    Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent one of the most considerable global health threats, owing to their high incidence and mortality rates. Despite the ongoing advancements in detection, prevention, treatment, and prognosis of CVD, which have resulted in a decline in both incidence and mortality rates, CVD remains a major public health concern. Therefore, novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic interventions are imperative to minimise the risk of CVD. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have recently gained increasing attention, with PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) emerging as a class of small ncRNAs traditionally recognised for their role in silencing transposons within cells. Although the functional roles of PIWI proteins and piRNAs in human cells remain unclear, growing evidence suggests that these molecules are gradually becoming valuable biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of CVD. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the latest studies on piRNAs in CVD. This review discusses the roles of piRNAs in various cardiovascular subtypes, including myocardial hypertrophy, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiac regeneration. The perceived insights may contribute novel perspectives for the diagnosis and treatment of CVD.

    Abstract The receptor tyrosine kinase RET (rearranged during transfection) plays a vital role in various cell signaling pathways and is a critical factor in the development of the nervous system. Abnormal activation of the RET kinase can lead to several cancers, including thyroid cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer. However, most RET kinase inhibitors are multi-kinase inhibitors. Therefore, the development of an effective RET-specific inhibitor continues to present a significant challenge. To address this issue, we built a molecular generation model based on fragment-based drug design (FBDD) and a long short-term memory (LSTM) encoder-decoder structure to generate receptor-specific molecules with novel scaffolds. Remarkably, our model was trained with a molecular assembly accuracy of 98.4%. Leveraging the pre-trained model, we rapidly generated a RET-specific-candidate active-molecule library by transfer learning. Virtual screening based on our molecular generation model was performed, combined with molecular dynamics simulation and binding energy calculation, to discover specific RET inhibitors, and five novel molecules were selected. Further analyses indicated that two of these molecules have good binding affinities and synthesizability, exhibiting high selectivity. Overall, this investigation demonstrates the capacity of our model to generate novel receptor-specific molecules and provides a rapid method to discover potential drugs.

    Abstract Purpose: The sport-event theme songs is a crucial means to evoke consumer enthusiasm and boost the influence of sport event. This research aims to examine the effects of direct and indirect listening channels for sport-event theme songs on consumers' willingness to share.
    Methods: In this research, three between-subjects experiments were conducted to measure the effect of listening channels for sport-event theme songs on the willingness to share, along with the moderating effects of fans' fanaticism and sport-event type. All participants in the experiments were social populations from China.
    Results: Study 1 reveals that direct listening is more likely to cause consumers to share cognitive information about sport-event theme songs; indirect listening, meanwhile, makes them more willing to share the emotional value of the songs. Study 2 indicates that fans' fanaticism moderates the relationship between listening type and shared content. In the case of low fanaticism, indirect listening can increase consumers' willingness to share sport-event theme songs compared with direct listening. Study 3 reveals that sport-event type moderates the relationship between listening type and shared content. For public welfare sport events, indirect listening is more likely than direct listening to cause consumers to share the emotional value of sport-event theme songs. For commercial events, compared with indirect listening, direct listening is more likely to cause consumers to share cognitive information about sport-event theme songs.
    Conclusion: The results of this research unveiled the effect of listening channels for sport-event theme songs on the willingness to share, as well as the theoretical mechanisms behind them. In addition, this research enriches the research on listening channels in the field of psychology and provides an important basis for improving the effectiveness of sport-event theme songs.

    Abstract The modified Nishida muscle transposition procedure, in which one-third of each vertical rectus muscle belly is sutured onto the sclera in the infero- and superotemporal quadrants without either tenotomy of the vertical rectus muscles or splitting of the vertical rectus muscle is an effective treatment for abducens nerve palsy. We report a case of inferior rectus muscle aplasia treated using the modified Nishida procedure to transpose both horizontal rectus muscles inferiorly combined with superior rectus tenotomy.

    Abstract Abstract The formation and emission of sulfur trioxide (SO3) in sulfur recovery unit has received increasing attention due to its adverse effects on the operation of plant and environment. Due to the excess oxygen, high concentration of SO2 and high temperature, SO3 formation in the sulfur recovery unit tail gas incinerator may significantly increase. A small horizontal tube reactor was employed to simulate the homogeneous oxidation of SO2 in the tail gas incinerator. The SO3 concentration was measured with a controlled condensation method at the outlet of the reactor. The present work focuses on the gas-phase chemistry and examines the impact of different combustion parameters and atmospheres on the formation of SO3 in the tail gas incinerator. Experiment results show that the increased O2 and SO2 concentrations along with increasing temperature are favorable for enhancing SO3 formation over the range of tested parameters. The presence of water vapor has an enhancing effect of SO2 oxidation in the experiments conducted. No significant effect of CO2 was found to the oxidation of SO2.

    Abstract Objective: To retrospectively analyze the changes of thyroid function and related factors in critical patients with non-thyroid illness, hoping to find some indicators for the further examination of the thyroid function in the intensive care unit situation.
    Methods: The clinical data of 52 patients admitted to the ICU of Fuzhou First Hospital in Fujian Province, China, from May 2018 to March 2019 were collected. Patients were allocated into the central hypothyroidism group (CH group, n = 21) and the low T
    Results: The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in the CH group and the LT
    Conclusion: Central hypothyroidism may exist in critically ill patients and may be associated with elevated fasting plasma glucose levels; accordingly, it should be included as part of patient assessment. When FPG is higher than 6.4mmol/L on admission, thyroid function should be actively examined.

    Abstract This study establishes an expert-driven evaluation system to assess the sustainable tourism development of drama-related intangible cultural heritage in China. Utilizing the Saaty 1-9 scale and hierarchical analysis method, 52 experts determined indicator weights and current development levels. Four dimensions are evaluated: humanistic value, project quality, tourism development, and sustainability. Results reveal humanistic value as most vital at 41.70 % weight. Secondary factors are project quality (29.89 %), tourism development (20.87 %), and sustainability (7.54 %). Aesthetic value, dissemination degree, and location conditions proved to the crucial tourism indicators. The ideological value of drama is paramount, alongside visibility and climate factors. The evaluation demonstrated strong preservation of humanistic value but deficiencies in tourism development, especially regarding infrastructure. Key recommendations include balancing preservation, dissemination, and innovation; emphasizing ideological value, visibility, and climate suitability; maintaining humanistic diversity; and improving site infrastructure. Further testing of evaluation indicators across periods is warranted alongside examining green revitalization potential. This assessment, guided by experts, offers a thorough framework for the sustainable development and preservation of the precious intangible heritage embodied in Chinese drama.
