Bioinformatics analysis of gene expression microarray in lupus nephritis by JIANG Qiu-zhu, YANG Hui, ZHOU Xiao-shuang

“…Objective To explore the potential pathogenesis of lupus nephritis(LN)with bioinformatics method.Methods The gene expression profiles of normal kidney tissue and LN kidney tissue were obtained by GEO database.The gene expression in the two kinds of tissues was analyzed look for differential genes.Enrichment analysis of the differential genes in the progression of LN were performed by DAVID database,and the differential genes were visualized analytically by STRING database and Cytoscape.Results 146 up-regulated genes and 28 down-regulated genes were screened out.In terms of cellular pathway,differential genes are mainly involved in type I interferon signaling pathway;in cell localization,differential genes are mainly distributed in extracellular bodies;in molecular function,differential genes are mainly related to MHC class II receptor activity.KEGG analysis showed that the differential genes were associated with the signaling pathways for influenza A virus infection,Staphylococcus aureus infection,herpes simplex virus infection,leishmaniasis and asthma.By screening it was found that IFI35,MX2,OAS3,IFI6,IRF7,OAS2,IFIT2,RSAD2,OAS1,MX1 are the core genes in the interaction network of proteins related to LN risk.Conclusions Through the analysis of the data set,the key genes in the progression of LN were found by using bioinformatics method,which provided the basis for finding some valuable LN markers.…”

Unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features by Zeyu WANG, Shuhui BU, Wei HUANG, Yuanpan ZHENG, Qinggang WU, Huawen CHANG, Xu ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problem of the distribution differences of visual, spatial, and semantic features between domains in domain adaptation, an unsupervised domain adaptation multi-level adversarial network for semantic segmentation based on multi-modal features was proposed.Firstly, an attentive fusion semantic segmentation network with three-layer structure was designed to learn the above three types of features from the source domain and target domain, respectively.Secondly, a self-supervised learning method jointing distribution confidence and semantic confidence was introduced into the single-level adversarial learning, so as to achieve the distribution alignment of more target domain pixels in the process of minimizing the distribution distance of the learnt features between domains.Finally, three adversarial branches and three adaptive sub-networks were jointly optimized by the multi-level adversarial learning method based on multi-modal features, which could effectively learn the invariant representation between domains for the features extracted from each sub-network.The experimental results show that compared with existing state-of-the-art methods, on the datasets of GTA5 to Cityscapes, SYNTHIA to Cityscapes, and SUN-RGBD to NYUD-v2 the proposed network achieves the best mean intersection over union of 62.2%, 66.9%, and 59.7%, respectively.…”
