Motion-capture technology is utilized to quantify and characterize locomotor behaviors to reveal the mechanisms of animal motion. In the capture of flexible, small animals with complex locomotor behaviors, the markers interfere with each other easily, and the motion forms(bending, twisting) of the moving parts are obviously different;thus, it is a great challenge to realize accurate quantitative characterization of complex locomotor behaviors. The correlation between the marker properties, including the size and space length, and the precision of the system are revealed in this paper, and the effects of diverse marker shapes on the capturing accuracy of the captured objects in different motion forms were tested. Results showed that the precision of system is significantly improved when the ratio of the space length to the diameter of the markers is larger than four;for the capture of the spatial twisting motion of the flexible object, the hexagon markers had the lowest spatial lost-marker rate relative to the circle, triangle, and square. Customized markers were used to capture the locomotor behavior of the gecko-inspired robot(rigid connection) and the gecko(flexible connection). The results showed that this marking technology can achieve high accuracy of motion capture for geckos(the average deviation was approximately 0.32 mm, and the average deviation’s variation rate was approximately 0.96%). In this paper, the marking technology for the motion capture of flexible, small animals with complex motion is proposed;it can effectively improve the system precision as well as the capture accuracy, and realize the quantitative characterization of the complex motion of flexible, small objects. It provides a reliable technical means to deeply study the evolution of the motion function of small animals and advance systematic research of motion-capture technology.展开更多

However, there is lack of efficient quantification strategy in peptidome analysis. In this study, a strategy with label-free quantification of the targeted endogenous peptides based on peak intensity using μUPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS was developed for quantitative peptidome analysis of human serum. Different amounts of standard BSA tryptic digesting peptides were added into the same serum extracts for evaluation of the developed strategy, and it was observed that the average relative error of the targeted peptides was 6.42%, which was superior to the result obtained directly by commercially available software PLGS. It was also demonstrated that this quantification strategy could obviously increase the detection sensitivity of the peptide by DDA analysis. Then, this strategy was applied to comparatively analyze the peptides extracted from the serum of HCC or breast cancer patients and healthy individuals, respectively. Peptides with charge states up to 5 and molecular weight over 4000 can be reliably identified and quantified. This quantitative analysis method based on μUPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS exhibited superior sensitivity than that by MALDI-TOF-MS commonly used in peptidome analysis. Finally, some interesting endogenous peptides related to corresponding diseases were successfully obtained.展开更多
