Project description:This paper creates a bi-directional prediction model to predict the performance of carbon fiber and the productive parameters based on a support vector machine (SVM) and improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm (SVM-IPSO). In the SVM, it is crucial to select the parameters that have an important impact on the performance of prediction. The IPSO is proposed to optimize them, and then the SVM-IPSO model is applied to the bi-directional prediction of carbon fiber production. The predictive accuracy of SVM is mainly dependent on its parameters, and IPSO is thus exploited to seek the optimal parameters for SVM in order to improve its prediction capability. Inspired by a cell communication mechanism, we propose IPSO by incorporating information of the global best solution into the search strategy to improve exploitation, and we employ IPSO to establish the bi-directional prediction model: in the direction of the forward prediction, we consider productive parameters as input and property indexes as output; in the direction of the backward prediction, we consider property indexes as input and productive parameters as output, and in this case, the model becomes a scheme design for novel style carbon fibers. The results from a set of the experimental data show that the proposed model can outperform the radial basis function neural network (RNN), the basic particle swarm optimization (PSO) method and the hybrid approach of genetic algorithm and improved particle swarm optimization (GA-IPSO) method in most of the experiments. In other words, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the SVM-IPSO model in dealing with the problem of forecasting.

Project description:In the clinic, the pathological types of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are considered references for choosing treatment protocols. From a statistical viewpoint, a non-invasive method to predict pathological types of CKD is a focus of our work. In the current study, following a frequency analysis of the clinical indices of 588 CKD patients in the department of nephrology, a third-grade class-A hospital, a novel theory is proposed: "bi-directional cumulative probability dichotomy". Further, two models for the prediction and differential diagnosis of CKD pathological type are established. The former indicates an occurrence probability of the pathological types, and the latter indicates an occurrence of CKD pathological type according to logistic binary regression. To verify the models, data were collected from 135 patients, and the results showed that the highest accuracy rate on membranous nephropathy (MN-100%), followed by IgA nephropathy (IgAN-83.33%) and mild lesion type (MLN-73.53%), whereas lower prediction accuracy was observed for mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (0%) and focal segmental sclerosis type (21.74%). The models of bi-directional probability prediction and differential diagnosis indicate a good prediction value in MN, IgAN and MLN and may be considered alternative methods for the pathological discrimination of CKD patients who are unable to undergo renal biopsy.

Project description:Prime editors consisting of Cas9-nickase and reverse transcriptase enable targeted precise editing of small DNA pieces, including all 12 kinds of base substitutions, insertions and deletions, while without requiring double-strand breaks or donor templates. Current optimized prime editing strategy (PE3) uses two guide RNAs to guide the performance of prime editor. One guide RNA carrying both spacer and templating sequences (pegRNA) guides prime editor to produce ssDNA break and subsequent extension, and the other one produces a nick in the complementary strand. Here, we demonstrated that positioning the nick sgRNA nearby the templating sequences of the pegRNA facilitated targeted large fragment deletion and that engineering both guide RNAs to be pegRNAs to achieve bi-direction prime editing (Bi-PE) further increase the efficiency by up to 16 times and improved the accuracy of editing products by 60 times. In addition, we showed that Bi-PE strategy also increased the efficiency of simultaneous conversion of multiple bases but not single base conversion over PE3. In conclusion, Bi-PE strategy expanded the editing scope and improved the efficiency and the accuracy of prime editing system, which might have a wide range of potential applications.

Project description:Due to a wide range of applications, sand casting occupies an important position in modern casting practice. The main purpose of this study was to optimize the performance parameters of sand casting based on grey relational analysis and predict the missing data using back propagation (BP) neural network. First, the influence of human factors was eliminated by adopting the objective entropy weight method, which also saved manpower. The larger variation degree in the evaluation indicators, indicating that the evaluated projects had good discrimination in this regard, the larger weight should be given to these evaluation indicators. Second, the performance parameters of sand casting were optimized based on grey relational analysis, providing a reference for sand milling. The larger the grey relational degree, the closer the evaluated project was to the ideal project. Third, this paper provided a new method for determining the number of hidden neurons in a network according to the mean square error of training samples, and venting quality was predicted based on BP neural network. The relevant theory was deduced before predicting missing data, such that there will be a general understanding regarding the prediction principle of BP neural network. Fourth, to demonstrate the validity of BP neural network adopted in the process of missing data prediction, grey system theory was applied to compare the result of missing data prediction.

Project description:Circadian rhythms are daily physiological and behavioral changes governed by an internal molecular clock, and dysfunctions in circadian rhythms have long been associated with various neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal sleep-wake cycle often precedes the onset of cognitive and motor symptoms in patients, while the pathological changes may further exacerbate the disturbance in circadian cycle. It is unclear whether dysregulated circadian rhythm is a consequence of, or a contributing factor for, neurodegeneration. In addition, the evidence directly connecting the neurodegeneration-associated proteins to core circadian clock gene expression remains sparse. Here we show that FUS, a RNA-binding protein implicated in the pathogenesis of ALS and frontotemporal dementia, exhibits a bi-directional regulation with circadian rhythm. Our meta-analysis of RNAseq datasets and subsequent biochemical analysis revealed FUS as a gene regulated by circadian oscillation. Furthermore, NR1D1 binds the FUS promoter and regulates the amplitude of FUS oscillation. Meanwhile, FUS is recruited by transcriptional co-repressor PSF, and is found in the same complex as Bmal-Clock to repress Per2 expression. More strikingly, in cells and brain tissues from homozygous knock-in rats, the pathogenic R521C mutant FUS significantly alters the oscillation patterns of core circadian genes even at young age. Therefore, our results have revealed a novel bi-directional mechanism whereby dysregulated circadian clock and FUS expression may exacerbate neurodegeneration via mutual influence.

Project description:Modifiable hydrogels have revealed tremendous insight into how physical characteristics of cells’ 3D environment drive stem cell lineage specification. However, in native tissues, cells do not passively receive signals from their niche. Instead they actively probe and modify their pericellular space to suit their needs, yet the dynamics of cells’ reciprocal interactions with their pericellular matrix when encapsulated within hydrogels remains relatively unexplored. Here, we show that human bone marrow stromal cells (hMSC) encapsulated within hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels modify their pericellular environment through degradation and/or protein secretion, imparting them with similar pericellular stiffnesses, regardless of initial hydrogel properties. These cell-secreted pericellular matrices play a role in regulating hMSC fate, with secretion of a stiff proteinaceous pericellular matrix associated with adipogenesis, and degradation with osteogenesis. Our observations suggest that hMSC participate in a bi-directional interplay between the properties of their 3D milieu and their own secreted pericellular matrix, and that this combination of interactions drives fate.

Project description:BackgroundVariations in mental health may contribute to or impair healthy eating. The relation between eating and mental health is bi-directional: one’s mood or psychological state can affect what and how much one eats, and eating affects one’s mood and psychological well-being. Thus, if we want to promote and develop strategies to encourage healthy eating, it is important to understand the connections between mental health and healthy eating.MethodsTo contribute to this understanding, we examine the research on individual differences in how people respond to food, as well as mood, and emotional, social and collective influences on what and how much is eaten; we then examine the implications of these connections for mental health, with a focus on adolescents and adults. Looking at the relation between eating and mental health from the other direction, we review research investigating whether the amount that one eats or particular foods one ingests can make one feel good or bad about oneself.ConclusionsOvereating and undereating have complex effects, sometimes contributing to improved feelings of well-being and at other times leaving the individual feeling guilty, deprived, depressed and anxious. We attempt to identify both what we know and the gaps in our knowledge.Electronic Supplementary MaterialSupplementary material is available for this article at 10.1007/BF03405201 and is accessible for authorized users.

Project description:Advancements in sequencing technologies have empowered recent efforts to identify polymorphisms and mutations on a global scale. The large number of variations and mutations found in these projects requires high-throughput tools to identify those that are most likely to have an impact on function. Numerous computational tools exist for predicting which mutations are likely to be functional, but none that specifically attempt to identify mutations that result in hyperactivation or gain-of-function. Here we present a modified version of the SIFT (Sorting Intolerant from Tolerant) algorithm that utilizes protein sequence alignments with homologous sequences to identify functional mutations based on evolutionary fitness. We show that this bi-directional SIFT (B-SIFT) is capable of identifying experimentally verified activating mutants from multiple datasets. B-SIFT analysis of large-scale cancer genotyping data identified potential activating mutations, some of which we have provided detailed structural evidence to support. B-SIFT could prove to be a valuable tool for efforts in protein engineering as well as in identification of functional mutations in cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the causal relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoarthritis (OA) using Mendelian randomization (MR) design.MethodsTwo-sample bi-directional MR analyses were performed using summary-level information on OA traits from UK Biobank and arcOGEN. Sensitivity analyses including MR-Egger, simple median, weighted median, MR pleiotropy residual sum, and outlier approaches were utilized in conjunction with inverse variance weighting (IVW). Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) colocalization analyses were used to investigate the potential mechanism and shared genes between osteoporosis (OP) and OA.ResultsThe IVW method revealed that genetically predicted low femoral neck BMD was significantly linked with hip (β = 0.105, 95% CI: 0.023-0.188) and knee OA (β = 0.117, 95% CI: 0.049-0.184), but not with other site-specific OA. Genetically predicted low lumber spine BMD was significantly associated with OA at any sites (β = 0.048, 95% CI: 0.011-0.085), knee OA (β = 0.101, 95% CI: 0.045-0.156), and hip OA (β = 0.150, 95% CI: 0.077-0.224). Only hip OA was significantly linked with genetically predicted reduced total bone BMD (β = 0.092, 95% CI: 0.010-0.174). In the reverse MR analyses, no evidence for a causal effect of OA on BMD was found. GO enrichment analysis and eQTL analysis illustrated that DDN and SMAD-3 were the most prominent co-located genes.ConclusionsThese findings suggested that OP may be causally linked to an increased risk of OA, indicating that measures to raise BMD may be effective in preventing OA. More research is required to determine the underlying processes via which OP causes OA.
