RESUMO

Coverage path planning (CPP) is essential for robotic tasks, such as environmental monitoring and terrain surveying, which require covering all surface areas of interest. As the pioneering approach to CPP, inspired by the concept of predation risk in predator-prey relations, the predator-prey CPP (PPCPP) has the benefit of adaptively covering arbitrary bent 2-D manifolds and can handle unexpected changes in an environment, such as the sudden introduction of dynamic obstacles. However, it can only work in bounded environment and cannot handle tasks in unbounded one, e.g., search and rescue tasks where the search boundary is unknown. Sometimes, robots are required to handle both bounded and unbounded environments, i.e., dual environments, such as capturing criminals in a city. Once encountering a building, the robot enters it to cover the bounded environment, then continues to cover the unbounded one when leaving the building. Therefore, the capability of swarm robots for the coverage tasks both in bounded and unbounded environments is important. In nature, herbivores live in groups to find more food and reduce the risk of predation. Especially the juvenile ones prefer to forage near the herd to protect themselves. Inspired by the foraging behavior of animals in a herd, this article proposes an online adaptive CPP approach that enables swarm robots to handle both bounded and unbounded environments without knowing the environmental information in advance, called dual-environmental herd-foraging-based CPP (DH-CPP). It's performance is evaluated in dual environments with stationary and dynamic obstacles of different shapes and quantity, and compared with three state-of-the-art approaches. Simulation results demonstrate that it is highly effective to handle dual environments.

RESUMO

In single-wavelength digital holography (DH), the phase wrapping phenomenon limits the total object depth that can be measured due to the requirement for well-resolved phase fringes. To address this limitation, dual-wavelength DH is proposed, enabling measurement of much deeper objects. In single-wavelength DH, because the object depth is limited, the depth of focus (DOF) of DH's optical system at a reconstruction distance is sufficient to cover the object depth. To date, many autofocusing algorithms have been proposed to obtain a correct reconstruction distance. However, in dual-wavelength DH, because the object depth is extended, the DOF at a reconstruction distance cannot cover the extended object depth. The extended object depth can span multiple DOFs, causing partially out of focus object depth. Therefore, in dual-wavelength DH, relying solely on autofocusing algorithms for a single distance is insufficient. But extended autofocusing algorithms, which can autofocus objects through multiple DOFs, are demanded. However, there are no such extended autofocusing algorithms in dual-wavelength DH. Therefore, we propose an extended autofocusing algorithm for dual-wavelength DH based on a correlation coefficient. The proposed algorithm is able to focus the whole object depth when the depth spans multiple DOFs. Through theoretical analysis, simulations, and experiments, the necessity and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are verified.

RESUMO

JAK/STAT signaling pathway is involved in important biological processes, such as cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and immune regulation, and is one of the most important signal transduction pathways mediated by cytokines. JAK/STAT is a relatively conserved signaling pathway in insects, which is the main immune pathway together with Toll signaling pathway and Imd signaling pathway to resist the invasion of pathogens. It plays a vital role in insect immunity, hormone regulation and other physiological regulation processes. In this review, we summarize the cytokine receptor superfamily, JAKs family, STATs family, JAK/STAT signaling pathway and its mechanism of negative feedback regulation. We analyze the important functions and the latest research progress of JAK/STAT signaling pathway in insect infected by parasites, viruses and fungi. Finally, we propose the remaining problems in the study of JAK/STAT signaling pathway, so as to provide direction and reference for further research in this field.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 (ALOX5) expression and methylation, and explore the immune functions of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression in low-grade glioma (LGG). Materials and Methods: Using efficient bioinformatics approaches, the differential expression of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 and the association of its expression with clinicopathological characteristics were evaluated. Then, we analyzed the prognostic significance of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression and its methylation level followed by immune cell infiltration analysis. The functional enrichment analysis was conducted to determine the possible regulatory pathways of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 in low-grade glioma. Finally, the drug sensitivity analysis was performed to explore the correlation between arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression and chemotherapeutic drugs. Results: arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 mRNA expression was increased in low-grade glioma and its expression had a notable relation with age and subtype (p < 0.05). The elevated mRNA level of arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 could independently predict the disease-specific survival (DSS), overall survival (OS), and progression-free interval (PFI) (p < 0.05). Besides, arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression was negatively correlated with its methylation level and the arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 hypomethylation led to a worse prognosis (p < 0.05). The arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression also showed a positive connection with immune cells, while low-grade glioma patients with higher immune cell infiltration had poor survival probability (p < 0.05). Further, arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 might be involved in immune- and inflammation-related pathways. Importantly, arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 expression was negatively related to drug sensitivity. Conclusion: arachidonate lipoxygenases 5 might be a promising biomarker, and it probably occupies a vital role in immune cell infiltration in low-grade glioma.

RESUMO

Pharmaceuticals are necessary to be removed from environment. Herein TiO2 incorporated biochar made from pyrolysis of agricultural wastes was encapsulated into chitosan to obtain a novel hydrogel beads. This hydrogel beads executed a dual role as both adsorbent and sonocatalyst, which proved to be suitable for the removal of antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIP) from water. The results showed that adsorption of CIP followed pseudo first order kinetics model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, having maximum adsorption at pH 9. Whereas the degradation was more efficient at pH 6 due to greater standard potential for •OH/H2O in acidic media. The degradation was maximum at 150 W of ultrasonic power, then decreased in presence of dissimilar electrolytes and even reduced to 0 in presence of Na3PO4. Different quenchers such as benzoquinone (BQ), Triethanolamine (TEA) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) reduced degradation efficiency (DE) and mineralization efficiency (ME). The DE was decreased from 85.23% to 81.50% (BQ), 74.27% (TEA), and 61.77% (IPA) within 25 min. The prepared sonocatalyst was capable of regeneration with DE, remaining sufficiently high (62%) even after four regeneration steps. These results indicate that titanium-biochar/chitosan hydrogel beads (TBCB) are durable and effective for long-term CIP removal.

RESUMO

To explore the function of transcription factor 3 (TCF3) on the proliferation and apoptosis of Burkitt lymphoma cells and its mechanism. qRT-PCR was performed to determine the expression of TCF3, histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3), and microRNA-101 (miR-101) in the Burkitt lymphoma (BL) tumor tissues and lymph node tissues with reactive lymph node hyperplasia (RLNH). We found that the expression of TCF3 and HDAC3 was up-regulated in BL tumor tissues and lymphoma cells, and the miR-101 expression was down-regulated. And TCF3 and HDAC3 were negatively correlated with the expression of miR-101, respectively. In addition, knockdown of TCF3 can inhibit BL cell proliferation, reduce cell viability and promote cell apoptosis, retain the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase, and inhibit the expression of Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins (p-Akt and p-mTOR). When miR-101 was overexpressed, the results were the same as when TCF3 was knocked down. Moreover, we used Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) to detect the interaction between TCF3 and HDAC3, and performed the Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiment to detect the enrichment of TCF3 and HDAC3 in the promoter region of miR-101. We found that TCF3 can interact with HDAC3 and is enriched in the miR-101 promoter region. In conclusion, TCF3 combined with HDAC3 down-regulates the expression of miR-101, thereby promoting the proliferation of BL cells and inhibiting their apoptosis.

RESUMO

Hauser's engraver beetle, Ips hauseri, is a serious pest in spruce forest ecosystems in Central Asia. Its monoterpenoid signal production, transcriptome responses and potential regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. The quality and quantity of volatile metabolites in hindgut extracts of I. hauseri were found to differ between males and females and among three groups: beetles that were newly emerged, those with a topical application of juvenile hormone III (JHIII) and those that had been feeding for 24 h. Feeding males definitively dominated monoterpenoid signal production in I. hauseri, which uses (4S)-(-)-ipsenol and (S)-(-)-cis-verbenol to implement reproductive segregation from Ipstypographus and Ipsshangrila. Feeding stimulation induced higher expression of most genes related to the biosynthesis of (4S)-(-)-ipsenol than JHIII induction, and showed a male-specific mode in I. hauseri. JHIII stimulated males to produce large amounts of (-)-verbenone and also upregulated the expression of several CYP6 genes, to a greater extent in males than in females. The expression of genes involved in the metabolism of JHIII in females and males was also found to be upregulated. Our results indicate that a species-specific aggregation pheromone system for I. hauseri, consisting of (4S)-(-)-ipsenol and S-(-)-cis-verbenol, can be used to monitor population dynamics or mass trap killing. Our results also enable a better understanding of the bottom-up role of feeding behaviors in mediating population reproduction/aggregation and interspecific interactions.

RESUMO

To investigate the role of circKDM4C in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the expression of circKDM4C, hsa-let-7b-5p, and P53 was measured by qRT-RCR. AML cell lines(K-562 and HL-60) were transfected correspondingly and investigated for cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities by CCK-8, colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays, respectively. The levels of P53, ACSL4, PTGS2, GPX4, and FTH1 in the K-562, and HL-60 cells were measured by western blotting. Also, circKDM4C mediated regulation of ferroptosis was studied. The Phen Green SK probe and confocal laser scanning microscope were used to assess the cellular iron levels. The reactive oxygen species levels were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting using the C11-BODIPY probe. Bioinformatics analysis predicted the putative binding sites among circKDM4C, hsa-let-7b-5p, and P53. These were verified using the dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Finally, in vitro findings were also verified in vivo using the nude mice. CircKDM4C was significantly down-regulated in AML patients. The overexpression of circKDM4C in AML cell lines inhibited the cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and promoted ferroptosis. We found that circKDM4C acts as a sponge of hsa-let-7b-5p and thereby regulates p53 which is a target gene of hsa-let-7b-5p. Also, the expression of circKDM4C and hsa-let-7b-5p are negatively correlated, while circKDM4C and p53 are positively correlated to AML patients. Moreover, we found that circKDM4C induces ferroptosis by sponging hsa-let-7b-5p which upregulates the expression of P53. This work emphasizes the role of circKDM4C in AML patients, which could be explored for the therapeutic role.

RESUMO

Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is a major polyphagous pest with the potential to seriously damage various crops. A better understanding of FAW's performance on different hosts may help to predict which plants will be attacked when the preferred host is absent, and facilitate the development of effective pest management practices. We compared the larval performance of FAW fed on maize with that of FAW fed on potato and tobacco, which are important crops in China, using an age-stage two-sex life table and adult female oviposition preference experiments. In cage experiments with potato, tobacco, or maize as the host, FAW reared on maize exhibited the strongest performance with shorter developmental time in the larval stage, longer longevity, and a higher reproductive rate in adults. Females oviposited on maize in preference to potato or tobacco. Compared with larvae fed on maize, those fed on potato and tobacco exhibited significantly lower survival, with only 31.61% and 8.13% developing to the adult stage, respectively. Several life table parameters, including the mean generation time (T), net reproductive rate (R0 ), finite rate of increase (λ), and intrinsic rate of natural increase (r) were negatively affected in FAW fed on potato and tobacco. Our results support the preference-performance hypothesis, that is, that herbivore females maximize fitness by choosing host plants associated with strong larval performance. Although larvae and adults performed poorly on potato and tobacco, their offspring will be capable of establishing populations on them, posing a potential threat to these crops in China.

RESUMO

AIM: To demonstrate local dry vitrectomy combined with segmental scleral buckling and viscoelastic tamponade for the treatment of partial rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with local vitreous traction in patients at high-risk for proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). METHODS: Eleven eyes of 11 patients were retrospectively studied, including 5 retinal dialysis and 6 retinal detachment (RD; 5 eyes with peripheral retinal hole and 1 eye with giant tear). All patients exhibited partial RD and local vitreous traction. Combined local dry vitrectomy without conventional infusion and segmental scleral buckling was performed. Viscoelastic fluid was injected into the vitreous cavity if needed. Demographic information, preoperative and post-operative complications, and outcomes were recorded. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients at presentation was 26.55±13.52y. All 11 patients obtained retinal reattachment after a single surgical intervention. Postoperative visual acuities were improved or remained stable in all patients. None of them developed complications, except for temporary mildly increased intraocular pressure in 3 cases. CONCLUSION: Combined local dry vitrectomy and segmental scleral buckling are effective for patients of RRD with local vitreous traction. The technique avoids many complications associated with regular surgery and was minimally invasive to both the external and internal eye.

RESUMO

A novel magnetic field sensor based on the degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique is theoretically proposed using a As2S3-core silica-cladding photonic crystal fiber (PCF). In order to enhance the sensitivity, we put forth a novel design of highly nonlinear PCF where the silica cladding is doped with either Au, Ag, or Al metallic nanoparticles. The effect of volume fraction of the nanoparticles within the cladding and the size of nanoparticles are considered as the control parameters in designing the magnetic field PCF sensor to obtain high sensitivity using this novel DFWM scheme. The PCF structure of the proposed sensor is optimized with the proposed pitch of 3 µm and air hole diameter of 2.78 µm. We consider a pumping pulsed laser light with a wavelength of 2100 nm in the mid-IR regime. It has been found that the optimized PCF with Al-SiO2-cladding with small volume fraction and small nanoparticle size possess magnetic field sensitivity values of 2.74 and -0.058 nm/Oe for the Stokes and anti-Stokes gain lines.

RESUMO

Early brain injury (EBI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) contributes to high morbidity and mortality. Although it is well recognized that acute neuroinflammation reaction is one of the most important triggers of EBI, pharmacotherapy proved to be clinically effective against the initiating of neuroinflammation after SAH is lacking. The resident microglia and infiltrated peripheral monocyte are two main types of immune cells in central nervous system (CNS) and control the inflammation process in brain after SAH. But the time course and relative contributions of these two immune cell activations after SAH are unknown. The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), member of TNF receptor superfamily, expresses on infiltrated peripheral monocytes and suppresses their proinflammatory action after brain insults. But the p75NTR expression on resident microglia in vivo is rarely explored and their function keeps elusive. Therefore, we designed this study to investigate the time course of resident microglia activation and peripheral monocyte infiltration, as well as the microglial expression of p75NTR by using CX3C-chemokine receptor 1 (Cx3cr1) and chemokine receptor 2 (Ccr2) double transgenic mice (Cx3cr1GFP/+Ccr2RFP/+) after SAH. The results showed activated microglia was observed in cortex as early as 24 h and further increased at 48 and 72 h post SAH, while the infiltrated monocyte was not found until 72h. In addition, activated microglia expressed p75NTR acutely and p75NTR specific antagonist TAT-Pep5 significantly reduced microglia activation, neuroinflammation and EBI from 24 to 72 h. Together, these data suggest that the early neuroinflammation reaction might be initiated and intensified mainly by resident microglia rather than infiltrated monocyte at least in the first 48 h after SAH and p75NTR blockading by TAT-Pep5P might alleviate EBI through mediating microglial activation.

RESUMO

A pot experiment was carried out to test the effects of salt levels on root morphology as well as the relationship between root morphology and salt tolerance with four cotton cultivars (salt-sensitive cultivar CCRI45, weak salt-resistance cultivar XLZ17, moderate salt-resistance cultivar XLZ13 and salt-resistance cultivar CCRI35). Results showed that dry mass and K+/Na+ ratio of cotton root and leaf were significantly reduced by salt stress. Dry mass of root and leaf and K+/Na+ ratio of root of cultivars XLZ13 and CCRI35 were 69.3%-104.4%, 24.8%-45.3% and 25.0%-45.8% higher than those of cultivar CCRI45, respectively. Root development was significantly restrained by salt stress. Total root length, total root surface area and total root volume of cultivars XLZ13 and CCRI35 were 15.2%-85.8%, 12.0%-68.5% and 31.7%-217.8% higher than those of cultivar CCRI45, respectively. Furthermore, the length of fine and middle roots, root surface area and root volume of cultivars XLZ13 and CCRI35 in 0-10 cm soil layer were 27.2%-73.9%, 39.6%-74.3% and 99.0%-309.7% higher than those of cultivar CCRI45, respectively. Results from principal component analysis showed that the variations of specific root length, root length ratio at 0-10 cm soil layer and fine root length ratio at 0-10 cm soil layer among cultivars was significant. Specific root length, root length ratio at 0-10 cm soil layer and fine root length ratio at 0-10 cm soil layer were the main root characters to distinguish different salt tolerant cotton cultivars. Results from the stepwise regression analysis showed that specific root length, coarse root length, coarse root area, and coarse root volume at 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm soil layers, as well as fine root area and middle root ratio at 0-10 cm soil layer were sensitive to salt. Salt tolerant cultivar adapted to salt stress through increasing root length ratio, fine length ratio, and specific root length.

RESUMO

AIM: To introduce a two-step method for creating a gastric tube during laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy and assess its clinical application. METHODS: One hundred and twenty-two patients with middle or lower esophageal cancer who underwent laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy at Liaoning Cancer Hospital and Institute from March 2014 to March 2016 were included in this study, and divided into two groups based on the procedure used for creating a gastric tube. One group used a two-step method for creating a gastric tube, and the other group used the conventional method. The two groups were compared regarding the operating time, surgical complications, and number of stapler cartridges used. RESULTS: The mean operating time was significantly shorter in the two-step method group than in the conventional method group [238 (179-293) min vs 272 (189-347) min, P < 0.01]. No postoperative death occurred in either group. There was no significant difference in the rate of complications [14 (21.9%) vs 13 (22.4%), P = 0.55] or mean number of stapler cartridges used [5 (4-6) vs 5.2 (5-6), P = 0.007] between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The two-step method for creating a gastric tube during laparoscopic-thoracoscopic Ivor-Lewis esophagectomy has the advantages of simple operation, minimal damage to the tubular stomach, and reduced use of stapler cartridges.

RESUMO

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Wuling Powder (WP) combined ventricu- loperitoneal shunt surgery in patients with idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). Methods Totally 56 INPH patients were randomly assigned to the control group and the treatment group, 28 in each group. All patients received ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. Three days after surgery patients in the treatment group took WP, while those in the control group took placebo decoction (one dose per day, once in the morning and once in the evening, 7 days as one course, a total of 6 courses after surgery). Mini- Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, the steps to turn around 180°, and Evan's index were tested be- fore surgery and 3 months after surgery. Adverse reactions were recorded in the two groups. Clinical effica- cy was assessed after 3 months of surgery. Results At month 3 after surgery 21 patients (80. 8%) were cured and 3 patients (11. 5%) were improved in the treatment group, with statistical difference when com- pared with the control group [14 cured (51. 9%) and 11 improved (40. 7%) ; P <0. 05]. Compared with be- fore surgery in the same group, levels of MMSE score increased and the steps to turn around 1800 were obviously reduced in the two groups at month 3 after surgery (both P <0. 05). Compared with the control group at month 3 after surgery, levels of MMSE score increased and the steps to turn around 1800 were ob- viously reduced in the treatment group (both P <0. 05). Conclusion In treating INPH patierts, WP com- bined ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery was superior to the effect of using ventriculoperitoneal- shunt sur- gery alone.

RESUMO

Carbon nitrides with the increased surface areas (≈90 m(2) g(-1)) were prepared by the heat-treatment of melamine-[Al(NO3)3]⋅9 H2O complexes. Here, [Al(NO3)3]⋅9 H2O was successfully used as a "green template" and a hydrogen-bonding partner of melamine, simultaneously providing a distinct porosity and defined particle morphology for the resulting carbon nitrides. The influence of the solvent and precursors ratio on the stoichiometry of the complexes, as well as the morphology, optical properties, and photocatalytic activity of resulting products for Rhodamine B degradation and sacrificial hydrogen evolution were investigated. We also studied the temperature-induced transformations of the starting complex to access the reaction mechanism. The developed synthesis procedure results in a significantly increased photocatalytic activity (up to 20-fold) compared with that of the ground reference material.

RESUMO

An "ink" (cyanamide) infiltrated anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) stamp is found capable of printing carbon nitride films featuring regular microstructures of the stamp onto the substrates via in situ "chemical vapor deposition". A photocurrent density of 30.2 µA cm(-2 --) at 1.23 VRHE is achieved for a film on a conductive substrate, which is so far the highest value for pure carbon nitride based photoelectrochemical devices.

RESUMO

A carbon nitride array (CNA) material has been constructed using a sacrificial diatom template. A regular carbon nitride nanorod array could be replicated from the periodic and regular nanochannel array of the template. The directional charge transport properties and high light harvesting capability of the CNA gives much better performance in splitting water to give hydrogen than its bulk counterpart. Furthermore, by combining with a rhodium complex as a mediator, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) cofactor of many enzymes could be photocatalytically regenerated by the CNA. The rate of the in situ NADH regeneration is high enough to reverse the biological pathway of the three dehydrogenase enzymes, which then leads to the sustainable conversion of formaldehyde to methanol and also the reduction of carbon dioxide into methanol.
