摘要Advanced glycation end products(AGEs)are harmful molecules formed through non-enzymatic reactions between proteins,lipids,and reducing sugars,contributing to diseases such as diabetes,Alzheimer's disease,and cardiovascular conditions.This study investigates the inhibitory mechanisms of CMP-LSOPC nanoparticles(NPs)on AGEs release during gastrointestinal digestion.CMP-LSOPC NPs were synthesized by complexing carboxymethyl pachymaran(CMP)with lotus seedpod oligomeric procyanidins(LSOPC),and its structure confirmed via Fourier transform infrared(FTIR),ultraviolet-visible(UV-Vis),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)analyses.In simulated gastrointestinal conditions,CMP-LSOPC NPs exhibited a significant reduction in AGE formation,achieving up to lowering AGE release by 48.5%compared to LSOPC alone.Furthermore,associated mechanisms are explored,including CMP-LSOPC NPs improving the stability and antioxidant activity of LSOPC,inhibiting the activity of related hydrolase enzymes in the gastrointestinal environment.The CMP-LSOPC NPs exhibited 4.1%higher LSOPC content during the gastric phase compared to LSOPC alone,indicating that CMP-LSOPC NPs with better stability.The antioxidant activity,measured through DPPH,ABTS+,and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays,demonstrated that CMP-LSOPC NPs enhanced antioxidant capacity,with a 35%increase in DPPH radical scavenging and 29%increase in ABTS+radical scavenging compared to LSOPC alone.Enzyme inhibition assays showed a protective effect,with a 22%decrease in trypsin activity and 19%reduction in pepsin activity.Meanwhile,mass spectrometry revealed the presence of more long-chain glycopeptides in the CMP-LSOPC NPs group,which may exert beneficial influence on adiminishing the absorption of harmful AGEs.However,the potential risks of accumulating long glycated peptides in the colon should not be overlooked.Overall,CMP-LSOPC NPs effectively inhibited AGE release,which may offer a promising strategy for reducing the dietary risk of AGEs.
摘要Transformers have been widely applied to hyperspectral image classification,leveraging their self-attention mechanism for powerful global modelling.However,two key challenges remain as follows:excessive memory and computational costs from calculating correlations between all tokens(especially as image size or spectral bands increase)and limited ability to model local boundary information due to lacking explicit enhancement mechanisms.This paper proposes a novel method,bridge transformer network fused with deep graph convolution(BTDGC),to address these issues.The framework includes three components as follows:a double random masking mechanism(DRMM)that forces the model to infer masked features from context during training,a bridge transformer(BT)module with bridge tokens for cross-region feature interaction and a Deep Graph Convolutional Pooling(DGCP)module that preserves spatial topology while aggregating hierarchical information.Experiments on standard hyperspectral datasets show BTDGC outperforms mainstream methods in classification accuracy and robustness,effectively balancing global modelling and local boundary representation.The code is available at http://gffzz188fe103f8f1460aspq66kqqxx0cv6ob9.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/jenny3489/BTDGC.
摘要To overcome the limitations of traditional photocatalysts,such as inefficient separation of charge carriers and poor visible-light absorption,S-scheme g-C3N4/TiO2 heterojunction photocatalysts were synthesized via a combined method of thermal polymerization,hydrothermal synthesis,and calcination.The crystal structures,morphological features,and optical properties of the composites were systematically characterized,and their photocatalytic performance was evaluated through tetracycline(TC)degradation and hydrogen evolution experiments.Trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)measurements were conducted to elucidate the reaction mechanisms.The results demonstrate that the S-scheme heterojunction effectively extends the visible-light absorption range and facilitates the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.Under optimal conditions,the composite achieved a TC degradation rate of 94.5%and a hydrogen evolution rate of 329.1μmol·h-1·g-1 after 8 h of irradiation,both values being significantly higher than those of pristine g-C3N4 or TiO2.Moreover,the S-scheme g-C3N4/TiO2 heterojunction retained high photocatalytic activity over five consecutive cycles,confirming its excellent stability.Mechanistic investigations revealed that the S-scheme heterojunction maintained strong redox capacities,with superoxide radicals(·O2-),hydroxyl radicals(·OH),electrons(e-),and holes(h+)serving as the primary active species responsible for TC degradation and H2 production.

摘要Fatigue impacts both mental and physical health,significantly reducing quality of life and daily productivity.Natural bioactive compounds have emerged as promising agents to combat fatigue due to their multifaceted biological activities and minimal side effects.Key mechanisms through which these compounds exert anti-fatigue effects include enhancing energy metabolism,reducing oxidative stress,supporting mitochondrial integrity,modulating the immune response,and regulating neurotransmitter balance.Plant-derived metabolites such as flavonoids,ginsenosides,saponins,and polysaccharides,as well as animal-based peptides and microbial-derived substances,have demonstrated significant potential in alleviating fatigue symptoms in both clinical and preclinical studies.Additionally,fermented products like kefir,fermented rice bran,and yogurt enhance endurance performance,reduce lactate buildup,and improve glycogen storage,further contributing to fatigue mitigation.As consumer interest in natural alternatives grows,future research should prioritize improving the bioavailability,stability,and targeted delivery of these compounds.This review consolidates recent advances in the understanding of anti-fatigue mechanisms of natural products and highlights emerging directions for their development as functional foods and therapeutic agents.
摘要Dear Editor,This letter presents a novel graph neural network, namely modularized graph convolution network(MGCN), to address the underexplored issue in graph convolution networks(GCNs), wherein the weights for neighbor aggregation are fixed, leading to the limited capability of capturing diverse relationships among nodes for representation learning. Conventional GCNs always learn node representations in the graph according to the weights computed from the graph Laplacian, consequently overlooking the similarity and group cohesiveness of node features.

摘要Natural products(NPs)and their analogues have long underpinned therapies in humans,animals,and plants health,yet,discovering truly novel scaffolds remains a formidable challenge,even with the enormous diversity offered.Over the last two decades,breakthroughs in bioinformatics,cheminformatics,advanced analytical methods,synthetic biology toolkits,and optimized microbial culture have surmounted many of the bottlenecks that stalled NP research in the 1990s and 2000s.Researchers now deploy innovative extraction and purification protocols alongside high-throughput dereplication tools to fish trace metabolites out of complex matrices.These combined approaches not only enable the discovery and rigorous characterization of biosynthesized metabolites,bio-transformed ana-logues and new chemical entities but also allow precise tuning of biosynthetic gene clusters(BGCs)and culture conditions-modulation and optimization,dramatically improving yield,scalability,and cost-efficiency.Several of these newly unearthed compounds exhibit unique bioactivities that directly inspire drug-development programs against metabolic disorders,cancer drug resistance,and infectious diseases.In this review,we present an up-to-date,concise roadmap of natural product discovery(NPD),majorly covering strategies for awakening silent BGCs,genome mining,and late-stage diversification systems,and we discuss the current limitations and perspectives of rational NPD.

摘要Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota may lead to a wide range of metabolic,neurological,intestinal and cardiovascular disorders and even to tumorigenesis.Evidence suggests that the gut-brain axis(GBA)plays a crucial role in the treatment of these diseases.Many plant-derived natural actives modulate the gut microbiota and its metabolites,gut hormones and neurotransmitters through a variety of mechanisms,and these actions contribute to the alleviation of irritable bowel syndrome,type 2 diabetes mellitus,cancer,and brain disorders.This review focuses on how natural products act through the GBA to protect the central nervous system,regulate metabolism and promote apoptosis in cancer cells.The role of gut microbiota metabolites and neurotransmitter release in modulating inflammation-related factors,promoting or reducing oxidative stress,and activating or inhibiting related signaling pathways is also discussed.This comprehensive overview of the complex GBA mechanisms deepens the understanding of how natural products can target the GBA to treat disease,providing valuable insights into the development and utilization of these natural interventions.

摘要Accurate production forecasting serves as a critical determinant for optimizing extraction strategies,guiding long-term field management in reservoir development.Both conventional methods and deep learning techniques face significant challenges in production forecasting due to the increasing complexities of reservoir extraction.Firstly,traditional production forecasting methods often fail to fully captu re the complex reservoir behavior.Finally,these approaches demonstrate suboptimal perfo rmance in wells with limited data.These problems can lead to a decrease in prediction accuracy.To address these challenges,this paper introduces the Patching-iTransformer method and applies meta learning.The method improves prediction accuracy and overcomes the problem of few samples in production forecasting.Specifically,we implement a patching mechanism that segments the input time series,thereby converting the univariate time series into a two-dimensional representation.This architectural enhancement significantly strengthens the model's capability to capture latent interdependencies among variables.Currently,we develop a PiAM meta-learning algorithm with domain-specific adaptation for oil field applications by quantitatively assessing individual well contributions to reservoir exploitation.We use time series data from real wells to evaluate the accuracy of multiple wells under the PiAM model.The experimental results demonstrate that Patching-iTransformer achieved better performance improvements than the iTransformer method.R2 increased by 0.297,RMSE decreased by11.64% and MAE decreased by 3.49%.PiAM meta-learning method demonstrated superior performance over the Patching-iTransformer model,showing a 0.535-point improvement in the R2 coefficient along with a reduction of 27.54% in RMSE and a decrease of 28.22% in MAE.

摘要Video emotion recognition is widely used due to its alignment with the temporal characteristics of human emotional expression,but existingmodels have significant shortcomings.On the one hand,Transformermultihead self-attention modeling of global temporal dependency has problems of high computational overhead and feature similarity.On the other hand,fixed-size convolution kernels are often used,which have weak perception ability for emotional regions of different scales.Therefore,this paper proposes a video emotion recognition model that combines multi-scale region-aware convolution with temporal interactive sampling.In terms of space,multi-branch large-kernel stripe convolution is used to perceive emotional region features at different scales,and attention weights are generated for each scale feature.In terms of time,multi-layer odd-even down-sampling is performed on the time series,and oddeven sub-sequence interaction is performed to solve the problem of feature similarity,while reducing computational costs due to the linear relationship between sampling and convolution overhead.This paper was tested on CMU-MOSI,CMU-MOSEI,and Hume Reaction.The Acc-2 reached 83.4%,85.2%,and 81.2%,respectively.The experimental results show that the model can significantly improve the accuracy of emotion recognition.

摘要Depression is a prevalent mental disorder characterized by persistent disinterest and a depressed mood,with severe cases potentially leading to suicide.In recent years,the incidence of depression has steadily increased,making it the second-largest global health burden.The pathogenesis of depression involves a series of complex pathological mechanisms,although the key underlying causes remain unclear.Programmed cell death(PCD),including apoptosis,autophagy,pyroptosis,ferroptosis,and necroptosis,involves highly organized gene expression processes that may influence the occurrence and development of depression by regulating cellular fate.Furthermore,numerous studies have shown that natural products can modulate PCDs through various signaling pathways,presenting significant potential for managing depression.Natural products offer benefits such as cost-effectiveness,fewer side effects,and other advantages,making them viable supplements or alternatives to traditional antidepressant drugs.To explore this potential,we reviewed studies demonstrating the antidepressant effects of natural products through multi-target modulation of PCDs.In addition,we discussed the toxicity and clinical applications of these natural products.This study highlights that diverse core biological pathways and targets are involved in determining the fate of depression-associated brain cells,including the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,caspase-8,GSDMD,and others.In conclusion,the multi-target mechanisms of PCD regulation by natural products may provide a promising foundation for the future development of novel antidepressant medications.
