The distinct tumor microenvironment (TME) of prostate cancer (PCa), which promotes tumor proliferation and progression, consists of various stromal cells, immune cells, and a dense extracellular matrix (ECM). The understanding of the prostate TME extends to tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) and metastasis niches to provide a more concise comprehension of tumor metastasis. These constituents collectively structure the hallmarks of the pro-tumor TME, including immunosuppressive, acidic, and hypoxic niches, neuronal innervation, and metabolic rewiring. In combination with the knowledge of the tumor microenvironment and the advancement of emerging therapeutic technologies, several therapeutic strategies have been developed, and some of them have been tested in clinical trials. This review elaborates on PCa TME components, summarizes various TME-targeted therapies, and provides insights into PCa carcinogenesis, progression, and therapeutic strategies.

This paper proposes a method for calculating the degrees of freedom of multi-loop hybrid folding mechanisms, which is used to calculate the degrees of freedom of multi-loop hybrid folding mechanisms, redefines the problem of not being able to determine whether the folding units are in series and parallel during the assembly process, summaries the two cases of redundant constraints, gives the calculation principle of multi-loop hybrid folding mechanisms, calculates the degrees of freedom for The calculation of degrees of freedom for the assembly of a variety of different crease folding units is carried out to verify the accuracy and feasibility of the degree of freedom calculation rule proposed in this paper. The control of the hand claw is improved and the number of drives added to the envelope type paper folding hand claw to capture space debris is reduced, greatly improving the reliability and stability of the paper-folding hand claw in space capture work, which is of great significance to the problem of calculating degrees of freedom after the assembly of paper folding units and the analysis of degrees of freedom of complex paper folding mechanisms and their design.

In order to improve the competitiveness of wind power in participating in the power market, promote low-carbon operation of the power system, and meet the new requirements for the completeness and flexibility of the production simulation model due to the uncertainty of wind power output,this paper analyzes the electricity cost composition from the perspective of low-carbon economy, and applies the stochastic programming theory to propose a short-term production simulation model of power system containing wind power. Considering the participation of the carbon trading market, this model aims to minimize the expected cost of electricity production in a short-term time scale, and coordinately optimize the day-ahead power output, real-time power regulation, power reserve capacity, wind curtailment, and load shedding. Taking the modified IEEE 39-bus system as an example, this paper quantitatively evaluates the impact of carbon trading mechanism, carbon trading price, and wind power installed capacity on electricity costs and their contributions to carbon emission reduction. The simulation results show that the proposed model can effectively analyze the short-term electricity cost, carbon emissions, and operational risks of the power system containing wind power under the carbon trading environment, thus has a promise application prospect.

This article delves into the generation and modulation process of X-rays as high-energy photon sources. Using the principles of classical electrodynamics, this study enables nonrelativistic short pulse lasers to collide with high-energy electrons while the collision center is away from the focal point. This scattering method may produce X-rays with good collimation and monochromaticity, and it progressively approaches inverse Thomson scattering. We studied and analyzed the effects of different electron characteristics and laser parameter settings on the high-energy angular distribution and spectrum of X-rays, especially the setting of the collision center and initial electron velocity, as well as the setting of laser intensity and pulse width. Linear polarized laser pulses with relativistic intensity can generate discrete supercontinuum X-rays with spectral distortion. In addition, the relationships between electronic and laser properties and radiation energy were also studied. Our research can provide valuable insights for manipulating collimated or distorted, monochromatic, or tunable X-rays, as well as understanding their properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a novel view of the impact of electron collision off-axis positions on the dynamic properties and relativistic nonlinear Thomson inverse scattering of excited electrons within tightly focused, circularly polarized laser pulses of varying intensities. We examine the effects of the transverse ponderomotive force, specifically how the deviation angle and speed of electron motion are affected by the initial off-axis position of the electron and the peak amplitude of the laser pulse. When the laser pulse intensity is low, an increase in the electron's initial off-axis distance results in reduced spatial radiation power, improved collimation, super-continuum phenomena generation, red-shifting of the spectrum's harmonic peak, and significant symmetry in the radiation radial direction. However, in contradiction to conventional understandings, when the laser pulse intensity is relatively high, the properties of the relativistic nonlinear Thomson inverse scattering of the electron deviate from the central axis, changing direction in opposition to the aforementioned effects. After reaching a peak, these properties then shift again, aligning with the previous direction. The complex interplay of these effects suggests a greater nuance and intricacy in the relationship between laser pulse intensity, electron position, and scattering properties than previously thought.
