The molecular mechanism of azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus: from bedside to bench and back
Xiaolei Wei,Yuanwei Zhang,Ling Lu 한국미생물학회 2015 The journal of microbiology Vol.53 No.2
The growing use of immunosuppressive therapies has resulted in a dramatic increased incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a common pathogen, and is also associated with a high mortality rate. Azoles are the primary guideline-recommended therapy agents for first-line treatment and prevention of IFIs. However, increased azole usage in medicinal and agricultural settings has caused azole-resistant isolates to repeatedly emerge in the environment, resulting in a significant threat to human health. In this review, we present and summarize current research on the resistance mechanisms of azoles in A. fumigatus as well as efficient susceptibility testing methods. Moreover, we analyze and discuss the putative clinical (bedside) indication of these findings from bench work.

Objective The etiology of schizophrenia is unknown and is associated with abnormal spontaneous brain activity. There are no consistent results regarding the change in spontaneous brain activity of people with schizophrenia. In this study, we determined the specific changes in the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation/fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF/fALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) in patients with drug-naïve first-episode schizophrenia (Dn-FES). Methods A comprehensive search of databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase was conducted to find articles on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging using ALFF/fALFF and ReHo in schizophrenia patients compared to healthy controls (HCs) and then, anatomical/activation likelihood estimation was performed. Results Eighteen eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis. Compared to the spontaneous brain activity of HCs, we found changes in spontaneous brain activity in Dn-FES based on these two methods, mainly including the frontal lobe, putamen, lateral globus pallidus, insula, cerebellum, and posterior cingulate cortex. Conclusion We found that widespread abnormalities of spontaneous brain activity occur in the early stages of the onset of schizophrenia and may provide a reference for the early intervention of schizophrenia

Aiming at improving the capture performance of inner vortex electrostatic cyclone (ESC), which is widely used in the field of flue gas purification, magnetic field is introduced to remove submicron particles. The theoretical and physical models of electromagnetic dust removal were established, and the dust-removal efficiency of submicron particles under different temperatures and magnetic fields was numerically simulated by FLUENT. The results show that a rise in temperature leads to a reduction in the grade efficiency of submicron particles of ESC, a decrease in the number of escaped particles at lower temperature, and the differences of the rising amplitude in overall efficiency corresponding to the traditional cyclone, which were 36.7%, 34.8%, 33.8%, and 31.9% at four temperatures. The contribution of temperature to the capture of submicron particles decreases continuously with the increasing temperature, but that of magnetic field progressively increases at this time. The magnetic field environment is conducive to the capture of submicron particles, the removal effect is more obvious with the increase of magnetic flux density, but the ascended ranges of magnetic field and temperature both decrease when it reaches 0.5 T. These results can provide a theoretical basis and a technical reference for the design of ESC.
Research of numerical simulation method on vertical stiffness of polycal wire rope isolator
Bo Cen,Xiaofeng Lu,Xiaolei Zhu 대한기계학회 2018 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.32 No.6
Wire rope isolator (WRI) is widely used in the power machinery and chemical equipment, and has a better dry friction damping and stiffness softening characteristics compared with other vibration isolators. The aim of this article is to create a simplified finite element model of polycal WRI and to avoid the use of overall model on the stiffness characteristic caused by the waste of time. The numerical simulation method used in this paper is to simplify the 1 + 6 +12 single strand into a single wire. The simplified WRI model subjects to the compression load by finite element analysis and obtained the vertical static stiffness characteristics which are consistent with the experimental results.

Background: Aerobic cellular respiration provides chemical energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to maintain multiple cellular functions. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) can deacetylate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α) to promote mitochondrial biosynthesis. Targeting energy metabolism is a potential strategy for the prevention and treatment of various diseases, such as cardiac and neurological disorders. Ginsenosides, one of the major bioactive constituents of Panax ginseng, have been extensively used due to their diverse beneficial effects on healthy subjects and patients with different diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of total ginsenosides (GS) on energy metabolism remain unclear. Methods: In this study, oxygen consumption rate, ATP production, mitochondrial biosynthesis, glucose metabolism, and SIRT1-PGC-1α pathways in untreated and GS-treated different cells, fly, and mouse models were investigated. Results: GS pretreatment enhanced mitochondrial respiration capacity and ATP production in aerobic respiration-dominated cardiomyocytes and neurons, and promoted tricarboxylic acid metabolism in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, GS clearly enhanced NAD<sup>+</sup>-dependent SIRT1 activation to increase mitochondrial biosynthesis in cardiomyocytes and neurons, which was completely abrogated by nicotinamide. Importantly, ginsenoside monomers, such as Rg1, Re, Rf, Rb1, Rc, Rh1, Rb2, and Rb3, were found to activate SIRT1 and promote energy metabolism. Conclusion: This study may provide new insights into the extensive application of ginseng for cardiac and neurological protection in healthy subjects and patients.

Fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a bottleneck problem limiting their application. In-situfouling control strategies have been continuously developed for decades, and can be mainlycategorized as biological and physicochemical approaches. However, the mechanisms and performanceof these methods as well as their application prospects have not been thoroughly discussed andcompared in a systematic manner. This study was aimed at providing a detailed review on the variousin-situ biological and physicochemical methods in terms of fouling control performance, foulingreduction mechanisms and practicability. This involves a comparison of the popular biological controlstrategies including quorum quenching (QQ)) and physicochemical approaches such as NaClObackflushing, hybrid electrochemical MBR and anti-biofouling membrane development, with theanalysis of their potential, existing issues and practicality in full-scale applications. Future work is alsorecommended for developing more sustainable and more widely applicable MBR fouling controlstrategies.
