further research is needed to assess the impact of various forms of social support on graduate students' mental health and to develop strategies for maintaining their well-being, such as network mindfulness.
