The iron-bearing rock system is a paleo-weathered crustal sedimentary(or accumulating) stratum between the top of the Middle-Late Permian Emeishan basalt formation and the Late Permian Xuanwei formation. Iron ore is hosted in the Lower-Middle part of the rock system. In terms of the genesis of mineral deposit, this type of deposit should be a basalt paleo-weathering crustal redeposit type, very different from marine sedimentary iron deposits or continental weathering crust iron deposits. Based on field work and the analytical results of XRD Powder Diffraction, Electron Probe, Scanner Electron Microscope, etc., the geological setting of the ore-forming processes and the deposit features are illustrated in this paper. The ore-forming environment of the deposit and the Emeishan basalt weathering mineralization are also discussed in order to enhance the knowledge of the universality and diversity of mineralization of the Emeishan Large Igneous Province(ELIP), which may be a considerable reference to further research for ELIP metallogenic theories, and geological research for iron deposits in the paleo-weathering crust areas of the Emeishan basalt,Southwestern, China.展开更多

METHODS SGC-7901 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing different concentrations of nimesulide (0,12.5, 50, 100, 200, 400 μmol/L). The MTT assay, morphological observation, electron microscopy (EM), immunohistochemical analysis and Western blot analysis were employed to investigate the effects of nimesulide on the SGC-7901 cells and to explore possible related molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Nimesulide inhibited the growth of SGC-7901 cells and elicited typical apoptotic morphologic changes. Nimesulide also decreased NF-κB and Bcl-2 expression, but increased the level of the Bax protein. The positive rate of Bcl-2 protein expression at 0, 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L of nimesulide was 58.3±14.0%, 50.2±9.9%, 32.8±5.0% and 22.7±5.5% respectively based on immunohistochemical staining. The positive rate of Bax protein expression was 22.0±5.7%, 29.2±6.5%, 42.7±5.9% and 74.5±9.1% and the NF-κB expression was 74.2±10.9%, 61.8±7.6%, 36.7±10.9% and 17.5±12.3%, Significant differences were found between so μmol/L and 100 μmol/L and 200μmol/L. Western blot analysis also showed that the expression of NF-κB was decreased. CONCLUSION Nimesulide suppresses tumor growth and induces apoptosis by inhibiting NF-κB expression, which may be related to the overexpression of Bax relative to Bcl-2 expression.展开更多

Apoptotic cells were evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase- mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling (TUNEL).RESULTS Expression of iNOS, p53 and bcl-2 was significantly higher in gastric carcinoma (GC) tissues than in gastric atypical hyperplastic tissues. Amonq the 84 carcinomas, the expression of p53 was observed in 50 (59.52%), bcl-2 in 43 (51.19%), and iNOS in 65 (77.58%). Overexpression of iNOS and bcl-2 in gastric carcinoma was related to tumor size and iNOS was related to the presence of lymph node metastasis (P〈0.05). The expression of proteins did not correlate with age, sex, stage of disease, or differentiation. Expression of iNOS in gastric carcinoma tissues was positively correlated with bcl-2 expression (X2=8.926, P=0.003), and also with p53 expression (X^2= 5.2430, P= 0.022). The mean apoptotic indexes (AI) were 1.29%±0.50 in low-grade atypical hyperplasia (LG), 0.96%±0.36 in high-grade atypical hyperplasia (HG) and 0.70%±0.43 in GC, with the difference being significant between LG, HG and GC (P〈 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between iNOS expression and the AI in GC (t=3.0815, P=0.0028).CONCLUSION iNOS was expressed in the majority of gastric carcinoma tissues and correlated with cellular apoptosis associated with p53 and bcl-2 expression, iNOS overexpression is closely associated with p53 and bcl-2 accumulation status, iNOS may play a synergistic role in the pathogenesis of GC.展开更多

文摘OBJECTIVE To investigate whether nimesulide can suppress tumor growth and induce apoptosis in SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells and to explore the molecular mechanism involved. METHODS SGC-7901 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing different concentrations of nimesulide (0,12.5, 50, 100, 200, 400 μmol/L). The MTT assay, morphological observation, electron microscopy (EM), immunohistochemical analysis and Western blot analysis were employed to investigate the effects of nimesulide on the SGC-7901 cells and to explore possible related molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Nimesulide inhibited the growth of SGC-7901 cells and elicited typical apoptotic morphologic changes. Nimesulide also decreased NF-κB and Bcl-2 expression, but increased the level of the Bax protein. The positive rate of Bcl-2 protein expression at 0, 50, 100 and 200 μmol/L of nimesulide was 58.3±14.0%, 50.2±9.9%, 32.8±5.0% and 22.7±5.5% respectively based on immunohistochemical staining. The positive rate of Bax protein expression was 22.0±5.7%, 29.2±6.5%, 42.7±5.9% and 74.5±9.1% and the NF-κB expression was 74.2±10.9%, 61.8±7.6%, 36.7±10.9% and 17.5±12.3%, Significant differences were found between so μmol/L and 100 μmol/L and 200μmol/L. Western blot analysis also showed that the expression of NF-κB was decreased. CONCLUSION Nimesulide suppresses tumor growth and induces apoptosis by inhibiting NF-κB expression, which may be related to the overexpression of Bax relative to Bcl-2 expression.

Overexpression of iNOS and bcl-2 in gastric carcinoma was related to tumor size and iNOS was related to the presence of lymph node metastasis (P〈0.05). The expression of proteins did not correlate with age, sex, stage of disease, or differentiation. Expression of iNOS in gastric carcinoma tissues was positively correlated with bcl-2 expression (X2=8.926, P=0.003), and also with p53 expression (X^2= 5.2430, P= 0.022). The mean apoptotic indexes (AI) were 1.29%±0.50 in low-grade atypical hyperplasia (LG), 0.96%±0.36 in high-grade atypical hyperplasia (HG) and 0.70%±0.43 in GC, with the difference being significant between LG, HG and GC (P〈 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between iNOS expression and the AI in GC (t=3.0815, P=0.0028).CONCLUSION iNOS was expressed in the majority of gastric carcinoma tissues and correlated with cellular apoptosis associated with p53 and bcl-2 expression, iNOS overexpression is closely associated with p53 and bcl-2 accumulation status, iNOS may play a synergistic role in the pathogenesis of GC.

文摘Background:Sarcopenia is an age-related progressive skeletal muscle disorder involving the loss of muscle mass or strength and physiological function.Efficient and precise AI algorithms may play a significant role in the diagnosis of sarcopenia.In this study,we aimed to develop a machine learning model for sarcopenia diagnosis using clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators of aging cohorts.Methods:We developed models of sarcopenia using the baseline data from the West China Health and Aging Trend(WCHAT)study.For external validation,we used the Xiamen Aging Trend(XMAT)cohort.We compared the support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF),eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGB),and Wide and Deep(W&D)models.The area under the receiver operating curve(AUC)and accuracy(ACC)were used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the models.Results:The WCHAT cohort,which included a total of 4057 participants for the training and testing datasets,and the XMAT cohort,which consisted of 553 participants for the external validation dataset,were enrolled in this study.Among the four models,W&D had the best performance(AUC=0.916±0.006,ACC=0.882±0.006),followed by SVM(AUC=0.907±0.004,ACC=0.877±0.006),XGB(AUC=0.877±0.005,ACC=0.868±0.005),and RF(AUC=0.843±0.031,ACC=0.836±0.024)in the training dataset.Meanwhile,in the testing dataset,the diagnostic efficiency of the models from large to small was W&D(AUC=0.881,ACC=0.862),XGB(AUC=0.858,ACC=0.861),RF(AUC=0.843,ACC=0.836),and SVM(AUC=0.829,ACC=0.857).In the external validation dataset,the performance of W&D(AUC=0.970,ACC=0.911)was the best among the four models,followed by RF(AUC=0.830,ACC=0.769),SVM(AUC=0.766,ACC=0.738),and XGB(AUC=0.722,ACC=0.749).Conclusions:The W&D model not only had excellent diagnostic performance for sarcopenia but also showed good economic efficiency and timeliness.It could be widely used in primary health care institutions or developing areas with an aging population.Trial Registration:Chictr.org,ChiCTR 1800018895.

文摘A remnant fertilizer monitoring system utilizing three-dimensional(3D)reconstruction was proposed to detect the amount of remaining fertilizer in the applicator’s tank.Bench tests were carried out to compare the performance of four algorithms to estimate the remnant fertilizer amount:fertilizer remnant monitoring biharmonic spline algorithm(V4),natural nearest-neighbor algorithm(Natural),linear algorithm(Linear),cubic algorithm(Cubic).The average relative error for remnant fertilizer monitoring is 7.33%for the Linear algorithm,7.30%for the Natural algorithm,5.18%for the Cubic algorithm,and 4.30%for the V4 algorithm.Field tests are conducted at three fertilization rates to compare the performances of the V4 and Cubic algorithms.The average relative error for discharged fertilizer monitoring is 8.64%for the Cubic algorithm,which is 1.91%lower than that of the V4 algorithm.The results show that the Cubic algorithm has the best performance for remnant fertilizer monitoring.The average relative error of remnant fertilizer monitoring is 2.42%for the Cubic algorithm,which is 0.43%lower than that of the V4 algorithm.The response time of the remnant fertilizer monitoring system is 0.26 s.The results demonstrate that the proposed remnant fertilizer monitoring system is highly accurate and suitable for real-time applications.

文摘This paper proposes a deep-learning-based Robin-Robin domain decomposition method(DeepDDM)for Helmholtz equations.We first present the plane wave activation-based neural network(PWNN),which is more efficient for solving Helmholtz equations with constant coefficients and wavenumber k than finite difference methods(FDM).On this basis,we use PWNN to discretize the subproblems divided by domain decomposition methods(DDM),which is the main idea of DeepDDM.This paper will investigate the number of iterations of using DeepDDM for continuous and discontinuous Helmholtz equations.The results demonstrate that:DeepDDM exhibits behaviors consistent with conventional robust FDM-based domain decomposition method(FDM-DDM)under the same Robin parameters,i.e.,the number of iterations by DeepDDM is almost the same as that of FDM-DDM.By choosing suitable Robin parameters on different subdomains,the convergence rate is almost constant with the rise of wavenumber in both continuous and discontinuous cases.The performance of DeepDDM on Helmholtz equations may provide new insights for improving the PDE solver by deep learning.

文摘Network pharmacology is a powerful tool to reflect the pharmacologically active effects,mechanism of action and toxic activity of traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs).The ingredients of TCMs,associated with quality control of TCM products,are those fundamental chemicals that exhibit biological activities.A great amount of effort has been made by scientists in that field in order to improve the quality of TCMs,though the approaches to determine their quality and the TCM theory and compatibility rules remain ambiguous.Now some methods and technologies must be applied to predict and explore the quality marker(Q-marker)for quality control,as well as to clarify the factors affecting the quality of TCM,which may give new insight into rational ground of establishment of appropriate quality control and assessment system.In this review paper,authors focus on the prediction of quality markers of TCMs by network pharmacology based on three aspects:(1)from network medicine to network pharmacology,(2)complex network system of traditional Chinese medicine,and(3)predicting TCM quality markers based on network pharmacology.Authors proposed the research pattern on network pharmacology based on biological and medical networks,and further TCM network pharmacology based on substantial basis of TCM formulae,and the idea of"effect-ingredient-target-fingerprint"to predict and recognize the TCM Qmarker was the ultimate goal.In addition,authors yet noted how to make full use of the advantages of network toxicology to provide new ideas for the toxicity study of complex TCM systems and the prediction of TCM toxicity markers.
