    Abstract Kanban is a representative control policy pursuing cost-efficient features for the material flow system. However, the Kanban mechanism increases the system vulnerability especially when the environment is uncertain. Therefore, we proposed a robust Kanban system model for the supply chain system based on the Kanban mechanism. The model can use robust approaches from strategic, tactical, and operational levels to deal with the risks in an uncertain environment

    Abstract: Prosthetic valve endocarditis is a serious complication after heart valve replacement, accounting for about 20–30% of infective endocarditis (IE). Aspergillosis infection accounts for 25–30% of fungal endocarditis, and the mortality rate is 42–68%. ... ...

    Abstract Prosthetic valve endocarditis is a serious complication after heart valve replacement, accounting for about 20–30% of infective endocarditis (IE). Aspergillosis infection accounts for 25–30% of fungal endocarditis, and the mortality rate is 42–68%. Aspergillus IE often has negative blood cultures and lacks fever, which makes diagnosis difficult and delays antifungal therapy. Our study reported a case of IE in a patient with Aspergillus infection after aortic valve replacement. Ultra-multiplex polymerase chain reaction was used to identify Aspergillus infection and guide treatment. The purpose of this study was to enhance the understanding of the management of patients with endocarditis infected by fungi after valve replacement regarding the early detection, timely intervention, and treatment of the fungal infection to reduce the risk of death and improve the long-term survival of patients.

    Abstract Due to unprecedented climate change, rapid industrialization and increasing use of agrochemicals, abiotic stress, such as drought, low temperature, high salinity and heavy metal pollution, has become an increasingly serious problem in global agriculture. Anthocyanins, an important plant pigment, are synthesized through the phenylpropanoid pathway and have a variety of physiological and ecological functions, providing multifunctional and effective protection for plants under stress. Foliar anthocyanin accumulation often occurs under abiotic stress including high light, cold, drought, salinity, nutrient deficiency and heavy metal stress, causing leaf reddening or purpling in many plant species. Anthocyanins are used as sunscreens and antioxidants to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), as metal(loid) chelators to mitigate heavy metal stress, and as crucial molecules with a role in delaying leaf senescence. In addition to environmental factors, anthocyanin synthesis is affected by various endogenous factors. Plant hormones such as abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene and gibberellin have been shown to be involved in regulating anthocyanin synthesis either positively or negatively. Particularly when plants are under abiotic stress, several plant hormones can induce foliar anthocyanin synthesis to enhance plant stress resistance. In this review, we revisit the role of plant hormones in anthocyanin biosynthesis and the mechanism of plant hormone-mediated anthocyanin accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance. We conclude that enhancing anthocyanin content with plant hormones could be a prospective management strategy for improving plant stress resistance, but extensive further research is essentially needed to provide future guidance for practical crop production.

    Abstract Target assignment and path planning are crucial for the cooperativity of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) systems. However, it is a challenge considering the dynamics of environments and the partial observability of UAVs. In this article, the problem of multi-UAV target assignment and path planning is formulated as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP), and a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithm is proposed to address it. Specifically, a target assignment network is introduced into the twin-delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm to solve the target assignment problem and path planning problem simultaneously. The target assignment network executes target assignment for each step of UAVs, while the TD3 guides UAVs to plan paths for this step based on the assignment result and provides training labels for the optimization of the target assignment network. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can ensure an optimal complete target allocation and achieve a collision-free path for each UAV in three-dimensional (3D) dynamic multiple-obstacle environments, and present a superior performance in target completion and a better adaptability to complex environments compared with existing methods.

    Abstract Autophagy is a highly conserved physiological process that maintains cellular homeostasis by recycling cellular contents. Selective autophagy is based on the specificity of cargo recognition and has been implicated in various human diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Selective autophagy receptors and modulators play key roles in this process. Identifying these receptors and modulators and their roles is critical for understanding the machinery and physiological function of selective autophagy and providing therapeutic value for diseases. Using modern researching tools and novel screening technologies, an increasing number of selective autophagy receptors and modulators have been identified. A variety of Strategies and approaches, including protein-protein interactions (PPIs)-based identification and genome-wide screening, have been used to identify selective autophagy receptors and modulators. Understanding the strengths and challenges of these approaches not only promotes the discovery of even more such receptors and modulators but also provides a useful reference for the identification of regulatory proteins or genes involved in other cellular mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the functions, disease association, and identification strategies of selective autophagy receptors and modulators.

    Abstract Study design: Animal and cellular models of spinal cord injury (SCI) were used to explore the role of miR-335 in regulating cell viability and apoptosis.
    Objective: To investigate the role and the target of miR-335 in SCI.
    Summary of background: Based on analysis of the GSE19890 data set, miR-335 was identified as a downregulated microRNA (miRNAs) following SCI. Thus, this study investigated whether downregulation of miR-335 is important in the pathological process of SCI.
    Materials and methods: The GSE19890 data set investigating the expression profiles of miRNAs after SCI was downloaded from the GEO database. GSE45006 and GSE4550 data sets were used to identify differentially expressed genes between normal samples and SCI samples. The targets of rno-miR-335 were predicted using the TargetScan database.An experimental model of SCI was established, and agomir-miR-335 was intrathecally injected into rats with SCI. Functional recovery was evaluated by assessment of Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scores and spinal cord water content and performing hematoxylin-eosin staining. Apoptosis was estimated by TUNEL staining. The H 2 O 2 -treated PC12 cells were used as in vitro models of SCI. Cell viability and apoptosis were examined by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry. Caspase-3 expression was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining. Levels of miRNAs and mRNAs were measured by reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Western blotting was performed to measure Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and specificity protein 1 (SP1) protein levels.
    Results: For in vivo studies, miR-335 was downregulated following SCI, and agomir-miR-335 delivery improved functional recovery through suppressing neuronal apoptosis by inactivating the SP1-Bax/Bcl-2/caspase-3 signaling. During in vitro analysis, miR-335 protected PC12 cells against H 2 O 2 -induced damage by negatively regulating the SP1-Bax/Bcl-2/caspase-3 signaling axis. Moreover, upregulation of SP1 abolished the apoptosis suppressive effects of miR-335 upregulation.
    Conclusion: MiR-335 ameliorates locomotor impairment in rats with SCI through the suppression of neuronal apoptosis by inactivating SP1-Bax/Bcl-2/caspase-3 signaling.
