RESUMO

The synergistic effect of hollow cavities and multiple hetero-interfaces displays huge advantages in achieving lightweight and high-efficient electromagnetic wave absorption, but still confronts huge challenges. Herein, hierarchical Co2 P/CoS2 @C@MoS2 composites via the self-sacrificed strategy and a subsequent hydrothermal method have been successfully synthesized. Specifically, ZIF-67 cores first act as the structural template to form core-shell ZIF-67@poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-4,4'-sulfonyldiphenol) (ZIF-67@PZS) composites, which are converted into hollow Co2 P@C shells with micro-mesoporous characteristics because of the gradient structural stabilities and preferred coordination ability. The deposition of hierarchical MoS2 results in phase transition (Co2 P→Co2 P/CoS2 ), yielding the formation of hierarchical Co2 P/CoS2 @C@MoS2 composites with hollow cavities and multiple hetero-interfaces. Benefiting from the cooperative advantages of hollow structure, extra N,P,S-doped sources, lattice defects/vacancies, diverse incoherent interfaces, and hierarchical configurations, the composites deliver superior electromagnetic wave capability (-56.6 dB) and wideband absorption bandwidth (8.96 GHz) with 20 wt.% filler loading. This study provides a reliable and facile strategy for the precise construction of superior electromagnetic wave absorbents with efficient absorption attenuation.

RESUMO

Multi-heteroatom heterocycle synthesis through direct C-H bond activation is methodologically appealing but synthetically challenging. An efficient double C-N bond formation sequence to prepare quinazolinones utilizing primary amides and oxadiazolones in a catalytic redox-neutral [CoCp*(CO)I2]/AgSbF6 system, where oxadiazolone could function as an internal oxidant to maintain the catalytic cycle, is reported. Amide-directed C-H bond activation and oxadiazolone decarboxylation are key to the success of this traceless, atom- and step-economic, and cascade approach for the construction of the quinazolinone skeleton.

RESUMO

By using difference schemes, orthogonal partitions and a replacement method, some new methods to construct pure quantum error-correcting codes are provided from orthogonal arrays. As an application of these methods, we construct several infinite series of quantum error-correcting codes including some optimal ones. Compared with the existing binary quantum codes, more new codes can be constructed, which have a lower number of terms (i.e., the number of computational basis states) for each of their basis states.

RESUMO

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) not only plays a critical role in cell life activities, but also plays an important role in discovering the mechanism of biological activity, protein function, and disease states. Developing computational methods is of great significance for PPIs prediction since experimental methods are time-consuming and laborious. In this paper, we proposed a PPI prediction algorithm called GRNN-PPI only using the amino acid sequence information based on general regression neural network and two feature extraction methods. Specifically, we designed a new feature extraction method named Mutation Spectral Radius (MSR) to extract evolutionary information by the BLOSUM62 matrix. Meanwhile, we integrated another feature extraction method, autocorrelation description, which can completely extract information on physicochemical properties and protein sequences. The principal component analysis was applied to eliminate noise, and the general regression neural network was adopted as a classifier. The prediction accuracy of the yeast, human, and Helicobacter pylori1 (H. pylori1) data sets were 97.47%, 99.63%, and 99.97%, respectively. In addition, we also conducted experiments on two important PPI networks and six independent data sets. All results were significantly higher than some state-of-the-art methods used for comparison, showing that our method is feasible and robust.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Microbes are closely related to human health and diseases. Identification of disease-related microbes is of great significance for revealing the pathological mechanism of human diseases and understanding the interaction mechanisms between microbes and humans, which is also useful for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. Considering the known disease-related microbes are still insufficient, it is necessary to develop effective computational methods and reduce the time and cost of biological experiments. METHODS: In this work, we developed a novel computational method called MDAKRLS to discover potential microbe-disease associations (MDAs) based on the Kronecker regularized least squares. Specifically, we introduced the Hamming interaction profile similarity to measure the similarities of microbes and diseases besides Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity. In addition, we introduced the Kronecker product to construct two kinds of Kronecker similarities between microbe-disease pairs. Then, we designed the Kronecker regularized least squares with different Kronecker similarities to obtain prediction scores, respectively, and calculated the final prediction scores by integrating the contributions of different similarities. RESULTS: The AUCs value of global leave-one-out cross-validation and 5-fold cross-validation achieved by MDAKRLS were 0.9327 and 0.9023 ± 0.0015, which were significantly higher than five state-of-the-art methods used for comparison. Comparison results demonstrate that MDAKRLS has faster computing speed under two kinds of frameworks. In addition, case studies of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and asthma further showed 19 (IBD), 19 (asthma) of the top 20 prediction disease-related microbes could be verified by previously published biological or medical literature. CONCLUSIONS: All the evaluation results adequately demonstrated that MDAKRLS has an effective and reliable prediction performance. It may be a useful tool to seek disease-related new microbes and help biomedical researchers to carry out follow-up studies.

RESUMO

Previous studies have shown that elevated levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) could inhibit penile erection, but the relationship between HDL and the erection of the penile tip or base has not been extensively researched. We investigated the effects of HDL on erection of the penile tip and base through a cross-sectional study of 113 patients with erectile dysfunction, using a cut-off score of ≤21 on the International Index of Erectile Function-5. The following patient data were collected: nocturnal penile tumescence; blood pressure; platelet count; platelet distribution width; mean platelet volume; plateletcrit; and levels of serum glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, and low-density lipoprotein. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the association between HDL levels and the erection of the penile tip and base. We confirmed that HDL had a beneficial effect on penile erectile function. We also found that when the HDL level exceeded the normal range, the change in HDL had a significant effect on the penile base. In addition, our study did not find any relationship between platelet parameters and erection of the penile tip or penile base.

RESUMO

In order to obtain the typical soil physical properties of reclaimed land more quickly and accurately, the South Dump of the China Coal's Antaibao Open-Pit Mine in Pingshuo was focussed on in this paper, and ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology was utilized to detect the soil physical properties of reclaimed land in the mining area. The soil profile sampling and GPR detection methods were used to acquire the data. The gravel content of surface soil was analyzed by counting the number of isolated gravel signals in GPR images. The change of effective soil thickness was analyzed by establishing the fitting relationship between calibration depth and GPR image depth. The Topp's model was validated by comparing its inversion with the measured soil volumetric water content. And the Topp's model was further validated by the soil volumetric water content obtained from the Topp's model and which obtained from the wave velocity inversion. The results are as follows: (1) Based on the number of isolated gravel signals in GPR images, we could qualitatively analyze the gravel content of surface soil reclaimed in the mining area. As the number of isolated gravel signals was greater, the gravel content of the surface soil was higher. (2) Using the known relative permittivity, electromagnetic wave velocity, and soil volumetric water content, the calibration depth and the reflection depth of the target (calibrator) of the GPR images were segmented, and the correlation between them is high. The fitting relationship (R2) of each segment was higher than 0.940, and the average value of the five-segment R2 was 0.966, which indicated more accurate detection of the effective soil thickness of the reclaimed land in the mining area. (3) GPR could be used to detect the soil volumetric water content of reclaimed land in mining area, and Topp's model was used for calculation of soil volumetric water content. The average deviation rate between the values from Topp's model and the measured values was 12%, and the average absolute value of the difference was 2%. In summary, the benefits of using GPR to detect soil physical properties of reclaimed land in mining area are as follows: (1) GPR can be used to detect soil layer thickness and surface gravel content faster and more accurately. (2) Topp model can also be used to calculate the soil moisture content of non-natural deposits such as reclaimed land in mining area.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The small number of samples and the curse of dimensionality hamper the better application of deep learning techniques for disease classification. Additionally, the performance of clustering-based feature selection algorithms is still far from being satisfactory due to their limitation in using unsupervised learning methods. To enhance interpretability and overcome this problem, we developed a novel feature selection algorithm. In the meantime, complex genomic data brought great challenges for the identification of biomarkers and therapeutic targets. The current some feature selection methods have the problem of low sensitivity and specificity in this field. RESULTS: In this article, we designed a multi-scale clustering-based feature selection algorithm named MCBFS which simultaneously performs feature selection and model learning for genomic data analysis. The experimental results demonstrated that MCBFS is robust and effective by comparing it with seven benchmark and six state-of-the-art supervised methods on eight data sets. The visualization results and the statistical test showed that MCBFS can capture the informative genes and improve the interpretability and visualization of tumor gene expression and single-cell sequencing data. Additionally, we developed a general framework named McbfsNW using gene expression data and protein interaction data to identify robust biomarkers and therapeutic targets for diagnosis and therapy of diseases. The framework incorporates the MCBFS algorithm, network recognition ensemble algorithm and feature selection wrapper. McbfsNW has been applied to the lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) data sets. The preliminary results demonstrated that higher prediction results can be attained by identified biomarkers on the independent LUAD data set, and we also structured a drug-target network which may be good for LUAD therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed novel feature selection method is robust and effective for gene selection, classification, and visualization. The framework McbfsNW is practical and helpful for the identification of biomarkers and targets on genomic data. It is believed that the same methods and principles are extensible and applicable to other different kinds of data sets.

RESUMO

Negative symptoms in schizophrenia have been associated with functional changes in frontostriatal pathways. Dysregulation of the dopamine signal in frontostriatal pathways leads to the symptomology observed in schizophrenia. Although the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene, one of the susceptibility genes for schizophrenia, has been associated with dopamine activities in prefrontal and striatal regions, it is still unclear whether the disease state and COMT val158 met genotype have an interaction effect on the functional connectivity of frontostriatal pathways. In this study, we evaluated the possible interactions between COMT val158 met variations and the disease state on the resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) of frontostriatal pathways in fifty-one first episode schizophrenia (FES) patients (val/val: 29, met +: 22) with prominent negative symptoms and forty-eight healthy controls (val/val: 31, met +: 17). Regions of interest were defined by the result of a meta-analysis of frontostriatal pathways using the Neurosynth database. We found a significant genotype × disease interaction effect on the RSFC between the bilateral anterior cingulate (ACC) and right caudate, which overlapped with the main effect of the disease state. Behavioural regression analysis suggested that RSFC between the right ACC and right caudate correlated with the severity of SANS avolition-apathy scores in patients who were met carriers but not in patients who were val homozygous. Our findings suggest that the RSFC of frontostriatal pathways may differentially affected by an individual's COMT val158 met genotype.

RESUMO

Identification of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) plays an essential role in the understanding of protein functions and cellular biological activities. However, the traditional experiment-based methods are time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, developing new reliable computational approaches has great practical significance for the identification of PPIs. In this paper, a novel prediction method is proposed for predicting PPIs using graph energy, named PPI-GE. Particularly, in the process of feature extraction, we designed two new feature extraction methods, the physicochemical graph energy based on the ionization equilibrium constant and isoelectric point and the contact graph energy based on the contact information of amino acids. The dipeptide composition method was used for order information of amino acids. After multi-information fusion, principal component analysis (PCA) was implemented for eliminating noise and a robust weighted sparse representation-based classification (WSRC) classifier was applied for sample classification. The prediction accuracies based on the five-fold cross-validation of the human, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), and yeast data sets were 99.49%, 97.15%, and 99.56%, respectively. In addition, in five independent data sets and two significant PPI networks, the comparative experimental results also demonstrate that PPI-GE obtained better performance than the compared methods.

RESUMO

A blood glucose meter is an electronic medical device used for determining the concentration of glucose in blood. These meters have undergone five phases of development: washed blood glucose meters, wiped blood glucose meters, colorimetric blood glucose meters, electrochemical blood glucose meters, and micro, multiple site blood glucose meters. Thanks to their speed, portability, low cost, and easy operation, blood glucose meters have been widely available for use in clinical diagnosis. Recently, coupling of target recognition elements (antibody-antigen recognition, nucleic acid hybridization, enzyme recognition, and click chemistry) with signal transduction and amplification strategies (glucose-generating enzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-generating enzymes, encapsulated glucose, nanomaterials, and cyclic amplification of DNA) has allowed various targets to be determined via the relationship between the signal of the blood glucose meter and the concentration of targets. In this paper, a brief review of the development and mechanism of blood glucose meters is given first. Then, more details on the application of blood glucose meters in analysis are described, including biomedical analysis, food analysis, and environmental analysis. Finally, the prospect of future development of blood glucose meters is also discussed. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

RESUMO

Hollow, porous NiS nanocubes were prepared by a hydrothermal method starting from Ni-Co Prussian blue analogue nanocubes as the template. The morphology and structure of the NiS nanocubes were tuned by adjustment of the ion-exchange rate and the degree of chemical etching, and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen sorption measurements. The NiS nanocubes are shown to act as a peroxidase mimic that can catalyze the oxidization of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), producing a visible color change, for which the absorbance is best measured at 652 nm. The outstanding activity may result from the unique structure of the NiS nanocubes. The catalytic oxidation follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics and shows a ping-pong mechanism of enzyme action. The findings were used to develop a rapid, sensitive, and selective colorimetric H2O2 assay with a response that is linear in the 4-40 µM range with a detection limit of 1.72 µM (signal-to-noise ratio of 3).

RESUMO

The authors describe the preparation of Cu(II)-coated Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) that possess excellent peroxidase-like activity. The NPs were formed by chelation between Cu(II) ions and the oxygen functional groups of sodium ligninsulfonate. The morphology and structure of the NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The NPs have an average diameter of 220 nm. They are shown to be viable peroxidase mimics that can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by hydrogen peroxide to produce a blue coloration. The findings were used to design a colorimetric assay that has a linear response in the 2.5 to 100 µM H2O2 concentration range and a 0.2 µM detection limit. The assay excels by its selectivity, high sensitivity, good selectivity, portability and cost efficiency. Graphical abstract Fe3O4-Cu2+ nanoparticles with excellent peroxidase-like activity were successfully prepared via a facile strategy, and then used to design a facile as well as sensitive colorimetric H2O2 sensor. The linear range and the detection limit were 2.5~100 µM and 0.212 µM.

RESUMO

Programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) is a negative modulatory signaling pathway for activation of T cell. It is acknowledged that PD-1/PD-L1 axis plays a crucial role in the progression of tumor by altering status of immune surveillance. As one of the most promising immune therapy strategies, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor is a breakthrough for the therapy of some refractory tumors. However, response rate of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in overall patients is unsatisfactory, which limits the application in clinical practice. Therefore, biomarkers which could effectively predict the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are crucial for patient selection. Biomarkers reflecting tumor immune microenvironment and tumor cell intrinsic features, such as PD-L1 expression, density of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL), tumor mutational burden, and mismatch-repair (MMR) deficiency, have been noticed to associate with treatment effect of anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 therapy. Furthermore, gut microbiota, circulating biomarkers, and patient previous history have been found as valuable predictors as well. Therefore establishing a comprehensive assessment framework involving multiple biomarkers would be meaningful to interrogate tumor immune landscape and select sensitive patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Menage a trois 1 (MAT1) is a targeting subunit of cyclin-dependent kinase-activating kinase and general transcription factor IIH kinase, which modulates cell cycle, transcription and DNA repair. Its dysregulation is responsible for diseases including cancers. To further explore the role of MAT1 in breast cancer, we investigated the pathways in which MAT1 might be involved, the association between MAT1 and molecular subtypes, and the role of MAT1 in clinical outcomes of breast cancer patients. METHODS: We conducted immunohistochemistry staining on tissue microarray and immunofluorescence staining on sections of MAT1 stable breast cancer cells. Also, we performed Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis, correlation analysis and prognosis analysis on public databases. RESULTS: MAT1 was involved in multiple pathways including normal physiology signaling and disease-related signaling. Furthermore, MAT1 positively correlated with the protein status of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor, and was enriched in luminal-type and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-enriched breast cancer in comparison with basal-like subtype at both mRNA and protein levels. Correlation analysis revealed significant association between MAT1 mRNA amount and epithelial markers, mesenchymal markers, cancer stem cell markers, apoptosis markers, transcription markers and oncogenes. Consistently, the results of immunofluorescence stain indicated that MAT1 overexpression enhanced the protein abundance of epidermal growth factor receptor, vimentin, sex determining region Y-box 2 and sine oculis homeobox homolog 1. Importantly, Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis reflected that MAT1 could serve as a prognostic biomarker predicting worse relapse-free survival and metastasis-free survival. CONCLUSIONS: MAT1 is correlated with molecular subtypes and is associated with unfavorable prognosis for breast cancer patients.

RESUMO

Immunotolerance is one of the hallmarks of malignant tumors. Tumor cells escape from host immune surveillance through various mechanisms resulting in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Interlukin-6 is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in many physiological and pathological processes by integrating with multiple intracellular signaling pathways. Aberrant expression of interlukin-6 is associated with the growth, metastasis, and chemotherapeutic resistance in a wide range of cancers. Interlukin-6 exerts immunosuppressive capacity mostly by stimulating the infiltrations of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, tumor-associated neutrophils, and cancer stem-like cells via Janus-activated kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 pathway in tumor microenvironment. On this foundation, blockage of interlukin-6 signal may provide potential approaches to novel therapies. In this review, we introduced interlukin-6 pathways and summarized molecular mechanisms related to interlukin-6-induced immunosuppression of tumor cell. We also concluded recent clinical studies targeting interlukin-6 as an immune-based therapeutic intervention in patients with cancer.

RESUMO

DREAM (downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator), Calsenilin and KChIP3 (potassium channel interacting protein 3) belong to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) superfamily, which transduces the intracellular calcium signaling into a variety of activities. They are encoded by the same gene locus, but have distinct subcellular locations. DREAM was first found to interact with DRE (downstream regulatory element) site in the vicinity of the promoter of prodynorphin gene to suppress gene transcription. Calcium can disassemble this interaction by binding reversibly to DREAM protein on its four EF-hand motifs. Apart from having calcium dependent DRE site binding, DREAM can also interact with other transcription factors, such as cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB), CREB-binding protein (CBP) and cAMP responsive element modulator (CREM), by this concerted actions, DREAM extends the gene pool under its control. DREAM is predominantly expressed in central nervous system with its highest level in cerebellum, and accumulating evidence demonstrated that DREAM might play important roles in pain sensitivity. Novel findings have shown that DREAM is also involved in learning and memory processes, Alzheimer's disease and stroke. This mini-review provides a brief introduction of its discovery history and protein structure properties, focusing on the mechanism of DREAM nuclear translocation and gene transcription regulation functions.

RESUMO

The functional abnormality of developmental genes is a common phenomenon in cancer initiation and progression. The retinal determination gene network (RDGN) is a key signal in Drosophila eye specification, and this conservative pathway is also required for the development of multiple organs in mammalian species. Recent studies demonstrated that aberrant expressions of RDGN components in vertebrates, mainly Dach, Six, and Eya, represent a novel tumor signal. RDGN regulates proliferation, apoptosis, tumor growth and metastasis through interactions with multiple signaling pathways in a co-ordinated fashion; Dach acts as a tumor suppressor, whereas Six and Eya function as oncogenes. Clinical analyses demonstrated that the expression levels of RDGN correlate with tumor stage, metastasis and survival, suggesting that combinational detection of this pathway might be used as a promising biomarker for the stratification of therapy and for the prediction of the prognosis of cancer patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with Parkinson's disease frequently experience problems with balance and gait. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the influences of regular ankle isokinetic muscle strength training on muscle strength and balance ability amongst elderly women with mild Parkinson's disease. METHODS: A total of 55 elderly women with mild Parkinson's disease were randomly divided into the experimental group (n= 28) and the control group (n= 27) for 16 weeks. The experimental group was trained for 16 weeks by using isokinetic muscle strength training. RESULTS: After 16 weeks of training in the experimental group, the peak torque (PT) of ankle (average of the left and right sides) dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, eversion and inversion, and the standing balance index revealed that the left and right stability and overall stability indexes significantly increased by 25.9%, 43.5%, 62.7%, 82.8%, 37.1% and 32.2%, respectively (p< 0.05). The experimental group exhibited significantly increased PT of ankle dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, eversion and inversion. Moreover, the left and right stability and overall stability indexes were significantly improved compared with those of the control group (p< 0.05). This study found a linear regression relationship between the PT of ankle inversion and overall stability index. CONCLUSION: This study determined that ankle isokinetic muscle strength training improved ankle dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, eversion and inversion muscle strength, and balance ability amongst elderly women with mild Parkinson's disease. However, it did not improve stability in the anterior and posterior directions. Ankle inversion muscle strength is more likely to affect overall balance.

RESUMO

Induced polarization response and integrated magnetic resonance show prosperous advantages in boosting electromagnetic wave absorption but still face huge challenges in revealing the intrinsic mechanism. In this work, we propose a self-confined strategy to construct hierarchical Fe-Co@TiO2 microrods with numerous incoherent heterointerfaces and gradient magnetic domains. The results demonstrate that the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coating is crucial for the subsequent deposition of Co-zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-67), the distance of ordered arranged metal ions manipulates the size of magnetic domains, and the pyrolysis of PVP layers restricts the eutectic process of Fe-Co alloys to some extent. As a result, these introduced lattice defects, oxygen vacancies, and incoherent heterointerfaces inevitably generate a strong polarization response, and the regulated gradient magnetic domains realize integrated magnetic resonance, including macroscopic magnetic coupling, long-range magnetic diffraction, and nanoscale magnetic bridge connection, and both of the intrinsic mechanisms in dissipating electromagnetic energy are quantitatively clarified by Lorentz off-axis electron holography. Owing to the cooperative merits, the Fe-Co@TiO2 absorbents exhibit enhanced absorption intensity and strong absorption bandwidth. This study inspires us to develop a generalized strategy for manipulating the size of magnetic domains, and the integrated magnetic resonance theory provides a versatile methodology in clarifying magnetic loss mechanism.
