    Abstract Low-temperature fermentation is considered to enrich the aroma of wine. The metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae responding to low temperatures is intricate and this complexity is further enhanced by various strains and culture media. However, the real effects of low-temperature fermentation on yeast metabolism are unclear. Aiming to clarify the yeast-derived metabolite formation in a low-temperature winemaking range, fermentations were performed at 10, 15, and 20 °C, using five wine yeast strains in two media respectively. Tolerance toward low temperatures and metabolite compositions (including basic chemical compositions and volatile aroma compounds) of wine yeasts were analyzed. Results showed that ethanol, ethyl acetate, and ethyl butanoate increased with the temperature decreasing, while acetic acid, phenylethanol, phenylethyl acetate, ethyl decanoate, and ethyl hexadecanoate decreased with decreasing temperature. The linear relationship between fermentation temperature and the formation of ethanol, acetic acid, and phenylethanol might be fundamentally due to the growth changes caused by temperature. The enhanced production of ethyl acetate and ethyl butyrate followed by decreasing temperature probably resulted from low-temperature-stimulated enzymes in metabolic pathways. These findings reveal a typical profile of yeast-derived metabolites at low-temperature fermentation and provide evidence to support the application of low-temperature winemaking in the wine industry.

    Abstract DNA double-strand break (DSB) is the most dangerous type of DNA damage, which may lead to cell death or oncogenic mutations. Homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) are two typical DSB repair mechanisms. Recently, many studies have revealed that liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays a pivotal role in DSB repair and response. Through LLPS, the crucial biomolecules are quickly recruited to damaged sites with a high concentration to ensure DNA repair is conducted quickly and efficiently, which facilitates DSB repair factors activating downstream proteins or transmitting signals. In addition, the dysregulation of the DSB repair factor's phase separation has been reported to promote the development of a variety of diseases. This review not only provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging roles of LLPS in the repair of DSB but also sheds light on the regulatory patterns of phase separation in relation to the DNA damage response (DDR).

    Abstract The lady beetle Hippodamia variegata is an important biocontrol agent of many aphids. In this study, the fine morphology of antennae as well as the typology, morphology and distribution of antennal sensilla were comprehensively examined by scanning electron microscopy. The antennal morphology of female and male are similar and consist of the scape, pedicel, and nine flagellomeres. No significant difference was detected in the length of each segment between two sexes, while the male antennae are much stronger than females. In total, six types of sensilla can be defined on antenna, including Böhm bristle, sensilla chaetica (with three subtypes), sensilla basiconica (with three subtypes), sensilla trichodea, sensilla placodea and sensilla coeloconica. It is worth noting that sensilla chaetica III distributed only on the fixed position of male antennae. In addition, the functional morphology of antennae of H. variegata were compared with other lady beetles from multiple perspectives. Specially, the function of sensilla were also discussed according to their morphology, location and information from previous studies.

    Abstract Engineered phage with properties optimised for the treatment of bacterial infections hold great promise, but require careful characterisation by a number of approaches. Phage–bacteria infection time courses, where populations of bacteriophage and bacteria are mixed and followed over many infection cycles, can be used to deduce properties of phage infection at the individual cell level. Here, we apply this approach to analysis of infection of Escherichia coli by the temperate bacteriophage 186 and explore which properties of the infection process can be reliably inferred. By applying established modelling methods to such data, we extract the frequency at which phage 186 chooses the lysogenic pathway after infection, and show that lysogenisation increases in a graded manner with increased expression of the lysogenic establishment factor CII. The data also suggest that, like phage λ, the rate of lysogeny of phage 186 increases with multiple infections.

    Abstract Non-invasive temperature monitoring of tissue at depth in real-time is critical to hyperthermia therapies such as high-intensity focused ultrasound. Knowledge of temperature allows for monitoring treatment as well as providing real-time feedback to adjust deposited power in order to maintain safe and effective temperatures. Microwave-induced thermoacoustic (TA) imaging, which combines the conductivity/dielectric contrast of microwave imaging with the resolution of ultrasound, shows potential for estimating temperature non-invasively in real-time by indirectly measuring the temperature dependent parameters from reconstructed images. In this work, we study the temperature dependent behavior of the generated pressure in the TA effect and experimentally demonstrate simultaneous imaging and temperature monitoring using TA imaging. The proof-of-concept experiments demonstrate millimeter spatial resolution while achieving degree-level accuracy.

    Abstract Estimating the number of people in highly clustered crowd scenes is an extremely challenging task on account of serious occlusion and non-uniformity distribution in one crowd image. Traditional works on crowd counting take advantage of different CNN like networks to regress crowd density map, and further predict the count. In contrast, we investigate a simple but valid deep learning model that concentrates on accurately predicting the density map and simultaneously training a density level classifier to relax parameters of the network to prevent dangerous stampede with a smart camera. First, a combination of atrous and fractional stride convolutional neural network (CAFN) is proposed to deliver larger receptive fields and reduce the loss of details during down-sampling by using dilated kernels. Second, the expanded architecture is offered to not only precisely regress the density map, but also classify the density level of the crowd in the meantime (MTCAFN, multiple tasks CAFN for both regression and classification). Third, experimental results demonstrated on four datasets (Shanghai Tech A (MAE = 88.1) and B (MAE = 18.8), WorldExpo'10(average MAE = 8.2), NS UCF_CC_50(MAE = 303.2) prove our proposed method can deliver effective performance.

    Abstract Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a phenylpropanoid derived from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver, has been shown to exhibit potent cytotoxic and anti-proliferative activities against several human cancers. However, the effects of CGA on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the underlying mechanisms have not been intensively studied. In this study, the CGA treatment effects on the viability of human hepatoma cells were investigated by MTT assay. Our data showed that CGA could dose-dependently inhibit the activity of human hepatoma cells Hep-G2 and Huh-7, but did not affect the activity and growth of normal human hepatocyte QSG-7701. The genes and pathways influenced by CGA treatment were explored by RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, which identified 323 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in multiple pharmacological signaling pathways such as MAPK, NF-κB, apoptosis and TGF-β signaling pathways. Further analyses by real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot and flow cytometry revealed that CGA effectually suppressed the noncanonical NF-κB signaling pathway, meanwhile it activated the mitochondrial apoptosis of HCC by upregulation of the BH3-only protein Bcl-2 binding component 3 (BBC3). Our findings demonstrated the potential of CGA in suppressing human hepatoma cells and provided a new insight into the anti-cancer mechanism of CGA.
