Virtual Simulation Design Facing Smart Payment Screen on the Background of Artificial Intelligence by Yan Li, Xiao Wang

“…The elderly group believed that the use of the smart payment screen based on virtual simulation technology had the slowest improvement in ease of use, an increase of 9.4%; the average payment time of each place has decreased, the average payment time of place 4 was the longest, and the average payment time of place 6 was the shortest, and it was concluded that the higher the payment success rate was, the shortest payment time was; in terms of the user’s preference for the smart payment screen, it was concluded that 18:00 was the peak period for users to use the smart payment screen; in terms of risk assessment of using smart payment screens, it was concluded that compared with traditional payment screens, operational risk was reduced by 3.88%, credit risk was reduced by 4.67%, liquidity risk was reduced by 5.06%, and settlement risk was reduced by 6.01%. …”

Guanidine‐Derived Polymeric Nanoinhibitors Target the Lysosomal V‐ATPase and Activate AMPK Pathway to Ameliorate Liver Lipid Accumulation by Yunfei Zhao, Ke Hu, Fangliang Wang, Lulu Zhao, Yu Su, Jun Chen, Gang Zou, Liming Yang, Li Wei, Mengjiao Deng, Yunyu He, Ping Wang, Xiong Z Ruan, Yaxi Chen, Chao Yu

“…It is found that PGNIs stabilize guanidine metabolism in the liver, preferably for biosafety. More importantly, PGNI is ingested and localized in hepatocyte lysosomes and is locked to interact with vesicular adenosine triphosphatase (V‐ATPase) on lysosomes, leading to the inhibition of V‐ATPase and lysosomal acidification, thereby activating the AMPK pathway, reducing fatty acid synthesis, and enhancing lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation. …”
