The factorization of such an HDI matrix can embed the involved entities into the low-dimensional feature space for acquiring their principal representation, which is a vital task in various application scenes and is often established through the Latent Factor Analysis(LFA). Nevertheless, an HDI matrix can be huge when the corresponding application explodes to involve millions of users, items, or other interactive nodes. In this case, a parallel optimization algorithm is desired for raising the scalability and time efficiency of an LFA model. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the existing parallel optimization algorithms for the LFA model. Specifically, it performs: 1) discussion and summary of these algorithms based on computing architecture and mode, 2) empirical studies of representative models, and3) summary of the current challenges and future directions in this domain. This survey aims to offer an exhaustive review of Parallel Optimization Algorithms for High-Dimensional and Incomplete Matrix Factorization, thereby fostering further research in this field.展开更多

摘要CircRNAs,widely found throughout the human bodies,play a crucial role in regulating various biological processes and are closely linked to complex human diseases.Investigating potential associations between circRNAs and diseases can enhance our understanding of diseases and provide new strategies and tools for early diagnosis,treatment,and disease prevention.However,existing models have limitations in accurately capturing similarities,handling the sparse and noise attributes of association networks,and fully leveraging bioinformatical aspects from multiple viewpoints.To address these issues,this study introduces a new non-negative matrix factorization-based framework called NMFMSN.First,we incorporate circRNA sequence data and disease semantic information to compute circRNA and disease similarity,respectively.Given the sparse known associations between circRNAs and diseases,we reconstruct the network to complete more associations by imputing missing links based on neighboring circRNA and disease interactions.Finally,we integrate these two similarity networks into a non-negative matrix factorization framework to identify potential circRNA-disease associations.Upon conducting 5-fold cross-validation and leave-one-out cross-validation,the AUC values for NMFMSN reach 0.9712 and 0.9768,respectively,outperforming the currently most advanced models.Case studies on lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma show that NMFMSN is a good way to predict new associations between circRNAs and diseases.

摘要Substantial effects of photochemical reaction losses of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)on factor profiles can be investigated by comparing the differences between daytime and nighttime dispersion-normalized VOC data resolved profiles.Hourly speciated VOC data measured in Shijiazhuang,China from May to September 2021 were used to conduct study.The mean VOC concentration in the daytime and at nighttime were 32.8 and 36.0 ppbv,respectively.Alkanes and aromatics concentrations in the daytime(12.9 and 3.08 ppbv)were lower than nighttime(15.5 and 3.63 ppbv),whereas that of alkenes showed the opposite tendency.The concentration differences between daytime and nighttime for alkynes and halogenated hydrocarbonswere uniformly small.The reactivities of the dominant species in factor profiles for gasoline emissions,natural gas and diesel vehicles,and liquefied petroleum gas were relatively low and their profiles were less affected by photochemical losses.Photochemical losses produced a substantial impact on the profiles of solvent use,petrochemical industry emissions,combustion sources,and biogenic emissions where the dominant species in these factor profiles had high reactivities.Although the profile of biogenic emissions was substantially affected by photochemical loss of isoprene,the low emissions at nighttime also had an important impact on its profile.Chemical losses of highly active VOC species substantially reduced their concentrations in apportioned factor profiles.This study results were consistent with the analytical results obtained through initial concentration estimation,suggesting that the initial concentration estimation could be the most effective currently availablemethod for the source analyses of active VOCs although with uncertainty.

摘要Fine particulatematter(PM2.5)samples were collected in two neighboring cities,Beijing and Baoding,China.High-concentration events of PM2.5 in which the average mass concentration exceeded 75μg/m3 were frequently observed during the heating season.Dispersion Normalized Positive Matrix Factorization was applied for the source apportionment of PM2.5 as minimize the dilution effects of meteorology and better reflect the source strengths in these two cities.Secondary nitrate had the highest contribution for Beijing(37.3%),and residential heating/biomass burning was the largest for Baoding(27.1%).Secondary nitrate,mobile,biomass burning,district heating,oil combustion,aged sea salt sources showed significant differences between the heating and non-heating seasons in Beijing for same period(2019.01.10–2019.08.22)(Mann-Whitney Rank Sum Test P<0.05).In case of Baoding,soil,residential heating/biomass burning,incinerator,coal combustion,oil combustion sources showed significant differences.The results of Pearson correlation analysis for the common sources between the two cities showed that long-range transported sources and some sources with seasonal patterns such as oil combustion and soil had high correlation coefficients.Conditional Bivariate Probability Function(CBPF)was used to identify the inflow directions for the sources,and joint-PSCF(Potential Source Contribution Function)was performed to determine the common potential source areas for sources affecting both cities.These models facilitated a more precise verification of city-specific influences on PM2.5 sources.The results of this study will aid in prioritizing air pollution mitigation strategies during the heating season and strengthening air quality management to reduce the impact of downwind neighboring cities.
摘要In this paper,a nonlinear control approach for an unstable networked plant in the presence of actuator and sensor limitations using robust right coprime factorization is proposed.The actuator is limited by upper and lower constraints and the sensor in the feedback loop is subjected to network-induced unknown time-varying delay and noise.With this nonlinear control method,we first employ right coprime factorization based on isomorphism and operator theory to factorize the plant,so that bounded input bounded output(BIBO)stability can be guaranteed.Next,continuous-time generalized predictive control(CGPC)is utilized for the unstable operator of the right coprime factorized plant to guarantee inner stability and enables the closed-loop dynamics of the system with predictive characteristics.Meanwhile,a second-Do F(degrees of freedom)switched controller that satisfies a perturbed Bezout identity and a robustness condition is designed.By using the CGPC controller that possesses predictive behavior and the second-Do F switched stabilizer,the overall stability of the plant subjected to actuator limitations is guaranteed.To address sensor limitations that exist in networked plants in the form of delay and noise which often cause system performance degradation,we implement an identity operator definition in the feedback loop to compensate for these adverse effects.Further,a pre-operator is designed to ensure that the plant output tracks the reference input.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme is demonstrated by simulations.

摘要High-dimensional and incomplete(HDI) matrices are commonly encountered in various big data-related applications for illustrating the complex interactions among numerous entities, like the user-item interactions in a commercial recommender system or the user-user interactions in a social network services system. The factorization of such an HDI matrix can embed the involved entities into the low-dimensional feature space for acquiring their principal representation, which is a vital task in various application scenes and is often established through the Latent Factor Analysis(LFA). Nevertheless, an HDI matrix can be huge when the corresponding application explodes to involve millions of users, items, or other interactive nodes. In this case, a parallel optimization algorithm is desired for raising the scalability and time efficiency of an LFA model. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the existing parallel optimization algorithms for the LFA model. Specifically, it performs: 1) discussion and summary of these algorithms based on computing architecture and mode, 2) empirical studies of representative models, and3) summary of the current challenges and future directions in this domain. This survey aims to offer an exhaustive review of Parallel Optimization Algorithms for High-Dimensional and Incomplete Matrix Factorization, thereby fostering further research in this field.

摘要Spinal cord injury represents a severe form of central nervous system trauma for which effective treatments remain limited.Microglia is the resident immune cells of the central nervous system,play a critical role in spinal cord injury.Previous studies have shown that microglia can promote neuronal survival by phagocytosing dead cells and debris and by releasing neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory factors.However,excessive activation of microglia can lead to persistent inflammation and contribute to the formation of glial scars,which hinder axonal regeneration.Despite this,the precise role and mechanisms of microglia during the acute phase of spinal cord injury remain controversial and poorly understood.To elucidate the role of microglia in spinal cord injury,we employed the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor inhibitor PLX5622 to deplete microglia.We observed that sustained depletion of microglia resulted in an expansion of the lesion area,downregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor,and impaired functional recovery after spinal cord injury.Next,we generated a transgenic mouse line with conditional overexpression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor specifically in microglia.We found that brain-derived neurotrophic factor overexpression in microglia increased angiogenesis and blood flow following spinal cord injury and facilitated the recovery of hindlimb motor function.Additionally,brain-derived neurotrophic factor overexpression in microglia reduced inflammation and neuronal apoptosis during the acute phase of spinal cord injury.Furthermore,through using specific transgenic mouse lines,TMEM119,and the colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor inhibitor PLX73086,we demonstrated that the neuroprotective effects were predominantly due to brain-derived neurotrophic factor overexpression in microglia rather than macrophages.In conclusion,our findings suggest the critical role of microglia in the formation of protective glial scars.Depleting microglia is detrimental to recovery of spinal cord injury,whereas targeting brain-derived neurotrophic factor overexpression in microglia represents a promising and novel therapeutic strategy to enhance motor function recovery in patients with spinal cord injury.

摘要Strokes include both ischemic stroke,which is mediated by a blockade or reduction in the blood supply to the brain,and hemorrhagic stroke,which comprises intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage and is characterized by bleeding within the brain.Stroke is a lifethreatening cerebrovascular condition characterized by intricate pathophysiological mechanisms,including oxidative stress,inflammation,mitochondrial dysfunction,and neuronal injury.Critical transcription factors,such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and nuclear factor kappa B,play central roles in the progression of stroke.Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 is sensitive to changes in the cellular redox status and is crucial in protecting cells against oxidative damage,inflammatory responses,and cytotoxic agents.It plays a significant role in post-stroke neuroprotection and repair by influencing mitochondrial function,endoplasmic reticulum stress,and lysosomal activity and regulating metabolic pathways and cytokine expression.Conversely,nuclear factor-kappa B is closely associated with mitochondrial dysfunction,the generation of reactive oxygen species,oxidative stress exacerbation,and inflammation.Nuclear factor-kappa B contributes to neuronal injury,apoptosis,and immune responses following stroke by modulating cell adhesion molecules and inflammatory mediators.The interplay between these pathways,potentially involving crosstalk among various organelles,significantly influences stroke pathophysiology.Advancements in single-cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics have greatly improved our understanding of stroke pathogenesis and offer new opportunities for the development of targeted,individualized,cell typespecific treatments.In this review,we discuss the mechanisms underlying the involvement of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and nuclear factor-kappa B in both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke,with an emphasis on their roles in oxidative stress,inflammation,and neuroprotection.

摘要BACKGROUND Qiweizhigan granule(QWZG)is employed in clinical settings for the treatment of metabolic dysfunctionassociated steatohepatitis(MASH).However,the precise biological mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects are not yet fully elucidated.AIM To assess the efficacy and the mechanism of QWZG against MASH.METHODS Animal models were established,including normal group,a choline-deficient,L-amino acid-defined high-fat diet(CDAHFD)group,and low/medium/high-dose QWZG groups,as well as a rosiglitazone group.Through comprehensive biochemical,histopathological,RNA sequencing,and bioinformatics analyses,galectin 3(LGALS3)was identified as a critical target of QWZG in the treatment of MASH.The level of LGALS3 was quantitatively assessed and validated using Western blotting,real-time quantitative PCR,and immunofluorescence.The role and function of LGALS3 in inflammation and MASH progression were further investigated through gene knockdown,overexpression,iron assay,and transmission electron microscopy.RESULTS QWZG significantly ameliorated liver pathology by reducing steatosis,inflammation,and fibrosis.RNA sequencing analysis identified 1507 co-expressed differentially expressed genes among the CDAHFD,normal,and QWZG groups.Among these,LGALS3 was identified as one of the most significantly altered differentially expressed genes.Both mRNA and protein levels of LGALS3 were elevated in the CDAHFD group compared to the normal group,whereas treatment with QWZG reduced their levels.Analysis of Human Protein Atlas database indicated that LGALS3 was predominantly expressed in Kupffer cells,and was validated by real-time quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence.Furthermore,the level of LGALS3 was significantly increased in lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 cells,where its overexpression and recombinant LGALS3 protein both significantly enhanced the expression of interleukin-6,interleukin-1β,and tumor necrosis factor-α.LGALS3 overexpression significantly inhibited glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)expression,and exacerbated mitochondrial damage,whereas LGALS3 knockdown markedly increased GPX4 level,and significantly reduced the levels of both total iron and ferrous iron.QWZG treatment significantly reduced the levels of malondialdehyde and ferrous iron,increased the levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione.In addition,QWZG treatment also significantly enhanced GPX4 expression.Mechanistically,LGALS3 knockdown was associated with reduced expression of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6(TRAF6)and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3,while its overexpression led to increased levels of these proteins.The TRAF6 inhibitor C25-140 effectively reversed the LGALS3-induced alterations in GPX4 expression and iron accumulation.Furthermore,QWZG treatment significantly decreased the levels of TRAF6 and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3.CONCLUSION QWZG ameliorated the progression of MASH by modulating ferroptosis through the LGALS3/TRAF6/GPX4 axis.

摘要Understory bryophytes play unique and disproportionately important roles in water retention,biogeochemical cycling,and biodiversity conservation,and serve as bioindicators of environmental health in forest ecosystems.However,biogeographical research on the biomass of forest bryophytes is inadequately studied and has been limited to elevational gradients.We conducted a systematic cross-regional survey of bryophyte biomass across 413 forest sites in Sichuan Province,China.We analyzed how each environmental variable,including climatic and atmospheric factors,overstory covers,and soil nutrients,relates to bryophyte biomass and quantified their relative contributions.The results indicate that,largely similar to previous local investigations and experiments,at a large scale,bryophytes are abundant in forests with lower temperature,nitrogen deposition,vapor pressure deficit,and tree and herb covers,as well as higher light availability.Moreover,bryophyte biomass is positively associated with soil carbon and nitrogen content.These environmental variables are closely related and jointly influence bryophyte biomass,with mean annual temperature being the most significant factor(accounting for 83%of the relative contribution).The biogeographical patterns of bryophyte biomass contribute to deepening our understanding of their adaptations to multiple environmental variables and enable us to predict their responses to global climate change.These patterns also provide essential evidence for establishing more accurate terrestrial vegetation ecosystem models.
