    Abstract Studying the folding kinetics of an RNA can provide insight into its function and is thus a valuable method for RNA analyses. Computational approaches to the simulation of folding kinetics suffer from the exponentially large folding space that needs to be evaluated. Here, we present a new approach that combines structure abstraction with evolutionary conservation to restrict the analysis to common parts of folding spaces of related RNAs. The resulting algorithm can recapitulate the folding kinetics known for single RNAs and is able to analyse even long RNAs in reasonable time. Our program RNAliHiKinetics is the first algorithm for the simulation of consensus folding kinetics and addresses a long-standing problem in a new and unique way.

    Abstract Faithful measurement of perceptual quality is of significant importance to various multimedia applications. By fully utilizing reference images, full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) methods usually achieves better prediction performance. On the other hand, no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA), also known as blind image quality assessment (BIQA), which does not consider the reference image, makes it a challenging but important task. Previous NR-IQA methods have focused on spatial measures at the expense of information in the available frequency bands. In this paper, we present a multiscale deep blind image quality assessment method (BIQA, M.D.) with spatial optimal-scale filtering analysis. Motivated by the multi-channel behavior of the human visual system and contrast sensitivity function, we decompose an image into a number of spatial frequency bands by multiscale filtering and extract features for mapping an image to its subjective quality score by applying convolutional neural network. Experimental results show that BIQA, M.D. compares well with existing NR-IQA methods and generalizes well across datasets.

    Abstract Driven by the scalable diffusion models trained on large-scale datasets, text-to-image synthesis methods have shown compelling results. However, these models still fail to precisely follow the text prompt involving multiple objects, attributes, or spatial compositions. In this paper, we reveal the potential causes in the diffusion model's cross-attention and self-attention layers. We propose two novel losses to refocus attention maps according to a given spatial layout during sampling. Creating the layouts manually requires additional effort and can be tedious. Therefore, we explore using large language models (LLM) to produce these layouts for our method. We conduct extensive experiments on the DrawBench, HRS, and TIFA benchmarks to evaluate our proposed method. We show that our proposed attention refocusing effectively improves the controllability of existing approaches.

    Abstract The multifunctional Yersinia effector YopM inhibits effector triggered immunity and increases production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine Interleukin-10 (IL-10) to suppress the host immune response. Previously it was shown that YopM induces IL-10 gene expression by elevating phosphorylation of the serine-threonine kinase RSK1 in the nucleus of human macrophages. Using transcriptomics, we found that YopM strongly affects expression of genes belonging to the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Further analysis revealed that YopM mediates nuclear translocation of the transcription factor Stat3 in Y. enterocolitica infected macrophages and that knockdown of Stat3 inhibited YopM-induced IL-10 gene expression. YopM-induced Stat3 translocation did not depend on autocrine IL-10, activation of RSK1 or tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat3. Thus, besides activation of RSK1, stimulation of nuclear translocation of Stat3 is another mechanism by which YopM increases IL-10 gene expression in macrophages.

    Abstract Background: Studies on the prognostic value of homocysteine level have yielded controversial results in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prognostic utility of homocysteine among patients with AIS in terms of recurrent stroke, poor functional outcome or all-cause mortality.
    Methods: Two independent authors searched the articles published in PubMed and Embase databases prior to March 31, 2020. Original studies that investigated the value of homocysteine level in predicting recurrent stroke, poor functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale ≥ 3) or all-cause mortality in AIS patients were eligible.
    Results: Eleven articles (10 studies) that enrolled 19,435 patients with AIS were included. Meta-analysis indicated that the patients with the highest homocysteine level had an increased risk of all-cause mortality (risk ratio [RR] 1.40; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-1.55). However, elevated homocysteine level was not significantly associated with recurrent stroke (RR 1.28; 95% CI 0.99-1.65) or poor functional outcome (RR 1.71; 95% CI 0.77-3.83).
    Conclusion: Elevated homocysteine level is independently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality but not recurrent stroke or poor functional outcome in patients with AIS. However, additional well-designed studies are required to confirm the findings of this meta-analysis.

    Abstract Although the molecular mechanisms of chronic pain have been extensively studied, a global picture of alternatively spliced genes and events in the peripheral and central nervous systems of chronic pain is poorly understood. The current study analyzed the changing pattern of alternative splicing (AS) in mouse brain, dorsal root ganglion, and spinal cord tissue under inflammatory and neuropathic pain. In total, we identified 6495 differentially alternatively spliced (DAS) genes. The molecular functions of shared DAS genes between these two models are mainly enriched in calcium signaling pathways, synapse organization, axon regeneration, and neurodegeneration disease. Additionally, we identified 509 DAS in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) shared by these two models, accounting for a small proportion of total DEGs. Our findings supported the hypothesis that the AS has an independent regulation pattern different from transcriptional regulation. Taken together, these findings indicate that AS is one of the important molecular mechanisms of chronic pain in mammals. This study presents a global description of AS profile changes in the full path of neuropathic and inflammatory pain models, providing new insights into the underlying mechanisms of chronic pain and guiding genomic clinical diagnosis methods and rational medication.

    Abstract Plain text has become a prevalent interface for text-to-image synthesis. However, its limited customization options hinder users from accurately describing desired outputs. For example, plain text makes it hard to specify continuous quantities, such as the precise RGB color value or importance of each word. Furthermore, creating detailed text prompts for complex scenes is tedious for humans to write and challenging for text encoders to interpret. To address these challenges, we propose using a rich-text editor supporting formats such as font style, size, color, and footnote. We extract each word's attributes from rich text to enable local style control, explicit token reweighting, precise color rendering, and detailed region synthesis. We achieve these capabilities through a region-based diffusion process. We first obtain each word's region based on attention maps of a diffusion process using plain text. For each region, we enforce its text attributes by creating region-specific detailed prompts and applying region-specific guidance, and maintain its fidelity against plain-text generation through region-based injections. We present various examples of image generation from rich text and demonstrate that our method outperforms strong baselines with quantitative evaluations.

    Abstract Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have demonstrated impressive image generation quality and semantic editing capability of real images, e.g., changing object classes, modifying attributes, or transferring styles. However, applying these GAN-based editing to a video independently for each frame inevitably results in temporal flickering artifacts. We present a simple yet effective method to facilitate temporally coherent video editing. Our core idea is to minimize the temporal photometric inconsistency by optimizing both the latent code and the pre-trained generator. We evaluate the quality of our editing on different domains and GAN inversion techniques and show favorable results against the baselines.

    Abstract We present an approach for jointly matching and segmenting object instances of the same category within a collection of images. In contrast to existing algorithms that tackle the tasks of semantic matching and object co-segmentation in isolation, our method exploits the complementary nature of the two tasks. The key insights of our method are two-fold. First, the estimated dense correspondence fields from semantic matching provide supervision for object co-segmentation by enforcing consistency between the predicted masks from a pair of images. Second, the predicted object masks from object co-segmentation in turn allow us to reduce the adverse effects due to background clutters for improving semantic matching. Our model is end-to-end trainable and does not require supervision from manually annotated correspondences and object masks. We validate the efficacy of our approach on five benchmark datasets: TSS, Internet, PF-PASCAL, PF-WILLOW, and SPair-71k, and show that our algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods on both semantic matching and object co-segmentation tasks.
