针对当前图像骨架提取存在毛刺现象和骨架冗余的问题,提出基于漫水填充的图像骨架提取方法。对目标图像预处理,得到阈值化二值图像,分割出前景和背景;构建掩模图像和轴线图,为后续运算过程提供数据来源和判断依据;通过遍历水平面灰度直方图,模拟漫水过程,收缩掩膜图像的前景轮廓,根据邻域连通分量变化,确定是否为骨架特征点,待轮廓收缩完毕,得到图像骨架。实验验证表明,该方法可以有效地提取图像骨架,毛刺现象和冗余结构明显减少,执行速度快。     

通过空间相似度设置阈值的Douglas-Peucker算法

线状地物的化简是地图综合的重要组成部分,Douglas-Peucker算法作为一种经典的化简线状地物的算法,化简时需要进行多次实验才能选取到合适的阈值,得到最终化简结果。为了避免选取阈值繁琐的过程,通过计算不同阈值下化简前后线状地物间的空间相似度,并将绝对阈值转换为相对阈值,利用曲线拟合的方法得到相对阈值和空间相似度之间的关系。基于两者之间的关系,在使用Douglas-Peucker算法化简线状地物时,即可通过空间相似度来选取合适的化简阈值,提高了化简的效率。

Defining G protein-coupled receptor peptide ligand expressomes and signalomes in human and mouse islets

Introduction

Islets synthesise and secrete numerous peptides, some of which are known to be important regulators of islet function and glucose homeostasis. In this study, we quantified mRNAs encoding all peptide ligands of islet G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in isolated human and mouse islets and carried out in vitro islet hormone secretion studies to provide functional confirmation for the species-specific role of peptide YY (PYY) in mouse islets.

Materials and methods

GPCR peptide ligand mRNAs in human and mouse islets were quantified by quantitative real-time PCR relative to the reference genes ACTB, GAPDH, PPIA, TBP and TFRC. The pathways connecting GPCR peptide ligands with their receptors were identified by manual searches in the PubMed, IUPHAR and Ingenuity databases. Distribution of PYY protein in mouse and human islets was determined by immunohistochemistry. Insulin, glucagon and somatostatin secretion from islets was measured by radioimmunoassay.

Results

We have quantified GPCR peptide ligand mRNA expression in human and mouse islets and created specific signalomes mapping the pathways by which islet peptide ligands regulate human and mouse GPCR signalling. We also identified species-specific islet expression of several GPCR ligands. In particular, PYY mRNA levels were ~ 40,000-fold higher in mouse than human islets, suggesting a more important role of locally secreted Pyy in mouse islets. This was confirmed by IHC and functional experiments measuring insulin, glucagon and somatostatin secretion.

Discussion

The detailed human and mouse islet GPCR peptide ligand atlases will allow accurate translation of mouse islet functional studies for the identification of GPCR/peptide signalling pathways relevant for human physiology, which may lead to novel treatment modalities of diabetes and metabolic disease.

     

Control of a key transition from prostrate to erect growth in rice domestication

The transition from the prostrate growth of ancestral wild rice (O. rufipogon Griff.) to the erect growth of Oryza sativa cultivars was one of the most critical events in rice domestication. This evolutionary step importantly improved plant architecture and increased grain yield. Here we find that prostrate growth of wild rice from Yuanjiang County in China is controlled by a semi-dominant gene, PROG1 (PROSTRATE GROWTH 1), on chromosome 7 that encodes a single Cys(2)-His(2) zinc-finger protein. prog1 variants identified in O. sativa disrupt the prog1 function and inactivate prog1 expression, leading to erect growth, greater grain number and higher grain yield in cultivated rice. Sequence comparison shows that 182 varieties of cultivated rice, including 87 indica and 95 japonica cultivars from 17 countries, carry identical mutations in the prog1 coding region that may have become fixed during rice domestication.
