摘要Neurodegenerative diseases are increasing in prevalence due largely to aging populations worldwide and improved medical care for the elderly.Currently approved drugs can reduce some of the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases but cannot cure them.Inflammation is involved in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases,and oxidative stress is implicated in neurodegeneration associated with cognitive decline and age-related cognitive impairment.Polyphenols such as curcumin,quercetin,and resveratrol possess potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.Nanoformulations of curcumin and quercetin can optimize their pharmacological effects in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.Nanocarriers play a crucial role in delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier,thereby lowering the risk of peripheral side effects.Various nanoforms have been developed to induce bioavailability and solubility of curcumin and quercetin,including nanoparticles and nanoemulsions.The studies reviewed included 17 using curcumin nanoformulations and seven with quercetin nanoformulations and were tested in widely used animal models of Alzheimer’s disease,Parkinson’s disease,Huntington’s disease,and multiple sclerosis.Many of the curcumin and quercetin nanoformulations brought about improvements in learning and memory in behavioral tests of Alzheimer’s disease models and were effective in reducing oxidative stress in the brain.Both nanocurcumin and nanoquercetin decreased the levels of inflammatory markers in the brain.Nanocurcumin formulations improved motor behavior,gait,and memory in Parkinson’s disease models and increased dopaminergic neurons in the striatum and substantia nigra.Furthermore,nanocurcumin improved locomotor activity,memory,and learning,and the number of dendrites of medium spiny neurons in Huntington’s disease models.Nanocurcumin formulations decreased oxidative stress and inflammation in a model of demyelination.Several important limitations were identified in the studies reviewed and these need to be considered in future studies.Also,clinical trials could be performed using the currently available nanoforms of curcumin and quercetin.
摘要This study aims to develop an accurate and robust machine learning model to predict the carbonation depth of fly ash concrete,overcoming the limitations of traditional predictive methods.Five ensemble-based models,such as adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),categorical boosting(CatBoost),gradient boosting regressor(GBR),hist gradient boosting regressor(HistGBR),and extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),were developed and optimized using 729 high-quality dataset points incorporating seven input parameters,including cement,CO2,exposure time,water-binder ratio,fly ash,curing time,and compressive strength.Several performance evaluation metrics were used to compare the models.The GBR model emerged as the best-performing model,based on high coefficient of determination(R2)values and balanced error metrics across both validation and testing datasets.While all models performed exceptionally well on the training data,GBR demonstrated superior generalization capability,with R2 values of 0.9438 on the validation set and 0.9310 on the testing set.Furthermore,its low mean squared error(MSE),root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute error(MAE),and median absolute error(MdAE)confirmed its robustness and accuracy.Moreover,shapley additive explanations(SHAP)analysis enhanced the interpretability of predictions,highlighting the curing time and exposure time as the most critical drivers of carbonation depth.
摘要Quantifying uncertainty in soil constitutive models is both challenging and essential for improving predictive reliability.While the Bayesian approach offers an effective framework for this purpose,previous studies have primarily focused on uncertainties in input parameters of standard“ideal”constitutive models.However,models such as the Mohr-Coulomb,Cam-Clay,and Modified Cam-Clay are based on simplified assumptions that do not fully capture real soil behaviour,making it impossible for them to match real-world data perfectly.This study introduces a novel Bayesian-based framework that transforms deterministic models into probabilistic ones,allowing for the quantification of model-inherent uncertainty.A modified maximum a posteriori(MAP)estimator is employed,incorporating a penalty term into the negative log-likelihood to form a new loss function,which enhances bias estimates and model reliability.Using this method,three assumptions about the model bias term are evaluated against triaxial test data from Karlsruhe sand and White clay.The results demonstrate that non-constant assumptions about the bias term significantly enhance model performance.Among the models tested,the probabilistic Modified Cam-Clay model with a nonlinear bias assumption exhibits the best performance.Conversely,the probabilistic Mohr-Coulomb model reveals certain limitations,including overpredicted peak deviatoric stress and overfitted volumetric strain,underscoring the need for further refinements.

摘要Large Language Models(LLMs)have been playing a transformative role in natural language understanding and generation,yet adapting LLMs to domain-specific and privacy-sensitive data remains challenging under centralized training.Federated Learning(FL)provides a promising alternative by enabling training LLMs collaboratively without sharing raw data.However,integrating FL and LLMs introduces new challenges,including model size,device heterogeneity,non-IID data,and alignment requirements.This survey offers a structured overview of the federated LLM ecosystem.We present a comprehensive taxonomy encompassing system architectures,advanced data strategies for addressing heterogeneity,and retrieval-augmented generation in federated contexts.Additionally,we review efficient adaptation methods that enable LLM tuning on resource-constrained clients and analyze data security and privacy concerns.We conclude by summarizing emerging applications in healthcare,industry,software engineering,and finance,and by outlining open problems and research opportunities for scalable,secure,and responsible federated LLM deployment.

摘要Global Gridded Crop Models(GGCMs)have been widely used to simulate the impacts of global warming on crop production,but their accuracy in capturing the real-world temperature sensitivity of crop yields remains unclear.Here,we evaluated the performance of eight GGCM emulators(incorporating versus not incorporating cultivar adaptation of crop growing periods at 0.5°×0.5°resolution)in modelling yield sensitivities to 1 K temperature increase(ST)and optimized their ensembles against statistically-inferred STfor maize,rice,and wheat using a Bayesian Model Averaging approach.Our results suggest that multi-GGCM ensembles assuming a fixed crop growing period(i.e.,a gradually temperature-adapted crop cultivar)show higher goodness-of-fit to statistically inferred STthan those assuming a temperature-sensitive growing period for the crops in major food-producing countries.When setting a temperature-adapted growing period instead of a temperature-sensitive growing period in the GGCM ensembles,the R 2 between GGCM-simulated and statistically-inferred STincreased from 0.63 to 0.81 for maize,0.28 to 0.52 for rice,and 0.40 to 0.85 for wheat,meanwhile the RMSE was reduced for all three crops across their respective top 20 producing countries.The crop models may exaggerate historical responses of crop growing periods to climate warming,resulting in an overestimation of yield STfor maize and an underestimation of yield STfor rice and wheat in major food-producing countries.The study highlights the importance of adopting dynamic phenological parameters in GGCM simulations to reflect crop cycle adaptation under global warming.

摘要Flood process simulation in karst basins is challenging due to complex runoff generation and concentration mechanisms,often resulting in low accuracy.This study investigated two typical karst basins(the Maiweng and Liudong river basins)in Guizhou Province,China,and developed two hydrological models for flood simulation:the karst-Xin'anjiang(Karst-XAJ)model,a modified Xin'anjiang(XAJ)hydrological model adapted for karst runoff characteristics,and the long short-term memory(LSTM)deep learning model.Their performances were compared,and their results were integrated using Bayesian model averaging(BMA).The Karst-XAJ model accurately simulated flood peak time and runoff depth but showed limited peak flow accuracy.The LSTM model performed well within a 2-h computational window,with accuracy declining for longer computational windows(3-4 h)yet maintaining a Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient above 0.7.The BMA approach further enhanced simulation accuracy beyond individual models.Overall,both models effectively captured flood dynamics in karst basins,with the LSTM model achieving superior precision.This study offers a novel framework for simulating flood processes in karst regions with complex runoff processes.
摘要Seismic time series forecasting remains challenging due to the nonlinearity,non-stationarity,and noise of earthquake data,and because deep learning models are sensitive to preprocessing and hyperparameter settings.Although recent studies have improved neural architectures and optimization techniques,preprocessing is often treated as a fixed or manually designed stage,with limited integration into model optimization.To address this,this paper proposes an integrated,data-driven modelling framework that combines guided preprocessing with systematic hyperparameter optimization for seismic prediction,specifically forecasting earthquake magnitude from seismic catalog time-series data,with experiments conducted on Canadian seismic records.The method uses a Large Language Model to guide data preparation and feature engineering,rather than fully automate them,and applies deep learning-based forecasting with the N-HITS architecture,optimized via metaheuristic-assisted feature selection and hyperparameter tuning.The Football Optimization Algorithm(FbOA),employed as a metaheuristic optimization strategy in this study,is evaluated and compared with several well-known optimizers under identical conditions.The results show significant performance gains,with FbOA achieving superior accuracy,robustness,and convergence compared to baseline and competing methods.Notably,error metrics are reduced(MSE 3.10×10-7,RMSE 5.57×103),with high performance indicators(r=0.982,R2=0.979,NSE=0.981,WI=0.985).These results highlight the value of integrating guided preprocessing with optimization and demonstrate a scalable framework for high-precision time-series prediction in geophysical and related domains.

摘要This study traces the development of the Shanghai Typhoon Model(SHTM)from a traditional physics-based regional model toward a data-driven,machine-learning typhoon forecasting system.After upgrading its initial and boundary conditions,SHTM now leverages large-scale constraints from machine-learning weather prediction(MLWP)models,resulting in an ML–physics hybrid framework.During Typhoon Danas(2025),the hybrid SHTM achieves substantially lower track errors than both the advanced ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System(IFS)and leading MLWP models such as PanGu and FuXi.Furthermore,the hybrid SHTM consistently maintains mean track errors below 200 km up to a forecast lead time of 108 hours,representing a significant advancement in forecast accuracy.In addition,this study highlights the technical roadmap for transitioning from a physics-based typhoon model to a fully data-driven ML typhoon forecast system.It also emphasizes that advances in the physical modeling framework provide a critical foundation for further improving the performance of future data-driven ML typhoon models.

摘要This study summarizes the theoretical basis,modeling strategies,pathological mechanisms,and therapeutic advances related to high-altitude qi-deficiency and blood-stasis pattern.Traditional concepts such as“qi drives blood”and“deficiency leads to stasis”closely align with modern evidence demonstrating that hypoxia disrupts energy metabolism,impairs microcirculation,and amplifies inflammation and oxidative stress.Current animal models commonly use hypobaric hypoxia combined with fatigue loading,dietary restriction,ice-water stimulation,or adrenaline injection to mimic the combined effects of qi deficiency,blood stasis,and hypoxic injury.These composite approaches reproduce systemic abnormalities,including reduced arterial oxygen partial pressure,increased blood viscosity,impaired cardiac and pulmonary function,microcirculatory obstruction,and mitochondrial dysfunction.Enhanced inflammatory signaling,oxidative stress,and disturbances in metabolic and epigenetic networks further characterize the pattern.The findings indicate that its pathogenesis arises from multi-system,multi-target interactions rather than a single pathway.Representative herbal formulas,such as Buyang Huanwu decoction,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction,and prescriptions rich in Astragalus membranaceus(Fisch.)Bunge(A.membranaceus,Huang qi)or Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge(S.miltiorrhiza,Dan Shen)have demonstrated the ability to improve energy metabolism,attenuate endothelial injury,enhance microcirculation,and suppress inflammation through network-level regulation.Future research should focus on standardizing exposure parameters,developing quantitative syndrome evaluation systems,and integrating multi-omics,systems biology and artificial intelligence to improve model reproducibility and mechanistic precision.These efforts may help establish objective criteria for high-altitude qi-deficiency and blood-stasis pattern and support the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.

摘要Hepatitis A virus(HAV)is an important pathogen that has continuously posed a threat to global public health for over 5000 years.The development of accessible and reliable small animal models,especially murine models,is essential for elucidating HAV pathogenesis and advancing preventive and therapeutic strategies.The first mouse model for HAV infection was established using human-liver chimeric mice,which supported robust viral replication and high viral loads.Later,an Ifnar1−/−mice model was established with a specific mouse-adapted strain,recapitulating key clinical features of human hepatitis A.Recently,to overcome limitations associated with the difficulty in obtaining and amplifying stocks of HAV for animal models,our laboratory established a novel hepatitis A mouse model using lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated viral genomic RNA(LNP-vRNA).This approach provides a new strategy for modeling infections of hard-to-culture RNA viruses.In this review,we systematically summarize and compare these mouse models,respectively highlighting their advantages and limitations,and offer guidance for their application in future HAV research.

摘要Ankle injuries account for more than 25%of sports-related injuries.However,there is a lack of computational mechanics modeling and assessment tools for the ligament loading mechanism(LLM)caused by ankle injury.This study combines medical imaging data to construct the subject-specific ankle musculoskeletal model,which considers the subject's individualized characteristics and ligamentous attributes.Furthermore,we developed the structural constitutive model to restore the nonlinear short-term viscoelastic properties of the ligament-dense connective tissue,which can more realistically revert the LLM and reveal the mechanical properties of ankle injury.Based on the computational ligament mechanics(CLM)model,we developed a deep learning-based prediction model to predict LLM by CLM data-driven modeling.The modeling simulation results are highly consistent with the calculation results from the dual fluoroscopic imaging system,which demonstrated that the CLM model has high accuracy.The data-driven modeling performs exceptionally well in predicting ligament loading forces.The findings indicate that the constructed CLM data-driven model has the potential to enhance the accuracy and safety of ankle rehabilitation robots,while also providing personalized,dynamically adjusted rehabilitation training programs.The proposed comprehensive solutions would bring benefits to more patients with sports injuries and the general rehabilitation population,and promote the development and advancement of the research field of CLM and biomechanical variable prediction.

摘要Revolute joints are widely used in various engineering fields such as deployable space structures and robotics.Currently,various theoretical models have been applied to evaluate the normal contact force of the revolute joints;however,the results obtained by these models often exhibit significant discrepancies,and there is a lack of explanation for the reasons behind these discrepancies.This study explores the underlying theories of three classical non-conformal contact force models for revolute joints,namely the ESDU-78035 model,the Radzimovsky model,and the Dubowsky-Freudenstein model.The theoretical differences among these classical models are analyzed,and their deficiencies are discovered,and then an improved non-conformal normal contact force model is presented.To validate the accuracy of the presented model,three-dimensional refined finite element models employing surface-to-surface contact elements are constructed to simulate the normal contact of the revolute joint with different clearance sizes and different contact lengths.A comprehensive comparison is carried out between the semi-contact-width,contact pressure,and load-deformation curves obtained from the theoretical models and the finite element model.The results indicate that the presented contact force model outperforms the three classical contact force models in terms of accuracy.The differences between the ideal contact model and the real revolute joint are also investigated,and a sub-model modeling method is presented for the real revolute joint based on the ideal contact force model.

摘要Over the past several decades,humanized mouse models have undergone significant refinement and become essential tools in biomedical research.Advances in genetic engineering,particularly the targeted knock-in of human cytokines,have enabled robust development and function of human immune cells in these models.Recent breakthroughs-including the directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into thymic epithelial cells and the efficient expansion of hematopoietic stem cells-have alleviated the constraint of scarce human tissue sources.Furthermore,the reconstruction of lymph node structures and successful engraftment of solid organ tissues have significantly improved the efficiency and physiological relevance of human immune system reconstitution.These models now provide a unique plat-form for in vivo studies in cancer immunotherapy,infectious diseases,regenerative medicine,and autoimmune disorders under near-physiological conditions.Beyond rodents,substantial progress in humanized large animals,such as pigs,offers prom-ising avenues for large-scale immune system reconstruction and mass production of immunotherapeutic cells.This review presents a comprehensive overview of the development,optimization,and expanding applications of humanized animal models,highlighting their transformative role in advancing translational medicine.

摘要Computational pathology is fundamentally defined by its inherent hierarchical structure,spanning from nuclear morphology and cellular interactions to tissue microenvironments,ultimately integrating into whole-slide images for patient-level prognostic profiling.While traditional deep learning approaches have achieved remarkable success in specific tasks,the recent emergence of large-scale foundation models and vision-language models has precipitated a paradigm shift in the field.These data-driven systems,characterized by their robust representation learning and semantic reasoning capabilities,are redefining how we analyze pathological data across diverse spatial scales.In this review,we provide a comprehensive synthesis of this transformation through a multiscale lens.We systematically survey the application of foundation models and vision-language models in deciphering biological complexity,ranging from cell-level segmentation and tissue phenotyping to whole-slide image-level prediction and multimodal integration.Furthermore,we critically analyze the limitations of current approaches,such as interpretability,computational efficiency,and data bias,then outline promising future directions for developing holistic,context-aware systems that bridge the gap between pixel-level features and patient-centric clinical decision-making.
