Aristolochic acid (AA), extracted from Aristolochiaceae plants, plays an essential role in traditional herbal medicines and is used for different diseases. However, AA has been found to be nephrotoxic and is known to cause aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN). AA-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome in AAN with a high morbidity that manifests mitochondrial damage as a key part of its pathological progression. Melatonin primarily serves as a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. However, its mitochondrial protective role in AA-induced AKI is barely reported. In this study, mice were administrated 2.5 mg/kg AA to induce AKI. Melatonin reduced the increase in Upro and Scr and attenuated the necrosis and atrophy of renal proximal tubules in mice exposed to AA. Melatonin suppressed ROS generation, MDA levels and iNOS expression and increased SOD activities in vivo and in vitro. Intriguingly, the in vivo study revealed that melatonin decreased mitochondrial fragmentation in renal proximal tubular cells and increased ATP levels in kidney tissues in response to AA. In vitro, melatonin restored the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in NRK-52E and HK-2 cells and led to an elevation in ATP levels. Confocal immunofluorescence data showed that puncta containing Mito-tracker and GFP-LC3A/B were reduced, thereby impeding the mitophagy of tubular epithelial cells. Furthermore, melatonin decreased LC3A/B-II expression and increased p62 expression. The apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells induced by AA was decreased. Therefore, our findings revealed that melatonin could prevent AA-induced AKI by attenuating mitochondrial damage, which may provide a potential therapeutic method for renal AA toxicity.

Sun Jian,Peng Xiu-yan,Xu Ying,Wang Pei-Lei,Ma Na-ji 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Scienc Vol.8 No.6
In view of collaborative development environment web services supplier in ability, cost, time supplier relations and component relevance information under uncertainty problems. The fuzzy multi-objective task assignment model of web services are built in a collaborative development environment. Using α cut sets and extension principle to simplify the fuzzy multi-objective assignment mode, we get the solution of simplified assignment model via the Genetic and simulated-annealing algorithm. In view of the model solution sets are fuzzy and uncertain membership function, a new centroid defuzzification method is used for the model solution. Thus the optimization allocation of component supplier’s fuzzy task is realized in collaborative development environment. Finally, the simulation results verify the feasibility of the proposed method, which can ensure the suppliers’ tasking in successive software project in collaborative development environment.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of cancer-related death and cancer-related incidence worldwide. The potential of microRNA-21 (miR-21) as a biomarker for CRC detection has been studied in several studies. However, the results were inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted the present meta-analysis to systematically assess the diagnostic value of miR-21 for CRC. Materials and Methods: Using a random-effect model, the pooled sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated to evaluate the diagnostic performance of miR-21 for CRC. A summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve and an area under the curve (AUC) were also generated to assess the diagnosis accuracy of miR-21 for CRC. Q test and I2 statistics were used to assess between-study heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated by the Deeks' funnel plot asymmetry test. Results: A total of 986 CRC patients and 702 matched healthy controls from 8 studies were involved in the meta-analysis. The pooled results for SEN, SPE, PLR, NLR, DOR, and AUC were 57% (95%CI: 39%-74%), 87% (95%CI: 78%-93%), 4.4 (95%CI: 2.4-8.0), 0.49 (95%CI: 0.32-0.74), 9 (95%CI: 4-22), and 0.83 (95%CI: 0.79-0.86), respectively. Subgroup analyses further suggested that blood-based studies showed a better diagnostic accuracy compared with feces-based studies, indicating that blood may be a better matrix for miR-21 assay and CRC detection. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that miR-21 has a potential diagnostic value for CRC with a moderate level of overall diagnostic accuracy. Hence, it could be used as auxiliary means for the initial screening of CRC and avoid unnecessary colonoscopy, which is an invasive and expensive procedure.

Purpose: To compare tumor size by mammography and sonography and align with pathological results in primary breast cancer cases. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 95 primary breast cancer patients who underwent mammography and sonography from January 2011 to June 2012. The largest tumor diameter was chosen as sizing reference for each imaging modality. The measurements of mammography and sonography were considered concordant if they were within the measurement of pathological results ${\pm}0.5cm$. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated for imaging results. Results: The range of the maximum diameter was 0.6cm-10.5cm and mean value was $3.81{\pm}2.04cm$ by pathological results, 0.7cm-12.4 cm and $3.99{\pm}2.19cm$ by mammography, and 0.9cm-11.0cm and $3.63{\pm}2.01cm$ by sonography, respectively. Sonography (R: 0.754), underestimated tumor size, but had a better correlation with pathological tumor size compared to mammography (R: 0.676), which overestimated tumor size. Conclusions: Sonography is superior to mammography in assessment of primary breast cancer.
A New Method Combining QFD with Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets for Web Services Selection
Sun Jian,Peng Xiu-yan,Xu Ying,Wang Pei-Lei,Ma Na-ji 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Multimedia and Ubiquitous Vol.11 No.11
With the rapidly increasing number of Web services, the consumers have to choose suitable service from a wealth of web services according to the comprehensive factors. QoS is an important criteria to assess whether the consumer’s requirements are met by web service. But the QoS attributes offered by many web service suppliers are uncertain, especially the non-functional QoS attributes. In this paper, in view of the uncertain QoS attributes in the process of selecting web services, presents the method of selecting web service on basis of QFD-IFS (Quality Function Deployment- Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets). Describe the consumer’s requirements and QoS attributes with intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Construct the QFD model transforming requirements of consumer into QoS attributes, which gives comprehensive consideration to the relations between requirements of consumer and QoS attributes, and to the impact of the correlation between the QoS attributes on the weights of QoS attributes. After the modified intuitionistic fuzzy entropy is used to obtain the entropy weights of the QoS attributes and alternatives. In the end an example show that the proposed method is feasible and effective.

An invasive alien weed, Ageratina adenophora, has become widespread in the southwest of China due to its high environmental adaptation. In the present study, in order to understand the molecular aspects of resistance to heat and cold stress, we investigated the characterization and expression of heat shock protein genes (designated as Aahsp70 and Aahsp90) in A. adenophora. The cDNA of A. adenophora Aahsp70 and Aahsp90 was cloned by the combination of homology cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool analyses revealed that Aahsp70 and Aahsp90 shared high levels of identity with corresponding proteins from other species. Hybridization was employed to examine the expression patterns of Aahsp70 and Aahsp90. The relative expression levels of the Aahsp70 and Aahsp90 transcripts were both up-regulated and reached maximal levels at 2-4 h after heat shock. Then, Aahsp70 dropped progressively to the original level at ~4 h after heat shock. The transcriptional changes of Aahsp70 and Aahsp90 both were more obvious under cold stress. Recombinant Aahsp70 and Aahsp90 improved the viability, in comparison with the control cultures, of Escherichia coli under stress conditions. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the cell lysates suggested that the protective effect in vivo was related to increased thermo-stability of the soluble cytosolic proteins. This study emphasizes that the relationship between, and regulation of, heat shock proteins might incorporate variable strengths to increase the adaptation of A. adenophora.

Coenurosis is an important zoonotic helminthic disease caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm Taenia multiceps. This parasite typically infects the brain of the intermediate hosts, including sheep, goat, cattle and even hu- mans. We report a case of T. multiceps infection in a yak confirmed by clinical symptoms, morphological characteristics, and molecular and phylogenetic analyses. The coenurus was thin-walled, whitish, and spherical in shape with a diameter of 10 cm. The parasite species was identified as T. multiceps by PCR amplification and sequencing of the 18S rRNA, cox1 and nad1 genes. Three gene sequences all showed high homology (all above 97%) with the reference sequences from different hosts. Moreover, phylogenetic reconstructions with the 3 published Taenia gene sequences confirmed that the Qinghai yak isolate was closely related to T. multiceps. Although there are advanced diagnosis and treatment meth- ods for coenurosis, early infection is difficult to diagnose. Importantly, the findings of yak infection case should not be ig- nored due to its zoonotic potential.
