Data centers, which implement cloud service, have been faced up with quick growth of energy consumption and low efficiency of energy. 60GHz wireless communication technology, as a new option to data centers, can provide feasible approach to alleviate the problems. Aiming at energy optimization in 60GHz wireless data centers (WDCs), we investigate virtualization technology to assign virtual resources to minimum number of servers, and turn off other servers or adjust them to the state of low power. By comprehensive analysis of wireless data centers, we model virtual network and physical network in WDCs firstly, and propose Virtual Resource Mapping Packing Algorithm (VRMPA) to solve energy management problems. According to VRMPA, we adopt packing algorithm and sort physical resource only once, which improves efficiency of virtual resource allocation. Simulation results show that, under the condition of guaranteeing network load, VPMPA algorithm can achieve better virtual request acceptance rate and higher utilization rate of energy consumption.

1970년대, 구조주의와 기호학을 기초로 구축된 영화 서사학은 전통 영화 서사 연구의 한계를 극복하여 영화의 일반 기교 요소에서 영화 서사의 체계적인 모델을 추구하여 텍스트 분석에 대한 기초를 제공하였으며, 프로프가 러시아 민담에서 총괄한 31가지 인물의 행동 기능 그리고 클라리스(Greimas)가 제시한“기호 행렬”의 서사 규칙은 영화 서사 분석의 중요한 이론 모델이 되었다. 영화 〈양들의 침묵〉은 할리우드 영화의 대표적인 한 작품이다. 해당 영화는 서스펜스를 통해 공포 분위기를 최대로 조성하였을 뿐만 아니라 선명한 성격과 생명력을 지닌 다수의 영화 인물 이미지를 조소하여 영화사에서 불멸의 명작이 되었다. 영화 〈양들의 침묵〉은 진정한 서술 패턴, 엄격한 서술 과정, 생생한 줄거리, 현실적인 환경을 동해서, 우원한 인물 이미지를 구성되었다. 전체 영화는 여주인공 에이전트 클라리스 M. 스탈링 중심으로 그녀의 시점을 통해 2개의 병렬 서술 구조를 구축한다. 본 논문은 영화 〈양들의 침묵〉에서 3개 인물의 성격 및 형성 원인을 분석했다. 동시에 인물의 겉과 심층 서사 기능을 분석했다. In the 1970s, film narratology which was based on structuralism and semiotics broke through the boundaries of traditional movie narrative research and it tries to find film’s narrative model from the general skill elements. 31 Behavioral Function of the Characters which was summed up by Propp from Russian folk fairy tales and Greimas"s semiotic matrix model become important theoretical models for movie narrative analysis. The Silence of the Lambs is a classic Hollywood film. The film uses suspense to push the atmosphere of terror to the extreme. At the same time also shaped a number of movie characters. These characters are vivid and full of vitality, and become classics and eternal in the history of film. The Silence of the Lamb constructs a narrative pattern with rigorous process, complicated plot, vivid environment, detailed characterization, which is undoubtedly a classic of real images. The whole movie is centered on female agent Claris, building two parallel narrative structures. From the perspective of character personality, this paper analyzes the three typical character and cause of the characters in the movie The silence of the lambs, From the perspective of narrative function, this paper analyzes the surface and deep narrative functions of each character.

Luo Juan,Bai Luyan,Tao Jun,Wen Yu,Li Mingke,Zhu Yunzhen,Luo Sufeng,Pu Guangyu,Ma Lanqing 한국유전학회 2021 Genes & Genomics Vol.43 No.10

Background Vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA) is an important virulence factor of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It was previously believed that VacA can trigger the cascade of apoptosis on mitochondria to lead to cell apoptosis. Recently, it was found that VacA can induce autophagy. However, the molecular mechanism by which VacA induces autophagy is largely unknown. Objective We aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of autophagy induced by H. pylori in gastric cancer cells and the efect of autophagy on the survival of gastric cancer cells. Methods The autophagy of human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 was detected by Western blot and RT-PCR in the treatment of VacA protein of H. pylori. The relationship between autophagy and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the proliferation of gastric cancer cells were studied by gene expression silences (siRNA) and CM-H2DCFDA (DCF) staining. Results The results showed that VacA protein secreted by H. pylori in the supernatant stimulated autophagy in SGC7901 cells. After VacA protein treatment, the mRNA expressions of BECN1, ATG7 and PIK3C3, were up-regulated. ATG7 silencing by siRNA inhibited VacA-induced autophagy. Furthermore, our data demonstrated that VacA protein increased ROS levels. Addition of the antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) suppressed the levels of ROS, leading to inhibition of autophagy. Conclusions H. pylori VacA is a key toxin that induces autophagy by increased ROS levels. And our fndings demonstrated that VacA signifcantly inhibited proliferation in SGC7901 cells.

Luo, Xia,Lamsal, Laxmi Pangeni,Xu, Wen-Juan,Lu, Jie,Lu, Yan-Jun,Shen, Ying,Guan, Qing Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.21

Background: Rs31489 in the cleft lip and palate transmembrane1-like gene (CLPTM1L) has been identified to be associated with lung cancer through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, some recent replication studies yielded inconclusive results. Thus, we undertook this study to investigate the precise effect of rs31489 on lung cancer susceptibility. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based case-control study in 1,673 Chinese subjects (611 individuals with lung cancer and 1,062 controls) and a meta-analysis among 32,199 subjects (16,364 cases and 15,835 controls) were performed in this study. Results: In our case-control study, rs31489 was inversely associated with lung cancer (AC versus CC: OR=0.68, 95%CI=0.52-0.88; additive model: OR=0.68, 95%CI=0.54-0.85; dominant model: OR=0.65, 95%CI =0.51-0.84). Stratification analysis by smoking status showed a significant association and strong genetic effect in non-smokers but not in smokers. Our meta-analysis further confirmed the association, although with significant heterogeneity contributed by study design and source of controls, as shown by stratified analysis. Sensitive and cumulative analyses both indicated robust stability of our results. In addition, there was no observable publication bias in our meta-analysis. Conclusions: Overall, the findings from our replication study and meta-analysis demonstrated that CLPTM1L gene rs31489 is significantly associated with lung cancer.

In order to solve the problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria caused by excessive use of antibiotics, herein, an antibacterial membrane composed of natural sodium alginate (ALG), zeolite imidazolate skeleton (ZIF-8) and niflumic acid (NIF) was reported. The membrane serves as a versatile platform for local antibacterial. This report carried out in-depth research on the physical properties and antibacterial mechanism of the synthesized sodium alginate composite film. The data shows that the sodium alginate-based antibacterial film has a continuous antibacterial effect, and the release of antibacterial molecules can be controlled according to changes in the external environment. The results show that the complex has stronger mechanical and bacteriostatic properties. Niflumic acid and Zn(II) have synergistic antibacterial effect. The complex promotes bacterial death by hindering bacterial respiratory metabolism and destroying cell membrane structure.

Background/Aims Antidepressants are effective in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). However, stigma associated with FD and antidepressants may affect treatment adherence. This study aims to explore possible communication strategies to alleviate stigma and improve adherence in patients with FD. Methods In this randomized, single-center, and single-blind trial, 160 patients with FD initiating antidepressant treatment were recruited. Different communication strategies were performed when prescribing antidepressants. Participants in Group 1 were told that brain is the “headquarters” of gut, and that antidepressants could act as neuromodulators to relieve symptoms of FD through regulating the functions of gut and brain. Participants in Group 2 were told that antidepressants were empirically effective for FD. Stigma scores, medication-related stigma, treatment compliance, and efficacy were analyzed. Results After 8-week antidepressant treatment, the proportion of patients with FD with decreased stigma scores in Group 1 was significantly higher than in Group 2 (internalized stigma: 64.10% vs 12.00%; perceived stigma: 55.13% vs 13.33%; P < 0.01). Medication-related stigma was lower in Group 1 than in Group 2 (P < 0.05 for 3 of 4 questions). Concurrently, patients in Group 1 had better treatment compliance (0.71 ± 0.25 vs 0.60 ± 0.25, P < 0.01) and efficacy. In Group 1, participants with decreased post-treatment stigma scores showed better treatment compliance and efficacy than those with non-decreased scores. Decrease in stigma scores positively correlated with treatment compliance. Conclusion Improving knowledge of patients with FD of the disease and antidepressants via proper communication may be an effective way to alleviate stigma and promote adherence.
