Emotion classification and recognition is a crucial area in emotional computing. Physiological signals, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), provide an accurate reflection of emotions and are difficult to disguise. However, emotion recognition still faces challenges in single-modal signal feature extraction and multi-modal signal integration. This study collected EEG, electromyogram (EMG), and electrodermal activity (EDA) signals from participants under three emotional states: happiness, sadness, and fear. A feature-weighted fusion method was applied for integrating the signals, and both support vector machine (SVM) and extreme learning machine (ELM) were used for classification. The results showed that the classification accuracy was highest when the fusion weights were set to EEG 0.7, EMG 0.15, and EDA 0.15, achieving accuracy rates of 80.19% and 82.48% for SVM and ELM, respectively. These rates represented an improvement of 5.81% and 2.95% compared to using EEG alone. This study offers methodological support for emotion classification and recognition using multi-modal physiological signals.

Objective:To discuss the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect of mesalazine(MSZ)in the RAW264.7 cell model,and to elucidate its therapeutic effect on periodontitis in the rats.Methods:The proliferation rates of RAW264.7 cells stimulated by different concentrations(0,62.5,125.0,250.0,500.0,1 000.0,and 2 000.0 mg·L-1)of MSZ were detected by CCK-8 method to determine the optimal concentration of MSZ for cell treatment.Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide(P.g-LPS)and MSZ were used to treat the RAW264.7 cells,and the cells were divided into control group,P.g-LPS group,and MSZ+P.g-LPS group.The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in the cells in various groups were detected by the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe assay;the malondialdehyde(MDA)levels,glutathione(GSH)levels and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activities in the cells in various groups were detected by ELISA method;the expression levels of inflammatory factors interleukin-8(IL-8)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)mRNA in the cells in various groups were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method.The periodontitis rat model was established by the ligation method combined with the injection of P.g bacterial fluid.A total of 18 rats were randomly divided into control group(without treatment),model group(making period ontits model),and drug administration group(making periodontits model and given MSZ),and there were 6 rats in each group.Micro-CT was used to assess the alveolar bone destruction of the rats in various groups;HE staining was used to observe the morphology of periodontal tissue of the rats in various groups.Results:Compared with control group,the proliferation rate of the cells in 500.0 mg·L-1 MSZ group was significantly increased(P＜0.01),so 500.0 mg·L-1 MSZ was subsequently selected to treat the cells.Compared with control group,the levels of ROS and MDA in the cells in P.g-LPS group were significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the level of GSH and activity of SOD were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and the expression levels of IL-1β and IL-8 mRNA were significantly increased(P＜0.01);compared with P.g-LPS group,the levels of ROS and MDA in the cells in MSZ+P.g-LPS group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),the level of GSH and activity of SOD were significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the expression levels of IL-1β and IL-8 mRNA were significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The micro-CT assay results showed that compared with control group,the distance from the cemento-enamel junction to alveolar bone crest(CEJ-ABC)of the rats in model group was significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the bone volume fraction(BV/TV)was significantly decreaced(P＜0.05);compared with model group;the CEJ-ABC of the rats in drug administration group was decreased(P＜0.01),and the BV/TV was increased(P＜0.05).The HE staining results showed that the inflammatory cell infiltration in periodontal tissue of the rats in drug administration group was reduced,and epithelial attachment was restored.Conclusion:MSZ effectively inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory factors and peroxides in the P.g-LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells,improves the cellular anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity,inhibits the alveolar bone resorption,and alleviates the inflammation of periodontal tissues in the periodontitis rats.

Objective To investigate the association between the polymorphism of the microsomal triglyceride transport protein (MTTP) gene at rs1800591 locus and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the elderly population. Methods The clinical cohort of this study was established in Menkuang Hospital, Beijing Jingmei Group General Hospital. A total of 1098 healthy elderly volunteers were recruited for physical examination in communities in Mentougou District of Beijing, China, from January 11, 2020 to September 30, 2021, among whom there were 614 patients with NAFLD and 484 individuals without NAFLD. Gene microarray was used to determine the genotypes of MTTP rs1800591; demographic data were collected, and blood biochemical parameters were measured. The independent samples t -test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The chi-square test was used to investigate whether the distribution of genotype frequency was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The unconditional logistic regression model was used to calculate odds ratio ( OR ) and its 95% confidence interval ( CI ) to investigate the association of gene polymorphism with the risk of NAFLD and other comorbidities. Results There were significant differences in sex and age between the two groups ( P < 0.05). Compared with the non-NAFLD group, the NAFLD group had significantly higher levels of body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio, triglyceride, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), and liver stiffness measurement and a significantly lower level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (all P < 0.05). Compared with the non-NAFLD group, the NAFLD group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome (all P < 0.05). The distribution of genotype frequency at MTTP rs1800591 locus was in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the control group ( χ 2 =1.097, P =0.29). There were a significant differences in the genotype and the distribution of alleles at MTTP rs1800591 locus between the patients with NAFLD and the control group (all P < 0.001). In the total population, there was a significantly lower carrying rate of T allele (GT+TT, n =351) in male individuals, and the individuals carrying T allele had significantly higher BMI and CAP than those carrying GG allele ( n =747) ( P < 0.001). Compared with the individuals who did not carry T allele, the individuals carrying T allele (GT+TT, n =232) had a significantly higher proportion of patients with obesity and a significantly lower NFS score ( P < 0.05). As for the individuals with NAFLD, the individuals carrying T allele had a significantly lower proportion of male individuals, a significantly lower waist-hip ratio, and a significantly higher level of HDL compared with those who did not carry T allele (GG, n =382), and the GT+TT group had a significantly lower NFS score than the GG group (all P < 0.05). The non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that after adjustment for the confounding factors of sex, age, and BMI, the GT+TT genotype at MTTP rs1800591 locus significantly increased the risk of NAFLD ( OR =1.643, 95% CI : 1.226-2.203, P =0.001), and carrying T allele also increased the risk of obesity in the total population ( OR =1.371, 95% CI : 1.051-1.788, P =0.02). Conclusion MTTP rs1800591 polymorphism is associated with the development of NAFLD in the elderly population, and carrying T allele may promote hepatic steatosis and increase the risk of obesity in NAFLD, while it may inhibit the progression of liver fibrosis.

Excessive N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine(NAPQI)formation is a starting event that triggers oxidative stress and subsequent hepatocyte necrosis in acetaminophen(APAP)overdose caused acute liver failure(ALF).S-glutathionylation is a reversible redox post-translational modification and a prospective mechanism of APAP hepatotoxicity.Glutaredoxin-1(Glrx1),a glutathione-specific thioltransferase,is a primary enzyme to catalyze deglutathionylation.The objective of this study was to explored whether and how Glrx1 is associated with the development of ALF induced by APAP.The Glrx1 knockout mice(Glrx1-/-)and liver-specific overexpression of Glrx1(AAV8-Glrx1)mice were produced and underwent APAP-induced ALF.Pirfenidone(PFD),a potential inducer of Glrx1,was administrated preceding APAP to assess its protective effects.Our results revealed that the hepatic total protein S-glutathionylation(PSSG)increased and the Glrx1 level reduced in mice after APAP toxicity.Glrx1-/- mice were more sensitive to APAP overdose,with higher oxidative stress and more toxic metabolites of APAP.This was attributed to Glrx1 deficiency increasing the total hepatic PSSG and the S-glutathionylation of cytochrome p450 3a 11(Cyp3a11),which likely increased the activity of Cyp3a11.Conversely,AAV8-Glrx1 mice were defended against liver damage caused by APAP overdose by inhibiting the S-glutathionylation and activity of Cyp3a11,which reduced the toxic metabolites of APAP and oxidative stress.PFD precede administration upregulated Glrx1 expression and alleviated APAP-induced ALF by decreasing oxidative stress.We have identified the function of Glrx1 mediated PSSG in liver injury caused by APAP overdose.Increasing Glrx1 expression may be investigated for the medical treatment of APAP-caused hepatic injury.

Conclusions Denosumab has an effective increase for lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck bone mineral density, and the safety of both is similar.

Objective: To study on the genomic stability of male workers engaged in e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin. Methods: In 2016, an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin and an area 50 km away from the e-waste dismantling area (no e-waste or other chemical, industrial and agricultural pollution nearby) were selected as the study area and the reference area. Male residents of the study area and male farmers who planted vegetables, fruits, and crops in the reference area were selected as the exposed and reference group by using the convenient sampling method. The exposed group included 146 workers who engaged in e-waste recycling work more than 1 year. The reference group included 121 farmers who never engaged in e-waste recycling work. Questionnaires were used to collect information of all subjects. The semen and peripheral blood were also collected. Trace elements and polychlorinated biphenyl concentration in blood were detected. DNA damage in peripheral blood and sperm was detected, and gene expression was analyzed. DNA damage was assessed using tail DNA% (TDNA%), tail moment (TM) and olive tail moment (OTM) of comet assay. Results: The ages of the exposed group and the reference group were (33.6±12.1) and (33.9±11.9) years old, respectively. The proportions of subjects with exposure time of ≤3, 4-6, ≥7 years were 43% (63 cases), 26% (53 cases) and 21% (30 cases), respectively. The Pb and polychlorinated biphenyl(PCB) concentrations in the exposed group [(90.4±15.3) μg/ml and (101±30) ng/ml, respectively] were higher than those in the reference group [Pb and PCB concentrations were (60.2±8.9) μg/ml, and (2.5±1.4) ng/ml, respectively (both P values <0.05)]. The TDNA%, TM and OTM of peripheral blood and sperm in the exposed group were 5.9%±0.3% and 2.6%±0.90%, 0.93±0.16 and 0.51±0.20, 0.82±0.09 and 0.56±0.07, respectively, which were all higher than those in the reference group [TDNA%, TM and OTM of peripheral blood and sperm were 1.8%±0.2% and 1.9%±0.2%, 0.21±0.04 and 0.32±0.10, 0.19±0.03 and 0.20±0.08, respectively (all P values <0.001)]. The results of gene expression showed that 20 differentially expressed genes, including 13 up-regulated genes and 7 down-regulated genes, were detected in the exposed group compared with the reference group. Conclusion There are obvious DNA damage and DNA repair gene disorder in male workers of an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin. The current operation mode brings potential health risks to workers.

Objective: To study on the exposure of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination and DNA methylation in male employees in an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin. Methods: In 2016, an e-waste dismantling area in Tianjin and an area 50 km away from the e-waste dismantling area (no e-waste or other chemical, industrial and agricultural pollution nearby) were selected as the study area and the reference area. Male residents of the study area and male farmers who planted vegetables, fruits, and crops in the reference area were selected as the exposed and reference group by using the convenient sampling method. A total of 60 subjects (30 in each of the exposed group and the reference group) were included. The peripheral blood (5 ml) of the study subject was collected, and the PCB concentration was detected. Eight independent subjects in the exposed group and the reference group were randomly selected by random number table method to detect the methylation level of the promoter region of all gene loci, and the mRNA transcript levels. Results: The PCB concentration in peripheral blood of the exposed group was higher than that of the reference group, and the difference was statistically significant (allP values <0.001). The methylation levels of the promoter region of the exposed group and the reference group showed obvious clustering, and 994 gene loci had different degrees of methylation. Compared with the reference group, there were 391 hypomethylation sites and 553 hypermethylation sites in the exposed group. The proportion of methylation sites in the high CpG-rich region was 59.2% and 48.1%, respectively. The mRNA level of the hypomethylated gene in the exposed group was higher (FAM131A, HBM), and the transcription level of the hypermethylated gene was lower (CAPN15, NFIC, SHISA5, FGF13, GRAMD1A, CLEC3B, LILRB2, DCAF7). The mRNA transcription levels of 10 genes above in the exposed group and the reference group were statistically significant (all P values <0.001). Conclusion The PCB concentration of peripheral blood in the exposed population of e-waste is high. PCB exposure changes the methylation level of specific genes and affects the mRNA transcription level of some genes.

Objective To investigate the effects of Olaparib on cell proliferation and radiosensitization of human non-small cell lung cancer cells.Methods Non-small cell lung H460 and H1299 cell lines were cultured in vitro and the cells in logarithmic growth phase were selected for experiments.MTT and colony formation assays were used to determine cell proliferation and radiosensitization,respectively.Single cell gel electrophoresis assay (comet assay) was used to detect irradiation-induced DNA damage.Results The results of MTT assay showed that Olaparib inhibited the proliferation of H460 and H1299 cells in a dose-dependent pattern (all P＜0.05).H1299 cell line was more sensitive to Olaparib than H460 cells.The results of colony formation assay showed that Olaparib enhanced the radiosensitizition of H460 and H1299 cells (all P＜0.05).The results of comet assay showed that Olaparib increased γ ray-induced DNA damage.Conclusions Olapani can enhance the radiosensitization of human non-small cell lung cancer cells,and the radiosensitization effect of Olaparib may be associated with the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of irradiation-induced DNA damage.
