文摘Alzheimer's disease is the primary cause of dementia and imposes a significant socioeconomic burden globally.Physical exercise,as an effective strategy for improving general health,has been largely reported for its effectiveness in slowing neurodegeneration and increasing brain functional plasticity,particularly in aging brains.However,the underlying mechanisms of exercise in cognitive aging remain largely unclear.Adiponectin,a cell-secreted protein hormone,has recently been found to regulate synaptic plasticity and mediate the antidepressant effects of physical exercise.Studies on the neuroprotective effects of adiponectin have revealed potential innovative treatments for Alzheimer's disease.Here,we reviewed the functions of adiponectin and its receptor in the brains of human and animal models of cognitive impairment.We summarized the role of adiponectin in Alzheimer's disease,focusing on its impact on energy metabolism,insulin resistance,and inflammation.We also discuss how exercise increases adiponectin secretion and its potential benefits for learning and memory.Finally,we highlight the latest research on chemical compounds that mimic exerciseenhanced secretion of adiponectin and its receptor in Alzheimer's disease.

文摘Aiming at the problem of potential information noise introduced during the generation of ghost feature maps in GhostNet,this paper proposes a novel lightweight neural network model called ResghostNet.This model constructs the Resghost Module by combining residual connections and Adaptive-SE Blocks,which enhances the quality of generated feature maps through direct propagation of original input information and selection of important channels before cheap operations.Specifically,ResghostNet introduces residual connections on the basis of the Ghost Module to optimize the information flow,and designs a weight self-attention mechanism combined with SE blocks to enhance feature expression capabilities in cheap operations.Experimental results on the ImageNet dataset show that,compared to GhostNet,ResghostNet achieves higher accuracy while reducing the number of parameters by 52%.Although the computational complexity increases,by optimizing the usage strategy of GPU cachememory,themodel’s inference speed becomes faster.The ResghostNet is optimized in terms of classification accuracy and the number of model parameters,and shows great potential in edge computing devices.

文摘The overgeneralization of fear is associated with psychiatric disorders and cognitive decline.Recent studies have shown that engram cells in the dorsal dentate gyrus are integrated into functionally heterogeneous ensembles that are involved in contextual fear memory generalization and discrimination.However,the intracellular signals that promote fear generalization remain to be fully elucidated.In this study,we labeled and manipulated the c-Fos+and Npas4+ensembles in the dorsal dentate gyrus that are activated by contextual fear conditioning using a robust activity marking system.The results showed that increasing the excitability of Fos-dependent robust activity marking by overexpressing NaChBac or decreasing the excitability of Npas4-dependent robust activity marking by overexpressing Kir2.1 promoted fear memory generalization.Furthermore,CRISPR-mediated downregulation of the autophagy-related Atg5 or Atg7 genes in dorsal dentate gyrus neurons inhibited activation of c-Fos,but not Npas4.Knockdown of Atg5 or Atg7 in the Fos-dependent robust activity marking or Npas4-dependent robust activity marking ensemble led to an increase in neuronal excitability and a decrease in spine density in both ensembles.However,Atg7 knockdown in the Fos-dependent robust activity marking ensemble promoted memory generalization,while knockdown of Atg5 or Atg7 in the Npas4-dependent robust activity marking ensemble increased anxiety levels.These results contribute to our understanding of how the varying plasticity of memory engrams is involved in regulating fear memory generalization and anxiety.

文摘This paper investigates the challenges of structural inconsistency,matching accuracy degradation,and trajectory interruptions caused by high-speed motion,frequent occlusions,and appearance variations of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) targets in low-altitude airspace.A novel UAV visual tracking method is proposed for dynamic structural distortions,with a focus on structural consistency modeling to improve system robustness in complex scenarios.Unlike prior methods such as STARK,which rely on spatio-temporal prediction,and KeepTrack,which emphasize template maintenance,our approach enforces structural-level consistency between historical and current features,thereby addressing UAV-specific issues of rapid maneuvering and environmental complexity.The proposed framework features a structure-aware architecture that incorporates dual complementary mechanisms serving as spatial completion and temporal restoration components.First,a multi-scale structure extraction module with adaptive anchor scheduling is developed to dynamically perceive spatial target shape and generate high-quality proposals.Second,a structural memory module is designed to reconstruct local regions by leveraging high-confidence historical structural representations,thereby maintaining spatiotemporal coherence across frames.Furthermore,a structural verification mechanism coupled with a meta-learning-driven re-identification strategy is introduced to detect abrupt structural distortions and adaptively update templates,significantly improving resilience against disturbances.Overall,the main contributions of this paper can be summarized as follows:(1) introducing structural consistency modeling into UAV visual tracking for the first time;(2) designing a unified framework that combines adaptive proposal generation,full-image matching,and re-identification under structural constraints;and(3) achieving state-of-the-art performance on the anti-UAV benchmark,highlighting the method's practical value in real-world UAV surveillance applications.

文摘FeMnSi-based shape memory alloys(SMAs)have great applied potential to large-scale structures in civil engineering,especially as an aseismic structural material.Low-cycle fatigue performance is one of the most important properties of FeMnSi-based SMA aseismic materials.However,the low-cycle fatigue behavior of such SMAs,especially the stress-controlled low-cycle fatigue behavior(with ratchetting effect),has not been clearly understood.In this work,the low-cycle fatigue behavior of the FeMnSiCrNi SMAs subjected to stress-controlled cyclic tension–compression loads is investigated,and the effects of temperature,loading frequency,stress amplitude,and stress ratio are addressed.By analyzing the cyclic stress–strain response,fatigue fracture surface morphology,dissipation energy,ratchetting strain,and equivalent damping ratio,the mechanisms behind the temperature-,loading frequency-,stress amplitude-,and stress ratio-dependent low-cycle fatigue behavior are discussed.The results show that the plasticity,martensitic transformation,and/or the ratchetting strain caused by their tension–compression asymmetry are the decisive factors affecting the low-cycle fatigue behavior of FeMnSiCrNi SMAs.

文摘Accurate wind speed prediction is crucial for stabilizing power grids with high wind energy penetration.This study presents a novel machine learning model that integrates clustering,deep learning,and transfer learning to mitigate accuracy degradation in 24-h forecasting.Initially,an optimized DB-SCAN(Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise)algorithm clusters wind fields based on wind direction,probability density,and spectral features,enhancing physical interpretability and reducing training complexity.Subsequently,a ResNet(Residual Network)extracts multi-scale patterns from decomposed wind signals,while transfer learning adapts the backbone network across clusters,cutting training time by over 90%.Finally,a CBAM(Convolutional Block Attention Module)attention mechanism is employed to prioritize features for LSTM-based prediction.Tested on the 2015 Jena wind speed dataset,the model demonstrates superior accuracy and robustness compared to state-of-the-art baselines.Key innovations include:(a)Physics-informed clustering for interpretable wind regime classification;(b)Transfer learning with deep feature extraction,preserving accuracy while minimizing training time;and(c)On the 2016 Jena wind speed dataset,the model achieves MAPE(Mean Absolute Percentage Error)values of 16.82%and 18.02%for the Weibull-shaped and Gaussian-shaped wind speed clusters,respectively,demonstrating the model’s robust generalization capacity.This framework offers an efficient and effective solution for long-term wind forecasting.

文摘This study aimed to systematically regulate the performance of 4D printing composites by investigating the synergistic effects of dicumyl peroxide(DCP)and maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene(MAH-g-PE)on a poly(lactic acid)/thermoplastic polyurethane(PLA/TPU)matrix.Specifically,using a 70 wt%/30 wt%PLA/TPU matrix and an L_(9)(3^(2))orthogonal design,composites were evaluated via morphology,shape memory,mechanical tests,and multi-criteria analysis.Moderate DCP enhanced crosslinking,improving storage modulus and thermal stability,while excessive DCP caused brittleness.Furthermore,MAH-g-PE effectively improved interfacial compatibility,and its synergy with DCP was dosage-dependent.Consequently,Sample 5 achieved optimal performance,exhibiting uniform fracture morphology,a shape fixation rate of98.8%with the fastest recovery,and balanced strength-ductility.Multi-criteria analysis identified elongation at break and recovery time as the top contributing factors,with consistent rankings validated by Spearman analysis(ρ=0.833,p<0.01).In summary,adjusting DCP and MAH-g-PE contents effectively modulates the crosslinking structure and interfacial properties of PLA/TPU composites,providing a viable strategy for developing high-performance,tunable 4D printing materials.

文摘Recent studies have indicated that stroke can lead to neuronal iron overload and lipid peroxidation.Lycium barbarum glycopeptide,which has a low molecular weight and potent antioxidant properties,may mitigate ferroptosis in stroke.We hypothesized that Lycium barbarum glycopeptide can effectively mitigate iron overload within ischemic neurons due to its robust antioxidant properties.The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide on ferroptotic damage following brain ischemia and explore the underlying mechanisms.A rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was established using the intraluminal filament method,and the rats were treated with Lycium barbarum glycopeptide for 7 consecutive days,beginning 24 hours after ischemia.Liproxstatin-1,a ferroptosis inhibitor,and Erastin,a ferroptosis activator,were used as controls.We found that treatment with Lycium barbarum glycopeptide resulted in significant reductions in infarct volume(as detected by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining staining and magnetic resonance imaging)and neuronal death(as measured by Nissl staining),as well as improvements in sensory and motor functions in rats subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion.Furthermore,treatment with Lycium barbarum glycopeptide alleviated anxiety and depression-like behaviors and improved memory.Additionally,Lycium barbarum glycopeptide effectively reduced the iron ion content in the ischemic penumbra of the cortex.Moreover,treatment with Lycium barbarum glycopeptide downregulated the expression of ferroptotic and oxidant proteins such as transferrin receptor 1,divalent metal transporter 1,and Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 and upregulated the expression of anti-ferroptotic and antioxidant proteins such as ferroportin 1,solute carrier family 7 member 11,glutathione,and glutathione peroxidase 4.However,these beneficial effects were reversed when ferroptosis was induced with the activator Erastin.Therefore,the positive effects of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide in ischemic stroke are likely mediated through activation of the anti-ferroptotic pathway and the antioxidative System Xc-glutathione-glutathione peroxidase 4 pathway.Overall,our findings highlight the potential use of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide as a neuroprotective agent targeting both ferroptosis and oxidation to decrease ischemic brain damage.

文摘This paper presents an artificial intelligence(AI)-based observer that combines fuzzy logic and neural networks to detect abnormalities in sensors embedded in an electrolyser.Electrolysers are hydrogen production plants that require effective maintenance to guarantee suitable operation,prevent degradation,and avoid loss of efficiency.In this sense,predictive maintenance arises as one of the most advisable techniques for maintenance in electrolysers by using sensor data to predict potential abnormalities.However,if the sensor fails,there will be an incorrect forecasting of abnormalities.Among the different types of operational faults that sensors can present are drift-related faults,which are probably the most difficult to detect due to a slow but progressive loss of accuracy in measurements.Another problem with predictive maintenance is that it often requires enormous training data,which is not available at the early stage of plant operation.The developed fuzzy system is responsible for detecting faulty readings arising from drift sensor signals,while the neural network complements the function of the fuzzy system by predicting sensor signals when enough training data are available.The AI-based observer and the fuzzy rules are validated in an experimental case study with a 1 Nm^(3)/h electrolyser.The selected variables are electrolyser temperature and efficiency.Experimental results show that the rules of the fuzzy component of the AI-based observer guarantee an accuracy of±0.25 within the range of 0 to 1,and the neural network component predicted correct sensor values with a root mean square error(RMSE)as low as 0.0016.The authors’approach helps to determine drift faults without additional sensors or components installed in the plant.

文摘GABA_(A) receptors containingα5-subunits(GABA_(A)R-α5)cluster at both extrasynaptic and synaptic locations,interacting with the scaffold proteins radixin and gephyrin,respectively,and the re-localization of GABA_(A)R-α5 influences GABAergic transmission.Here,we found that when early spatial memory deficits occurred in aged mice at 24 h after sevoflurane anesthesia,there was a re-localization of GABA_(A)R-α5 that enhanced tonic inhibition and reduced the decay kinetics of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents in the hippocampal CA1 region.Mechanistically,increased phosphorylation of radixin at threonine 564(Thr564)mediates the re-localization of GABA_(A)R-α5.Acute treatment with the selective extrasynaptic GABA_(A)R-α5 antagonist S44819 restored the GABA_(A)R-α5-mediated inhibitory currents by reversing radixin phosphorylation-dependent GABA_(A)R-α5 re-localization,then improved the sevoflurane-induced spatial memory impairment in aged mice.Our results suggest that the localization of GABA_(A)R-α5 altered by sevoflurane is linked to unbalanced GABAergic transmission,which induces early memory impairment in aged mice.Modulating the GABA_(A)R-α5 localization might be a novel strategy to improve memory after sevoflurane exposure.
