Background Cerebral ischemia (CI), ranking as the second leading global cause of death, is frequently treated by reestablishing blood flow and oxygenation. Paradoxically, this reperfusion can intensify tissue damage, leading to CI-reperfusion injury. This research sought to uncover biomarkers pertaining to protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum (PER) during CI-reperfusion injury. Methods We utilized the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset GSE163614 to discern differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and single out PER-related DEGs. The functions and pathways of these PER-related DEGs were identified via Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. Core genes were pinpointed through protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Subsequent to this, genes with diagnostic relevance were distinguished using external validation datasets. A single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was undertaken to pinpoint genes with strong associations to hypoxia and apoptosis, suggesting their potential roles as primary inducers of apoptosis in hypoxic conditions during ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Results Our study demonstrated that PER-related genes, specifically ADCY5, CAMK2A, PLCB1, NTRK2, and DLG4, were markedly down-regulated in models, exhibiting a robust association with hypoxia and apoptosis. Conclusion The data indicates that ADCY5, CAMK2A, PLCB1, NTRK2, and DLG4 could be pivotal genes responsible for triggering apoptosis in hypoxic environments during CI-reperfusion injury.

This study uses time domain terahertz radar system to discuss systematic imaging studies on the scaled models based on the improved Back-Projection (BP) algorithm. We image the scaled models with different shapes and are able to distinguish spatial gaps as small as 6 mm. The Theoretical calculation predicts that the lateral resolution and the axial resolution can be as high as 0.125 mm. Center enhancement and background rings caused by the algorithm in the imaging results are also qualitatively analyzed and are proposed methods to overcome this problem.

Internal calibration, designed for obtaining the gain and phase errors introduced by the fluctuations of the electronic instruments, is an essential operation to guarantee the imaging performance of modern synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. However, in most of the current internal calibration schemes, the internal calibration processes interrupt the normal SAR data acquisition, which results in a loss of azimuth samples and degradation of the SAR image quality. To this end, an advanced non-interrupted internal calibration model is proposed, performing the internal calibration during nominal data acquisitions. The calibration signals and echoes are orthogonal and are received simultaneously. Then, they can be separated by postprocessing via the waveform diversity concept. Two schemes based on the proposed model are demonstrated via theoretical analysis and simulation experiments. The proposed model can achieve a considerable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and reduce the influence of calibration signals on echoes, which have some potential applications for future SAR missions.

System level understanding of the cell requires detailed description of the cell state, which is often characterized by the expression levels of proteins. However, understanding the cell state requires comprehensive information of the cell, which is usually obtained from a large number of cells and their disruption. In this study, we used Raman spectroscopy, which can report changes in the cell state without introducing any label, as a non-invasive method with single cell capability. Significant differences in Raman spectra were observed at the levels of both the cytosol and nucleus in different cell-lines from mouse, indicating that Raman spectra reflect differences in the cell state. Difference in cell state was observed before and after the induction of differentiation in neuroblastoma and adipocytes, showing that Raman spectra can detect subtle changes in the cell state. Cell state transitions during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation were visualized when Raman spectroscopy was coupled with principal component analysis (PCA), which showed gradual transition in the cell states during differentiation. Detailed analysis showed that the diversity between cells are large in undifferentiated ESC and in mesenchymal stem cells compared with terminally differentiated cells, implying that the cell state in stem cells stochastically fluctuates during the self-renewal process. The present study strongly indicates that Raman spectral morphology, in combination with PCA, can be used to establish cells' fingerprints, which can be useful for distinguishing and identifying different cellular states.

The radome can protect the enclosed antenna from harsh weather and environmental conditions; however, it will cause a non‐negligible effect particularly transmission loss on the wideband signal which has been widely used in electronic systems. For this, a novel transmission loss compensation method for radome based on non‐linear frequency modulation (NLFM) waveform design is proposed. First, the transmission coefficient calculation process is given, Then, the detailed NLFM waveform design method is described in detail. Finally, the simulation experiments are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed compensation method. Based on the designed NLFM waveform, the transmission loss can be compensated and a flat frequency response can be obtained, which can achieve excellent performance of pulse compression in the range direction. The proposed NLFM design method has great potential application value in the electronic system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stock market trading is an activity in which investors need fast and accurate information to make effective decisions. But the fact is that forecasting stock prices by using various models has been suffering from low accuracy, slow convergence, and complex parameters. This study aims to employ a mixed model to improve the accuracy of stock price prediction. We present how to use a random walk based on jump-diffusion, to obtain stock predictions with a good-fitting degree by adjusting different parameters. Aimed at getting better parameters and then using the time series model to predict the data, we employed the time series model to smooth the sequence utilizing logarithm and difference, which successfully resulted in drawing the auto-correlation figure and partial the auto-correlation figure. According to the comparative analysis, which focuses on checking the mean absolute error, including root mean square error and R square evaluation index, we have drawn a clear conclusion that our mixed model prediction effect is relatively good. In the context of Chinese stocks, the hybrid random walk model is very suitable for predicting stocks. It can "interpret" the randomness of stocks very well, and it also has an unparalleled prediction effect compared with other models. Based on the time series model's application in this paper, the abovementioned series is more suitable for predicting trends. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
