13-Moment System with Global Hyperbolicity for Quantum Gas
We point out that the quantum Grad's 13-moment system [R. Yano, Physica A:
Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 416:231-241, 2014] is lack of
global hyperbolicity, and even worse, the thermodynamic equilibrium is not an
interior point of the hyperbolicity region of the system. To remedy this
problem, by fully considering Grad's expansion, we split the expansion into the
equilibrium part and the non-equilibrium part, and propose a regularization for
the system with the help of the new theory developed in [Z. Cai et al., SIAM J.
Appl. Math., 75(5):2001-2023, 2015, Y. Fan, J. Stat. Phys., 161(4), 2015]. This
provides us a new model which is hyperbolic for all admissible thermodynamic
states, and meanwhile preserves the approximate accuracy of the original
system. It should be noted that this procedure is not a trivial application of
the theory in [Z. Cai et al., SIAM J. Appl. Math., 75(5):2001-2023, 2015, Y.

HSP27 Alleviates Cardiac Aging in Mice via a Mechanism Involving Antioxidation and Mitophagy Activation
Aging-induced cardiac dysfunction is a prominent feature of cardiac aging. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) protects cardiac function against ischemia or chemical challenge. We hypothesized that HSP27 attenuates cardiac aging. Transgenic (Tg) mice with cardiac-specific expression of the HSP27 gene and wild-type (WT) littermates were employed in the experiments. Echocardiography revealed a significant decline in the cardiac function of old WT mice compared with young WT mice. In striking contrast, the aging-induced impairment of cardiac function was attenuated in old Tg mice compared with old WT mice. Levels of cardiac aging markers were lower in old Tg mouse hearts than in old WT mouse hearts. Less interstitial fibrosis and lower contents of reactive oxygen species and ubiquitin-conjugated proteins were detected in old Tg hearts than in old WT hearts. Furthermore, old Tg hearts demonstrated lower accumulation of LC3-II and p62 than old WT hearts. Levels of Atg13, Vps34, and Rab7 were also higher in old Tg hearts than in old WT hearts. Additionally, old Tg hearts had higher levels of PINK1 and Parkin than old WT hearts, suggesting that mitophagy was activated in old Tg hearts. Taken together, HSP27 alleviated cardiac aging and this action involved antioxidation and mitophagy activation
Continuous variable entanglement enhancement and manipulation by a sub-threshold type-II optical parametric amplifier
We experimentally demonstrate that the quantum entanglement between amplitude
and phase quadratures of optical modes produced from a non-degenerate optical
parametric amplifier (NOPA) can be enhanced and manipulated phase-sensitively
by means of another NOPA. When both NOPAs operate at de-amplification, the
entanglement degree is increased at the cavity resonance of the second NOPA.
When the first NOPA operates at de-amplification and the second one at
amplification, the spectral features of the correlation variances are
significantly changed. The experimental results are in good agreement with the
theoretical expectation
HSPA12B Attenuated Acute Myocardial Ischemia/reperfusion Injury via Maintaining Endothelial Integrity in a PI3K/Akt/mTOR-dependent Mechanism
Endothelial damage is a critical mediator of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. HSPA12B is an endothelial-cell-specifically expressed heat shock protein. However, the roles of HSPA12B in acute myocardial I/R injury is unknown. Here we reported that myocardial I/R upregulated HSPA12B expression in ventricular tissues, and endothelial overexpression of HSPA12B in transgenic mice (Tg) limited infarct size, attenuated cardiac dysfunction and improved cardiomyocyte survival compared with their wild type littermates. These improvements were accompanied with the diminished myocardial no-reflow phenomenon, decreased microvascular leakage, and better maintained endothelial tight junctions. The I/R-evoked neutrophil infiltration was also suppressed in Tg hearts compared with its wild type (WT) littermates. Moreover, Tg hearts exhibited the enhanced activation of PI3K/Akt//mTOR signaling following I/R challenge. However, pharmacological inhibition of PI3K abolished the HSPA12B-induced cardioprotection against myocardial I/R injury. The data demonstrate for the first time that the endothelial HSPA12B protected hearts against myocardial I/R injury. This cardioprotective action of HSPA12B was mediated, at least in part, by improving endothelial integrity in a PI3K/Akt/mTOR-dependent mechanism. Our study suggests that targeting endothelial HSPA12B could be an alternative approach for the management of patients with myocardial I/R injury
