The role of clinical and anamnestic data in the primary diagnosis of genital endometrios by T. V. Skapchuk, I. V. Kalinovska

“…The description of pain symptoms is quite limited, since the assessment of the characteristic symptoms of genital endometriosis did not include: conducting additional examinations in order to exclude additional causes of functional pain in the pelvis, the description of pain symptoms was incomplete, which, in turn, minimized the assessment of the adverse impact on daily activities, work or the quality of life in general, characteristic of pain symptoms, there is no clear difference between chronic pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea, the absence of data regarding the work of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary system, regarding the symptoms of genital endometriosis, which may indicate damage to the above-mentioned departments.…”

Design and Application of Reliability Calculation Program Based on Secondary Development of ABAQUS by ZOU Hong, WU Jian, XU Zhichun, YANG Li

“…As a kind of finite element analysis software,ABAQUS is widely used in nonlinear simulation field,but there is no universal and mature reliability calculation module.Therefore,it is necessary to establish a general reliability calculation program for Monte Carlo simulation based on finite element model to meet the automation requirements of reliability calculation of various structures in ABAQUS.This paper firstly puts forward the design idea and main functions of reliability calculation program in ABAQUS,including random number generation,model batch building,automatic result extraction and so on;then,develops the pre-processing and post-processing modules of ABAQUS with Python language for modularizing the main functions of the program;finally,introduces the application method of this reliability calculation program in detail taking the reliability calculation process of the finite element model of a simply supported steel truss bridge as an example.This reliability calculation program can effectively improve the degree of automation in the process of structural reliability calculation,and reduce the calculation time,which has great reference value in engineering application.…”

Integrated Multi-Omics Profiling Identifies PDZ-Binding Kinase (PBK) as a Novel Prognostic Biomarker in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Zhang J, Xu Y, Ni X, Mao Z, Xiao H, Chen M, Lin Y, Pan J, Zhang B, Zhang L, Zheng X, Song G, Ge N

“…Patients exhibiting with combined PBK overexpression and high TMB demonstrated the poorest prognosis. Functional validation confirmed that PBK knockdown significantly inhibited Huh7 cell migration capacity (P &lt; 0.05). scRNA-seq analysis showed PBK-enriched tumors contained elevated proportions of immunosuppressive SPP1(+) macrophages (22.33% vs 6.6%, FDR corrected P &lt; 0.001) and CD8(+) SLC4A10(+) MAIT cells (9.82% vs 4.7%, FDR corrected P &lt; 0.001).Conclusion: PBK synergistically drives HCC progression through three synergistic mechanisms: (1) promoting oncogenic mutation accumulation (eg, TP53), (2) increasing metastatic potential, and (3) reprogramming an immune-suppressive microenvironment enriched for SPP1(+) macrophages and CD8(+)SLC4A10(+) MAIT cells. …”

Identifying method for opinion leaders in social network based on competency model by Bo CHEN, Xiang-yan TANG, Ling YU, Ya-shang LIU

“…A competency model of opinion leaders in social networks is presented，which includes three capacity factors，some explicit and implicit behavioral indicators.These characteristics of information production，information dissemination and information influence which opinion leaders should have.Based on the proposed competency model，social network users into four categories which divided:the general public，the activists，the topic opinion leaders and network opinion leaders.Then a hierarchical filtering process is designed and a system framework of filtering experimental for identifying opinion leaders is introduced.It takes the data extracted from the Sina microblog as input，then integrates some social network analysis tools such as MALLET，and develops the programs for specific functions with Python.Eventually，the opinion leaders of microblog can be identified.The experiment results prove the effectiveness of present competency model for opinion leaders and the feasibility of hierarchical filtering process.…”
