    Abstract The Liqian people in north China are well known because of the controversial hypothesis of an ancient Roman mercenary origin. To test this hypothesis, 227 male individuals representing four Chinese populations were analyzed at 12 short tandem repeat (STR) loci and 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). At the haplogroup levels, 77% Liqian Y chromosomes were restricted to East Asia. Principal component (PC) and multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis suggests that the Liqians are closely related to Chinese populations, especially Han Chinese populations, whereas they greatly deviate from Central Asian and Western Eurasian populations. Further phylogenetic and admixture analysis confirmed that the Han Chinese contributed greatly to the Liqian gene pool. The Liqian and the Yugur people, regarded as kindred populations with common origins, present an underlying genetic difference in a median-joining network. Overall, a Roman mercenary origin could not be accepted as true according to paternal genetic variation, and the current Liqian population is more likely to be a subgroup of the Chinese majority Han.

    Abstract This study establishes an economic financial support model for the improvement of environmental quality through the development rural revitalization based on the extended Cobb-Douglas production function. Using statistical data from Shaanxi Province, China, from 2004 to 2019, a vector autoregressive (VAR) model is used to empirically analyze the development effect of financial support for rural revitalization and to give the focus points and optimization paths for financial support for environmental quality, rural revitalization and sustainable development. The research results show that financial support plays an active and long-term role in improving environmental quality and promoting rural revitalization and sustainable development. Specifically, the effect of financial instruments in supporting rural revitalization and sustainable development is continuous. In the insurance system, increasing the scale of agricultural insurance support and expanding the coverage of agricultural insurance are key to improving environmental quality and promoting rural revitalization and sustainable development. Therefore, financial policy makers should improve the targeting of financial instruments to provide the right guidance for improving the quality of rural environment and enhancing rural economy, so as to ultimately realize rural revitalization in China.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) are 2 similar but distinct diseases. These diseases were difficult to distinguish from each other until aquaporin-4-IgG (AQP-4-IgG) was discovered. The accurate identification of these 2 diseases is crucial for appropriate drug treatment in clinical practice. Herein, we report a case of AQP-4-IgG seroconversion with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings suggestive of MS. CASE REPORT A 54-year-old woman developed weakness in her right lower extremity that gradually returned to normal 4 years ago. Recently, she was admitted to the hospital for numbness and weakness of both lower limbs and the right upper limb for more than 10 days. The clinical and MRI features of the patient suggested a high susceptibility for misdiagnosis of MS. However, careful observation of the MRI revealed the presence of atypical MS lesions ("red flag" signs), indicating the possibility of other diagnoses in this patient. After further examination, serum AQP-4-IgG was detected, suggesting the potential presence of another disorder, NMOSD, in the patient. CONCLUSIONS Attention should be given to the identification of MS MRI "red flag" signs. Even for patients with a high suspicion of MS, it is necessary to conduct antibody tests for AQP-4-IgG, MOG-IgG and other relevant markers to screen for associated diseases because MS disease-modifying therapy approaches may lead to a deterioration in the state of NMOSD patients. Analyzing this case can help us to further distinguish the differences between these 2 types of diseases, which has important practical clinical value.

    Abstract Introduction: Drug-target interaction prediction is one important step in drug research and development. Experimental methods are time consuming and laborious.
    Methods: In this study, we developed a novel DTI prediction method called EnGDD by combining initial feature acquisition, dimensional reduction, and DTI classification based on Gradient boosting neural network, Deep neural network, and Deep Forest.
    Results: EnGDD was compared with seven stat-of-the-art DTI prediction methods (BLM-NII, NRLMF, WNNGIP, NEDTP, DTi2Vec, RoFDT, and MolTrans) on the nuclear receptor, GPCR, ion channel, and enzyme datasets under cross validations on drugs, targets, and drug-target pairs, respectively. EnGDD computed the best recall, accuracy, F1-score, AUC, and AUPR under the majority of conditions, demonstrating its powerful DTI identification performance. EnGDD predicted that D00182 and hsa2099, D07871 and hsa1813, DB00599 and hsa2562, D00002 and hsa10935 have a higher interaction probabilities among unknown drug-target pairs and may be potential DTIs on the four datasets, respectively. In particular, D00002 (Nadide) was identified to interact with hsa10935 (Mitochondrial peroxiredoxin3) whose up-regulation might be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, EnGDD was used to find possible drug targets for Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease after confirming its DTI identification performance. The results show that D01277, D04641, and D08969 may be applied to the treatment of Parkinson's disease through targeting hsa1813 (dopamine receptor D2) and D02173, D02558, and D03822 may be the clues of treatment for patients with Alzheimer's disease through targeting hsa5743 (prostaglandinendoperoxide synthase 2). The above prediction results need further biomedical validation.
    Discussion: We anticipate that our proposed EnGDD model can help discover potential therapeutic clues for various diseases including neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract The present study aimed to explore the immune regulatory function of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid (N) protein and related mechanisms. In a series of protein activity experiments, SARS-CoV-2 N protein promoted proliferation of three immune cell lines: mouse Raw264.7, human Jurkat and human Raji in a dose-dependent manner. A total of 10 µg/ml N protein could significantly change cell cycle progression of the aforementioned three immune cell lines and could promote quick entry of Raw264.7 cells into G

    Abstract lncRNA-protein interactions (LPIs) prediction can deepen the understanding of many important biological processes. Artificial intelligence methods have reported many possible LPIs. However, most computational techniques were evaluated mainly on one dataset, which may produce prediction bias. More importantly, they were validated only under cross validation on lncRNA-protein pairs, and did not consider the performance under cross validations on lncRNAs and proteins, thus fail to search related proteins/lncRNAs for a new lncRNA/protein. Under an ensemble learning framework (EnANNDeep) composed of adaptive k-nearest neighbor classifier and Deep models, this study focuses on systematically finding underlying linkages between lncRNAs and proteins. First, five LPI-related datasets are arranged. Second, multiple source features are integrated to depict an lncRNA-protein pair. Third, adaptive k-nearest neighbor classifier, deep neural network, and deep forest are designed to score unknown lncRNA-protein pairs, respectively. Finally, interaction probabilities from the three predictors are integrated based on a soft voting technique. In comparing to five classical LPI identification models (SFPEL, PMDKN, CatBoost, PLIPCOM, and LPI-SKF) under fivefold cross validations on lncRNAs, proteins, and LPIs, EnANNDeep computes the best average AUCs of 0.8660, 0.8775, and 0.9166, respectively, and the best average AUPRs of 0.8545, 0.8595, and 0.9054, respectively, indicating its superior LPI prediction ability. Case study analyses indicate that SNHG10 may have dense linkage with Q15717. In the ensemble framework, adaptive k-nearest neighbor classifier can separately pick the most appropriate k for each query lncRNA-protein pair. More importantly, deep models including deep neural network and deep forest can effectively learn the representative features of lncRNAs and proteins.
