Cervical cancer represents one of the most important female genital cancers. Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) accounts for about 90% of all cervical malignancies and the prognosis are unsatisfied. Here we aimed to investigate the clinical relevance of metallothionein-like 5 (MTL5), a novel metallothionein-like protein, in CESC. RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry staining showed that MTL5 was upregulated in CESC tissues than nontumorous cervix tissues, which is consistent with the data from TCGA database. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that higher MTL5 can help predict worse prognosis. In addition, Cox hazard regression analysis verified an independent predictive role of MTL5 in CESC. To further investigate the involvement of MTL5 in CESC, we conducted knockdown experiments in two CESC cell lines. As a result, silencing MTL5g significantly inhibited proliferation of CESC cells. Finally, we validated that silencing MTL5 can suppress CESC tumor growth in vivo using the mice subcutaneous xenografts model. Taken together, higher MTL5 indicates worse survival of CESC after surgical resection. Targeting MTL5 represents a potential therapy of CESC by inhibiting tumor growth, which deserves further investigations.

The complexity and multivariate analysis of biological systems and environment are the drawbacks of the current high-throughput sensing method and multianalyte identification. Deep learning (DL) algorithms contribute a big advantage in analyzing the nonlinear and multidimensional data. However, most DL models are data-driven black boxes suffering from nontransparent inner workings. In this work, we developed an explainable DL-assisted visualized fluorometric array-based sensing method. Based on a data set of 8496 fluorometric images of various target molecule fingerprint patterns, two typical DL algorithms and eight machine learning algorithms were investigated for the efficient qualitative and quantitative analysis of six aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGs). The convolutional neural network (CNN) approached 100% prediction accuracy and 1.34 ppm limit of detection of six AG analysis in domestic, industrial, medical, consumption, or aquaculture water. The class activation mapping assessment explicates how the CNN model assesses the importance of sensor elements and makes the discrimination decision. The feedback mechanism guides the sensor array evolution for less material using a simplified operation or efficient data acquisition. The explainable DL-assisted analysis method establishes an "end-to-end" strategy to resolve the black box of the DL algorithm, promote hardware design or principle optimization, and contribute facile indicators for environment monitoring, disease diagnosis, and even new scientific discovery.

Tensor networks (TN) are a method of decomposing high-rank tensors into tractable lower rank. In this paper, we present a classification algorithm for variational quantum tensor networks (VQTN), which has higher performance on near-term processors. Motivated by the hybrid quantum–classical architecture, the truncated quantum tensor networks (QTN) outputs are fed into a classical neural network. We then utilize kernel encoding, circuit models, multiple readouts, and stochastic gradient descent to achieve shallow quantum circuits. Finally, we deploy the QTN and VQTN algorithms on the TensorFlow Quantum processor by using the Iris and MNIST data sets. Our algorithm experimentally costs only half of the qubits with an average accuracy of 93.72 % . Compared with the QTN algorithm, the accuracy is improved by 7.71 % .

A basic problem of the constant dimension subspace coding is to determine the maximal possible size Aq(n,d,k) of a set of k-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbf {F}_{q}^{n}$ such that the subspace distance satisfies $\text {dis}(U,V) =2k-2 \dim (U \cap V) \geq d$ for any two different subspaces U and V in this set. We propose two constructions of constant dimension subspace codes that can insert flexibly into the generalized parallel linkage construction. In our constructions matrix blocks from small constant dimension codes and rank metric codes play important roles. Through a well-arranged combination for the matrix blocks, more than 120 new constant dimension subspace codes of distance 4, 6, 8 better than previously best known codes are constructed.

INTRODUCTION: The mechanistic definition of chronic pancreatitis (CP) identifies acute pancreatitis (AP) as a precursor stage. We hypothesized that clinical AP frequently precedes the diagnosis of CP and is associated with patient- and disease-related factors. We describe the prevalence, temporal relationship and associations of AP in a well-defined North American cohort. METHODS: We evaluated data from 883 patients with CP prospectively enrolled in the North American Pancreatitis Studies across 27 US centers between 2000 and 2014. We determined how often patients had one or more episodes of AP and its occurrence in relationship to the diagnosis of CP. We used multivariable logistic regression to determine associations for prior AP. RESULTS: There were 624/883 (70.7%) patients with prior AP, among whom 161 (25.8%) had AP within 2 years, 115 (18.4%) within 3–5 years, and 348 (55.8%) >5 years prior to CP diagnosis. Among 504 AP patients with available information, 436 (86.5%) had >1 episode. On multivariable analyses, factors associated with increased odds of having prior AP were a younger age at CP diagnosis, white race, abdominal pain, pseudocyst(s) and pancreatic duct dilatation/stricture, while factors associated with a lower odds of having prior AP were exocrine insufficiency and pancreatic atrophy. When compared with patients with 1 episode, those with >1 AP episode were diagnosed with CP an average of 5 years earlier. CONCLUSIONS: Nearly three-quarters of patients were diagnosed with AP prior to CP diagnosis. Identifying which AP patients are at-risk for future progression to CP may provide opportunities for primary and secondary prevention.

This paper estimates the impact of destination cities’ temperature on the migration intentions of highly educated talents. Using a unique manually collected dataset of applicants for the Unified National Graduate Entrance Examination (UNGEE) of double first-class universities in China, we find that both hot (over 25 °C) and cold (below 5 °C) days in the previous 3 months before the registration date significantly decrease the number of applicants for the UNGEE of double first-class universities, relative to a moderate (20–25 °C) day. Heterogeneity analysis shows that such effects differ by destination universities’ quality and climate regions. We also find that destination cities’ income level can mitigate the negative effects of hot days and cold days on the number of applicants. These findings add to the existent literature by examining an understudied relationship between temperature and migration intention.

- Abstract
Introduction. Urotensin II (U II) is a kind of active peptide with a variety of biological effects, such as promoting cell proliferation and endocrine effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of urotensin II on the proliferation and secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in cultured rat dermal papilla cells (DPCs), and to explore its molecular mechanism. Materials and Methods. We used the DPCs isolated from the thoracic aortas of Wistar-Kyoto rats to run the CCK8 and ELISA assay, RC-PCR and Western blotting techniques to identify the effect of Urotensin II on the proliferation and secretion of VEGF in DPCs, data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA or t-test. Results. U II can increase the mRNA expression of proliferation markers Ki67 and PCNA. In addition, the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway was activated by U II, but Wnt inhibitor DKK1 reversed the effect of U II. Conclusions. U II promoted the proliferation and secretion of VEGF in rat DPCs through activation of the Wnt-ß-catenin signaling pathway. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we examine the effects of a special period regulation (SPR), implemented in the Chang-Zhu-Tan (Changsha City, Zhuzhou City, and Xiangtan City; CZT) region, regarding medical expenses paid by the Urban and Rural Resident Basic Medical Insurance (URRBMI) and Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI) programs, using a difference-in-differences (DID) design. We find that the SPR significantly reduces medical expenses in the CZT region, which appears to be driven by improved air quality. Furthermore, this regulation has a significantly negative and positive impact on medical expenses paid by the UURBMI and UEBMI, respectively. In summary, our results provide empirical evidence for the orderly implementation of command-and-control environmental regulation policies from the perspective of health benefits.

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) use classical computers as the quantum outer loop optimizer and update the circuit parameters to obtain an approximate ground state. In this article, we present a meta-learning variational quantum algorithm (meta-VQA) by recurrent unit, which uses a technique called ``meta-learner.'' Motivated by the hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, we train classical recurrent units to assist quantum computing, learning to find approximate optima in the parameter landscape. Here, aiming to reduce the sampling number more efficiently, we use the quantum stochastic gradient descent method and introduce the adaptive learning rate. Finally, we deploy on the TensorFlow Quantum processor within approximate quantum optimization for the Ising model and variational quantum eigensolver for molecular hydrogen (H₂), lithium hydride (LiH), and helium hydride cation (HeH⁺). Our algorithm can be expanded to larger system sizes and problem instances, which have higher performance on near-term processors.

Background Immunoglobulin G subclass 4 (IgG4) is hypothesized to play an immunomodulatory role, downregulating humoral immune responses. The role of this anti-inflammatory molecule in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been fully characterized. We sought to define alterations in serum IgG4 in patients with IBD and their association with multiyear disease severity. Methods We analyzed metadata derived from curated electronic health records from consented patients with IBD prospectively followed at a tertiary center over a 10-year time period. Patients with IBD with IgG4 serum levels available formed the study population. Demographics and multiyear clinical data were collected and analyzed. We stratified patients with IBD with low, normal, or high serum IgG4 levels. Results We found IgG4 characterized in 1193 patients with IBD and low IgG4 levels in 233 patients (20%) and elevated IgG4 levels in 61 patients (5%). An IgG4 deficiency did not significantly correlate with other antibody deficiencies. In a multiple Poisson regression analysis, low IgG4 was associated with more years on biologic agents (P = 0.002) and steroids (P = 0.049) and more hospital admissions (P < 0.001), clinic visits (P = 0.010), outpatient antibiotic prescriptions (P < 0.001), and CD-related surgeries (P = 0.011) during the study period after controlling for certain confounders. Elevated IgG4 was only associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis (P = 0.011). A cohort of patients with IgG4-deficient severe IBD received intravenous Ig replacement therapy, which benefited and was continued in 10 out of 11 individuals. Conclusions An IgG4 subclass deficiency, distinct from other antibody deficiencies, occurred commonly in a referral IBD population and was associated with multiple markers of disease severity. This is the first association of IgG4 subclass deficiency with an inflammatory disease process. Further work is needed to define the mechanistic role of IgG4 deficiency in this severe IBD subgroup.

Different from the existing quantum key distribution (QKD)-based quantum private query (QPQ) protocols, we propose a secure multi-party quantum private information query protocol utilizing universal blind quantum computation in quantum cloud computing. Due to the blindness and correctness of blind quantum computation, our protocol guarantees the privacy and security for all the clients and the servers. The clients obtain values corresponding to their queries only, and nothing else from the servers, while the servers can not get any information about the queries. In our protocols, the only thing that the clients do is to need the ability to perform single-qubit measurement or to prepare single-qubit states.

Background Peripheral blood eosinophilia (PBE) is a biomarker of an aggressive multiyear natural history in adults with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Additionally, PBE at diagnosis is associated with higher disease activity in pediatric-onset IBD. We sought to determine if PBE can function as a biomarker of long-term disease severity in pediatric-onset IBD patients who are followed into adulthood. Methods We analyzed a consented, prospective, natural history IBD registry at an adult tertiary center from 2009 to 2018. Prevalence of PBE was evaluated in both pediatric- and adult-onset IBD patients. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and health care utilization data were compared in patients with and without PBE. Results Among 2800 adult IBD patients, 23.4% had pediatric-onset disease. PBE was found in 34% of the pediatric-onset patients compared with 26.8% of the adult-onset IBD patients (P < 0.001). In the pediatric-onset IBD cohort, PBE was associated with higher rates of allergies (P < 0.0001), but not of asthma, allergic rhinitis, or primary sclerosing cholangitis. In the adult IBD patients with pediatric-onset disease, PBE was associated with higher rates of C-reactive protein elevation (P < 0.0001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate elevation (P < 0.0001), higher health care utilization, and higher average health care charges per year (P < 0.00001). Conclusions Peripheral blood eosinophilia was more prevalent in adult IBD patients with pediatric-onset compared with adult-onset disease. Among all IBD patients with long-term follow-up, PBE defined a subgroup with more severe illness. These data suggest that PBE may be a biomarker for a high-risk subgroup with high cost trajectory and long-term severity in pediatric-onset IBD that persists into adulthood.

Many-body quantum states, as a matter of fact, are extremely essential to solve certain mathematical problems or simulate quantum systems in measurement-based quantum computation. However, how to verify large scale quantum states, such as hypergraph states, is an exceedingly hard task for multi-body quantum systems. Here, we propose a novel fault-tolerant solution for verification of colorable hypergraph states by using stabilizer test. Compared with the adaptive stabilizer test, our protocol is dramatically facilitating by making only Pauli-X and Pauli-Z measurement. As to appliance, it will be also applied to blind quantum computing., Comment: Verification, colorable hypergraph states, stabilizer test

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of personalized nutrition intervention combined with telephone-based education on the nutritional status of colorectal cancer survivors and their quality of life.In this randomized, parallel-controlled trial, 60 colorectal cancer survivors who met the eligibility criteria were recruited from a community in Shanghai and randomly assigned 1:1 into nutrition intervention and routine care groups. The routine care group received a follow up by telephoneafter 6 months. The nutrition intervention group received personalized nutritional interventions and telephone-based education through the WeChat app for 6 mo. Nutrition status, dietary intake, and quality of life were measured and compared between the groups.Of the enrolled participants, 56 participants were included in the modified intent-to-treat analysis for comparison. After the 6-mo intervention, the nutrition group had a statistically lower patient-generated subjective global assessment score and higher energy and protein intake compared with the routine care group. Moreover, the nutrition intervention group gained more weight (2.00 kg; 95% confidence interval, 0.25-3.00) than the routine care group (0.00 kg; 95% confidence interval, -1.75 to 0.00). Meanwhile, compared with the routine care group, the nutrition intervention group had significantly higher global health status, as well as physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning (Plt; 0.05).Personalized nutrition interventions, combined with telephone-based education, provided by community health service centers can improve colorectal cancer survivors' nutritional status and quality of life. Personalized nutrition intervention for cancer survivors warrants further investigation in confirmatory studies.

Verifiable blind quantum computation provides a cloud scenario for scalable quantum information processing. However, constructing one resource-efficient verification protocol is still an open problem. In this paper, the context of verification we consider is the measurement-based model, in which the client receives the graph state prepared by the server and performs single-qubit measurements on it to drive the computation. We first utilize three entanglement witnesses to estimate the fidelity of the prepared graph state. Applying entanglement witnesses to design the test phase, we propose verification protocols. Our protocol requires overhead in terms of copies of the graph state that scales as $O({n}^{2}logn)$, where $n$ is the number of qubits of the graph state. Furthermore, the soundness of our protocol is improved. The advantages of our protocol are derived from the fact that each entanglement witness can be implemented by the client with a fixed number of measurement settings.

Background: Aldosterone is an important hormone in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and playing a pivotal role in the development of hypertension, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases. Material and method: In this study, the role of the aldosterone in vascular calcification was underwent in rat model compared with other drugs. Vascular calcification, calcium concentration, activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aldosterone, Urotensin II, mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and Osteopontin (OPN) were detected or confirmed by the von Kossa staining, colorimetric assays, immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay, separately. Result: Results revealed that the aldosterone was significantly increased compared calcification + aldosterone group with calcification group, whereas it was notably decreased in calcification + Spironolactone group in the aortic wall. Compared with control group and aldosterone group, calcium content in vascular tissues was increased in calcification group and calcification + aldosterone group. As the immunoreactivity of the MR, OPN, Urotensin II, IL-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and deposition of collagen in calcification group and aldosterone group, they all were increased slightly, but were significantly increased in calcification + aldosterone group. Conclusion: It is implied that aldosterone may be involved in the development of vascular calcification, however, the mechanism needs to be further studied.

This paper reviews recent economic studies that estimate the impacts of energy accidents and energy-related policies and regulations on pollution and health. Using difference-in-differences and regression discontinuity designs, most papers show that energy accidents and consumption significantly increased pollution and had adverse health effects. However, the enforcement of clean energy policies and strict regulations have improved air quality and mitigated the negative effects on health. Hence, future research should focus more on the health effects of clean energy in developing countries.

Blind quantum computing (BQC) allows a client with limited quantum technology to delegate her quantum computational tasks to a server who can perform universal quantum computation while retaining the client’s secret information. Firstly, in qubits transmission between the server and the client, the loss of qubits is inevitable due to the channel noise. Thus, we propose a fault-tolerant framework for blind quantum computing using logical GHZ states over depolarization channels. In our protocol, an encoded GHZ state by 7-qubit Calderbank–Shor–Steane code is sent by the quantum channel as a medium of quantum teleportation. The client only makes a single-qubit measurement on the third qubit of the logical GHZ state, and the remaining Bell state is shared between the client and the server. After decoding logical Bell state, the client and the server perform the measurement-based blind quantum computing protocol. Secondly, there are two classes of collective noises in the channel, which will affect the blind quantum computing. We modify our BQC protocol to overcome the collective-dephasing noise and the collective-rotating noise with logical states $$|H_{dp}\rangle $$ , $$|V_{dp}\rangle $$ , $$|H_{r}\rangle $$ and $$|V_{r}\rangle $$ . Our protocol is robust against channel noise and qubits loss.

BACKGROUND: Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is a novel oncogene overexpressed in several human cancers, but specific contributions to endometrial carcinoma (EC) have not been examined. The aims of this study were to evaluate the GOLPH3 expression in EC and investigate its functions in EC cell proliferation, migration, and survival. METHODS: The expression levels of GOLPH3 in EC patient samples and EC cell lines (HEC-1A, KLE, RL95-2, and Ishikawa) were examined using qRT-PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Further, EC cell lines with either ectopic GOLPH3 overexpression or knockdown were established, and the effects on proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration were investigated in vitro using cell viability and transwell assays and in mice following cell injection. RESULTS: Compared to adjacent non-cancerous tissues, expression of GOLPH3 was significantly upregulated in EC tissues (P< 0.05), and the expression level of GOPLPH3 was related to the grade of the tumor (P< 0.05). The expression of GOLPH3 was also higher in all four EC cell lines than endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) (P< 0.05). Moreover, GOLPH3 expression was greater in EC cell lines with high invasive capacity than in non-invasive EC cells (P< 0.05). Knockdown of GOLPH3 inhibited EC cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis in vitro. Further, knockdown of GOLPH3 also inhibited EC cell invasion and migration in vitro and in vivo by regulating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Conversely, GOLPH3 overexpression promoted proliferation and migration. CONCLUSIONS: The present study provides evidence that GOLPH3 promotes EMT and metastasis of EC cells and predicts the risk of EC progression, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for this malignancy.

Background Multistate foodborne disease outbreaks and recalls of apples and apple products contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes demonstrate the need for improved pathogen control in the apple supply chain. Apple processing facilities have been identified in the past as potential sources of persisting L. monocytogenes contamination. In this study, we sought to understand the composition of microbiota in built apple and other tree fruit processing environments and its association with the occurrence of the foodborne pathogen L. monocytogenes. Results Analysis of 117 samples collected from three apple and other tree fruit packing facilities (F1, F2, and F3) showed that facility F2 had a significantly higher L. monocytogenes occurrence compared to F1 and F3 (p < 0.01). The microbiota in facility F2 was distinct compared to facilities F1 and F3 as supported by the mean Shannon index for bacterial and fungal alpha diversities that was significantly lower in F2, compared to F1 and F3 (p < 0.01). Microbiota in F2 was uniquely predominated by bacterial family Pseudomonadaceae and fungal family Dipodascaceae. Conclusions The composition and diversity of microbiota and mycobiota present in the investigated built food processing environments may be indicative of persistent contamination with L. monocytogenes. These findings support the need for further investigation of the role of the microbial communities in the persistence of L. monocytogenes to support the optimization of L. monocytogenes control strategies in the apple supply chain.

Background. Subcortical infarcts can result in verbal memory impairment, but the potential underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Objective. We investigated the spatiotemporal deterioration patterns of brain structures in patients with subcortical infarction and identified the regions that contributed to verbal memory impairment. Methods. Cognitive assessment and structural magnetic resonance imaging were performed 1, 4, and 12 weeks after stroke onset in 28 left-hemisphere and 22 right-hemisphere stroke patients with subcortical infarction. Whole-brain volumetric analysis combined with a further-refined shape analysis was conducted to analyze longitudinal morphometric changes in brain structures and their relationship to verbal memory performance. Results. Between weeks 1 and 12, significant volume decreases in the ipsilesional basal ganglia, inferior white matter, and thalamus were found in the left-hemisphere stroke group. Among those 3 structures, only the change rate of the thalamus volume was significantly correlated with that in immediate recall. For the right-hemisphere stroke group, only the ipsilesional basal ganglia survived the week 1 to week 12 group comparison, but its change rate was not significantly correlated with the verbal memory change rate. Shape analysis of the thalamus revealed atrophies of the ipsilesional thalamic subregions connected to the prefrontal, temporal, and premotor cortices in the left-hemisphere stroke group and positive correlations between the rates of those atrophies and the change rate in immediate recall. Conclusions. Secondary damage to the thalamus, especially to the left subregions connected to specific cortices, may be associated with early verbal memory impairment following an acute subcortical infarct.

This white paper presents a series of perspectives on current and future phytobiome management, discussed at the Wild and Tamed Phytobiomes Symposium in University Park, PA, U.S.A., in June 2018. To enhance plant productivity and health, and to translate lab- and greenhouse-based phytobiome research to field applications, the academic community and end-users need to address a variety of scientific, practical, and social challenges. Prior discussion of phytobiomes has focused heavily on plant-associated bacterial and fungal assemblages, but the phytobiomes concept covers all factors that influence plant function. Here we discuss various management considerations, including abiotic conditions (e.g., soil and nutrient applications), microorganisms (e.g., bacterial and fungal assemblages, bacterial and fungal inoculants, and viruses), macroorganisms (e.g., arthropods and plant genetics), and societal factors (e.g., communication approaches and technology diffusion). An important near-term goal for this field should be to estimate the potential relative contribution of different components of the phytobiome to plant health, as well as the potential and risk of modifying each in the near future.

Background Persistent organ failure (POF) is the strongest determinant of mortality in acute pancreatitis (AP). There is a paucity of data regarding the impact of different POF attributes on mortality and the role of different characteristics of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in the risk of developing POF. Objective We aimed to assess the association of POF dynamic features with mortality and SIRS characteristics with POF. Methods We studied 1544 AP subjects prospectively enrolled at 22 international centers (APPRENTICE consortium). First, we estimated the association of onset, duration, and maximal score of SIRS with POF. Then, we evaluated the risk of mortality based on POF onset, duration, number, type, and sequence of organs affected. Analyses were adjusted for potential confounders. Results 58% had SIRS, 11% developed POF, and 2.5% died. Early SIRS, persistent SIRS, and maximal SIRS score ≥ 3 were independently associated with higher risk of POF (p, Key Summary What is known? Persistent organ failure (POF; >48 h) is the strongest determinant of mortality in acute pancreatitis (AP).There is lack of evidence on the impact of different attributes of failing organs on AP mortality.The association of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) characteristics with POF, has not been well studied. What is new here? Mortality risk in AP patients with POF is determined by the number, type, and sequence of organ systems affected.Multiple POF affecting the cardiovascular and respiratory systems first or concurrently carries the highest mortality in AP compared to the renal system.Involvement of the renal system as the first failing organ or concurrently with other organs during multiple POF is associated with lower mortality than respiratoy or cardiovascular systems as first failing organs.Onset and duration of POF are not associated with mortality in AP patients.SIRS on admission, persistent SIRS, and three to four SIRS criteria, are independently associated with higher risk of POF.
