    Abstract Background: Parthenolide (PN), a key active ingredient of feverfew, has been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. However, the mechanism of the cytotoxic effect exerted by PN on tumor cells has not been elucidated.
    Objectives: To study the cytotoxic effect of PN on human gastric cancer cells, the specific death mode, and gene expression changes induced by PN.
    Material and methods: In this study, MGC-803 cells were used to study PN-induced cytotoxicity as a gastric cancer cell line. Assays of cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were performed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and a flow cytometer. MGC-803 cells treated with and without PN were separately subjected to high-throughput RNA sequencing. Western blotting was used to investigate the expression of some important proteins.
    Results: Parthenolide exposure elicited cell proliferation inhibition in a doseand time-dependent manner. Parthenolide induced cell cycle arrest at the G1 and S stages. Parthenolide-induced caspase-dependent apoptosis and necroptosis were caused by the activation of RIP, RIP3 and MLKL. MGC-803 cells showed a response to ROS and oxidative stress after PN treatment. Moreover, ROS and cytotoxicity induced by PN were significantly attenuated by a ROS scavenger catalase.
    Conclusions: Parthenolide-induced gastric cancer cell death is a complex ROS-dependent process different from ordinary apoptosis and necrosis, suggesting that PN is a potential treatment option for gastric cancer.

    Abstract Multi-view learning aims to make use of the advantages of different views to complement each other and fully mines the potential information in the data. However, the complexity of multi-view learning algorithm is much higher than that of single view learning algorithm. Based on the optimality conditions of two classical multi-view models: SVM-2K and multi-view twin support vector machine (MvTwSVM), this paper analyzes the corresponding relationship between dual variables and samples, and derives their safe screening rules for the first time, termed as SSR-SVM-2K and SSR-MvTwSVM. It can assign or delete four groups of different dual variables in advance before solving the optimization problem, so as to greatly reduce the scale of the optimization problem and improve the solution speed. More importantly, the safe screening criterion is "safe", that is, the solution of the reduced optimization problem is the same as that of the original problem before screening. In addition, we further give a sequence screening rule to speed up the parameter optimization process, and analyze its properties, including the similarities and differences of safe screening rules between multi-view SVMs and single-view SVMs, the computational complexity, and the relationship between the parameter interval and screening rate. Numerical experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

    Abstract This study investigates the interplay between physical literacy, resilience, and burnout among researchers who experienced strict home quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic in China, with a particular focus on the mediating role of resilience. Employing a two-stage sampling procedure, a total of 363 researchers from diverse disciplines, notably social science and natural science, were enlisted and administered a series of validated scales, including the Perceived Physical Literacy Scale (PPL), the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), and the Chinese version of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBL), via an anonymous online platform. The findings revealed substantial differences in physical literacy, resilience, and burnout across disciplines. Resilience partially mediated the relationship between physical literacy and burnout. Upon a closer examination of the sub-dimensions, resilience was found to fully mediate between factors of motivation, exhaustion, and disengagement. Moreover, one aspect of physical literacy-interaction with the environment-exhibited weaker correlations with both resilience and burnout compared to other dimensions of physical literacy. Overall, the study confirms the significant correlation between physical literacy and psychological parameters, establishing that elevated levels of both physical literacy and resilience serve as key factors in mitigating burnout during the pandemic.

    Abstract Thin endometrium (TE), which mainly occurs as a result of severe damage to the endometrial basalis, is one of the prominent etiologies of menstrual abnormalities, infertility, and recurrent miscarriage in women. Previous studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered ideal cells with multipotency for regenerative medicine and exhibit therapeutic effects on TE through their cellular secretions. However, there is limited research on strategies to enhance MSC secretion to improve their therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we isolated menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs) from menstruation and transformed them into decidualized stromal cells (DSCs), which are specialized cells with enhanced secretory functions. To assess the therapeutic potential of DSCs compared to MenSCs, we conducted a series of experiments in cells and animals. The results demonstrated that DSCs exhibited changes in morphology compared to MenSCs, with a decrease in cell proliferation but a significant improvement in secretion function. Furthermore, DSCs facilitated the restoration of endometrial thickness and increased the number of glands and blood vessel formation. Most importantly, the pregnancy rates in rats were effectively restored, bringing them closer to normal levels. These findings greatly contribute to our understanding of stem cell therapy for TE and strongly suggest that DSCs could hold significant promise as a potential treatment option for TE.

    Abstract Multimodal sentiment analysis has gained popularity as a research field for its ability to predict users' emotional tendencies more comprehensively. The data fusion module is a critical component of multimodal sentiment analysis, as it allows for integrating information from multiple modalities. However, it is challenging to combine modalities and remove redundant information effectively. In our research, we address these challenges by proposing a multimodal sentiment analysis model based on supervised contrastive learning, which leads to more effective data representation and richer multimodal features. Specifically, we introduce the MLFC module, which utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) and Transformer to solve the redundancy problem of each modal feature and reduce irrelevant information. Moreover, our model employs supervised contrastive learning to enhance its ability to learn standard sentiment features from data. We evaluate our model on three widely-used datasets, namely MVSA-single, MVSA-multiple, and HFM, demonstrating that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art model. Finally, we conduct ablation experiments to validate the efficacy of our proposed method.

    Abstract Pingwei San (PWS) has been used for more than a thousand years as a traditional Chinese medicine prescription for treating spleen-deficiency diarrhea (SDD). Nevertheless, the exact mechanism by which it exerts its antidiarrheal effects remains unclear. The objective of this investigation was to explore the antidiarrheal efficacy of PWS and its mechanism of action in SDD induced by Rhubarb. To this end, UHPLC-MS/MS was used to identify the chemical composition of PWS, while the body weight, fecal moisture content, and colon pathological alterations were used to evaluate the effects of PWS on the Rhubarb-induced rat model of SDD. Additionally, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry were employed to assess the expression of inflammatory factors, aquaporins (AQPs), and tight junction markers in the colon tissues. Furthermore, 16S rRNA was utilized to determine the impact of PWS on the intestinal flora of SDD rats. The findings revealed that PWS increased body weight, reduced fecal water content, and decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in the colon. It also promoted the expression of AQPs and tight junction markers and prevented the loss of colonic cup cells in SDD rats. In addition, PWS significantly increased the abundance of Prevotellaceae, Eubacterium_ruminantium_group, and Tuzzerella, while decreasing the abundance of Ruminococcus and Frisingicoccus in the feces of SDD rats. The LEfSe analysis revealed that Prevotella, Eubacterium_ruminantium_group, and Pantoea were relatively enriched in the PWS group. Overall, the findings of this study indicate that PWS exerted a therapeutic effect on Rhubarb-induced SDD in rats by both protecting the intestinal barrier and modulating the imbalanced intestinal microbiota.

    Abstract Unlike the traditional model, the end-to-end (E2E) ASR model does not require speech information such as a pronunciation dictionary, and its system is built through a single neural network and obtains performance comparable to that of traditional methods. However, the model requires massive amounts of training data. Recently, hybrid CTC/attention ASR systems have become more popular and have achieved good performance even under low-resource conditions, but they are rarely used in Central Asian languages such as Turkish and Uzbek. We extend the dataset by adding noise to the original audio and using speed perturbation. To develop the performance of an E2E agglutinative language speech recognition system, we propose a new feature extractor, MSPC, which uses different sizes of convolution kernels to extract and fuse features of different scales. The experimental results show that this structure is superior to VGGnet. In addition to this, the attention module is improved. By using the CTC objective function in training and the BERT model to initialize the language model in the decoding stage, the proposed method accelerates the convergence of the model and improves the accuracy of speech recognition. Compared with the baseline model, the character error rate (CER) and word error rate (WER) on the LibriSpeech test-other dataset increases by 2.42% and 2.96%, respectively. We apply the model structure to the Common Voice-Turkish (35 h) and Uzbek (78 h) datasets, and the WER is reduced by 7.07% and 7.08%, respectively. The results show that our method is close to the advanced E2E systems.

    Abstract Mass spectrometry technology is becoming an important tool for clinical analysis due to its high specificity, high sensitivity and high multi-component detection capability. The current applications of this technology are mainly in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), matrix-assisted laser desorptionionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the related in vitro diagnostic kits. At present, the number of medical device (MD) based on mass spectrometry technology is growing rapidly, especially the number of LC-MS/MS and MALDI-TOF-MS registered MD products, and the standardization of relevant product quality requirements is also being effectively carried out. In general, clinical mass spectrometry equipment is still mainly imported, and the equipment price is relatively high. The development of mass spectrometry kits is mainly based on imported platforms, and domestic equipment is still in its infancy; the further promotion of clinical application of mass spectrometry also depends on the progress of the automation and standardization of the analysis procedure. To investigate the detection performance of mass spectrometry systems, it is necessary to fully consider the characteristics of mass spectrometry technology itself.

    Abstract Background: APOBEC family play an important role in cancer mutagenesis and tumor development. The role of APOBEC family in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been studied comprehensively.
    Materials and methods: The expression data of pan-cancer as well as LUAD was obtained from public databases. The expression level of APOBEC family genes was analyzed in different normal and cancer tissues. APOBEC mutagenesis enrichment score (AMES) was utilized to evaluate the APOBEC-induced mutations and the relation of APOBEC with genomic instability. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify differentially enriched pathways. Univariate Cox regression and Lasso regression were applied to screen key prognostic genes. The immune cell infiltration was estimated by CIBERSORT. RT-qPCR assay, CCK-8 and Transwell assay were conducted to explore gene expression and lung cancer cell invasion.
    Results: Cancer tissues had significantly altered expression of APOBEC family genes and the expression patterns of APOBEC family were different in different cancer types. APOBEC3B was the most aberrantly expressed in most cancer types. In LUAD, we observed a significantly positive correlation of AMES with intratumor heterogeneity (ITH), tumor neoantigen burden (TNB), and tumor mutation burden (TMB). High AMES group had high mutation counts of DNA damage repair pathways, and high enrichment of cell cycle and DNA repair pathways. We identified four prognostic genes (LYPD3, ANLN, MUC5B, and FOSL1) based on AMES, and constructed an AMES-related gene signature. The expressions of four genes were enhanced and accelerated the invasion ability and viability of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, we found that high group increased oxidative stress level.
    Conclusions: APOBEC family was associated with genomic instability, DNA damage-related pathways, and cell cycle in LUAD. The AMES-related gene signature had a great potential to indicate the prognosis and guide immunotherapy/chemotherapy for patients suffering from LUAD.
