Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors Among Chinese Adolescents in Relation to Negative Life Events, Internet Addiction, and Sexual Abuse: Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Increasing suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) among adolescents raise social concerns and have a well-recognized association with sexual abuse (SA). However, research regarding the mechanisms explaining the association between SA and STB remains limited. Objective: This study aims to examine the chained mediating effects of negative life events (NLE) and internet addiction (IA) between SA and STB among adolescents in China. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the Science Database of the People Mental Health survey conducted between March 2013 and December 2022 by the National Population Health Data Center of the National Research Institute for Family Planning. Through stratified sampling, 20,893 adolescents were recruited from 16 Chinese provinces. After excluding samples with missing relevant variables, 10,664 (55.89%; aged 16-17.9 y; n=5826, 54.63% women) adolescents were included in the final analysis. STB was the outcome variable, with NLE and IA as mediators, all assessed via a questionnaire that was uniformly administered by trained investigators in school settings. The Pearson Ο‡ test was used to analyze the association between SA and STB. Using a combination of multiple linear regression and bootstrap testing, the study constructed a chain mediation model to explore how SA influences STB in adolescents through NLE and IA. Results: The scores for SA, NLE, IA, and STB were 1.330 (SD 1.714), 51.960 (SD 23.822), 34.88 (SD 13.852), and 0.690 (SD 1.396), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated SA was associated with NLE (Ξ²=2.382, 95% CI 2.112‐2.653;

UniFluids: Unified Neural Operator Learning with Conditional Flow-matching

arXiv:2603.22309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Partial differential equation (PDE) simulation holds extensive significance in scientific research. Currently, the integration of deep neural networks to learn solution operators of PDEs has introduced great potential. In this paper, we present UniFluids, a conditional flow-matching framework that harnesses the scalability of diffusion Transformer to unify learning of solution operators across diverse PDEs with varying dimensionality and physical variables. Unlike the autoregressive PDE foundation models, UniFluids adopts flow-matching to achieve parallel sequence generation, making it the first such approach for unified operator learning. Specifically, the introduction of a unified four-dimensional spatiotemporal representation for the heterogeneous PDE datasets enables joint training and conditional encoding. Furthermore, we find the effective dimension of the PDE dataset is much lower than its patch dimension. We thus employ $x$-prediction in the flow-matching operator learning, which is verified to significantly improve prediction accuracy. We conduct a large-scale evaluation of UniFluids on several PDE datasets covering spatial dimensions 1D, 2D and 3D. Experimental results show that UniFluids achieves strong prediction accuracy and demonstrates good scalability and cross-scenario generalization capability. The code will be released later.

URA-Net: Uncertainty-Integrated Anomaly Perception and Restoration Attention Network for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2603.22840v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unsupervised anomaly detection plays a pivotal role in industrial defect inspection and medical image analysis, with most methods relying on the reconstruction framework. However, these methods may suffer from over-generalization, enabling them to reconstruct anomalies well, which leads to poor detection performance. To address this issue, instead of focusing solely on normality reconstruction, we propose an innovative Uncertainty-Integrated Anomaly Perception and Restoration Attention Network (URA-Net), which explicitly restores abnormal patterns to their corresponding normality. First, unlike traditional image reconstruction methods, we utilize a pre-trained convolutional neural network to extract multi-level semantic features as the reconstruction target. To assist the URA-Net learning to restore anomalies, we introduce a novel feature-level artificial anomaly synthesis module to generate anomalous samples for training. Subsequently, a novel uncertainty-integrated anomaly perception module based on Bayesian neural networks is introduced to learn the distributions of anomalous and normal features. This facilitates the estimation of anomalous regions and ambiguous boundaries, laying the foundation for subsequent anomaly restoration. Then, we propose a novel restoration attention mechanism that leverages global normal semantic information to restore detected anomalous regions, thereby obtaining defect-free restored features. Finally, we employ residual maps between input features and restored features for anomaly detection and localization. The comprehensive experimental results on two industrial datasets, MVTec AD and BTAD, along with a medical image dataset, OCT-2017, unequivocally demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Spatial Omics in Gastrointestinal Oncology: Recent Advances, Therapeutic Insights, and Clinical Translation

J Cancer. 2026 Jan 30;17(3):515-523. doi: 10.7150/jca.127381. eCollection 2026.

ABSTRACT

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers remain a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, largely due to their molecular heterogeneity, complex tumor microenvironment (TME), and variable treatment responses. In recent years, the emergence of spatially resolved omics technologies-encompassing spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics-has revolutionized the ability to interrogate tumor architecture with unprecedented resolution. These methods enable precise mapping of cellular and molecular interactions within intact tissue contexts, thereby uncovering spatially defined niches that influence tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic resistance. In GI malignancies such as colorectal, gastric, and esophageal cancers, spatial omics have provided critical insights into cancer-stromal-immune crosstalk, identified predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy and targeted agents, and guided the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This review synthesizes the latest advances in spatial omics applied to GI oncology over the past five years, with an emphasis on their integration into early diagnosis, treatment stratification, and real-time monitoring of therapeutic efficacy. We also discuss current challenges, including standardization, data integration, and clinical validation, as well as future directions for incorporating spatial profiling into routine oncology practice. By bridging the gap between bench discoveries and bedside applications, spatial omics hold transformative potential for achieving truly personalized treatment in gastrointestinal cancers.
