    Abstract Objective: To investigate the potential application of α-1 blocker (urapidil) in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in male patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis.
    Methods: Our study involved identifying and collecting randomized controlled trials (RCT) and clinical observational studies from databases including PubMed、MEDLINE、Web of science、CNKI and Wanfang database. We performed meta-analysis using RevMan 5.2.0 software for both fixed effects model and random effects model.
    Results: Our analysis included 3 short-term (within 1 month) observational studies and 1 RCT involving 142 patients. We found that urapidil significantly improved the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS, MD=-5.57, 95%CI: -7.98~-3.16,P<0.00001), nocturia(MD=-0.7, 95%CI: -1.16~-0.24,P=0.003), residual urine rate(MD=-6.97;95%CI: -12.57~-1.37,P=0.01), average flow rate(MD=2.04;95%CI: 0.52~3.56,P=0.008), and maximum flow rate (MD=4.29;95%CI: 0.58~8.01,P=0.02)of patients. However, there was no significant difference in the residual urine volume(MD=-35.93;95%CI: -78.62~6.76,P=0.10)between pre-treatment and post-treatment groups.
    Conclusion: Urapidil is an effective medication for relieving LUTS in BPH patients. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of current RCT studies, high-quality and large-scale RCT studies are still needed to further confirm this conclusion.

    Abstract Background: Data regarding critical care for patients with severe Covid-19 are limited. We aimed to describe the clinical course and critical care implemented for this patient population at the provincial level in Sichuan, China. Methods: In this population-based multicenter cohort study, conducted from January 16 to March 15, 2020, all microbiologically confirmed Covid-19 patients who met the national severe or critical criteria were included and followed-up until discharge, death, or the end of the study. Results: Out of 539 confirmed Covid-19 patients, 81 severe cases (15.0%) were identified. The median (IQR) age was 50 (39-65) years, 37% were female, and 53.1% had chronic comorbidities. Among the five predefined criteria for severe illness, low PaO2:FiO2 ratio (<300 mmHg), low pulse oxygen saturation (≤93%), and dyspnea were the most commonly reported, accounting for 87.7%, 66.7% and 27.2% of the severe cases, respectively. The median period from the onset of symptoms to the first hospitalization was 3 (1-6) days. Seventy-seven patients (95.06%) were admitted to hospitals being able to provide critical care by day 1. By day 28, 53 (65.4%) were discharged, 3 (3.7%) were deceased, and 25 (30.9%) were still hospitalized. Conventional oxygen therapy, administered to 95.1% of the patients, was the most commonly used respiratory support and met 62.7% of the respiratory support needed, followed by high-flow nasal cannula (19.5%) and noninvasive mechanical ventilation (10%). Conclusions: Early identification, hospitalization, and provision of critical care to severe Covid-19 patients may improve prognosis. Sufficient conventional oxygen equipment should be prioritized and implemented without delay.

    Abstract Scenario endows a product with meanings. It has become the key to win the competition to design a product according to specific usage scene. Traditional scenario identification and product feature association methods have disadvantages such as subjectivity, high cost, coarse granularity, and limited scenario can be identified. In this regard, we propose a BERT-based scenario-feature identification model to effectively extract the information about users' experience and usage scene from online reviews. First, the scenario-feature identification framework is proposed to depict the whole identification process. Then, the BERT-based scene-sentence recognition model is constructed. The Skip-gram and word vector similarity methods are used to construct the scene and feature lexicon. Finally, the triad is constructed through the analysis of scene-feature co-occurrence matrix, which realizes the association of scenario and product features. This proposed model is of great practical value for product developers to better understand customer's requirements in specific scenarios. The experiments of scenario-feature identification from the reviews of Pacific Auto verifies the effectiveness of this method.

    Abstract Visual deprivation leads to structural neuroplasticity in the blind subjects, including gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) atrophy and alterations in structural connectivity. The rat model of binocular enucleation (BE) is a frequently used animal model for studying brain plasticity induced by early blindness. Yet few neuroimaging studies have been performed on this model to investigate whether or not the BE rats have image phenotypes similar to or comparable to, those observed in the early blind subjects. The current study aimed to assess brain structural plasticity in BE rats using anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The results demonstrated that early BE at postnatal day 4 (P4) caused almost complete degeneration of optic nerve (ON) and optic chiasma (OCH), atrophy in a number of visual and non-visual structures, including optic tract (OT), dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (DLG) and corpus callosum (CC). The BE rats also exhibited impairments of WM microstructural integrity in the OT, and reduction of structural connectivity between the normal-appearing visual cortex (VC) and somatosensory/motor cortices at 4 months of age, likely as manifestations of deafferentation-induced maldevelopment. The structural neuroplasticity in BE rats observable to structural MRI parallels largely with what has been reported in blind subjects, suggesting that longitudinal neuroimaging studies on animal models of sensory deprivation can provide insights into how the brain changes its wiring and function during development/adaption in response to the lack of sensory stimuli.

    Abstract ABSTRACTBrassinosteroid (BR) is a hormone known for its crucial role in seed germination promotion. However, there is a limited understanding of potential application in tobacco seed. In this study, we investigated various active ingredients for seed coating to enhance tobacco seed germination. It revealed that seed coating with 0.0500 ppm BR and priming with 0.01 ppm BR significantly increased seed germination rates, especially in low-temperature conditions. In addition, the combined use BR with priming and seed coating exhibited a substantial improvement in seed germination rates and promoted seedling growth. Through transcriptional analysis, it found that BR treatment regulates the expression of genes associated with DNA synthesis, cell wall organization and glucan metabolic process involved in seed dormancy and seedling growth. Overall, these results provide valuable insights into the utilization of seed coating and priming techniques, particularly with the inclusion of BR, to enhance tobacco seed germination and facilitate seedling emergence.

    Abstract Conductive anticorrosive coatings were prepared by using Eucommia Ulmoides gum(EUG)and epoxy resin (E-51) as matrix and carbon nanotubes (CNT) as conductive filler. The effects of EUG amount on corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of the coating were investigated. The thermal properties of the composite coating were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic thermomechanical, and the conductivity of the composite coating was tested by a four-probe tester, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, salt spray test and adhesion were used to characterize the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the composite coating. The results showed that when the EUG amount was 8 phr, the conductivity of the coating film of the conductive anticorrosive coating prepared by this method reached 0.083 s/cm, and the electrochemical impedance was about 9×107 Ω·cm2. EUG had good compatibility with E-51, and the addition of EUG could improve the corrosion resistance and conductivity of the coating.
