    Abstract Objective: To investigate the enrichment of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) in adenoma tissue of patients with colorectal adenoma, and analyze the correlation between the enrichment and the clinical and pathological characteristics of colorectal adenoma.
    Methods: The data of 1,622 patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy in the Endoscopy Center of Wenzhou Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected. The general data, gastric Hp infection, clinical and pathological features of colorectal adenoma, methylene blue staining of adenoma Hp, immunohistochemistry of adenoma Hp and immunofluorescence staining of adenoma TLR5 protein. were compared between the colorectal adenoma group (743 cases) and the control group (879 cases).
    Results: There were 361 gastric Hp positive cases in the colorectal adenoma group, with a positive rate of 48.59%, and 331 gastric Hp positive cases in the control group, with a positive rate of 37.66%, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Gastric Hp infection significantly correlates with the Hp enrichment in colorectal adenomas (OR: 28.449; 95%CI: 18.188-44.500; P < 0.001). Moreover, we found that Hp enrichment in colorectal adenomas was correlated with the diameter, pathological type, and malignancy of adenoma (OR: 3.536; 3.652; 2.833; all P < 0.001). Expression TLR5 protein was also increased in Hp-enriched adenoma tissue.
    Conclusion: There is a correlation between gastric Hp infection and intestinal Hp enrichment. The intestinal Hp enrichment significantly correlates with the clinical and pathological characteristics of colorectal adenomas, and its tumor-promoting effect may be related to the up-regulation of mucosal TLR5 expression.

    Abstract With the rapid development of digital platforms, users can now interact in endless ways from writing business reviews and comments to sharing information with their friends and followers. As a result, organizations have numerous digital social networks available for graph learning problems with little guidance on how to select the right graph or how to combine multiple edge types. In this paper, we first describe the types of user-to-user networks available across the Facebook (FB) and Instagram (IG) platforms. We observe minimal edge overlap between these networks, indicating users are exhibiting different behaviors and interaction patterns between platforms. We then compare predictive performance metrics across various node attribute prediction tasks for an ads click prediction task on Facebook and for a publicly available dataset from the Open Graph Benchmark. We adapt an existing node attribute prediction method for binary prediction, LINK-Naive Bayes, to account for both edge direction and weights on single-layer networks. We observe meaningful predictive performance gains when incorporating edge direction and weight. We then introduce an approach called MultiLayerLINK-NaiveBayes that can combine multiple network layers during training and observe superior performance over the single-layer results. Ultimately, whether edge direction, edge weights, and multi-layers are practically useful will depend on the particular setting. Our approach enables practitioners to quickly combine multiple layers and additional edge information such as direction or weight.

    Abstract Cyanobacteria blooms in aquaculture ponds harm the harvesting of aquatic animals and threaten human health. Therefore, it is crucial to identify key drivers and develop methods to predict cyanobacteria blooms in aquaculture water management. In this study, we analyzed monitoring data from 331 aquaculture ponds in central China and developed two machine learning models - the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model and the random forest (RF) model - to predict cyanobacterial abundance by identifying the key drivers. Simulation results demonstrated that both machine learning models are feasible for predicting cyanobacterial abundance in aquaculture ponds. The LASSO model (R

    Abstract In networks with a minority and a majority community, it is well-studied that minorities are under-represented at the top of the social hierarchy. However, researchers are less clear about the representation of minorities from the lower levels of the hierarchy, where other disadvantages or vulnerabilities may exist. We offer a more complete picture of social disparities at each social level with empirical evidence that the minority representation exhibits two opposite phases: at the higher rungs of the social ladder, the representation of the minority community decreases; but, lower in the ladder, which is more populous, as you ascend, the representation of the minority community improves. We refer to this opposing phenomenon between the upper-level and lower-level as the \emph{chasm effect}. Previous models of network growth with homophily fail to detect and explain the presence of this chasm effect. We analyze the interactions among a few well-observed network-growing mechanisms with a simple model to reveal the sufficient and necessary conditions for both phases in the chasm effect to occur. By generalizing the simple model naturally, we present a complete bi-affiliation bipartite network-growth model that could successfully capture disparities at all social levels and reproduce real social networks. Finally, we illustrate that addressing the chasm effect can create fairer systems with two applications in advertisement and fact-checks, thereby demonstrating the potential impact of the chasm effect on the future research of minority-majority disparities and fair algorithms.

    Abstract Dynamic laser speckles contain motion information of scattering particles which can be estimated by laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA). In this work, an entropy-based method was proposed to provide a more robust estimation of motion speed. An in vitro flow simulation experiment confirmed a simple linear relation between entropy, exposure time, and speed. A multimodality optical imaging setup is developed to validate the advantages of the entropy method based on laser speckle imaging, green light imaging, and fluorescence imaging. The entropy method overcomes traditional LASCA with less noisy interference, and extracts more visible and detailed vasculatures in vivo. Furthermore, the entropy method provides a more accurate estimation and a stable pattern of blood flow activations in the rat's somatosensory area under multitrial hand paw stimulations.

    Abstract Chronically monitoring cerebral activities in awake and freely moving status is very important in physiological and pathological studies. We present a novel standalone micro-imager for monitoring the cerebral blood flow (CBF) and total hemoglobin (HbT) activities in freely moving animals using the laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) and optical intrinsic signal (OIS) methods. A new cranial window method, using contact lens and wide field optics, is also proposed to achieve the chronic and wide-field imaging of rat's cerebral cortex. The hemodynamic activities of rats' cortex were measured for the first time without restriction of cables or fibers in awake and behaving animals. Chronic imaging showed the increase of CBF and HbT in motor cortex when the rats were climbing on the cage wall. Interestingly, the CBF activation of supplying vessel was smaller than that of parenchyma. Furthermore, after the climbing, CBF demonstrated fully return to the baseline while HbT showed a delayed recovery. The standalone micro-imager technology provides new possibilities of brain imaging in cognitive neuroscience studies.
