Temperature modeling and control of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell based on adaptive neural fuzzy technology

Aiming at on-line controlling of Direct Methanol Fuel Cell （DMFC） stack, an adaptive neural fuzzy inference technology is adopted in the modeling and control of DMFC temperature system. In the modeling process, an Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System （ANFIS） identification model of DMFC stack temperature is developed based on the input-output sampled data, which can avoid the internal complexity of DMFC stack. In the controlling process, with the network model trained well as the reference model of the DMFC control system, a novel fuzzy genetic algorithm is used to regulate the parameters and fuzzy rules of a neural fuzzy controller. In the simulation, compared with the nonlinear Proportional Integral Derivative （PID） and traditional fuzzy algorithm, the improved neural fuzzy controller designed in this paper gets better performance, as demonstrated by the simulation results.

Lysosomal chymotrypsin B potentiates apoptosis via cleavage of Bid

We have reported that chymotrypsin B (CtrB) is not just a digestive enzyme but is also stored in lysosomes. Herein, we demonstrated a broad distribution of CtrB and explored the involvement of CtrB in apoptosis. Exposure of RH-35 cells to H₂O₂ or palmitate induced the redistribution of lysosomal CtrB into the cytoplasm as a result of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP). Suppression of CtrB significantly blocked apoptosis, while overexpression of CtrB sensitized apoptosis markedly. CtrB could cleave Bid under neutral conditions. In RH-35 cells with Bid silenced, apoptosis induced by CtrB protein was attenuated, suggesting that CtrB mediates apoptosis of RH-35 cells mainly through processing Bid. Our data also suggest that LMP occurs earlier than mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization; Bid activation initiated by caspase-8 might be reinforced by CtrB in consequence of LMP, which causes a positive feedback loop leading to the accumulation of tBid, and results in lysosome- and mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis.     

A genome-wide association study in Han Chinese identifies new susceptibility loci for ankylosing spondylitis

To identify susceptibility loci for ankylosing spondylitis, we performed a two-stage genome-wide association study in Han Chinese. In the discovery stage, we analyzed 1,356,350 autosomal SNPs in 1,837 individuals with ankylosing spondylitis and 4,231 controls; in the validation stage, we analyzed 30 suggestive SNPs in an additional 2,100 affected individuals and 3,496 controls. We identified two new susceptibility loci between EDIL3 and HAPLN1 at 5q14.3 (rs4552569; P = 8.77 × 10(-10)) and within ANO6 at 12q12 (rs17095830; P = 1.63 × 10(-8)). We also confirmed previously reported associations in Europeans within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region (top SNP, rs13202464; P < 5 × 10(-324)) and at 2p15 (rs10865331; P = 1.98 × 10(-8)). We show that rs13202464 within the MHC region mainly represents the risk effect of HLA-B*27 variants (including HLA-B*2704, HLA-B*2705 and HLA-B*2715) in Chinese. The two newly discovered loci implicate genes related to bone formation and cartilage development, suggesting their potential involvement in the etiology of ankylosing spondylitis.     

Exome sequencing of liver fluke-associated cholangiocarcinoma

Opisthorchis viverrini-related cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a fatal bile duct cancer, is a major public health concern in areas endemic for this parasite. We report here whole-exome sequencing of eight O. viverrini-related tumors and matched normal tissue. We identified and validated 206 somatic mutations in 187 genes using Sanger sequencing and selected 15 genes for mutation prevalence screening in an additional 46 individuals with CCA (cases). In addition to the known cancer-related genes TP53 (mutated in 44.4% of cases), KRAS (16.7%) and SMAD4 (16.7%), we identified somatic mutations in 10 newly implicated genes in 14.8-3.7% of cases. These included inactivating mutations in MLL3 (in 14.8% of cases), ROBO2 (9.3%), RNF43 (9.3%) and PEG3 (5.6%), and activating mutations in the GNAS oncogene (9.3%). These genes have functions that can be broadly grouped into three biological classes: (i) deactivation of histone modifiers, (ii) activation of G protein signaling and (iii) loss of genome stability. This study provides insight into the mutational landscape contributing to O. viverrini-related CCA.     

两种生物农药对蚯蚓的急性毒性及氧化胁迫效应

为探究植物性杀虫剂鱼藤酮、藜芦碱对蚯蚓的影响选择赤子爱胜蚓(Eisenia foetida)为受试生物,通过急性毒性实验和抗氧化酶活性测定,揭示鱼藤酮、藜芦碱的毒性效应。结果显示,急性染毒试验鱼藤酮对蚯蚓24h、48h的半致死质量浓度分别为23.96mg/L、5.991mg/L,藜芦碱对蚯蚓24h、48h的半致死浓度分别为40.67mg/L、20.33 mg/L。说明藜芦碱、鱼藤酮对蚯蚓有致死效应,鱼藤酮的毒性强于藜芦碱;蚯蚓体重的增长受到了药物浓度的影响,有较明显的剂量效应关系,但随时间的延长对蚯蚓体重的抑制效应减弱;在药物胁迫下,SOD与POD活性变化随质量浓度增大呈现先上升后下降,蚯蚓体内SOD、POD响应不同,POD对药物响应更敏感。     

基于EKF/SF的BDS短基线多径抑制方法

多径是影响载波相位差分定位性能的主要误差源。针对传统恒星日滤波(sidereal filter, SF)无法同时抑制系统部分和随机部分多径误差影响的问题,提出一种扩展卡尔曼滤波(extended Kalman filter, EKF)和SF组合的北斗卫星导航系统(BeiDou navigation satellite system,BDS)短基线多径误差抑制方法(EKF/SF)。首先使用基于单差观测量的SF削弱多径系统误差带来的影响,再结合EKF的优势,对残余多径误差所包含的随机误差影响进行抑制,从而达到最大化抑制多径误差的目的。BDS短基线单频载波相位差分定位实验表明,相对于单纯的SF和EKF,采用EKF/SF方法的模糊度固定率分别提高了10%和43%,定位精度可分别提高84%和90%。
