Objective(s): The aim of this study is to explore the potential neuroprotective effects of Ginkgolide B (GB), a main terpene lactone and active component in Ginkgo biloba, in hypoxia-induced neuronal damage, and to further investigate its possible mechanisms. Materials and Methods: 54 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: the untreated control group (n=18); the hypoxia group (n=18; exposed to 6000 m simulated plateau altitude for six days); and the GB group (n=18; intragastric administration of 12 mg/kg GB three days prior to rapid adaption to 6000 m and on the first two days of hypoxia). After hypoxia exposure for six days, we dissected out the brain hippocampi and performed hematoxylin and eosin staining, Nissl staining, and TUNEL staining. Homogenates of the hippocampi were used to test the oxidative stress indices including malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and catalase. Bax and caspase-3 expression in the hippocampal tissue was measured using qRT-PCR. Results: Treatment with GB before exposure to hypoxia could protect neural cells and increase the number of Nissl bodies. TUNEL and qRT-PCR results demonstrated that GB treatment could decrease apoptotic cells in different areas of the hippocampus. Antioxidant defense systems such as SOD, GSH, and catalase were decreased (P

Objective Differential expression profiles of free microRNAs (miRNAs) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) and controls were analysed to identify miRNA markers associated with ICH-induced brain injury. Methods Five patients with acute ICH were enrolled alongside five control inpatients without CNS diseases. CSF specimens were collected during initial lumbar puncture after admission, total free RNAs were extracted from CSF, and miRNAs were detected by Agilent Human miRNA V21.0 chip experiments. Differential expression profiles were statistically analysed. Results Principal component analysis of miRNA microarray data confirmed that case and control groups were distinct, and biological repeats were homogeneous. After normalisation of chip data, differential miRNAs were screened using fold change and Student's t-tests; 77 miRNAs were up-regulated (fold change > 2), and 44 miRNAs were down-regulated (fold change Conclusion ICH patients display distinct miRNA expression profiles in CSF, suggesting that miRNAs may be auxiliary diagnostic biomarkers for ICH.

The distribution of TCM syndromes, in order of frequency, was as follows: damp-heat trapping spleen (including spleen deficiency and dampness, damp heat due to spleen deficiency, and qi weakness due to spleen deficiency) (58.29%), qi-yin deficiency (16.03%), deficiency of yin and excessive heat (12.93%), blood stasis in collaterals (9.41%), and yin-yang deficiency (3.21%). The physical intensity of patients’ occupational activity was mainly light (49.6%), followed by heavy (31.4%) and moderate (19.0%).Conclusion: Damp-heat trapping spleen is the most common TCM syndrome in patients with T2DM, with damp heat due to spleen deficiency the most significant subtype. This syndrome tends to occur in people over the age of 60 and those undertaking too much or too little physical activity in their occupational activities. The traditional “three more and one less” symptoms do not adequately describe the clinical symptoms of T2DM.Keywords: type 2 diabetes, TCM syndrome differentiation, damp heat due to spleen deficiency, epidemiology, clinical symptoms

Earned value management lacks research on the project completion trend forecasting method at the following two points: The project completion trend forecast is based on the state indicators at the project monitoring point, and the project execution efficiency before the monitoring time point is rarely considered; the project performance evaluation index How to reduce the non-efficiency noise caused by uncontrollable factors in the existing prediction methods when singularities occur. The above issues will affect the accuracy and stability of the earned value management forecasting system. This paper attempts to introduce the Kalman filtering method (KFFM) into the earned value management completion prediction calculation, and comprehensively considers the project execution efficiency in the logical order of “prediction-measure-correction”, and improves the prediction accuracy through dynamic correction of cost/progress indicators. And effectively reduce the impact of the earned value management forecasting system due to singularities

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death. DNA methylation plays an essential role in carcinogenesis through regulating gene expression and gene alternative splicing. However, the role of methylation in the tumorigenesis of lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its association with prognosis remains unclear. Here, we used an integrative approach to evaluate the prognostic value of epigenetic processes in lung SCC by examining the data provided by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We found that the mean methylation level was significantly decreased in lung SCC. We also identified methylation-driven genes which were associated with cancer-related pathways. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed four methylation-driven genes, GCSAM, GPR75, NHLRC1, and TRIM58, could be served as prognostic indicators for lung SCC. Validation on two external GEO datasets showed consistent methylation alterations of the four genes. These findings may have important implications in the understanding of the potential therapeutic method for lung SCC.

Lung cancer invading the spine was previously considered unresectable and fatal and, consequently, there are few reports focusing on tumors located in the lower lung lobe and invading the spine. With the development of spinal instrumentation and surgical techniques, and wider acceptance of spondylectomy by surgeons, radical surgical resection has become feasible. Here, we present a case of a male patient with a left lower lung cancer invading thoracic vertebrae who underwent complete resection with sagittal en bloc hemivertebrectomy with video‐assisted thoracoscopy. A 60‐year‐old man complained of left chest pain for 3 months. Chest computed tomography and thoracic vertebrae magnetic resonance image revealed that a tumor in the left lower lung lobe had invaded the seventh and eighth thoracic vertebrae and the eighth rib. As no lymph node or distant metastasis was detected by positron emission tomography‐computed tomography, the patient was diagnosed with left lower lung cancer directly invading the seventh and eighth thoracic vertebrae and the eighth rib (T4N0M0, stage IIIA) instead of metastasizing to the thoracic vertebrae. An en bloc resection of the lung tumor and the involved vertebrae was performed by a thoracic surgeon and orthopaedic surgeon with video‐assisted thoracoscopy. Six months after the operation, there was no evidence of local recurrence, and the patient had recovered well. En Bloc resection with video‐assisted thoracoscopy for lung cancer invading thoracic vertebrae is a safe and feasible surgical method. This method can significantly improve the safety and convenience of this type of surgery.

International audience; The goal of the SHERPAM project is to conceive, implement, and validate experimentally devices allowing biophysical data of mobile subjects to be gathered and exploited in a continuous flow. Three application domains will be considered for SHERPAM: heart failure patient's monitoring (HF), the evaluation of functional limitations of arteriopatic patients (FLAP), and the recognition and quantization of physical activity (PA) of a given population. This last goal often requires an estimation of the energy expenditure (EE) in order to quantify the level of PA and EE. SHERPAM gathers research teams from several scientific domains and from several laboratories of Brittany (IRISA-Université de Bretagne Sud, LTSI-Université de Rennes 1, M2S-Université Rennes 2 and ENS Cachan, CIC-IT 804-CHU of Rennes and LAUREPS-Université of Rennes 2), in order to constitute a pluridisciplinary research consortium able to grasp and tackle the technical as well as the societal issues raised by these applications. Each research team has already a solid experience in this domain.SHERPAM is a follow-up of the PucesCom EPT (transversal project team) that was supported by Université européenne de Bretagne (UEB) from 2009 to 2012.

The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) plays a key role in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced signal transduction pathways that lead to inflammatory cytokine synthesis in macrophages; however, whether the inhibition of p38 MAPK regulates LPS-induced inflammatory cytokine expression in different types of macrophages remains the subject of debate. Herein, we assessed whether the inhibition of p38 MAPK by SB203580 regulates LPS-induced expression of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in RAW264.7 and resident peritoneal macrophages. Lipopolysaccharide stimulation of RAW264.7 macrophages or mouse resident peritoneal macrophages significantly increased TNF-α and IL-6 production. The addition of SB203580 to cultures dramatically blocked LPS-induced TNF-α production in RAW264.7 and mouse resident peritoneal macrophages, and dramatically blocked LPS-induced IL-6 production in RAW264.7 macrophages, but not in mouse resident peritoneal macrophages. Additionally, high concentrations of SB203580 resulted in increased IL-6 production. However, LPS-stimulation significantly up-regulated the mRNA transcript levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in RAW264.7 and mouse resident peritoneal macrophages, whereas pretreatment with SB203580 dramatically down-regulated LPS-induced mRNA transcript levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in these cells. Our data show that SB203580 differentially modulates LPS-induced production of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in two different sources of macrophages, and that this course of regulation occurs at the IL-6 mRNA post-transcriptional stage.

By use of a tensor method, the transform formulae for the beam coherence-polarization matrix of the partially polarized Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams through aligned and misaligned optical systems are derived. As an example, the propagation properties of the partially polarized GSM beam passing through a misaligned thin lens are illustrated numerically and discussed in detail. The derived formulae provide a convenient way to study the propagation properties of the partially polarized GSM beams through aligned and misaligned optical systems.

Inflammatory responses are important to host immune reactions, but uncontrolled inflammatory mediators may aid in the pathogenesis of other inflammatory diseases. Geniposide, an iridoid glycoside found in the herb gardenia, is believed to have broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory effects in murine models but its mechanism of action is unclear. We investigated the action of this compound in murine macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as the stimulation of macrophages by LPS is known to induce inflammatory reactions. We determined the effect of geniposide on LPS-induced production of the inflammatory mediators, nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), the mRNA and protein expression of the NO and PGE2 synthases, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), respectively, and the mRNA and protein expression of the inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Furthermore, nuclear factor (NF)-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and activator protein (AP)-1 activity were assayed. To understand the action of geniposide on the NF-κB and MAPK pathways, we studied the effect of NF-κB and MAPK inhibitors on the LPS-induced production of NO, PGE2 and TNF-α. Our findings clearly showed that geniposide mainly exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the LPS-induced NF-κB, MAPK and AP-1 signaling pathways in macrophages, which subsequently reduces overexpression of the inducible enzymes iNOS and COX-2 and suppresses the expression and release of the inflammatory factors, TNF-α, IL-6, NO and PGE2. Thus, geniposide shows promise as a therapeutic agent in inflammatory diseases.

International audience; This paper addresses the numerical stability issue on the channelized Hotelling observer (CHO). The CHO is a well-known approach in the medical image quality assessment domain. Many researchers have found that the detection performance of the CHO does not increase with the number of channels, contrary to expectation. And to our knowledge, nobody in this domain has found the reason. We illustrated that this is due to the ill-posed problem of the scatter matrix and proposed a solution based on Tikhonov regularization. Although Tikhonov regularization has been used in many other domains, we show in this paper another important application of Tikhonov regularization. This is very important for researchers to continue the CHO (and other channelized model observer) investigation with a reliable detection performance calculation.

International audience; As a task-based approach for medical image quality assessment, model observers (MOs) have been proposed as surrogates for human observers. While most MOs treat only signal-known-exactly tasks, there are few studies on signal-known-statistically (SKS) MOs, which are clinically more relevant. In this paper, we present a new SKS MO named channelized joint detection and estimation observer (CJO), capable of detecting and estimating signals with unknown amplitude, orientation, and size. We evaluate its estimation and detection performance using both synthesized (correlated Gaussian) backgrounds and real clinical (magnetic resonance) backgrounds. The results suggest that the CJO has good performance in the SKS detection-estimation task.

Excitable cells, such as neurons, produce action potentials (APs) that in extracel- lular recordings are often referred to as spikes. In these recordings, APs indeed appear as sharp spikes deviated from the noisy baseline. The contributions of each cell must be isolated from the background noise and from those of the other cells. The process of estimating one or more AP waveforms and their discharge instances (firing patterns) from multiunit recordings is known as spike sorting. Resolving overlapped APs is a major difficulty in automatic spike sorting methods. Therefore, this chapter is in large part dedicated to discussing this issue; we focus on state-of-the-art techniques addressing the problem of spike sorting, including the resolution of overlapped APs. In the section "Signal model", we propose the mathematical modeling of multiunit recordings and the complexity in the resolution of overlapped APs. Then, in section "State of the art," we sum- marize state-of-the-art spike sorting algorithms and discuss the advantages and limitations of each and the applicability of these methods for different types of experimental demands. The final section provides the conclusions.

International audience; The decomposition of multiunit signals consists of the restoration of spike trains and action potentials in neural or muscular recordings. Because of the complexity of automatic decomposition, semiautomatic procedures are sometimes chosen. The main difficulty in automatic decomposition is the resolution of temporally overlapped potentials. In a previous study , we proposed a Bayesian model coupled with a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator for fully automatic decomposition of multiunit recordings and we showed applications to intramuscular EMG signals. In this study, we propose a more complex signal model that includes the variability in amplitude of each unit potential. Moreover, we propose the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation and a Bayesian minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator by averaging on samples that converge in distribution to the joint posterior law. We prove the convergence property of this approach mathematically and we test the method representatively on intramuscular multiunit recordings. The results showed that its average accuracy in spike identification is greater than 90% for intramuscular signals with up to 8 concurrently active units. In addition to intramuscular signals, the method can be applied for spike sorting of other types of multiunit recordings.

International audience; Intramuscular electromyography (EMG) signals are usually decomposed with semiautomatic procedures that involve the interaction with an expert operator. In this paper, a Bayesian statistical model and a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator are used to solve the problem of multiunit EMG decomposition in a fully automatic way. The MAP estimation exploits both the like- lihood of the reconstructed EMG signal and some physiological constraints, such as the discharge pattern regularity and the re- fractory period of muscle fibers, as prior information integrated in a Bayesian framework. A Tabu search is proposed to efficiently tackle the nondeterministic polynomial-time-hard problem of op- timization w.r.t the motor unit discharge patterns. The method is fully automatic and was tested on simulated and experimen- tal EMG signals. Compared with the semiautomatic decomposi- tion performed by an expert operator, the proposed method re- sulted in an accuracy of 90.0% ± 3.8% when decomposing single- channel intramuscular EMG signals recorded from the abduc- tor digiti minimi muscle at contraction forces of 5% and 10% of the maximal force. The method can also be applied to the auto- matic identification and classification of spikes from other neural recordings.
