Nutritional Status and Body Composition in Wilson Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study From China.

Background: Abnormal nutritional status is frequently seen in patients with chronic diseases. To date, no study has investigated the detailed characteristics of abnormal nutritional status among Wilson's disease (WD) patients in the Chinese cohort. This study aimed to describe the nutritional status of WD patients, with a particular focus on the differences between patients with different phenotypes.Methods: The study subjects comprised 119 healthy controls, 129 inpatients (hepatic subtype, n = 34; neurological subtype, n = 95) who were being treated at the affiliated hospital of the Institute of Neurology, Anhui University of Chinese Medicine. All of the subjects were assessed for body composition by using bioelectrical impedance analysis. All WD patients received anthropometry, nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002), and laboratory test (hemocyte and serum biomarkers) additionally.Results: Compared with healthy controls, the fat mass and rate of total body and trunk were significantly higher in WD patients (P < 0.001), the muscle and skeletal muscle mass of total body and trunk were significantly lower in WD patients (P < 0.001). Compared with hepatic subtype patients, the fat mass and rate of total body, trunk, and limbs were significantly lower in neurological subtype patients (P<0.01); while there were no significant differences in muscle and skeletal muscle between these two subtypes. The overall prevalence of abnormal nutritional status in WD patients was 43.41% (56/129). The prevalence of high-nutritional risk and overweight in WD patients was 17.83% (23 of 129) and 25.58% (33 of 129), respectively. Compare with patients with high nutritional risk, macro platelet ratio, alkaline phosphatase, the basal metabolic rate (p < 0.05), creatinine, trunk fat rate (p < 0.01) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (p < 0.001) were significantly higher in patients without nutritional risk (p < 0.001). Patients with a high nutritional risk tend to have a lower cholinesterase concentration (x2 = 4.227, p < 0.05).Conclusion: Both patients with H-subtype and N-subtype are prone to have an abnormal nutritional status. Longitudinal studies are required to investigate if nutritional status and body composition could reflect prognosis in WD patients, and which of these body composition indexes contribute to malnutrition and worse prognosis.

Magnetic moment predictions of odd-A nuclei with the Bayesian neural network approach * *Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (11675063, 11875070, 11205068) and the Open fund for Discipline Construction, Institute of Physical Science and Information Technology, Anhui University

The Bayesian neural network approach has been employed to improve the nuclear magnetic moment predictions of odd-A nuclei. The Schmidt magnetic moment obtained from the extreme single-particle shell model makes large root-mean-square (rms) deviations from data, i.e., 0.949 and 1.272 for odd-neutron nuclei and odd-proton nuclei, respectively. By including the dependence of the nuclear spin and Schmidt magnetic moment, the machine-learning approach precisely describes the magnetic moments of odd-A nuclei with rms deviations of 0.036 for odd-neutron nuclei and 0.061 for odd-proton nuclei. Furthermore, the evolution of magnetic moments along isotopic chains, including the staggering and sudden jump trend, which are difficult to describe using nuclear models, have been well reproduced by the Bayesian neural network (BNN) approach. The magnetic moments of doubly closed-shell nuclei, for example, isoscalar and isovector magnetic moments, have been well studied and compared with the corresponding non-relativistic and relativistic calculations.

Practical Teaching System Reform for the Cultivation of Applied Undergraduates in Local Colleges

Practical teaching is an important teaching link in safety engineering. It plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating innovative spirit and practical ability. At present, there is a series of problems in practical teaching of safety engineering in China, such as the incomplete practical teaching system, the substandard teaching organization, and the lack of funds. Drawing on the best practice of Anhui University of Science &amp; Technology (AUST), this paper puts forward a basket of measures to cultivate the practical and innovative abilities of students in safety engineering. The specific measures include developing “peak” disciplines, fusing multi-discipline theories, setting up school-enterprise cooperation platforms, deepening second-classroom education, and promoting institutional construction. Our measures help local colleges to train advanced safety engineering talents with practical and innovative abilities.

Establishing the text of theOdes: the Anhui University bamboo manuscript

AbstractIn this article we review the newly published fourth-centurybcemanuscript of the Book of Odes (Shi jing詩經) in the collection of Anhui University. We describe the preservation and material features of the manuscript, discuss issues of provenance, and compare the text with the received version of theOdes. We conclude that the text of theOdeswas already fundamentally stable by the date of the manuscript, and that written versions like the Anda manuscript provided important support for the stability of the text. However, we also argue that the manuscript shows signs of having been produced from memory, rather than sight-copying from another manuscript. We suggest that the function of the Anda manuscript was to support the learning and memorization of theOdes.

Analysis of the Effect of Trastuzumab Combined with Docetaxel on Serum Tumor Markers in the Treatment of HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer and Factors Influencing Therapeutic Efficacy.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of trastuzumab (TZ) combined with docetaxel (DTX) on serum tumor markers (TMs) in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER-2+) breast cancer (BC) and to analyze the factors influencing therapeutic efficacy.MethodsNinety-six patients with HER-2+ BC treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University Of Science and Technology from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected. According to different treatment plans, the patients were divided into two arms with 48 cases each. The control group (CG) was treated with DTX, and the research group (RG) was given TZ combined with DTX (TZ+DTX). The two arms were compared regarding the following aspects: curative effects, adverse reaction, alterations of TMs and inflammatory factors (IFs), and quality of life. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting the efficacy of patients.ResultsAfter treatment, the TMs carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 and CA15-3 were significantly lower in RG compared with CG. The levels of IFs C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were also lower in CG. The overall response rate and the Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score were significantly higher in RG. No evident difference was observed in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two arms. The high expression of CEA, CA125 and CA15-3 as well as DTX monotherapy increased the risk of adverse prognosis.ConclusionTZ+DTX can effectively improve the clinical efficacy of HER-2+ BC patients and reduce their levels of serum TMs and IFs.

L2 Learner Cognitive Psychological Factors About Artificial Intelligence Writing Corrective Feedback

Although the study of artificial intelligence (AI) used in language teaching and learning is increasingly prevailing, research on language two (L2) learner cognitive psychological factors about AI writing corrective feedback (WCF) is scarce. This paper explores L2 learner cognitive psychology of pigai, an AI evaluating system for English writings in China, from perspectives of perception, noticing, uptake, initiative, retention and emotion. It investigates the consistency between learner cognitive psychology about AI WCF and the expected one and probes into the correlation of learner cognitive psychological factors about AI WCF, aiming at bridging the gap between the research of AI WCF and that of L2 learner cognitive psychology. After a 5-point Likert anonymous questionnaire survey of 1952 undergraduate L2 learners in Anhui University of Finance and Economics (AUFE), the statistical data of Pearson correlation coefficient indicate that learner perception, noticing, uptake, initiative, retention and emotion are positively related in the context of AI WCF, which conforms to the early research of learner cognitive psychology about WCF. But one sample t-test reveals that learner cognitive psychology of AI WCF only occasionally or sometimes consists with the expected one. The subsequent random interviews with 15 respondents suggest that pigai WCF is beneficial to L2 writing, yet there is still much room for it to improve to be deeply integrated with human WCF.&amp;nbsp;

The final section of this article introduces the philological value of this find.

Beyond emotion: online takeaway food consumption is associated with emotional overeating among Chinese college students.

Online takeaway food has become very popular in China. However, the potential effects of online takeaway food consumption on eating behaviours among individuals during the transition stage from adolescence to young adulthood have not yet been assessed. This study aimed to examine the effects of takeaway food consumption on emotional overeating behaviour among college students. Data were collected from 1450 college students from six universities in Anhui, China. The frequency of emotional overeating during the past 4weeks was assessed by the emotional overeating questionnaire (EOQ). Data on the frequency of online takeaway food consumption and other potential risk factors at the individual, interpersonal, physical environment, and macro-system levels were assessed by questionnaire. Multilevel linear regression analyses were employed to explore the association between takeaway food consumption and emotional overeating behaviour. Compared to those who consumed online takeaway food less than 1day per week, participants who consumed this food 4-5days per week and participants who consumed this food 6-7days per week had significantly higher EOQ scores (β = 0.14, p < 0.05 and β = 0.67, p < 0.001, respectively). More frequent consumption was associated with higher EOQ scores (p for trend < 0.001). A higher frequency of takeaway food consumption was associated with an elevated risk of emotional overeating among college students independent of personal emotional status and other potential confounders at the interpersonal, physical environmental and macro-system levels. Level V; cross-sectional descriptive study.

Conductive Inks with 3D Conductive Networks of Polyaniline Crystals Nanofibers

A series of Polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles doped with citric acid were synthesized by situ polymerization. It is interesting that uniform nanofibers with the diameter of 50 nm formed under a proper mass ratio (aniline:citric acid) of 5:4, which forms 3D conductive networks. XRD patterns show the nanofibers have sharp peaks, corresponding to high crystallinity. The nanofibers were selected for preparation of PANI ink with Polyethylene Glycol (PEG, Mn = 698), Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (PSS, Mn = 70,000). The good electric conductivity of PANI conductive ink is 6.49 × 10−3 S/cm, where PANI inks of Anhui University of Science and Technology university was stamped in A4 paper for good printing performance acting as electronic circuit line turning on a LED light. Moreover, the effects such as the content of citric acid and PSS on the conductivity of PANI powder and also discussed.

Simulation and evaluation of low-impact development practices in university construction: A case study of Anhui University of Science and Technology

The development of “sponge cities” is a new trend in Chinese urban construction that can effectively alleviate urban flood disasters, reduce non-point-source pollution, and promote the recycling of rainwater resources. Constructing a sponge city generally includes the application of low-impact development (LID) practices. In this study, some different LID practices (vegetative swales, sunken green spaces, rain barrels and combined methods) were applied on Anhui University of Science and Technology (AUST) for various rainfall return periods. A framework for simulating LID practices at AUST was created, and the impacts of LID practices on water quantity were simulated with the SWMM model. In the meantime, the cost-effectiveness of different LID facilities was quantified and analyzed in the runoff mitigation and pollutant removal. The results indicate that LID practices can effectively reduce runoff and peak flow and delay peak times. Overall, the constructions of sunken green spaces and combined LID measures greatly reduced peak flow, with a reduction rate >35%. Furthermore, vegetative swales, sunken green spaces, and combined LID practices were all able to effectively remove pollutants by treating and reducing runoff. We found that the cost per unit was the lowest for vegetative swales, making to the most cost-effective and an ideal LID structure for comprehensively removing non-point-source pollutants. Meanwhile, sunken green spaces were the most effective means of pollution control. Thus, our findings can provide guidance for improving the environmental conditions and impacts of university towns. In the construction of such towns in the future, LID practices should be implemented, with preference given to vegetative swales. In areas for which there is a need for high runoff and pollution control, the use of sunken green spaces should be considered.

Intestinal Flora Disorder by Smoking Aggravation Inflammatory Reaction of Sepsis Through Regulation of the Mitochondrial Damage Through NLRP3 Inflammasome by FFAR2

Background: Sepsis is a common critical illness in ICU and always a great difficulty in clinical treatment, is associated with intestinal flora disorder. However, the biological contribution of chronic smoking on intestinal flora disorder of sepsis has not been previously investigated. We investigated the mechanisms by which intestinal flora disorder by smoking, a possible role for distinguish sepsis, contributes to the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced inflammatory reaction. Methods: We performed studies with mice were induced to sepsis by Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), CLP mice were raised with intestinal flora disorder (OM, orally microbiome) by smoking. Lung tissues and cell samples were analyzed by histology, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blot. Findings: Smoking significantly brought about intestinal flora disorder in sepsis model. Intestinal flora disorder by smoking promoted the risk of sepsis-induced inflammatory reactions. Intestinal flora disorder by smoking reduced short chain fatty acid (SCFAs) to open ROS-dependently mitochondrial damage in macrophage of sepsis model via the activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome by FFAR2/STAT3/ EBP50/Nox1/p47phox signal channel. Interpretation: These findings identify smoking-induced intestinal flora disorder as a possible important pathogenic factors of sepsis and may shed lights on understanding how sepsis-induced inflammation reaction.

A First Reading of the Anhui University Bamboo-Slip Shi Jing

Abstract In September, 2019, Anhui University published the first volume of Warring States bamboo-slip manuscripts in its collection. The bamboo slips were purchased by the university in 2015 on the antique market. This volume contains ninety-three slips that correspond with all of or portions of fifty-seven poems in the Guo feng 國風 (Airs of the States) section of the Shi jing 詩經 (Classic of Poetry). The manuscript is written in the script of the ancient state of Chu 楚, and thus presumably was robbed from a tomb somewhere in the territory of that state. This preliminary study of the manuscript presents close readings of six representative poems, comparing the versions in the manuscript with those of the received text. It concludes with consideration of how to understand the textual variants apparent in the manuscript, and also the significance of the manuscript for the composition and especially the transmission of the Shi jing in the pre-Qin period.

Some Minor Insights from Reading the Anhui University Warring States Bamboo Slips of the Classic of Poetry

Abstract This article discusses three topics. First, it discusses the line “I could not fill my slanting basket” 不盈頃筐 in the poem “Juan er” 卷耳. The Anhui University Bamboo Slip version’s qing 頃 (slanting) is written . This, as with the Chu Silk Manuscript character, should be explained as qi 攲 (lopsided). Second, regarding the line “Do you not understand me?” 不諒人只 in the poem “Bai zhou” 柏舟 of the Yong Airs 鄘風 section, the Anhui University Bamboo Slip version of liang 諒 (understanding) is written jing 京. This character should be understood as qiang 強 in the sense of “coerce/force” 強迫. In the line “Supporting King Wu” 涼彼武王 in the poem “Da ming” 大明 of the Major Elegantiae 大雅, liang 涼 is similarly explained as 強 in the sense of “coerce” 威強. These two characters have always been traditionally glossed as either “trust” 信 or “assist” 佐. Third, regarding the line “… it cannot be recited” 不可讀也 of the poem “Qiang you ci” 牆有茨, du 讀 (reciting) in the Han Poetry 韓詩 is glossed in the sense of “record and narrate” 記述, which is superior to the traditional gloss.

A Re-examination of the Controversy over the Oral and Written Nature of the Classic of Poetry’s Early Transmission, Based on the Anhui University Manuscript

Abstract Based on the newly discovered Anhui University manuscript, the paper re-examines the controversy over the oral and written nature of the Classic of Poetry’s early transmission. The paper argues that the Anda Shi jing serves to prove, first, that at the time of the manuscript (mid-Warring States period), or even earlier, the Shi jing was already not only an independent text, but had already been written down, and second, that the Anda Shi jing is a “manuscript,” and what is more there are various traces showing that it was a “copy,” such that it could not have been produced in an oral context.

Misplacement, Re-Edition or Funerary Object: On the Textual Features of the Anhui Shijing Manuscript and Its Value

Abstract There are numerous discrepancies between the Anhui University Shijing Manuscript and Mao Shi 毛詩. These discrepancies are not due to misplacement or re-editing, but result from the use of the Anda Shijing as a funerary object. However, this is not to discredit the significance of the Anda Shijing, which still has exegetical, philological, hermeneutical and paleographical value.
