SHT-based public auditing protocol with error tolerance in FDL-empowered IoVs

With the intelligentization of the Internet of Vehicles(lovs),Artificial Intelligence(Al)technology is becoming more and more essential,especially deep learning.Federated Deep Learning(FDL)is a novel distributed machine learning technology and is able to address the challenges like data security,privacy risks,and huge communication overheads from big raw data sets.However,FDL can only guarantee data security and privacy among multiple clients during data training.If the data sets stored locally in clients are corrupted,including being tampered with and lost,the training results of the FDL in intelligent IoVs must be negatively affected.In this paper,we are the first to design a secure data auditing protocol to guarantee the integrity and availability of data sets in FDL-empowered IoVs.Specifically,the cuckoo filter and Reed-Solomon codes are utilized to guarantee error tolerance,including efficient corrupted data locating and recovery.In addition,a novel data structure,Skip Hash Table(SHT)is designed to optimize data dynamics.Finally,we illustrate the security of the scheme with the Computational Diffie-Hellman(CDH)assumption on bilinear groups.Sufficient theoretical analyses and performance evaluations demonstrate the security and efficiency of our scheme for data sets in FDL-empowered IoVs.

Fluid property identification of the Lower Cretaceous reservoirs with complex oil-water contacts in Deseo Basin,Chad

Recently,exploration breakthroughs have been made in the Lower Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs in the Doseo Basin,but the identification of reservoir fluid property is difficult due to variable reservoir lithology,complex oil-water contact within and faint responses of the oil zone,which causes the lower accuracy of reservoir fluid property identification with conventional mudlogging and wirelogging techniques.Applying the geochemical logging,fluorescent logging,mud logging and cutting logging technology,in combination with formation test data,this paper distinguishes the crude oil types,analyzes the logging response characteristics of oil zone after water washing,and establishes the interpretation charts and parameter standards for reservoir fluid properties.The crude oil can be divided into two types,namely viscous-heavy and thin-light,based on total hydrocarbon content and component concentration tested by mud logging,features of pyrolysis gas chromatogram and fluorescence spectroscopy.The general characteristics of oil layers experienced water washing include the decrease of total hydrocarbon content and component concentration from mud logging,the decrease of S1 and PS values from geochemical logging,the decrease of hydrocarbon abundance and absence of some light components in pyrolysis gas chromatogram,and the decrease of fluorescence area and intensity from fluorescence logging.According to crude oil types,the cross plots of S1 versus peak-baseline ratio,and the cross plots of rock wettability versus fluorescence area ratio are drawn and used to interpret reservoir fluid property.Meanwhile,the standards of reservoir fluid parameter are established combining with the parameters of PS and the parameters in above charts,and comprehensive multiparameter correlation in both vertical and horizontal ways is also performed to interpret reservoir fluid property.The application in the Doseo Basin achieved great success,improving interpretation ability of fluid property in the reservoir with complex oil-water contact,and also provided technical reference for the efficient exploration and development of similar reservoirs.

Recent progress in ternary mixed matrix membranes for CO_(2) separation

Mixed matrix membranes(MMMs)could combine the advantages of both polymeric membranes and porousfillers,making them an effective alternative to conventional polymer membranes.However,interfacial incompatibility issues,such as the presence of interfacial voids,hardening of polymer chains,and blockage of micropores by polymers between common MMMsfillers and the polymer matrix,currently limit the gas sep-aration performance of MMMs.Ternary phase MMMs(consisting of afiller,an additive,and a matrix)made by adding a third compound,usually functionalized additives,can overcome the structural problems of binary phase MMMs and positively impact membrane separation performance.This review introduces the structure and fabrication processes for ternary MMMs,categorizes various nanofillers and the third component,and summarizes and analyzes in detail the CO_(2) separation performance of newly developed ternary MMMs based on both rubbery and glassy polymers.Based on this separation data,the challenges of ternary MMMs are also discussed.Finally,future directions for ternary MMMs are proposed.

葡萄糖氧化制葡萄糖酸的催化剂结构敏感性研究进展

葡萄糖酸及其衍生物已广泛应用于食品和医药加工生产工业,学术界和工业界对葡萄糖酸的绿色合成非常关注.目前,在工业上采用葡萄糖发酵法来制备葡萄糖酸.尽管经过多年的研究和技术改进,该工艺仍然存在很多问题,诸如废水处理能耗高、酶分离程序复杂等技术难题.因此,开发适应时代发展的高环保和低污染等要求的新工艺方法迫在眉睫.近年来,非均相催化剂已成功应用于催化氧化反应.在葡萄糖催化氧化制葡萄糖酸工艺中, Au,Pt,Pd固载催化剂因展现出优异的性能而被广泛的研究报道.由Au,Pt,Pd等贵金属的双金属催化剂也展现出了更高的活性,因此采用非贵金属作为第二种金属也可降低催化剂成本.在过去十几年中,研究人员致力于探索合成方法/条件、催化剂结构、反应条件等因素对催化剂性能的影响规律,并归纳出葡萄糖氧化得到葡萄糖酸的反应机理,最终寻找到进一步提高催化剂活性和葡萄糖酸的选择性、以及延长催化剂生命周期的科学方法.在诸多研究成果报道中,催化剂粒径普遍被认为是影响葡萄糖氧化反应速率的最主要因素之一.改变合成方法和条件可调控催化剂粒径,如合成方法、配位体种类、合成条件等.本文详细讨论了影响催化剂理化性能的几个因素:(1)在葡萄糖氧化为葡萄糖酸反应过程中,碱性添加剂可以调节反应溶液的pH值,进而调控催化剂性能.但是碱的添加不但造成反应设备的腐蚀,也容易导致催化剂失活,提高了催化剂再生成本.因此,开发出在酸性条件中仍然能展现出高性能的催化剂非常有必要.(2)由于氧气在反应溶液中溶解度较低,限制了产物的收率的提高,因此采用过氧化氢很有可能替代氧气用于葡萄糖氧化过程.(3)减少活性位在催化剂表面的密度,并提高金属活性位在催化剂表面的分散度,可以有效的缓解因催化剂活性位中毒、颗粒烧结、金属浸出、有机物吸附等诸多原因造成的催化剂失活现象.因此进一步研究催化剂合成方法来获得高分散的金属催化剂是非常有必要的.(4)在添加碱和不添加碱的条件下葡萄糖氧化制葡萄糖酸反应的机制是不同的,所以深入研究反应动力学和反应机理,对于催化工艺的开发都具有重大意义.(5)工艺操作条件对葡萄糖酸产率具有显著影响,葡萄糖氧化包含了众多连续-平行反应,生成众多副主产物,因此要弄清楚反应条件对葡萄糖酸产率的影响机制,需要系统和全面的研究.(6)贵金属储量低和价格高等因素进一步限制了提高该工艺方法的经济收益,因此,开发出非贵金属基催化氧化葡萄糖氧化的工艺方法是潜在的重要研究目标和方向.总之,本综述总结了最近5年来非均相催化剂在葡萄糖氧化制葡萄糖酸反应中最新进展,主要讨论了金、铂和钯基的单金属和双金属催化剂性能,同时辅以其他金属催化剂,提出了葡萄糖氧化制葡萄糖酸绿色合成方法的未来机遇和挑战,以期为设计出有效的非均相催化剂,用于催化氧化生物质及其衍生物的反应中.

Ability of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells to repair chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure

BACKGROUND Premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)and premature ovarian failure(POF)have become one of the major problems threatening women of childbearing age.Studies have shown that stem cells transplanted from bone marrow,umbilical cord,peripheral blood and amniotic fluid can migrate and proliferate to the ovary,promote ovarian function repair,increase the number of follicles and granulosa cells at all levels of ovary,improve endocrine function,and can differentiate into oocytes in specific ovarian environment to restore fertility to some extent.AIM To study the ability of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUCMSCs)to repair ovarian injury after chemotherapy.METHODS A total of 110 female BALB/c mice(aged 7-8 wk old)with body masses of 16.0-20.0 g were selected.The mice were fed until 12 wk of age,and cyclophosphamide was administered by intraperitoneal injection for 14 consecutive days to induce premature ovarian failure in mice.Seventy-five mice with estrous cycle disorder were screened and randomly divided into 3 groups according to their body weight:model group,positive control group and hUCMSC group,and each group had 25 mice.Another 25 mice were used as negative controls.The mice in the hUCMSC group were injected with hUCMSCs in the tail vein,and the mice in the positive control group were given an oestradiol valerate solution and a medroxyprogesterone acetate solution in the tail vein.On the 1^st,15^th,30^th,45^th,and 60^th days after intravenous administration,vaginal smears were made to monitor the estrous cycles of the mice.The ovaries were weighed,and pathological sections were made to observe the morphology of the follicles;blood samples were collected to monitor the concentration of sex hormones(oestradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone).RESULTS The estrous cycles of the model group mice were disrupted throughout the experiment.Mice in the hUCMSC group and the positive control group resumed normal estrous cycles.The ovarian weight of the model group mice continued to decline.The ovarian weight of the hUCMSC group mice and the positive control group mice decreased first and then gradually increased,and the ovarian weight of the hUCMSC group mice was heavier than that of the positive control group mice.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the negative control group,the model group experienced a decrease in oestradiol and an increase in follicle-stimulating hormone,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the hUCMSC and positive control groups experienced a slight increase in oestradiol and a decrease in follicle-stimulating hormone;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The pathological examination revealed that the mouse ovaries from the model group were atrophied,the volume was reduced,the cortical and medullary structures were disordered,the number of follicles at all stages was significantly reduced,the number of atretic follicles increased,the number of primordial follicles and corpus luteum significantly decreased,and the corpus luteum had an irregular shape.Compared with those of the model group,the lesions of the hUCMSC and positive control groups significantly improved.CONCLUSION hUCMSCs can repair ovarian tissue damaged by chemotherapy to a certain extent,can improve the degree of apoptosis in ovarian tissue,and can improve the endocrine function of mouse ovaries.

D-dimer level and long-term outcome in patients with end-stage heart failure secondary to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

Background Previous studies had demonstrated hemostatic abnormalities in patients with heart failure (HF) and several studies have shown that abnormal coagulation indices, represented by elevated D-dimer, had prognostic significance in patients with compatible or acute decompensated HF. However, the impact of D-dimer on the outcome in patients with end-stage HF remains unclear. Methods A total of 244 consecutive patients with end-stage HF due to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) were prospectively enrolled from February 2011 to September 2014. D-dimer levels were measured and its prognostic value was assessed. Primary endpoint was all-cause mortality during the follow-up period. Secondary endpoints were stroke, bleeding, occurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Results D-dimer was significantly elevated in the non-survivors (median: 0.8 vs. 1.1 mg/L, P < 0.001). Traditional markers including B-type natriuretic peptide, troponin I, left ventricular ejection fraction, and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension provided limited prognostic value;but the addition of D-dimer refined the risk stratification. The optimal cut-off value of D-dimer to predict all-cause mortality was 0.84 mg/L by receiver operator characteristic analysis. Elevated D-dimer level was independently associated with increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality (HR = 2.315, 95% CI: 1.570–3.414, P < 0.001) and MACE (HR = 1.256, 95% CI: 1.058–1.490, P = 0.009), and the predictive value was independent of age, sex, atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation status. Conclusions Elevated D-dimer level was independently associated with poor long-term outcome in patients with end-stage HF secondary to idiopathic DCM, and the predictive value was superior to that of traditional prognostic markers.

Characterisation of the bacterial community in expressed prostatic secretions from patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome and infertile men： a preliminary investigation

The expressed prostatic secretions （EPSs） of men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome （CP/CPPS）, infertile men and normal men were subjected to microbiological study. EPSs were collected from the subjects, which included 26 normal men, 11 infertile patients and 51 CP/CPPS patients. DNA was extracted from each specimen, and the V3 regions of the 16S rRNA genes were amplified using universal bacterial primers. The results showed that the EPS 16S rRNA gene-positive rate in the CP/CPPS and infertile patients was much higher than in the normal men, but without any difference among the three patient groups. The denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） method was used to characterize the EPS bacterial community structure of the prostate fluid from patients with CP/CPPS or infertility issues. Principal component analysis （PCA） and partial least squares （PLS） analyses of PCR-DGGE profiles revealed that the EPS bacterial community structure differed among the three groups. Three bands were identified as the key factors responsible for the discrepancy between CP/CPPS patients and infertile patients （P〈O.05）. Two bands were identified as priority factors in the discrepancy of category IliA and category IIIB prostatitis patients （P〈O.05）. According to this research, the ecological balance of the prostate and low urethra tract, when considered as a microenvironment, might play an important role in the maintenance of a healthy male reproductive tract.

Risk scores,prevention,and treatment of maternal venous thromboembolism

BACKGROUND At present,the preventive treatment for pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism(VTE)in China is in its infancy,and there is no uniform or standardized industry guide.Drug prevention and treatment of pregnancyrelated VTE rely highly on foreign guidelines;however,due to the differences in ethnicity and national conditions,there are many controversies over the indications for drug treatment,drug selection,and dose selection for anticoagulant therapy.AIM To investigate the risk scores,prevention,and treatment of maternal VTE to promote the prevention and standardized treatment of maternal thrombosis.METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 7759 patients who gave birth at our hospital from June 2018 to June 2019.Risk factors for pregnancy-related VTE,prenatal and postpartum VTE risk scores,prophylactic anticoagulant therapy,side effects after medication,and morbidity were analysed.RESULTS The risk factors for VTE were mainly caesarean delivery,obesity,and advanced maternal age.Regarding pregnancy-related VTE risk scores,there were 7520 patients in the low-risk group with a prenatal score<3 points and 239 in the high-risk group with a score≥3,and 44 patients received drug prevention and treatment during pregnancy.There were 4223 patients in the low-risk group with a postpartum score<2 points and 3536 in the high-risk group with a score≥2 points,and 824 patients received drug prevention and treatment for 10 d.Among the patients who did not present with VTE before delivery,we found one case each of pulmonary embolism secondary to lower extremity venous thrombosis,intracranial venous sinus thrombosis,and asymptomatic lower extremity venous thrombosis during the postpartum follow-up.CONCLUSION VTE poses a serious threat to maternal safety,and the society should increase its vigilance against pregnancy-related VTE.

【原创论文】组蛋白甲基转移化酶基因SETDB1促进前列腺癌细胞的增殖、迁徙和侵袭

SETDB1 has been established as an oncogene in a number of human carcinomas. The present study was to evaluate the expression of SETDB1 in prostate cancer （PCa） tissues and cells and to preliminarily investigate the role of SETDB1 in prostate tumorigenesis in vitro. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （qRT-PCR） and immunohistochemistry （IHC） were used to detect the expression of SETDB1 in PCa tissues, adjacent normal tissues, benign prostatic hyperplasia （BPH） tissues, PCa cell lines and normal prostate epithelial cells. The results suggested that SETDB1 was upregulated in human PCa tissues compared with normal tissues at the mRNA and protein levels. The role of SETDB1 in proliferation was analyzed with cell counting kit-8, colony-forming efficiency and flow cytometry assays. The results indicated that downregulation of SETDB1 by siRNA inhibited PCa cell growth, and induced GO/G1 cell cycle arrest. The PCa cell migration and invasion decreased by silcencing SETDBt which were assessed by using in vitro scratch and transwell invasion assay respectively. Our data suggested that SETDB1 is overexpressed in human PCa. Silencing SETDB1 inhibited PCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

Down-regulated γ-catenin expression is associated with tumor aggressiveness in esophageal cancer

AIM:To evaluate the significance ofγ-catenin in clinical pathology,cellular function and signaling mechanism in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).METHODS:The mRNA expression ofγ-catenin was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in 95 tissue specimens and evaluated for association with the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival time of patients with ESCC.siRNAs against humanγ-catenin were used to inhibitγ-catenin expression.Hanging drop aggregation assay and dispase-based dissociation assay were performed to detect the effect ofγ-catenin on ESCC cell-cell adhesion.Transwell assay was performed to determine cell migration.Luciferase-based transcriptional reporter assay(TOPflash)was used to measureβ-catenindependent transcription in cells with reducedγ-catenin expression.The expression and subcellular localizations ofβ-catenin and E-cadherin were examined using Western blot and immunofluorescence analysis.RESULTS:γ-catenin mRNA expression was significantly associated with tumor histological grade(P=0.017)in ESCC.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed thatγ-catenin expression levels had an impact on the survival curve,with lowγ-catenin indicating worse survival(P=0.003).The multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated thatγ-catenin was an independent prognostic factor for survival.Experimentally,silencingγ-catenin caused defects in cell-cell adhesion and a concomitant increase in cell migration in both KYSE150 and TE3 ESCC cells.Analysis of Wnt signaling revealed no activation event associated withγ-catenin expression.Totalβ-catenin and Triton X-100-insolubleβ-catenin were significantly reduced in theγ-catenin-specific siRNA-transfected KYSE150 and TE3 cells,whereas Triton X-100-solubleβ-catenin was not altered.Moreover,knocking downγ-catenin expression resulted in a significant decrease of E-cadherin and Triton X-100-insoluble desmocollin-2,along with reducedβ-catenin and E-cadherin membrane localization in ESCC cells.CONCLUSION:γ-catenin is a tumor suppressor in ESCC and may serve as a prognostic marker.Dysregulated expression ofγ-catenin may play important roles in ESCC progression.

Online complex nonlinear industrial process operating optimality assessment using modified robust total kernel partial M-regression

Although industrial processes often perform perfectly under design conditions, they may deviate from the optimal operating point owing to parameters drift, environmental disturbances, etc. Thus, it is necessary to develop efficacious strategies or procedure to assess the process performance online. In this paper, we explore the issue of operating optimality assessment for complex industrial processes based on performance-similarity considering nonlinearities and outliers simultaneously, and a general enforced online performance assessment framework is proposed. In the offline part, a new and modified total robust kernel projection to latent structures algorithm,T-KPRM, is proposed and used to evaluate the complex nonlinear industrial process, which can effectively extract the optimal-index-related process variation information from process data and establish assessment models for each performance grades overcoming the effects of outlier. In the online part, the online assessment results can be obtained by calculating the similarity between the online data from a sliding window and each of the performance grades. Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of online assessment, we propose an online assessment strategy taking account of the effects of noise and process uncertainties. The Euclidean distance between the sliding data window and the optimal evaluation level is employed to measure the contribution rates of variables, which indicate the possible reason for the non-optimal operating performance. The proposed framework is tested on a real industrial case: dense medium coal preparation process, and the results shows the efficiency of the proposed method comparing to the existing method.
