A Multi-sprite Based Anaglyph 3D Video Watermarking Approach Robust Against CollusionAbstract3D video watermarking is far from the maturity of watermarking algorithms dedicated to audio, image or 2D video. In fact, little work has been proposed for anaglyph 3D videos. Such methods have not been robust against malicious attacks such as compression and collusion. The latter one is a very dangerous attack that can be applied on video content and can easily remove an embedded signature to obtain original...
Threats Underestimated in Freshwater Plastic Pollution: Mini-ReviewAbstractPlastic pollution is one of the most acute environmental topics of our time. While there is a great scientific effort to tackle this problem, it has not always been well-coordinated or properly targeted. In this short review, we call for scientists to get involved in three crucial topics (threats) underestimated—or ignored—in freshwater systems: (i) plastic-species entanglement, (ii) plastic as nesting material, and (iii)...
Incorporation of Electrochemically Exfoliated Graphene Oxide and TiO 2 into Polyvinylidene Fluoride-Based Nanofiltration Membrane for Dye RejectionAbstractIn this work, the novel direct synthesis method of dimethylacetamide-based graphene oxide (GO) was performed through electrochemical exfoliation assisted by commercially available single-tail sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactant. Then, the synthesised GO (SDS–GO) was incorporated into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) solution to produce a nanofiltration...
in aged miceBackground: Depression affects approximately 5% of elderly people and its etiology might be related to chronic stress exposure during neurodevelopmental periods. In this study, we examined the effects of adolescent chronic social stress in aged mice on depressive behaviors and the excitatory-inhibitory (E/I) balance in stress-sensitive regions of the brain. Methods: Sixty-four adolescent, male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to either the 7-week (from post-natal days 29 to 77) social...

Clinical and electrophysiological profiles in early recognition of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes syndromeBackground: The detection of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome at early stage is challenging for neurologists. Since polyneuropathy could be the first manifestation, it could be misdiagnosed as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The present study aimed to determine the clinical...
Risk factors for acute kidney injury in patients with acute myocardial infarction,Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious and fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It has high short- and long-term mortality rates and a poor prognosis but is potentially preventable. However, the current incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in the Chinese population are not well understood and would serve the first step to identify high-risk patients who could receive preventative...
Endothelial function and T-lymphocyte subsets in patients with overlap syndrome of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and obstructive sleep apneaBackground: The coexistence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is termed overlap syndrome (OS). COPD and OSA both have increased risks of developing cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to explore if patients with OS exhibited a higher prevalence of cardiovascular complications, and if patients with...
Factors associated with unprotected anal intercourse among male students who have sex with men in three Northern regions of ChinaBackground: Unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) has previously been associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Male students who have sex with men (SMSM) are at increased exposure to experience UAI. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of UAI and related factors among SMSM in three northern regions of China. Methods: From November 2018 to...
Melanoma: the new perspectives from clinical and translational researchThe prognosis of metastatic melanoma has not changed throughout the 20th century. However, in the last decade, we have witnessed a continuous improvement in survival, with many long-term survivors. These results are largely because of the simultaneous development of the knowledge in the biology of metastatic malignant melanoma and of the relationship between the disease and the host's immune system that allowed the development...

Aesthetic Outcomes of Nasal Burow's Grafts With Interdomal Sutures After Mohs Micrographic SurgeryBACKGROUND Post-Mohs reconstruction of distal nasal defects is challenging. Many repair options exist, each with advantages and disadvantages. Utilization of a Burow's graft in combination with manipulation of the underlying nasal cartilages with interdomal sutures is an underreported yet effective repair option. OBJECTIVE To present the authors' experience with Burow's grafts facilitated by interdomal...
