    Abstract Background: Prediction of novel Drug-Target interactions (DTIs) plays an important role in discovering new drug candidates and finding new proteins to target. In consideration of the time-consuming and expensive of experimental methods. Therefore, it is a challenging task that how to develop efficient computational approaches for the accurate predicting potential associations between drug and target.
    Results: In the paper, we proposed a novel computational method called WELM-SURF based on drug fingerprints and protein evolutionary information for identifying DTIs. More specifically, for exploiting protein sequence feature, Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) is applied to capturing protein evolutionary information and Speed up robot features (SURF) is employed to extract sequence key feature from PSSM. For drug fingerprints, the chemical structure of molecular substructure fingerprints was used to represent drug as feature vector. Take account of the advantage that the Weighted Extreme Learning Machine (WELM) has short training time, good generalization ability, and most importantly ability to efficiently execute classification by optimizing the loss function of weight matrix. Therefore, the WELM classifier is used to carry out classification based on extracted features for predicting DTIs. The performance of the WELM-SURF model was evaluated by experimental validations on enzyme, ion channel, GPCRs and nuclear receptor datasets by using fivefold cross-validation test. The WELM-SURF obtained average accuracies of 93.54, 90.58, 85.43 and 77.45% on enzyme, ion channels, GPCRs and nuclear receptor dataset respectively. We also compared our performance with the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), the state-of-the-art Support Vector Machine (SVM) on enzyme and ion channels dataset and other exiting methods on four datasets. By comparing with experimental results, the performance of WELM-SURF is significantly better than that of ELM, SVM and other previous methods in the domain.
    Conclusion: The results demonstrated that the proposed WELM-SURF model is competent for predicting DTIs with high accuracy and robustness. It is anticipated that the WELM-SURF method is a useful computational tool to facilitate widely bioinformatics studies related to DTIs prediction.

    Abstract The tobacco emission condensate, henceforth referred to as "tobacco condensate," plays a critical role in assessing the toxicity of tobacco products. This condensate, derived from tobacco emissions, provides an optimized liquid concentrate for storage and concentration control. Thus, the validation of its constituents is vital for toxicity assessments. This study used tobacco condensates from 3R4F cigarettes and three heated tobacco product (HTP) variants to quantify and contrast organic compounds (OCs) therein. The hazard index (HI) for tobacco emissions and condensates was determined to ascertain the assessment validity. The total particulate matter (TPM) for 3R4F registered at 17,667 μg cig

    Abstract Self-interacting proteins (SIPs) play crucial roles in biological activities of organisms. Many high-throughput methods can be used to identify SIPs. However, these methods are both time-consuming and expensive. How to develop effective computational approaches for identifying SIPs is a challenging task. In the article, we present a novel computational method called RRN-SIFT, which combines the recurrent neural network (RNN) with scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) to predict SIPs based on protein evolutionary information. The main advantage of the proposed RNN-SIFT model is that it uses SIFT for extracting key feature by exploring the evolutionary information embedded in Position-Specific Iterated BLAST-constructed position-specific scoring matrix and employs an RNN classifier to perform classification based on extracted features. Extensive experiments show that the RRN-SIFT obtained average accuracy of 94.34% and 97.12% on the

    Abstract Objective: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common allergic disorder, afflicting thousands of human beings. Aberrant mitochondrial dynamics are important pathological elements for various immune cell dysfunctions and allergic diseases. However, the connection between mitochondrial dynamics and AR remains poorly understood. This study aimed to determine whether mitochondrial dynamics influence the inflammatory response in AR.
    Methods: In the present study, we established a murine model of AR by sensitization with ovalbumin (OVA). Then, we investigated the mitochondrial morphology in mice with AR by transmission electron microscopy and confocal fluorescence microscopy, and evaluated the role of Mdivi-1 (an inhibitor of mitochondrial fission) on allergic symptoms, inflammatory responses, allergic-related signals, and reactive oxygen species formation.
    Results: There was a notable enhancement in mitochondrial fragmentation in the nasal mucosa of mice following OVA stimulation, whereas Mdivi-1 prevented aberrant mitochondrial morphology. Indeed, Mdivi-1 alleviated the rubbing and sneezing responses in OVA-sensitized mice. Compared with vehicle-treated ones, mice treated with Mdivi-1 exhibited a reduction in interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and specific IgE levels in both serum and nasal lavage fluid, and shown an amelioration in inflammatory response of nasal mucosa. Meanwhile, Mdivi-1 treatment was associated with a suppression in JAK2 and STAT6 activation and reactive oxygen species generation, which act as important signaling for allergic response.
    Conclusion: Our findings reveal mitochondrial dynamics modulate the allergic responses in AR. Mitochondrial dynamics may represent a promising target for the treatment of AR.

    Abstract Background: Increasing evidence has indicated that protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in various aspects of the structural and functional organization of a cell. Thus, continuing to uncover potential PPIs is an important topic in the biomedical domain. Although various feature extraction methods with machine learning approaches have enhanced the prediction of PPIs. There remains room for improvement by developing novel and effective feature extraction methods and classifier approaches to identify PPIs.
    Method: In this study, we proposed a sequence-based feature extraction method called LCPSSMMF, which combined local coding position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) with multifeatures fusion. First, we used a novel local coding method based on PSSM to build a new PSSM (CPSSM); the advantage of this method is that it incorporated global and local feature extraction, which can account for the interactions between residues in both continuous and discontinuous regions of amino acid sequences. Second, we adopted 2 different feature extraction methods (Local Average Group [LAG] and Bigram Probability [BP]) to capture multiple key feature information by employing the evolutionary information embedded in the CPSSM matrix. Finally, feature vectors were acquired by using multifeatures fusion method.
    Result: To evaluate the performance of the proposed feature extraction approach, we employed support vector machine (SVM) as a prediction classifier and applied this method to

    Abstract Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential to a number of biological processes. The PPIs generated by biological experiment are both time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, many computational methods have been proposed to identify PPIs. However, most of these methods are limited as they are difficult to compute and rely on a large number of homologous proteins. Accordingly, it is urgent to develop effective computational methods to detect PPIs using only protein sequence information. The kernel parameter of relevance vector machine (RVM) is set by experience, which may not obtain the optimal solution, affecting the prediction performance of RVM. In this work, we presented a novel computational approach called GWORVM-BIG, which used Bi-gram (BIG) to represent protein sequences on a position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) and GWORVM classifier to perform classification for predicting PPIs. More specifically, the proposed GWORVM model can obtain the optimum solution of kernel parameters using gray wolf optimizer approach, which has the advantages of less control parameters, strong global optimization ability, and ease of implementation compared with other optimization algorithms.

    Abstract Dendrobium nobile alkaloids (DNLA) and glycosides are the main active components extracted from Dendrobium nobile Lindl. (D. nobile) used for thousands of years in China. The pharmacological effects of the above chemical components are significantly different. D. nobile is mainly grown at an altitude ranging from 230 to 800 m in Chishui City, Northwest Guizhou Province. However, it is unclear whether the metabolite in D. nobile is influenced by the planting altitude. Hence, to reveal the different metabolite in D. nobile cultivated at the altitude of 336 m, 528 m, and 692 m, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with Q/TOF-MS couple with multivariate analysis were developed. Using the orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis, 19 different metabolites were discovered and then tentatively assigned their structures as alkaloids and glycosides by comparing mass spectrometry data with in-house database and literature. Moreover, the result of semiquantitative analysis showed the content of dendrobine that was belonged to alkaloids significantly increased at the altitude of 692 m, whereas the content of glycosides demonstrated an accumulation trend at the altitude of 528 m. The results could provide valuable information for the optimal clinical drug therapeutics and provide a reference for quality control.

    Abstract It is a challenging task for fundamental research whether proteins can interact with their partners. Protein self-interaction (SIP) is a special case of PPIs, which plays a key role in the regulation of cellular functions. Due to the limitations of experimental self-interaction identification, it is very important to develop an effective biological tool for predicting SIPs based on protein sequences. In the study, we developed a novel computational method called RVM-AB that combines the Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) model and Average Blocks (AB) for detecting SIPs from protein sequences. Firstly, Average Blocks (AB) feature extraction method is employed to represent protein sequences on a Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM). Secondly, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method is used to reduce the dimension of AB vector for reducing the influence of noise. Then, by employing the Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) algorithm, the performance of RVM-AB is assessed and compared with the state-of-the-art support vector machine (SVM) classifier and other exiting methods on yeast and human datasets respectively. Using the fivefold test experiment, RVM-AB model achieved very high accuracies of 93.01% and 97.72% on yeast and human datasets respectively, which are significantly better than the method based on SVM classifier and other previous methods. The experimental results proved that the RVM-AB prediction model is efficient and robust. It can be an automatic decision support tool for detecting SIPs.

    Abstract Introduction: Alkaloids and glycosides are the active ingredients of the herb Dendrobium nobile, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine. The pharmacological effects of alkaloids include neuroprotective effects and regulatory effects on glucose and lipid metabolism, while glycosides improve the immune system. The pharmacological activities of the above chemical components are significantly different. In practice, the stems of 3-year-old D. nobile are usually used as the main source of Dendrobii Caulis. However, it has not been reported whether this harvesting time is appropriate.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the chemical characteristics of D. nobile in different growth years (1-3 years).
    Methods: In this study, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) was employed to analyze the constituents of D. nobile. The relative abundance of each constituent was analyzed with multivariate statistical analyses to screen the characteristic constituents that contributed to the characterization and classification of D. nobile. Dendrobine, a component of D. nobile that is used for quality control according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, was assayed by gas chromatography.
    Results: As a result, 34 characteristic constituents (VIP > 2) were identified or tentatively identified as alkaloids and glycosides based on MS/MS data. Moreover, the content of alkaloids decreased over time, whereas the content of glycosides showed the opposite trend. The absolute quantification of dendrobine was consistent with the metabolomics results.
    Conclusion: Our findings provide valuable information to optimize the harvest period and a reference for the clinical application of D. nobile.
