Impaired immunoproteasomal function exacerbates renal ischemia-reperfusion injury by Yasushi Ishii, Aya Fukui-Miyazaki, Sari Iwasaki, Takahiro Tsuji, Kiyohiko Hotta, Hajime Sasaki, Shimpei Nakagawa, Takuma Yoshida, Eri Murata, Koji Taniguchi, Nobuo Shinohara, Akihiro Ishizu, Masanori Kasahara, Utano Tomaru

“…Oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is involved in the pathogenesis of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R injury), a major cause of acute kidney injury and delayed graft function (DGF). DGF is an early transplant complication that worsens graft prognosis and patient survival, but the underlying molecular changes are unclear. …”

Functional complementarity relationship enhanced cloud API recommendation method by Zhen CHEN, Wenhui CHEN, Xiaowei LIU, Dianlong YOU, Linlin LIU, Limin SHEN

“…Current cloud application program interface (API) recommendation methods mainly use similarity calculation or historical calls of Mashup to generate recommendation results, while ignoring the beneficial functional complementarity (FC) between Mashup and cloud API.To address the above issue, a FC relationship enhanced cloud API recommendation approach was proposed.Firstly, label co-occurrence was applied to describe the FC relationship.Then, the FC score was calculated to describe the degree of FC between the cloud API and the Mashup, and the FC vector was learned to describe the potential FC relationship.Based on this, FC scores and FC vectors were embedded into the cloud API recommendation model, so that FC relationship played a key role in the cloud API recommendation process.Experiments were conducted on real-world cloud API datasets, and the AUC, F1 and HR@5 of the proposed approach improved by an average of 2.32%, 1.86% and 9.15%, respectively, in the sparse scenario.Finally, the proposed approach can improve the accuracy of cloud API recommendation results, while improving the recommendation performance of long-tail cloud API.…”

Function of manchette and intra-manchette transport in spermatogenesis and male fertility by Tingting Gao, Yang Liu, Jie Li, Yvxia Zhang, Bin Wu

“…In this review, we systematically described the assembly and disassembly of the manchette, intra-manchette transport (IMT) and its regulatory model, the function and mechanism of manchette and IMT in regulating sperm head shaping and flagellar assembly during spermatogenesis; summarized the research progress of manchette-related genes related to male infertility; and listed the manchette-related proteins in knockout mouse models and clinical cases, which provide the theoretical basis for an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism of manchette involved in spermatogenesis and male fertility for understanding the potentially developing treatments for infertility and reproductive disorders.…”

Propofol Induces Postoperative Depression and Inhibits Microglial Function in Mice by Feng Song, Xiao Lv, Jing Meng

“…We also examined the brain section of these mice and revealed that there was significant reduced expression of the CD11b protein, which demonstrated an inhibition of propofol on microglial function. We investigated the effect of propofol on synaptic protein, SYP, and found there was no notable influence on the protein expression. …”
