    Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, have sparked considerable interest among researchers across diverse disciplines owing to their remarkable text processing and generation capabilities. While ChatGPT is typically employed for tasks involving general knowledge, researchers increasingly explore the potential of this LLM-based tool in specific domains to enhance productivity. This study aims to compare the performance of a finetuned BERT model with that of ChatGPT on a domain-specific dataset in the context of developing an intelligent design support system. Through experiments conducted on classification and generation tasks, the knowledge transfer and elicitation abilities of ChatGPT are examined and contrasted with those of the finetuned BERT model. The findings indicate that ChatGPT exhibits comparable performance to the finetuned BERT model in sentence-level classification tasks but struggles with short sequences. However, ChatGPT's classification performance significantly improves when a few-shot setting is applied. Moreover, it can filter out unrelated data and enhance dataset quality by assimilating the underlying domain knowledge. Regarding content generation, ChatGPT with a zero-shot setting produces informative and readable output for domain-specific questions, albeit with an excessive amount of unrelated information, which can burden readers. In conclusion, ChatGPT demonstrates a promising potential for application in facilitating data labeling, knowledge transfer, and knowledge elicitation tasks. With minimal guidance, ChatGPT can substantially enhance the efficiency of domain experts in accomplishing their objectives. The findings suggest a nuanced integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with human expertise, bridging the gap from mere classification models to sophisticated human-analogous text generation systems. This signals a future in AI-augmented engineering design where the robust capabilities of AI technologies integrate with human creativity and innovation, creating a dynamic ...

    Abstract Background: Caffeine has been reported to increase gastrointestinal motility and change intestinal microbiota. Constipation may be caused by colonic motor dysfunction and colonic microbiomeis disturbances. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between caffeine intake and constipation.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Caffeine intake was assessed using 24-h dietary recall method, and constipation was defined based on stool consistency or stool frequency. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between caffeine intake and constipation, and results were expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Subgroup analysis was performed based on age.
    Results: A total of 13,816 participants were finally included for analysis. After adjusting potential confounders, high intake of caffeine was found to be associated with the low odds of constipation (Q3: OR = 0.60, 95%CI: 0.49-0.74; Q4: OR = 0.77, 95%CI: 0.59-0.99; Q5: OR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.56-0.92). The similar association was found in young people and middle-age people (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: High caffeine intake was associated with the low odds of constipation. Our finding indicated that individuals should develop consciousness and habit of consuming caffeinated foods and drinks to prevent and relief the constipation.

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to explore global research trends on exercise interventions for nonspecific low back pain from 2018 to 2023 through bibliometric analysis.
    Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database to select relevant research articles published between 2018 and 2023. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, the relationships and impacts among publications, different countries, journals, author groups, references, and keywords were analyzed in depth.
    Results: The bibliometric analysis included 4,896 publications, showing a trend of initial growth followed by a decline. At the national level, the United States made the most significant contributions in this field. The journal "Lancet" had three of the top 10 most-cited articles, with an average citation count of 306.33, and an impact factor reaching 168.9 in 2023. The analysis also revealed that "disability," "prevalence," and "management" were high-frequency keywords beyond the search terms, while "rehabilitation medicine," "experiences," and "brain" emerged as new hotspots in the research.
    Conclusion: This study reveals the global trends in research on exercise interventions for nonspecific low back pain over the past 5 years and highlights potential research frontiers in the field. These findings provide a solid foundation for focusing on key issues, potential collaboration directions, and trends in research development in the future, offering valuable references for further in-depth studies.

    Abstract Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor caused by nasopharyngeal epithelium. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs have been identified as vital regulators in many tumors, including NPC. This study aimed to explain the biological roles and relevant mechanisms of lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 (FOXP4-AS1) in NPC. The levels of lncRNA FOXP4-AS1, miR-136-5p and MAPK1 in C666-1 and NP69 cells were analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). C666-1 cells viability, migration and invasion were evaluated by MTT and Transwell assay, respectively. The target gene of miR-136-5p predicted by TargetScan was further verified using dual luciferase reporter assay. Moreover, qRT-PCR and Western blot were adopted to assess epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related gene expression, including E-cadherin and N-cadherin. We found that lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 was upregulated, while miR-136-5p was low-expressed in C666-1 cells, as opposed to NP69. Knockdown of FOXP4-AS1 notably suppressed C666-1 cell growth, inhibited cell migration and invasion. We also observed that E-cadherin expression was fortified and N-cadherin level was decreased in C666-1 cells after FOXP4-AS1-siRNA transfection. However, all these findings were eliminated in C666-1 cells after miR-136-5p inhibitor treatment. We also found miR-136-5p directly targeted MAPK1 and correlated inversely with MAPK1 expression in C666-1 cells. Further investigation suggested that MAPK1-plasmid reversed the effects of miR-136-5p mimic on cells viability, migration, invasion and EMT. To conclude, our data revealed that lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 knockdown alleviated metastasis and EMT in NPC via miR-136-5p/MAPK1, indicating that lncRNA FOXP4-AS1 may be a valuable therapeutic target for NPC diagnosis and treatment.

    Abstract In this paper, an innovative event-triggered optimal tracking control algorithm is proposed for input saturated strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown dynamics. In order to reduce the requirement of configuring a complete suit of sensors and enhance the reliability of the controlled system, a neural networks (NNs) based adaptive state observer is developed firstly to reconstruct the system states. Subsequently, based on the state estimation information, a hybrid-triggered feedforward controller is designed to transform the original tracking control problem into an equivalent regulation issue, which is then solved by developing an event-triggered optimal controller. Therefore, the final controller consists of a hybrid-triggered feedforward controller and an event-triggered optimal controller. In order to make the actual input signals of the two controllers be updated simultaneously, a synchronization-oriented triggering rule is established by using multiple triggering errors. By virtue of this unique framework, the proposed control scheme can not only minimize the predefined cost function, but also greatly reduce the data transmission. What is more, the convergence properties of the proposed control strategy are achieved by using Lyapunov theory. It is important to note that unlike the widely adopted observer-controller framework, where the separation principle holds for the design of the state observer, there is a considerable coupling relationship between the error dynamics of the state observer and the event-triggered optimal controller in this paper. The distinguishing feature of the proposed method is its ability to ensure a satisfactory level of precision in both state estimation and tracking control, even in the presence of control saturation issues. At last, the proposed control strategy is applied to the tracking control problem of a high-order robot system and marine surface vehicle to demonstrate its effectiveness.

    Abstract Background: Peer interactions are critical to young children's social development, and proximal-system has a direct influence on personal growth. The study aims to analyze the relationship between parental psychological control and young children's peer interactions, as well as the moderating role of teachers' emotional support in this association.
    Methods: A total of 241 children aged 3-6 years, alongside their parents, and 27 teachers, participated in the study. Teachers reported children's peer interactions whilst parents reported their psychological control. The level of teachers' emotional support was co-coded by two researchers.
    Results: The results of the study indicated that parental psychological control was significantly and negatively related to young children's peer interactions; teachers' emotional support was significantly and positively related to young children's peer interactions; the cross-level moderating effect validates our hypothesis that teachers' emotional support has a moderating effect between parental psychological control and young children's peer interactions, buffering the impact of parental psychological control on young children's peer interactions.
    Conclusion: These findings expand our comprehension of the association between parental psychological control, teachers' emotional support, and young children's peer interactions, and provide guidance for integrating the components of the proximal system and devising interventions to establish a home-school harmony environment that fosters children's social development.

    Abstract Background: Local ischemic preconditioning (LIPC) has been proven to be a protective strategy against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) during hepatectomy. Growing evidence suggests remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has the potential to reduce liver injury in hepatectomy. Few studies have directly compared the protective effects of these two mechanical preconditioning strategies. Therefore, we performed a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of LIPC and RIPC for hepatic injury during liver resection.
    Methods: We searched Cochrane, PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from the database inception to January 2023. We included studies directly comparing the effectiveness of LIPC and RIPC and those comparing LIPC or RIPC with no-preconditioning in liver resection. Postoperative liver function and surgical events were analyzed. Data were expressed as standardized mean differences (SMDs) or odds ratios (ORs) and analyzed using network meta-analysis with random effects model.
    Results: Following the screening of 268 citations, we identified 26 eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) involving 1,476 participants (LIPC arm: 789, RIPC arm: 859, no-preconditioning arm: 1,072). LIPC and RIPC were superior to no-preconditioning in reducing postoperative serum transaminase levels [aspartate aminotransferase (AST): SMD RIPC versus no-preconditioning: -2.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): -3.39, -0.71; SMD LIPC versus no-preconditioning: -1.10, 95% CI: -2.07, -0.12; alanine aminotransferase (ALT): SMD RIPC versus no-preconditioning: -2.24, 95% CI: -4.15, -0.32; SMD LIPC versus no-preconditioning: -1.32, 95% CI: -2.63, -0.01]. No significant difference was observed between RIPC and LIPC in postoperative liver function and surgical outcomes (AST: SMD RIPC versus LIPC: -0.95, 95% CI: -2.52, 0.62; ALT: SMD RIPC versus LIPC: -0.91, 95% CI: -3.11, 1.28). In addition, the subgroup analysis revealed the potential benefits of RIPC in improving liver function, especially in patients who diagnosed with cirrhosis or underwent major resection.
    Conclusions: RIPC and LIPC could serve as effective strategies in relieving HIRI during hepatectomy. No significant differences were observed between LIPC and RIPC, however, RIPC may be an easily applicable strategy to relieve liver injury in hepatectomy.

    Abstract It is of great significance to develop high-performance thermoelectric (TE) materials, because they can be used to harvest waste heat into electricity and there is abundant waste heat on earth. The conventional TE materials are inorganic semimetals or semiconductors like Bi2Te3 and its derivatives. However, they have problems of high cost, scare/toxic elements, high thermal conductivity, and poor mechanical flexibility. Organic TE materials emerged as the next-generation TE materials because of their merits including solution processability, low cost, abundant element, low intrinsic thermal conductivity, and high mechanical flexibility. Organic TE materials are mainly conducting polymers because of their high conductivity. Both the conductivity and Seebeck coefficient depend on the doping level, and they are interdependent. Hence, the TE properties of polymers can be improved through doping/dedoping engineering. There are three types of doping forms, oxidative (or reductive) doping, protonic acid doping, and charge transfer doping. Accordingly, they can be dedoped by different approaches. In this article, we review the methods to dope and dedope p-type and n-type TE polymers and the combination of doping and dedoping to optimize their TE properties. Secondary doping is also covered, since it can significantly enhance the conductivity of some TE polymers.

    Abstract Background: The Global School Student Health Survey (GSHS) is being carried out by students in various countries across the globe to advance improved health programs for youth. However, in comparison to high-income countries, adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are generally at an early stage of understanding regarding physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB), often exhibiting low levels of PA and high levels of SB. Furthermore, there is limited evidence connecting PA and SB in school-going adolescents from LMICs.
    Purpose: The objective of this review was to synthesize the available evidence regarding PA and sedentary behavior among school-going adolescents in LMICs using data from the GSHS.
    Method: On March 18, 2023, a systematic literature search was performed across four electronic databases, namely Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and EBSCO with n odaterestrictions. Studies were eligible if they: (1) utilization of data sourced from the Global Student-based Health Survey; (2) exploration of physical activity; (3) specific focus on adolescents; (4) conducted in low- and middle-income countries; (5) study design encompassing observational; (6) published as English journal articles.
    Results: Among the 29 studies included in the analysis, the majority revealed elevated levels of sedentary behavior and diminished levels of PA in low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, notable disparities in physical engagement and sedentary behavior were noted between male and female adolescents (
    Conclusions: The results of this review affirm that in contrast to high-income countries, adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are in the early stages of comprehending physical activity, marked by low levels of PA. Physical activity and sedentary behavior in school-going adolescents from LMICs appear to be influenced by factors such as policies, cultural norms, socioeconomic conditions, as well as gender, and age.

    Abstract The formation of organo-mineral associations serves as a crucial mechanism for stabilizing soil organic matter, particularly for determining the fate of soil organic carbon (OC) in redox dynamic wetlands characterized by high C content. Despite its importance, few studies have assessed the retention, transformation, and transport of colloids (1–1000 nm) and colloidal OC (COC) in those environments. This leaves a crucial knowledge gap concerning the quantities of colloids and COC and their molecular compositions, especially considering the significant role of metabolically active depressional wetlands that may play as biogeochemical hotspots for C cycling. To address this gap, we conducted a study in a Delmarva Bay depressional wetland located in Blackbird State Forest, Delaware, USA. We established a transect encompassing upland (U), transition (T), and wetland (W) zones based on seasonal hydrologic conditions. We installed piezometers at 50 cm, 100 cm, and 200 cm depths within each zone and collected pore-water samples from 11/2017 to 05/2019. We then fractionated these samples into dissolved (<2.3 nm), natural nanoparticle (NNP, 2.3–100 nm), fine colloid (100–450 nm), and particulate (450–1000 nm) fractions via sequential centrifugation and ultrafiltration, and quantified their concentration and molecular composition. We observed variations in the concentration and molecular composition of soil COC both vertically at different soil depths and horizontally along a redox gradient from the U-T-W transect. The sum of the NNP and fine colloid fractions accounted for 47±20% of the operationally defined “dissolved” (<450 nm) fraction. Isotope ratio mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses further revealed that the NNP fraction is more enriched in heavier δ13C isotope and oxidized carbonyl/carboxyl C functional groups (C=O, p<0.05) with significantly higher surficial atomic percentages of C (p<0.01), N (p<0.01), and Mg:Al ratios (p<0.05), and lower atomic percentages of Al ...
