The National Institutes of Health recommends acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for stroke recovery. This study included patients with post-stroke detrusor overactivity who were treated in the Department of Neurology, Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University, China. Subjects received either electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture at points Baliao [including bilateral Shangliao （BL31）, bilateral Ciliao （BL32）, bilateral Zhongliao （BL33）, and bilateral Xialiao （BL34）] and Huiyang （BL35）. Our results showed that electroacupuncture significantly improved cystometric capacity and bladder compliance, decreased detrusor leak point pressure, ameliorated lower urinary tract symptoms, and decreased the risk of upper urinary tract damage. These findings indicate that electroacupuncture at points Bafiao and Huiyang is an effective treatment for post-stroke detrusor overactivity.展开更多

Anthocyanin biosynthesis is induced by environmental stresses, plant hormones, sugar, and so on. Tyrosine (Tyr) is the precursor of melanin that exits in both animals and plants. However, until now it has been unknown whether Tyr induces anthocyanin biosynthesis. In this study, the seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were treated with exogenous Tyr and then the anthocyanin accumulation was determined. The results showed that Tyr induced anthocyanin accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the expression of the late anthocyanin biosynthetic genes including DFR, LDOX, and UF3GT, and the transcription factor genes PAP1, PAP2, and EGL3 was induced by Tyr. Taken together, these results demonstrated that Tyr is able to induce anthocyanin accumulation and suggested that Tyr up-regulates transcription factors PAP1, PAP2, and EGL3, which mediates the expression of the late anthocyanin biosynthetic genes and then induces anthocyanin biosynthesis.展开更多

文摘With the growing demand formore comprehensive and nuanced sentiment understanding,Multimodal Sentiment Analysis(MSA)has gained significant traction in recent years and continues to attract widespread attention in the academic community.Despite notable advances,existing approaches still face critical challenges in both information modeling and modality fusion.On one hand,many current methods rely heavily on encoders to extract global features from each modality,which limits their ability to capture latent fine-grained emotional cues within modalities.On the other hand,prevailing fusion strategies often lack mechanisms to model semantic discrepancies across modalities and to adaptively regulate modality interactions.To address these limitations,we propose a novel framework for MSA,termed Multi-Granularity Guided Fusion(MGGF).The proposed framework consists of three core components:(i)Multi-Granularity Feature Extraction Module,which simultaneously captures both global and local emotional features within each modality,and integrates them to construct richer intra-modal representations;(ii)Cross-ModalGuidance Learning Module(CMGL),which introduces a cross-modal scoring mechanism to quantify the divergence and complementarity betweenmodalities.These scores are then used as guiding signals to enable the fusion strategy to adaptively respond to scenarios of modality agreement or conflict;(iii)Cross-Modal Fusion Module(CMF),which learns the semantic dependencies among modalities and facilitates deep-level emotional feature interaction,thereby enhancing sentiment prediction with complementary information.We evaluate MGGF on two benchmark datasets:MVSA-Single and MVSA-Multiple.Experimental results demonstrate that MGGF outperforms the current state-of-the-art model CLMLF on MVSA-Single by achieving a 2.32% improvement in F1 score.On MVSA-Multiple,it surpasses MGNNS with a 0.26% increase in accuracy.These results substantiate the effectiveness ofMGGFin addressing two major limitations of existing methods—insufficient intra-modal fine-grained sentiment modeling and inadequate cross-modal semantic fusion.

文摘Objective:To observe the effect and mechanism of Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction(XSLJZD)drug serum on gastric antrum smooth muscle cells(SMCs)in rats with functional dyspepsia(FD).Methods:Gastric antrum SMCs from rats with FD were isolated,cultured,and then divided into six groups as follows:control,model,domperidone,low-dose XSLJZD(LXSLJZD),medium-dose XSLJZD(MXSLJZD),and high-dose XSLJZD(HXSLJZD).Each group was administered the corresponding drug serum for intervention.Drug serum intervention conditions and proliferative activity of SMCs were tested by cholecystokinin octapeptide.Ghrelin,gastrin,somatostatin,and substance P(SP)levels were measured by ELISA.Somatostatin and SP mRNA expression was measured by real-time PCR.Results:A concentration of 10%drug serum for 24 h was decided to be the best intervention condition for later study.The mean optical density value in the model group was lower than that in the control group(P紏.001).Optical density values in the domperidone and HXSLJZD groups were higher than those in the model group(P?.025,P?.032,respectively).Gastrin,SP,and ghrelin levels in the model group were lower(P?.007,P?.037,P?.005,respectively),but somatostatin levels were higher,compared with those in the control group(P?.031).Gastrin,SP,and ghrelin levels in the domperidone,MXSLJZD,and HXSLJZD groups were higher than those in the model group(all P<.05).Somatostatin levels in the four drug-treated groups were lower than those in the model group(P?.002,P?.007,P?.001,P?.009,respectively).SP mRNA levels in the model group were lower than those in the control,domperidone,MXSLJZD,and HXSLJZD groups(P?.037 P?.016,P?.025,P?.002,respectively).Somatostatin mRNA levels in the model group were higher than those in the control and MXSLJZD groups(P紏.042,P紏.035).Conclusions:XSLJZD and domperidone drug serum effectively promote proliferative activity of gastric antrum SMCs in an FD model.The mechanism of this activity may be regulated by gastrointestinal hormones.

文摘Acupuncture is used extensively in China for the treatment of stroke and other neurological disorders. The National Institutes of Health recommends acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for stroke recovery. This study included patients with post-stroke detrusor overactivity who were treated in the Department of Neurology, Fourth Hospital of Harbin Medical University, China. Subjects received either electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture at points Baliao [including bilateral Shangliao （BL31）, bilateral Ciliao （BL32）, bilateral Zhongliao （BL33）, and bilateral Xialiao （BL34）] and Huiyang （BL35）. Our results showed that electroacupuncture significantly improved cystometric capacity and bladder compliance, decreased detrusor leak point pressure, ameliorated lower urinary tract symptoms, and decreased the risk of upper urinary tract damage. These findings indicate that electroacupuncture at points Bafiao and Huiyang is an effective treatment for post-stroke detrusor overactivity.

文摘The development of highly efficient catalyst is the key for photocatalytic technology to deal with water pollution and energy problems.In this work,the S-scheme polyaniline/Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S(PANI/CZS)nanocomposites were elaborately prepared for the first time by in-situ oxidation polymerization.Compared to pure PANI and Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S,this PANI/CZS hybrid displayed outstanding photocatalytic performance in removing tetracycline hydrochloride(TCH)and hydrogen evolution under light irradiation.Among them,15 PANI/CZS sample could achieve 84.9%TCH degradation efficiency within 25 min,and the degradation rate(0.06931 min−1)was 5.13 times than that of Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S(0.0135 min^(−1)).The optimal photocatalytic H_(2) evolution rate of 30 PANI/CZS sample was 15.57 mmol g^(-1) h^(-1),which was twice that of Cd_(0.5)Zn_(0.5)S(7.34 mmol g^(-1) h^(-1)).These results were mainly attributed to the efficient electronic transport channels provided by S-scheme heterojunction structure.The density functional theory(DFT)calculation proved that the difference of work function resulted in band bending and forming built-in electric field on the contact interface of PANI/CZS,which facilitated the migration and separation of interfacial photogener-ated charge carriers for the strengthened photocatalytic performance.Further,the degradation interme-diate products and pathways of TCH were also put forwarded in depth based on MS experiment.At last,the S-scheme electron transport model and the photocatalytic reaction mechanism in PANI/CZS hetero-junction structure were studied.This work provided an innovative vision in developing high-performance S-scheme heterojunction multifunctional photocatalysts.
文摘Anthocyanins are widely found in plants and are responsible for the purple coloration of plants. Anthocyanin biosynthesis is induced by environmental stresses, plant hormones, sugar, and so on. Tyrosine (Tyr) is the precursor of melanin that exits in both animals and plants. However, until now it has been unknown whether Tyr induces anthocyanin biosynthesis. In this study, the seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana were treated with exogenous Tyr and then the anthocyanin accumulation was determined. The results showed that Tyr induced anthocyanin accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the expression of the late anthocyanin biosynthetic genes including DFR, LDOX, and UF3GT, and the transcription factor genes PAP1, PAP2, and EGL3 was induced by Tyr. Taken together, these results demonstrated that Tyr is able to induce anthocyanin accumulation and suggested that Tyr up-regulates transcription factors PAP1, PAP2, and EGL3, which mediates the expression of the late anthocyanin biosynthetic genes and then induces anthocyanin biosynthesis.

文摘BACKGROUND Liuweiwuling Tablet(LWWL)is a Chinese patent medicine approved for the treatment of chronic inflammation caused by hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection.Previous studies have indicated an anti-HBV effect of LWWL,specifically in terms of antigen inhibition,but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.AIM To investigate the potential mechanism of action of LWWL against HBV.METHODS In vitro experiments utilized three HBV-replicating and three non-HBV-replicating cell lines.The in vivo experiment involved a hydrodynamic injectionmediated mouse model with HBV replication.Transcriptomics and metabolomics were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of action of LWWL.RESULTS In HepG2.1403F cells,LWWL(0.8 mg/mL)exhibited inhibitory effects on HBV DNA,hepatitis B surface antigen and pregenomic RNA(pgRNA)at rates of 51.36%,24.74%and 50.74%,respectively.The inhibition rates of LWWL(0.8mg/mL)on pgRNA/covalently closed circular DNA in HepG2.1403F,HepG2.2.15 and HepG2.A64 cells were 47.78%,39.51%and 46.74%,respectively.Integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics showed that the anti-HBV effect of LWWL was primarily linked to pathways related to apoptosis(PI3K-AKT,CASP8-CASP3 and P53 pathways).Apoptosis flow analysis revealed that the apoptosis rate in the LWWL-treated group was significantly higher than in the control group(CG)among HBV-replicating cell lines,including HepG2.2.15(2.92%±1.01%vs 6.68%±2.04%,P<0.05),HepG2.A64(4.89%±1.28%vs 8.52%±0.50%,P<0.05)and HepG2.1403F(3.76%±1.40%vs 7.57%±1.35%,P<0.05)(CG vs LWWL-treated group).However,there were no significant differences in apoptosis rates between the non-HBV-replicating HepG2 cells(5.04%±0.74%vs 5.51%±1.57%,P>0.05),L02 cells(5.49%±0.80%vs 5.48%±1.01%,P>0.05)and LX2 cells(6.29%±1.54%vs 6.29%±0.88%,P>0.05).TUNEL staining revealed a significantly higher apoptosis rate in the LWWL-treated group than in the CG in the HBVreplicating mouse model,while no noticeable difference in apoptosis rates between the two groups was observed in the non-HBV-replicating mouse model.CONCLUSION Preliminary results suggest that LWWL exerts a potent inhibitory effect on wild-type and drug-resistant HBV,potentially involving selective regulation of apoptosis.These findings offer novel insights into the anti-HBV activities of LWWL and present a novel mechanism for the development of anti-HBV medications.
