    Abstract The rise of precision medicine has opened up a broad space for the development of modern medicine and has also given practical significance to the concept of personalised medicine. Precision medicine is establishing a personalized disease classification system that differs from the traditional system. However, the research progress of precision medicine in recent years is far from satisfactory: There are few disease types that can be attributed to the abnormality of a single target; the effects of current'precision' medications are not ideal, and various side effects remain unavoidable. The methodology of precision medicine is still reductionist, and it would not solve the integration problem of clinical treatment but rather would increase the difficulty of integration. Therefore, the precision medicine approach is not a feasible way to build a personalised medicine system. Based on the analysis and demonstration of the scientific limitations of precision medicine and the consistency of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and complexity science methods, this paper draws on the concepts and methods of cybernetics and complexity science, and proposes a fresh set of ideas and methods for the development of personalised medicine. The conclusion is as follows: Along the path of precision medicine, ideal personalised medicine cannot be achieved; what people ultimately need is personalised medicine that can achieve holistic integration. On the basis of TCM with the characteristics of holistic integration and personalisation, and according to scientific norms and the principle of evidence, building a theoretical model and state description system grounded in empirical evidence is the best way to establish a personalised medicine system.

    Abstract The rise of precision medicine (PM) has initiated the transition of mainstream medicine from disease-based medicine to personalized medicine, alongside which the US FDA has begun to establish a clinical trial and efficacy evaluation (CTEE) system compatible with personalized medicine based on biological markers. Outside of modern medicine, however, there has always existed a personalized medical system, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), that is, a personalized medical system built at the organism level with a similar concept and method to today's complexity science. However, under the current CTEE system, TCM has not usually been shown to be effective. The CTEE system of modern medicine has now begun to embrace personalized medicine at the microlevel. Therefore, there is no reason to continue to reject TCM, which is a type of personalized medicine at the organism level. This paper analyzes and compares the commonality and differences between a personalized medical system based on biomarkers established by PM and a personalized medical system based on syndromes in TCM; the results clearly reveal structural relationships between the two medical systems. On this basis, through rigorous logical reasoning, the feasibility of applying the CTEE method which is used in PM to evaluate the efficacy of TCM treatments is demonstrated. The relationship among biomarkers by which PM describes personalized states and modern medical diseases and the relationship among TCM syndromes and diseases are completely consistent. Because of this consistency, the new CTEE system established by the US FDA to promote the development of PM is fully applicable to the clinical trial and efficacy evaluation of TCM treatment methods. Clinical trials and efficacy evaluations based on this system can scientifically prove the effectiveness of TCM, and TCM is expected to be incorporated into the modern medical system based on scientific norms.

    Abstract In the fight against epidemic infectious diseases in the past 2,000 years, Chinese medicine (CM) has gradually developed a complete response system including diagnosis and treatment. The focal point of CM in the treatment of infectious diseases is the personalized response state to pathogen, which is a treatment method consistent with the personalized concept of precision medicine. Compared with the methods of directly killing or inactivating pathogens, which are used in modern medicine, CM is an effective treatment modality that has a wider range of points of action in the human body. The remarkable effects achieved while treating SARS in 2003 and the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and the history of the effective responses to epidemics in the past 2,000 years have fully demonstrated the effectiveness of CM in treating infectious diseases. This article discusses the different treatment mechanisms for infectious diseases in CM and modern medicine and the advantages of CM methods, which will reacquaint the world with CM. The improvement of the diagnosis and treatment system of CM based on scientific concepts and methods and the organic combination of both treatment methods of modern medicine and CM will provide the best solution for humans to defeat epidemic infectious diseases.

    Abstract The cellular endocytosis of nanoparticles (NPs) is a fundamental biological process with significant potential in biomedical applications. However, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanistic aspects of endocytosis and the impact of particle properties on this process remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the membrane-wrapping behavior of soft NPs (SNPs) with varying rigidities using theoretical calculations. Our findings reveal that the membrane-wrapping process of SNPs involves a complex energy change including the possible existence of an energy barrier; moreover, it is found that the location and height of this barrier strongly depend on the mechanistic properties of the NPs and membranes. Additionally, by considering force balance in the membrane-wrapping process, we calculated the speed at which NP is internalized by the membrane, showing a nonmonotonic dependence on particle rigidity and/or wrapping degree. These phenomena can be attributed to competition between different energy components associated with NP-membrane binding, membrane tension, and deformations occurring during SNP-membrane interaction processes. Our results contribute to a deeper understanding of cellular-level endocytosis mechanisms and offer potential applications for soft NPs in biomedicine.

    Abstract Ecosystem carbon storage (ECS) is a critical consideration in reducing the impact of global warming and tackling environmental challenges, positioning it at the forefront of contemporary research. Due to the significant differences in the influence of land usage patterns on ECS in various policy contexts and China's commitment to attaining a carbon-neutral status, a model simulating different scenarios is needed to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics and evolutionary process of carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems accurately. To address this challenge, this study established a coupling model of "Geographical analysis -Evolution analysis -Predicting (GEP)" for assessing ecosystem ECS and analyzing its spatial characteristics and evolutionary patterns and projecting the spatial distribution of ECS under various developmental scenarios, which analyzed variations in ECS across different levels of magnitude and delineated the changing areas across a range of varying scenarios in the future additionally. The outcomes suggested that the ECS decreased by 1.17 × 10

    Abstract Purpose: Postoperative hemorrhage (PPH) is a severe complication of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with a mortality rate of 5-20.2% and mortality due to hemorrhage of 11-58%. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been widely recommended for PPH, however, TAE with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) for PPH treatment has been reported rarely. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TAE with NBCA for PPH treatment following PD.
    Methods: This retrospective study included 14 male patients (mean age, 60.93 ± 10.97 years) with postoperative hemorrhage following PD treated with TAE using NBCA as the main embolic agent from October 2019 to February 2022. The clinical data, technical and success rate, and complications were analyzed.
    Results: Among the 14 patients who underwent TAE, the technical and clinical success rates were 100 and 85.71%, respectively. Angiography revealed contrast extravasation in 12 cases and a pseudoaneurysm in 3 cases. One patient developed a serious infection and died 2 days after the TAE.
    Conclusion: TAE with NBCA for PPH treatment following PD, especially for massive hemorrhage caused by a pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, or inflammatory corrosion, can result in rapid and effective hemostasis with high safety.

    Abstract Yeast is widely studied in producing biofuels and biochemicals using renewable biomass. Among various yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been particularly recognized as an important yeast cell factory. However, economic bioproduction using S. cerevisiae is challenged by harsh environments during fermentation, among which inhibitory chemicals in the culture media or toxic products are common experiences. Understanding the stress-responsive mechanisms is conducive to developing robust yeast strains. Here, we review recent progress in mechanisms underlying yeast stress response, including regulation of cell wall integrity, membrane transport, antioxidative system, and gene transcription. We highlight epigenetic regulation of stress response and summarize manipulation of yeast stress tolerance for improved bioproduction. Prospects in the application of machine learning to improve production efficiency are also discussed.

    Abstract The water temperature in the Yangtze River has been found altering over the last decades. Although these alterations are expected to occur over multiple timescales and with multiple factors, including both reservoir operation and climate change, few efforts have been made to quantify the alterations and conduct attribution analysis on multiple timescales. It hinders the deep understanding of the thermal regime in the Yangtze River and how it responses to the driving forces. Here, a multiresolution analysis based on the maximal overlap discrete wavelet analysis is applied to quantify the multi-timescale alterations of the water temperature, and to distinguish the impacts caused by reservoirs and climate change. The results indicate that the water temperature displays a significant upward trend in past three decades, which is mostly driven by the climate change. Reservoir operation has reduced the intra-annual variability of the water temperature, especially for the short-term and annual scales, resulting in a smoother and flatter water temperature process. The correlation between the water and air temperature is also investigated on multiple timescales based on the wavelet cross-correlation coefficients. It is found that the correlation between the air and water temperature in the natural state shows an overall increasing trend with the increasing timescale and peaks on annual scale. Due to the reservoir operation, the correlation on the moderate scales (1-4 months) has been notably weakened. While for the longer scales, the correlation between air and water temperature remains high, although their phases difference on some scales may be extended by months due to the reservoir operation.
