    Abstract Background: Research has widely indicated that the psychological distress experienced by infertile patients during fertility treatments may have a negative effect on the results of assisted reproduction. Although numerous studies have shown that psychological resilience and sleep quality are important influencing factors for psychological distress, the mediating mechanisms of psychological resilience in the relationship between sleep quality and psychological distress for Chinese women in particular remain unclear. Therefore, the current study investigates the association between sleep quality, resilience, and psychological distress in Chinese women with infertility and examines the mediating and moderating roles of resilience on the relationship between sleep quality and psychological distress.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 595 women with infertility who were undergoing IVF-ET were recruited at the Reproductive Medicine, Shandong University, from April to November 2019. Participants were instructed to complete four questionnaires, including a questionnaire about socio-demographic and clinical-related information, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), and the Kessler-10 (K10). Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted preliminarily to describe the relationships between sleep quality, resilience, and psychological distress. A mediation model and a moderated model were constructed and analyzed using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. The Johnson-Neyman (J-N) technique was then used to identify the regions of significance across the levels of moderator values.
    Results: Patients in the sample had a high prevalence of psychological distress (48.6%, K10 scores > 22), and mediation analysis indicated that resilience played a partially mediating role in the relationship between sleep quality and psychological distress (indict effect = 0.072, P < 0.001). Moderation analysis indicated that resilience also moderated the association between sleep quality and psychological distress.
    Conclusions: Resilience may play a key role in the relationship between sleep quality and psychological distress. Our findings imply that resilience training may therefore be an effective component of psychological distress intervention in women with infertility.

    Abstract In this work, by capitalizing on the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods, it has been systematically studied that the excited state double intramolecular proton transfer (ESDPT) process and the photophysical properties of 1,8-dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (DHNA) are affected by the distinct external electric fields (EEFs). The obtained intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) parameters containing bond lengths and angles, as well as infrared (IR) vibrational spectra demonstrate that IHB strength changes in the distinct EEFs. Moreover, not only do the potential energy surfaces (PESs) indicate that the ESDPT process of DHNA is stepwise, but also increasing the positive EEF results in a decrease in the energy barrier accordingly, while

    Abstract Multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) with expensive constraints pose stiff challenges to existing surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs) in a very limited computational cost, due to the fact that the number of expensive constraints for an MOP is often large. For existing SAEAs, they always approximate constraint functions in a single granularity, namely, approximating the constraint violation (CV, coarse-grained) or each constraint (fine-grained). However, the landscape of CV is often too complex to be accurately approximated by a surrogate model. Although the modeling of each constraint function may be simpler than that of CV, approximating all the constraint functions independently may result in tremendous cumulative errors and high computational costs. To address this issue, in this article, we develop a multigranularity surrogate modeling framework for evolutionary algorithms (EAs), where the approximation granularity of constraint surrogates is adaptively determined by the position of the population in the fitness landscape. Moreover, a dedicated model management strategy is also developed to reduce the impact resulting from the errors introduced by constraint surrogates and prevent the population from trapping into local optima. To evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, an implementation called K-MGSAEA is proposed, and the experimental results on a large number of test problems show that the proposed framework is superior to seven state-of-the-art competitors.

    Abstract Molecular optimization, which aims to improve molecular properties by modifying complex molecular structures, is a crucial and challenging task in drug discovery. In recent years, translation models provide a promising way to transform low-property molecules to high-property molecules, which enables molecular optimization to achieve remarkable progress. However, most existing models require matched molecular pairs, which are prone to be limited by the datasets. Although some models do not require matched molecular pairs, their performance is usually sacrificed due to the lack of useful supervising information. To address this issue, a domain-label-guided translation model is proposed in this paper, namely DLTM. In the model, the domain label information of molecules is exploited as a control condition to obtain different embedding representations, enabling the model to generate diverse molecules. Besides, the model adopts a classifier network to identify the property categories of transformed molecules, guiding the model to generate molecules with desired properties. The performance of DLTM is verified on two optimization tasks, namely the quantitative estimation of drug-likeness and penalized logP. Experimental results show that the proposed DLTM is superior to the compared baseline models.

    Abstract Background: Tracheobronchial schwannomas are extremely rare, which account for lower than 0.2% in all pulmonary tumors. In large part because of the rarity and insufficient reported clinical details, tracheobronchial schwannoma lacks guidelines or expert consensus for diagnosis and treatment, and the delay in diagnosis can range from months to years. The main treatment option is surgery. Endoscopic intervention can also be selected. An increasing number of thoracic surgery cases were performed on the robotic platforms in recent years. With their assistance, surgeons can accomplish the high technique required surgical procedures with ease.
    Case description: In this case, a 48-year-old female had a history of shortness of breath for more than 1 year. The chest computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy examination revealed a new growth of nodule in the left main bronchus. The nodule was considered a schwannoma by transbronchial biopsy, which was removed by robot-assisted bronchial resection with primary anastomosis. The application of Da Vinci Si robotic surgical system benefited the process of this surgery. Pathology and immunohistochemistry results confirmed the diagnosis of schwannomas. The patient tolerated the treatment without any complications. No sign of recurrence was discovered at present, 6 months after the intervention.
    Conclusions: We reported the first sleeve resection for bronchial schwannoma using Da Vinci robotic surgical system. The clinical details of tracheobronchial schwannoma should be revealed more specifically to achieve more systematic diagnosis and treatment.
