BACKGROUND: IgA nephropathy can progress to kidney failure, and risk assessment soon after diagnosis has advantages both for clinical management and the development of new therapeutics. We present relationships among proteinuria, eGFR slope and lifetime risks for kidney failure.METHODS: The IgA nephropathy cohort (2,299 adults, 140 children) of the UK National Registry of Rare Kidney Diseases (RaDaR) was analyzed. Patients enrolled had a biopsy-proven diagnosis of IgA nephropathy, plus proteinuria >0.5 g/day or eGFR RESULTS: Median (Q1, Q3) follow-up was 5.9 (3.0, 10.5) years; 50% of patients reached kidney failure or died in the study period. Median (95% CI) kidney survival was 11.4 (10.5, 12.5) years; mean age at kidney failure/death was 48 years, and most patients progressed to kidney failure within 10-15 years. Based on eGFR and age at diagnosis, almost all patients are at risk of progression to kidney failure within their expected lifetime unless a rate of eGFR loss ≤1 ml/min/1.73m 2 /year can be maintained. Time-averaged proteinuria was significantly associated with worse kidney survival and more rapid eGFR loss in incident, prevalent, and "clinical trial" populations. 30% of patients with time-averaged proteinuria of 0.44 to CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes in this large IgA nephropathy cohort are generally poor with few patients expected to avoid kidney failure in their lifetime. Significantly, patients traditionally regarded as being "low-risk", with proteinuria

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the features of macular microvasculature with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) among migraine patients.MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library for studies that evaluated the macular microvasculature of migraine patients. The weighted mean differences (WMDs) of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ), foveal superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vessel density (VD), parafoveal SCP VD, foveal deep capillary plexus (DCP) VD, and parafoveal DCP VD with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) among migraine with aura (MA) group, migraine without aura (MO) group, and healthy controls (HC) group were analyzed using a random-effect model. P < 0.05 was considered significant in statistical analyses. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and statistical tests (Egger's test and Begg's test).ResultsNine studies covering 675 individuals were enrolled in this meta-analysis ultimately. The FAZ of MA patients was not significantly different from HC (WMD = 0.04, 95% CI −0.00 to 0.09). However, the FAZ of MA was significantly larger than that of HC after correction of publication bias by trim and fill method (WMD = 1.03, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.08). The FAZ of MO patients was similar to that of HC (WMD = 0.03, 95% CI −0.00 to 0.07), while smaller than that of MA patients (WMD = 0.05, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.09). VD of the SCP, either in the foveal or parafoveal area, was not significantly different among the three groups. As for DCP, VD in MA patients was lower when compared with HC in the parafovea (WMD = −1.20, 95% CI −1.88 to −0.51).ConclusionsWe found that there was a larger FAZ in MA compared with HC after adjusting for publication bias. The FAZ in MO was not significantly different from that in HC, but significantly lower than that in MA. There was no significant difference in either foveal or parafoveal VD of SCP among MA, MO, and HC participants, while the parafoveal VD of the DCP in MA was lower than that of the HC.

Li4SiO4 and Li2TiO3 have long been recognized as two excellent promising tritium breeding materials. In this paper, two kinds of ceramic pebbles, Li4SiO4 pure phase ceramic pebbles and Li4SiO4-xLi2TiO3 multiphase ceramic pebbles were prepared by a melt spraying method at a superheating temperature of 100 ℃ and then tested for their performance. The proportion of pebbles with a particle diameter of 0.8∼1.2 mm reached the maximum of 24.02 % when the spraying pressure is 0.04 MPa. The surface of the pebbles prepared by the spraying method was smooth, and the surface roughness was reported for the first time to reach 2.039 μm. The sphericity reached 1.027. When the Ti/Si molar ratio was 0.5, the crush load of the pebbles after heat treatment reached 71.6 N and the thermal conductivity of the materials reached its maximum of 3.098 W/(m·K) at 700 ℃.

This study proposed a new ethanol-lactic type fermentation (ELTF) and explored the optimal control strategy. Using batch experiments, the effects of pH, temperature and organic loading (OL) on ELTF were investigated. The sum of ethanol and lactic acid yield was highest at whole-control pH value of 4.0, 35°C temperature and OL of 33 gCOD/L. To improve ELTF, the dynamic pH control in the long-term CSTR was adjusted at 4.0 (1-28 days), 5.0 (29-44 days) and 4.0 (46-62 days) successively. The high concentration of ethanol and lactic acid was 8190.5 mg/L at 16th day of pH 4.0. At pH of 5.0, the average acidogenesis rate and total concentration of fermentation products increased 111.0% and 128.0%, respectively. Organisms of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium were the predominant bacteria in reactor. It can achieve the directional regulation of ELTF and provides parameter support for the application of two-phase anaerobic digestion.

The effect of Zn content on the microstructure of hot extruded Mg-10.5Gd-5Y-0.5Zr (wt%) alloys was investigated. The results show that with the increasing of Zn content from 0 to 1.8 wt%, grain size of the alloys gradually decreases from 7.1 to 2.7 µm. Although the grain sizes are refined significantly, the textures of these alloys only change mildly. With the averaged Schmid factor for basal slip remaining nearly the same, percentage of grains with higher Schmid factor values decreases with the addition of Zn. At the same time, LPSO phases in various morphologies appear due to the addition of Zn. At relatively low content of Zn, the LPSO phase adopts a thin plate-shaped morphology and embeds itself inside the grains; with the Zn content increased to 1.2 wt%, block-shaped LPSO phase starts to form and its volume fraction increases with the Zn content. Strength of these alloys are gradually increased while ductility decreased, and the contributing factors are discussed based on the microstructures mentioned above.

In a landmark paper published in 2001, Leo Breiman described the tense standoff between two cultures of data modeling: parametric statistical and algorithmic machine learning. The cultural division between these two statistical learning frameworks has been growing at a steady pace in recent years. What is the way forward? It has become blatantly obvious that this widening gap between "the two cultures" cannot be averted unless we find a way to blend them into a coherent whole. This article presents a solution by establishing a link between the two cultures. Through examples, we describe the challenges and potential gains of this new integrated statistical thinking., Comment: This paper celebrates the 70th anniversary of Statistical Machine Learning--- how far we've come, and how far we have to go.

Complex networks or graphs are ubiquitous in sciences and engineering: biological networks, brain networks, transportation networks, social networks, and the World Wide Web, to name a few. Spectral graph theory provides a set of useful techniques and models for understanding `patterns of interconnectedness' in a graph. Our prime focus in this paper is on the following question: Is there a unified explanation and description of the fundamental spectral graph methods? There are at least two reasons to be interested in this question. Firstly, to gain a much deeper and refined understanding of the basic foundational principles, and secondly, to derive rich consequences with practical significance for algorithm design. However, despite half a century of research, this question remains one of the most formidable open issues, if not the core problem in modern network science. The achievement of this paper is to take a step towards answering this question by discovering a simple, yet universal statistical logic of spectral graph analysis. The prescribed viewpoint appears to be good enough to accommodate almost all existing spectral graph techniques as a consequence of just one single formalism and algorithm., Comment: The first draft of the paper was written in June 2015

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were firstly thermal treated and then acid treated in HNO 3 or mixture of HNO 3 and H 2 SO 4 . The treated carbon nanotubes were used as support to load nickel to prepare non-noble metal hydrogenation catalysts. These catalysts were characterized and applied in 1,5-dinitronaphthalene hydrogenation. The characterization results indicate that acid modified carbon nanotubes not only possess a more hydrophilic surface by introducing a variety of oxygen-containing functional groups, but also improve the nickel dispersion, hydrogen uptake quantity and metallic surface area. The Ni/CNTs catalysts show good catalytic activity in 1,5-dinitronaphthalene hydrogenation under mild reaction conditions, and the Ni/CNTs-4 gives the best result of 100% conversion of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene and 92.04% selectivity to 1,5-diaminonaphthalene under 0.6 MPa and 393 K. The influences of reaction conditions and metal loading amount are discussed, and a possible reaction routes of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene hydrogenation is proposed. Such non-noble metal hydrogenation catalysts are expected to replace the present supported palladium or platinum noble catalysts in industry.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the SAPIEN 3 valve (S3-TAVR) results in improved quality of life (QoL) compared with previous-generation TAVR devices or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).In patients with severe aortic stenosis at intermediate surgical risk, TAVR using the SAPIEN XT valve (XT-TAVR) results in similar QoL compared with SAVR. Compared with SAPIEN XT, the SAPIEN 3 valve offers a lower delivery profile and modifications to reduce paravalvular regurgitation.Between February and December 2014, 1,078 patients at intermediate surgical risk with severe aortic stenosis were treated with S3-TAVR in the PARTNER S3i (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valve) trial. QoL was assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 1 year using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36, and EQ-5D. QoL outcomes of S3-TAVR patients were compared with those in the SAVR and XT-TAVR arms of the PARTNER 2A trial using propensity score stratification to adjust for differences between the treatment groups.Over 1 year, S3-TAVR was associated with substantial improvements in QoL compared with baseline. At 1 month, S3-TAVR was associated with better QoL than either SAVR or XT-TAVR (adjusted differences in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score 15.6 and 3.7 points, respectively; p 0.001). At 1 year, the differences in QoL between S3-TAVR and both SAVR and XT-TAVR were reduced but remained statistically significant (adjusted differences 2.0 and 2.2 points, respectively; p 0.05). Similar results were seen for generic QoL outcomes.Among patients at intermediate surgical risk with severe aortic stenosis, S3-TAVR resulted in improved QoL at both 1 month and 1 year compared with both XT-TAVR and SAVR.

We demonstrated the synthesis of Pt-GO/MOF (Metal-organic framework) materials via a facile three-step procedure. The hybrid materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrum, and thermo-gravimetric analysis. The adsorption experiments of the Pt-GO/MOF on CO2 were investigated at 273 K. To be interested, all of the hybrid materials show enhanced adsorption ability on CO2, which is higher than parent MOF materials under the same conditions. As the ratios of Pt-GO increase, the adsorption amount increase first and then decrease, which is ascribed to the interaction among Pt-GO, ligands, and metal sites.

Background The impact of different types of extracranial bleeding events on health‐related quality of life and health‐state utility among patients with atrial fibrillation is not well understood. Methods and Results The ENGAGE AF ‐ TIMI 48 (Effective Anticoagulation With Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation–Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 48) Trial compared edoxaban with warfarin with respect to the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism in atrial fibrillation. Data from the EuroQol‐5D ( EQ ‐5D‐3L) questionnaire, prospectively collected at 3‐month intervals for up to 48 months, were used to estimate the impact of different categories of bleeding events on health‐state utility over 12 months following the event. Longitudinal mixed‐effect models revealed that major gastrointestinal bleeds and major nongastrointestinal bleeds were associated with significant immediate decreases in utility scores (−0.029 [−0.044 to −0.014; P P =0.001], respectively). These effects decreased in magnitude over time, and were no longer significant for major nongastrointestinal bleeds at 9 months, but remained borderline significant for major gastrointestinal bleeds at 12 months. Clinically relevant nonmajor and minor bleeds were associated with smaller but measurable immediate impacts on utility (−0.010 [−0.016 to −0.005] and −0.016 [−0.024 to −0.008]; P Conclusions All categories of bleeding events were associated with negative impacts on health‐state utility in patients with atrial fibrillation. Major bleeds were associated with relatively large immediate decreases in utility scores that gradually diminished over 12 months; clinically relevant nonmajor and minor bleeds were associated with smaller immediate decreases in utility that persisted over 12 months.

Background and purposeClinical trials have demonstrated improved 90-day outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with stent retriever thrombectomy plus tissue-type plasminogen activator (SST+tPA) compared with tPA. Previous studies suggested that this strategy may be cost-effective, but models were derived from pooled data and older assumptions.MethodsIn this prospective economic substudy conducted alongside the SWIFT-PRIME trial (Solitaire With the Intention for Thrombectomy as Primary Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke), in-trial costs were measured for patients using detailed medical resource utilization and hospital billing data. Utility weights were assessed at 30 and 90 days using the EuroQol-5 dimension questionnaire. Post-trial costs and life-expectancy were estimated for each surviving patient using a model based on trial data and inputs derived from a contemporary cohort of ischemic stroke survivors.ResultsIndex hospitalization costs were $17 183 per patient higher for SST+tPA than for tPA ($45 761 versus $28 578; P

Dust storms are natural phenomena, described in Chinese historical documents as early as 1150 BC. These documents provide a way to evaluate proxy data from different natural records. The minerogenic clastic content and grain size from two closed maar lakes located a short distance apart in northeastern China were analyzed. The area is located in the path of dust storms. The minerogenic clastics in the studied maar lakes originate mainly from dust deposition. General variations of the minerogenic clastic content in these two neighboring lakes show a good coincidence with dust concentration in a Tibet ice core and dust events as recorded in historical documents. The minerogenic clastic content in the lake sediments is linked with the climate conditions in the dust source regions and wind strength. Three periods of intensive dust events (AD 1050–1330, AD 1590–1690, and the last 200 years) have been identified during the past 1500 years. The recent increasing pattern of clastic content could be linked to human activity in the dust source regions. Significantly, most of the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was marked by a high frequency of dust storms.

The purpose of this study was to characterize health status outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a self-expanding bioprosthesis among patients at extreme surgical risk and to identify pre-procedural patient characteristics associated with a poor outcome.For many patients considering TAVR, improvement in quality of life may be of even greater importance than prolonged survival.Patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who were considered to be at prohibitive risk for surgical aortic valve replacement were enrolled in the single-arm CoreValve U.S. Extreme Risk Study. Health status was assessed at baseline and at 1, 6, and 12 months after TAVR using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), the Short Form-12, and the EuroQol-5D. The overall summary scale of the KCCQ (range 0 to 100; higher scores = better health) was the primary health status outcome. A poor outcome after TAVR was defined as death, a KCCQ overall summary score (OS)45, or a decline in KCCQ-OS of 10 points at 6-month follow-up.A total of 471 patients underwent TAVR via the transfemoral approach, of whom 436 (93%) completed the baseline health status survey. All health status measures demonstrated considerable impairment at baseline. After TAVR, there was substantial improvement in both disease-specific and generic health status measures, with an increase in the KCCQ-OS of 23.9 points (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.3 to 27.5 points) at 1 month, 27.4 points (95% CI: 24.2 to 30.6 points) at 6 months, 27.4 points (95% CI: 24.1 to 30.8 points) at 12 months, along with substantial increases in Short Form-12 scores and EuroQol-5D utilities (all p0.003 compared with baseline). Nonetheless, 39% of patients had a poor outcome after TAVR. Baseline factors independently associated with poor outcome included wheelchair dependency, lower mean aortic valve gradient, prior coronary artery bypass grafting, oxygen dependency, very high predicted mortality with surgical aortic valve replacement, and low serum albumin.Among patients with severe aortic stenosis, TAVR with a self-expanding bioprosthesis resulted in substantial improvements in both disease-specific and generic health-related quality of life, but there remained a large minority of patients who died or had very poor quality of life despite TAVR. Predictive models based on a combination of clinical factors as well as disability and frailty may provide insight into the optimal patient population for whom TAVR is beneficial.

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes in patients treated with carotid artery stenting (CAS) versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA).BackgroundIn CREST (Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial), the largest randomized trial of carotid revascularization to date, there was no significant difference in the primary composite endpoint, but rates of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) differed between CAS and CEA. To help guide individualized clinical decision making, we compared HRQOL among patients enrolled in the CREST study. We also performed exploratory analyses to evaluate the association between periprocedural complications and HRQOL.MethodsWe measured HRQOL at baseline, and after 2 weeks, 1 month, and 1 year among 2,502 patients randomly assigned to either CAS or CEA in the CREST study. The HRQOL was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 (SF-36) and 6 disease-specific scales designed to study HRQOL in patients undergoing carotid revascularization.ResultsAt both 2 weeks and 1 month, CAS patients had better outcomes for multiple components of the SF-36, with large differences for role physical function, pain, and the physical component summary scale (all p < 0.01). On the disease-specific scales, CAS patients reported less difficulty with driving, eating/swallowing, neck pain, and headaches but more difficulty with walking and leg pain (all p < 0.05). However, by 1 year, there were no differences in any HRQOL measure between CAS and CEA. In the exploratory analyses, periprocedural stroke was associated with poorer 1-year HRQOL across all SF-36 domains, but periprocedural MI or cranial nerve palsy were not.ConclusionsAmong patients undergoing carotid revascularization, CAS is associated with better HRQOL during the early recovery period as compared with CEA—particularly with regard to physical limitations and pain—but these differences diminish over time and are not evident after 1 year. Although CAS and CEA are associated with similar overall HRQOL at 1 year, event-specific analyses confirm that stroke has a greater and more sustained impact on HRQOL than MI.

Affinity propagation clustering (AP) has two limitations: it is hard to know what value of parameter 'preference' can yield an optimal clustering solution, and oscillations cannot be eliminated automatically if occur. The adaptive AP method is proposed to overcome these limitations, including adaptive scanning of preferences to search space of the number of clusters for finding the optimal clustering solution, adaptive adjustment of damping factors to eliminate oscillations, and adaptive escaping from oscillations when the damping adjustment technique fails. Experimental results on simulated and real data sets show that the adaptive AP is effective and can outperform AP in quality of clustering results., Comment: an English version of original paper

The distribution system optimal rush-maintain path (ORP) is the important function of a distribution management system. According to the theory analysis and practical collected fault data, the practical feature of distribution system faults is analyzed in this paper. From the aspect of topology structure analysis of urban road, the viewpoint that any fault site could be considered on the road is proposed in this paper. According to this hypothesis, the line fault could be considered on the relative two nodes. Then the distribution system ORP problem could be transferred into the traveling time shortest problem. Under the condition of above analysis, the method and its mathematical model of urban distribution system ORP is obtained, and the effect factors are deeply analyzed in this paper. The test shows that the mathematical model proposed in this paper has practicability and flexibility, and could meet the requirements of distribution system ORP solution.
