To identify coatings and analyze the anti-detection capabilities of camouflage patterns， material samples can be prepared using the super-pixel segmentation method. A spectral polarization imaging system is developed， based on the principle of BRDF， to obtain spectral reflection intensities of coatings at full spatial angles， and use polarization images to calculate the refractive index by the Fresnel equation. The index is then coupled into Torrance-Sparrow model to simulate the spectral scattering intensity to mutually verify the experimental results. The spectral scattering characteristics of standard camouflage patterns are then revealed and pinpoint the signature band and the angle of reflecting sensitivity.

Diabetes affects about 422 million people worldwide,causing 1.5 million deaths each year.However,the incidence of diabetes is increasing,including several types of diabetes.Type 1 diabetes(5%-10%of diabetic cases)and type 2 diabetes(90%-95%of diabetic cases)are the main types of diabetes in the clinic.Accumulating evidence shows that the fibroblast growth factor(FGF)family plays important roles in many metabolic disorders,including type 1 and type 2 diabetes.FGF consists of 23 family members(FGF-1-23)in humans.Here,we review current findings of FGFs in the treatment of diabetes and management of diabetic complications.Some FGFs(e.g.,FGF-15,FGF-19,and FGF-21)have been broadly investigated in preclinical studies for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes,and their therapeutic roles in diabetes are currently under investigation in clinical trials.Overall,the roles of FGFs in diabetes and diabetic complications are involved in numerous processes.First,FGF intervention can prevent high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance and reduce the levels of fasting blood glucose and triglycerides by regulating lipolysis in adipose tissues and hepatic glucose production.Second,modulation of FGF expression can inhibit renal and cardiac fibrosis by regulating the expression of extracellular matrix components,promote diabetic wound healing process and bone repair,and inhibit cancer cell proliferation and migration.Finally,FGFs can regulate the activation of glucoseexcited neurons and the expression of thermogenic genes.

Oxidative stress disturbs the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and the detoxification biological process.It plays an important role in the development and progression of many chronic diseases.Upon exposure to oxidative stress or the inducers of ROS,the cellular nucleus undergoes some biological processes via different signaling pathways,such as stress adaption through the forkhead box O signaling pathway,inflammatory response through the IκB kinase/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway,hypoxic response via the hypoxia-inducible factor/prolyl hydroxylase domain proteins pathway,DNA repair or apoptosis through the p53 signaling pathway,and antioxidant response through the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1/nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 signaling pathway.These processes are involved in many diseases.Therefore,oxidative stress has gained more attraction as a targeting process for disease treatment.Meanwhile,anti-oxidative stress agents have been widely explored in pre-clinical trials.However,only limited clinical trials are performed to evaluate the efficacy of anti-oxidative stress agents or antioxidants in diseases.In this letter,we further discuss the current clinical trials related to anti-oxidative stress treatment in different diseases.More pre-clinical studies and clinical trials are expected to use anti-oxidative stress strategies as disease treatment or dietary supplementation to improve disease treatment outcomes.

Phosphorus(P)is involved in various biochemical reactions in plant growth,so it is beneficial to plants growing in soils contaminated by metals,including cadmium(Cd).However,few studies have reported on the mechanistic roles of P in mitigating Cd toxicity to ryegrass root,and especially in alleviating the disruption of the mitochondrial function of living cells.In this study,the physiological and biochemical mechanisms associated with ryegrass growth under various Cd and P treatments were investigated using leaching and pot systems.The concentration of Cd in soil leachates showed a significantly positive relationship with redox potential(P<0.05),but negative relationship(P<0.05)with leachate pH values and dissolved organic carbon(DOC),indicating that exogenous P addition(as H_(2)PO_(4)*)may decrease Cd leaching from contaminated soil.Compared to the control(without P addition),the cumulative Cd content was reduced by 53.3%and 64.5%in the soil leachate with exogenous P application(20 mg/L and 80 mg/L),respectively.Notably,application of P decreased the Cd concentrations in the symplastic fractions and increased the Cd concentrations in the apoplastic fractions in root tips,which may help to alleviate Cd stress to the protoplast.Moreover,exogenous P was found to play a positive role in mitochondrial function and Ca^(2+)variation in root cells under Cd stress,which provides novel insights into the mechanisms of exogenous P in alleviating plant Cd injury.

This paper introduces an improvement to electrochemical drilling process by coupling flow field and electric field in pulsating state. A novel tube with half-wedged shape at the end(HW-tube) is prepared, with both sidewall and wedged part of the HW-tube insulated. Only the flat part is utilized to provide electric field for electrochemical drilling. By rotating the HW-tube, both flow field and electric field in pulsating state are generated, alternating in different positions within the inter-electrode gap(IEG). The pulsating flow field enhances the mass transfer process, while pulsating electric field disperses material dissolution process and distribution of electrolytic byproducts. Both pulsating fields are coupled at the same frequency, further enhancing the electrochemical drilling process. Simulation results indicate that both flow field and electric field in pulsating state are generated. Compared to the traditional tube, the HW-tube significantly reduces the number of residual particles in IEG, and this number is further reduced by increasing the rotation speed. Experimental results reveal that the surface quality and dimensional uniformity of small hole are improved with HW-tube. With feed rate of 2.22 mm/min, a small hole with diameter of 1.52± 0.017 mm is drilled, resulting in a surface roughness of 0.331 μm.

The reactor-regenerator loop is the core facility of the maximizing iso-paraffin(MIP)process.Although the discrete particle method(DPM)simulation can provide detailed information at the particle scale,it has been unable to simulate such a complex loop system due to limitations of coarse-grained(CG)models,computing software,and hardware.In this study,a newly proposed soft-shell CG-DPM model with a CG ratio of up to 800 is used to simulate a 3.5 Mt/a industrial-scale MIP reactor-regenerator loop.The solid fraction distribution obtained is found to agree well with in-situ measurements.Hydrodynamic properties including the distribution of solid fraction,gas and solid velocity,standard derivation of solid fraction with time,temporal distribution of the flow field,and particle residence time distribution are measured in the simulation,which are meaningful to better design and operate such systems in the future.

Video harmonization is an important step in video editing to achieve visual consistency by adjusting foreground appear-ances in both spatial and temporal dimensions.Previous methods always only harmonize on a single scale or ignore the inaccuracy of flow estimation,which leads to limited harmonization performance.In this work,we propose a novel architecture for video harmoniza-tion by making full use of spatiotemporal features and yield temporally consistent harmonized results.We introduce multiscale harmon-ization by using nonlocal similarity on each scale to make the foreground more consistent with the background.We also propose a fore-ground temporal aggregator to dynamically aggregate neighboring frames at the feature level to alleviate the effect of inaccurate estim-ated flow and ensure temporal consistency.The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method over other state-of-the-art methods in both quantitative and visual comparisons.

Ergothioneine,Ovothiol,and Selenoneine are sulfur/selenium-containing histidine-derived natural products widely distributed across different organisms.They exhibit significant antioxidant properties,making them as potential lead compounds for promoting health.Increasing evidence suggests that Ergothioneine is positively correlated with healthy ageing and longevity.The mechanisms underlying Ergothioneine's regulation of the ageing process at cellular and molecular levels are beginning to be understood.In this review,we provide an in-depth and extensive coverage of the anti-ageing studies on Ergothioneine and discuss its possible intracellular targeting pathways.In addition,we highlight the recent efforts in elucidating the biosynthetic details for Ergothioneine,Ovothiol,and Selenoneine,with a particular focus on the study of their pharmacophore-forming enzymology.

Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism by which curcumin affects renal interstitial fibrosis（RIF） progression by regulating ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 18（ADAMTS18） methylation. Methods: NRK-49F cells RIF model were induced with transforming growth factor β1（TGF-β1）. Effects of different concentrations of curcumin（0, 10, 20, and 30 μmol/L） on cell proliferation, cell cycle, cell apoptosis as well as cyclin D1 expression were analyzed by cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry and Western blot, respectively. ADAMTS18 methylation levels were determined by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. ADAMTS18, fibronectin（FN）, type Ⅰ collagen（Col-Ⅰ） and alpha-smooth muscle actin（α-SMA） mRNA and protein expressions were analyzed by real-time PCR（RT-PCR） and Western blot, respectively. Meanwhile, cells were treated with 50 mmol/L 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine（5-aza-dC, demethylation agent） for 72 h. Effect of curcumin on extracellular matrix（ECM） deposition was evaluated by immunochemical staining and Western blot. NRK-49F cells were transfected with ADAMTS18 small interfering RNA and grouped into a normal control, ADAMTS18-knock-out（KO）, and ADAMTS18-KO+ 30 μmol/L curcumin groups, and whether curcumin can reverse the effect of ADAMTS18 knockdown on RIF was evaluated. Results: Compared with the control group, TGF-β1 significantly inhibited the proliferation of NRK-49F cells, blocked the G1/G0phase, promoted cell apoptosis and inhibited cyclin D1 expression（P<0.01）. Among the different concentrations of curcumin, 30 μmol/L curcumin significantly reversed these processes（P<0.01）. Immunochemical staining and Western blot results showed that curcumin significantly inhibited the deposition of FN, Col-Ⅰ and α-SMA（P<0.01）. Curcumin and 5-zaz-dC had synergistic effects, promoting ADAMTS18 expression, removing ADAMTS18 methylation, and reducing ECM deposition. ADAMTS18 knockdown promoted ECM accumulation, and curcumin reversed this process（P<0.01）. Conclusion: TGF-β1 induced fibrosis in NRK-49F cells.

In the coming decades,the space-based gravitational-wave(GW)detectors such as Taiji,TianQin,and LISA are expected to form a network capable of detecting millihertz GWs emitted by the mergers of massive black hole binaries(MBHBs).In this work,we investigate the potential of GW standard sirens from the Taiji-TianQin-LISA network in constraining cosmological parameters.For the optimistic scenario in which electromagnetic(EM)counterparts can be detected,we predict the number of detectable bright sirens based on three different MBHB population models,i.e.,popⅢ,Q3d,and Q3nod.Our results show that the TaijiTianQin-LISA network alone could achieve a constraint precision of 0.9%for the Hubble constant,meeting the standard of precision cosmology.Moreover,the Taiji-TianQin-LISA network could effectively break the cosmological parameter degeneracies generated by the CMB data,particularly in the dynamical dark energy models.When combined with the CMB data,the joint CMB+Taiji-TianQin-LISA data offerσ(w)=0.036 in the wCDM model,which is close to the latest constraint result obtained from the CMB+SN data.We also consider a conservative scenario in which EM counterparts are not available.Due to the precise sky localizations of MBHBs by the Taiji-TianQin-LISA network,the constraint precision of the Hubble constant is expected to reach 1.2%.In conclusion,the GW standard sirens from the Taiji-TianQin-LISA network will play a critical role in helping solve the Hubble tension and shedding light on the nature of dark energy.
