Bioengineer mesenchymal stem cell for treatment of glioma by IL-12 mediated microenvironment reprogramming and nCD47-SLAMF7 mediated phagocytosis regulation of macrophages.

High expression of cellular self-activated immunosuppressive molecules and extensive infiltration of suppressive immune cells in the tumor microenvironment are the main factors contributing to glioma's resistance to immunotherapy. Nonetheless, technology to modify the expression of glioma cellular self-molecules through gene editing requires further development. This project advances cell therapy strategies to reverse the immunosuppressive microenvironment of glioma (TIME).

A neural circuit from paratenial thalamic nucleus to anterior cingulate cortex for the regulation of opioid-induced hyperalgesia in male rats.

Prolonged use of opioids can lead to increased sensitivity to painful stimuli, a condition referred to as opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). However, the mechanisms underlying this contradictory situation remain unclear. This study elucidates the pivotal role of the paratenial thalamic nucleus (PT)-anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) neuronal circuit in the development of OIH in male rats.

Enhanced oxidative degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol by iron oxychloride supported on graphitic carbon nitride via peroxymonosulfate activation: Significant role of Fe(II)/Fe(III) conversion cycle.

The activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by heterogeneous catalysts presents an exciting but challenging strategy for degrading persistent organic pollutants in water. Iron oxychloride (FeOCl) is considered a promising heterogeneous catalyst due to its unique oxygen bridge structure, which could render it more active by facilitating the iron valence transitions between Fe(II) and Fe(III). However, the limited Fe(II)/Fe(III) conversion cycle rate hinders its catalytic activity, leading to unsatisfactory PMS activations in practical applications.

Phase behavior and synergistic gelation of scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) male gonad hydrolysates and gellan gum driven by pH.

Hybrid mRMR and multi-objective particle swarm feature selection methods and application to metabolomics of traditional Chinese medicine.

Metabolomics data has high-dimensional features and a small sample size, which is typical of high-dimensional small sample (HDSS) data. Too high a dimensionality leads to the curse of dimensionality, and too small a sample size tends to trigger overfitting, which poses a challenge to deeper mining in metabolomics. Feature selection is a valuable technique for effectively handling the challenges HDSS data poses.

A non-linear partial least squares based on monotonic inner relation.

A novel regression model, monotonic inner relation-based non-linear partial least squares (MIR-PLS), is proposed to address complex issues like limited observations, multicollinearity, and nonlinearity in Chinese Medicine (CM) dose-effect relationship experimental data. MIR-PLS uses a piecewise mapping function based on monotonic cubic splines to model the non-linear inner relations between input and output score vectors. Additionally, a new weight updating strategy (WUS) is developed by leveraging the properties of monotonic functions.

Analysing pharmacodynamic interactions of traditional Chinese medicine in treating acute pancreatitis based on OPLS method.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a surgical abdominal disease for which the Dachengqi Decoction (DCQD) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is widely used in China. This study aims to analyse the pharmacodynamic interactions and quantitative relationship of DCQD in the treatment of AP based on orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) analysis. The experimental data show organic chemical components as candidate pharmacodynamic substances (PS) in the blood and include pharmacodynamic indicators (PIs).

New research for detecting complex associations between variables with randomness.

Many correlation analysis methods can capture a wide range of functional types of variables. However, the influence of uncertainty and distribution status in data is not considered, which leads to the neglect of the regularity information between variables, so that the correlation of variables that contain functional relationship but subject to specific distributions cannot be well identified. Therefore, a novel correlation analysis framework for detecting associations between variables with randomness (RVCR-CA) is proposed.

Feature selection based on neighborhood rough sets and Gini index.

Neighborhood rough set is considered an essential approach for dealing with incomplete data and inexact knowledge representation, and it has been widely applied in feature selection. The Gini index is an indicator used to evaluate the impurity of a dataset and is also commonly employed to measure the importance of features in feature selection. This article proposes a novel feature selection methodology based on these two concepts.

An improved particle swarm optimization combined with double-chaos search.

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been successfully applied to various complex optimization problems due to its simplicity and efficiency. However, the update strategy of the standard PSO algorithm is to learn from the global best particle, making it difficult to maintain diversity in the population and prone to premature convergence due to being trapped in local optima. Chaos search mechanism is an optimization technique based on chaotic dynamics, which utilizes the randomness and nonlinearity of a chaotic system for global search and can escape from local optima.

According to the gelatin zymography, the type of endogenous enzymes in intestinal extracts were mainly serine endopeptidases with optimal activities at pH 9.

MicroRNA-146a Improved Acute Lung Injury Induced by hepatic Ischemia-reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting PRDX1.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by high incidence and poor prognosis. The regulatory role of microRNA-146a (miR-146a) in HIRI has been reported, but if miR-146a could affect the progression of HIRI-induced ALI has not been reported. The mice HIRI model was established by ligating left hepatic portal vein and hepatic artery for 60 minutes and then treating with reperfusion for 4 hours.

Leaf morphology, functional trait and altitude response in perennial vetch (Vicia unijuga A. Braun), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.).

Species have plasticity across altitude gradients in leaf morphology and function, and their response to high altitude conditions was mainly reflected in leaf cell metabolism and gas exchange. Leaf morphological and functional adaptation to altitude has received research attention in recent years, but there are no studies for forage legumes. Here we report differences in 39 leaf morphology and functional traits of three leguminous forages (alfalfa, sainfoin and perennial vetch) at three sites in Gansu Province, China, ranging from 1768 to 3074 m altitude to provide information for potential use in breeding programmes.
