“…Special emphasis was placed on identifying experimental evidence of the theoretically predicted topological phase transitions (TPTs) in (Mn_{1−x}Pb_{x})Bi_{2}Te_{4} near x≈50%. The criteria for detecting TPT include the presence or absence of topological surface states (TSS) in the electronic structure, which can be identified by their characteristic helical spin structure in spin-resolved or CD spectra, as well as the closure of the bulk band gap. …”

Study on the protective effect of naringin-regulated lncRNA GAS5 against mitochondrial apoptosis in osteoarthritic chondrocytes by LIN Qin, ZHU Yingkai, LIN Yanming, LAN Shujie, CHEN Changxing, FU Changlong

“…In vitro experiments, Lenti-lncRNA GAS5 was used to infect sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced chondrocytes, and the expression of lncRNA GAS5 was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization in rat chondrocytes; after silencing of lncRNA GAS5, the expression level of lncRNA GAS5 in rat chondrocytes was detected by Real-time PCR; Western blot detected the protein levels of Caspase-3, Bax, MMP-13 and Cyt-C.Results① Pathological changes of cartilage tissue: The articular cartilage matrix in naringenin group was relatively complete, the surface was relatively smooth, the structure was clear, the tide line was more complete, the number of chondrocytes was more full, the arrangement was more orderly, the cartilage staining was more uniform, and the structure was significantly restored than that in the model group. ② lncRNA GAS5 expression in cartilage tissue: Compared with model group, lncRNA GAS5 expression in naringin group was decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01). ③ Expression of proteins related to mitochondrial apoptosis in cartilage tissues: Compared with model group, the expressions of Caspase-3, Bax, MMP-13 and Cyt-C in cartilage tissues of naringin group were decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01). ④ Fluorescence expression of lncRNA GAS5 in chondrocytes: FISH results showed that the fluorescence expression of lncRNA GAS5 was decreased after naringin treatment of SNP-induced chondrocytes (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01). ⑤ The protein expressions of Caspase-3, Bax, MMP-13 and Cyt-C in chondrocytes: Compared with the model group, the protein expressions of Caspase-3, Bax, MMP-13 and Cyt-C in naringin group were significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt; 0.01). …”

ETAFHrNet: A Transformer-Based Multi-Scale Network for Asymmetric Pavement Crack Segmentation by Chao Tan, Jiaqi Liu, Zhedong Zhao, Rufei Liu, Peng Tan, Aishu Yao, Shoudao Pan, Jingyi Dong

“…Specifically, the proposed ETAFHrNet focuses on two predominant pavement-distress morphologies—linear cracks (transverse and longitudinal) and alligator cracks—and has been empirically validated on their intersections and branching patterns over both asphalt and concrete road surfaces. In this work, we present ETAFHrNet, a novel attention-guided segmentation network designed to address the limitations of traditional architectures in detecting fine-grained and asymmetric patterns. …”
