Self doping effect and successive magnetic transitions in superconducting SrVFeAsO
We have studied a quinary Fe-based superconductor SrVFeAsO by the
measurements of x-ray diffraction, x-ray absorption, M\"{o}ssbauer spectrum,
resistivity, magnetization and specific heat. This apparently undoped
oxyarsenide is shown to be self doped via electron transfer from the V
ions. We observed successive magnetic transitions within the VO layers: an
antiferromagnetic transition at 150 K followed by a weak ferromagnetic
transition at 55 K. The spin orderings within the VO planes are discussed
based on mixed valence of V and V.Comment: One Table and more references are adde
Exploration of Programmed Cell Death-Associated Characteristics and Immune infiltration in Neonatal Sepsis: New insights From Bioinformatics analysis and Machine Learning
BACKGROUND: Neonatal sepsis, a perilous medical situation, is typified by the malfunction of organs and serves as the primary reason for neonatal mortality. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying newborn sepsis remain ambiguous. Programmed cell death (PCD) has a connection with numerous infectious illnesses and holds a significant function in newborn sepsis, potentially serving as a marker for diagnosing the condition.
METHODS: From the GEO public repository, we selected two groups, which we referred to as the training and validation sets, for our analysis of neonatal sepsis. We obtained PCD-related genes from 12 different patterns, including databases and published literature. We first obtained differential expressed genes (DEGs) for neonatal sepsis and controls. Three advanced machine learning techniques, namely LASSO, SVM-RFE, and RF, were employed to identify potential genes connected to PCD. to further validate the results, PPI networks were constructed, artificial neural networks and consensus clustering were used. Subsequently, a neonatal sepsis diagnostic prediction model was developed and evaluated. We conducted an analysis of immune cell infiltration to examine immune cell dysregulation in neonatal sepsis, and we established a ceRNA network based on the identified marker genes.
RESULTS: Within the context of neonatal sepsis, a total of 49 genes exhibited an intersection between the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and those associated with programmed cell death (PCD). Utilizing three distinct machine learning techniques, six genes were identified as common to both DEGs and PCD-associated genes. A diagnostic model was subsequently constructed by integrating differential expression profiles, and subsequently validated by conducting artificial neural networks and consensus clustering. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were employed to assess the diagnostic merit of the model, which yielded promising results. The immune infiltration analysis revealed notable disparities in patients diagnosed with neonatal sepsis. Furthermore, based on the identified marker genes, the ceRNA network revealed an intricate regulatory interplay.
CONCLUSION: In our investigation, we methodically identified six marker genes (AP3B2, STAT3, TSPO, S100A9, GNS, and CX3CR1). An effective diagnostic prediction model emerged from an exhaustive analysis within the training group (AUC 0.930, 95%CI 0.887-0.965) and the validation group (AUC 0.977, 95%CI 0.935-1.000)
Hierarchical identity-based chameleon hash and its applications
Abstract. At ACNS 2008, Canard et al. introduced the notion of trap-door sanitizable signature (TSS) based on identity-based chameleon hash (IBCH). Trapdoor sanitizable signatures allow the signer of a message to delegate, at any time, the power of sanitization to possibly several entities who can modify predetermined parts of the message and gener-ate a new signature on the sanitized message without interacting with the original signer. In this paper, we introduce the notion of hierarchical identity-based chameleon hash (HIBCH), which is a hierarchical exten-sion of IBCH. We show that HIBCH can be used to construct other cryptographic primitives, including hierarchical trapdoor sanitizable sig-nature (HTSS) and key-exposure free IBCH. HTSS allows an entity who has the sanitization power for a given signed message, to further delegate its power to its descendants in a controlled manner. Finally, we propose a concrete construction of HIBCH and show that it is t-threshold collusion-resistant
Self-doping effect and successive magnetic transitions in superconducting Sr2 VFeAsO3
We have studied a quinary Fe-based superconductor Sr2VFeAsO3 by the measurements of x-ray diffraction, x-ray absorption, Mössbauer spectrum, resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat. This apparently undoped oxyarsenide is shown to be self-doped via electron transfer from the V3+ ions. We observed successive magnetic transitions within the VO2 layers: an antiferromagnetic transition at 150 K followed by a weak ferromagnetic transition at 55 K. The spin orderings within the VO2 planes are discussed based on mixed valence of V3+ and V4+

Table1_Genome-wide exploration of a pyroptosis-related gene module along with immune cell infiltration patterns in bronchopulmonary dysplasia.XLSX
Pyroptosis plays a crucial role in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and is associated with various lung injury illnesses. However, the function of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) in BPD remains poorly understood. The gene expression omnibus (GEO) database was searched for information on genes associated with BPD. Twenty-five BPD-related DE-PRGs were identified, all of which were closely associated with pyroptosis regulation and immunological response. LASSO and SVM-RFE algorithms identified CHMP7, NLRC4, NLRP2, NLRP6, and NLRP9 among the 25 differentially expressed PRGs as marker genes with acceptable diagnostic capabilities. Using these five genes, we also generated a nomogram with excellent predictive power. Annotation enrichment analyses revealed that these five genes may be implicated in BPD and numerous BPD-related pathways. In addition, the ceRNA network showed an intricate regulatory link based on the marker genes. In addition, CIBERSORT-based studies revealed that alterations in the immunological microenvironment of BPD patients may be associated with the marker genes. We constructed a diagnostic nomogram and gave insight into the mechanism of BPD. Its diagnostic value for BPD must be evaluated in further research before it can be used in clinical practice.</p
