- Abstract
Robot pose estimation plays a fundamental role in various applications involving service and industrial robots. Among the methods used for robot pose estimation from a single image, the Perspective-n-Point (PnP) based approach is widely used due to its popularity and efficiency. An important part of this framework is keypoint detection. However, the current keypoint detection module used for PnP has two problems: Small number of input keypoints and Large error of input keypoints. This paper proposes a Grouping and Soft-ArgMax (G-SAM) framework to address these two problems: First, a simple and powerful Soft-ArgMax module followed by point subset selection is designed to address the problem of small number of input keypoints; Second, a grouping module is introduced, taking into account the texture and spatial structure information of the robot, to solve the problem of large error of input keypoints. Extensive experiments compare our proposed framework with existing state-of-the-art methods on several public datasets and demonstrate that it can provide more reliable, accurate and faster pose estimation for robotic applications.

NASOPHARYNX cancer ,PERILIPIN ,HYPOXIA-inducible factor 1 ,LIPID metabolism ,CANCER relapse ,RADIOTHERAPY - Abstract
Radiotherapy resistance is a major obstacle to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) therapy and contributes to tumour recurrence and metastasis. Lipid metabolism is a key regulatory mechanism in cancer biology; however, its role in NPC radiotherapy resistance remains unclear. In this study, we identified hypoxia-inducible lipid droplet-associated protein (HILPDA) as a newly discovered regulator of radioresistance that induces not only lipid droplet (LD) formation but also intracellular lipid remodelling, notably changing mitochondrial cardiolipin (CL) levels. Additionally, we found that the upregulation of CL promotes mitophagy in response to irradiation exposure. Mechanistically, HILPDA inhibits PINK1-mediated CLS1 ubiquitination and degradation. The combination of a mitophagy inhibitor and irradiation significantly increases the radiosensitivity of NPC cells. Human cancer-derived data confirmed that the HILPDA-CLS1 pathway promotes NPC radioresistance. Collectively, these findings suggest that HILPDA plays a critical role in promoting NPC radioresistance and might be targeted to overcome radiotherapeutic resistance in NPC patients in the clinic.

- Abstract
Purpose: Ejaculation represents a crucial component of sexual behavior in men, which is involved in reward functions of certain brain areas including the nucleus accumbens (NAcc). Lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most prevalent sexual dysfunctions in men. It is suggested to be related to abnormal brain function. This study aimed to explore changes of the functional connectivity patterns of NAcc and possible correlations of the neuroimaging abnormalities with clinical features in lifelong PE patients. Methods: The sample consisted with 42 lifelong PE patients and 30 healthy controls. All participants underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging scans and clinical symptoms. The functional connectivity (FC) approach was applied to investigate differences of NAcc-seed intrinsic connectivity between two groups and correlation analysis was used to access possible relationships between the imaging findings and clinical features, such as premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) or intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT). Results: Results showed that lifelong PE patients had decreased FC between the NAcc and thalamus, superior temporal pole, superior temporal cortex (STC), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), orbitofrontal cortex, caudate and putamen. A significantly negative correlation between the PEDT score and NAcc-STC connectivity (r = −0.46) was found in lifelong PE patients, while IELT score positively correlated with the NAcc-IFG connectivity (r = 0.48) and NAcc-thalamus connectivity (r = 0.46). Conclusion: The findings may facilitate a more sophisticated understanding of neural mechanisms of lifelong PE, particularly associated with the NAcc-related intrinsic connectivity during the resting state.

Objectives: To explore the interrelationships between structural and functional changes as well as the potential neurotransmitter profile alterations in drug-naïve benign childhood epilepsy with central-temporal spikes (BECTS) patients.Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and resting-state functional MRI data from 20 drug-naïve BECTS patients and 33 healthy controls (HCs) were acquired. Parallel independent component analysis (P-ICA) was used to identify covarying components among gray matter volume (GMV) maps and fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) maps. Furthermore, we explored the spatial correlations between GMV/fALFF changes derived from P-ICA and neurotransmitter maps in JuSpace toolbox.A significantly positive correlation (
p < 0.001) was identified between one structural component (GMV_IC6) and one functional component (fALFF_IC4), which showed significant group differences between drug-naïve BECTS patients and HCs (GMV_IC6:p < 0.01; fALFF_IC4:p < 0.001). GMV_IC6 showed increased GMV in the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, thalamus, and precentral gyrus as well as fALFF_IC4 had enhanced fALFF in the cerebellum in drug-naïve BECTS patients compared to HCs.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a menstrual cycle-related disorder. Previous studies have indicated alterations of brain functional connectivity in PMS patients. However, little is known about the overall organization of brain network in PMS patients. Functional magnetic resonance imaging data deriving from 20 PMS patients and 21 healthy controls (HCs). Pearson correlation between mean time-series was used to estimate connectivity matrix between each paired regions of interest, and the connectivity matrix for each participant was then binarized. Graph theory analysis was applied to assess each participant's global and local topological properties of brain functional network. Correlation analysis was performed to evaluate relationships between the daily rating of severity of problems (DRSP) and abnormal network properties. PMS patients had lower small-worldness values than HCs. PMS-related alterations of nodal properties were mainly found in the posterior cingulate cortex, precuneus and angular gyrus. The PMS-related abnormal connectivity components were mainly associated with the thalamus, putamen and middle cingulate cortex. In the PMS group, the DRSP score were negatively correlated with the area under the curves of nodal local efficiency in the posterior cingulate cortex. Our study suggests that the graph-theory method may be one potential tool to detect disruptions of brain connections and may provide important evidence for understanding the PMS from the disrupted network organization perspective.

Cancer stemness represents a major source of development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). c-Met critically contributes to CRC stemness, but how c-Met is activated in CRC remains elusive. We previously identified the lipolytic factor ABHD5 as an important tumour suppressor gene in CRC. Here, we show that loss of ABHD5 promotes c-Met activation to sustain CRC stemness in a non-canonical manner. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that ABHD5 interacts in the cytoplasm with the core subunit of the SET1A methyltransferase complex, DPY30, thereby inhibiting the nuclear translocation of DPY30 and activity of SET1A. In the absence of ABHD5, DPY30 translocates to the nucleus and supports SET1A-mediated methylation of YAP and histone H3, which sequesters YAP in the nucleus and increases chromatin accessibility to synergistically promote YAP-induced transcription of c-Met, thus promoting the stemness of CRC cells. This study reveals a novel role of ABHD5 in regulating histone/non-histone methylation and CRC stemness. This study reveals an unrecognized role of ABHD5 in regulating colon cancer stemness via controlling YAP methylation and nuclear localization, further explaining the molecular mechanism through which ABHD5 functions as a tumour suppressor gene in colon cancer.

Objectives: To analyze the abnormal amygdala structure and function in lifelong premature ejaculation (PE) patients compared with healthy controls (HCs). Methods: Forty-four lifelong PE patients and thirty-one HCs were enrolled in this study. Each subject was diagnosed with PE using a Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) and intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) score. Based on t-tests and Pearson correlation analysis, the voxel-based morphometry and functional connectivity (FC) analyses were applied to evaluate brain structural and functional changes by using T1-weighted and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. Results: Lifelong PE patients had decreased gray matter volume in the bilateral amygdala and increased FC between the amygdala and precuneus, posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and middle temporal cortex (MTC), as well as decreased FC between the amygdala and precentral gyrus, insula, and inferior frontal gyrus. Moreover, significantly negative correlations between the IELT score and the mean z-score from amygdala-MTC (r = −0.49) and amygdala-PCC (r = −0.48) FC were found in lifelong PE patients. Conclusions: Our study investigated the abnormal amygdala-related structure and connectivity patterns in PE patients, which might provide novel perspective for understanding the crucial role of the amygdala in the neural mechanism of PE. Key Points: • As one of the most common diseases in men, PE may be related to abnormal brain mechanisms. • Functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging used to explore amygdala abnormalities in PE patients. • The correlation between clinical scores and functional connectivity was used to assess the reasonability of the results.

Effect of gypenosides on porcine pancreatic lipase (PL) activity was determined in vitro. Gypenosides inhibited the PL activity in a dose-dependent manner at the concentrations of 0-1.0 mg/ml. The Lineweaver-Burk plots for gypenosides indicated that the inhibition on PL by gypenosides was noncompetitive. The conformation of PL was investigated by means of circular dichroism and fluorescence. The result revealed the decrease in α-helix contents, increase in β-sheet and the decrease in fluorescence intensity after gypenosides treatment. The incorporation of cholesterol into micelles was inhibited by gypenosides. A complex was observed by transmission electron microscopy, indicating interaction between cholesterol and gypenosides which led to the decrease in cholesterol micelle solubility. The result revealed the fact that gypenosides played a role in inhibiting PL activity and reducing intestinal cholesterol absorption via inhibition of micelle formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is the catalytic component of telomerase, especially the rate-limiting determinant of telomerase activity. Accumulating evidence has suggested that TERT could modulate the expression of numerous genes including interleukin 6 (IL-6), an important cytokine for the development of lung cancer. It has been reported that TERT polymorphism rs2736100T/G is associated with increased susceptibility to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the mechanism remains unclear. In the current study, we investigated the association between rs2736100T/G and NSCLC in 1,552 NSCLC and 1,602 healthy controls. Data revealed that the prevalence of TG and GG genotypes were significantly elevated in patients than in controls (odds ratio (OR) = 1.18; 95 % confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.39; p = 0.040 and OR = 1.46; 95 % CI, 1.19-1.78; p < 0.001, respectively). The association was more prominent in patients with lung adenocarcinoma than those with squamous cell carcinoma ( p = 0.039). When analyzing the function of the polymorphism, we observed a significantly augmented level of IL-6 in subjects with GG genotype than those with GT and TT genotypes. Interestingly, the upregulation of IL-6 by GG genotype was 2.3-fold higher in lung adenocarcinoma compared to squamous cell carcinoma. These results suggest that the rs2736100T/G polymorphism modulates IL-6 expression and may play a unique role in lung adenocarcinoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To determine the lethal effect of combining fast neutron with photon radiation on the OS-732 cell line. We examined the effect of irradiation by fast neutrons, photons and a mixed beam (fast neutrons plus photons) on the lethality and colony forming ability of the OS-732 cell line at different times. Following a single irradiation close, the lethality was markedly strong at 24, 48 and 72 h in the group treated with fast neutrons alone and in the mixed beam group in which there was a high proportion of fast neutrons. The lethal effect of a fast neutron and mixed beam with a high proportion of fast neutrons on the OS-732 cell line is highly significant. These studies provide guidance for the clinical application of fast neutrons for osteosarcoma treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
