A lightweight verifiable outsourced decryption of attribute-based encryption scheme for blockchain-enabled wireless body area network in fog computing by Rui Guo, Chaoyuan Zhuang, Huixian Shi, Yinghui Zhang, Dong Zheng

“…The proposal provides the verifiability of ciphertext that ensures the user to check the correctness efficiently. (2) The size of the ciphertext is constant that is not increased with the complexity of attribute and access structure. (3) For Internet of Things devices, it introduces the fog computing into our protocol for the purpose of low latency and relation interactions, which has virtually saved the bandwidth. (4) With the help of blockchain technique, we encapsulate the hash value of public parameter, original and transformed ciphertext and transformed key into a block, so that the tamper-resistance is facilitated against an adversary from inside and outside the system. (5) In the standard model, we prove that it is selectively chosen-plaintext attack-secure and verifiable provided that the computational bilinear Diffie–Hellman assumption holds. (6) It implements this protocol and shows the result of performance measurement, which indicates a significant reduction on communication and computation costs burden on every entity in wireless body area network.…”

Expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha and kidney injury molecule-1 in the kidney and serum of rats subjected to acute renal ischemic reperfusion injury by YAN Cheng-cheng, JING San-hui, ZHANG Qian, WU Ge

“…Objective To observe the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),and kidney injury molecule-1(Kim-1)in the kidney tissues and serum of rats subjected to acute renal ischemic reperfusion injury.Methods Ninety-six SD male rats were randomly divided into Sham group(n=48)and ischemic/reperfusion group(I/R,n=48).The bilateral arteries were blocked to make the IR models.Eight rats from the two groups were randomly selected 2,6,12,24,48 and 72 h after the surgery,and the blood and renal cortex collected.Serum nitrogen and creatinine were evaluated by biochemical autoanalyzer.The concentrations of TNF-α and Kim-1 were measured by ELISA.The TNF-α and Kim-1 expression in kidney tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results As compared with Sham group,the BUN and SCr began to increase in I/R group at 6 h after I-R(for BUN,50.8±6.8 vs.79.6±8.8 μmol/L,and for SCr,(4.7±0.5)vs.(9.3±1.6)mmol/L,P<0.05 for both).ELISA revealed that the serum TNF-α and Kim-1 were increased at 2 h after I/R in I/R group as compared with Sham group(for TNF-α,944.2±68.3 vs.843.0±60.5;for Kim-1,1081.3±126.2 vs.453.7±56.4,P<0.05 for both),which reached a peak at 48 h after reperfusion,but TNF-α was decreased obviously after 72 h(3 094.4±230.5),and Kim-1 was kept the highest level from 48 to 72 h.Immunohistochemistry showed that TNF-a and Kim-1 were mainly expressed on the tubular area and increased significantly at 12 h after I/R Conclusions Serum TNF-α and Kim-1 might be appropriate biological markers of acute kidney injury,and Kim-1 might be better.…”
