    Abstract The vulnerable road users (VRUs), being small and exhibiting random movements, increase the difficulty of object detection of the autonomous emergency braking system for vulnerable road users AEBS-VRUs, with their behaviors highly random. To overcome existing problems of AEBS-VRU object detection, an enhanced YOLOv5 algorithm is proposed. While the Complete Intersection over Union-Loss (CIoU-Loss) and Distance Intersection over Union-Non-Maximum Suppression (DIoU-NMS) are fused to improve the model's convergent speed, the algorithm also incorporates a minor object detection layer to increase the performance of VRU detection. A dataset for complex AEBS-VRUS scenarios is established based on existing datasets such as Caltech, nuScenes, and Penn-Fudan, and the model is trained using migration learning based on the PyTorch framework. A number of comparative experiments using models such as YOLOv6, YOLOv7, YOLOv8 and YOLOx are carried out. The results of the comparative evaluation show that the proposed improved YOLO5 algorithm has the best overall performance in terms of efficiency, accuracy and timeliness of target detection.

    Abstract Environmental pollution by emerging contaminants has become an urgent problem. Herein, novel binary metal-organic framework hybrids were constructed from Materials of Institute Lavoisier-53(Fe) (MIL-53(Fe)) and zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) for the first time. A battery of characterizations were employed to determine the MIL/ZIF hybrids' properties and morphology. Furthermore, the MIL/ZIF towards toxic antibiotics (tetracycline, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin) were studied to explore their adsorption abilities. The present work disclosed that the obtained MIL-53(Fe)/ZIF-8 = 2:3 possessed an eminent specific surface area with an admirable removal efficiency of tetracycline (97.4%), ciprofloxacin (97.1%) and ofloxacin (92.4%), respectively. The tetracycline adsorption process conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and this process was more compatible with the Langmuir isotherm model with the highest adsorption capacity of 215.0 mg g

    Abstract Herdsmen's access to credit funds plays an important supporting role in promoting the modern economic development of pastoral areas and broadening the channels for herders to increase their income. This paper studies the credit behavior of herdsmen from the perspective of emotional and psychological state identification to analyze the current credit behavior of herdsmen. Firstly, the internal mechanism of herdsmen's credit and emotional and psychological identification research content are analyzed. Secondly, a scheme of emotional and psychological state identification is proposed, and a corresponding survey of herdsmen is carried out according to the scheme. Finally, the Probit and Heckman models are introduced to analyze the credit behavior of herdsmen. The results show that herdsmen with high emotional and psychological scores strongly demand credit. They are likely to have access to credit and have a high level of credit. Herdsmen with low scores of emotional and psychological characteristics have low or no apparent demand for credit, and their credit availability is also low. The herdsmen with high emotional and psychological characteristics have a 71% higher probability of generating credit demand than herdsmen with low openness. Their likelihood of obtaining credit is also 33.47% higher than herdsmen with low emotional and psychological characteristics. They also have easy access to higher loan amounts. The results provide a reference for related research and analysis of herdsman's credit behavior and economic development.

    Abstract Background: Monoclonal antibodies, as the targeted therapeutic strategies, provide huge clinical benefits for tumor patients. However, after undergoing several times treatment, patients developed drug resistance which is a major bottleneck in clinical cancer therapy. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential molecular mechanism of trastuzumab-resistant and cancer progression, and identify valuable diagnosis biomarkers for gastric cancer.
    Materials and methods: Gene expression profiles and RNA-sequencing dataset of gastric cancer were acquired from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, respectively. The Differently expressed genes (DEGs) were screened by R programing language, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were adopted separately to analyze the function and pathway of DEGs. Subsequently, Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting (STRING) and Cytoscape was performed to establish the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and to screen hub genes. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic values of the hub genes.
    Results: Integrated analysis of TCGA-STAD (Stomach adenocarcinoma) and GEO databases identified 310 common DEGs. GSEA, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis revealed several crucial enriched oncological signatures and trastuzumab-resistant signaling pathways, which may help to explain the potential modulating mechanisms of trastuzumab-resistant. Based on the PPI network, 10 hub genes were screened and five genes (GNGT1, KRT7, KRT16, SOX9, TIMP1) were identified with good performance in the diagnosis of gastric cancer by ROC analysis. Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test suggested that upregulation of KRT16 was correlated with overall survival in gastric cancer.
    Conclusion: Overall, our study identified five hub genes that may play a critical role in promoting trastuzumab-resistant in gastric cancer, and would be a promising diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker for trastuzumab-resistant gastric cancer.

    Abstract Background: The flap closed-incisions healing after 3D-printed prosthesis implantation in Chronic Osteomyelitis with Soft Tissue Defects (COSTD) is critical. This study aimed to explore the safety and effectiveness of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) in promoting flap closed-incisions healing.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical data was performed, including baseline, surgical and hospitalization information. The efficacy of NPWT was assessed by comparing the ASEPSIS scores, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADLS), and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), as well as the major postoperative complications.
    Results: The study included 20 patients, 13 received conventional dressing (Control group) and 7 received NPWT treatment (NPWT group). These two groups exhibited a notable disparity in the distribution of ASEPSIS scores, and the median scores were 24 in Control group and 9 in NPWT group (p = 0.001). Eight patients in the Control group experienced major incisional complications, including 7 cases of exudation, 3 cases of infection, 2 cases of non-healing, and 1 case of dehiscence, while none were observed in the NPWT group (p = 0.015). The VAS, ADLS, and LEFS scores were significantly improved in the NPWT group compared to the Control group (p = 0.003, 0.017, and 0.043, respectively).
    Conclusions: The study findings suggest that NPWT applied to the healing process of flap closed-incisions after 3D prosthesis implantation in patients with COSTD can reduce the occurrence of postoperative major complications and promote the recovery of lower limb function and daily activities, which should be recommended for clinical practice.

    Abstract To investigate whether human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes combined with gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel are beneficial in promoting healing of laser-injured skin wounds in mice. Supernatants of cultured human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) were collected to obtain human umbilical cord MSC-derived exosomes (HUC-MSCs-Exos), which were combined with GelMA hydrogel complex to treat a mouse fractional laser injury model. The study was divided into PBS group, EX (HUC-MSCs-Exos) group, GEL (GelMA hydrogel) group and EX+GEL (HUC-MSCs-Exos combined with GelMA hydrogel) group. The healing of laser-injured skin in each group was observed by gross view and dermatoscopy, and changes in skin structure, angiogenesis and proliferation-related indexes were observed during the healing process of laser-injured skin in each group. The results of the animal experiments showed that the EX and GEL groups alone and the EL+EX group exhibited less inflammatory response compared to the PBS group. The EX and GEL groups showed marked tissue proliferation and favourable angiogenesis, which promoted the wound healing well. The GEL+EX group had the most significant promotion of wound healing compared to the PBS group. qPCR results showed that the expression levels of proliferation-related factors, including KI67 and VEGF and angiogenesis-related factor CD31, were significantly higher in the GEL+EX group than in the other groups, with a time-dependent effect. The combination of HUC-MSCs-Exos and GelMA hydrogel is beneficial in reducing the early inflammatory response of laser-injured skin in mice and promoting its proliferation and angiogenesis, which in turn promotes wound healing.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether incorporating qualitative parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can increase the accuracy of adnexal lesion assessments with Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) ultrasound category 4 or 5.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with adnexal masses who underwent conventional ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) examinations between January and August of 2020. The study investigators reviewed and analyzed the morphological features of each mass before categorizing the US images independently according to the O-RADS system published by the American College of Radiology. In the CEUS analysis, the initial time and intensity of enhancement involving the wall and/or septation of the mass were compared with the uterine myometrium. Internal components of each mass were observed for signs of enhancement. The sensitivity, specificity, and Youden's index were calculated as the contrast variables and O-RADS.
    Results: Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the best cutoff value was higher than O-RADS 4. When information on the extent of enhancement was applied to selectively upgrade O-RADS category 4 and selectively downgrade O-RADS category 5, the overall sensitivity increased to 90.2%, while the level of specificity (91.3%) remained the same.
    Conclusion: Incorporating additional information from CEUS with respect to the extent of enhancement helped to improve the sensitivity of O-RADS category 4 and 5 masses without loss of specificity.
