In an era of information explosion, dealing with massive data has become a problem. Since DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (DNA) is a high-density storage medium with long storage endurance, a DNA based storage system is a viable solution. The first consideration of a DNA storage system is the DNA codes, which can avoid non-specific hybridization of DNA strands in the hybridization reaction process by using related constraints, such as Hamming distance constraints, GC-content constraints, and no-runlength constraints. A K-means Multi-Verse Optimizer (KMVO) algorithm is proposed to construct a better code boundary than the previous Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) algorithm that satisfies the above constraints. Our results can store information more efficiently over a given length, increasing storage utilization. INDEX TERMS DNA code design, DNA storage, k-means, MVO algorithm.
In order to systematically solve the problem of formulating agricultural green development strategies based on the four dimensions of policy green, industry green, science and technology green, and awareness green, this paper uses the method of combining the Gini coefficient with hesitation fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making to carry out research. The research shows that: (1) The three most critical factors affecting the green development of agriculture are “consumers’ awareness of purchasing green agricultural products”, “investment in the construction of rural ecological civilization” and “the number of farmers’ scientific and technological training”, and the corresponding index weights are 0.12, 0.1 and 0.1, respectively. (2) There are differences in policy, industry, science and technology, and consciousness in the green development of agriculture. The green development of policy shows an obvious upward trend. The industrial green development shows a relatively gentle upward trend. The green development of science and technology showed rapid growth from 2011 to 2017, and the growth slowed down in the following two years and showed a downward trend in 2020. The awareness of green development shows a relatively stable upward trend. (3) The green development of agriculture is jointly driven by the relevant interests of the supply side, the demand side, and the regulator, and the demand side’s requirements for high-quality agricultural products become a stronger driving force for the green development of agriculture. The change in the consciousness and thinking of agricultural product producers on the supply side has become the basis for the green development of agriculture, and the implementation of government policies has become an important guarantee for the green development of agriculture. The innovation of this paper is to build an evaluation index system including government, consumers, farmers’ awareness of multiple subjects, government policies at all levels, industrial production status, and agricultural production technology. At the same time, we build an evaluation model that can comprehensively analyze quantitative and qualitative indicators. In view of the need for a holistic analysis of the agricultural system in the study of agricultural green development, future studies will include air pollution emissions and agricultural transport services in the evaluation model to improve the scientific and universal model.

4853 Introduction: Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3Ks) play pivotal roles in cell signaling and regulate a variety of cellular functions. PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ isoforms are necessary for adaptive and innate immunity and contribute to the development and maintenance of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and hematologic malignancies. IPI-145 is a potent inhibitor of PI3K- δ,γ isoforms (Ki = 23 pM and 243 pM, respectively) in clinical development for patients with advanced hematologic malignancies and inflammatory/autoimmune disorders. The pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of IPI-145 were evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical study in healthy subjects and are being characterized in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. Methods: In a healthy subject study, IPI-145 was administered orally as a single dose and as multiple doses once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) for 14 days. In a Phase 1 oncology study, IPI-145 was administered orally starting at a dose of 8 mg BID. PK and PD markers were evaluated after the first dose and at steady state. PD activity (PI3K inhibition) in whole blood was evaluated using a basophil activation assay which measured reduction in CD63 expression on the surface of basophils following ex vivo stimulation. Results: IPI-145 was well tolerated in healthy subjects at single doses up to 30 mg (highest dose tested) and up to 10 mg total daily dose (highest dose tested; 5 mg BID or 10 mg QD) for 14 days. In healthy subjects, the PK profile of IPI-145 is characterized by rapid absorption (peak plasma concentrations reached within 0.5–1 hour), moderately rapid elimination (half-life 3.5 to 9.5 hours following a single dose and 6.5 to 11.7 hours following repeat dosing) and dose proportional increases in systemic exposure (Cmax and AUC). Minimal accumulation was observed after multiple dose administration (accumulation ratio 1.65–1.83 for BID dosing and 1.54 for QD dosing). Following single oral dose administration, clearance ranged from 6.7 L/h to 11.1 L/h and the volume of distribution ranged from 38.8 L to 147 L. Excretion of unchanged IPI-145 in urine was <2% of the administered dose, indicating minimal renal elimination of parent drug. CD63 expression on the surface of activated CCR3+ basophils was reduced in a dose-dependent manner at all single and multiple dose levels, with a maximum reduction at 1 hour post dose, corresponding to the time of maximum IPI-145 plasma concentrations. Inhibition of basophil activation mirrored the IPI-145 concentration-time profile, with CD63 expression returning to baseline levels as plasma concentrations declined. Administration of 5 mg BID maintained PI3K-δ inhibition (EC50 = 48 ng/mL) throughout the 12 hour dosing interval. Concomitant administration of a high-fat, high-calorie meal decreased Cmax approximately 10%, shifted median Tmaxfrom 1 to 3 hours, and increased overall exposure (AUC) approximately 8–9%. These data suggest IPI-145 may be administered without regard to meals. Emerging data from a Phase 1, dose escalation study in subjects with hematologic malignancies demonstrate rapid drug absorption and dose-proportional PK. As in healthy subjects, maximum inhibition of basophil activation was observed 1 hour post dose. Prior to dose administration at the beginning of Cycle 2 (i.e. after 28 days of BID dosing), CD63 expression was reduced 45% or more relative to the start of treatment. Mean steady-state trough concentrations were maintained above levels sufficient for PI3K-δ inhibition following doses ≥15 mg BID. Early signs of clinical response have been observed. Conclusions: Across both Phase 1 studies, IPI-145 drug absorption was rapid and exposure was proportional to dose. CD63 expression on the surface of activated basophils was reduced in the presence of IPI-145 in both healthy and oncology subjects, an observation consistent with PI3K-δ inhibition. An exposure-response relationship was evident, suggesting a concentration-dependent pharmacological response to IPI-145. Preliminary PK/PD data from the oncology study demonstrate inhibition of PI3K-δ activity and suggest higher doses may increasingly suppress PI3K-γ activity. Dose escalation and PK/PD monitoring are ongoing. Collectively, the data available support the clinical development of IPI-145 as a potential therapeutic in hematologic malignancies and inflammatory diseases.

Background Delirium, a disorder of consciousness, often occurs for a period of time during hospitalisation. It is characterised by a disturbance of attention or awareness. Hyperactive delirium may lead to accidental removal of medical equipment, while hypoactive delirium may inhibit patients from participating in nursing interventions, medical treatment, and physical therapy. However, there are limited relevant studies of the strain of care of nurses in China when caring for patients with delirium. This study, thus, aimed to investigate the subjective level of the strain of care experienced by pulmonary and critical care nurses when caring for patients with delirium. Methods This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. A survey was conducted with 100 nurses in the Chinese pulmonary and critical care medical (PCCM) department in 2018. The Strain of Care for Delirium Index (SCDI) was used to measure nurses’ strain of care. Participants were instructed to rate the degree of perceived difficulty in managing patients who displayed the behaviours listed in the SCDI, on a scale from 1 (quite easy) to 4 (very difficult). The mean ± standard deviation (SD) scores of the ranked difficulty scores were calculated. Results In our sample, 47 % of the nurses had received delirium-related training previously. The three wards with the highest strain of care scores when caring for patients with delirium were the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ward (3.29 ± 0.72), interstitial lung disease ward (3.11 ± 1.31), and respiratory intensive care unit (3.02 ± 0.78). The three types of patient behaviours associated with the highest degree of nursing strain of care were being uncooperative and difficult to manage (3.37 ± 0.84), pulling out tubes and tearing out dressings (3.33 ± 0.98), and irritability (3.22 ± 0.95). Conclusions This study is the first to focus on nurses’ subjective strain of care when caring for patients with delirium in PCCM departments in China. The findings suggest the need to pay more attention to the working status of Chinese nurses. Further trials with large samples assessing relevant outcomes of patients with delirium are warranted.
