Early identification of stroke through deep learning with multi-modal human speech and movement data

Early identification and treatment of stroke can greatly improve patient outcomes and quality of life.Although clinical tests such as the Cincinnati Pre-hospital Stroke Scale(CPSS)and the Face Arm Speech Test(FAST)are commonly used for stroke screening,accurate administration is dependent on specialized training.In this study,we proposed a novel multimodal deep learning approach,based on the FAST,for assessing suspected stroke patients exhibiting symptoms such as limb weakness,facial paresis,and speech disorders in acute settings.We collected a dataset comprising videos and audio recordings of emergency room patients performing designated limb movements,facial expressions,and speech tests based on the FAST.We compared the constructed deep learning model,which was designed to process multi-modal datasets,with six prior models that achieved good action classification performance,including the I3D,SlowFast,X3D,TPN,TimeSformer,and MViT.We found that the findings of our deep learning model had a higher clinical value compared with the other approaches.Moreover,the multi-modal model outperformed its single-module variants,highlighting the benefit of utilizing multiple types of patient data,such as action videos and speech audio.These results indicate that a multi-modal deep learning model combined with the FAST could greatly improve the accuracy and sensitivity of early stroke identification of stroke,thus providing a practical and powerful tool for assessing stroke patients in an emergency clinical setting.

Knockdown of HE4 suppresses tumor growth and invasiveness in lung adenocarcinoma through regulation of EGFR signaling

It has been shown that the high expression of human epididymis protein 4(HE4)in most lung cancers is related to the poor prognosis of patients,but the mechanism of pathological transformation of HE4 in lung cancer is still unclear.The current study is expected to clarify the function and mechanism of HE4 in the occurrence and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD).Immunoblotting evaluated HE4 expression in lung cancer cell lines and biopsies,and through analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)dataset.Frequent HE4 overexpression was demonstrated in LUAD,but not in lung squamous cell carcinoma(LUSC),indicating that HE4 can serve as a biomarker to distinguish between LUAD and LUSC.HE4 knockdown significantly inhibited cell growth,colony formation,wound healing,and invasion,and blocked the G1-phase of the cell cycle in LUAD cell lines through inactivation of the EGFR signaling downstream including PI3K/AKT/mTOR and RAF/MAPK pathways.The first-line EGFR inhibitor gefitinib and HE4 shRNA had no synergistic inhibitory effect on the growth of lung adenocarcinoma cells,while the third-line EGFR inhibitor osimertinib showed additive anti-proliferative effects.Moreover,we provided evidence that HE4 regulated EGFR expression by transcription regulation and protein interaction in LUAD.Our findings suggest that HE4 positively modulates the EGFR signaling pathway to promote growth and invasiveness in LUAD and highlight that targeting HE4 could be a novel strategy for LUAD treatment.

A food-grade and senescent cell-targeted fisetin delivery system based on whey protein isolate-galactooligosaccharides Maillard conjugate

Cellular senescence is the results of aging and age-related diseases,and the development of anti-aging methods may improve health and extend longevity.The natural flavonol fisetin has been shown to antagonize senescence in vitro and increases longevity in vivo,but has poor water solubility and limited bioavailability.In this study,a food-grade and senescent cell-targeted delivery system for fisetin was developed based on whey protein isolate-galactooligosaccharides(WPI-GOS)Maillard conjugate,which could recognize senescence associatedβ-galactosidase in senescent cells.The fisetin nanoparticles possessed a high encapsulation efficiency,excellent dispersibility in water,good storage stability and well biocompatibility.Moreover,they could effectively accumulate and retain in senescent cells with excellent senescent cell-targeting efficacy,and inhibit the oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence in vitro.Thus,this novel nanoparticle system based on WPI-GOS Maillard conjugate showed promise to deliver hydrophobic bioactive ingredients like fisetin to senescent cells to improve their bioavailability and anti-senescence effect.

抑制磷酸二酯酶4可降低脑缺血/再灌注损伤后的水通道蛋白4表达、减轻星形胶质细胞肿胀

我们的既往研究已显示磷酸二酯酶4(PDE4)抑制剂对大鼠中脑动脉闭塞/再灌注(MCAO/R)后的神经元损伤具有保护作用。然而,PDE4对脑水肿和星形胶质细胞肿胀的影响尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们发现通过Roflumilast(Roflu)抑制PDE4可以减轻大鼠缺血再灌注后的脑水肿、降低脑组织含水量。Roflu减少了水通道蛋白4(AQP4)的表达,而磷酸化蛋白激酶B(Akt)和叉头框蛋白O3a(FoxO3a)的水平增加。此外,Roflu减少原代星形胶质细胞在糖氧剥夺/再灌注(OGD/R)后的细胞体积和AQP4的表达。同样,PDE4B敲低显示出与PDE4抑制相似的作用;而PDE4B过表达可以减少PDE4B敲低对AQP4表达的抑制作用。本研究还发现,Roflu对AQP4表达和细胞体积的影响可以被Akt抑制剂MK2206阻断。神经炎症和星形胶质细胞激活是在卒中病理生理的机制之一,所以本研究用白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)处理原代星形胶质细胞。结果显示,经IL-1β处理的星形胶质细胞表现出AQP4和磷酸化Akt及FoxO3a减少。Roflu显著降低了AQP4表达,这伴随着Akt和FoxO3a磷酸化的增加。此外,FoxO3a的过表达部分逆转了Roflu对AQP4表达的影响。本研究结果显示,PDE4抑制通过Akt/FoxO3a/AQP4通路限制了缺血诱导的脑水肿和星形胶质细胞肿胀。PDE4是脑缺血后脑水肿的一个有潜力的干预目标。

Research on Rotating Machinery Fault Diagnosis Based on Improved Multi-target Domain Adversarial Network

Aiming at the problems of low efficiency,poor anti-noise and robustness of transfer learning model in intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machinery,a new method of intelligent fault diagnosis of rotating machinery based on single source and multi-target domain adversarial network model(WDMACN)and Gram Angle Product field(GAPF)was proposed.Firstly,the original one-dimensional vibration signal is preprocessed using GAPF to generate the image data including all time series.Secondly,the residual network is used to extract data features,and the features of the target domain without labels are pseudo-labeled,and the transferable features among the feature extractors are shared through the depth parameter,and the feature extractors of the multi-target domain are updated anatomically to generate the features that the discriminator cannot distinguish.The modelt through adversarial domain adaptation,thus achieving fault classification.Finally,a large number of validations were carried out on the bearing data set of Case Western Reserve University(CWRU)and the gear data.The results show that the proposed method can greatly improve the diagnostic efficiency of the model,and has good noise resistance and generalization.

Effect of dual targeting procyanidins nanoparticles on metabolomics of lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammatory macrophages

Inflammation plays an important role in the occurrence and development of many inflammatory diseases.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect and metabolic behavior of the dual targeting procyanidins(PC)nanoparticles on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated inflammatory macrophages by metabolomics method.The double-targeting PC nanoparticles could specifi cally target both the CD44 receptor and mitochondria,while the single targeting PC-loaded nanoparticles that could target the CD44 receptor on the surface of macrophages.The double-targeting PC nanoparticles had better inhibitory effect than single-targeting PC nanoparticles on the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase and reactive oxygen species overexpression induced by LPS.Amino acid metabolism,energy metabolism and purine metabolism were disordered in LPS-treated group,and metabolic pathway analysis indicated that the double-targeting PC nanoparticles reversed some of LPS impacts.The changes of these potential biomarkers and their corresponding pathways are helpful to further understand the mechanism of PC nanoparticles in alleviating inflammation,and promote their application in nutrition intervention.

Mongolian Lark as an indicator of taxonomic,functional and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds

Biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate.Many grassland species have been lost and are now of conservation concern.Identifying efficient biodiversity indicators is a key pillar of the global conservation strategy.Mongolian Lark(Melanocorypha mongolica) is a charismatic bird species abound in Mongolian steppes,and recent studies demonstrated that this species share similar habitat requirements an d likely co-occur with other grassland birds.We tested the hypothesis that Mongolian Lark would make a suitable indicator for different aspects of avian biodiversity.We made a large-scale bird survey in Inner Mongolia,and classified point counts into three groups based on different taxonomic,functional,and phylogenetic biodiversity measures.We identified species indicators of each group using the indicator value(IndVal) analysis,and examined the bird compositional difference among groups.Linear models were used for studying the patterns of occurrence of Mongolian Lark in relation to various biodiversity measures.Mon golian Lark showed the highest indicator value in comparison with other potential species indicators.Bird species richness is significantly higher at sites with Mongolian Lark,an d its occurrence was negatively correlated with species abundance,functional richness,Rao’s quadratic entropy and phylogenetic diversity.Mongolian Lark is therefore a suitable indicator species for avian biodiversity in Mongolian steppes.It is highly distinctive in flight and usually seen singly.The widespread distribution and charismatic appearance make it easy to monitor and adequate for citizen science,and may provide useful information on the paradigm of surrogacy in conservation ecology.

水蒸汽浴FeS_(2)高效Fenton降解甲草胺

由于硫化铁在自然环境中的丰富性,其生成活性氧和降解各种有机污染物的类Fenton活性已被广泛研究。然而,由于表面含铁活性位点的暴露有限,它们的类Fenton活性通常不高。在本研究中,以黄铁矿(FeS_(2))为例,基于水蒸汽对FeS_(2)的热处理,开发了一种提高硫化铁矿物Fenton活性的新策略,研究发现经水蒸汽热处理后的FeS_(2)(Heat-FeS_(2))对甲草胺(ACL)的非均相Fenton活性比由水热反应制备的母体FeS_(2)(Fresh-FeS_(2))更高。在初始pH为6.3时,Heat-FeS_(2)-Fenton体系对ACL的降解速率为0.48 min-1,约为Fresh-FeS_(2)-Fentton体系的23倍。电子自旋共振分析和苯甲酸探针实验证实,与Fresh-FeS_(2)-Fenton体系相比,在Heat-FeS_(2)-Fenton体系中产生更多的羟基自由基(·OH)和超氧自由基(·O_(2)^(-))。HeatFeS_(2)的Fenton活性大幅增强主要可归因于含量增加的高活性表面Fe^(2+)/Fe^(3+)组份、较高的Fe^(2+)浸出量和最佳的反应p H条件。扫描电镜,透射电镜,X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和傅里叶变换红外光谱等一系列表征结果表明,热处理可显著促进晶格Fe^(2+)向表面活性Fe^(2+)的转化,同时增强表面SO42-的生成,从而形成高酸性表面。此外,热处理后Fresh-FeS_(2)表面Fe^(2+)在表面总铁中的百分比从13%提高到了Heat-FeS_(2)的29%,而且Heat-FeS_(2)的Fe^(2+)浸出量(0.23 mmol·L-1)也远高于FreshFeS_(2)的Fe^(2+)浸出量(<0.02mmol·L-1)。为了进一步阐明Heat-FeS_(2)材料ACL降解活性增强的机理,我们通过XPS技术监测类Fenton反应前后Heat-FeS_(2)表面Fe和S物种的变化关系。结果表明,H2O_(2)反应后,Fresh-FeS_(2)和Heat-Fee S_(2)中Fe^(2+)和Fe^(3+)的表面含量显著增加,而S_(2)2-物种的表面浓度则相对下降,证实了S_(2)2-物种在Fe^(3+)还原为Fe^(2+)循环中的关键作用。重要的是,本研究不仅加深了对FeS_(2)氧化转化、腐蚀及其对天然环境中有毒有机物转化与降解的认识,而且还提供了一种基于硫化铁矿物的高效Fenton氧化方法。

THE REGULARITY AND UNIQUENESS OF A GLOBAL SOLUTION TO THE ISENTROPIC NAVIER-STOKES EQUATION WITH ROUGH INITIAL DATA

A global weak solution to the isentropic Navier-Stokes equation with initial data around a constant state in the L^(1)∩BV class was constructed in[1].In the current paper,we will continue to study the uniqueness and regularity of the constructed solution.The key ingredients are the Holder continuity estimates of the heat kernel in both spatial and time variables.With these finer estimates,we obtain higher order regularity of the constructed solution to Navier-Stokes equation,so that all of the derivatives in the equation of conservative form are in the strong sense.Moreover,this regularity also allows us to identify a function space such that the stability of the solutions can be established there,which eventually implies the uniqueness.

A Distributed Newton Method for Processing Signals Defined on the Large-Scale Networks

In the graph signal processing(GSP)framework,distributed algorithms are highly desirable in processing signals defined on large-scale networks.However,in most existing distributed algorithms,all nodes homogeneously perform the local computation,which calls for heavy computational and communication costs.Moreover,in many real-world networks,such as those with straggling nodes,the homogeneous manner may result in serious delay or even failure.To this end,we propose active network decomposition algorithms to select non-straggling nodes(normal nodes)that perform the main computation and communication across the network.To accommodate the decomposition in different kinds of networks,two different approaches are developed,one is centralized decomposition that leverages the adjacency of the network and the other is distributed decomposition that employs the indicator message transmission between neighboring nodes,which constitutes the main contribution of this paper.By incorporating the active decomposition scheme,a distributed Newton method is employed to solve the least squares problem in GSP,where the Hessian inverse is approximately evaluated by patching a series of inverses of local Hessian matrices each of which is governed by one normal node.The proposed algorithm inherits the fast convergence of the second-order algorithms while maintains low computational and communication cost.Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

MOF-5/聚偏氟乙烯混合基质膜的制备及抗有机污染性能

针对聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)超滤膜亲水性差、易污染的问题,利用金属有机骨架材料MOF-5作为添加剂,采用非溶剂诱导相分离法(NIPS)制备出MOF-5/PVDF混合基质膜并研究其抗有机污染性能。纯水通量和牛血清蛋白(BSA)截留实验表明,与基膜相比,MOF-5/PVDF混合基质膜在渗透性和选择性方面都有较大提升。对比考察了改性膜和基膜的表面粗糙度、BSA静态吸附、再生性能以及不可逆有机污染率,结果表明,由于MOF-5的添加,显著降低了混合基质膜的表面粗糙度,增强了膜的抗有机污染性能。同时,分析MOF-5添加量对渗透性能和抗有机污染性能的影响,结果显示当其相对于PVDF质量分数为5%时,混合基质膜具有较好的综合性能。与基膜相比,其拉伸强度提高了48.39%,总孔隙率增加了33.3%,纯水通量增加了86.4%,水通量恢复率(FRR)提高到79.43%,不可逆污垢比(Rir)降低到20.57%。

界面聚合反应有机溶剂对聚酰胺复合纳滤膜结构及性能的影响

聚酰胺复合纳滤膜的分离性能主要由聚酰胺分离层决定。在界面聚合反应过程中,有机相溶剂的物理性质影响两相单体在界面的溶解及扩散行为,使聚酰胺分离层微观形貌结构发生变化,从而改变膜性能。以异构烷烃混合型溶剂Isopar G,Isopar H,Isopar L和Isopar M为有机相溶剂采用界面聚合法制备聚酰胺复合纳滤膜,考察上述有机相溶剂对复合纳滤膜聚酰胺交联度、分离层微观结构和聚酰胺高分子链堆积程度的影响,通过分析有机相溶剂物理性质与纳滤膜分离性能、聚酰胺层结构参数之间的相关性,探究有机相溶剂对纳滤膜分离性能的影响机制。结果表明,有机相溶剂的表面张力与聚酰胺高分子团簇的分形维数(D_(m))呈强相关性,相关性系数为-0.98;D_(m)与复合纳滤膜的水透过系数(A)呈强相关性,相关性系数为0.95,即通过选取表面张力较低的有机相溶剂,有利于提高聚酰胺高分子的分形维数,使聚酰胺具有更高的链密度,短分子链结构堆积更加疏松,从而制备具有更高水通量的聚酰胺复合纳滤膜。有机相溶剂的表面张力与A的相关性系数为-0.97,进一步印证了上述结论。

Petrology, geochemistry and geochronology of the Zhongcang ophiolite, northern Tibet: implications for the evolution of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean

Ophiolites are widespread along the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone, northern Tibet. However, it is still debated on the formation ages and tectonic evolution process of these ophiolites. The Zhongcang ophiolite is a typical ophiolite in the western part of the Bangong-Nujiang suture zone. It is composed of serpentinized peridotite, cumulate and isotropic gabbros, massive and pillow basalts, basaltic volcanic breccia, and minor red chert. Zircon SHRIMP Ue Pb dating for the isotropic gabbro yielded weighted mean age of 163.4 ± 1.8 Ma. Positive zircon ε Hf(t) values(+15.0 to +20.2) and mantle-like σ^(18)O values(5.29 ±0.21)% indicate that the isotropic gabbros were derived from a long-term depleted mantle source. The isotropic gabbros have normal mid-ocean ridge basalt(N-MORB) like immobile element patterns with high Mg O, low TiO_2 and moderate rare earth element(REE) abundances, and negative Nb,Ti, Zr and Hf anomalies. Basalts show typical oceanic island basalt(OIB) geochemical features, and they are similar to those of OIB-type rocks of the Early Cretaceous Zhongcang oceanic plateau within the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean. Together with these data, we suggest that the Zhongcang ophiolite was probably formed by the subduction of the Bangong-Nujiang Ocean during the Middle Jurassic. The subduction of the Bangong-Nujiang Tethyan Ocean could begin in the Earlye Middle Jurassic and continue to the Early Cretaceous, and finally continental collision between the Lhasa and Qiangtang terranes at the west Bangong-Nujiang suture zone probably has taken place later than the Early Cretaceous(ca. 110 Ma).

Neurofilament proteins in axonal regeneration and neurodegenerative diseases

Neurofilament protein is a component of the mature neuronal cytoskeleton, and it interacts with the zygosome, which is mediated by neurofilament-related proteins. Neurofilament protein regulates enzyme function and the structure of linker proteins. In addition, neurofilament gene expression plays an important role in nervous system development. Previous studies have shown that neurofilament gene transcriptional regulation is crucial for neurofilament protein expression, especially in axonal regeneration and degenerative diseases. Post-transcriptional regulation increased neurofilament protein gene transcription during axonal regeneration, ultimately resulting in a pattern of neurofilament protein expression. An expression imbalance of post-transcriptional regulatory proteins and other disorders could lead to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or other neurodegenerative diseases. These findings indicated that after transcription, neurofilament protein regulated expression of related proteins and promoted regeneration of damaged axons, suggesting that regulation disorders could lead to neurodegenerative diseases.

Function of note strings in Japanese Tit alarm calls to the Common Cuckoo:a playback experiment

Background: Birds produce alarm calls to convey information about threats. Some Passerine alarm calls consist of several note strings, but few studies have examined their function. Previous studies have shown that Japanese Tits(Parus minor) can alter the calling rate and number and combination of notes in response to predators. We previously found the combinations of note types in Japanese Tit alarm calls to be significantly different in response to the Sparrowhawk(Accipiter nisus) and Common Cuckoo(Cuculus canorus).Methods: Through playback experiments, we tested whether the note strings in Japanese Tit alarm calls to the Common Cuckoo have different functions in conveying information. The note strings of selected alarm calls were divided into the categories of C and D, and different calls were then constructed separately based on the two note string categories. Original alarm calls(C–D), C calls and D calls were played back to male Japanese Tits during the incubation period.Results: Male Japanese Tits had a significantly stronger response to C calls than to C–D calls, and they showed a significantly stronger response to both C and C–D calls than to D calls, suggesting that Japanese Tits discriminated between the C and D calls.Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that the C-and D-category note strings of Japanese Tit alarm calls to the Common Cuckoo have different functions, which supports the previous finding that different note strings in an alarm call can provide different information to receivers. However, the exact meanings of these note strings are not yet known, and further investigation is therefore required.

Comprehensive precursor anomaly research based on earthquake corresponding relevancy spectrum

With the aim to the quantification of anomaly identification and extraction for observed or analyzed records, we present two statistical methods of earthquake corresponding relevancy spectrum （ECRS） and sliding mean relevancy （SMR）. With ECRS method, we can obtain the abnormal confidence attribute of data in different value ranges. Based on the relevancy spectrum in different studied time-intervals, we convert the original time sequence into relevancy time sequence, and can obtain the SMR time series by using the multi-point cumulative sliding mean method. Then we can identify the seismic precursor anomaly. We test this method by taking the time sequence of r/-value in the northern Tianshan region as original data. The result shows that when the studied time-interval is 18 months, the precursor anomaly can be identified bet- ter from sliding mean relevancy. The anomaly corresponding rate is 83 percent, the earthquake corresponding rate is 86 per- cent, and the anomaly is characteristic of the middle term. To try the research on multi-parameter comprehensive application, we take the Kalpin tectonic block in Xinjiang as our studied region, and analyze the spatial and temporal abnormal characters of multi-parameter sliding extreme-value relevancy （MSER） before mid-strong earthquakes in the Kalpin block. The result indicates that ECRS and SMR sequence in different time-intervals can not only be used to identify the precursor anomaly of single-item data, but also offer the data of quantitative single-item anomaly for comprehensive earthquake analysis and prediction.

基于不同碳链长度二元酸的脂肪族聚酯的合成及性能

分别以5种不同碳链长度的脂肪族二元酸(C4、C6、C8、C10、C12)和丁二醇为单体,采用先酯化后缩聚的两步法合成一系列脂肪族聚酯:聚丁二酸丁二醇酯(PBS)、聚己二酸丁二醇酯(PBA)、聚辛二酸丁二醇酯(PBSu)、聚癸二酸丁二醇酯(PBSe)和聚十二烷二酸丁二醇酯(PBD)。研究了脂肪族二元酸单体的碳链长度对5种聚酯的结构、热性能和力学性能的影响。研究表明,5种聚酯的Mw在125000~250200之间,其结果与特性黏度具有一致性。随着脂肪族二元酸碳链长度的增加,聚酯的T_c,T_m和T_g均先降低后升高;PBSu(C8)的结晶度最高(71.2%),PBA(C6)的结晶度最低(33.8%)。随着碳链长度的增加,聚酯的初始分解温度逐渐向高温区移动,聚酯的拉伸强度逐渐降低;断裂伸长率先增加后降低,PBS(C4)的拉伸强度最大(58.55 MPa),PBSu(C8)的断裂伸长率最大(897.2%)。5种脂肪族聚酯均属于典型的假塑性流体。

Features of seismicity in Xinjiang and its possible reason after the Yutian M_S7.4 earthquake,2008

The paper discusses quantitatively the influence of the Yutian Ms7.4 earthquake of March 21, 2008 and Wuqia Ms6.9 earthquake of October 5, 2008 on regional seismicity in Xinjiang, and explains primarily the possible reason of earthquake activity feature in Xinjiang after the Yutian Ms7.4 earthquake by analyzing the static Coulomb failure stress change produced by the Yutian Ms7.4 earthquake and Wuqia Ms6.9 earth-quake, and the seismicity feature of Ms≥3 earthquakes in the positive Coulomb stress change region of Kashi-Wuqia joint region, the central segment of Tianshan Mountain and Kalpin block. The result shows that the Yutian Ms7.4 earthquake of March 21, 2008, may encourage the Wuqia Ms6.9 earth-quake of October 5, 2008, and the Yutian Ms7.4 earthquake and Wuqia Ms6.9 earthquake may change the seismicity state in the central segment of Tianshan Mountain, Kalpin block and Kashi-Wuqia joint region, and encourage the subsequent Ms≥3 earthquakes.
