Rheum palmatum L; Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.), is referred to as 'Dahuang, Huangqi' in China. As an important medicinal plant, the rhizome of rhubarb and astragalus traditionally used treatment kidney diseases associated with renal failure, inflammation tumors.This study aimed investigate effect a drug-containing serum rhubarb-astragalus capsules (composed astragalus) elucidate its mechanism epithelial-mesenchymal transformation tubular epithelial cells.Epithelial-mesenchymal (EMT) HK-2...

Food is a critical factor of chronic inflammation. Few studies tried to quantize inflammatory effects food. Moreover, the discrepancies in among foods within same food group are frequently ignored.

Hardware techniques and environments underwent significant transformations in the field of information technology, represented by high-performance processors hardware accelerators characterized abundant heterogeneous parallelism, nonvolatile memory with hybrid storage hierarchies, RDMA-enabled high-speed network. Recent trends these areas deeply affect data management analysis applications. In this paper, we first introduce development trend new computation, storage, network dimensions....

To optimize the Byzantine fault tolerance of Raft algorithm, a fault-tolerant B-Raft algorithm combined with Schnorr signature mechanism is proposed. First, during leader election, followers are required to sign ballot prevent node from forging vote. Second, client message when sending tampering logs. combines and several modifications additions provide tolerance. The results experiments launched in Hyperledger Fabric show that compared safety greatly improved.

In order to overcome the problems of low input and poor effectiveness evaluation, this paper puts forward evaluation method distance learning input. This constructs a behaviour model under mixed teaching mode college English. We determine standard engagement as comparison indicators, collect information students in process English learning, specific indicators evaluation. Combined with weight index, value comprehensive index is calculated, final result obtained by comparing standard. The...

With the development of artificial intelligence and world automobile transportation, intelligent transportation technology represented by automatic driving has become an important technical field. Modern autonomous is usually based on various predictive models established data analysis, including but not limited to deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) recurrent (RNN). The operational safety efficiency these are key indicators measure excellence models, so how make play a more...

Cisplatin (CDDP) may induce apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTEC) and cause CDDP-induced acute kidney injury (CAKI) during cancer treatment, but yet lack preventive measures effective treatment. As a new Chinese herbal preparation, Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) has been found to mitigate CAKI through elevating the expression HIF-1α in rat model, according data from our previous works. However, underlying link between not well elucidated. The current study as follow-up work,...

Abstract Background Our previous study indicated that Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (EGb) could protect against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in rabbits. The present aimed to determine the effects and potential molecular mechanisms of EGb on chronic renal interstitial fibrosis induced by cisplatin using vivo vitro models. Methods Rats received a single dose Day 1, subset rats was intraperitoneally injected with daily between Days 22–40. In vitro, HK-2 cells were treated cisplatin,...

Denormalization is a common tactic for enhancing performance of data warehouses, though its side-effect quite obvious. Besides being confronted with update abnormality, denormalization has to consume additional storage space. As result, this rarely used in main memory databases, which regards space, i.e., RAM, as scarce resource. Nevertheless, our research reveals that database can benefit enormously from denormalization, it able remarkably simplify the query processing plans and reduce...

Many transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are activated or blocked by various compounds found in plants. TRPV1 (transient vanilloid 1) and ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) members of the TRP ion channel family which implicated as cough receptors. Several plant extracts used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for treatment cough. This report evaluated effect four such herbals their on Of tested, Pipaye (Folium Eriobotryae) extracts, especially 50% ethanol extract, showed highest activity suppression...

OLAP models can be categorized with two types: MOLAP (multidimensional OLAP) and ROLAP (relational OLAP). In particular, is efficient in multidimensional computing at the cost of cube maintenance, while reduces data storage size expensive join operations. this paper, we propose a novel Fusion model to fuse relational together make best aspects both worlds. This achieved by mapping relation tables into virtual binding operations set vector indexes enable on tables. The integrated...

Ginaton injection (Ginkgo biloba extract; GBE) has been reported to protect against cisplatin‑induced acute renal failure in rats. In the present study, effects and molecular mechanisms of GBE on interstitial fibrosis were evaluated using a rat model. The rats intraperitoneally injected with cisplatin once first day subset treated or SB203580 (SB; specific p38 MAPK inhibitor) daily from days 22 40. levels N‑acetyl‑β‑D‑Glucosaminidase (NAG) urine, urea nitrogen (BUN) creatinine (Scr) blood...

The requirements of OLAP applications increase rapidly by dramatically increased data volume, users, query volume and complexity. requirement for shortening update period in warehouse is another crucial factor a scalable application. In this paper, we propose prototype to support the processing with increasing distributing whole fact tuples multiple servers construct set sibling cubes which can be merged together obtain cube. We employ light weight distribution policy fully duplicated...
