结合网格保刚性的多目的地地图布局优化方法
针对当前多目的地地图生成方法存在布局优化和时间复杂度过高的问题,提出了一种基于保刚性变形的多目的地地图自动生成方法.首先用户选择感兴趣的多个目的地,系统自动选择出与用户指定的目的地最相关的道路网信息,生成上下文区域和关注区域的Delaunay三角网格;然后通过对关注区域凸包点的操作来调整道路细节信息的显示比例,并于每一次凸包点调整后在上下文区域的三角网格作保刚性处理,使得该区域的道路拓扑结构尽量保持不变;同时保证该区域路网的细节清晰地显示.在若干OpenStreetMap地图上的实验结果表明,该方法能快速生成多目的地地图,生成的地图在保持输入地图总体拓扑结构的同时,也优化了地图上目的地区域道路的布局;使得用户可以在有限显示空间内能够浏览地图的全局信息和详细的局部地图信息.国家自然科学基金(61772440,61728206);;光电控制技术重点实验室和航空科学基金联合资助(20165168007);;浙江大学CAD&CG国家重点实验室开放课题(A1706

Effect of experimental infection with Vibrio alginolyticus on immune parameters of Pseudosciaena crocea
为了解大黄鱼在抗溶藻弧菌感染时免疫功能的变化规律,将160尾健康大黄鱼分为感染组和对照组,通过腹腔分别注射0.2mL浓度为2×107CFU.mL-1的溶藻弧菌和灭菌生理盐水,在注射0,1,3,7,11,15,19d后从两组各取6尾大黄鱼,尾静脉取血,进行外周血的血相、NBT阳性细胞数、血清抗菌活力、抗体效价等免疫学指标的测定。结果显示:在人工感染的初期,感染组大黄鱼外周血的红细胞、白细胞、淋巴细胞和NBT阳性细胞的数量及血清抗菌活力等指标均较对照组有显著提高;在注射后1d外周血粒细胞的数量显著低于对照组;抗体效价在7d开始增加,15d达到峰值,且用间接ELISA和试管凝集两种方法所得结果具有非常高的同步性。结果表明:在感染溶藻弧菌后,大黄鱼能通过红细胞和白细胞增殖、释放抗菌物质、产生特异性抗体等方式提高其对溶藻弧菌的免疫力;在感染的早期阶段非特异性免疫因子起主要作用,在感染后期阶段特异性免疫因子起重要作用;NBT阳性细胞数可以作为细菌感染的指标。To investigate the effect of experimental infection with Vibrio alginolyticus on immune parameters of Pseudosciaena crocea,one hundred and sixty healthy fish were categorized into infected and control groups.Each fish in infected group was injected intraperitoneally with 0.2 mL of bacteria suspension with a concentration of 2×107 CFU·mL-1,while each fish in control group was injected i.p.with 0.2 mL of sterile saline solution. P.crocea in both groups were sacrificed at 0,1,3,7,11,15 and 19 d post-injection to evaluate immune parameters such as haematocyte counting,NBT-positive cells,serum antibacterial activity,and serum antibody titer.The results showed that: experimental infection with V.alginolyticus would increase the numbers of erythrocytes,leucocytes,lymphocytes in peripheral blood as well as peripheral serum antibacterial activity and antibody titer of P.crocea,and reduce peripheral blood granulocytes number significantly,in comparison with those in control group.These results suggested that after infected by V.alginolyticus,P.crocea would enhance its resistance to the invaded bacteria by means such as erythrocyte and leucocyte proliferating,antibacterial substance excreting,antibodies synthesizing;non-specific immune factors including antibacterial substance in peripheral blood played an important role at the initial stages of infection,and then specific immune factors such as antibody played an important role at the later stages;the number of NBT positive cell was a good indicator of bacterial infection.国家“八六三”高新技术发展计划(2002AA639600);; 福建省自然科学基金项目(B0410022);; 福建省青年创新基金项目(2002J037
Studies of the Mg-Al and Cation-Incorporated Hydrotalcites
研究了掺杂阳离子水滑石的制备及阳离子对水滑石性质的影响.分别制备了掺杂Zn2+、Ni2+、Fe3+型的水滑石,考察了掺杂阳离子对水滑石晶相结构、层间距、层间阴离子含量、水滑石表面形态、水滑石碱性的影响,结果表明,由于阳离子的引入,导致水滑石层间距减小及层间阴离子结合量降低,且使水滑石培烧产物电负性提高,并最终降低其碱性.以上述水滑石培烧产物作为固体碱催化剂促进苯甲醛和丙醛缩合,合成α-甲基肉桂醛,关联了水滑石培烧产物碱性与反应活性的关系.Mg-Al and cation-incorporated(containing Zn2+?Ni2+?Fe3+) hydrotalcites were synthesized and characterized. A detailed comparative analysis of structure and composition was made. Different cations influenced strongly textural parameters of hydrotalcites and the basicity of the obtained Mg-Al oxides after calcinations. With the cation incorporation, the distance of the brucite and the mount of CO2-3 as the compensating anion changed. Meanwhile the CO2-TPD was used to determine the basicity of the samples. The results showed that the basicity of the calcined hydrotalcites reduced. Finally, the activated hydrotalcite catalysts may efficiently replace homogeneous catalysts in Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction of the benzaldehyde and propanal. And it was noteworthy that the calcined cation-type(containing Zn2+?Fe3+) hydrotalcites as catalysts did not show significant activity, in agreement with their low basicity.国家自然科学基金(20203014)资助项

Synaptic protein dyshomeostasis and functional loss is an early invariant feature of
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet the unifying etiological pathway remains largely unknown.
Knowing that cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) plays critical roles in synaptic formation
and degeneration, its phosphorylation targets were re-examined in search for candidates with
direct global impacts on synaptic protein dynamics, and the associated regulatory network
was also analyzed.
Methods
Quantitative phospho-proteomics and bioinformatics analyses were performed to identify
top-ranked candidates. A series of biochemical assays were used to investigate the associated
regulatory signaling networks. Histological, electrochemical and behavioral assays were
performed in conditional knockout, shRNA-mediated knockdown and AD-related mice
models to evaluate its relevance to synaptic homeostasis and functions.
Results
Among candidates with known implications in synaptic modulations, BCL2-associated
athanogene-3 (BAG3) ranked the highest. CDK5-mediated phosphorylation on
Ser297/Ser291 (Mouse/Human) destabilized BAG3. Loss of BAG3 unleashed the selective
protein degradative function of the HSP70 machinery. In neurons, this resulted in enhanced
degradation of a number of glutamatergic synaptic proteins. Conditional neuronal knockout of
Bag3 in vivo led to impairment of learning and memory functions. In human AD and
related-mouse models, aberrant CDK5-mediated loss of BAG3 yielded similar effects on
synaptic homeostasis. Detrimental effects of BAG3 loss on learning and memory functions
were confirmed in these mice, and such were reversed by ectopic BAG3 re-expression.
Conclusions
Our results highlight that neuronal CDK5-BAG3-HSP70 signaling axis plays a critical
role in modulating synaptic homeostasis. Dysregulation of the signaling pathway directly
contributes to synaptic dysfunction and AD pathogenesis.This work was supported by the National Science Foundation in China (Grant: 31571055, 81522016, 81271421 to J.Z.; 81801337 to L.L; 81774377 and 81373999 to L.W.); Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China-Xiamen University (Grant: 20720150062, 20720180049 and 20720160075 to J.Z.); Fundamental Research Funds for Fujian Province University Leading Talents (Grant JAT170003 to L.L); Hong Kong Research Grants Council (HKUST12/CRF/13G, GRF660813, GRF16101315, AoE/M-05/12 to K.H.; GRF16103317, GRF16100718 and GRF16100219 to H.-M,C.); Offices of Provost, VPRG and Dean of Science, HKUST (VPRGO12SC02 to K.H.); Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Improvement on Competitiveness in Hiring New Faculty Funding Scheme (Ref. 133), CUHK Faculty Startup Fund and Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellowship (AARF-17-531566) to H.-M, C.
