The foaming agent mother liquor was obtained by hydrolysis of human slag, the composite protein foaming agent was prepared by improving the compounding of the mother liquor, pulverized coal was used instead of fly ash as mineral admixture, the water-cement ratio, material ratio and foaming agent addition amount of the optimal grouting material were determined by orthogonal tests, and the foam concrete with high strength and high permeability was prepared, and its on-site construction feasibility was verified by the dynamic curing characteristics experiment of coagulation time and fluidity. Finally, the borehole synergistic protection technology of in-hole screen protection and grouting reinforcement was proposed, and industrial tests were carried out in the field. The results showed that: (1) Sodium hydroxide hydrolyzed human hair residue was used as a composite protein foaming agent mother liquor material, and the optimal foam performance was determined to be 2 g/L sodium laureth sulfate (SLS) + 0.3% calcium stearate through the compound improvement experiment.

Among these, KRAS G12D is the most prevalent, contributing to chemoresistance and limiting the efficacy of current therapeutic strategies. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of jorunnamycin A (JA), a bioactive compound derived from the marine sponge Xestospongia, in PDAC. Molecular docking analyses were performed to assess JA's binding affinity for various KRAS protein variants. The synergistic effects of JA in combination with standard chemotherapeutic agents were evaluated using the Bliss independence model in pancreatic cancer cell lines and patient-derived PDAC organoids harboring distinct KRAS mutations. Furthermore, western blot analysis was performed to examine the impact the molecular mechanisms underlying JA's anticancer activity. JA demonstrated potent anticancer activity against PDAC cells, irrespective of their KRAS mutation status. In silico molecular docking and protein suppression studies indicated a strong binding affinity between JA and KRAS G12D. Synergistic interactions between JA and various PDAC chemotherapeutic agents, including oxaliplatin, SN-38, paclitaxel, 5-fluorouracil, and gemcitabine, were observed using the Bliss independence model. Notably, co-treatment with JA at a 10-fold lower concentration significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin, reducing its IC<sub>50</sub> values around tenfold. This synergistic impact was further validated in both KRAS G12D spheroids and patient-derived PDAC organoids harboring KRAS G12D and other KRAS variants. Mechanistically, the JA-oxaliplatin combination enhanced caspase-3/7 activation, suppressed key KRAS-mediated survival pathways (STAT3, B/C-RAF, AKT, and ERK), and led to the downregulation of anti-apoptotic proteins (MCL-1 and BCL-2). These findings highlight JA as a promising therapeutic candidate for PDAC, particularly in the context of KRAS G12D-driven tumors.

This paper introduces a novel approach called counterclockwise block-wise knowledge distillation (CBKD) to optimize the knowledge distillation process. The core idea of CBKD aims to mitigate the generation gap between teacher and student models, facilitating the transmission of intermediate-layer knowledge from the teacher model. It divides both teacher and student models into multiple sub-network blocks, and in each stage of knowledge distillation, only the knowledge from one teacher sub-block is transferred to the corresponding position of a student sub-block. Additionally, in the CBKD process, deeper teacher sub-network blocks are assigned higher compression rates.

Using summary statistics from large-scale genome-wide association studies of European ancestry, comprising data on T1D (N = 520,580) and the 22 site-specific cancers, we selected single nucleotide polymorphisms strongly associated with T1D as instruments for our analysis. Causal relationships were primarily evaluated through inverse-variance weighting-based analyses, supplemented by three additional methods: MR-Egger, weighted median, and mode-based estimate.
