Effects of triazolodiazepine on the production of interleukin-6 from murine spleen cells and rabbit synovial cells in vitro

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates the immune response, acute phase anaphylactic reaction, and haematopoiesis. Lipopolysaccharide (6–24 μg/ml) significantly induced IL-6 release from murine spleen cells. In cultured rabbit synovial cells interleukin-1 (IL-1, 1–10 U/ml) induced IL-6 production in a concentration-dependent manner. Triazolodiazepine (Tri) is a hetrazepine platelet-activating factor antagonist. In this study we found that Tri (0.1–10 μmol/l) exerted strong inhibitory effects on LPS stimulated IL-6 production in murine spleen cells. Kinetic studies showed that the inhibition of IL-6 release was time-independent. In rabbit synovial cells Tri also reduced IL-6 release induced by IL-1 and tumour necrosis factor. Inhibition of cytokine production by Tri may partially explain its wide and strong anti-inflammatory effects

Research on Beam Selection of Millimeter-Wave System based on Lens Antenna Array

To deal with issue of high hardware cost and energy consumption, beam selection is used in the lens antenna array based millimeter-Wave (mm Wave) massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system to reduce the required number of radio frequency chains. However, beam selection requires the base station to acquire the accurate channel state information. To solve this problem, we first use the structural characteristics of beamspace and adopt a Support Detection (SD) -based channel estimation scheme to estimate the large channel with lower pilot overhead and computational complexity. Then, inspired by Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm in bionics, an ACO beam selection scheme based on SD channel estimation is proposed. The scheme can not only avoid the interference of beams between users, but also maximize the system sum rate. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed scheme can obtain a near-optimal solution with significantly lower computational complexity, and it is superior to the existing schemes in improving the system sum rate
