With the development of high-coverage sequencing technology, researchers have started to notice that genomic repeat regions, previously neglected in search of disease culprits, are active contributors to multiple neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we describe the association between repeat element variants and multiple degenerative diseases through genome-wide association studies and targeted sequencing. We discuss the identification of disease-relevant repeat element variants, further powered by the advancement of long-read sequencing technologies and their related tools, and summarize recent findings in the molecular mechanisms of repeat element variants in brain degeneration, such as those causing transcriptional silencing or RNA-mediated gain of toxic function. Furthermore, we describe how in silico predictions using innovative computational models, such as deep learning language models, could enhance and accelerate our understanding of the functional impact of repeat element variants. Finally, we discuss future directions to advance current findings for a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and the clinical applications of genomic repeat elements.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The feasibility and safety of radiofrequency ablation(RFA)for oligometastatic colorectal liver metastases(CRLM)have been well established.However,the role of RFA in multiple metastases after first-line chemotherapy failure remains underexplored.AIM To assess long-term survival and factors affecting outcomes of RFA in patients with multiple refractory CRLM.METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent ablation of CRLM at our institution between January 2015 and June 2024.A total of 80 patients were included,with 42 individuals receiving single-session ablation and 38 underwent repeat ablation.Enhanced computed tomography imaging was utilized to evaluate procedural efficacy 24 hours post-RFA,followed by follow-up scans every 3-4 months.Progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)rates were compared at endpoint using Kaplan-Meier curves.Cox regression was used to identify the factors associated with OS and PFS.RESULTS The technical success rate was recorded at 98.7%.At endpoint,42(52.5%)patients achieved tumor-free survival,while 28(35%)remained alive with residual tumors present.No significant OS/PFS differences existed between single-session(median follow-up 29.5 months,median PFS 24.5 months)and repeat ablation(30 months,14 months)cohorts(P>0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that larger tumor size(P<0.001)and older age(P=0.01)were associated with worse OS.The median PFS was 13.5 months,with tumor size emerging as the only independent predictor(P=0.04).CONCLUSION For patients with multiple refractory CRLM,both single-session ablation and repeat ablation can increase the proportion of patients achieving tumor-free status.However,careful consideration is necessary for ablation of metastases larger than 2.7 cm.
文摘With the advancement of electronic countermeasures,airborne synthetic aperture radar(SAR)systems are facing increasing challenges in maintaining effective performance in hostile environments.In particular,high-power interference can severely degrade SAR imaging and signal processing,often rendering target detection impossible.This highlights the urgent need for robust anti-interference solutions in both the signal processing and image processing domains.While current methods address interference across various domains,techniques such as waveform modification and spatial filtering typically increase the system costs and complexity.To overcome these limitations,we propose a novel approach that leverages the multi-domain characteristics of interference to efficiently suppress narrowband interference and repeater modulation interference.Specifically,narrowband interference is mitigated using notch filtering,a signal processing technique that effectively filters out unwanted frequencies,while repeater modulation interference is addressed through strong signal amplitude normalization,which enhances both the signal and image processing quality.These methods were validated through tests on real SAR data,demonstrating significant improvements in the imaging performance and system robustness.Our approach offers valuable insights for advancing anti-interference technologies in SAR systems and provides a cost-effective solution to enhance their resilience in complex electronic warfare environments.

文摘In repeated zero-sum games,instead of constantly playing an equilibrium strategy of the stage game,learning to exploit the opponent given historical interactions could typically obtain a higher utility.However,when playing against a fully adaptive opponent,one would have dificulty identifying the opponent's adaptive dynamics and further exploiting its potential weakness.In this paper,we study the problem of optimizing against the adaptive opponent who uses no-regret learning.No-regret learning is a classic and widely-used branch of adaptive learning algorithms.We propose a general framework for online modeling no-regret opponents and exploiting their weakness.With this framework,one could approximate the opponent's no-regret learning dynamics and then develop a response plan to obtain a significant profit based on the inferences of the opponent's strategies.We employ two system identification architectures,including the recurrent neural network(RNN)and the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model,and adopt an efficient greedy response plan within the framework.Theoretically,we prove the approximation capability of our RNN architecture at approximating specific no-regret dynamics.Empirically,we demonstrate that during interactions at a low level of non-stationarity,our architectures could approximate the dynamics with a low error,and the derived policies could exploit the no-regret opponent to obtain a decent utility.

文摘The nucleotide-binding domain,leucine-rich repeat,and pyrin domain-containing protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome is a critical modulator in inflammatory disease.Activation and mutation of NLRP3 can cause severe inflammation in diseases such as chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous and articular syndrome,Muckle-Wells syndrome,and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 1.To date,a great effort has been made to decode the underlying mechanisms of NLRP3 activation.The priming and activation of NLRP3 drive the maturation and release of active interleukin(IL)-18 and IL-1βto cause inflammation and pyroptosis,which can significantly trigger many diseases including inflammatory diseases,immune disorders,metabolic diseases,and neurodegenerative diseases.The investigation of NLRP3 as a therapeutic target for disease treatment is a hot topic in both preclinical studies and clinical trials.Developing potent NLRP3 inhibitors and downstream IL-1 inhibitors attracts wide-spectrum attention in both research and pharmaceutical fields.In this minireview,we first updated the molecular mechanisms involved in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and the associated downstream signaling pathways.We then reviewed the molecular and cellular pathways of NLRP3 in many diseases,including obesity,diabetes,and other metabolic diseases.In addition,we briefly reviewed the roles of NLRP3 in cancer growth and relative immune checkpoint therapy.Finally,clinical trials with treatments targeting NLRP3 and its downstream signaling pathways were summarized.

文摘Chloroplasts are essential for normal plant growth and development.In plants,pentatricopeptide repeat(PPR)proteins mediate RNA processing in chloroplasts.Here,we characterized a rice albino leaf 5(al5)mutant which exhibits albinism during early leaf development.The MutMap+analysis and transformation experiments revealed that AL5 encodes a chloroplast-localized P-type PPR protein.The AL5 mutation resulted in the defective splicing of ribosomal protein L2(rpl2)and ribosomal protein S12(rps12),which are involved in the synthesis of chloroplast 50S and 30S ribosomal subunits,respectively.The RNA-electrophoretic mobility shift assay(REMSA)further demonstrated that AL5 directly binds to rpl2 transcripts.Finally,disruption of AL5 led to reduced expression of plastid-encoded polymerase(PEP)-dependent plastid genes and nuclear-encoded photosynthetic genes.Notably,the albino al5 mutant phenotype was regulated by low temperature.These results suggest that AL5 participates in plastid RNA splicing and plays an important role in chloroplast development in rice.

文摘Nonperiodic interrupted sampling repeater jamming(ISRJ)against inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR)can obtain two-dimensional blanket jamming performance by joint fast and slow time domain interrupted modulation,which is obviously dif-ferent from the conventional multi-false-target deception jam-ming.In this paper,a suppression method against this kind of novel jamming is proposed based on inter-pulse energy function and compressed sensing theory.By utilizing the discontinuous property of the jamming in slow time domain,the unjammed pulse is separated using the intra-pulse energy function diffe-rence.Based on this,the two-dimensional orthogonal matching pursuit(2D-OMP)algorithm is proposed.Further,it is proposed to reconstruct the ISAR image with the obtained unjammed pulse sequence.The validity of the proposed method is demon-strated via the Yake-42 plane data simulations.

文摘AIM:To assess the repeatability,interocular correlation,and agreement of quantitative swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)optic nerve head(ONH)parameters in healthy subjects.METHODS:Thir ty-three healthy subjects were enrolled.The ONH of both eyes were imaged four times by a swept-source-OCTA using a 3 mm×3 mm scanning protocol.Images of the radial peripapillary capillary were analyzed by a customized Matlab program,and the vessel density,fractal dimension,and vessel diameter index were measured.The repeatability of the four scans was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC).The most well-centered optic disc from the four repeated scans was then selected for the interocular correlation and agreement analysis using the Pearson correlation coefficient,ICC and Bland-Altman plots.RESULTS:All swept-source-OCTA ONH parameters exhibited certain repeatability,with ICC>0.760 and coefficient of variation(CoV)≤7.301%.The obvious interocular correlation was observed for papillary vessel density(ICC=0.857),vessel diameter index(ICC=0.857)and fractal dimension(ICC=0.906),while circumpapillary vessel density exhibited moderate interocular correlation(ICC=0.687).Bland-Altman plots revealed an agreement range of-5.26%to 6.21%for circumpapillary vessel density.CONCLUSION:OCTA ONH parameters demonstrate good repeatability in healthy subjects.The interocular correlations of papillary vessel density,fractal dimension and vessel diameter index are high,but the correlation for circumpapillary vessel density is moderate.

文摘The insect mitogenome is typically a compact circular molecule with highly conserved gene contents.Nonetheless,mitogenome structural variations have been reported in specific taxa,and gene rearrangements,usually the tRNAs,occur in different lineages.Because synapomorphies of mitogenome organizations can provide information for phylogenetic inferences,comparative analyses of mitogenomes have been given increasing attention.However,most studies use a very few species to represent the whole genus,tribe,family,or even order,overlooking potential variations at lower taxonomic levels,which might lead to some incorrect inferences.To provide new insights into mitogenome organizations and their implications for phylogenetic inference,this study conducted comparative analyses for mitogenomes of three social bee tribes(Meliponini,Bombini,and Apini)based on the phylogenetic framework with denser taxonomic sampling at the species and population levels.Comparative analyses revealed that mitogenomes of Apini and Bombini are the typical type,while those of Meliponini show diverse variations in mitogenome sizes and organizations.Large inverted repeats(IRs)cause significant gene rearrangements of protein coding genes(PCGs)and rRNAs in Indo-Malay/Australian stingless bee species.Molecular evolution analyses showed that the lineage with IRs have lower dN/dS ratios for PCGs than lineages without IRs,indicating potential effects of IRs on the evolution of mitochondrial genes.The finding of IRs and different patterns of gene rearrangements suggested that Meliponini is a hotspot in mitogenome evolution.Unlike conserved PCGs and rRNAs whose rearrangements were found only in the mentioned lineages within Meliponini,tRNA rearrangements are common across all three tribes of social bees,and are significant even at the species level,indicating that comprehensive sampling is needed to fully understand the patterns of tRNA rearrangements,and their implications for phylogenetic inference.

文摘BACKGROUND Thrombocytopenia 2,an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by moderate thrombocytopenia,predisposition to myeloid malignancies and normal platelet size and function,can be caused by 5’-untranslated region(UTR)point mutations in ankyrin repeat domain containing 26(ANKRD26).Runt related transcription factor 1(RUNX1)and friend leukemia integration 1(FLI1)have been identified as negative regulators of ANKRD26.However,the positive regulators of ANKRD26 are still unknown.AIM To prove the positive regulatory effect of GATA binding protein 2(GATA2)on ANKRD26 transcription.METHODS Human induced pluripotent stem cells derived from bone marrow(hiPSC-BM)INTRODUCTION Ankyrin repeat domain containing protein 26(ANKRD26)acts as a regulator of adipogenesis and is involved in the regulation of feeding behavior[1-3].The ANKRD26 gene is located on chromosome 10 and shares regions of homology with the primate-specific gene family POTE.According to the Human Protein Atlas database,the ANKRD26 protein is localized to the Golgi apparatus and vesicles,and its expression can be detected in nearly all human tissues[4].Moreover,UniProt annotation revealed that ANKRD26 is localized in the centrosome and contains coiled-coil domains formed by spectrin helices and ankyrin repeats[5,6].The most common disease related to ANKRD26 is thrombocytopenia 2(THC2),which is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by lifelong mild-to-moderate thrombocytopenia and mild bleeding[7-9].Caused by the variants in the 5’-untranslated region(UTR)of ANKRD26,THC2 is defined by a decrease in the number of platelets in circulating blood and results in increased bleeding and decreased clotting ability[8,10].Due to the point mutations that occur in the 5’-UTR of ANKRD26,its negative transcription factors(TFs),Runt related transcription factor 1(RUNX1)and friend leukemia integration 1(FLI1),lose their repression effect[11].The persistent expression of ANKRD26 increases the activity of the mitogen activated protein kinase and extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 signaling pathways,which are potentially involved in the regulation of thrombopoietin-dependent signaling and further impair proplatelet formation by megakaryocytes(MKs)[11].However,the positive regulators of ANKRD26,which might be associated with THC2 pathology,are still unknown.
文摘CGG repeat expansions in LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1 have recently been identified as a cause of oculopharyngeal myopathy with leukoencephalopathy.However,since only three patients from a single family were reported,it remains unknown whether their clinicopathological features are typical for CGG repeat expansions in LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1.Here,using repeat-primed-polymerase chain reaction and long-read sequencing,we identify 12 individuals from 3 unrelated families with CGG repeat expansions in LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1,typically presenting with oculopharyngodistal myopathy.The CGG repeat expansions range from 161 to 669 repeat units.Most of the patients present with ptosis,restricted eye movements,dysphagia,dysarthria,and diffuse limb muscle weakness.Only one patient shows T2-weighted hyperintensity in the cerebellar white matter surrounding the deep cerebellar nuclei on brain magnetic resonance imaging.Muscle biopsies from three patients show a myopathic pattern and rimmed vacuoles.Analyses of muscle biopsies suggest that CGG repeat expansions in LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1 may deleteriously affect aggrephagic capacity,suggesting that RNA toxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to pathogenesis.Our study thus expands the phenotypic spectrum for the CGG repeat expansion of LOC642361/NUTM2B-AS1 and indicates that this genetic variant typically manifests as oculopharyngodistal myopathy with chronic myopathic changes with rimmed vacuoles and filamentous intranuclear inclusions in muscle fibers.
文摘Marine structures are frequently subjected to repeated impact loadings,resulting in failure of the structures,even causing serious accidents.The analytical expressions of dimensionless permanent deflection and impact force of a metal beam based on maximal normal yield surface are derived by membrane factor method(MFM),then the results are compared with repeated impact tests.It can be found that the solutions based on MFM are between the upper and lower bounds,and very close to the results of the repeated impact tests,indicating the theoretical model proposed can predict the plastic responses of the metal beam accurately.What’s more,the influences of impact location and boundary condition on the dynamic responses of the beam subjected to repeated impacts are determined.Results show that,as the distance of impact location from the middle span of the beam increases,the permanent deflection decreases,while the impact force increases.Meanwhile,the influences of impact location enhance as the impact number increases.When the permanent deflection is smaller than the thickness,the effect of boundary condition on the plastic responses is significant.However,when the deflection is larger than the thickness,the beam will be like a string and only axial force works,resulting in little influence of boundary condition on the plastic responses of the beam.

文摘Repeated blast impacts on personnel in explosive environments can exacerbate craniocerebral trauma.Most existing studies focus on the injury effects of a single blast,lacking in-depth analysis on the injury effects and cumulative effects of repeated blasts.Therefore,rats were used as the experimental samples to suffer from explosion blasts with different peak air overpressures(167 kPa~482 kPa)and varying number of repeated blasts.The cumulative effect of craniocerebral trauma was most pronounced for moderate repeated blast,showing approximately 95%increase of trauma severity with penta blast,and an approximately 85%increase of trauma severity with penta minor blast.The cumulative effect of craniocerebral trauma from severe,repeated blast has a smaller rate of change compared to the other two conditions.The severity of trauma from penta blast increased by approximately 69%compared to a single blast.Comprehensive physiological,pathological and biochemical analysis show that the degree of neurological trauma caused by repeated blasts is higher than that of single blasts,and the pathological trauma to brain tissue is more extensive and severe.The trauma degree remains unchanged after double blast,increases by one grade after triple or quadruple blast,and increases by two grades after penta blast.
