The results of this review provide directions for related interventions and future research.High-oil corn is a high-quality variety of corn possessing higher oil content with greater caloric energy than normal corn. Hence, controlling the purity and authenticity of high-oil corn is of great importance in current crop research. The aim of this study is to develop a novel method for corn variety discrimination using Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and signal classification analysis. In brief, the method involves feature extraction and variable selection of raw signals from Terahertz time-domain waveforms (THz-TDW) and absorption spectrum (THz-AS), and the use of classifiers on those treated signals to establish the discrimination models. Principle component analysis (PCA) were used for feature extraction with THz-TDW, while three different methods of variable selection were implemented with THz-AS, including uninformative variables elimination (UVE), uninformative variables elimination-successive projections algorithm (UVE-SPA) and competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS). Then, two classificationriculture research, while expanding the application of THz spectroscopy in the related field.Since 1, 2, 3-Benzotriazole (BTA) is one of the most commonly used metal passivators in transformer oil, on-site and quantitative detection of BTA plays a significant role in fast evaluation of the performance of the insulating oil. Herein, we proposed a cycle-growth synthetic protocol for yielding two-dimensional (2D) plane-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with tunable optical property and controllable interparticle distance, and an extraction material, so called colloidal lignin particles (CLPs), for the fast separation of BTA from oil matrix. After BTA from transformer oil were adsorbed by hydrophilic CLPs, highly reproducible SERS signal of BTA can be obtained by dropping on the substrate. The characteristic Raman shift at 1386 cm-1 of BTA has been selected to establish a good linearity between its relative intensity and concentration in the range of 1-300 mg/L, and the detection limit for BTA was down to 0.12 mg/L. Moreover, the time consumption for the whole detection process of real sample including sample pretreatment and SERS measurements was less than 30 min. It is highly expected that the combination of CLPs with SERS can accomplish the on-site detection of trace BTA in transformer oil.The Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) phenomenon involving photo-induced keto-enol tautomerization is known to cause significant variations in the excited state structures and photophysical properties of certain molecules. Here, the dual emission exhibited by 3,6-dihydroxybenzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid tetraethyl ester has been studied both experimentally and theoretically and it is concluded that the second emission is due to ESIPT in polar protic solvents, while it is due to dianion formation in solvents like DMSO and DMF.

Nursing professional identity is an important factor in the development of nursing education and clinical practice. Career-planning curriculums enable students to learn relevant knowledge and skills in a targeted manner, in addition to achieve career targets. Assessment and analysis of the present situation of Chinese nursing students' career planning and professional identity may provide an important guidance for the improvement of teaching content and quality of the career-planning curriculum. This study aimed to describe nursing students' professional identity, and to find out influences of nursing students' career planning, internship experience, and other factors on professional identity.

A descriptive cross-sectional research method was employed to conduct a questionnaire on 453 full-time junior and senior undergraduate nursing students in China in December 2019.

The average score for nursing students' professional identity was 101.42, which is at a moderately low-level. There was a significantly positive correlation between the level of nursing students' career planning and professional identity (r=0.529, P<0.01). Nursing students' professional identity was also influenced by grade, age, acceptance of career-planning curriculums, and other factors.

The results indicated that the level of professional identity in nursing students is closely associated with their career planning. One strategy to improve this situation is to motivate universities to pay further attention to the effectiveness of career-planning curriculums and, to improve the quality of teaching and guidance system.

The majority of tested compounds possessed moderate cytotoxicity, but inspiringly, we verified that active compound 5d presents an astonishing advantage by inhibiting the adhesion, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma (OS) cells in vitro. Mechanistically, we confirmed 5d inhibited the migration ability of OS cells via the expression of genes related to adhesion, migration, and invasion. This effects of 5d suggest that it can be used as a potential chemotherapeutic drug to some aggressive and/or metastatic cancers, as well as in combination with other clinical anti-cancer drugs. In turn, this could enhance the therapeutic effect or reduce the risk of cell migration.Genetic rearrangements involving the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene create oncogenic drivers for several cancers, including malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM). Here, we report genomic and functional precision oncology profiling on a rare case of a 5-year old patient diagnosed with wide-spread and aggressive MPeM, driven by STRN-ALK rearrangement. We established genomically representative patient-derived cancer cells (PDCs) from the tumor sample and performed high-throughput drug sensitivity testing with 527 oncology compounds to identify potent inhibitors. As expected, the PDCs were overall sensitive to the ALK inhibitors, although the eight different inhibitors tested had variable efficacy. We also discovered other effective inhibitors, such as MEK/ERK inhibitors and those targeting pathways downstream of ALK as well as Bcl-xl inhibitors. RG7388 In contrast, most cytotoxic drugs were not very effective. ALK inhibitors synergized with MEK and PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, highlighting potential combinatorial strategies to enhance drug efficacy and tackle drug resistance.
