Even though ghost imaging (GI), an unconventional method, has received increased attention by researchers during the last decades, speed is still not satisfactory. Once data-acquisition method and system parameters are determined, only processing potential to accelerate image-processing significantly. However, both basic correlation compressed sensing algorithm, which often used for imaging, have their own problems. To overcome these challenges, a novel deep learning proposed in this paper....

Leptin is a hormone produced in adipose cells that regulates energy expenditure, food intake, and adiposity. To understand leptin's transcriptional regulation, we are studying its promoter. Four conserved functional regions were identified. Mutations the C/EBP TATA motifs each caused an approximately 10-fold decrease promoter activity. The motif bound recombinant C/EBPα mediated trans-activation by C/EBPα, -β, -δ. Mutation of consensus Sp1 site reduced activity 2.5-fold abolished binding...

Abstract Background Health literacy measurement lays a solid foundation to identify associations with health outcomes and monitor population levels over time. In mainland China, most existing instruments are either knowledge-based or practice-based, making results incomparable between China other countries. This study aimed examine the reliability validity of 12-item Literacy Population Survey (HLS 19 -Q12) in general Chinese adults. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted recruit primary...

A quintessential challenge for any perceptual system is the need to focus on task-relevant information without being blindsided by unexpected, yet important information. The human visual incorporates several solutions this challenge, 1 of which a reflexive covert attention that rapidly responsive both physical salience and task-relevance new This article presents model simulates behavioral neural correlates as product brief attractor states are formed across hierarchy when engaged. Such...

The placental hormone leptin has important functions in fetal and neonatal growth, prevents depressed respiration leptin-deficient mice. effect of on respiratory distress suffered by low birth weight premature infants been studied. However, it is unclear how enhances lung maturity the fetus ameliorates distress. In present study, we found that antenatal treatment with for 2 d significantly enhanced relative alveolus area improved lungs a rat model growth restriction (FGR). Mean wet were...

Background The epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is abnormally accumulated with dysfunctional secretion adipokines, closely relating to cardiac dysfunction. current study was designed identify the effects EAT-derived leptin on myocardium MetS rats and explore potential molecular mechanisms. Methods Results A rat model established in 8-week-old Wistar by a 12-week high-fat diet. exhibited increased from EAT, hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction preserved systolic...

Substitution of two-dimensional (2D) extended conjugation is considered to be an effective strategy modify the optoelectronic properties molecules, but effects these fused 2D-expansion are not clearly understood. Here, phenanthrene and acenaphthene were applied in A-DAD-A systems study impacts different 2D-expansions. It was found that aggregation behaviors small molecules quite from those polymer acceptors. The reasons can explained by theoretical calculations with various configurations...

Two typical fullerene derivatives were incorporated into a PTB7-Th:IEICO-4F binary host to enable development of efficient quaternary polymer solar cells with PCE values up 12.52%.

The placental transcription factor glial cell missing 1 (GCM1) and its target gene syncytin-1 are involved in cAMP-stimulated trophoblastic fusion for syncytiotrophoblast formation. GCM1 DNA-binding activity is inhibited by sumoylation, whereas stability decreased deacetylation. cAMP enhances desumoylation through the Epac1/Rap1/CaMKI signaling cascade CaMKI known to down-regulate class IIa HDAC activity. In this paper, we study whether regulates HDACs. Interaction co-localization of HDAC5...

The mechanism responsible for myocardial remodeling in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is complex. This study was designed to investigate the role of telmisartan improving LVH and explore molecular mechanisms underlying effects on LVH. Hypertensive established eight-week-old male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats by abdominal aortic constriction. Telmisartan intragastrically administered six weeks after surgery. improved cardiac dysfunction fibrosis reduced...

We investigate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on protecting weight gain side rosiglitazone (RSG) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats and its possible mechanism central nervous system (CNS). Our study showed that RSG (5 mg/kg) significantly increased body food intake T2DM rats. After six-week treatment with combined EA, weight, intake, ratio IWAT to decreased significantly, whereas BAT markedly. HE staining indicated T2DM-RSG had size adipocytes their IWAT, but EA reduced...

The automatic arrhythmia classification system has made a significant contribution to reducing the mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases. Although current deep-learning-based models have achieved ideal effects in classification, their performance still needs be further improved due small scale dataset. In this paper, we propose novel self-supervised pre-training method called Segment Origin Prediction (SOP) improve model's performance. We design data reorganization module, which allows...

Resistance switching (RS) devices that are based on titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials have recently attracted substantial research interest because of their simple preparation technology and potential applications in the memory devices. In this paper, RS characteristics TiO2-based memristors were regulated by changing crystal structure TiO2 film. Resistive memory, consisting Ag/amorphous TiO2/Ti fabricated anodic oxidation, exhibited poor cycling stability. Annealing was applied to...

How to consider the cooperative and complementary capabilities of `generation-grid-load-storage' optimize scheduling virtual power plant clusters (VPPC) is an urgent problem need be solved improve operating economy clean energy consumption capacity distribution network under jurisdiction VPPC. This paper proposes optimal method VPPC considering generation-grid-load-storage coordination. Firstly, basic operation structure constructed. Various resource models within VPP are established....

ABSTRACT Background While the relationship between an individual’s personal health literacy and outcomes is well-established, role of environment often overlooked. This study aimed to examine associations school with among schoolteachers. Methods A cross-sectional was conducted in 11 schools Zhengzhou, Henan, China. Using a self-administered questionnaire, teachers (N=7364) were surveyed collecting data on their sociodemographics, literacy, environment, four types (health status,...

Excessive immune activation contributes to the onset of early dysfunction maternal-fetal interface, and it is closely linked development pre-eclampsia. However, effect specific cells on risk pre-eclampsia eclampsia remains controversial. We investigated causal relationship between eclampsia. For exposure, we extracted genetic variants associated with cell-related traits, for outcomes, used summary data pre-eclampsia/eclampsia. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was then...
