    Abstract The research on the attenuation law of blasting vibration has become the foundation and precondition of the effective control of blasting vibration damage. Aiming at the characteristics of low frequency, low velocity, and strong amplitude of the R wave, an improved wave component separation method based on R wave suppression is proposed. Combined with the measured vibration signals of a field test, the attenuation parameters of different types of waves in the propagation process of blasting seismic waves are studied. The analysis results show that, in the process of blasting seismic wave propagation, the attenuation parameters of different types of waves are significantly different. With an increase in propagation distance, the proportion of the different types of waves will also change. The study of attenuation law with only coupled particle peak vibration velocity often showed high discreteness. The fitting correlation coefficient and prediction accuracy of peak vibration velocity without distinguishing wave modes are lower than those induced by the P wave or R wave alone, which should be attributed to the conversion of dominant wave modes in blasting vibration at different distances.

    Abstract Purpose: A growing number of publications have paid close attention to the chest computed tomography (CT) detection of COVID-19 with inconsistent diagnostic accuracy, the present meta-analysis assessed the available evidence regarding the overall performance of chest CT for COVID-19.
    Methods: 2 × 2 diagnostic table was extracted from each of the included studies. Data on specificity (SPE), sensitivity (SEN), negative likelihood ratio (LR-), positive likelihood ratio (LR+), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated purposefully.
    Results: Fifteen COVID-19 related publications met our inclusion criteria and were judged qualified for the meta-analysis. The following were summary estimates for diagnostic parameters of chest CT for COVID-19: SPE, 0.49 (95% CI 46-52%); SEN, 0.94 (95% CI 93-95%); LR-, 0.15 (95% CI 11-20%); LR+, 1.93 (95% CI 145-256%); DOR, 17.14 (95% CI 918-3199%); and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), 0.93.
    Conclusion: Chest CT has high SEN, but the SPE is not ideal. It is highly recommended to use a combination of different diagnostic tools to achieve sufficient SEN and SPE. It should be taken into account as a diagnostic tool for current COVID-19 detection, especially for patients with symptoms.

    Abstract Background: Growing up on traditional farms protects children from the development of asthma and allergies. However, we have identified distinct asthma-protective factors, such as poultry exposure. This study aims to examine the biological effect of rural exposure in China.
    Methods: We recruited 67 rural children (7.4 ± 0.9 years) and 79 urban children (6.8 ± 0.6 years). Depending on the personal history of exposure to domestic poultry (DP), rural children were further divided into those with DP exposure (DP
    Results: There was a stepwise increase in the percentage of eosinophils (%) from rural DP
    Conclusions: Immune responses of rural children were dampened compared to urban children and those exposed to DP had further downregulated immune responsiveness. DP dust extracts ameliorated Th2-driven allergic airway inflammation in mice. Determining active protective components in the rural environment may provide directions for the development of primary prevention of asthma.

    Abstract Background: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease. Compared with other subtypes of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is easy to metastasize and has a short survival time, less choice of treatment options. Here, we aimed to identify the potential biomarkers to TNBC diagnosis and prognosis.
    Material/methods: Three independent data sets (GSE45827, GSE38959, GSE65194) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The R software packages were used to integrate the gene profiles and identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A variety of bioinformatics tools were used to explore the hub genes, including the DAVID database, STRING database and Cytoscape software. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to verify the hub genes in 14 pairs of TNBC paired tissues.
    Results: In this study, we screened out 161 DEGs between 222 non-TNBC and 126 TNBC samples, of which 105 genes were up-regulated and 56 were down-regulated. These DEGs were enriched for 27 GO terms and two pathways. GO analysis enriched mainly in "cell division", "chromosome, centromeric region" and "microtubule motor activity". KEGG pathway analysis enriched mostly in "Cell cycle" and "Oocyte meiosis". PPI network was constructed and then 10 top hub genes were screened. According to the analysis results of the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, the expression levels of only NUF2, FAM83D and CENPH were associated with the recurrence-free survival in TNBC samples (
    Conclusions: The comprehensive analysis showed that NUF2 and FAM83D could be used as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of TNBC.

    Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a devastating impact worldwide, and timely detection and quarantine of infected patients are critical to prevent spread of disease. Serological antibody testing is an important diagnostic method used increasingly in clinics, although its clinical application is still under investigation.
    Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to compare the diagnostic performance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 antibody tests in patients with COVID-19. The test results analysed included: (1) IgM-positive but IgG-negative (IgM
    Results: Sixty-eight studies were included. Pooled sensitivities for IgM
    Discussion: These findings support the supplemental role of serological antibody tests in the diagnosis of COVID-19. However, their capacity to diagnose COVID-19 early in the disease course could be limited.

    Abstract Dead time estimation is important in the design process of quartz flexure accelerometers. However, to the authors' knowledge, the dead time existing in quartz flexure accelerometers is not well investigated in conventional identification studies. In this paper, the dead time, together with the open-loop transfer function of quartz flexure accelerometers, is identified from step excitation experiments using two steps. Firstly, a monotonicity number was proposed to estimate the dead time. Analysis showed that the monotonicity number was robust enough to measurement noise and sensitive to step excitation. Secondly, parameters of the open-loop transfer function were identified using the least mean squares algorithm. A simulation example was applied to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. The verified method was used to test a quartz flexure accelerometer. The experimental result shows that the dead time was 500 μs.
