RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: In the application of machine learning to the prediction of hypertension, many factors have seriously affected the classification accuracy and generalization performance. We propose a pulse wave classification model based on multi-feature fusion for accuracy prediction of hypertension. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We propose an ensemble under-sampling model with dynamic weights to decrease the influence of class imbalance on classification, further to automatically classify of hypertension on inquiry diagnosis. We also build a deep learning model based on hybrid attention mechanism, which transforms pulse waves to feature maps for extraction of in-depth features, so as to automatically classify hypertension on pulse diagnosis. We build the multi-feature fusion model based on dynamic Dempster/Shafer (DS) theory combining inquiry diagnosis and pulse diagnosis to enhance fault tolerance of prediction for multiple classifiers. In addition, this study calculates feature importance ranking of scale features on inquiry diagnosis and temporal and frequency-domain features on pulse diagnosis. RESULTS: The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score and G-mean after 5-fold cross-validation were 94.08%, 93.43%, 96.86%, 93.45% and 95.12%, respectively, based on the hypertensive samples of 409 cases from Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. We find the key factors influencing hypertensive classification accuracy, so as to assist in the prevention and clinical diagnosis of hypertension. CONCLUSION: Compared with the state-of-the-art models, the multi-feature fusion model effectively utilizes the patients' correlated multimodal features, and has higher classification accuracy and generalization performance.
RESUMO
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-secreted crystal (Cry) toxins form oligomeric pores in host cell membranes and are a common element in generating insect-resistant transgenic crops. Although Cry toxin function has been well documented, cellular defences against pore-formation have not been as well developed. Elucidation of the processes underlying this defence, however, could contribute to the development of enhanced Bt crops. Here, we demonstrate that Cry1Ca-mediated downregulation of microRNA-7322-5p (miR-7322-5p), which binds to the 3' untranslated region of p38, negatively regulates the susceptibility of Chilo suppressalis to Cry1Ca. Moreover, Cry1Ca exposure enhanced phosphorylation of Hsp19, and hsp19 downregulation increased susceptibility to Cry1Ca. Further, Hsp19 phosphorylation occurs downstream of p38, and pull-down assays confirmed the interactions between Hsp19 and Cry1Ca, suggesting that activation of Hsp19 by the miR-7322-5p/p38/Hsp19 pathway promotes Cry1Ca sequestration. To assess the efficacy of targeting this pathway in planta, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting C. suppressalis p38 (dsp38) was introduced into a previously generated cry1Ca-expressing rice line (1CH1-2) to yield a single-copy cry1Ca/dsp38 rice line (p38-rice). Feeding on this rice line triggered a significant reduction in C. suppressalis p38 expression and the line was more resistant to C. suppressalis than 1CH1-2 in both short term (7-day) and continuous feeding bioassays as well as field trials. These findings provide new insights into invertebrate epithelium cellular defences and demonstrate a potential new pyramiding strategy for Bt crops.

AIMS: Soil quality is undergoing severe degradation under anthropogenic effects. Different methods of land management have been implemented for soil reclamation, such as turfing. Although widely accepted to improve soil quality, turfing in specific environments may also culminate in soil deterioration. We aim to know how turfing impacts soils by changing mycobiomes. METHODS AND RESULTS: The soil physicochemical properties and ITS metabarcoding were used to investigate mycobiome diversity and eco-function differences between the eudicot Dianthus plumarius and the monocot Poa pratensis in dry, cold, and high-alkali soil. The effects of plantation and the rhizosphere (e.g. root exudates) were tested. We showed that the change in soil mycobiomes in different planted bulk soils and rhizospheres could mainly be attributed to species turnover, with minor nestedness. Unexpectedly, the soil deteriorates more following turfing. The increasing saprotrophs in planted bulk soil were more marked in the monocot than in the eudicot, even the rhizosphere effect alleviated saprotrophic risks in the rhizosphere. CONCLUSIONS: Turfing deteriorates the health of high-alkali soil by reducing nitrification, and upshift the soil saprotrophs in a dry and cold environment.

Aluminium phosphide (ALP) and aluminium zinc phosphide (ZnP), the two main ingredients of fumigation drugs, are commonly used to kill insects or rodents in grain. When exposed to water, highly toxic phosphine gas is released and absorbed through the respiratory or digestive tract. Phosphine gas could non-selectively block cytochrome oxidase, inhibit electron transfer and suppress oxidative phosphorylation, leading to cellular hypoxia and organ dysfunction. The characteristic clinical manifestations are refractory shock and metabolic acidosis with high mortality. However, patients with ALP poisoning have a chance to be cured. Here, we report a case of oral ALP poisoning that was successfully treated by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) combined with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during frequent ventricular fibrillation and cardiac dysfunction.

The neuro developmental condition known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects people on a lifetime basis and exhibits itself in a wide range of ways. In this research work a brand-new semi-supervised training method for the recognition of discrete multi-modal autism spectrum disorder is proposed. At the coarse-grained level, we consider that various methodologies are anticipated to explore equivalent information about child autism. To build DC AlexNet, this combines two small network branches and a large network (trunk network). The network trunk is programmed just to become familiar with the distinguishing characteristics shared by face images at different resolutions. It is built using recently suggested residential components. To project images to a place where their ranges are as little as possible, two branch networks are programmed to learn coupled-mappings (CMs) that are particular to a given resolution. The suggested technique is properly assessed utilizing the databases for the OMEGE and DIAEMO datasets by evaluating it to state-of-the-art techniques in terms of many parameters. Deep Coupled AlexNet is developed to obtain 98.13 % of accuracy, 95.1 % of precision, 94.3 % of recall and 95.4 of F1-score for OMEGE dataset. Moreover, 98.6 % of accuracy, 97.2 % of precision, 98.5 of recall and 97.5 % of F1-score for DIAEMO dataset (Tab. 8, Fig. 10, Ref. 16). Keywords: autism spectrum disorder, artificial neural networks, emotion recognition, interaction design, multimodal factors.

Milk is a highly nutritional food rich in protein and fat that is prone to deterioration by oxidation and glycation reactions at storage and processing. In this study, glycation products and lipid oxidation products contents in skim milk, whole milk, and milk fat simulation groups were determined to evaluate the effect of milk fat components on glycation at 120 °C for 60 min. The increase rate of carbonyl compound, main advanced glycation end products (AGEs) levels, and glycation sites number of α-casein and ß-casein are higher in whole milk than that in skim milk, indicating that milk fat promoted protein glycation significantly. In milk fat simulation groups, oleic acid and linoleic acid (LA) were added to milk fat in skim milk proportionally, promoting the formation of glycation products; however, palmitic acid had no such effect. LA exhibited strong promotion on AGEs formation. Lipid oxidation radicals, protein carbonyl amine condensation, and carbonyl compound formation were critical factors for milk glycation, according to OPLS-DA results. Therefore, radicals of fat oxidation are speculated to trigger the early glycation, and carbonyl compounds of fat oxidation act as important intermediates of glycation, fat type, form, and its degradation rate, thus play essential roles in milk glycation.

RESUMO
Phytoreclamation is the intervention of plants to improve degraded soil quality, changing soil biotic and abiotic properties. Many studies have focused on microbial composition and bioactivity, but few explored the changes in phylogenetic assemblages of soil microbiota after phytoreclamation. This study compared microbiomes of bare land to those of planted soils and investigated how the rhizosphere environment affects microbial assemblages from monocot Poa pratensis and eudicot Dianthus plumarius plantings using 16S rRNA metabarcoding. The results showed that the biotic susceptibility of soil to the rhizosphere environment was higher than that of the abiotic. A noticeable change was in some soil physicochemical properties like Na, P, Zn, Cu, C, and sand-to-silt proportion before and after phytoreclamation, but not between the rhizosphere and bulk soil of plantings. Contrastingly, microbial composition and diversity were significantly affected by both turfing and rhizosphere effects and were more susceptible to differences in turfing or not than in planting species. In the turfgrass, the microbiome differences between plants were greater in the rhizosphere than in the surrounding bulk soil, indicating the proximal influence of root exudates. We also found that the main abiotic factors that influenced microbial composition were Na, Zn, NOx, N, and S; as for the phylogenetic assemblages, were by K levels and the increase of silt. Turfgrass decomposes soil aggregates and changes the physicochemical properties, thereby evens the phylogenetic clustering of the soil microbial community. We demonstrated that the deterministic process affects the microbial assemblage and acts as a selective agent of the soil microbiota in fundamental and realized niches. Phytoreclamation may lead to abiotic soil changes that reallocate resources to microbes. This could affect the phylogeny of the microbial assemblages and increase microbial richness.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, gene knockdown technology using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has been widely used as an environment-friendly pest control strategy, but its instability and limited cellular uptake have limited its overall effect. Studies have shown that the efficiency of single dsRNA can be improved by using various nanomaterials. However, the effect of stacked-dsRNA wrapped by nanomaterial on pests remains unclear. In the present study, both CYP15C1 and C-factor genes were cloned from the midgut of C. suppressalis, and the transcript of C-factor is most highly expressed in heads. Feeding a dsCYP15C1 or dsC-factor - nanomaterial mixture can downregulate the gene expression and significantly increase larval mortality. More importantly, feeding the stacked-dsRNA wrapped by nanomaterial can significantly increase the mortality of C. suppressalis, compared with feeding dsCYP15C1 or dsC-factor - nanomaterial mixture alone. These results showed that CYP15C1 and C-factor could be potential targets for an effective management of C. suppressalis, and we developed a nanoparticle-facilitated stacked-dsRNA strategy in the control of C. suppresallis. Our research provides a theoretical basis for gene function analysis and field pest control, and will promote the application of RNAi technology in the stacked style of pest control.

The pepper cultivar Yellow Lantern, one of the spiciest pepper varieties, is a local germplasm of Capsicum chinense, cultivated exclusively on Hainan Island, China. However, this variety is susceptible to viral diseases that severely affect its production. In this study, we report that pepper veinal mottle virus (PVMV) is associated with foliar chlorosis and rugosity symptoms in Yellow Lantern. To verify this correlation, we constructed a full-length cDNA clone of a PVMV isolate named HNu. The virus progeny derived from the cDNA clone replicated and moved systemically in the pepper, inducing the same symptoms as those induced by PVMV-HNu in Yellow Lantern peppers in the field. The results support that PVMV-HNu is the causal agent of foliar chlorosis and rugosity disease in Yellow Lantern. This knowledge will help in the diagnosis and prevention of disease caused by PVMV. Furthermore, the cDNA clone serves as a reverse genetic tool to study the molecular pathogenesis of PVMV.

The pulse measurement instrument is based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is used to collect the pulse of patients to assist in diagnosis and treatment. In the existing pulse measurement system, desktop devices have large volumes, complex pressure adjusting operations, and unstable pressurization. Wearable devices tend to have no pressurization function or the function to pressurize three channels separately, which are not consistent with the diagnostic method in TCM. This study constructs a wearable pulse measurement system using airbags for pressurization. This system uses guide plates, guide grooves, and positioning screws to adjust the relative position of the wristband and locate Cun, Guan and Chi regions. The pulse signal measured by the sensor is collected and sent to a computer by microcontroller unit. In experiments, this system successfully obtains the best pulse-taking pressure, its pulse waveform under continuous decompression, and the pulse waveform of three regions under light, medium, and heavy pressure. Compared with the existing technology, the system has the advantages of supporting single-region and three-region pulse acquisition, independent pressure adjustment, and position adjustment. It meets the needs of home, medical, and experimental research, and it is convenient and comfortable to wear and easy to carry.
RESUMO
The complete genomic sequence of a telosma mosaic virus (TeMV) isolate (named PasFru), identified in passion fruit in China, was determined. The entire RNA genome of PasFru comprises 10,049 nucleotides (nt) excluding the poly(A) tail and encodes a polyprotein of 3,173 amino acids (aa), flanked by 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTR) of 276 and 251 nt, respectively. Compared with the previous TeMV isolate Hanoi from Telosma cordata, the only documented isolate with the entire genome sequence annotated, PasFru had an extra 87 nt and 89 aa residues at the 3'-end of 5'UTR and the N-terminus of the P1 protein, respectively, which contributed to the genome size difference between PasFru and Hanoi (10,049 nt versus 9,689 nt). Pairwise sequence comparisons showed that PasFru shares 73.6% nt and 80.9% aa sequence identity with the Hanoi isolate at the whole-genome and polyprotein level, respectively, and these values are below the corresponding threshold values for species demarcation in the family Potyviridae. These data suggest that TeMV-PasFru should be classified as a new member of the genus Potyvirus.

This paper discusses the vibration-induced error in non-ideal MEMS tuning fork gyroscopes (TFGs). Ideal TFGs which are thought to be immune to vibrations do not exist, and imbalance between two gyros of TFGs is an inevitable phenomenon. Three types of fabrication imperfections (i.e., stiffness imbalance, mass imbalance, and damping imbalance) are studied, considering different imbalance radios. We focus on the coupling types of two gyros of TFGs in both drive and sense directions, and the vibration sensitivities of four TFG designs with imbalance are simulated and compared. It is found that non-ideal TFGs with two gyros coupled both in drive and sense directions (type CC TFGs) are the most insensitive to vibrations with frequencies close to the TFG operating frequencies. However, sense-axis vibrations with in-phase resonant frequencies of a coupled gyros system result in severe error outputs to TFGs with two gyros coupled in the sense direction, which is mainly attributed to the sense capacitance nonlinearity. With increasing stiffness coupled ratio of the coupled gyros system, the sensitivity to vibrations with operating frequencies is cut down, yet sensitivity to vibrations with in-phase frequencies is amplified.

Three new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins named celosins H, I, and J were isolated from the seeds of Celosia argentea L. Their structures were characterized as 3-O-ß-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 â 3)-ß-D-glucuronopyranosyl-polygalagenin 28-O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl ester, 3-O-ß-D-glucuronopyranosyl-medicagenic acid 28-O-ß-D-xylcopyranosyl-(1 â 4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 â 2)-ß-D-fucopyranosyl ester, and 3-O-ß-D-glucuronopyranosyl-medicagenic acid 28-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1 â 3)-[ß-D-xylcopyranosyl-(1 â 4)]-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 â 2)-ß-D-fucopyranosyl ester by NMR, MS, and chemical evidences, respectively. In our opinion, celosins H-J could be used as chemical markers for the quality control of C. argentea seeds.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in articular cartilage damage in osteoarthritis (OA). However, the biological role of miRNAs in the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) remains largely unclear. Rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) were isolated, cultured, and identified. Afterwards, rBMSCs were induced to chondrogenic differentiation, examined by Alcian Blue staining. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in rBMSCs between induced and non-induced groups by miRNA sequencing analysis, part of which was validated via PCR assay. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by CCK-8 assay and Hoechst staining. Saffron O staining was utilized to assess chondrocyte hyperplasia. The expression of specific chondrogenic markers, including COL2A1, SOX9, Runx2, MMP-13, Aggrecan, and BMP-2, were measured at mRNA and protein levels. The association between beta-transducin repeat containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (BTRC) and miR-10a-5p in the miRNA family from rabbit (ocu-miR-10a-5p) was determined by luciferase reporter assay. A total of 76 differentially expressed miRNAs, including 52 downregulated and 24 upregulated miRNAs, were identified in rBMSCs from the induced group. Inhibition of ocu-miR-10a-5p suppressed rBMSC viability and chondrogenic differentiation, as well as downregulated the expression of ß-catenin, SOX9, COL2A1, MMP-13, and Runx2. BTRC was predicted and confirmed as a target of ocu-miR-10a-5p. Overexpression of BTRC rescued the promoting impacts of overexpressed ocu-miR-10a-5p on chondrogenic differentiation of rBMSCs and ß-catenin expression. Taken together, our data suggested that ocu-miR-10a-5p facilitated rabbit BMSC survival and chondrogenic differentiation by activating Wnt/ß-catenin signaling through BTRC.

The application of deep learning to the classification of pulse waves in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) related to hypertensive target organ damage (TOD) is hindered by challenges such as low classification accuracy and inadequate generalization performance. To address these challenges, we introduce a lightweight transfer learning model named MobileNetV2SCP. This model transforms time-domain pulse waves into 36-dimensional frequency-domain waveform feature maps and establishes a dedicated pre-training network based on these maps to enhance the learning capability for small samples. To improve global feature correlation, we incorporate a novel fusion attention mechanism (SAS) into the inverted residual structure, along with the utilization of 3 × 3 convolutional layers and BatchNorm layers to mitigate model overfitting. The proposed model is evaluated using cross-validation results from 805 cases of pulse waves associated with hypertensive TOD. The assessment metrics, including Accuracy (92.74 %), F1-score (91.47 %), and Area Under Curve (AUC) (97.12 %), demonstrate superior classification accuracy and generalization performance compared to various state-of-the-art models. Furthermore, this study investigates the correlations between time-domain and frequency-domain features in pulse waves and their classification in hypertensive TOD. It analyzes key factors influencing pulse wave classification, providing valuable insights for the clinical diagnosis of TOD.
