2. De Winter electrocardiogram pattern due to type A aortic dissection: a case report

Author: Qing Zhang, Dong-dong Yang, Yi-fei Xu, Yuan-gang Qiu, and Zhuo-yi Zhang
Subjects: Aortic dissection, De Winter electrocardiogram pattern, Acute myocardial infarction, Case report, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Abstract Background De Winter electrocardiograph (ECG) pattern is an atypical presentation of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to severe stenosis of the left anterior descending (LAD). Complications of acute aortic dissection (AD) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with de Winter sign are relatively rare and physicians may easily miss the diagnosis of AD. We report a case of patient with acute chest pain and de Winter ECG pattern due to AD involving the left main coronary artery (LM), LAD and left circumflex artery (LCX). Case presentation A 57-year-old male patient was initially diagnosed with AMI and then the diagnosis of acute AD was supported by transthoracic echocardiograph (TTE). After two stents were implanted respectively into the proximal LM-LAD and LM-LCX, he recovered from cardiogenic shock. Two months later, the patient underwent the surgery of ascending aorta replacement. After the surgery, there was no obvious chest discomfort during follow-up. Conclusions When an ECG shows a “de Winter pattern”, we should also consider the possibility of AD which result in LAD occlusion. TTE is a useful tool in screening for AD. Further research is needed to prove that percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be a useful treatment strategy in the case of AD leading to severe LAD occlusion and unstable hemodynamics when there’s no condition to perform aortic replacement surgery immediately.

Subjects: diabetic bladder dysfunction, Suo Quan Wan, overactive bladder, myosin Va, SLC17A9, Therapeutics. Pharmacology, RM1-950
Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of Suo Quan Wan (SQW), a traditional Chinese herbal formula, on the overactive bladder (OAB) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mouse models, particularly on its function of mediating the gene and protein expression levels of myosin Va and SLC17A9.Materials and Methods: After 4 weeks high-fat diet (HFD) feeding, C57BL/6J mice were injected with streptozotocin (100 mg/kg) for four times. After 3 weeks, the diabetic mice were treated with SQW for another 3 weeks. Voided stain on paper assay, fasting blood glucose (FBG) test, and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were conducted. Urodynamic test, tension test [α,β-methylene ATP, electrical-field stimulation (EFS), KCl, and carbachol] and histomorphometry were also performed. Western blot analysis and qPCR assays were used to quantify the expression levels of myosin Va and SLC17A9.Results: The diabetic mice exhibited decreased weight but increased water intake, urine production, FBG, and OGTT. No significant changes were observed after 3 weeks SQW treatment. Urodynamic test indicated that the non-voiding contraction (NVC) frequency, maximum bladder capacity (MBC), residual volume (RV), and bladder compliance (BC) were remarkably increased in the diabetic mice, whereas the voided efficiency (VE) was decreased as a feature of overactivity. Compared with the model mice, SQW treatment significantly improved urodynamic urination with decreased NVC, MBC, RV, and BC, and increased VE. Histomorphometry results showed that the bladder wall of the diabetic mice thickened, and SQW effectively attenuated the pathological alterations. The contract responses of bladder strips to all stimulators were higher in the DSM strips of diabetic mice, whereas SQW treatment markedly decreased the contraction response for all stimuli. Moreover, the protein and gene expression levels of myosin Va and SLC17A9 were up-regulated in the bladders of diabetic mice, but SQW treatment restored such alterations.Conclusion: T2DM mice exhibited the early phase of diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) characterized by OAB and bladder dysfunction. SQW can improve the bladder storage and micturition of DBD mice by mediating the protein and gene expression levels of myosin Va and SLC17A9 in the bladder, instead of improving the blood glucose level.

Subjects: patchouli alcohol, Helicobacter pylori, gastritis, oxidative injury, inflammasome, gastric epithelial cell, Therapeutics. Pharmacology, RM1-950
Abstract: Patchouli alcohol (PA), a natural tricyclic sesquiterpene extracted from Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth. (Labiatae), has been found to exhibit anti-Helicobacter pylori and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of PA against H. pylori-induced gastritis in vitro and in vivo, and determined the underlying mechanism. In the in vivo experiment, a C57BL/6 mouse model of gastritis was established using H. pylori SS1, and treatments with standard triple therapy or 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg PA were performed for 2 weeks. Results indicated that PA effectively attenuated oxidative stress by decreasing contents of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malonyldialdehyde (MDA), and increasing levels of non-protein sulfhydryl (NP-SH), catalase and glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulphide (GSSG). Additionally, treatment with PA significantly attenuated the secretions of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), keratinocyte chemoattractant and interleukin 6 (IL-6). PA (20 mg/kg) significantly protected the gastric mucosa from H. pylori-induced damage. In the in vitro experiment, GES-1 cells were cocultured with H. pylori NCTC11637 at MOI = 100:1 and treated with different doses of PA (5, 10, and 20 μg/ml). Results indicated that PA not only significantly increased the cell viability and decreased cellular lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, but also markedly elevated the mitochondrial membrane potential and remarkably attenuated GES-1 cellular apoptosis, thereby protecting gastric epithelial cells against injuries caused by H. pylori. PA also inhibited the secretions of pro-inflammatory factors, such as monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6. Furthermore, after PA treatment, the combination of NACHT, LRR, and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) and cysteine-aspartic proteases 1 (CASPASE-1), the expression levels of NLRP3 inflammasome-related proteins, such as thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), pro-CASPASE-1, cle-CASPASE-1, and NLRP3 and genes (NLRP3 and CASPASE1) were significantly decreased as compared to the model group. In conclusion, treatment with PA for 2 weeks exhibited highly efficient protective effect against H. pylori-induced gastritis and related damages. The underlying mechanism might involve antioxidant activity, inhibition of pro-inflammatory factor and regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome function. PA exerted anti-H. pylori and anti-gastritis effects and thus had the potential to be a promising candidate for treatment of H. pylori-related diseases.

Abstract: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing disease without satisfactory treatments, in which intestinal inflammation and disrupted intestinal epithelial barrier are two main pathogeneses triggering UC. Berberrubine (BB) is deemed as one of the major active metabolite of berberine (BBR), a naturally-occurring isoquinoline alkaloid with appreciable anti-UC effect. This study aimed to comparatively investigate the therapeutic effects of BB and BBR on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse colitis model, and explore the potential underlying mechanism. Results revealed that BB (20 mg/kg) produced a comparable therapeutic effect as BBR (50 mg/kg) and positive control sulfasalazine (200 mg/kg) by significantly reducing the disease activity index (DAI) with prolonged colon length and increased bodyweight as compared with the DSS group. BB treatment was shown to significantly ameliorate the DSS-induced colonic pathological alternations and decreased histological scores. In addition, BB markedly attenuated colonic inflammation by alleviating inflammatory cell infiltration and inhibiting myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10) productions in DSS mice. Furthermore, BB treatment substantially upregulated the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins (zonula occludens-1, zonula occludens-2, claudin-1, occludin) and mRNA expression of mucins (mucin-1 and mucin-2), and decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. In summary, BB exerted similar effect to its analogue BBR and positive control in attenuating DSS-induced UC with much lower dosage and similar mechanism. The protective effect observed may be intimately associated with maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier and mitigating intestinal inflammation, which were mediated at least partially, via favorable modulation of TJ proteins and mucins and inhibition of inflammatory mediators productions in the colonic tissue. This is the first report to demonstrate that BB possesses pronounced anti-UC effect similar to BBR and sulfasalazine with much smaller dosage. BB might have the potential to be further developed into a promising therapeutic option in the treatment of UC.

Subjects: Medicine, Science
Abstract: In this paper, we evaluated the anti-Helicobacter pylori activity and the possible inhibitory effect on its associated urease by Palmatine (Pal) from Coptis chinensis, and explored the potential underlying mechanism. Results indicated that Pal exerted inhibitory effect on four tested H. pylori strains (ATCC 43504, NCTC 26695, SS1 and ICDC 111001) by the agar dilution test with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranging from 100 to 200 μg/mL under neutral environment (pH 7.4), and from 75 to 100 μg/mL under acidic conditions (pH 5.3), respectively. Pal was observed to significantly inhibit both H. pylori urease (HPU) and jack bean urease (JBU) in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50 values of 0.53 ± 0.01 mM and 0.03 ± 0.00 mM, respectively, as compared with acetohydroxamic acid, a well-known urease inhibitor (0.07 ± 0.01 mM for HPU and 0.02 ± 0.00 mM for JBU, respectively). Kinetic analyses showed that the type of urease inhibition by Pal was noncompetitive for both HPU and JBU. Higher effectiveness of thiol protectors against urease inhibition than the competitive Ni2+ binding inhibitors was observed, indicating the essential role of the active-site sulfhydryl group in the urease inhibition by Pal. DTT reactivation assay indicated that the inhibition on the two ureases was reversible, further supporting that sulfhydryl group should be obligatory for urease inhibition by Pal. Furthermore, molecular docking study indicated that Pal interacted with the important sulfhydryl groups and inhibited the active enzymatic conformation through N-H ∙ π interaction, but did not interact with the active site Ni2+. Taken together, Pal was an effective inhibitor of H. pylori and its urease targeting the sulfhydryl groups, representing a promising candidate as novel urease inhibitor. This investigation also gave additional scientific support to the use of C. chinensis to treat H. pylori-related gastrointestinal diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Pal might be a potentially beneficial therapy for gastritis and peptic ulcers induced by H. pylori infection and other urease-related diseases.

Abstract: Objective To construct a prognostic model of chronic heart failure (CHF) by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements by machine learning method. Methods Patients with CHF admitted to the Department of Cardiology of China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 1, 2018 to April 30, 2021 were included, and their demographic data, vital signs, co-morbidities, laboratory tests, echo-cardiographic indicators, TCM syndrome elements and treatment information were collected. The primary end point for this analysis was a model to predict cardiovascular death or hospitalization because of heart failure in one year follow-up. Least absolute shrinkage, selection operator(LASSO) regression and Cox multivariate analysis were used to screen independent risk factors that potentially affect the prognosis of CHF. A nomogram was used to establish a risk prediction model based on TCM syndrome elements. Results Totally 164 patients with an average age of (72.23±14.16) years old and 37.2% male were included in this study. The LASSO screened 9 factors from clinical variables, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, uric acid, N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), creatine kinase-myocardial band, myoglobin, Qi deficiency and Yin deficiency. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that Qi deficiency, hypertension, coronary heart disease, NT-proBNP and LVEF were associated with prognosis in patients with CHF. Conclusions Qi deficiency was an independent predictor of cardiovascular death or heart failure readmission in CHF patients within 1 year. The prognostic model of CHF with integrated Chinese and Western medicine has demonstrated a high accuracy.

Abstract: Systemic injury plays a central role in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Retrograde biliopancreatic duct infusion of sodium taurocholate (NaT) is commonly used to establish SAP animal models. To better characterize the systemic injury in this model, SAP was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by NaT administration (3.5 or 5%), followed by sacrifice at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h. Normal saline was used as a control in Sham-operated rats. The mortality rate, ascites volume, and serum and ascitic fluid amylase and lipase activities were assessed. Multiple organ dysfunction, including dysfunction of the pancreas, lung, ileum, liver, and kidney, was investigated using hematoxylin and eosin staining. The interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in the ascitic fluid, serum, and ileum tissues were evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Tight junction proteins, zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and occludin, in ileum tissues were studied using immunofluorescence. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine (CRE) and urea levels were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The results of the present study indicated that both 3.5 and 5% NaT could induce a stable elevation of pancreatitis indices, with histopathological injury of the pancreas, lungs and ileum (5% NaT). The ascitic fluid levels of IL-6 and IL-1β were increased in the 5% NaT group. ALT and AST levels increased temporarily and recovered in 72 h, without a significant increase in CRE and urea levels or apparent hepatic and renal pathological injury. In conclusion, rats with NaT-induced SAP have characteristics of necrotizing hemorrhagic pancreatitis with multiple organ injuries, including inflammatory lung injury, ischemic intestinal injury and slight liver and kidney injuries.

Abstract: During the pathogenesis of early pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary arterial adventitial fibroblast act as an initiator and mediator of inflammatory processes that predispose vessel walls to excessive vasoconstriction and pathogenic vascular remodeling. Emerging studies report that Yin Yang-1 (YY-1) plays important roles in inflammatory response and vascular injury. Our recent study finds that activation of CD40 ligand (CD40L)-CD40 signaling promotes pro-inflammatory phenotype of pulmonary adventitial fibroblasts. However, whether YY-1 is involved in CD40L-CD40 signaling-triggered inflammatory response in pulmonary adventitial fibroblasts and its underlying mechanism is still unclear. Here, we show that soluble CD40L (sCD40L) stimulation promotes YY-1 protein expression and suppresses anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin 10 (IL-10) expression in pulmonary adventitial fibroblasts, while YY-1 knockdown prevents sCD40L-mediated reduction of IL-10 expression via enhancing IL-10 gene transactivation. Further, we find that sCD40L stimulation significantly increases histone H3 tri-methylation at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) modification on IL-10 promoter in pulmonary adventitial fibroblasts, and YY-1 knockdown prevents the effect of sCD40L on IL-10 promoter by reducing the interaction with enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone methyltransferase, binding to IL-10 promoter. Moreover, we find that sCD40L stimulation promotes YY-1 protein, but not messenger RNA (mRNA) expression, via decreasing N6-methyladenosine methylation on YY-1 mRNA to suppress YTHDF2-medicated mRNA decay. Overall, this in-depth study shows that the activation of CD40L-CD40 signaling upregulates YY-1 protein expression in pulmonary adventitial fibroblasts, which results in increasing YY-1 and EZH2 binding to the IL-10 promoter region to enhance H3K27me3 modification, eventually leading to suppression of IL-10 transactivation. This study first uncovers the roles of YY-1 on CD40L-CD40 signaling-triggered inflammatory response in pulmonary adventitial fibroblasts.

Abstract: Objectives To detect whether early growth response 1 (EGR1) in peripheral blood leucocytes (PBLs) indicates temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA) lesions. Materials and methods Egr1 mRNA expression levels in PBLs were detected in eight malocclusion patients without temporomandibular disorder (TMD) signs and 16 malocclusion patients with clinical TMD signs with (eight) or without (eight) imaging signs of TMJ OA. Twelve 6-week-old rats were randomized to a control group and a unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC) group and were sampled at 4 weeks. The Egr1 mRNA expression levels in PBLs and protein expression levels in different orofacial tissues were measured. Results Patients with TMD signs with/without TMJ OA diagnosis showed lower Egr1 mRNA expression levels in PBLs than patients without TMD signs. The lower Egr1 mRNA expression was also found in the PBLs of UAC rats, which were induced to exhibit early histo-morphological signs of TMJ OA lesions. In subchondral bone of UAC rats, EGR1 protein expression was decreased, co-localization of EGR1 with osterix or dentin matrix protein-1 was identified, and the number of EGR1 and osterix double-positive cells was reduced (all p Conclusion Egr1 reduction in PBLs potentially indicates subchondral bone OA lesions at an early stage.

Abstract: Fluorogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics have recently been widely applied for studying biological events, and fluorogens with “smart” properties are especially desirable. Herein, we rationally designed and synthesized a biotinylated and reduction-activatable probe (Cys(StBu)-Lys(biotin)-Lys(TPE)-CBT (1)) with AIE properties for cancer-targeted imaging. The biotinylated probe 1 can be actively uptaken by the biotin receptor-overexpressing cancer cells, and then “smartly” self-assemble into nanoparticles inside cells and turn the fluorescence “On”. Employing this “smart” strategy, we successfully applied probe 1 for cancer-targeted imaging. We envision that this biotinylated intelligent probe 1 might be further developed for cancer-targeted imaging in routine clinical studies in the near future.

Each event is divided into three regions based on the azimuthal angle with respect to the highest-pT jet direction: In the leading jet direction ("Toward"), opposite to the leading jet ("Away"), and perpendicular to the leading jet ("Transverse"). In the Transverse region, the average charged particle density is found to be between 0.4 and 0.6 and the mean transverse momentum

18. A Hybrid Matrix Factorization Method with Isolation Forest for Recommendation System

Abstract: Matrix Factorization (MF), which is a traditional Collaborative Filtering (CF) technology, has been widely used in recommendation system. MF model relies on exiting user-item ratings, which maybe contains some noise because of intrusion attack, error of log system or mistake of artificial data. In order to detect these data noises and enhances the rating prediction accuracy, we propose a new method, a hybrid matrix factorization technique with Isolation Forest (IForest), which is shown to be highly effective in detecting anomalies with extremely high efficiency. IForest detects anomalies by builds an ensemble of iTrees for a given data set, then anomalies are those instances which have short average path lengths on the iTrees. Extensive experiment results on movieslens (1M) datasets show that our hybrid model outperforms other methods in effectively utilizing side information and achieves performance improvement.

Abstract: We report new STAR measurements of the single-spin asymmetries $A_L$ for $W^+$ and $W^-$ bosons produced in polarized proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 510 GeV as a function of the decay-positron and decay-electron pseudorapidity. The data were obtained in 2013 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 250 pb$^{-1}$. The results are combined with previous results obtained with 86 pb$^{-1}$. A comparison with theoretical expectations based on polarized lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering and prior polarized proton--proton data suggests a difference between the $\bar{u}$ and $\bar{d}$ quark helicity distributions for $0.05 < x < 0.25$. In addition, we report new results for the double-spin asymmetries $A_{LL}$ for $W^\pm$, as well as $A_L$ for $Z/\gamma^*$ production and subsequent decay into electron--positron pairs.

The yield of deuterons is found to be well described by the thermal model. The collision energy, centrality, and transverse momentum dependence of the coalescence parameter B2 are discussed. We find that the values of B2 for antideuterons are systematically lower than those for deuterons, indicating that the correlation volume of antibaryons is larger than that of baryons at sNN from 19.6 to 39 GeV. In addition, values of B2 are found to vary with collision energy and show a broad minimum around sNN=20-40 GeV, which might imply a change of the equation of state of the medium in these collisions.

Abstract: Global polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons has been measured to be of the order of a few tenths of a percent in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV, with no significant difference between $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$. These new results reveal the collision energy dependence of the global polarization together with the results previously observed at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 7.7 -- 62.4 GeV and indicate noticeable vorticity of the medium created in non-central heavy-ion collisions at the highest RHIC collision energy. The signal is in rough quantitative agreement with the theoretical predictions from a hydrodynamic model and from the AMPT (A Multi-Phase Transport) model. The polarization is larger in more peripheral collisions, and depends weakly on the hyperon's transverse momentum and pseudorapidity $\eta^H$ within $|\eta^H

Abstract: A rapid and validated UPLC-MS method was developed for investigating the absorbed components of Paederia scandens (Lour.) Merrill (P. scandensy) in rat plasma. The bioactive constituents in plasma samples from rats administrated orally with P. scandens extract were analyzed by Ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). Four prototype compounds were identified in rat serum as potential bioactive components of P. scandens by comparing their retention times and mass spectrometry data or by mass spectrometry analysis and retrieving the reference literatures. Glucuronidation after deglycosylation was the major metabolic pathway for the iridoid glycosides in P. scandens. These results showed that the methods had high sensitivity and resolution and were suitable for identifying the bioactive constituents in plasma after oral administration of P. scandens. providing helpful chemical information for further pharmacological and mechanistic researched on the P. scandens.

Abstract: Tongue diagnosis is one of the most important parts in “inspection diagnosis” of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Observing tongue shape can help to understand the changes in human body and thereby to estimate the illness. This paper presents a method of recognizing tongue shapes based on Convolution Neural Network. The proposed method enhances the features of tongue images with preprocessing to ensure the data suitable for tongue shape binary classification. In view of the special texture and outline of tongue, the whole tongue images of dot-sting tongue and fissured tongue is transformed by Gabor filter, and the tooth-marked are processed by boundary detection approach. CNN is adopted because it has achieved remarkable results in computer vision and pattern recognition, and the model training through neural network coincides with the Chinese medicine dialectics through experience. Based on commonly used Alex-net, network is optimized with batch normalization to improve efficiency. The experimental results indicate that the preprocessing methods increase the accuracy and decreases the time of training process of tongue shape classification, which proves that the method is effective for the recognition of different tongue shapes.

Abstract: Network high definition video applications such as video calls and videoconferences have been increasingly developed recent years. When congestions occur and network environment becomes unstable, the network applications have to deal with such issues like delay, packet loss and bandwidth constraints. In this paper, we describe a high definition H.264/AVC video transmission system with network adaptive function based on real-time transport protocol (RTP) and real-time transport control protocol (RTCP). The adaptive system is composed of three components: 1) transmission management (TM) which focuses on network state monitoring, bandwidth allocating and transmission rate control; 2) a feedback-based adaptive forward error correction (AFEC) scheme using Reed Solomon (RS) code; 3) adaptive video encoding (AVE) that adjusts the bitrate of video streaming according to the bandwidth constraint information offered by TM. In our paper, delay, packet loss and bandwidth constraints are generated by the network bottleneck and congestions. Hence, the main idea is to enhance the bitrate of video streaming adapt to the bandwidth constraints. In addition, we integrate AFEC with RTCP to feedback bandwidth status and make the adaptive video streaming more robust under packet loss environment. Here we call it interactive adaptive forward error correction (IAFEC). The test result shows IAFEC can be adaptive to strict bandwidth constraints and high packet loss rates.

Abstract: To investigate the effect of patchouli alcohol on inhibiting Helicobater pylori urease activity, and its effect on expression levels of related genes, and lay the foundation for further research on the effect of patchouli alcohol on H. pylori colonization and infection. H. pyloriwas cultured and identified by gram staining, rapid urease test (RUT) and PCR method. Then agar dilution method was used to detect the bacterial survival after 1 h intervention by different concentrations of patchouli alcoholin the acidic (pH 5.3) and neutral (pH 7.0) conditions; berthelot method was used to detect urease activity and RT-qPCR method was used to detect the expression changes of ureA, ureB, ureE, ureH, ureI, and nixA related urease genes. The results showed that the survival rate of H. pyloriwas not significantly changed but the urease activity was obviously decreased after intervention by different concentrations of patchouli alcohol; meanwhile, the expression levels of ureA, ureB, ureE, ureH, ureI, and nixA were decreased to different degrees. Therefore, patchouli alcohol could inhibit H. pylori urease activity in both acidic and neutral conditions, and the mechanism may be related to down-regulation of urease gene expression.

Abstract: The zero degree calorimeter (ZDC) at RHIC-STAR was installed in the year 2000. After running for more than 10 years, the performance of the STAR-ZDC cannot maintain a proper status because of the radiation damage. The ZDC on RHIC-BRAHMS had been moved to STAR in 2011 after some tests. We present here the result of the tests as well as the physical performance of those ZDC modules between the 2011 and 2015 RHIC runs. The excellent energy resolution of the ZDC in heavy ion collision provides a good candidate for future detector development, such as the CSR experiment at CAS-Lanzhou facility.

This study is performed in d+Au, Cu+Cu, and Au+Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The near-side di-hadron correlation contains two structures, a peak which is narrow in azimuth and pseudorapidity consistent with correlations from jet fragmentation, and a correlation in azimuth which is broad in pseudorapidity. The particle composition of the jet-like correlation is determined using identified associated particles. The dependence of the conditional yield of the jet-like correlation on the trigger particle momentum, associated particle momentum, and centrality for correlations with unidentified trigger particles are presented. The neutral strange particle composition in jet-like correlations with unidentified charged particle triggers is not well described by PYTHIA. However, the yield of unidentified particles in jet-like correlations with neutral strange particle triggers is described reasonably well by the same model.

30. Low-mass vector meson production at forward rapidity in p+p and d+Au collisions at $$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$$ s NN = 200 GeV from a multiphase transport model

Abstract: Low-mass vector meson ( $$\rho , \omega $$ , and $$\phi $$ ) production at forward rapidity in p+p and d+Au collisions at $$\sqrt{s_{{\rm NN}}}$$ = 200 GeV is studied within the framework of a multiphase transport model (AMPT). Detailed investigations, including the transverse momentum and the rapidity dependence of low-mass vector meson production in the AMPT model, show that the hadron interaction process is important for a quantitative description of the $$\rho $$ and $$\omega $$ data. But for the $$\phi $$ meson, the strange quark production in the AMPT model with the string melting scenario describes the data reasonably well, while the default AMPT model under-predicts the data. The $${\rm N}(\phi )/{\rm N} (\rho + \omega )$$ ratio from the AMPT model with the string melting scenario perfectly describes the data in p+p collisions. For the d+Au collisions, an increased trend of this ratio vs. transverse momentum and the number of participants are observed from the AMPT model. Our results indicate that a precise measurement of the $${\rm N}(\phi )/ {\rm N} (\rho + \omega )$$ ratio in d+Au and Au+Au collisions will shed more light on the strangeness production and its dynamics in quark–gluon plasma.

For blank controls, 12 young rats were marked, and 48 aging female rats were randomly divided into four groups as follows: Model, SQW high, SQW middle and SQW low. Following oral administration of SQW for 6 weeks in aging rats, urodynamic and bladder detrusor tests were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of SQW. The expression of β3-AR mRNA was investigated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Using ISO and BRL37344A in vitro, maximum relaxation (Emax), intrinsic activity (IA), and log (50% effective concentration) (PD2) were significantly decreased in aging rats compared with that in young rats (P

Abstract: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing disease without satisfactory treatments, in which intestinal inflammation and disrupted intestinal epithelial barrier are two main pathogeneses triggering UC. Berberrubine (BB) is deemed as one of the major active metabolite of berberine (BBR), a naturally-occurring isoquinoline alkaloid with appreciable anti-UC effect. This study aimed to comparatively investigate the therapeutic effects of BB and BBR on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse colitis model, and explore the potential underlying mechanism. Results revealed that BB (20 mg/kg) produced a comparable therapeutic effect as BBR (50 mg/kg) and positive control sulfasalazine (200 mg/kg) by significantly reducing the disease activity index (DAI) with prolonged colon length and increased bodyweight as compared with the DSS group. BB treatment was shown to significantly ameliorate the DSS-induced colonic pathological alternations and decreased histological scores. In addition, BB markedly attenuated colonic inflammation by alleviating inflammatory cell infiltration and inhibiting myeloperoxidase (MPO) and cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10) productions in DSS mice. Furthermore, BB treatment substantially upregulated the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins (zonula occludens-1, zonula occludens-2, claudin-1, occludin) and mRNA expression of mucins (mucin-1 and mucin-2), and decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. In summary, BB exerted similar effect to its analogue BBR and positive control in attenuating DSS-induced UC with much lower dosage and similar mechanism. The protective effect observed may be intimately associated with maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier and mitigating intestinal inflammation, which were mediated at least partially, via favorable modulation of TJ proteins and mucins and inhibition of inflammatory mediators productions in the colonic tissue. This is the first report to demonstrate that BB possesses pronounced anti-UC effect similar to BBR and sulfasalazine with much smaller dosage. BB might have the potential to be further developed into a promising therapeutic option in the treatment of UC.

Abstract: We report on measurements of dielectron (e(+) e(-)) production in Au + Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon-nucleon pair using the STAR detector at BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Systematic measurements of the dielectron yield as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)) and collision centrality show an enhancement compared to a cocktail simulation of hadronic sources in the low invariant-mass region (M-ee < 1 GeV / c(2)). This enhancement cannot be reproduced by the rho-meson vacuum spectral function. In minimum-bias collisions, in the invariant-mass range of 0.30-0.76 GeV / c(2), integrated over the full pT acceptance, the enhancement factor is 1.76 +/- 0.06 (stat.) +/- 0.26 (sys.) +/- 0.29 (cocktail). The enhancement factor exhibits weak centrality and pT dependence in STAR's accessible kinematic regions, while the excess yield in this invariant-mass region as a function of the number of participating nucleons follows a power-law shape with a power of 1.44 +/- 0.10. Models that assume an in-medium broadening of the rho-meson spectral function consistently describe the observed excess in these measurements. Additionally, we report on measurements of omega-and phi-meson production through their e+ e(-) decay channel. These measurements show good agreement with Tsallis blast-wave model predictions, as well as, in the case of the phi meson, results through its K+ K- decay channel. In the intermediate invariant-mass region (1.1 < Mee < 3 GeV / c(2)), we investigate the spectral shapes from different collision centralities. Physics implications for possible in-medium modification of charmed hadron production and other physics sources are discussed.

Abstract: Ambient air samples were collected at two different locations between 2011 and 2012 in Zhengzhou, China in order to assess the concentration level, health risks, as well as the sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in particulate matter (PM2.5). The mean annual levels of PM2.5 observed at industry site and residential site were 172 ± 121 and 160 ± 72 μg m(-3), respectively, which were about five times the annual value of proposed PM2.5 standard (35 μg m(-3)) in China. The PM2.5 in all daily samples (n = 47) exceeds the proposed PM2.5 standard in China (75 μg m(-3)) at both industrial and residential sites. Seasonal variations of PM2.5 showed a clear trend of winter autumn spring summer at both sites. The total concentrations of 16 PM2.5-associated PAHs ranged from 61 ± 51 to 431 ± 281 and 38 ± 25 to 254 ± 189 ng m(-3), with mean value of 176 ± 233 and 111 ± 146 ng m(-3) at industry and residential sites, respectively. The major species were fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene and benzo[k]fluoranthene, and the concentration levels of PAHs in PM2.5 were higher in winter than those of other seasons at both sites. The annual mean values of toxicity equivalency concentrations of ∑16PAHs in PM2.5 were 22.8 and 13.5 ng m(-3) in industry and residential area, respectively. In this study, the risk level of adult citizens through inhalation exposure to PAHs was calculated. The average estimates of lifetime inhalation cancer risks were approximately 8.9 × 10(-7) and 6.3 × 10(-7) for industry and residential sites, respectively. The main sources of 16 PAHs from both diagnostic ratios and principle component analysis identified as vehicular emissions and coal combustion.

Abstract: Suo Quan Wan (SQW) has been used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in elderly patients for hundreds of years in China. β-adrenoceptors (β-ARs), particularly β3-adrenoceptor (β3-AR), was reported to be important in the bladder dysfunction of the elderly. The present study was conducted to explore the effect of β-AR, and particularly the β3-adrenoceptor, in aging rat bladder function in vitro and to test the therapeutic effect of SQW on LUTS in an aging rat model based on the β3-adrenoceptor. Briefly, the bladder detrusor muscles of young (age, 3 months) and aging (age, 15 months) female rats were separated. A β-AR non-selective agonist, isoprenaline (ISO), subtype β3-AR agonist (BRL37344A) and β3-AR antagonist (SR59230A) were used to define the tension change of detrusor muscles between young and aging rats in vitro. For blank controls, 12 young rats were marked, and 48 aging female rats were randomly divided into four groups as follows: Model, SQW high, SQW middle and SQW low. Following oral administration of SQW for 6 weeks in aging rats, urodynamic and bladder detrusor tests were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of SQW. The expression of β3-AR mRNA was investigated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Using ISO and BRL37344A in vitro, maximum relaxation (Emax), intrinsic activity (IA), and log (50% effective concentration) (PD2) were significantly decreased in aging rats compared with that in young rats (P<0.05). Significant changes were also observed in the β3-AR antagonist experiment, which blocked ISO-induced relaxation, with significant decreases observed in Emax, IA and PD2, and a significant increase observed in PA2 for the aging rats compared with the young controls (P<0.05). SQW was demonstrated to enhance bladder control, storage and contraction ability. Furthermore, SQW was able to increase the sensitivity and expression of β3-AR in an aging rat. In conclusion, the decrease in β3-AR sensitivity in aging rats and the expression resulted in bladder detrusor dysfunction. In addition, the therapeutic effect of SQW against LUTS relies on the former's effect on the urethral sphincter, bladder detrusor and β3-AR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
