Lipid profiles in the cerebrospinal fluid of rats with 6-hydroxydopamine-induced lesions as a model of Parkinson’s disease

BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with characteristic pathological abnormalities, including the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons, a dopamine-depleted striatum, and microglial activation. Lipid accumulation exhibits a close relationship with these pathologies in PD.MethodsHere, 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) was used to construct a rat model of PD, and the lipid profile in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from model rats was analyzed using lipidomic approaches.ResultsEstablishment of this PD model was confirmed by apomorphine-induced rotation behaviors, loss of DA neurons, depletion of dopamine in the striatum, and microglial activation after 6-OHDA-induced lesion generation. Unsupervised and supervised methods were employed for lipid analysis. A total of 172 lipid species were identified in CSF and subsequently classified into 18 lipid families. Lipid families, including eicosanoids, triglyceride (TG), cholesterol ester (CE), and free fatty acid (FFA), and 11 lipid species exhibited significantly altered profiles 2 weeks after 6-OHDA administration, and significant changes in eicosanoids, TG, CE, CAR, and three lipid species were noted 5 weeks after 6-OHDA administration. During the period of 6-OHDA-induced lesion formation, the lipid families and species showed concentration fluctuations related to the recovery of behavior and nigrostriatal abnormalities. Correlation analysis showed that the levels of eicosanoids, CE, TG families, and TG (16:0_20:0_18:1) exhibited positive relationships with apomorphine-induced rotation behaviors and negative relationships with tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the midbrain.ConclusionThese results revealed that non-progressive nigrostriatal degeneration induced by 6-OHDA promotes the expression of an impairment-related lipidomic signature in CSF, and the level of eicosanoids, CE, TG families, and TG (16:0_20:0_18:1) in CSF may reveal pathological changes in the midbrain after 6-OHDA insult

Human trajectory prediction based on multi-sensor fusion

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the robotic technology and the market of autonomous driving have been widely developed. It is expected that the autonomous vehicle can analyze the behavior of the pedestrian and predict their future trajectory in order to plan its own behavior safely and efficiently. This dissertation proposes an algorithm for predicting future human positions based on the historical positions. An unmanned ground vehicle is used as the platform that equipped with a stereo camera and a 3D LiDAR. The approach is divided by two steps: human coordinate extraction and future positions prediction. In the first step, the human coordinate model contains the human gravity coordinate and the depth information. On the one hand, the human gravity coordinate is built by calculating the average coordinate values of six key points which are gathered by implementing the pose estimation algorithm. On the other hand, the human depth information is acquired by averaging all the LiDAR depth values locating in the range of human torso. In the second step, the vector superposition method is used to predict the future positions of the pedestrian. In this experiment, a video dataset is collected which has several scenes of pedestrian movement in a first-person perspective. As a result, this dissertation builds a future position prediction system and a safety distance warning system, which shows satisfactory results in general pedestrian scenes.Master of Science (Computer Control and Automation

Fibrinogen is an independent preoperative predictor of hospital length of stay among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting

Abstract Objective This study aims to examine the impact of preoperative fibrinogen concentration on the short-term outcomes and hospital length of stay (LOS) of patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Methods Between January 2010 and June 2022, a retrospective analysis comprised 633 patients who sequentially received isolated, primary CABG. These patients were categorized into normal fibrinogen group (fibrinogen < 3.5 g/L) and high fibrinogen group (fibrinogen ≥ 3.5 g/L) according to preoperative fibrinogen concentration. The primary outcome was LOS. To correct for confounding and investigate the effect of preoperative fibrinogen concentration on the short-term outcomes and LOS, we employed propensity score matching (PSM). The correlation between fibriongen concentration and LOS in subgroups was examined using subgroup analysis. Results We categorized 344 and 289 patients in the “normal fibrinogen group” and “high fibrinogen group”, respectively. After PSM, compared to the normal fibrinogen group, the high fibrinogen group had a longer LOS [12.00 (9.00–15.00) vs. 13.00 (10.00–16.00), P = 0.028] and higher incidence of postoperative renal impairment [49 (22.1%) vs. 72 (32.4%), P = 0.014]. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or non-CPB CABG patients showed similar correlations between various fibrinogen concentrations and LOS, according to subgroup analyses. Conclusions Fibrinogen is an independent preoperative predictor of both the LOS and the postoperative renal impairment that occurs after CABG. Patients with high preoperative fibrinogen concentration had a higher incidence of postoperative renal impairment and a longer LOS, emphasizing the significance of preoperative fibrinogen management

Regulating the N‑Coordination Structure of Fe–Fe Dual Sites as the Electrocatalyst for the O₂ Reduction Reaction in Metal–Air Batteries

Iron–nitrogen coordinated catalysts are regarded as efficient catalysts for the oxygen (O2) reduction reaction (ORR), wherein the coordination environment of Fe sites is critical to the catalytic activity. Herein, we explored the effect of the nitrogen-coordination structure of dual-atomic Fe2 sites (i.e., Fe2-N6-C and Fe2-N4-C) on the performance of the ORR. The half-wave potential (E1/2) of Fe2-N6-C is 0.880 V vs RHE, outperforming that of the tetracoordinate Fe2-N4-C (0.851 V) and commercial Pt/C (0.850 V) in alkaline electrolytes. The Fe2-N6-C-based zinc–air battery delivers a maximum power density of (258.6 mW/cm2) and superior durability under 10 mA/cm2. Theoretical calculations unveil that the moieties of Fe2-N6 profits the d-electron rearrangement of the Fe2 sites. The electronic and geometrical structure of Fe2-N6 promotes the O2 molecules adsorbed on the Fe2 site and reduces the dissociation energy barrier of O2, benefiting fracture of O–O bonds and acceleration of the transformation of O2 to *OOH (the first step of the ORR process). Such exploration of modulating the local N-coordination environment of Fe2 dimers paves an in-depth insight to design and optimize dual-atomic catalysts

The role of domain alterations in F1Fo-ATPase dysfunction associated to neurodegenerative diseases

Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to degeneration in the central nervous system. F1Fo-ATPase catalyzes most of the intracellular ATP synthesis which plays an essential role in cellular energy supply. The dimerized assembly of F1Fo-ATPase underlies the rotational catalytic function and regulates the mechanisms of oxidative phosphorylation. F1Fo-ATPase dysfunction is involved in a variety of neurological diseases, including epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson’s disease. Dysregulated expression, activity, and localization of F1Fo-ATPase subunits and the interactions with pathogenic proteins result in decreased F1Fo-ATPase activity and ATP production, and aggravated oxidative stress
