    Abstract Mucins are often stained with the basic dye Alcian blue, but mucins with a low acidic glycan content cannot be stained with it. Succinylation-Alcian blue staining is a method that temporarily modifies glycans with succinic acid to visualize mucins with low acidic glycan content. This method can be used to stain mucins on polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes separated via supported molecular matrix electrophoresis (SMME) and mucins blotted onto PVDF membranes from gel electrophoreses. The succinyl groups of the modified glycans can be easily and completely removed by releasing O-glycan from the stained mucin bands. Therefore, the glycans can be analyzed using the same methods as those used for mucins with a high acidic glycan content.

    Abstract Background: Linezolid exhibits antibacterial activity against sensitive and drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Knowledge on the distribution of linezolid in different types of bones in patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB) is lacking, which limits the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of linezolid. This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of linezolid in diseased and nondiseased bones in patients with spinal TB.
    Methods: Spinal TB patients treated with linezolid-containing regimens and whose diseased and nondiseased bones were collected during surgery were enrolled retrospectively from January 2017 to February 2022. Blood, nondiseased bones, and diseased bones were collected simultaneously during the operation. Linezolid concentrations in the plasma, nondiseased bones, and diseased bones were subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
    Results: Seven eligible spinal TB patients, including one rifampicin-resistant case, were enrolled. Following a 600 mg oral administration of linezolid before surgery, the median concentrations of linezolid in plasma, nondiseased bone, and diseased bone of the seven patients were 8.23, 1.01, and 2.13 mg/L, respectively. The mean ratios of linezolid concentration in nondiseased bones/plasma, diseased bones/plasma and diseased bones/nondiseased bones reached 0.26, 0.49, and 2.27, respectively. The diseased bones/plasma presented a higher mean ratio of linezolid concentration than nondiseased bones/plasma, and the difference was statistically significant (t = 2.55, p = 0.025). Pearson's correlation analysis showed the positively correlation of linezolid concentrations in diseased and nondiseased bones (r = 0.810, p = 0.027).
    Conclusions: Linezolid exhibits a higher concentration distribution in diseased bones than in nondiseased bones.

    Abstract Background and objectives: To explore the effect of nutrition management under ERAS concept in patients with spinal tuberculosis.
    Methods and study design: The study was conducted in an orthopedic ward of a tertiary grade A special hospital in Beijing. The patients admitted from January 1, 2021 to June 27, 2023 were screened for inclusion. The qualified patients were randomized into experimental group or control group. The experimental group received perioperative nutrition management under the concept of ERAS while the control group received routine perioperative management in hospital. The data was collected on the next day of admission, the next day and the sixth day after operation, including laboratory indicators (lymphocyte count, hemoglobin level, etc), intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative exhaust, defecation time, drainage volume, albumin infusion amount, nutritional risk score, length of stay, hospitalization costs, etc. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis correcting for gender, age, and baseline values were performed using SPSS24.0.
    Results: A total of 127 patients with spinal tuberculosis completed the study. Compared with the control group, the intraoperative blood loss (p=0.028) in the experimental group was significantly reduced, the postoperative exhaust time (p=0.012) and defecation time (p=0.012) were significantly shortened, and the nutritional status (p<0.001) was significantly improved. Besides, the results of multivariate analysis are robust after correcting potential confounding factors.
    Conclusions: Nutrition management under the concept of ERAS is helpful to reduce intraoperative bleeding, promote postoperative flatus and defecation, and improve nutritional status in patients with spinal tuberculosis, which may further improve their clinical outcome and prognosis.

    Abstract Online monitoring aims to evaluate or to predict, at runtime, whether or not the behaviors of a system satisfy some desired specification. It plays a key role in safety-critical cyber-physical systems. In this work, we propose a new monitoring approach, called model predictive monitoring, for specifications described by Signal Temporal Logic (STL) formulae. Specifically, we assume that the observed state traces are generated by an underlying dynamical system whose model is known but the control law is unknown. The main idea is to use the dynamic of the system to predict future states when evaluating the satisfaction of the STL formulae. To this end, effective approaches for the computation of feasible sets of STL formulae are provided. We show that, by explicitly utilizing the model information of the dynamical system, the proposed online monitoring algorithm can falsify or certify of the specification in advance compared with existing algorithms, where no model information is used. We also demonstrate the proposed monitoring algorithm by several real world case studies.

    Abstract In this paper, we revisit the fault diagnosis problem of discrete-event systems (DES) under non-deterministic observations. Non-deterministic observation is a general observation model that includes the case of intermittent loss of observations. In this setting, upon the occurrence of an event, the sensor reading may be non-deterministic such that a set of output symbols are all possible. Existing works on fault diagnosis under non-deterministic observations require to consider all possible observation realizations. However, this approach includes the case where some possible outputs are permanently disabled. In this work, we introduce the concept of output fairness by requiring that, for any output symbols, if it has infinite chances to be generated, then it will indeed be generated infinite number of times. We use an assume-guarantee type of linear temporal logic formulas to formally describe this assumption. A new notion called output-fair diagnosability (OF-diagnosability) is proposed. An effective approach is provided for the verification of OF-diagnosability. We show that the proposed notion of OF-diagnosability is weaker than the standard definition of diagnosability under non-deterministic observations, and it better captures the physical scenario of observation non-determinism or intermittent loss of observations.

  9. Book ; Online: A Uniform Framework for Diagnosis of Discrete-Event Systems with Unreliable Sensors using Linear Temporal Logic

    Abstract In this paper, we investigate the diagnosability verification problem of partially-observed discrete-event systems (DES) subject to unreliable sensors. In this setting, upon the occurrence of each event, the sensor reading may be non-deterministic due to measurement noises or possible sensor failures. Existing works on this topic mainly consider specific types of unreliable sensors such as the cases of intermittent sensors failures, permanent sensor failures or their combinations. In this work, we propose a novel \emph{uniform framework} for diagnosability of DES subject to, not only sensor failures, but also a very general class of unreliable sensors. Our approach is to use linear temporal logic (LTL) with semantics on infinite traces to describe the possible behaviors of the sensors. A new notion of $\varphi$-diagnosability is proposed as the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a diagnoser when the behaviors of sensors satisfy the LTL formula $\varphi$. Effective approach is provided to verify this notion. We show that, our new notion of $\varphi$-diagnosability subsumes all existing notions of robust diagnosability of DES subject to sensor failures. Furthermore, the proposed framework is user-friendly and flexible since it supports an arbitrary user-defined unreliable sensor type based on the specific scenario of the application. As examples, we provide two new notions of diagnosability, which have never been investigated in the literature, using our uniform framework.

    Abstract Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and gas turbine (GT) systems are the capability to achieve 75% efficiency of their potential, because of the high flexibility of fuel and load efficiency. So, by integrating the SOFC and GT, a novel hybrid framework with high efficiency is created for implementation in the power plant systems to minimizing operating costs in the energy market. In most of the paper, only the energy market of the day-ahead is considered and the ancillary service and participation in these markets are not seen. However, one of the biggest advantages of limited energy resources is the possibility of their presence in the ancillary services markets. In this paper, at first, a novel structure of hybrid a GTSOFC and new energy storage based on a reversible solid oxide fuel cell coupled with metal hydrides and waste steam is employed in power system for selling and buying energy from the energy market and ancillary services market then to increase the efficiency a new method based on the self-scheduling method is proposed for obtaining the best result. Finally, the proposed method is implemented in a sample unit and the results proved that the proposed method is suitable for the optimization problems.
