Association Between Serum Cotinine Concentrations and Depression Among U.S. Adults: NHANES 2005–2018
Abstract Background: Evidence on the association between objective measures of tobacco exposure and depression remains limited. This study examined the relationship between serum cotinine and depression in a nationally representative U.S. population. Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005–2018. Serum cotinine was analyzed as a biomarker of nicotine exposure. Depression was defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score ≥10.
An adaptive visual diagnostic model for complex scenes based on unsupervised pseudo-label continuous learning and BiFPN-enhanced YOLO
Abstract With the deployment of intelligent systems in open environments, visual perception capabilities are required for engineering applications. Traditional static visual detection models experience feature degradation under environmental changes. Conventional pseudo-labeling techniques exhibit confirmation bias when processing complex samples, and models encounter knowledge forgetting during the continuous absorption of unlabeled data streams.

Corporate greenwashing and corporate risk-taking: evidence from Chinese listed firms
Abstract While the dual carbon strategy promotes nationwide green transformation, regional ecological governance and environmental-economic development remain uneven across China. Corporate greenwashing has happened frequently in recent years, which has affected corporate business decisions and risk-taking willingness in a striking way.
Computer Science > Computation and Language
Agentic coding tools present new opportunities to transform research workflows. The performance of agent systems built depends on both large language models (LLMs) and the harness around LLMs, which is the orchestration code that determines an agent's behavior. We present ToFu, an agentic harness for researchers that reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and integrates with your development tools.
Breaking high-temperature dielectric energy storage limits through suppression of charge carrier transport
Abstract Aromatic polymers possess superior thermal stability, rendering them promising candidates for high-temperature polymer capacitors. However, they suffer from severe intra-and inter-chain charge transport under high temperatures and fields, leading to deteriorated capacitive performances. While blending and crosslinking strategies have been attempted, inherent conjugated planar structures in the polymer backbone and interchain donor-acceptor stacking limit their effectiveness.
Temporal trends and future projections of amphetamine use disorder in China and the United States: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023

Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold significant promise for applications in regenerative medicine, yet their therapeutic potential is often limited by replicative senescence. Identifying effective strategies to reverse replicative senescence in MSCs and elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms are essential steps in advancing their clinical use.
Oral γδT17 cells induced by macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles in periodontitis exacerbate rheumatoid arthritis
To clarify the functional cargos within macrophage-derived EVs from LIP that increase γδT17 cells, we utilized proteomic sequencing to distinguish the differences in protein composition between Ctrl-EVs and Ba-EVs. The high enrichment of complement cascade-related proteins in Ba-EVs was observed in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis (Figure 6A).

Abstract In response to the urgent need for water environment protection, this study proposes an improved algorithm for detecting floating objects on the surface of water: You Only Look Once version 8-water surface floating object detection (YOLOv8-WSFOD). This algorithm aims to address the impacts of illumination variations and water surface distortion on floating object detection, as well as missed and false small object detections in complex aquatic scenarios.
Lab perceptual training and robot-assisted training in improving speech prosody of autistic children
Abstract Children with autism spectrum disorder are known to exhibit both social and language difficulties. Speech prosody is known to be easily noticeable, which has been shown to have far-reaching influences in the academic and social life of autistic individuals. This study examined two training programs on the speech prosody of autistic children, who tend to avoid social speech signals.
Development and Validation of a Machine Learning-Based Model to Predict Peri-Implant Mucositis in Patients With Dental Implant Placement After 1-Year
1 Introduction Peri-implant diseases, including peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, represent significant biological complications threatening long term implant success (Galarraga-Vinueza et al. 2025). Peri-implant mucositis (PIM) is a reversible, biofilm-induced inflammatory condition solely affecting the soft tissues around an implant, without progressive marginal bone loss (Heitz-Mayfield and Salvi 2018). The condition is clinically identified by bleeding on gentle probing.

A spatially organized Cd24a+/Pax9+ stem cell core governs postnatal tooth establishment
Abstract Mineralized tissues are fundamental in mechanical support and protection in vertebrates. Their formation by progenitor cells during development remains elusive. Here, we show that the postnatal establishment of the molar teeth was governed by a spatially organized core of Cd24a+/Pax9+ progenitors that persisted into adulthood. Cd24a+ cells gave rise to the dentin-pulp complex, while Pax9+ ones mainly generated periodontal tissues.
PGRN as an emerging regulator of lipid metabolism in neurodegenerative diseases - Communications Biology
Abstract Dysregulated lipid metabolism in microglia represents a hallmark of neuroinflammation and is often observed in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. The exact molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of altered lipid homeostasis and how it contributes to neurodegeneration remain to be deciphered. Progranulin (PGRN) is a lysosomal glycoprotein encoded by GRN. Loss-of-function mutations or variants of GRN have been linked to various neurodegenerative diseases.

Visible-light optical phased array on a thin-film lithium niobate platform for high-speed beam steering
We demonstrate a visible-light optical phased array (OPA) realized on a thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform. The OPA chip integrates 32 channels and independently modulates the phase of each channel through an electro-optic phase shifter for the first time, to our knowledge, exhibiting a rapid response speed. The electro-optic rising edge response time is 12 ns, while the falling edge response time is 14 ns.
