    Abstract Although the neuroimaging measures build a bridge between genetic variants and disease phenotypes, an assessment of single nucleotide variants changes in brain structure and their clinically influence on the progression of Alzheimer's disease remain largely preliminary. Note that each variant has very weak correlation signal to neuroimaging measures or Alzheimer's disease phenotypes. Therefore, traditional sparse regression-based image genetics approaches confront with unresolvable features, relative high regression error or inapplicability of high-dimensional data. Adopting an [Formula: see text] regularization method, we significantly elevate the regression accuracy of imaging genetics compared with group-sparse multitask regression method. With further analysis on the simulation results, we conclude that multiple regression tasks model may be unsuitable for image genetics. In addition, we carried out a whole genome association analysis between genetic variants (about 388 million loci) and phenotypes (cognition normal, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease) with using the [Formula: see text] regularization method. After annotating the effect of all variants by Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP), our method locates 33 missense variants which can explain 40% phenotype variance. Then, we mapped each missense variant to the nearest gene and carried out pathway enrichment analysis. The Notch signaling pathway and Apoptosis pathway have been reported to be related to the formation of Alzheimer's disease.

    Abstract Background: Dual-panel PET is often used for local organ imaging, especially breast imaging, due to its simple structure, high sensitivity, good in-plane resolution, and straightforward fusion with other imaging modalities. Nevertheless, because of data loss caused by the dual-panel structure, using conventional image reconstruction methods results in limited-view artifacts and low image quality in dual-panel positron emission mammography (PEM), which may seriously affect the diagnosis. To mitigate the limited-view artifacts in the dual-panel PEM, we propose a 3D directional gradient L
    Methods: The detailed derivation and reasonable simplification of the 3D-DL
    Results: The qualitative and quantitative studies for phantom data and the blind reader study for clinical data show that the proposed method is more effective in reaching a balance between artifact elimination and image contrast improvement compared with various limited-view reconstruction methods. In addition, the iteration process of the method is proved convergent numerically.
    Conclusions: The image quality improvement confirms the potential value of the proposed reconstruction algorithm to address the limited-view problem, and thus improve diagnostic accuracy in dual-panel PEM imaging.

    Abstract L-2-aminobutyrate (L-ABA) is an important chiral drug intermediate with a key role in modern medicinal chemistry. Here, we describe the development of an efficient method for the asymmetric synthesis of L-ABA in a tri-enzymatic cascade in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) using a cost-effective L-Thr. Low activity of leucine dehydrogenase from Bacillus thuringiensis (BtLDH) and unbalanced expression of enzymes in the cascade were major challenges. Mechanism-based protein engineering generated the optimal triple variant BtLDH

    Abstract Plumbago zeylanica L., a traditional Chinese medicine, has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and it is critical important to explore the chemical compounds and evaluate their biological actions from the medicinal plant. However, the chemical structure and biological activities of polysaccharides from P. zeylanica. were still poorly understood. In this study, two water-soluble polysaccharides named WPZP-2-1 and WPZP-2-2 were purified from P. zeylanica L. Chemical and spectroscopic tests showed that the main chain of WPZP-2-1 was →4)-α-D-GalpA-(1 → 2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→, and the branch chain was galactose or arabinose. The main chain of WPZP-2-2 was composed of →4)-α-D-GalpA-(1 → 2)-α-L-Rhap-(1→, and the O-2 and O-3 of →4)-α-D-GalpA had a small amount of acetylation. In addition, in vitro test showed that WPZP-2-1 and WPZP-2-2 significantly improved the inflammatory damage of LPS + IFN-γ-induced THP-1 cells via reducing the protein levels of CD14, TLR4 and MyD88, thereby promoting IL-10 expression and inhibiting the mRNA levels of TNF-α and IL-1β. Those findings indicated that WPZP-2-1 and WPZP-2-2 from the plant should be served as the potential anti-inflammatory agents.
