    Abstract Background: Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is the most common type of craniopharyngioma (CP). Under the current surgery and/or radiotherapy strategies, the survival rate is high but the long-term quality of life is poor because of the relationship between the hypothalamic-pituitary and the tumor. Many studies had shown that endocrine deficiencies caused by craniopharyngiomas of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis persist throughout almost the entire life of the patients after surgery, requiring them to receive hormone replacement therapy. Thus, we need to explore new treatments to improve the prognosis of patients. In recent years, there are more and more studies on immunotherapy of various tumors. However, due to the rarity of the disease, immunotherapy for ACP is rarely researched. The discovery of the tumor immunosuppressive checkpoint KLRB1 (Killer Cell Lectin Like Receptor B1), which encodes CD161, may provide a novel target for the treatment of ACP.
    Methods: Data analysis of retrospective RNA-sequencing was conducted in a cohort of 51 pediatric samples in the GSE94349 dataset, and the results were well validated in the GSE68015 dataset including 31 pediatric samples. We used R language as the main tool for statistical analysis and graphical work.
    Results: Our research showed that KLRB1 was enriched in ACP. Additionally, the expression of KLRB1 was positively related to immune functions and most inflammatory responses of ACP. We found that most of the T lineage-related immune responses were positively correlated with KLRB1 expression, and KLRB1 played an important role in the activation of inflammatory processes.
    Conclusions: KLRB1 is a promising target for immunotherapeutic strategies.

    Abstract High precision and large measurement range are the target of any one three-dimensional scanner. For a line structure light vision sensor, measurement precision depends on its calibration results, i.e., determining mathematical expression of the light plane in camera coordinate system. However, as calibration results are locally optimal solutions, high precise measurement in a large range is difficult. In this paper, we give a precise measurement method and the corresponding calibration procedure for a line structure light vision sensor with a large measurement range. A motorized linear translation stages with a travel range of 150 mm and a planar target which is a surface plate with a machining precision of 0.05 mm are utilized. With the help of the linear translation stage and the planar target, functions which gives the relationship between center point of the laser stripe and the perpendicular/ horizontal distance are obtained. Once image of light stripe is captured, we can get a precise measurement result from the normalized feature points. Compared with a traditional measurement method, distortion compensation is not necessary and precision of measurement is improved significantly. Experiments show that root mean square error of measurement results according to our proposed method is reduced by 64.67% related to the traditional method.

    Abstract Phytoplasmas are phloem-limited plant pathogenic prokaryotes which can not be cultured in vitro. The pathogens could cause various plant symptoms such as witches'-broom, virescence, and leaf yellows. Ipomoea obscura is a valuable plant species belonging to the family Convolvulaceae, mainly used as a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat diseases such as dehydration and diuresis. In western countries it is commonly referred to as 'obscure morning glory'. During 2020 to 2021, plants showing abnormal symptoms including witches'-broom, internode shortening, and small leaves were found in Hainan Province, a tropical island of China. Approximately 30 % of I. obscura plants in the sampling regions which spanned 400 acres, showed symptoms. In order to identify the associated pathogen, six symptomatic samples and three asymptomatic samples were collected and total DNA were extracted from 0.10 g fresh plant leaf tissues using CTAB DNA extraction method. 16S rRNA and secA gene fragments, specific to phytoplasmas, were PCR amplified using primers R16mF2/R16mR1 and secAfor1/secArev3. The target PCR bands were obtained from the DNA of six symptomatic samples, whereas not from the DNA of the asymptomatic samples. The PCR products of phytoplasma 16S rRNA and secA gene obtained from the diseased samples were cloned and sequenced by Biotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou, China). The 16S rRNA and secA gene sequences identified in the study were all identical with the length of 1330 bp (GenBank accession: OR625212) and 720 bp (OR635662) respectively. According to methods and protocols of phytoplasma identification and classification (Wei and Zhao, 2022), the phytoplasma strain identified in the study was described as Ipomoea obscura witches'-broom (IoWB) phytoplasma, IoWB-hnld strain. The partial 16S rRNA gene sequence of IoWB showed 100 % sequence identity over the full 1330 bp sequence to phytoplasmas belonging to 16SrII group like cassava witches'-broom phytoplasma (KM280679). The BLAST search of the 720 bp partial secA gene fragment of IoWB showed 100% sequence identity for the full sequence to phytoplasmas belonging to 16SrII group like 'Sesamum indicum' phyllody phytoplasma (OQ420657). RFLP analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene using iPhyClassifier demonstrated that the IoWB strain was a member of 16SrII-A subgroup with the similarity coefficient 1.00 to the reference phytoplasma strain (L33765). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA and secA genes by MEGA 7.0 employing neighbor-joining (NJ) method with 1000 bootstrap value indicated that IoWB-hnld was clustered into one clade with the phytoplasmas belonging to 16SrII group, with 98% and 100% bootstrap value separately. To our knowledge, this is the first report that Ipomoea obscura can be infected by phytoplasmas belonging to 16SrII-A subgroup in China. This report adds to the host range of 'Ca. Phytoplasma aurantifolia', documenting the symptoms on I. obscura which will assist in monitoring and control of the associated pathogen.

    Abstract This article investigates the problem of the fully distributed self-triggered secure synchronization control for multiagent systems (MASs) under communication link denial-of-service (CLDoS) attacks. First, an algorithm for constructing a k -connected graph is designed to reduce the impact of CLDoS attacks on MASs. Based on which, a fully distributed observer-based resilient control scheme is co-designed to reduce the dependence on the communication topology information. In addition, a self-triggered method is proposed to avoid the real-time monitoring of system information, further to reduce the resource consumption. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the construction algorithm and resilient control scheme are supported by comparison simulation examples.

    Abstract This article designs a new hierarchical distributed data-driven adaptive learning control algorithm to accomplish the leader-following tracking control objective for nonaffine nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs). The proposed hierarchical control structure is composed of a distributed observer and a decentralized data-driven adaptive learning controller. Considering that some followers cannot directly receive information from the leader, a distributed observer is designed to estimate the information of the leader. Based on this, a decentralized data-driven adaptive learning controller is further devised to enable the follower to track the estimated information of the leader, where the model parameter learning algorithm is developed to capture the dynamic characteristics of the original system. One advantage of the developed hierarchical control learning algorithm is that neither the leader's system model nor the follower's system model is needed. The other one is the elimination of the noncausal problem without the additional assumption. Simulation results exemplify the merits of the theoretical results by comparisons.
