Optimized Multi-Level Security for Content Contribution and Retrieval in Online Social Networks using a Content Visualization Mechanism

Online social networks have become an integral part of modern communication, providing platforms for users to share personal information, media, and opinions. However, these platforms face significant challenges in preserving user privacy while ensuring efficient data retrieval and maintaining data integrity. Existing privacy preservation methods, such as PPK-MEANS, CFCAF, and CLDPP, are limited in their ability to handle the growing complexity and scale of user data, often leading to inefficiencies such as high Content Retrieval Time (CRT), increased Information Loss (IL), and compromised data accuracy. These inefficiencies are crucial to address, as they can degrade the user experience by causing delays, compromising data integrity, and limiting system scalability. High CRT frustrates users, while increased IL reduces data accuracy, undermining trust and system reliability. The primary issue addressed in this study is the need for an advanced privacy-preserving mechanism that can provide multilevel security while maintaining optimal system performance. To overcome these limitations, the Layered Secure Online Collaborative Verification (LSOCV) algorithm is proposed, designed to offer a scalable solution with tiered privacy controls based on user requirements. LSOCV enhances Privacy Retrieval Accuracy (PRA), significantly reduces CRT, and minimizes IL. The experimental results show that LSOCV achieved a PRA of 91.97%, reduced CRT to 7ms, and decreased IL by up to 8% for 500KB files, outperforming existing approaches. This method provides robust privacy protection and efficient data handling on social networks, with the potential for future application in big data environments, such as Hadoop, to ensure scalable, secure, and efficient privacy-preserving solutions.

The Clinical Significance and Prognostic Value of ALDH1 Expression in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

The results of the association between aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1) expression and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are contradictory. We conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the clinical significance and prognostic value of ALDH1 in NSCLC. The databases PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and CNKI were systematically queried to identify eligible studies. The retrieval time was from database establishment to August 2023. We evaluated the correlation between ALDH1 expression and clinical features of NSCLC by employing odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). In addition, we used hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs to evaluate the role of ALDH1 expression in the prognosis of NSCLC. Our study included 21 literatures involving 2721 patients. The expression of ALDH1 in NSCLC was higher than that in normal tissues (OR = 6.04, 95% CI: 1.25-29.27, P = 0.026). The expression of ALDH1 was related to TNM stage (OR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.06-3.09, P = 0.029), tumor grade (OR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.17-0.48, P < 0.0001), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.60, 95% CI: 1.52-4.45, P = 0001) and histological subtype (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.52-0.86, P = 0.002). In patients with NSCLC, we found that the over-expression of ALDH1 was significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.15-1.81, P = 0.002) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.45-2.10, P < 0.0001). The expression of ALDH1 is closely associated with the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of NSCLC. ALDH1 may serve as a valuable clinical assessment tool and prognostic predictor in NSCLC.

Vessel deviation during stent retrieval predicts successful recanalization in stent-based mechanical thrombectomy for M2 occlusion.

This study aimed to clarify whether there is a relationship between vessel deviation during stent retrieval and successful recanalization in stent-based mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for M2 occlusion. The video of the MT was reviewed for each of the 25 included patients with M2 occlusion. The vertical distance of vessel deviation at the time of stent retrieval was defined as D, and the diameter of the balloon guide catheter shown on the same screen was defined as B. The D/B ratio was calculated as an index of the vessel deviation. The presence or absence of successful recanalization (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) score of 2b/3) was compared based on the D/B ratio and clinical factors. Of the 25 patients, successful recanalization was achieved in 18 (72%). The median D/B ratio with successful recanalization was 0.9, which was significantly lower than that without successful recanalization (2.5, p < 0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). Combined aspiration catheters were used in 24 cases. In nine (36%) cases, the tip of the aspiration catheter was in M2 during stent retrieval. The median D/B ratio with the position of the aspiration catheter tip in M1 or the internal carotid artery was 1.5, which was significantly higher than that with the position in M2 (0, p = 0.003, Mann-Whitney U test). In stent-based MT for M2 occlusion, cases in which successful recanalization was achieved showed less vessel deviation during stent retrieval. To reduce vessel deviation, advancing the combined aspiration catheter up to M2 is useful.

Implementation and Impact of RFID Technology in Tool Control for Aircraft Maintenance

Efficient tool tracking and management are critical in Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations, particularly in aviation, where compliance, safety, and operational efficiency are paramount. This study evaluates the implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in tool control within Philippine MRO facilities, addressing challenges in tool retrieval, loss prevention, and accountability. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative feedback from maintenance personnel to assess RFID’s impact on tool tracking. Data were collected on retrieval times, tool loss rates, and inventory accuracy, while interviews and surveys provided insights into user satisfaction and challenges encountered. Key findings indicate an 83% reduction in tool retrieval time, a 70% decrease in tool loss incidents, and an 85% improvement in inventory accuracy, underscoring RFID’s effectiveness in enhancing operational efficiency and compliance. Despite the benefits, challenges such as initial costs, technical issues, and the need for comprehensive training were identified. This study highlights RFID’s transformative potential in aviation maintenance, particularly for developing markets, and recommends phased implementation, ongoing training, and system updates to optimize performance. Future research should examine RFID’s long-term cost-effectiveness and adaptability in other aviation maintenance contexts.

Abstract 4128599: Facility-level Variation Underlying Low Inferior Vena Cava Filter Retrieval in the United States

Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are commonly implanted in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) who are unable to receive anticoagulation, to protect against clot migration to the heart. With prolonged implantation, IVC filters are associated with complications: device fracture, migration, penetration into adjacent organs and worsened VTE. Two Federal Drug Administration advisories and multi-society guidelines have emphasized the importance of timely retrieval but national retrieval rates remain low (&lt;30%). Aims: To quantify hospital-level variation in IVC filter retrieval , describe time-based retrieval rates and examine factors associated with retrieval. Methods: IVC Filter implantation for all patients &gt;= 18 years was identified in the 2016-2020 inpatient and outpatient 100% limited data set Medicare files using claims codes. Hospital information for the implanting facility was cross-linked from the American Hospital Association and Healthcare Cost Report Information System files, including identifying information, teaching status, census location, operating margin and % uncompensated care. IVC filter retrieval rates and time to retrieval from implantation was calculated. Bayesian hospital profiling methods were used to quantify 1-year retrieval rate for all U.S. facilities, adjusting for patient factors – demographics, diagnostic indications and comorbidities. Results: Among Medicare beneficiaries, there were 140,481 IVC Filter implantations across 2,850 facilities. Excluding patients who died within 90 days of implantation (25.7%), retrieval rates at 3 months, 1 year and anytime were 7.9%, 18.7% and 20.0% respectively. IVC Filter retrieval within 1 year varied significantly at the facility-level, from 0-100% . Focusing on facilities with at least 13 IVC filter implantations each year (top 25%ile volume), 1-year retrieval ranged from 0 to 74.5%. Higher 1-year retrieval was seen among higher implantation volume (12.4% bottom quartile, 20.5% top quartile), teaching (21.1% teaching vs. 16.9% nonteaching) and non-safety net (21.1% low uncompensated care, 15.0% high uncompensated care) hospitals. Retrieval rates did not vary significantly by hospital operating margin or rurality. Conclusion(s): There is low overall IVC filter retrieval in the United States with large underlying facility-level variation. Focused examination of high-performing facilities could yield insights on how to improve device retrieval nationally.

Abstract 4115543: Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Technique for Extraction of Micra TM Leadless Pacemaker with Aveir TM Retrieval Catheter System: An Eight Case series.

Background: Leadless cardiac pacemakers (LCP) have evolved as an excellent alternative to transvenous pacemaker (TVPM) for bradycardia therapy with excellent safety and efficacy outcomes. Micra TM was the first commercially available LCP. The device attaches to the right ventricular myocardium with four Nitinol FlexFix™tines. Its inherent design poses problems with retrievability. This leads to many devices being turned off and left behind in the right ventricle at the end of its life. The Aveir retrieval catheter was recently launched as part of the Aveir family of LCP and has a tri-loop snare re-docking mechanism, steerability, and protective sleeve. Goals: We aim to show the safety and efficacy of using this novel retrieval catheter for extraction of the Micra™ LCP in lieu of abandoning the LCP in the right ventricle. Results: We present a case series of 8 successful retrievals of Micra™ LCP using the Aveir™ retrieval catheter. Four patients had the LCP removed during upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy and the other four had the LCP removed at the time of replacement of the LCP at device end-of-life. The mean age of the cohort was 72.6±9.4 years (62.5% female). The average age of the retrieved LCP was 4 years and 4 months with the oldest device being in place for 7 years and 7 months. Median retrieval time, defined as time from retrieval catheter in to retrieval catheter out, was 4.8±2.4 minutes. In 100% of the cases the LCP was successfully retrieved in its entirety via femoral venous access. There were no intra- or post-procedural complications, including vascular complications, pericardial effusions, right ventricular dysfunction or worsening tricuspid regurgitation. At six months follow up, patients continued to remain free of the above complications. Conclusion: This case series demonstrates the safety and feasibility of using the Aveir™ retrieval catheter for extraction of the Micra™ LCP device in lieu of abandonment. Additional studies should be considered to assess the risk and benefits of abandoning the device in the right ventricle extraction of the LCP with this novel technique. The authors acknowledge the steep learning curve associated with this procedure. Further multicenter analysis of this technique is necessary to determine its generalizability.

Genetic analysis of a blood donor with combined FUT1 and ABO dual blood group gene variants resulting in para-Bombay and A2 subtype blood types and a literature review

To investigate the serological and molecular genetic characteristics of a voluntary blood donor with combined FUT1 and ABO blood group gene variants causing para-Bombay and A2 subtype, and to review relevant literature on para-Bombay blood types carrying alleles such as FUT101W.37 and FUT101W.23. A blood donor with para-Bombay and A2 subtype who participated in voluntary blood donation at the Dongguan Blood Center in August 2023 was selected as the study subject. Serological tests were performed to identify the ABO blood group, Lewis blood group antigens, and unexpected serum antibodies in the donor. Adsorption-elution test was conducted to detect trace antibodies in the blood donor's plasma to trace the A, B and H antigens on the red blood cell surface. Sanger sequencing was carried out to analyze the sequences of the FUT1 and ABO genes. Using keywords such as "para-Bombay" "FUT1*01W.37" and "FUT1*01W.23" both in Chinese and English, relevant literature on para-Bombay blood type subjects carrying FUT1*01W.37 and FUT1*01W.23 alleles was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed databases, and the retrieval time was set as from the establishment of database to December 2022. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Dongguan Blood Center (No. 2022005), and informed consent of blood donation was obtained from the blood donor. Serological testing of the blood donor revealed inconsistent results between forward and reverse ABO blood typing, negative H antigen on the red blood cell surface, Le(a-b+) secretor type for Lewis blood group, and unexpected anti-H antibodies in the plasma, indicating a suspected para-Bombay type. Absorption-elution test suggested the blood type of the blood donor to be para-Bombay and A subtype. Sanger sequencing showed that the donor has harbored homozygous FUT1*(c.35T+c.803A)/(c.35T+c.803A) variant, with the FUT1*(c.35T+c.803A) allele containing a dual nucleotide variant unrecorded by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) FUT1 gene variant database, which was similar to the weakly functional allele of FUT101W. 37(c.803G>A) as recorded by the ISBT database. The ABO genotype was heterozygous ABOA2.05/O.01.02. Combining the results of serological and genetic testing, the blood type of the blood donor was determined to be para-Bombay and A2 subtypes. Literature review has identified a pregnant women from Qingdao carrying the FUT1*01W.37 allele and 2 individuals carrying a heterozygous FUT1*01W.23 allele. This study has discovered a blood donor with coexisting para-Bombay and ABO subtype blood groups. Based on the characteristics of red blood cell surface antigens, the FUT1*01W.37 as classified as an FUT1 null allele.

Clinical and genetic analysis of a case of Triadin knockout syndrome due to variant of TRDN gene and a literature review

To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of a child with Triadin knockout syndrome (TKOS), and to review the relevant literature of TKOS patients due to variants of TRDN gene. A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University on March 19, 2023 due to sudden cardiac arrest 3 days earlier was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples (2 to 3 mL) were collected from the child and her parents for the extraction of genomic DNA and whole exome sequencing (WES). Pathogenic variants were searched from databases such as the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and were assessed based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). Sanger sequencing was carried out for family validation of the pathogenic variants. Using keywords such as "arrhythmias" "TRDN" and "Triadin" both in Chinese and English, relevant literature on TKOS patients due to variants of the TRDN gene was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and PubMed databases, and the time of literature retrieval was set from January 1, 2012 to December 1, 2023. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University (No. 20230097), and informed consent was obtained from the parents of the child. The child had experienced syncope and cardiac arrest after exercise. Electrocardiographic examination revealed QTc interval prolongation, T-wave inversion in precordial leads V1-V3, polymorphic ventricular premature beat (VPB), and ventricular tachycardia (VT) along with increased heart rate. WES and Sanger sequencing revealed that the child has harbored a homozygous c.463del(p.E155Kfs*20) variant of the TRDN gene, for which both of the parents were heterozygous. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variant was classified as pathogenic (PVS1+PM2+PM3). The child was ultimately diagnosed with TKOS. In total 12 publications on TOKS cases caused by TRDN gene variants were retrieved, which involved 30 patients and 28 carriers of single heterozygous variant of the TRDN gene. Among the 30 TKOS patients, 20 had carried homozygous variants of the TRDN gene, and 10 had carried compound heterozygous variants, and all had exhibited significant clinical phenotype of arrhythmia, with most cases had experienced malignant arrhythmia induced by exercise and/or excitement during infancy or early childhood, leading to recurrent syncope and cardiac arrest. Of note, none of the 28 carriers of single heterozygous variant had abnormal clinical phenotype. The homozygous c.463del(p.E155Kfs20) variant of the TRDN gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of cardiac arrest in this child. Above discovery has enriched the mutational spectrum of the TRDN gene.

Asthmatic patients with vitamin D deficiency: Can vitamin D supplementation make a difference.

Asthma is a major public health concern due to its persistent inflammation of the airways. The intricate and widely variable epidemiology of asthma among nations and populations is a result of the interplay between genetic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. This study aims to investigate whether VitD supplementation can reduce the frequency of exacerbations (including the frequency of exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroids and the frequency of exacerbations necessitating trips to the hospital or emergency room, or both) and improve pulmonary function (clinical indicators such as the FEV1% predicted value). Computers were used to search Pubmed, Medline, ISI Web of Science, Embase, Cachrane Library, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and the Wanfang Database. Asthma/asthma, VitD/VitD, lung function/lung function, retrieval time is from database setup to October 8, 2021, to search all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of VitD on human asthma and to retroactively incorporate references to literature were all included in the search criteria. After rigorous screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction of the included literature by two reviewers independently, heterogeneity tests and sensitivity analyses were performed. The findings show that a total of 12 relevant studies meeting the inclusion criteria were finally included, including 649 cases in the experimental group and 646 cases in the control group. VitD intervention reduced the number of asthma exacerbations, including the rate of exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroid therapy and the rate of acute exacerbations requiring emergency department or hospital visits or both. In the outcome of lung function (FEV1% predicted value), it was shown that VitD supplementation improved lung function; in the outcome of serum 25-hydroxyVitD levels, it was shown that VitD supplementation increased serum 25-hydroxyVitD levels.

Effect of warm and cold ischemia on pancreaticoduodenectomy specimen following robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy

BackgroundThe adoption of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has increased in recent years for the treatment of pancreatic head tumors and periampullary lesions. Some potential benefits seem to be demonstrated; however, obtaining specimens through this method can potentially compromise the diagnosis depending on the timing of the specimen retrieval, and the impact of longer perioperative time on ischemia and autolysis of the surgical specimen has not been analyzed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the histological changes associated with timing of specimen retrieval during robotic PD.MethodsA review of histopathology files was performed for all pancreatic specimens collected at our hospital from January 2022 to March 2024. Both warm ischemia time (WIT) and cold ischemia time (CIT) were collected. Histological features related to ischemic damage were evaluated in normal duodenal and pancreatic parenchyma as well as pancreatic tumor, and were graded as: absent, mild, moderate and severe. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine which variables were associated with moderate and severe ischemic changes.ResultsSixty surgical specimens were analyzed: 20 open PD, 17 robotic PD with cold ischemia, and 23 robotic PD. Median total WIT was 182 min (open PD 57 min vs. RPD 190 min vs. RPD-CI 198 min; p < 0.001). Median CIT was 760 min (740–835) in samples stored at 4ºC. Univariate analysis showed that longer intraoperative time, male gender and cold ischemia were associated with pancreatic tissue ischemic changes. In multivariate analysis, cold ischemia was the only independent factor associated with normal pancreatic tissue and tumor tissue moderate and severe ischemic changes.ConclusionsProlonged ischemia time, especially in the case of cold storage, has a strong effect on the degradation of normal and tumor tissue without affecting pathological evaluation. Operative teams should aim to optimize both the duration and efficiency of the surgical procedure, ensuring minimal ischemic time. Simultaneously, pathology departments must be equipped to process pancreatic specimens promptly, with protocols in place to minimize the time between resection and analysis.

Cross-modal similar clinical case retrieval using a modular model based on contrastive learning and k-nearest neighbor search

ObjectiveElectronic health record systems have made it possible for clinicians to use previously encountered similar cases to support clinical decision-making. However, most studies for similar case retrieval were based on single-modal data. The existing studies on cross-modal clinical case retrieval were limited. We aimed to develop a CRoss-Modal Retrieval (CRMR) model to retrieve similar clinical cases recorded in different data modalities. Materials and methodsThe publically available Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Chest X-ray (MIMIC-CXR) dataset was used for model development and testing. The CRMR model was designed as a modular model containing two feature extraction models, two feature transformation models, one feature transformation optimization model, and one case retrieval model. The ability to retrieve similar clinical cases recorded in different data modalities was facilitated by the use of contrastive deep learning and k-nearest neighbor search. ResultsThe average retrieval precision, denoted as AP@k, of the developed CRMR model, were 76.9 %@5, 76.7 %@10, 76.5 %@20, 76.3 %@50, and 77.9 %@100, respectively. Here k is the number of similar cases returned after retrieval. The average retrieval time varied from 0.013 ms to 0.016 ms with k varying from 5 to 100. Moreover, the model can retrieve similar cases with the same multiple radiographic manifestations as the query case. DiscussionThe CRMR model has shown promising cross-modal retrieval performance in clinical case analysis, with the potential for future scalability and improvement in handling diverse disease types and data modalities. The CRMR model has promising potential to aid clinicians in making optimal and explainable clinical decisions.

Musculoskeletal disorders, rehabilitation therapists were selected as search terms, and the author, publication time, prevalence rate, and study type were analyzed. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) tool and The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) were used to evaluate the quality of the literature. Stata 15.0 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 28 literatures were included, including 8039 rehabilitation therapists. Meta-analysis showed that the overall prevalence rate of WMSDs among rehabilitation therapists was 72% (95%CI: 64%-80%). The top 3 annual prevalence rates were lower back (51%, 95%CI: 38%-64%), neck (42%, 95%CI: 30%-54%) and shoulder (32%, 95%CI: 23%-41%). The top 3 weekly prevalence rates were lower back (47%, 95%CI: 28%-65%), neck (35%, 95%CI: 14%-55%) and back (30%, 95% CI: 17%-44%) . Conclusion: The higher prevalence of WMSDs in rehabilitation therapists, especially in the lower back, neck, shoulder and back, may be related to the prolonged stouching posture and the continuous or repeated exertion of the upper limbs.

Meta-analysis of the curative effect of sacral nerve magnetic stimulation on neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury.

The curative effect of sacral nerve magnetic stimulation on the neurogenic bladder (NB) after spinal cord injury (SCI) is unclear. This study made a meta-analysis of the curative effect of sacral nerve magnetic stimulation on the NB after SCI and put forward a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of this disease. The databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, and CBM were searched by computer, and the randomized controlled trials of sacral nerve magnetic stimulation in the treatment of NB after SCI were collected. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to September 25, 2023. Meta-analysis was performed with Stata 15.0 software. This study finally included 10 articles, including 537 patients. Meta-analysis shows that the sacral nerve magnetic stimulation treatment group can effectively improve urodynamics: the maximum bladder capacity increases (mean difference [MD], 40.76 [95% confidence interval (CI), 33.24-48.28]; P ˂ .05), the bladder capacity increases at the beginning of urination (MD, 12.82 [95% CI, 11.02-14.62]; P ˂ .05), and the residual urine volume decreases (MD, -38.08 [95% CI, -51.36 to -24.79]; P˂.05). In the aspect of urination diary, the sacral nerve magnetic stimulation treatment group also has advantages compared with the conventional treatment group: the increase in single urine volume (MD, 22.49 [95% CI, 18.68-26.30]; P˂.05), the maximum urine volume (MD, 32.84 [95% CI, 22.37-43.30]; P˂.05), and the decrease in urination times (MD, -2.23 [95% CI, -3.13 to -1.33]; P˂.05). After the treatment of sacral nerve magnetic stimulation, the quality of life of patients can be improved: quality-of-life score (MD, -0.62 [95% CI, -0.91 to -0.34]; P˂.05). Combined with functional magnetic stimulation of the sacral nerve, routine treatment is superior to routine treatment in improving the clinical symptoms of patients with NB after SCI.

Spatio-temporal grid-based storage method for aerospace operation and control data

Abstract The current aerospace operation and control data system has problems such as difficult integration organization and difficult data retrieval in terms of mission planning efficiency, which limits the development of satellite operation and control systems. This paper is oriented to the organization and management of aerospace operation and control data, according to the nature of the current big data indexing model. Based on the principle of earth dissection, we aim to design a grid that can be indexed. First of all, the Earth is dissected to form a hierarchical and uniformly distributed global geographic grid, and then the formed grid is encoded to store satellite attribute information and orbit data for mission planning. Finally, through the data retrieval experiment, the retrieval time is within 100 milliseconds under ten million pieces of data, which proves that the spatial-temporal grid model has the characteristics of efficient and fast retrieval. It can provide the basic information for satellite mission planning to further improve the efficiency of satellite mission planning and management and the efficiency and quality of satellite mission planning.

The versatile multi-functional substance NMN: its unique characteristics, metabolic properties, pharmacodynamic effects, clinical trials, and diverse applications.

β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a naturally occurring biologically active nucleotide widely present in organisms and an inherent substance in the human body. As a critical intermediate in synthesizing coenzyme I (NAD+), it widely participates in multiple biochemical reactions in the human body and is closely related to immunity, metabolism, and other factors. In recent years, NMN has rapidly developed and made significant progress in medicine, food, and healthcare. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive reports on the research progress of NMN, as well as exploration and analysis of the current research achievements and progress of NMN. Therefore, this review is based on retrieving relevant research on NMN from multiple databases at home and abroad, with the retrieval time from database establishment to 20 May 2024. Subsequently, literature search, reading, key information extraction, organization, and summarization were conducted with the aim of providing a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the characteristics, metabolic pathways, pharmacological effects, progress in human clinical trials, and wide applications of NMN in drug development and food applications. Furthermore, it offers personal insights into NMN's potential future developments and advancements to present the current development state and existing challenges comprehensively. Ultimately, this review aims to provide guidance and serve as a reference for the future application, innovation, and progression of NMN research.

Effects of different treatment measures on the efficacy of diabetic foot ulcers: a network meta-analysis.

Through a network meta-analysis, we compared different treatment measures for patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), assessing their impact on the healing of DFU and ranking them accordingly. We searched the PubMed, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Embase, the WanFang and the WeiPu database. The retrieval time was from database establishment to January 2024, and retrieval entailed subject and free words. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with different treatment measures for DFU were included. Data extraction and evaluation were based on the PRISMA guidelines. Meta-analyses using pairwise and network methods were employed to compare and rank the effectiveness of different treatments for DFU. Ultimately, we included 57 RCTs involving a total of 4,826 patients with DFU. When it comes to ulcer healing rates, compared to standard of care(SOC),platelet-rich plasma(PRP), hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBOT), topical oxygen therapy(TOT), acellular dermal matrix(ADM), and stem cells(SCs) in both direct meta-analysis(DMA) and network meta-analysis(NMA) can effectively increase the complete healing rate. For Scs+PRP, a statistically significant improvement was only observed in the NMA. Moreover, when compared to the negative pressure wound therapy(NPWT) group, the PRP+NPWT group was more effective in promoting the complete healing of ulcers. In terms of promoting the reduction of ulcer area, no statistical differences were observed among various treatment measures. When it comes to ulcer healing time, both PRP and NPWT can effectively shorten the healing time compared to SOC. Furthermore, when compared to the NPWT group, the combined treatment of PRP and ultrasonic debridement(UD) with NPWT is more effective in reducing healing time. In terms of amputation rates and adverse reactions, the PRP group effectively reduced the amputation rate and adverse reactions for patients with DFU. Additionally, compared to the NPWT group, the combined treatment of PRP and UD with NPWT reduced the incidence of adverse reactions. However, no significant differences were observed among other treatment measures in terms of amputation rates and adverse reactions. The ranking results showed that the efficacy of PRP+NPWT and UD+NPWT in promoting ulcer healing, reducing ulcer area, shortening healing time, decreasing amputation rates and adverse reactions is superior to that of the alone PRP group, NPWT group, and UD group. Conversely, the SOC group demonstrates the least effective performance in all aspects. Due to the particularity of the wound of DFU, the standard of care is not effective, but the new treatment scheme has a remarkable effect in many aspects. And the treatment of DFU is not a single choice, combined with a variety of methods often achieve better efficacy, and will not bring more adverse reactions.

Application of edge computing and IoT technology in supply chain finance

This study proposes an IoT data management framework based on blockchain and edge computing and conducts detailed simulation experiment design and performance evaluation for the field of supply chain finance. Previous methods often struggled with high latency, limited scalability, and inadequate risk management, and to address these issues, the experimental platform includes traditional centralized systems, distributed systems, blockchain-based systems, and edge computing + blockchain systems. By monitoring indicators such as data processing delay, data transmission delay, data retrieval time, system throughput, and data integrity of each platform, and introducing evaluation formulas for credit risk, operational risk, and market risk, the performance of different systems in processing supply chain financial data is comprehensively analyzed. The experimental results show that the edge computing + blockchain system performs well in data processing efficiency, security, real-time, and system throughput, especially under high load conditions. Our market risk value is reduced to 0.015. This framework improves the efficiency and security of data transmission and effectively reduces credit risk and operational risk, providing an efficient and reliable solution for data management in supply chain finance.
