The development of a rapid method to determine the endpoints of adsorption processes in a large-scale manufacturing is of substantial importance for herbal medicine(HM) manufacturers.Methods: In this study, the adsorption of saponins on a macroporous resin column chromatograph, a critical unit operation in Panax notoginseng(Burkill) F.H.Chen injection manufacturing, was considered as an example. The evaluation results of in-line ultraviolet and visible spectra combined with various multivariate analysis methods, including the moving block standard deviation(MBSD), difference between the moving block average and the target spectrum(DMBA-TS), soft-independent modeling of class analogy(SIMCA), and partial least-squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA), were compared.Results: MBSD was unsuitable for adsorption processes. The relative standard errors of prediction between the predicted and experimental endpoints were 13.2%, 4.67%, and 5.71% using DMBA-TS, SIMCA, and PLS-DA, respectively.Conclusions: Among the considered analysis methods, SIMCA and PLS-DA were more effective for endpoint determination. The results of this study provide a more comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of various multivariate analysis methods to facilitate the selection of the most suitable method. This study was also conducive to address the issues of the in-line detection of adsorption endpoints to guide practical HM manufacturing.展开更多

Since then this method has been applied to various kind of models. However, the local influence in multivariate analysis is still an unexplored area because the influence for many statistics in multivariate analysis is not convenient to handle based on the Cook's likelihood displacement. In this paper, we suggest a method with a slight modification in Cook's approach to assess the local influence of small perturbation on a certain statistic. The local influence of the perturbation on eigenvalue and eigenvector of variance-covariance matrix in theoretical and sample version is assessed, some results for the other statistics in multivariate analysis such as generalized variance, canonical correlations are studied.

METHODS: A total of 1 002 patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, during December 1999 and December 2003, were retrospectively studied. RESULTS: The overall incidence of PPC was 22.8% (228/ 1 002). Multivariate logistic analysis identified nine risk factors associated with PPC, including age odds ratio (OR = 1.040) history of respiratory diseases (OR = 2.976), serum albumin (OR = 0.954), chemotherapy 2 wk before operation (OR = 3.214), volume of preoperative erythrocyte transfusion (OR = 1.002), length of preoperative antibiotic therapy (OR = 1.072), intraoperative intratracheal intubation (OR = 1.002), nasogastric intubation (OR = 1.050) and postoperative mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.878).

In this paper, multivallate methods, mainly Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and Nonmetric Multi-dimensional Scaling (MDS), are used for the purpose. od results are gained with the analysis of the published data and some row data from cyst sizes. It shows that multivariate methods can cluster the similar characteristics of batch cysts and make out impure or mingled cysts of different origin. Amng others, MDS, with row data from the cyst measurement, can be easily used for the analysis of cyst ordination and comparison. The result demonstrates that the cysts of Chinese parthenopnetic brine shrimp are well discriminated by their geographic locations along the coastal China with larger size disttibuting in the south.展开更多

Since ERN in the Sequential SIR model fluctuates in multiple dimensions due to changes in the surrounding environment, it is difficult to set the appropriate accuracy of the uncertainty region of the estimated data. The challenge in this study is to build a mathematical model of infectious disease according to the characteristics and data characteristics of the infectious disease and select an appropriate estimation method. Highly accurate quantitative research that analyzes the validity of “how infectious diseases prevail” from an academic point of view is the key to prediction and estimation in appropriate infection situation analysis. In this study, we adopted a statistical multivariate analysis method (T method) that enables evaluation and prediction of important factors related to ERN estimation and analysis of phenomena that change in real time (time series analysis). It was clarified that it is possible to estimate with higher accuracy by applying the T method to the estimated value of ERN by the current SIR mathematical model.展开更多

The challenge in this study is to build a mathematical model of infectious disease according to the characteristics and data characteristics of the infectious disease and select an appropriate estimation method.

In this study, we adopted a statistical multivariate analysis method (T method) that enables evaluation and prediction of important factors related to ERN estimation and analysis of phenomena that change in real time (time series analysis). It was clarified that it is possible to estimate with higher accuracy by applying the T method to the estimated value of ERN by the current SIR mathematical model.

摘要Anxiety disorder is a prevalent mental health issue globally.Walnuts,known as“brain food,”exhibit neuroprotective effects and alleviate anxiety symptoms.However,the specific sequences of walnut peptides that possess anxiolytic properties and their mechanisms remain unclear.In this study,we prepared walnut protein hydrolysates(WPHs)through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis and evaluated their neuroprotective effects in a corticosterone(CORT)-induced PC12 cell injury model.The results showed that WPH-Alc,WPH-Try,and WPHAci exhibited more significant differences compared to WPH-Fla in regulating serotonin(5-HT)levels,antioxidant stress(GSH-Px,SOD),and reducing inflammatory responses(TNF-α,NOS2,IL-6)(p<0.05).Using peptidomics analysis,combined with an integrated approach of multivariate analysis and random forest methodology,we identified four peptides:Leu-Pro-Leu-Leu(LPLL),Asn-Leu-Pro-Leu-Leu(NLPLL),Tyr-Leu(YL),and Val-Tyr(VY).In the zebrafish larva light/dark anxiety model,these peptide-treated groups demonstrated significant anxiolytic effects.Furthermore,in aγ-aminobutyric acid(GABA)inhibitor pentylenetetrazol(PTZ)-induced excitotoxicity model,the peptides significantly reduced the total moving distance,average speed,and number of movements in zebrafish,with VY showing the most pronounced effect.Molecular docking revealed that the peptides could stably bind to the Ser-205 and Tyr-210 residues of GABAAR primarily through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions facilitated by hydrophobic and aromatic amino acids.This study provides robust evidence for the neuroprotective role of walnut peptides in anxiety management and offers new directions for future research.

摘要Sub-level caving(SLC)is a mass mining method suitable for large,steeply dipping orebodies.The particle size distribution(PSD)of blasted material affects material flow through the stope.Improving blast-induced fragmentation can enhance draw point extraction,increasing ore recovery,reducing dilution,and lowering costs in loading and crushing.Numerical simulations using the Mechanistic Blasting Model(MBM)explored these improvements.MBM simulates the explosive loading,rock fracturing,and dynamic explosive gas effects.It addresses uneven explosive distribution from fan-shaped blast holes and complex broken ground conditions.The simulations used Ernest Henry Mine(EHM)data to define the baseline blast design and rock mass and compared field and modelled fragmentation sizes for varying explosive densities and burden sizes.Then,MBM simulations incorporated different rock mass fracture densities,tensile strengths and in-situ stresses,and further blast design changes in the blasthole diameter and charge spacings.A total of 34 scenarios were modelled.Multivariate regression analysis identified key parameters,and new regression models for P20,P50,and P80 passing sizes were developed and validated against the EHM and MBM simulation data.Additional simulations confirmed that while regression predictive models were slightly less accurate,they provided efficient predictions with acceptable accuracy.

摘要Multivariate pattern analysis(MVPA) is a recently-developed approach for functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) data analyses.Compared with the traditional univariate methods,MVPA is more sensitive to subtle changes in multivariate patterns in fMRI data.In this review,we introduce several significant advances in MVPA applications and summarize various combinations of algorithms and parameters in different problem settings.The limitations of MVPA and some critical questions that need to be addressed in future research are also discussed.

摘要Fatty acids(FAs) provide energy and also can be used to trace trophic relationships among organisms.Sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus goes into a state of aestivation during warm summer months.We examined fatty acid profiles in aestivated and non-aestivated A.japonicus using multivariate analyses(PERMANOVA,MDS,ANOSIM,and SIMPER).The results indicate that the fatty acid profiles of aestivated and non-aestivated sea cucumbers differed significantly.The FAs that were produced by bacteria and brown kelp contributed the most to the differences in the fatty acid composition of aestivated and nonaestivated sea cucumbers.Aestivated sea cucumbers may synthesize FAs from heterotrophic bacteria during early aestivation,and long chain FAs such as eicosapentaenoic(EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) that produced from intestinal degradation,are digested during deep aestivation.Specific changes in the fatty acid composition of A.japonicus during aestivation needs more detailed study in the future.

摘要Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy(TERS)is a powerful surface analysis technique that can provide subnanometer-resolved images of nanostructures with site-specific chemical fingerprints.However,due to the limitation of weak Raman signals and the resultant difficulty in achieving TERS imaging with good signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs),the conventional single-peak analysis is unsuitable for distinguishing complex molecular architectures at the subnanometer scale.Here we demonstrate that the combination of subnanometer-resolved TERS imaging and advanced multivariate analysis can provide an unbiased panoramic view of the chemical identity and spatial distribution of different molecules on surfaces,yielding high-quality chemical images despite limited SNRs in individual pixel-level spectra.This methodology allows us to exploit the full power of TERS imaging and unambiguously distinguish between adjacent molecules with a resolution of~0.4 nm,as well as to resolve submolecular features and the differences in molecular adsorption configurations.Our results provide a promising methodology that promotes TERS imaging as a routine analytical technique for the analysis of complex nanostructures on surfaces.

摘要Though subjective feelings affected by lighting have been studied a lot,multivariate experimental studies are lacking in this research field.Central composite rotatable design(CCRD)was applied to investigate the influence of illuminance,correlated color temperature(CCT)and illuminance uniformity on satisfaction in this study.A series of subject experiments were carried out and polynomial regression models of luminous satisfaction for different activity scenarios were generated.Illuminance and CCT affected the satisfaction significantly in visual task scenarios,and the effect of them was independent with each other,which was demonstrated by the regression model(R2=0.89).The variation of luminous satisfaction in general activity scenarios cannot be fully explained by the three investigated factors.The results contributed to the knowledge of multivariate analysis of luminous environment and indicated that much could be expected referring to the application of CCRD in this field.
摘要Objective:To investigate the correlation between prenatal plasma fi brinogen,D-dimer,hemoglobin,and platelet levels and postpartum hemorrhage in primiparous women of advanced maternal age.Methods:Fifty elderly primiparous women who delivered without postpartum hemorrhage and 50 who experienced postpartum hemorrhage were assigned to the control and experimental groups,respectively.Five milliliters of fasting venous blood were collected from each woman between 31 and 33 weeks of gestation.FIB,D-dimer,Hb,and PLT levels were measured using a fully automated hematology analyzer.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed,and ROC curves were plotted.Results:Compared with the control group,the experimental group showed statistically signifi cant diff erences in FIB and Hb levels(P0.05).FIB and PLT were identifi ed as independent risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage,and both may contribute to the occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage.Conclusion:FIB and PLT showed signifi cant correlations with postpartum hemorrhage,suggesting that FIB and PLT may contribute to the development of postpartum hemorrhage.
