RESUMO

Functional DNAs are valuable molecular tools in chemical biology and analytical chemistry but suffer from low activities due to their limited chemical functionalities. Here, we present a chemoenzymatic method for site-specific installation of diverse functional groups on DNA, and showcase the application of this method to enhance the catalytic activity of a DNA catalyst. Through chemoenzymatic introduction of distinct chemical groups, such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and benzyl, at specific positions, we achieve significant enhancements in the catalytic activity of the RNA-cleaving deoxyribozyme 10-23. A single carboxyl modification results in a 100-fold increase, while dual modifications (carboxyl and benzyl) yield an approximately 700-fold increase in activity when an RNA cleavage reaction is catalyzed on a DNA-RNA chimeric substrate. The resulting dually modified DNA catalyst, CaBn, exhibits a kobs of 3.76 min-1 in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+ and can be employed for fluorescent imaging of intracellular magnesium ions. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the superior capability of CaBn to recruit magnesium ions to metal-ion-binding site 2 and adopt a catalytically competent conformation. Our work provides a broadly accessible strategy for DNA functionalization with diverse chemical modifications, and CaBn offers a highly active DNA catalyst with immense potential in chemistry and biotechnology.

RESUMO

A critical way for humans to acquire information is through language, yet whether and how language experience drives specific neural semantic representations is still poorly understood. We considered statistical properties captured by 3 different computational principles of language (simple co-occurrence, network-(graph)-topological relations, and neural-network-vector-embedding relations) and tested the extent to which they can explain the neural patterns of semantic representations, measured by 2 functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments that shared common semantic processes. Distinct graph-topological word relations, and not simple co-occurrence or neural-network-vector-embedding relations, had unique explanatory power for the neural patterns in the anterior temporal lobe (capturing graph-common-neighbors), inferior frontal gyrus, and posterior middle/inferior temporal gyrus (capturing graph-shortest-path). These results were relatively specific to language: they were not explained by sensory-motor similarities and the same computational relations of visual objects (based on visual image database) showed effects in the visual cortex in the picture naming experiment. That is, different topological properties within language and the same topological computations (common-neighbors) for language and visual inputs are captured by different brain regions. These findings reveal the specific neural semantic representations along graph-topological properties of language, highlighting the information type-specific and statistical property-specific manner of semantic representations in the human brain.

RESUMO

Accurate communication between fibroblasts and keratinocytes is crucial for diabetic wound healing. Extracellular vesicles are being explored as essential mediators of intercellular communication in the skin. However, the mechanisms underlying wound healing mediated by fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles (Fib-EVs) remain unclear. The present study evaluated the role of long noncoding RNA upregulated in diabetic skin (lnc-URIDS) packed in Fib-EVs in the wound healing of streptozotocin-induced diabetes and the potential mechanisms of the effects. We demonstrated that high glucose induced the enrichment of lnc-URIDS in Fib-EVs, facilitated the transfer of lnc-URIDS to primary rat epidermal keratinocytes, and increased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9. Mechanistically, the binding of lnc-URIDS to YTH domain family protein-2 enhanced the degradation of YTH domain family protein-2 in the lysosomes, which increased the translational activity of the messenger RNA of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and ultimately induced the degradation of collagen for wound healing. The results provided an insight into the crosstalk and cooperation between fibroblasts and keratinocytes in collagen homeostasis in diabetic wounds and clarified the mechanism by which lnc-URIDS degrades collagen for diabetic wound healing.

RESUMO

Pelophylax nigromaculatus is a common commercial specie of frogs that generally cultured throughout China. With the application of high-density culture, P. nigromaculatus can be co-infected by two or more pathogens, which thereby induce synergistic influence on the virulence of the infection. In this study, two bacterial strains were simultaneously isolated from diseased frogs by incubating on Luria-Bertani (LB) agar. Isolates were identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Elizabethkingia miricola by morphological, physiological and biochemical features, as well as 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The whole genome of K. pneumoniae and E. miricola isolates consist single circular chromosome of 5,419,557 bp and 4,215,349 bp, respectively. The genomic sequence analysis further indicated that K. pneumoniae isolate conserved 172 virulent and 349 antibiotic-resistance genes, whereas E. miricola contained 24 virulent and 168 antibiotic resistance genes. In LB broth, both isolates could grow well at 0%-1% NaCl concentration and pH 5-7. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed that both K. pneumoniae and E. miricola were resistant to kanamycin, neomycin, ampicillin, piperacillin, carbenicillin, enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and sulfisoxazole. Histopathological studies showed that co-infection caused considerable lesions in the tissues of brain, eye, muscle, spleen, kidney and liver, including cell degeneration, necrosis, hemorrhage and inflammatory cell infiltration. The LD50 of K. pneumoniae and E. miricola isolates were 6.31 × 105 CFU/g and 3.98 × 105 CFU/g frog weight, respectively. Moreover, experimentally infected frogs exhibited quick and higher mortality under coinfection with K. pneumoniae and E. miricola than those single challenge of each bacterium. To date, no natural co-infection by these two bacteria has been reported from frogs and even amphibians. The results will not only shed light on the feature and pathogenesis of K. pneumoniae and E. miricola, but also highlight that co-infection of these two pathogen is a potential threat to black-spotted frog farming.

RESUMO

Transition-metal catalyzed enantioconvergent cross-coupling of tertiary alkyl halides with ammonia offers a rapid avenue to chiral unnatural α,α-disubstituted amino acids. However, the construction of chiral C-N bonds between tertiary-carbon electrophiles and nitrogen nucleophiles presented a great challenge owing to steric congestion. We report a copper-catalyzed enantioconvergent radical C-N cross-coupling of alkyl halides with sulfoximines (as ammonia surrogates) under mild conditions by employing a chiral anionic N,N,N-ligand with a long spreading side arm. An array of α,α-disubstituted amino acid derivatives were obtained with good efficiency and enantioselectivity. The synthetic utility of the strategy has been showcased by the elaboration of the coupling products into different chiral α-fully substituted amine building blocks.

RESUMO

The copper-catalyzed enantioselective intermolecular radical 1,2-carboamination of alkenes with readily accessible alkyl halides is an appealing strategy for producing chiral amine scaffolds. The challenge arises from the easily occurring atom transfer radical addition between alkyl halides and alkenes and the issue of enantiocontrol. We herein describe a radical alkene 1,2-carboamination with sulfoximines in a highly chemo- and enantioselective manner. The key to the success of this process is the conceptual design of a counterion/highly sterically demanded ligand coeffect to promote the ligand exchange of copper(I) with sulfoximines and forge chiral C-N bonds between alkyl radicals and the chiral copper(II) complex. The reaction covers alkenes bearing distinct electronic properties, such as aryl-, heteroaryl-, carbonyl-, and aminocarbonyl-substituted ones, and various radical precursors, including alkyl chlorides, bromides, iodides, and the CF3 source. Facile transformations deliver many chiral amine building blocks of interest in organic synthesis and related areas.

RESUMO

To protect above-ground plant organs from excessive water loss, their surfaces are coated by waxes. The genes involved in wax formation have been investigated in detail in Arabidopsis but scarcely in crop species. Here, we aimed to isolate and characterize a CER1 enzyme responsible for formation of the very long-chain alkanes present in high concentrations especially during late stages of wheat development. On the basis of comparative wax and transcriptome analyses of various wheat organs, we selected TaCER1-1A as a primary candidate and demonstrated that it was located to the endoplasmic reticulum, the subcellular compartment for wax biosynthesis. A wheat nullisomic-tetrasomic substitution line lacking TaCER1-1A had significantly reduced amounts of C33 alkane, whereas rice plants overexpressing TaCER1-1A showed substantial increases of C25 -C33 alkanes relative to wild type control. Similarly, heterologous expression of TaCER1-1A in Arabidopsis wild type and the cer1 mutant resulted in increased levels of unbranched alkanes, iso-branched alkanes and alkenes. Finally, the expression of TaCER1-1A was found activated by abiotic stresses and abscisic acid treatment, resulting in increased production of alkanes in wheat. Taken together, our results demonstrate that TaCER1-1A plays an important role in wheat wax alkane biosynthesis and involved in responding to drought and other environmental stresses.

RESUMO

This study had three objectives: (1) to investigate healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward clinically applying graduated compression stockings, (2) to analyze the influencing factors, and (3) to provide data to support departments that develop health policies. A self-administered web-based survey was completed by 1,444 healthcare professionals, including physicians and nurses from 15tertiary hospitals and four secondary hospitals from 10 provinces in China. Reliability analysis and exploratory factor analysis were used to evaluate the researcher-designed questionnaire's reliability and validity. The formal questionnaire, which included demographic data (eight items), knowledge (ten items), attitudes (four items), and clinical practice patterns (six items), was distributed among healthcare professionals. The relationships and mechanisms among the variables were explored using descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression analysis. Of the 1,444 respondents, 31.2% had good knowledge of clinically applying graduated compression stockings, 83.5% had a positive attitude toward clinically applying them, and 30.4% of respondents exhibited normative behavior when applying them. The multiple linear regression analysis indicated that training was an important factor influencing the knowledge, attitude, and practice toward clinically applying graduated compression stockings. The healthcare professionals' attitude toward clinically applying graduated compression stockings was positive, but the related knowledge was poor, and the code of behavior was deficient. Medical institutions should improve training for clinically applying graduated compression stockings among healthcare professionals and standardize the use of graduated compression stockings to facilitate the prevention of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism.

RESUMO

Alkylresorcinols (ARs) are beneficial for human health and can be used as biomarkers for whole-grain cereal intake. In previous studies, ARs content in whole-grain flour was determined by milling the seeds into powder, thus destroying their structure. In this paper, we adopted a non-destructive extraction approach. Chloroform and ethyl acetate extraction methods were carried out to extract lipids from the seed surface and whole-grain flour of 36 wheat varieties in China, respectively. GC-MS analysis identified chemical compounds in which ARs were the major compounds for all the samples. The average total content of ARs (624.223 µg/g) in whole grains was much higher than that on seed surfaces (4.934 µg/g), with a positive correlation (r = 0.863, p < 0.001) between these two parameters. The results suggested that the total ARs content on the seed surface can be used to predict their content in whole-grain flour. Without affecting the seed germination rate and damaging seed structure, we demonstrate that a non-destructive extraction approach is an appropriate and useful method, facilitating the development of rapid screening methods suitable for use in wheat breeding.

RESUMO

Purple pericarps of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are a useful source of dietary anthocyanins. Previous mapping results indicated that the purple pericarp trait is controlled by two complementary genes located on chromosomes 7D and 2A. However, the identity of the genes and the mechanisms by which they regulate the trait are unknown. In this study, two transcription factors were characterised as anthocyanin activators in purple pericarps: TaPpm1 (purple pericarp-MYB 1) and TaPpb1 (purple pericarp-bHLH 1). Three non-functional variants were detected in the coding sequence of TaPpm1 from non-purple seed lines, in which the function of TaPpm1 was destroyed either by insertion-induced frame shifts or truncated peptides. There were six 261-bp tandem repeats in the promoter region of TaPpb1 in the purple-grained varieties, while there was only one repeat unit present in the non-purple varieties. Furthermore, using yeast two-hybrid, dual luciferase, yeast one-hybrid, and transient assays, we were able to demonstrate that the interaction of TaPpm1 and TaPpb1 co-regulates the synthesis of anthocyanin. Overall, our results provide a better understanding of the molecular basis of anthocyanin synthesis in the wheat pericarp and indicate the existence of an integrated regulatory mechanism that controls production.

RESUMO

Biological motion (BM) is the movement of animate entities, which conveys rich social information. To obtain pure BM, researchers nowadays predominantly use point-light displays (PLDs), which depict BM through a set of light points (e.g., 12 points) placed at distinct joints of a moving human body. Most prevalent BM stimuli are created by state-of-the-art motion capture systems. Although these stimuli are highly precise, the motion capture system is expensive and bulky, and its process of constructing a PLD-based BM is time-consuming and complex. These factors impede the investigation of BM mechanisms. In this study, we propose a free Kinect-based biological motion capture (KBC) toolbox based on the Kinect Sensor 2.0 in C++. The KBC toolbox aims to help researchers acquire PLD-based BM in an easy, low-cost, and user-friendly way. We conducted three experiments to examine whether KBC-generated BM can genuinely reflect the processing characteristics of BM: (1) Is BM from this source processed globally in vision? (2) Does its BM (e.g., from the feet) retain detailed local information? and (3) Does the BM convey emotional information? We obtained positive results in response to all three questions. Therefore, we think that the KBC toolbox can be useful in generating BM for future research.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of viscosity of contrast agent (CA) on intrarenal oxygenation and diffusion as measured by blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Radiocontrast iodixanol formulated in three viscosities were designated 270, 320, and 350 (mg iodine/mL). Sixty-three male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Saline and iodixanol (4 g iodine/kg) were administered. MR images were acquired on a 3.0T scanner at baseline and at 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours postinjection of solutions. BOLD-MRI was performed with a multiple gradient-recalled-echo sequence. The changes in R2*, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), fractional anisotropy (FA), histology, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) immunoexpression were evaluated. The R2*, ADC, and FA values were normalized to baseline to calculate ΔR2*, ΔADC, and ΔFA. RESULTS: Compared with baseline levels, distinct elevation of ΔR2* (P < 0.05) and obvious decrease in ΔADC (P < 0.01) and ΔFA (P < 0.05) were observed in all the anatomical compartments at 1 hour after administration of CA. The absolute values in ΔR2*, ΔADC, and ΔFA increased with increases in CA viscosity, and differed significantly between the CA groups in renal cortex (CO), outer stripe of outer medulla (OSOM), and inner stripe of outer medulla (ISOM) (all P < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was observed between ΔR2* and HIF-1α expression (P < 0.001, r = 0.75). Significant negative correlations were observed between ΔADC, ΔFA, and pathologies in CO, OSOM, ISOM (all P < 0.001, r = -0.68-0.87; all P < 0.001, r = -0.60-0.66). CONCLUSION: The effect of CA viscosity on intrarenal oxygenation and diffusion was viscosity-dependent, and was identified using BOLD-MRI and DTI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 3 J.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effects of contrast agents containing increasing concentrations of iodine on the renal oxygenation level determined by blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a rabbit model of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS: BOLD-MRI was performed using saline or iodinated (I) contrast agents (200, 240, 300, 350 and 400 mg I/mL) at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after experimentally inducing type 2 diabetic nephropathy in rabbits. Differences in renal oxygenation levels between type 1 and type 2 diabetic nephropathy were also assessed by BOLD-MRI after injecting 400 mg I/mL of contrast agent. RESULTS: Contrast agents increased the R2* values of the renal cortex, outer medulla, and inner medulla to the maximum levels at 24 h. The R2* values then decreased to their lowest levels at 72 h. The R2* was highest following injection of 400 mg I/mL, especially in the outer medulla. The R2* values were not significantly different between types 1 and 2 diabetic nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS: Iodinated contrast agents had the greatest influence on renal outer medulla oxygenation level at 24 h in type 2 diabetic nephropathy, with the greatest effects observed at the 400 mg I/mL dose level. There were no differences in BOLD-MRI values between type 1 and type 2 diabetic nephropathy after administering the contrast agent at 400 mg I/mL.

RESUMO

To develop a convenient and intelligent detector for simultaneous and in-situ detection of Al3+ and F- in groundwater, a novel organic probe called RBP has been prepared. With the increase of Al3+, RBP showed a significant fluorescence enhancement at 588 nm, and the detection limit was 0.130 mg/L. After combining with fluorescent internal standard CDs, the fluorescence of RBP-Al-CDs at 588 nm was quenched due to the replace of F- for Al3+, while the CDs at 460 nm remained unchanged, and the detection limit was 0.0186 mg/L. For convenient and intelligent detection, an RBP-based logic detector has been developed for simultaneous detection of Al3+ and F-. Within the ultra-trace, low concentration, and high concentration range of Al3+ and F-, the logic detector can achieve rapid feedback on their concentration levels ("U", "L" and "H") through different output modes of the signal lamps. The development of logical detector is of great significance for studying the in-situ chemical behavior of Al3+ and F- and for daily household detection.

RESUMO

Objective: Compared with the light-flashing paradigm, the ring-shaped motion checkerboard patterns avoid uncomfortable flicker or brightness modulation, improving the practical interactivity of brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. However, due to fewer harmonic responses and more concentrated frequency energy elicited by the ring-shaped checkerboard patterns, the mainstream untrained algorithms such as canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and filter bank canonical correlation analysis (FBCCA) methods have poor recognition performance and low information transmission rate (ITR). Methods: To address this issue, a novel untrained SSVEP-EEG feature enhancement method using CCA and underdamped second-order stochastic resonance (USSR) is proposed to extract electroencephalogram (EEG) features. Results: In contrast to typical unsupervised dimensionality reduction methods such as common average reference (CAR), principal component analysis (PCA), multidimensional scaling (MDS), and locally linear embedding (LLE), CCA exhibits higher adaptability for SSVEP rhythm components. Conclusion: This study recruits 42 subjects to evaluate the proposed method and experimental results show that the untrained method can achieve higher detection accuracy and robustness. Significance: This untrained method provides the possibility of applying a nonlinear model from one-dimensional signals to multi-dimensional signals.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Adiponectin is closely related to glucose metabolism and traditional diabetes risk factors (obesity, hypertension and dyslipidaemia). We aimed to explore the association between adiponectin levels and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetes in subgroups classified according to T2DM risk factors. SETTING: Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. PARTICIPANTS: 3680 individuals (1753 men and 1927 women) aged 18-70 years from Guangzhou and Dongguan, China, were enrolled from December 2018 to October 2019. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: T2DM was defined as fasting plasma glucose (FPG)≥7.0 mmol/L or HbA1c≥6.5%, and pre-diabetes was defined as 6.1 mmol/L≤FPG<7.0 mmol/L or 5.7≤HbA1c<6.5%. RESULTS: With the increasing number of T2DM risk factors, the proportion of the population with high-quartile adiponectin levels gradually decreased (p<0.001). A low level of adiponectin was significantly associated with diabetes and pre-diabetes in a population with ≥1 T2DM risk factor, whereas its association was not consistently significant in the population with all three T2DM risk factors. For instance, participants were more likely to have diabetes or prediabetes with low levels of adiponectin when they had ≥ one T2DM risk factor (quartile 2 vs. 1: OR 0.71 [95%CI: 0.56-0.89]; P=0.003; quartile 3 vs. 1: OR 0.57 [95%CIs: 0.44-0.72]; P<0.001; and quartile 4 vs. 1: OR 0.52 [95%CIs: 0.40-0.67]; P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Adiponectin was negatively associated with diabetes and pre-diabetes in a population with few T2DM risk factors, while their relationship gradually attenuated with the accumulation of T2DM risk factors, especially in a population with coexisting diseases such as obesity, hypertension and dyslipidaemia.

RESUMO

The effect and function mechanism of maleic hydrazide on the growth of mature leaves is unclear. Duckweed is widely used as a model plant to study the effect of compounds on plant growth. The observation of section and ultrastructure of the fronds, the comparation of SOD enzyme activity and related-gene transcriptional expression level showed that 75 µg/mL maleic hydrazide could prompt the growth of the mother fronds in S. Polyrriza 7498. The half-mother fronds (without meristematic tissue, cut from the mother fronds) with little meristematic tissue could repair themselves and delay their senescence by 75 µg/mL MH. The mother fronds turned more greener with 50 µg/mL MH and exogenous 0.1 µmol/L 6-BA (a kind of cytokinin) treatment, as well as with the increasing of fresh and dry weight in S. Polyrriza 7498. RNA-Seq data found that the happy growth of the mother fronds caused by MH, was probably resulted from up-regulating the expression of gene related to the synthesis and signaling transduction of cytokinin in S. Polyrriza 7498. Which are responsible for the maintaining membrane system integrate and transport protein function. The work gives lights to the study of function mechanism of MH prompting mature leaves growth and delaying mature leaves senescence in plant. And it provides a strategy to increase biomass with the application of low concentration MH and 6-BA in the same time in agriculture.

RESUMO

With the rapid development and widespread application of big data and artificial intelligence, the upgrading of digital and intelligent industries has been rapidly popularized in the oil and gas industry. First, based on the theory of ″regional data lake″, the digital nature of the CBM governance system is analyzed, and the optimization model of CBM governance for different data types is established. Second, considering the geological characteristics and development mode of the CBM reservoir, the regional data lake expansion model is established. Third, a theoretical model of coupling ″on-site data, laboratory data, management data, and data management system″ has been established. The research shows the following: (a) The CBM governance system based on the regional data lake can be divided into four parts: basic support, data life cycle, core governance areas, and governance strategy support. (b) The coupling of the coalbed methane governance model with the BP neural network model in this article has good application results. (c) The computational efficiency of this model has been improved by 12%, which has broad application prospects.

RESUMO

Reasonable cutting edge preparation can eliminate microscopic defects and improve the performance of a cutting tool. The flexible fiber-assisted shear thickening polishing method was used for the preparation of cemented carbide insert cutting edge. The influences of the polishing angle and polishing speed on the cutting edge preparation process were investigated, and the cutting edge radius and K-factor were employed as evaluation indexes to evaluate the edge shape. A prediction model of the cutting edge radius was also established using the mathematical regression method. The results show that the polishing angle has a more significant effect on the cutting edge radius. The cutting edge preparation efficiency is the highest under the polishing angle of 10°, and the cutting edge radius increased from the 15 ± 2 µm to 110 ± 5 µm in 5 min. The cutting edge shape can be controlled by adjusting the polishing angle, and the K-factor varies from 0.14 ± 0.03 to 0.56 ± 0.05 under the polishing angle (from -20° to 20°). The polishing speed has a less effect on the cutting edge radius and shape, but increasing the polishing speed within a certain range can improve the efficiency of cutting edge preparation. The flank face roughness decreased from the initial Ra 163.1 ± 10 nm to Ra 5.2 ± 2 nm at the polishing angle of -20°, which is the best polishing angle for the flank face surface roughness. The ANOVA method was employed to evaluate the effective weight of the polishing angle and polishing speed on preparation efficiency. The polishing angle (86.79%) has the more significant influence than polishing speed (13.21%) on the cutting edge preparation efficiency. The mathematical regression method was used to establish the model of the prediction of the cutting edge radius with polishing angle and speed, and the models were proved rationally. The results indicate that the FF-STP is an effective method for the high consistency preparation of cemented carbide insert cutting edge.
