Dietary fatty acids regulate cholesterol induction of liver CYP7α1 expression and bile acid production

In the present study we investigated the effects of dietary fats containing predominantly PUFA, monounsaturated FA (MUFA), or saturated FA (SFA) on lipid profile and liver cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7α1) mRNA expression and bile acid production in C57BL/6J mice. The animals (n=75) were randomly divided into five groups and fed a basic chow diet (AIN-93G) (BC diet), a chow diet with 1g/100g of cholesterol (Chol diet), a chow diet with 1g/100g of cholesterol and 14g/100g of safflower oil (Chol+PUFA diet), a chow diet with 1g/100g of cholesterol and olive oil (Chol+MUFA diet), or a chow diet with 1g/100g of cholesterol and myristic acid (Chol+SFA diet) for 6 wk. The results showed that the Chol+SFA diet decreased CYP7α1 gene expression and bile acid pool size, resulting in increased blood and liver cholesterol levels. Addition of PUFA and MUFA to a 1% cholesterol diet increased the bile acid pool production or bile acid excretion and simultaneously decreased liver cholesterol accumulation despite decreased CYP7α1 mRNA expression. The results indicate that the decreased bile acid pool size induced by the SFA diet is related to inhibition of the liver CYP7α1 gene expression, but an increased bile acid pool size and improved cholesterol homeostasis are disassociated from the liver CYP7α1 gene expression.     

Electrosyntheses and characterization of poly(5‐bromoindole) in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate

Poly(5‐bromoindole) (PBrI) films were synthesized electrochemically by direct oxidation of 5‐bromoindole in pure boron trifluoride diethyl etherate. The oxidation potential of 5‐bromoindole in this medium was measured to be only 0.97 V vs. saturated calomel electrode, which was lower than that determined in acetonitrile + 0.1 mol L^?1 Bu₄NBF₄ (1.08 V). PBrI films obtained from this medium showed good electrochemical behavior and good thermal stability. Structural studies showed that the polymerization of 5‐bromoindole ring occurred at 2,3 position. As‐formed PBrI films were thoroughly soluble in strong polar solvent dimethylsulfoxide and partly soluble in tetrahydrofuran. Fluorescent spectral studies indicated that PBrI was a good blue‐light emitter. The excitation and emission spectra of PBrI showed a significant shift to longer wavelength compared with that of the monomer, consistent with the greater extent of electron delocalization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

结构性土二元介质模型的有限元模拟

针对土的结构性对边坡稳定性的影响,结构性土二元介质模型将胶结元看成理想弹脆性材料,摩擦元看成硬化型弹塑性材料。基于该模型建立考虑结构性土的强度准则,编制相应有限元程序用于Biot固结的有限元模拟。通过对比初始各向同性和初始应力各向异性结构性土的天然边坡算例计算结果,发现初始应力各向异性天然边坡的安全系数要高于初始均质天然边坡;嵌入初始应力各向异性结构性土的强度准则后可以观察计算过程中边坡破坏区的发展,为采用破坏区贯通作为边坡的破坏标准的天然边坡的稳定性分析提供了一种新的思路且具有良好的工程适用性。

Learning high-dimensional correspondence via manifold learning and local approximation

The recent years have witnessed a surge of interests of learning high-dimensional correspondence, which is important for both machine learning and neural computation community. Manifold learning–based researches have been considered as one of the most promising directions. In this paper, by analyzing traditional methods, we summarized a new framework for high-dimensional correspondence learning. Within this framework, we also presented a new approach, Local Approximation Maximum Variance Unfolding. Compared with other machine learning–based methods, it could achieve higher accuracy. Besides, we also introduce how to use the proposed framework and methods in a concrete application, cross-system personalization (CSP). Promising experimental results on image alignment and CSP applications are proposed for demonstration.
