采用改进的主动轮廓模型算法,实现从蝴蝶兰花簇图像中提取单个花朵图像,为自动识别蝴蝶兰的生长状态奠定基础。首先利用改进的骨架算法和轮廓重生算法,生成蝴蝶兰花簇的初始轮廓;然后利用含有形状能量的主动轮廓模型进行轮廓的演化,使其更接近真实的蝴蝶兰花簇边缘,最后根据蝴蝶兰花蕊位置获得相应的蝴蝶兰花朵。实例验证和比对实验结果表明,该模型能够较好的分割和提取蝴蝶兰花簇中单个花朵,并具有较强的抗噪能力。利用该方法,可以较好的提取蝴蝶兰花簇中的单个花朵,与人工提取效果进行比对,正确率达到了91.5%。     

A New Inductor Series-Peaking Technique for Bandwidth Enhancement of CMOS Current-Mode Circuits

This paper introduces a new inductor series-peaking technique for bandwidth enhancement of low-voltage CMOS current-mode circuits. The peaking inductor is in series with the capacitor constituting the dominant pole. It boosts the bandwidth by utilizing the resonance characteristics of LC networks. To reduce the value of the peaking inductor, a new negative current-current feedback mechanism is proposed. The employment of both inductive peaking and current feedback further increases the bandwidth. Both the inductor series-peaking and the current-current feedback do not affect the supply voltage and DC biasing conditions. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that a significant bandwidth enhancement is achieved.     

“Click handle”-modified 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoroarabino nucleic acid as a synthetic genetic polymer capable of post-polymerization functionalization

The functions of natural nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA have transcended genetic information carriers and now encompass affinity reagents, molecular catalysts, nanostructures, data storage, and many others. However, the vulnerability of natural nucleic acids to nuclease degradation and the lack of chemical functionality have imposed a significant constraint on their ever-expanding applications. Herein, we report the synthesis and polymerase recognition of a 5-(octa-1,7-diynyl)uracil 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoroarabinonucleic acid (FANA) triphosphate. The DNA-templated, polymerase-mediated primer extension using this “click handle”-modified FANA (cmFANA) triphosphate and other FANA nucleotide triphosphates consisting of canonical nucleobases efficiently generated full-length products. The resulting cmFANA polymers exhibited excellent nuclease resistance and the ability to undergo efficient click conjugation with azide-functionalized molecules, thereby becoming a promising platform for serving as a programmable and evolvable synthetic genetic polymer capable of post-polymerization functionalization.

Polymerase-mediated incorporation of a “click handle”-modified fluoroarabinonucleic acid (cmFANA) triphosphate produces a new class of nuclease-resistant, evolvable genetic polymers that can be functionalized with azide-containing molecules.

Synthesis and Anti-Neuroinflammatory Activity of 1,7-diphenyl-1,4-heptadien-3-ones in LPS-Stimulated BV2 Microglia Via Inhibiting NF-κB/MAPK Signaling Pathways

A series of 1,7-diphenyl-1,4-heptadien-3-ones with various substituents (HO-, CH₃O-, CH₃-, Cl-) on the phenyl rings were synthesized and evaluated for anti-neuroinflammatory effects in LPS-stimulated BV2 microglia. The pharmacological results showed that the target compounds bearing methoxy groups greatly inhibited LPS-induced NO release, and that the active compounds CU-19 and CU-21 reduced the level of NO, TNF-α, IL-6 and PGE-2, downregulated the expression of COX-2 and iNOS in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells. A study of the mechanism of action revealed that CU-19 and CU-21 inhibited the nuclear translocation of NF-κB and phosphorylation of MAPKs (ERK, JNK, and p38). A preliminary pharmacokinetic study in rats revealed that the pharmacokinetic properties of CU-19 and CU-21 were dramatically ameliorated in comparison with the pharmacokinetic properties of curcumin.     

Design,Synthesis, and In Vitro and In Vivo Antifungal Activity of Novel Triazoles Containing Phenylethynyl Pyrazole Side Chains

A series of triazole derivatives containing phenylethynyl pyrazole moiety as side chain were designed, synthesized, and most of them exhibited good in vitro antifungal activities. Especially, compounds 5k and 6c showed excellent in vitro activities against C. albicans (MIC = 0.125, 0.0625 μg/mL), C. neoformans (MIC = 0.125, 0.0625 μg/mL), and A. fumigatus (MIC = 8.0, 4.0 μg/mL). Compound 6c also exerted superior activity to compound 5k and fluconazole in inhibiting hyphae growth of C. albicans and inhibiting drug-resistant strains of C. albicans, and it could reduce fungal burdens in mice kidney at a dosage of 1.0 mg/kg. An in vivo efficacy evaluation indicated that 6c could effectively protect mice models from C. albicans infection at doses of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/kg. These results suggested that compound 6c deserves further investigation.

Genetically engineered materials: Proteins and beyond

Information-rich molecules provide opportunities for evolution. Genetically engineered materials are superior in that their properties are coded within genetic sequences and could be fine-tuned. In this review, we elaborate the concept of genetically engineered materials(GEMs) using examples ranging from engineered protein materials to engineered living materials. Proteinbased materials are the materials of choice by nature. Recent progress in protein engineering has led to opportunities to tune...
