    Abstract Although neural networks can solve very complex machine-learning problems, the theoretical reason for their generalizability is still not fully understood. Here we use Wang-Landau Mote Carlo algorithm to calculate the entropy (logarithm of the volume of a part of the parameter space) at a given test accuracy, and a given training loss function value or training accuracy. Our results show that entropical forces help generalizability. Although our study is on a very simple application of neural networks (a spiral dataset and a small, fully-connected neural network), our approach should be useful in explaining the generalizability of more complicated neural networks in future works.

    Abstract The photocatalytic cementitious materials (PCM) are expected to alleviate air pollution due to the direct utilization of natural solar energy. However, the color properties of cementitious materials have significant effect on the photocatalytic performance of PCM. In the present study, the colorful PCM is prepared using various colorants. The effect of color properties of cementitious materials on the NOx removal capacity of PCM is researched, and the related mechanism is analyzed by optical analysis. Furthermore, the effect of colorants on the compressive strength of PCM is studied. Results showed that the NOx removal capacity of PCM is decreased by the presence of colorants. As the 5% of black, yellow, red, and blue colorants are used, the NOx removal capacity of PCM is reduced by 73%, 48%, 21%, and 19%, respectively. Both the nano-TiO

    Abstract Background: Platelet (PLT) count is one of the most important parameters of automated hematology, as spurious PLT reports could affect medical judgement and bring significant risks. In most cases, spurious PLT will not be reported for review criteria, which will be triggered by abnormal PLT histograms and PLT flag(s). Here, we present a case of severe aplastic anemia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with spurious high platelet count with normal histogram and no PLT flag(s).
    Methods: The electrical impedance channel (PLT-I) and the fluorescence channel (PLT-F) of Sysmex XN-series hematology analyzer was used to obtain PLT results. Then, the sample was retested by another hematology analyzer MINDRAY BC-7500 [NR] CRP, and incubation was performed to rule out cryoglobulin interference. Furthermore, a microscope was used to estimate the PLT count by the ratio of platelets to red blood cells and observe the morphology of cells.
    Results: Both PLT-I and PLT-F test results were spuriously high, and microscopically assessed platelet counts were relatively reliable. The observed spiny cells and ghost cells caused by hemolysis may have contributed to the inaccuracy of instrumental counting in this case.
    Conclusions: For special hematologic patients, PLT-I with flags may not be sufficient for screening purposes and PLT-F is not always accurate. Multiple testing methods including manual microscopy are needed.

    Abstract Background: Huaier granule is an important medicinal fungus extract widely used in cancer treatment. Previous retrospective studies have reported its effectiveness in breast cancer patients, but the imbalanced baseline characteristics of participants could have biased the results. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to examine the efficacy of Huaier granule on the prognosis of breast cancer patients.
    Methods: In this single-center cohort study, breast cancer patients diagnosed and treated at the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine between 2009 and 2017 were selected. The data were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups according to whether the patients received Huaier granules. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to eliminate selection bias. The disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for these groups were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox regression.
    Results: This study included 214 early invasive breast cancer patients, 107 in the Huaier group and 107 in the control group. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the 2-year and 5-year DFS rates were significantly different in the Huaier group and control group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.495; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.257-0.953; P = 0.023). The 2-year and 5-year OS rates were also significantly different (HR, 0.308; 95% CI, 0.148-0.644; P = 0.001). On multivariable Cox regression, Huaier granule was associated with improved DFS (HR, 0.440; 95% CI, 0.223-0.868; P = 0.018) and OS (HR, 0.236; 95% CI, 0.103-0.540; P = 0.001).
    Conclusion: In this retrospective study, Huaier granules improved the DFS and OS of early invasive breast cancer patients, providing real-world evidence for further prospective studies on treating breast cancer with Huaier granules.

    Abstract Glioma is one of the most common and difficult to cure malignant primary tumors of the central nervous system. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) has been reported to play important functions in biological processes of many tumors, including glioma. In our study, we aimed to reveal the role and molecular mechanisms of lncRNA COX10-AS1 in regulating the progression of glioma. First of all, we showed that lncRNA COX10-AS1 was significantly increased in glioma tissues and cell lines, and high-expressed COX10-AS1 was associated with a poor prognosis in glioma patients. Moreover, through performing the functional experiments, including CCK-8, colony formation and Transwell assays, we confirmed that COX10-AS1 ablation curbed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in glioblastoma (GBM) cells. In addition, we uncovered that there existed a regulatory relationship that COX10-AS1 upregulated OCR6 by sponging miR-1-3p in GBM cells, and the following rescue assays demonstrated that both miR-1-3p downregulation and origin recognition complex subunit 6 (ORC6) overexpression rescued cell viability, migration and invasion in the COX10-AS1-deficient GBM cells. Consistently, we also verified that COX10-AS1 promoted tumorigenesis of the GBM cells in vivo through modulating the miR-1-3p/ORC6 axis. On the whole, our findings indicated a novel ceRNA pattern in which COX10-AS1 elevated OCR6 expression via sponging miR-1-3p, therefore boosting tumorigenesis in glioma, and we firstly discussed the underlying mechanisms by which the COX10-AS1/miR-1-3p/ORC6 axis affected the progression of glioma.

    Abstract This study aimed to explore the interplay between physical activity, self-efficacy, stress self-management and mental health among adolescents. The study gathered data from an online survey conducted among 400 Chinese middle school students (mean age = 13.74 years). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and PROCESS 4.1. The findings indicated a positive and significant relationship between physical activity, self-efficacy, stress self-management, and mental health. Notably, the association between physical activity and mental health was entirely mediated by self-efficacy and stress self-management. Moreover, self-efficacy and stress self-management exhibited a chain mediation effect on the relationship between physical activity and mental health. It is suggested that interventions focusing on physical activity should prioritize strategies for enhancing students' self-efficacy and stress self-management skills as integral components of promoting adolescents' mental health. Future research should delve into identifying specific types of physical activities that have a greater potential to enhance self-efficacy and stress self-management abilities.
