Isoflurane induces liver injury by modulating the expression of miR-125a-5p

BackgroundIsoflurane can cause hepatotoxicity, and microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of liver injury. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of miR-125a-5p on isoflurane-induced liver injury. Basic proceduresSprague-Dawley (SD) male rats and BRL-3A cells were exposed to isoflurane to construct animal and cell models. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels of rats were detected. RT-qPCR was performed for the measurement of miR-125a-5p levels. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were also detected. Main findingsAfter isoflurane treatment, serum ALT and AST levels of rats increased in a time-dependent manner, and the differences reached significant levels from 3 days after isoflurane treatment. MiR-125a-5p levels increased significantly in the liver tissues of isoflurane-treated rats. MiR-125a-5p downregulation significantly attenuated isoflurane-induced increasing trend of serum ALT and AST levels in rats. In BRL-3A cells, isoflurane treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis, which was reversed by miR-125a-5p downregulation. Principal conclusionsIsoflurane exposure significantly elevates the level of miR-125a-5p in the liver tissues of rats. Downregulation of miR-125a-5p may protect against isoflurane-induced liver injury through regulating liver cell proliferation and apoptosis. Dysregulation of miR-125a-5p might be a possible mechanism of isoflurane-induced liver injury.

A feasibility study on additive manufactured hybrid metal/composite shock absorbers

Commonly adopted shock absorbers and, in general, crashworthy structural components, based on sandwich structural concepts and/or complex dumping mechanisms, are, generally, characterized by high volumes and significant additional mass. This research activity is focused on the investigation of the feasibility and effectiveness of novel thin additive manufactured hybrid metal/composite lattice structures as lightweight shock absorbing devices for application to structural key components in impact events. These hybrid structures would represent a real step beyond the state of the art of shock absorbers being characterized by an additive manufactured metal lattice core, able to maximize the absorbed energy by plastic deformations and, at the same time, by a composite skin/cohesive coating, fully integrated with the internal metal lattice structure, able to lower the global weight and increase the stiffness and strength of the shock absorber. First, an extensive explicit numerical activity has been performed finalised to the assessment of the mechanical behaviour of basic lattice Unit Cells configurations under impact conditions in shock-absorbing panels. The variation of the geometrical characteristics of the lattice cells have been taken into account by adopting a parametric Python routine in ABAQUS with a simplified FEM formulation based on beam and shell elements.Once identified the key features maximizing the energy absorption capabilities of the metallic core, several complex models with 3d solid element formulation have been developed.A final comparison between the hybrid configurations and the state of the art shock absorbing panels, demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed lightweight hybrid configuration based on additive manufacturing techniques in terms of mass reduction, mechanical and energy absorption performances.

The outlines of paradigmatic foundations in municipal economics

Addressing specific aspects of municipalities’ functioning as basic cells of territorial organisation of production and living activities is a marked research trend. The paper consid ers the issues of genesis and development of theoretical and methodological preconditions for municipal economics growing into an independent branch of economics. The methodology of the research is the paradigmatic approach to the reconstruction of theoretical knowledge devel oped by Thomas Kuhn. The subject of the study is conceptual and empirical facts, factors and conditions, which favoured the formation of municipal economics. The methods include taxo nomic approach and instrumental analysis that allow describing and explaining the transfor mation of the essential characteristics of municipal economy as a chorological concept, which means it focuses on the uniqueness of each territory, targets endogenous development based on the active involvement of local assets and exploiting local potential with the attraction of external factors. The research proves that municipal economics is currently at the periphery of the hard core of regional economics and just starts to move out of the pre-paradigm period. Obtained theoretical, methodological, empirical results create a possibility to systematise scien tific findings in the field of municipal economics and identify directions for further research to thicken its paradigmatic foundations and turning into a mature discipline.

Determinations of Erythrocyte Sizes in Adult Pelophylax ridibundus (Amphibia: Anura: Ranidae) Inhabiting Industrial Area in Southern Bulgaria

In this study, basic erythrocyte sizes in P. ridibundus individuals inhabiting a polluted area (heavy metals, nitrates, nitrites, and ammonium) in southern Bulgaria were evaluated. The erythrocyte cells’ parameters, erythrocyte length (EL), erythrocyte width (EW), length/width ratio (EL/EW), and erythrocyte size (ES), and nuclear parameters, nucleus length (NL), nucleus width (NW), NL/NW ratio, nucleus size (NS) and NS/ES ratio were either measured or calculated. The data obtained were compared with the data from identical measurements made in frogs inhabiting a reference site. In this study, an authentic reduction was established, of the basic erythrocyte-metric cells (EL, EW, EL/EW ratio, and ES) and nuclear (NL, NW, NL/NW, and NS) parameters in P. ridibundus individuals that inhabit the polluted industrial area east of the city of Plovdiv. In those frogs’ blood, oval and spherical erythrocytes circulate. For the erythrocytes from frogs in the polluted site, a significant reduction was found in the nucleus/cytoplasm ratio. Those changes can be seen as adaptations enlarging the contact surface and the oxygen capacity of the erythrocytes in conditions of hypoxia. The results of our research once again emphasize the importance of hematological investigations and specifically of the blood cell morphology as reliable biomarkers in ecotoxicological research in the field.

Wide overlaps of the operating regions for the common bias voltages were confirmed.

The Pattern of Life of Spoken Communities: Ethnographic Studies of Communication on Student's Social Life

Students are a social community where the basic views and primary cells grow from the basic views and scientific disciplines in the academic world. Students have their own culture of social life in their main activities, which are seen as very functioning as the main pillar in the development of human resources and as a determinant of a nation's quality level. The research aims to determine the social interaction behavior of students in several faculties at Pattimura University. With a background of good student social interaction behavior in several faculties, a harmonious social relationship will be built between fellow students in the Pattimura University campus environment. This research is qualitative research, designed based on a constructive paradigm in which every speech and action community is not only interpreted from a particular perspective but needs to be understood holistically based on the cultural approach and characteristics of each region. This research is based on an interpretive paradigm that views the world and objects of human life from their experience and subjectivity and has different views from the positivistic paradigm. When the positivistic paradigm uses a basic premise with a short phrase, knowledge is un-problematic, the interpretive paradigm sees the opposite.&#x0D;

The simple grid polygon exploration problem

This paper considers an on-line exploration problem. We use a mobile robot to explore an unknown simple grid polygon. The robot is assumed to have limited sensing capability that can only detect the four basic cells adjacent to it. The robot’s task is to explore each cell and to return to the start. To explore a cell, the robot has to enter it. We ask for a short exploration tour, that is, minimizing the number of multiple-visit cells. The competitive ratio is used to measure the performance of our strategy. It is the ratio between the length of the on-line exploration path and the length of the shortest path achieved with full knowledge of the polygon. As our main result, we present a new on-line exploration strategy and prove that the robot’s path is at most 7/6 times longer than the shortest path. This matches the previously known lower bound.

Active Superconducting Electrically Small Antennas: Design Issues of Basic Cells

We discuss design issues and present Nb-based layout designs of two basic cells for broadband active electrically small antennas based on superconducting quantum arrays. The cells are the differential array circuit and bi-SQUID. The cell layouts realize parameter values answering results of the in-depth theoretical analysis performed earlier for attaining the high-linearity voltage response to magnetic signal. The layouts are to give reference approaches to the antenna circuit designs to be fabricated using niobium process.

Change Character of Conductivity in Metal–Insulator–Metal Thin Films

Herein, the possibility of changing the conductivity of thin‐film systems consisting of two metals separated by an insulator (metal–insulator–metal, MIM) is shown. The electrophysical properties are studied in three systems: Fe/MgO/Ni, Fe/MgO/Co, and Fe/MgO/Fe + C (Fe doped with carbon). The resulting inhomogeneity in thickness of the dielectric layer over the junction area promotes the appearance of local conduction regions. This makes it possible to change the type of conductivity from tunneling to semiconducting. As a result, a region with negative differential resistance is observed in I–V characteristics of MIM systems. The processes of electromigration during the alloying of one of the metal layers are considered. Presence of such processes is confirmed by the results of dynamic and static measurements of conductivity and corresponding assessments. Exposure of the sample in laboratory atmosphere at room temperature for several tens of days provides asymmetrical I–V characteristics. This indicates the rectifying properties of the contact—characteristic of the conductivity of the Schottky diode. The use of MIM systems with the described properties is considered promising for application in modern electronic devices as basic elements and memory cells.

Fabrication of bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic and effect of buffer layer on the basic solar cell parameters

The poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl):phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) organic material is important for BHJ organic solar cells. In this study PEDOT:PSS layer was coated on ITO using spin coater and thereon coated P3HT:PCBM (1:1) as fotoactive layer. Finally, Al contacts have been evaporated for electrical measurements and device structure completed. In other example, 2 nm LiF evaporated on P3HT:PCBM before metal. Electrical characterization of the devices performed with current density–voltage (J–V) measurement at room temperature and a solar simulator under an 100 mW/cm2 irradiation intensity. Basic solar cells parameters as short circuit current density (JSC), open circuit voltage (VOC), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the organic solar cells were determined with the measurement. Efficiency of organic solar cells increased 0.85% to 1.87% using LiF as buffer layer. Similary, LiF layer was increased other parameters of device and obtained more stabil the device.

Simple Small-Signal HEMT Model Suitable for GaN Stability Analysis and Technologies Benchmarking

This article deals with the extension of the small-signal model usage to GaN technologies benchmarking, and to the detection of internal oscillations occurring in highly optimized multi-finger GaN high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). The proposed small-signal model consists of only 14 circuit elements. Its simple semi-analytical extraction procedure is developed in Keysight ADS circuit simulator, letting instantaneous comparison between modelled and simulated small-signal parameters. The simplicity and the adaptability of the technique always ensures a physical model parameter extraction. The technique is demonstrated for various technology processes, layouts, dimensions, and for three commercially available GaN vendors. The extracted data and the number of circuit elements are used to benchmark GaN technologies in terms of bias dependency, efficiency, and static linearity. By coupling the small-signal model to the electromagnetic (EM) GaN HEMT layout simulation results in a powerful tool for detecting odd-mode and even-mode instabilities. The technique is proven for various GaN basic cells as well as for power bars. Even prior to structure fabrication, the tool can be used to analyze its stability behavior by exploring its layout.

Hybrid PWM Methods for Harmonic Reduction in Neutral Point Clamped Three-Level Inverter Drive for Pump Applications

Two hybrid PWM methods are proposed in this paper for a pump drive based on three-level Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC) inverter. The envisaged PWM methods are aimed at reducing output voltage harmonic distortion. While the first PWM method incorporates suitable voltage injection to the carrier signals, the second PWM method incorporates voltage injection to both carrier and the modulating signals for controlling the NPC drive. Detailed harmonic analysis is presented using Double Fourier Integral Approach (DFIA) for both the hybrid PWM methods by separately identifying their basic unit cells, their boundaries that demarcates different regions of inverter drive. Complete analytical expressions for dc, fundamental, carrier and side-band harmonic components present in the output voltage of the NPC drive are presented for both the hybrid PWM methods. The proposed PWM methods are simulated using Matlab/Simulink and are experimentally validated using an induction motor driven pump load, following V/f control. Superiority of the hybrid PWM methods in comparison to the existing PWM methods are demonstrated with vTHD , weighted THD (vWTHD ), iTHD , harmonic loss factor etc., supporting the envisaged PWM methods.

Multicell Reconfigurable Multi-Input Multi-Output Energy Router Architecture

This article presents a multicell reconfigurable multi-input multi-output (MR-MIMO) power conversion architecture for multiport applications such as multisource energy router, battery balancer, and photovoltaic optimizer. The MR-MIMO architecture couples a large number of modular dc–ac cells with a single magnetic core which processes multiway bidirectional power flow. The system voltage and current ratings can be linearly extended and reconfigured by connecting the dc–ac cells in series or parallel. The MR-MIMO architecture decouples the voltage rating and current rating of the basic cells, and offers much lower device stress than traditional wide-operation range multiport dc–dc converters. The key contributions of this article include: 1) a multicell reconfigurable 12-winding MIMO converter with high performance across a wide range; 2) a hybrid time-sharing and phase-shift control strategy; and 3) a systematic method of designing multiwinding PCB transformers. The MR-MIMO architecture allows one power converter being used for multiple purposes through software reconfiguration. The work presented in this article proved that it is possible to gain significantly design flexibility in a multicell reconfigurable architecture without sacrificing the efficiency or power density. A 500-W 4-port energy router with 12 modular cells and a 12-winding transformer has been built and tested to verify the effectiveness of the proposed MR-MIMO architecture. The energy router maintains over 95% efficiency across a wide range of input and output voltage options.

Quantifying the Influence of the Electrode Porous Structure on Lithium-Ion Battery Performance

The growing demand of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) on portable electronics, electric vehicles urgently requires higher energy density, longer cycling life, and better safety to satisfy the needs of environmental factors and economics. In order to have higher energy density, simply increasing the volume of the single electrodes of LIB results in poor capacity due to inefficient mass transport of Li ions through the irregular microstructure of the electrode. Since understanding the influence of geometrical properties electrodes is of considerable significance to battery performance, we investigate two basic cells: (i) an irregular microstructure intercalation host and (ii) a periodically aligned microchannel intercalation hosts. Our in-house developed simulation tool solves Nernst-Planck and electron conduction equations with proper interfacial reactions by considering experimentally verified ageing mechanism (2-layered SEI and lithium-plating) into account and compute the associated characteristic voltage vs. state of charge curves under various geometric and design parameters. The proposed model is parameterized and optimised for mass transport based on fresh cell and validated against experimental results available on the literature. We show that the nanostructured electrode design yields better battery performance because the uniformity of electrodes yields elimating the nonuniform intercalation and side reactions on active material electrode surface. This work presents a design concept for higher energy and power densities that are not limited to LIBs.*This work has been supported by The Warwick Research Development Fund, UK, through the Grant No. RDF19035.

An Overview on the Differential Interplay Among Neurons-Astrocytes-Microglia in CA1 and CA3 Hippocampus in Hypoxia/Ischemia.

Neurons have been long regarded as the basic functional cells of the brain, whereas astrocytes and microglia have been regarded only as elements of support. However, proper intercommunication among neurons–astrocytes–microglia is of fundamental importance for the functional organization of the brain. Perturbation in the regulation of brain energy metabolism not only in neurons but also in astrocytes and microglia may be one of the pathophysiological mechanisms of neurodegeneration, especially in hypoxia/ischemia. Glial activation has long been considered detrimental for survival of neurons, but recently it appears that glial responses to an insult are not equal but vary in different brain areas. In this review, we first take into consideration the modifications of the vascular unit of the glymphatic system and glial metabolism in hypoxic conditions. Using the method of triple-labeling fluorescent immunohistochemistry coupled with confocal microscopy (TIC), we recently studied the interplay among neurons, astrocytes, and microglia in chronic brain hypoperfusion. We evaluated the quantitative and morpho-functional alterations of the neuron–astrocyte–microglia triads comparing the hippocampal CA1 area, more vulnerable to ischemia, to the CA3 area, less vulnerable. In these contiguous and interconnected areas, in the same experimental hypoxic conditions, astrocytes and microglia show differential, finely regulated, region-specific reactivities. In both areas, astrocytes and microglia form triad clusters with apoptotic, degenerating neurons. In the neuron–astrocyte–microglia triads, the cell body of a damaged neuron is infiltrated and bisected by branches of astrocyte that create a microscar around it while a microglial cell phagocytoses the damaged neuron. These coordinated actions are consistent with the scavenging and protective activities of microglia. In hypoxia, the neuron–astrocyte–microglia triads are more numerous in CA3 than in CA1, further indicating their protective effects. These data, taken from contiguous and interconnected hippocampal areas, demonstrate that glial response to the same hypoxic insult is not equal but varies significantly. Understanding the differences of glial reactivity is of great interest to explain the differential susceptibility of hippocampal areas to hypoxia/ischemia. Further studies may evidence the differential reactivity of glia in different brain areas, explaining the higher or lower sensitivity of these areas to different insults and whether glia may represent a target for future therapeutic interventions.

Resin Capacity of Technical Woven Fabrics: Pore Volume and Pore Shape Simulation

Nowadays, technical woven fabrics are broadly utilized as reinforcement of composites. Resin capacity of woven fabric is one of the main challenges in laminate fabrication. Resin diffusion during fabrication of the composite is extremely depended on fabric micro-morphology. The geometry of weave unit cell and its pore are fundamental factors in evaluating resin capacity and resin diffusion within fabrics. The main attempt of this study was obtaining an approach to evaluate resin capacity of a woven fabric via simulating pore shape and pore volume. For this purpose, four basic unit cells for all kind of weaves were simulated with the two shapes of tow cross-section: lens and racetrack. Afterwards, 3D shape and volume of their pores were simulated using this approach. The proposed approach is established on the base of initial data of fabric such as tow setts, tow titers, planar density and thickness of a technical fabric. To assess the simulation, three types of woven fabrics namely, plain, twill and satin were impregnated by epoxy resin using vacuum infusion process. The volume fractions of the matrix and fibers of real composites were compared with simulated ones. It was demonstrated that the approach with racetrack assumption led to high degree of convergence with experimental results. The maximum relative error of pioneered method to evaluate volume of the pore in this condition exceeded up to 1.43 %. Suitable correlation between volume fractions of the pore and void was observed in experimental data. It is experimentally demonstrated that the void volume fraction of composite will be increased with decrease of pore volume due to difficulty of wetting. In this paper, it is illustrated that the resin capacity of a woven fabric is a function of vacuum level in vacuum infusion process. For instance, resin capacity of a certain plain fabric could be reduced up to 10 % under 60 kPa (0.6 bar) of vacuum in contrast with steady state of fabric at room atmosphere.

Automated top-down pruning optimization approach in RF power amplifier designs

This study presents an automated high-accuracy optimization approach for designing high-performance radio frequency high power amplifiers (HPAs). The amplifier is designed by applying a top-down pruning optimization approach that automatically converts the given HPA with lumped elements (LEs) to the HPA with distributed elements (DEs). Firstly, the lumped element HPA is designed based on a bottom-up optimization presented in Kouhalvandi et al. (2019 11th international conference on electrical and electronics engineering (ELECO), pp 510–513, 2019, 10.23919/ELECO47770.2019.8990407), then the LE amplifier is decomposed into basic unit cells that consist of one capacitor (C) and one inductor (L). For each LC unit, a suitable transmission line cell network is selected from predefined models by considering the maximum a posterior (MAP) metric. The component values of the resulting HPA design with DEs are optimized using Bayesian Optimization to achieve the desired design specifications. The overall proposed automated optimization accelerates the design process and outperforms the amplifier’s specifications that is constructed with DEs, automatically. The optimization starts with LE amplifier designs for keeping high linear gain performance and is converted to the HPA with transmission lines for having ready to fabricate circuit design. The proposed approach is validated by designing three HPAs with GaN HEMT from 1.8 to 2.2 GHz operational band frequency with drain efficiency more than 50% and with minimum linear power gain of 14.5 dB in all band frequency.

Lattice of dominant weights of affine Kac–Moody algebras

The dual space of the Cartan subalgebra in a Kac–Moody algebra has a partial ordering defined by the rule that two elements are related if and only if their difference is a non-negative or non-positive integer linear combination of simple roots. In this paper, we study the subposet formed by dominant weights in affine Kac–Moody algebras. We give a more explicit description of the covering relations in this poset. We also study the structure of basic cells in this poset of dominant weights for untwisted affine Kac–Moody algebras of type A.

Cancer Stem Cell Characteristics by Network Analysis of Transcriptome Data Stemness Indices in Breast Carcinoma.

Objective Breast cancer (BC) affects women all over the world. This study aimed at screening out potential biomarkers through performing an in-depth analysis of data from the previous research and database. Design This study made full use of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from cancer genomic maps (TCGA) and screened key genes related to stemness by merging WGCNA with BC mRNAsi. Results The related mRNAsi data were downloaded, and the transcriptional levels of mRNAsi in cancers contrasted with normal samples. The results showed that there was a significantly higher mRNAsi expression in BC tissues (P=1.791e − 43). Seven modules were obtained following the investigation through cluster analysis. The turquoise module showed a relatively high positive correlation with mRNAsi at 0.79; this module was chosen as the most interesting and was used for subsequent analysis. By setting related cutoffs, 38 key genes were screened, and the coexpression of these genes was explored next. The results showed that the lowest correlation was between CDC20 and KIF11 (0.54), and the highest connection was between BUB1 and CKAP2L (0.86). Furthermore, ten hub genes with the most nodes were sorted using a histogram. Using other databases to explore the prognosis value of key genes, the results showed that lower expression of key genes was significantly connected with longer overall survival (OS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and relapse-free survival (RFS). The immune infiltration relationship between hub genes and six kinds of basic immune cells was investigated; it was revealed that partial ones were positively or negatively related. Conclusion This study is the first to show the important role of stemness-related genes in the prognosis of BC. However, future clinical trials are needed to confirm these results and promote the application of these key genes in prognosis evaluation.
