    Abstract Cumulative evidence suggests that O-linked β-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) plays an important regulatory role in pathophysiological processes. Although the regulatory mechanisms of O-GlcNAcylation in tumors have been gradually elucidated, the potential mechanisms of O-GlcNAcylation in bone metabolism, particularly, in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) remains unexplored. In this study, the literature related to O-GlcNAcylation and BMSC osteogenic differentiation was reviewed, assuming that it could trigger more scholars to focus on research related to O-GlcNAcylation and bone metabolism and provide insights into the development of novel therapeutic targets for bone metabolism disorders such as osteoporosis.

    Abstract Pathological hair loss (also known as alopecia) and shortage of hair follicle (HF) donors have posed an urgent requirement for HF regeneration. With the revelation of mechanisms in tissue engineering, the proliferation of HFs in vitro has achieved more promising trust for the treatments of alopecia and other skin impairments. Theoretically, HF organoids have great potential to develop into native HFs and attachments such as sweat glands after transplantation. However, since the rich extracellular matrix (ECM) deficiency, the induction characteristics of skin-derived cells gradually fade away along with their trichogenic capacity after continuous cell passaging in vitro. Therefore, ECM-mimicking support is an essential prelude before HF transplantation is implemented. This review summarizes the status of providing various epidermal and dermal cells with a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold to support the cell homeostasis and better mimic in vivo environments for the sake of HF regeneration. HF-relevant cells including dermal papilla cells (DPCs), hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to be induced to form HF organoids in the vitro culture system. The niche microenvironment simulated by different forms of biomaterial scaffold can offer the cells a network of ordered growth environment to alleviate inductivity loss and promote the expression of functional proteins. The scaffolds often play the role of ECM substrates and bring about epithelial-mesenchymal interaction (EMI) through coculture to ensure the functional preservation of HF cells during in vitro passage. Functional HF organoids can be formed either before or after transplantation into the dermis layer. Here, we review and emphasize the importance of 3D culture in HF regeneration in vitro. Finally, the latest progress in treatment trials and critical analysis of the properties and benefits of different emerging biomaterials for HF regeneration along with the main challenges and prospects of HF regenerative approaches are discussed.

    Abstract Existing supervised methods have achieved impressive performance in forecasting skeleton-based human motion. However, they often rely on action class labels in both training and inference phases. In practice, it could be a burden to request action class labels in the inference phase, and even for the training phase, the collected labels could be incomplete for sequences with a mixture of multiple actions. In this article, we take action class labels as a kind of privileged supervision that only exists in the training phase. We design a new architecture that includes a motion classification as an auxiliary task with motion prediction. To deal with potential missing labels of motion sequence, we propose a new classification loss function to exploit their relationships with those observed labels and a perceptual loss to measure the difference between ground truth sequence and generated sequence in the classification task. Experimental results on the most challenging Human 3.6M dataset and the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to exploit action class labels for improved modeling of human dynamics.

    Abstract How do children place numbers on a line where only the endpoints are marked? Previous researchers have shown that the differential estimation patterns on the number line task reflect different strategies used by children. What factors influence their transition from less efficient to more efficient strategies? Children in Grade 1 (n = 66) and Grade 2 (n = 80) completed a 0-100 number line task at two time points of the school year. Their ordinal skills (i.e., number ordering) and spatial skills (i.e., mental rotation) were also measured. A latent transition analysis revealed two types of profiles. Children showing a variable profile were more accurate at estimating the numbers that are close to the endpoints and the middle of the line than other numbers, and their performance did not fit any of the linear, exponential, or logarithmic functions. In contrast, children showing a uniform profile were accurate across all target numbers (i.e., linear performance). Children's verbal strategy reports provided support for the latent profile classification; children showing a uniform profile were more likely to use relational strategies, suggesting they were considering the number line as a whole, whereas children showing a variable profile were more likely to count from one of the three common reference points (i.e., endpoints or the imagined midpoint). Transition between the variable and uniform profiles was predicted by children's ordinal skills, suggesting that children need to understand the ordinal associations among numbers to refine their solution strategies on the number line task.

    Abstract A 65-year-old man presented with asymptomatic retroperitoneal mass that had been detected on ultrasonography performed during a physical screening. He had no hematochezia, hematuria or any other symptoms. Tumor markers were normal, including alpha fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen, neuron-specific enolase and cancer antigen 199. Abdominal CT demonstrated a retroperitoneal mass (white arrow) accompanied by significant thickening of the jejunal wall, involving the left kidney. After enhancement, the mass showed rapid enhancement at arterial phase and venous phase, showed washout at delayed phase. Multi-planar reformation revealed the mass involving the pancreatic tail and the left renal pelvis. Surgical resection was performed and pathological examination confirmed clear cell renal cell carcinoma involving pancreas and jejunum, with immunohistochemical results as follows: CK (partly +), Vimentin (partly +), Pax-8 (+), CD10 (+), P505s (partly +), CA-IX (+), TFE-3 (-), Syn (-), CgA (-), CD56 (+), S-100 (-), SOX-10 (-), HMB-45 (-), Desmin (-),CD117 (-), DOG-1 (-), Melan-A (-), SMA (-), CD34 (+), CD31 (+), CD68 (+), Ki67 (5%+). Discussion.

    Abstract Recently, Vision Transformer (ViT) has achieved promising performance in image recognition and gradually serves as a powerful backbone in various vision tasks. To satisfy the sequential input of Transformer, the tail of ViT first splits each image into a sequence of visual tokens with a fixed length. Then, the following self-attention layers construct the global relationship between tokens to produce useful representation for the downstream tasks. Empirically, representing the image with more tokens leads to better performance, yet the quadratic computational complexity of self-attention layer to the number of tokens could seriously influence the efficiency of ViT's inference. For computational reduction, a few pruning methods progressively prune uninformative tokens in the Transformer encoder, while leaving the number of tokens before the Transformer untouched. In fact, fewer tokens as the input for the Transformer encoder can directly reduce the following computational cost. In this spirit, we propose a Multi-Tailed Vision Transformer (MT-ViT) in the paper. MT-ViT adopts multiple tails to produce visual sequences of different lengths for the following Transformer encoder. A tail predictor is introduced to decide which tail is the most efficient for the image to produce accurate prediction. Both modules are optimized in an end-to-end fashion, with the Gumbel-Softmax trick. Experiments on ImageNet-1K demonstrate that MT-ViT can achieve a significant reduction on FLOPs with no degradation of the accuracy and outperform compared methods in both accuracy and FLOPs.

    Abstract Regularized multi-task learning (RMTL) has shown good performance in tackling multi-task binary problems. Although RMTL can be used to handle multi-class problems based on "one-versus-one" and "one-versus-rest" techniques, the information of the samples is not fully utilized and the class imbalance problem occurs. Motivated by the regularization technique in RMTL, we propose an original multi-task multi-class model termed MTKSVCR based on "one-versus-one-versus-rest" strategy to achieve better testing accuracy. Due to the utilization of the idea of RMTL, the related information included in multiple tasks is mined by setting different penalty parameters before task-common and task-specific regularization terms. However, the proposed MTKSVCR is time-consuming since it employs all samples in each optimization problem. Therefore, a multi-parameter safe acceleration rule termed SA is further presented to reduce the time consumption. It identifies and deletes most of the superfluous samples corresponding to 0 elements in the dual optimal solution before solving. Then, only a reduced dual problem is to be solved and the computational efficiency is improved accordingly. The biggest advantage of the proposed SA lies in safety. Namely, it derives an identical optimal solution to the primal problem without SA. In addition, our method remains effective when multiple parameters change simultaneously. Experiments on different artificial datasets and benchmark datasets verify the validity of the proposed methods.
