In this study, round and cracked metal specimens, round metal specimens, and intact metal specimens were prepared. And the electromagnetic acoustic emission signals of the three specimens were collected. In addition, the local mean decomposition(LMD), Autoregressive model(AR model) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) algorithms were combined to identify the eletromagnetic acoustic emission signals of round and cracked, round, and intact specimens. According to the algorithm recognition results, the recognition accuracy of can reach above 97.5%, which has a higher recognition rate compared with SVM and BP neural network. The results of the study show that the algorithm is able to identify quickly and accurately crack defect in metal specimens.展开更多

The central molecular events underlying AD pathogenesis remain controversial and poorly defined. Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as an important genetic resource for studying the pathology of AD. Many AD models have been created using Drosophila, taking advantage of its short generation times, sophisticated genetic tools, and abundance of homologs to human genes. Purpose: This review summarizes different models for studying AD in Drosophila melanogaster, including the full-length APP, C99, Aβ42 and Tau models, explaining how the models were built and what we have learned from them. Conclusion: Four main AD Drosophila models are introduced in this review, which can serve as a future method to investigate genes and drugs that can modify symptoms.展开更多

RT-qPCR: compared with group A and group B, the expression level of ICAM-5 mRNA in the brain tissues of group C and group D decreased, while compared with group C, The expression of ICAM-5 mRNA in the brain tissue of group D was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between group A and group B (P > 0.05). <b>Conclusion:</b> The effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of ischemic stroke may achieve neuroprotection by up-regulating the expression level of ICAM-5 mRNA.展开更多

Methods: According to the block randomization method, 80 male SD rats were divided into normal group (n = 10), sham operation group (n = 24), model group (n = 23) and acupuncture group (n = 23). The normal group was bred routinely without any intervention. In the sham operation group, only the skin was cut to find and the nerves and blood vessels were stripped and sutured. The model group and the acupuncture group were sutured to prepare the MCAO model. After the model was successfully established, acupuncture of the acupuncture group rats was given once a day, and the needles were kept for 30 minutes each time. The rats in the sham operation group and the model group only imitated capture and return, and were treated with acupuncture for 2 consecutive courses, each course was 5 days, and the two courses were rested for 2 days. After that, Western blot was used to detect ERM, changes in the concentration of PI3K and Akt proteins. Results: Compared with the normal group, the expression levels of ERM, PI3K, and Akt proteins in the sham operation group were reduced. Compared with the sham operation group, the expression levels of ERM, PI3K, and Akt proteins in the model group were significantly down-regulated. Compared with the model group, the protein expression levels of ERM, PI3K and Akt were significantly up-regulated in the acupuncture group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture can significantly up-regulate the expression of ERM, PI3K and Akt proteins, and its effect mechanism may be related to the transduction of ERM/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in cells.展开更多
