    Abstract Adversarial learning has proven to be an effective method for capturing transferable features for unsupervised domain adaptation. However, some existing conditional adversarial domain adaptation methods assign equal importance to different samples, ignoring the fact that hard-to-transfer samples might damage the conditional adversarial adaptation procedure. Meanwhile, some methods can only roughly align marginal distributions across domains, but cannot ensure category distributions alignment, causing classifiers to make uncertain or even wrong predictions for some target data. Furthermore, we find that the feature norms of real images usually follow a complex distribution, so directly matching the mean feature norms of two domains cannot effectively reduce the statistical discrepancy of feature norms and may potentially induce feature degradation. In this paper, we develop a Trust-aware Conditional Adversarial Domain Adaptation (TCADA) method for solving the aforementioned issues. To quantify data transferability, we suggest utilizing posterior probability modeled by a Gaussian-uniform mixture, which effectively facilitates conditional domain alignment. Based on this posterior probability, a confidence-guided alignment strategy is presented to promote precise alignment of category distributions and accelerate the learning of shared features. Moreover, a novel optimal transport-based strategy is introduced to align the feature norms and facilitate shared features becoming more informative. To encourage classifiers to make more accurate predictions for target data, we also design a mixed information-guided entropy regularization term to promote deep features being away from the decision boundaries. Extensive experiments show that our method greatly improves transfer performance on various tasks.

    Abstract Recently, emerging evidence has identified that stress-induced activation of neuroinflammation is considered to be one of the most prevalently precipitating factors in the pathogenesis of depression. Data from clinical trials and experimental findings has verified the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the prevention and treatment of depression. However, the mechanism of the preventive effect of acupuncture for depression has not been fully elucidated. The current study aimed to investigate the preventive effect and mechanism of acupuncture through modulating the neuroinflammation mediated by toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway in rats exposed to chronic restraint stress (CRS). All rats were subjected to CRS for 21 days, with the exception of rats in control group. One hour before CRS, rats in acupuncture group were exposed to acupuncture at Baihui (GV20) and Yintang (GV29). The depression-like behaviors were evaluated by body weight assessment and sucrose preference test at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days. The expression of activated microglia in hippocampus was detected by immunofluorescence. The expression of key proteins on TLR4 signaling pathway of TLR4, MyD88, TRAF6, NF-κB p65, TNF-α, and mRNA of TLR4 in the hippocampus was detected by western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction to investigate the effect of acupuncture on stress-induced activation of neuroinflammation. The present study provided evidence that acupuncture exerted potential preventive effect that might be mediated in part by suppressing the neuroinflammation induced by TLR4 signaling pathway, which may be a promising treatment target to improve current treatments for depression.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: To date, specific cytokines associated with development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and extrapulmonary multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) in COVID-19 patients have not been systematically described. We determined the levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with COVID-19 and their relationships with ARDS and extrapulmonary MOD. METHODS: The clinical and laboratory data of 94 COVID-19 patients with and without ARDS were analyzed. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin 6 [IL-6], IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor α [TNF-α]) were measured on days 1, 3, and 5 following admission. Seventeen healthy volunteers were recruited as controls. Correlations in the levels of inflammatory cytokines with clinical and laboratory variables were analyzed, furthermore, we also explored the relationships of different cytokines with ARDS and extrapulmonary MOD. RESULTS: The ARDS group had higher serum levels of all 4 inflammatory cytokines than the controls, and these levels steadily increased after admission. The ARDS group also had higher levels of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 than the non-ARDS group, and the levels of these cytokines correlated significantly with coagulation parameters and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α correlated with the levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen, and were also higher in ARDS patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). All 4 inflammatory cytokines had negative correlations with PaO₂/FiO₂. IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α had positive correlations with the APACHE-II score. Relative to survivors, non-survivors had higher levels of IL-6 and IL-10 at admission, and increasing levels over time. CONCLUSIONS: The cytokine storm apparently contributed to the development of ARDS and extrapulmonary MOD in COVID-19 patients. The levels of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 correlated with DIC, and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were associated with AKI. Relative to survivors, patients who died within 28 days had increased levels of IL-6 and IL-10.

    Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] provides a rich source of plant protein and oil worldwide. The commercial use of transgenic technology in soybean has become a classical example of the application of biotechnology to crop improvement. Although genetically modified soybeans have achieved commercial success, hybrid soybean breeding is also a potential way to increase soybean yield. Soybean cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) lines have been used in three-line hybrid breeding systems, but their application to exploiting soybean heterosis has been limited by rare germplasm resource of sterile lines. The generation of various genetic diversity male-sterile soybean lines will help to overcome the shortcoming. In this study, we used targeted editing of AMS homologs in soybean by CRISPR/Cas9 technology for the first time to generate stable male-sterile lines. Targeted editing of GmAMS1 resulted in a male-sterile phenotype, while editing of GmAMS2 failed to produce male-sterile lines. GmAMS1 functions not only in the formation of the pollen wall but also in the controlling the degradation of the soybean tapetum. CRISPR/Cas9 technology could be used to rapidly produce stable male-sterile lines, providing new sterile-line materials for soybean hybrid breeding systems.

    Abstract Abstract: Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of esmolol (ES) on LPS-induced cardiac injury and the possible mechanism. Methods: Sepsis was induced by i.p. injection of LPS (10 mg/kg) in male Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated with ES, 3-methyladenine or rapamycin. The severity of myocardial damage was analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and myocardial damage scores were calculated. The concentration of cardiac troponin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of autophagy-related proteins (beclin-1, LC3-II, p-AMPK, p-ULK1, p-mTOR) in myocardial tissue was detected by Western blotting. Autophagosome formation and the ultrastructural damage of mitochondria were assessed using transmission electron microscopy. Results: LPS induced an increase in myocardial damage score in a time-dependent manner, accompanied with an increase in autophagy at 3 h and decrease in autophagy at 6, 12, and 24 h. Pretreatment of LPS-treated rats with ES or rapamycin reduced myocardial injury (release of cardiac troponin, myocardial damage score) and increased autophagy (LC3-II, beclin-1, p-AMPK, and p-ULK1 levels and autophagosome numbers) at 12 and 24 h. In contrast, 3-methyladenine showed no effect. Conclusion: Esmolol alleviates LPS-induced myocardial damage through activating the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 signal pathway-regulated autophagy.

    Abstract Plant height and flowering time are important agronomic traits that directly affect soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] adaptability and yield. Here, the Glycine max long internode 1 (Gmlin1) mutant was selected from an ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS)-mutated Williams 82 population due to its long internodes and early flowering. Using bulked segregant analysis (BSA), the Gmlin1 locus was mapped to Glyma.02G304700, a homologue of the Arabidopsis HY2 gene, which encodes a phytochromobilin (PΦB) synthase involved in phytochrome chromophore synthesis. Mutation of GmHY2a results in failure of the de-etiolation response under both red and far-red light. The Gmlin1 mutant exhibits a constitutive shade avoidance response under normal light, and the mutations influence the auxin and gibberellin pathways to promote internode elongation. The Gmlin1 mutant also exhibits decreased photoperiod sensitivity. In addition, the soybean photoperiod repressor gene E1 is down-regulated in the Gmlin1 mutant, resulting in accelerated flowering. The nuclear import of phytochrome A (GmphyA) and GmphyB following light treatment is decreased in Gmlin1 protoplasts, indicating that the weak light response of the Gmlin1 mutant is caused by a decrease in functional phytochrome. Together, these results indicate that GmHY2a plays an important role in soybean phytochrome biosynthesis and provide insights into the adaptability of the soybean plant.
