ABSTRACT Athletes’ psychological control ability directly affects competitions. Therefore, it is necessary to supervise the athletes’ game psychology. Athletes’ game state supervision model is constructed through the facial information extraction algorithm. The homography matrix and the calculation method are introduced. Then, two methods are introduced to solve the rotation matrix from the homography matrix. After the rotation matrix is solved, the method of obtaining the facial rotation angle from the rotation matrix is introduced. The two methods are compared in the simulation data, and the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm are analyzed to determine the method used in this paper. The experimental results show that the model prediction accuracy reaches 70%, which can effectively supervise the psychological state of athletes. This research study is of great significance to improve the performance of athletes in competitions and improve the application of back propagation (BP) neural network algorithm.

BACKGROUND: Minority drug resistance mutations (DRMs) that are often missed by Sanger sequencing are clinically significant, as they can cause virologic failure in individuals treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) drugs. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of minor DRMs among patients enrolled in a Malawi HIV drug resistance monitoring survey at baseline and at one year after initiation of ART. METHODS: Forty-one plasma specimens collected from HIV-1 subtype C-positive patients and seven clonal control samples were analysed using ultra-deep sequencing technology. RESULTS: Deep sequencing identified all 72 DRMs detected by Sanger sequencing at the level of ≥20% and 79 additional minority DRMs at the level of < 20% from the 41 Malawian clinical specimens. Overall, DRMs were detected in 85% of pre-ART and 90.5% of virologic failure patients by deep sequencing. Among pre-ART patients, deep sequencing identified a statistically significant higher prevalence of DRMs to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) compared with Sanger sequencing. The difference was mainly due to the high prevalence of minority K65R and M184I mutations. Most virologic failure patients harboured DRMs against both NRTIs and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). These minority DRMs contributed to the increased or enhanced virologic failures in these patients. CONCLUSION: The results revealed the presence of minority DRMs to NRTIs and NNRTIs in specimens collected at baseline and virologic failure time points. These minority DRMs not only increased resistance levels to NRTIs and NNRTIs for the prescribed ART, but also expanded resistance to additional major first-line ART drugs. This study suggested that drug resistance testing that uses more sensitive technologies, is needed in this setting.

ABSTRACT Photosynthesis is the basis of maize (Zea mays L.) grain formation. To further understand the genetic basis of maize photosynthetic parameters and clarify the relationship between maize photosynthetic parameters and grain yield (GY), identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying photosynthetic parameters and GY plays an important role in improving maize yield. In this study, a set of 260 maize accessions from different geographic origins were evaluated across three developmental stages in 2 yr to identify QTLs for photosynthetic parameters and grain yield using 2824 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) via genome-wide association analysis. The analysis revealed that maize photosynthetic parameters are substantially correlated with GY at different developmental stages. Fourteen SNPs associated with photosynthetic parameters and GY were detected at the threshold of P ≤ 0.001 in 2 yr as well as over years. Moreover, PZE-102116144 and SYN35048 associated with stomatal conductance (gs), and PZE-101152541 associated with photosynthetic rate (PN), were identified at different developmental stages. Four loci were co-associated with two or more traits, such as PZE-101152541 was significantly co-associated with GY and PN (at 25 and 35 d after pollination [DAP]), PZE-102116144 with GY, gs (at 15 and 25 DAP), and PN (at 25 DAP), PZE-109061997 with intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) (at 25 DAP) and transpiration rate (Tr) (at 25 DAP), PZE-110019199 with gs (at 25 DAP) and GY. Based on functional annotations, two genes were considered as potential candidate genes for the identified SNPs (PZE-101152541 and PZE-109016787). The SNPs and candidate genes identified in this study might provide instrumental information for understanding the genetic mechanism of maize photosynthetic parameters and yield.

Objective To examine the extent to which effective interventions to prevent unintentional child injury are reflected in the laws and regulations of China. Methods We focused on the six common causes of fatal child injuries – drowning, road traffic injury, falls, poisoning, burns and suffocation. We investigated 27 interventions recommended by the United Nations Children’s Fund, the World Health Organization or the European Child Safety Alliance. We searched China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Lawyee for Chinese legislations using keywords and synonyms for the 27 interventions. We reviewed the identified legislations for statements specifying the responsible implementation department. Findings Seven national laws, nine regulations of the State Council and 46 departmental regulations were found to relate to at least one of the interventions. Although seven of the 27 internationally recommended interventions were covered by Chinese laws, 10 were not covered by any current Chinese law or regulation. None of the interventions against drowning and falls that we investigated was covered by national laws. The implementation responsibilities for effective interventions were either not specified or were assigned to multiple governmental departments in 11 or 20 legislative documents, respectively. Conclusion In Chinese laws and regulations, interventions proven to prevent major causes of unintentional child injuries are underrepresented and the associated implementation responsibilities are often poorly defined. China should include all such interventions in laws and regulations, and assign implementation responsibility for each to a single department of the national government.

Resumen Objetivo Examinar en qué grado contemplan las leyes y normativas de China las intervenciones efectivas para prevenir lesiones accidentales de niños. Métodos El estudio se centró en las seis causas comunes de lesiones mortales infantiles: ahogamiento, lesiones por accidentes de tráfico, caídas, envenenamiento, quemaduras y asfixia. Se investigaron 27 intervenciones recomendadas por el Fondo para la Infancia de las Naciones Unidas, la Organización Mundial de la Salud o la Alianza Europea para la Seguridad Infantil. A continuación, se realizaron búsquedas de legislaciones de China en las bases de datos China National Knowledge Infrastructure y Lawyee usando palabras claves y sinónimos de las 27 intervenciones. Por último, se revisaron las legislaciones identificadas a fin de buscar declaraciones que especificaran el departamento responsable de la aplicación. Resultados Se halló que siete leyes nacionales, nueve normativas del Consejo de Estado y 46 normativas departamentales estaban relacionadas con al menos una de las intervenciones. Aunque las leyes de China abarcaban siete de las 27 intervenciones que se recomiendan a nivel internacional, diez de ellas no estaban incluidas en ninguna normativa o ley actual de China. Las leyes nacionales no abarcaban ninguna de las intervenciones contra ahogamientos y caídas investigadas. Las responsabilidades de aplicación de intervenciones efectivas no estaban especificadas o estaban asignadas a varios departamentos gubernamentales en 11 o 20 documentos legislativos, respectivamente. Conclusión En las leyes y normativas de China, las intervenciones que han demostrado la prevención de lesiones infantiles no intencionadas están subrepresentadas y las responsabilidades de aplicación asociadas a menudo tienen una definición vaga. China debe incluir todas estas intervenciones en las leyes y normativas, así como asignar la responsabilidad de aplicación de cada una a un único departamento del gobierno nacional.

Salt stress is one of the severest growth limited-factors to agriculture production. To gain in-depth knowledge of salt-stress response mechanisms, the proteomics analysis from two maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines was carried out using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS). There were 57 salt-regulated proteins identified, 21 and 36 proteins were differentially regulated in inbred lines ’Nongda 1145’ (salt-resistant) and ’D340’ (salt-sensitive), respectively. The identified proteins were distributed in 11 biological processes and seven molecular functions. Under salt stress, proteins related to antioxidation and lignin synthesis were increased in both inbred lines. The relative abundance of proteins involved in translation initiation, elongation, and protein proteolysis increased in ’Nongda 1145’ and decreased in ’D340’. In addition, the abundance of proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism, protein refolding, ATP synthase and transcription differed between the two inbred lines. Our results suggest that the enhanced ability of salt-tolerant inbred line ’Nongda 1145’ to combat salt stress occurs via regulation of transcription factors promoting increased antioxidation and lignin biosynthesis, enhanced energy production, and acceleration of protein translation and protein proteolysis.

OBJECTIVES: Tumor-associated macrophages that generally exhibit an alternatively activated (M2) phenotype have been linked to tumor progression and metastasis. However, the role of M2-polarized macrophages in the growth and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma remains enigmatic. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of M2 macrophages on the proliferation and migration of mouse Lewis lung carcinoma cells and tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis. METHODS: Trypan blue staining and the Transwell migration assay were performed to evaluate the effects of activated (M1 or M2) macrophages on the proliferation and migration of Lewis cells. Furthermore, vascular endothelial growth factor-C expression in Lewis cells and nitric oxide secretion from activated macrophages were detected during the co-culture assay. Following treatment with activated macrophages, lymphatic endothelial cells differentiated into capillary-like structures, and the induction of Lewis cell migration was assessed using a twodimensional Matrigel-based assay. RESULTS: In the co-culture Transwell system, the proliferation and migration of Lewis cells were promoted by M2 macrophages. Moreover, the co-culture significantly increased the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C by Lewis cells and reduced the secretion of nitric oxide from M2 macrophages, which subsequently led to the capillary morphogenesis of lymphatic endothelial cells. Interestingly, following co-culture with Lewis cells, the function of RAW264.7 cells was polarized toward that of the M2 macrophage phenotype. CONCLUSION: M2-polarized macrophages promoted the metastatic behavior of Lewis cells by inducing vascular endothelial growth factor-C expression. Thus, the interruption of signaling between M2 macrophages and Lewis cells may be considered to be a new therapeutic strategy.

Representative strains of Serratia marcescens from an edible cactus plant and silkworms were characterized and a comparison based on their cellular fatty acid composition, 16S rRNA and groE gene sequence analysis as well as silkworm virulence and chitosan susceptibility was carried out. Results from this study indicate that there are no significant differences between the phenotypic and molecular characterization, virulence and chitosan susceptibility of the S. marcescens strains from the cactus plant and silkworms. Silkworms inoculated with S. marcescens from either plant or silkworm resulted in nearly 100% mortality. Chitosan solution exhibited strong antibacterial activity against S. marcescens. This activity increased with the increase of chitosan concentration and incubation time regardless of the strain source. Also, the results indicate that the plant associated S. marcescens maybe plays a possible role in the contamination of humans and animals, in particular silkworms, while chitosan showed a potential to control the contamination caused by S. marcescens.

OBJECTIVES: Tumor-associated macrophages have been implicated in promoting tumor growth, progression and metastasis. However, the activated phenotype (M1 or M2) of tumor-associated macrophages remains unknown in solid tumors. Therefore, this study examined the density and prognostic significance of M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Tumor specimens from 65 lung adenocarcinoma patients were assessed by ELISA for Th1/Th2 cytokine concentrations. The activated phenotype (M1 or M2) of tumor-associated macrophages was determined utilizing immunofluorescence staining. Additionally, to evaluate lymphangiogenesis, peritumoral lymphatic microvessel density was measured using D2-40. The correlation between tumor-associated macrophage subtype and overall patient survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS: A shift toward Th2 cytokine expression was detected within lung adenocarcinoma microenvironments. Approximately 79.71±16.27% of tumor-associated macrophages were M2 polarized; the remaining 20.35±5.31% were M1 polarized. The infiltration of M2-polarized macrophages was significantly associated with P-TNM staging and lymph node metastasis. The peritumoral lymphatic microvessel density was significantly higher in the high M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophage group than in the low M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophage group. A significant difference in overall patient survival was detected not only between patients with tumors with high and low macrophage counts but also between patients with tumors with high and low counts of M2-polarized macrophages. CONCLUSION: Tumor-associated macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma have an M2-polarized subtype and are associated with poor prognoses, perhaps resulting from accelerated lymphangiogenesis and lymph node metastasis.
