Recommendation of SLM Process Parameters Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process and Weighted Particle Swarm Optimization for High-Temperature Alloys.

Selective laser melting (SLM) of high-temperature alloys involves intricate interdependencies among key process parameters, such as laser power and scanning speed, affecting properties such as density and tensile strength. However, relying solely on experiential knowledge for process parameter design often hampers the precise attainment of target requirements. To address this challenge, we propose an innovative approach that integrates the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted particle swarm optimization (WPSO) to recommend SLM process parameters for high-temperature alloy fabrication.

CRISPR/Cas9-Based Genome Editing in the Filamentous Fungus and Its Application in Manipulating .

is an important industrial fungus that produces the pneumocandin B, which is used for the synthesis of antifungal drug caspofungin. However, because of the limitations and complications of traditional genetic tools, strain engineering has been hindered. In this study, we established an efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing tool in SIPI1208.

Novel Polysaccharide H-1-2 from Pseudostellaria Heterophylla Alleviates Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background/aims: To investigate the potential therapeutic effect of novel polysaccharide H-1-2 from pseudostellaria heterophylla against type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and elucidate the underling molecular mechanisms.

Methods: Relative expression of HIF1α and Sirt1 in T2DM patients was determined via real-time PCR. The direct binding of HIF1α on Sirt1 promoter was validated by ChIP assay.

Enhancement of A82846B yield and proportion by overexpressing the halogenase gene in Amycolatopsis orientalis SIPI18099.

The glycopeptide antibiotic A82846B (chloroeremomycin) produced by Amycolatopsis orientalis is the precursor of the semi-synthetic antibiotic oritavancin. However, during the industrial production of A82846B, two major impurities, A82846A (63.6%) and A82846C (12%) which are structurally similar to A82846B (24.

[The effect of Salvianolic Acid B on the Apoptosis of HUVECs Induced by Intermittent High Glucose].

Objective: To investigate the effect of Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) on the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by intermittent high glucose and to explore the possible mechanisms.

Methods: HUVECs were preincubated with Sal B for 24 h, followed by incubation with intermittent high glucose (IHG, 5.5 mmol/L 12 h, 33.

[Effect of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule on Myocardial Fibrosis in Diabetic Rats].

Objective: To investigate the effect of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule on myocardial fibrosis in diabetic rats with fluctuated blood glucose and the possible mechanisms implicated.

Methods: Following induction of diabetes with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ), rats were administered with insulin or glucose at different time during a day to induce blood glucose fluctuation. After treatment with Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule for six weeks, rats were sacrificed and the hearts were collected for the determination of cardiac mass index.

[Medication rule for treatment of functional dyspepsia: an analysis of traditional Chinese medicine literature based on China National Knowledge Internet].

By retrieving the clinical research literature of treatment functional dyspepsia by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from January 2004 to December 2014 based on China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), we would establish a TCM decoction database for treating functional dyspepsia in this study. One hundred and sixty-four literature were included, involving 159 prescriptions, 377 medicines, in a total of 1 990 herbs. These herbs can be divided into 18 categories according to the effectiveness; and qi-regulating herbs, blood circulation herbs, and antipyretic herbs ranked top three ones according to the frequency of usage of the herbs, whose medicine usage frequency accounted for 51.

[Effect of danzhi jiangtang capsule combined exercise on the protein expression of NADPH oxidase p22phox in pancreatic tissues of diabetic rats].

Objective: To explore effects of exercise combined Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule (DJC) on the protein expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase p22phox in pancreatic tissues of diabetic rats.

Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were injected with low dose of streptozotocin and fed with high fat diet to establish a diabetic rat model. The levels of p22phox and 8-hydroxy-2-de-oxyguanosine (8-OHdG) protein in pancreatic tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method, and the level of p22phox protein was also detected by Western blot in the normal group, the model group, the excise group, the DJC group, and the DJC +excise group, respectively.

[Effects of danzhi jiangtang Capsule combined exercise on pancreatic oxidative stress and islet beta-cell function in diabetic rats].

Objective: To explore the effects of Danzhi Jiangtang Capsule (DJC) and exercise on islet beta-cell function index (HOMA-% beta), blood glucose, and oxidative stress of diabetic rats.

Methods: A diabetic rat model was established using low dose streptozotocin and high fat forage in 60 male Wistar rats. The effects of exercise, DJC, and DJC combined exercise on the serum levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), as well as the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the pancreatic tissue were observed.
