    Abstract Adenoviral pneumonia is one of the more serious types of community-acquired pneumonia in children. It easily develops into severe pneumonia with many extrapulmonary complications and a high mortality rate. However, there is still no effective treatment for adenovirus. Therapeutic drugs are conducive to clinical treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine often achieves satisfactory results through staged syndrome differentiation. Currently, heat, sputum, stasis, and poison are considered to be the main pathological products. Fever, phlegm, and stasis are present in its development. Analyze the progress of traditional Chinese and western medicine in children's adenoviral pneumonia, and have a clearer understanding of the law of syndrome differentiation and its prescription medication, providing ideas for clinical treatment of adenoviral pneumonia.

    Abstract Summary: Neighborhood physical disorder (PD), characterized by disruptions and irregularities in spatial elements, is associated with negative economic, social, and public health outcomes. Here, we present a protocol to quantitatively assess PD utilizing a range of metrics. We describe steps for collecting street views, constructing detection models using the YOLOv8 deep learning model, calculating PD scores, and quantifying changes in PD across streets and cites. This protocol serves as a methodological foundation for assessing PD in different countries and regions.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Chen et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.

    Abstract Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostrate hyperplasia (BPH) are common geriatric diseases, and its incidence rises with age. The treatment of BPH and LUTS is becoming a burden for health care. The meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy (tamsulosin plus tadalafil) compared with tamsulosin alone in treatment of males with LUTS/BPH. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were utilized to conduct this study. There were several databases available for literature retrieval, including Medline, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science databases, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. To improve the comprehensiveness of the search, related references were also searched. Finally, six randomized controlled trials including 441 patients were included. The combination therapy had significant improvements in total International Prostate Symptom Score ( p < .0001), quality of life score ( p = .003), maximum urine flow rate ( p < .00001), and International Index of Erectile Function ( p < .00001) compared with the tamsulosin monotherapy, but there was no obvious difference in postvoid residual volume ( p = .06). In terms of safety, the combination group had comparable rates of discontinuation due to adverse events ( p = .19) than the monotherapy group except for pain symptoms ( p < .0001). The combination of tamsulosin and tadalafil provided a preferable therapeutic effect compared with the tamsulosin alone in treating males with BPH/LUTS, and both therapy regimens were well tolerated by the patients.

    Abstract This research focuses on the practice of contextualization in teaching Chinese as a foreign language among a cohort of bilingual language teacher-researchers. It aims to extend the prevalent emphasis in the current literature that acknowledges the role of context in language education; however, these research studies primarily give voice to linguistic contexts or relegates context into a static physical space such as ‘environment’. This research is grounded in a social constructionism perspective whereby context is regarded as a dynamic relation-building process, or more accurately, a contextualizing process, enabled through various sociocultural activities. The data reveal that the teacher-researchers employed various forms of contextualization in teaching and linked these to particular teaching content through identifiable, purposeful activities, resulting in a variety of students’ responses. This research provides an evidence-based understanding of contextualization in CFL teaching for a more sustainable second language education.

    Abstract Evaluating the importance of nodes in coal transportation networks and identifying influential nodes is a crucial study in the field of network science, vital for ensuring the stable operation of such complex networks. However, most existing studies focus on the performance analysis of single-medium networks, lacking research on combined transportation, which is not applicable to China’s coal transportation model. To address this issue, this paper first establishes a static topological structure of China’s coal-iron-water combined transportation network based on complex network theory, constructing a node importance evaluation index system through four centrality indicators. Subsequently, an enhanced TOPSIS method (GRE-TOPSIS) is proposed based on the Grey Relational Entropy Weight (GRE) to identify key nodes in the complex network from local and positional information dimensions. Compared to previous studies, this research emphasizes composite networks, breaking through the limitations of single-medium network research, and combines gray relational analysis with entropy weighting, enhancing the objectivity of the TOPSIS method. In the simulation section of this paper, we establish the model of China’s coal-iron-water combined transportation network and use the algorithm to comprehensively rank and identify key nodes in 84 nodes, verifying its performance. Network efficiency and three other parameters are used as measures of network performance. Through simulated deliberate and random attacks on the network, the changing trends in network performance are analyzed. The results show that in random attacks, the performance drops to around 50% after damaging nearly 40 ordinary nodes. In contrast, targeting close to 16 key nodes in deliberate attacks achieves a similar effect. Once key nodes are well protected, the network exhibits a certain resistance to damage.

    Abstract Based on the combined technology of thermogravimetric analysis-mass spectrometry (TG-MS), the non isothermal kinetic of two low rank coals with high hydrogen content and the release characteristics of H 2 in volatiles were explored. The effect of coal species and coal particle size on pyrolysis was studied. The CR (Coats-Redfern) method and the DAEM (Distributed activation energy model) method were used to construct the pyrolysis kinetic model by dividing temperature stages, and the results showed that the mechanisms of pyrolysis process of lower rank coals were mainly 3-D diffusion (G-B) and Growth of nucleation (Avrami-Erofeev, n = 1/3). The use of the DAEM method made up for the shortcomings of the CR method in calculating the activation energy, and the analysis of coal pyrolysis kinetics was more comprehensive. The higher the volatile content the coal contained, the lower activation energy the pyrolysis process would require. The larger the particle size of the coal was, the higher activation energy the pyrolysis process would need. The release law of H 2 in low rank coal during the pyrolysis process was analyzed by mass spectrometry, and results were presented: the first peak occurs at 500 °C and the second at 750 °C, which was mainly generated by the condensation and dehydrogenation reactions of aromatic compounds.

    Abstract The Meiyu season is a typical rainy season in East Asia that is controlled by summer monsoon. Despite extensive research on its impact, it is unclear how urbanization modifies precipitation during the Meiyu season in the background of the monsoon influence. To address this gap, this study investigated the effects of urbanization and monsoon on the modification of precipitation during the Meiyu season (PDM) in the megacity of Shanghai, China. Through homogenization analysis of the original observational data, we assessed the temporal and spatial variation in PDM in Shanghai during two stages of urbanization. Our findings revealed that both total precipitation and extreme daily precipitation during the Meiyu season in Shanghai have significantly increased since 1961. The spatial heterogeneity of PDM has also enhanced during the rapid urban process that has occurred since 1986. The long-term trend of increasing precipitation in Shanghai showed a synchronous variation with the East Asian subtropical summer monsoon (EASM) in 1961–2021. Over the interannual time scale, the significant positive correlation between PDM and EASM during the slow urbanization period (Stage 1: 1961–1985) changed to a non-significant correlation during the rapid urbanization period (Stage 2: 1986–2021), which was associated with the enhanced convective precipitation in Shanghai during the Meiyu season. Urbanization induced more convective precipitation and further weakened the association between PDM and EASM over the central city and nearby areas during Stage 2. The rapid urbanization process also resulted in increased differences in near-surface wind between urban and non-urban areas, which facilitated more PDM over the central city due to the urban friction effect and wind shear in Stage 2. Furthermore, our analysis suggests that the increase in precipitation may be associated with the enhanced coupling of cold air intrusion with the warmer climate background due to the urban heat effect occurring in Stage 2. These findings contribute to ...

    Abstract Summary: Research on the gut microbiome and related diseases is rapidly growing with the development of sequencing technologies. An increasing number of studies offer new perspectives on disease development or treatment. Among these, the mechanisms of gut microbial metabolite-mediated effects merit better understanding. In this review, we first summarize the shifts in gut microbial metabolites within complex diseases, in which metabolites have correlational and occasionally causal effects on diseases and discuss the reported mechanisms. We further investigate the interactions between gut microbes and drugs, providing insights for precision medication as well as limitations of current research. Finally, we provide new research directions and research strategies for the development of drugs from gut microbial metabolites. Funding statement: None

    Abstract In recent years, there has been increasing interest in exploring diversified features to measure small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) credit risk. Path-based features, revealing logical connections between SMEs, are widely adopted as informative feature kinds for causal inference in credit risk evaluation. Since there may exist thousands of feature paths to the target enterprise, to evaluate its credit risk, how to select the most informative path-based features becomes a challenging problem. To solve the problem, in this paper, we propose a novel method of feature selection, considering both similarity and importance on features’ structured semantics as the factors of informativeness. With this, the proposed method can effectively rank both conventional and path-based features together. Furthermore, to improve the efficiency of the method, a heuristic algorithm is proposed to fast search for the candidate features. Through extensive experiments, we show our method performs competitively with other state-of-the-art selection methods.
