Metasurface holography offers significant advantages, including a broad field of view, minimal noise, and high imaging quality, making it valuable across various optical domains such as 3D displays, VR, and color displays. However, the conventional pure-structured metasurface holographic devices face a limitation: once fabricated, their functionality remains fixed, restricting practical applications. In recent developments, the landscape of metasurface holography has witnessed a notable shift from passive to active elements, spurred by the introduction of multiplexed and reconfigurable metasurfaces. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in multiplexing and reconfigurable metasurface holography, delving into fundamental characteristics, design strategies, and diverse applications. In conclusion, we offer a brief summary of this rapidly evolving research area, suggest potential future directions, and explore applications. Finally, we briefly summarize this rapidly growing area of research, propose future directions and potential applications.

Seepage erosion is one of the main reasons for the local collapse or instability of embankments. To investigate the characteristics and mechanism of seepage erosion for cohesionless soils, the model tests by using an independently developed seepage erosion device and the numerical simulations based on the Discrete Element Method-Computational Fluid Dynamics (DEM-CFD) coupling model were carried out. The results show that the seepage erosion process of the cohesionless soil can be characterized by four stages: stable seepage stage, fine particles upward migration stage, sand samples boiling stage, and erosion damage stage. The skeleton structure of soil sample under seepage flow is continually changed due to the loss of fine soil particles, which results in a significant decrease in the sample strength and may ultimately lead to the failure of the sample. The results of this study can provide references and bases for the design, construction, and long-term service of embankments or earth dams under the complex seepage condition, reducing the risk of seepage erosion.

The low-temperature environment significantly inhibits the growth and metabolism of denitrifying bacteria, leading to an excessive concentration of ammonia nitrogen and total nitrogen in sewage treatment plants during the cold season. In this study, an efficient denitrifying strain of heterotrophic nitrification–aerobic denitrification(HN-AD) bacteria named HS2 was isolated and screened from industrial sewage of a chemical factory in Inner Mongolia at 8°C. The strain was confirmed to be Achromobacter spiritinus, a colorless rod-shaped bacterium. When cultured with sodium succinate as the carbon source, a carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of 20-30, a shaking rate of 150-180 r/min, and the initial pH of 6-10, the Strain HS2 exhibited excellent nitrogen removal at 8°C. Through the results of whole-genome sequencing, gene amplification, and gas product detection, the Strain HS2 was determined to possess key enzyme genes in both nitrification and denitrification pathways, suggesting a HN-AD pathway of NH4+-N→NH2OH→NO2--N→NO→N2O→N2. At 8°C, the Strain HS2 could completely remove ammonia nitrogen from industrial sewage with an initial concentration of 127.23 mg/L. Microbial species diversity analysis of the final sewage confirmed Achromobacter sp. as the dominant genus, this indicated that the low-temperature denitrifying strain HS2 plays an important role in nitrogen removal of actual low-temperature sewage.

The combination of freeze-dried aronia, red ginseng, ultraviolet-irradiated shiitake mushroom and natokinase (AGM; 3.4: 4.1: 2.4: 0.1) was examined to evaluate its effects on insulin resistance, insulin secretion and gut microbiome in a non-obese type 2 diabetic animal model. Pancreatectomized (Px) rats were provided high fat diets supplemented with either of 1) 0.5 g AGM (AGM-L), 2) 1 g AGM (AGM-H), 3) 1 g dextrin (control), or 4) 1g dextrin with 120 mg metformin (positive-control) per kg body weight for 12 weeks. AGM (1 g) contained 6.22 mg cyanidin-3-galactose, 2.5 mg ginsenoside Rg3 and 0.6 mg β-glucan. Px rats had decreased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine and femur and lean body mass in the hip and leg compared to the normal-control and AGM-L and AGM-H prevented the decrease. Visceral fat mass was lower in the control group than the normal-control group and its decrease was smaller by AGM-L and AGM-H. HOMA-IR was lower in descending order of the control, positive-control, AGM-L, AGM-H and normal-control groups. Glucose tolerance was deteriorated in the control group and it was improved by AGM-L and AGM-H more than in the positive-control group. Glucose tolerance is associated with insulin resistance and insulin secretion. Insulin tolerance indicated insulin resistance was highly impaired in diabetic rats, but it was improved in the ascending order of the positive-control, AGM-L and AGM-H. Insulin secretion capacity, measured by hyperglycemic clamp, was much lower in the control group than the normal-control group and it was improved in the ascending order of the positive-control, AGM-L and AGM-H. Diabetes modulated the composition of gut microbiome and AMG prevented the modulation of gut microbiome. In conclusion, AGM improved glucose metabolism by potentiating insulin secretion and reducing insulin resistance in insulin deficient type 2 diabetic rats. The improvement of diabetic status alleviated body composition changes and prevented changes of gut microbiome composition.

Cognitive impairment is a core feature of schizophrenia, playing a pivotal role in understanding the causes, processes, and outcomes of the disorder. Cognitive impairments in schizophrenia encompass a wide range of domains, including processing speed, episodic memory, working memory, and executive function. These deficits persist throughout the course of the illness and significantly impact functional outcome and quality of life. Therefore, identifying the biological basis of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and developing effective treatments are imperative. The role of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in synaptic transmission and plasticity has long been recognized, making them potential targets for schizophrenia treatment. This review will focus on emerging pharmacology targeting NMDA receptor, offering strategies for the prevention and treatment of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia.

With the rapid growth of the global mask market, consumers have put forward higher requirements for the functionality and ingredients of mask products. Conventional facial masks generally use ordinary non-woven fabrics as the mask base fabric, are frequently used with essence and contain preservatives. At the same time, they are susceptible to the influence of the external environment and are easily oxidized, which will cause the mask to deteriorate and skin allergic reactions. In addition, conventional facial masks exhibit poor skin fit, limited breathability, inadequate absorption of nutrient solutions, and easy to drip. The nanofiber mask prepared by electrospinning technology has a high specific surface area and high porosity, which enabling improved nutrient absorption by the skin, superior skin fit, and exceptional breathability. Nanofiber facial mask products can effectively solve consumer pain points and promote the high-end development of facial mask products. Therefore, this research combines needleless electrospinning technology to develop a novel solid-state, preservative-free, and quick-dissolving nanofiber facial mask that can be prepared on a large scale. Based on needleless electrospinning technology, this research deeply explores the process parameters and influencing mechanisms of quick-dissolving nanofiber facial masks, ultimately achieving the consistent production of nanofiber facial masks with optimal morphology. Comprehensive and evaluation of the structure and performance of nanofiber facial masks from micro and macro perspectives. The experimental results show that the mask morphology is optimal under the process conditions of using a spinning liquid of 20% collagen peptide solution, a spinning voltage of 30kV, a collection distance of 19cm, and a liquid supply speed of 130ml/h.
