Enhancement by TNF-α of TTX-resistant NaV current in muscle sensory neurons after femoral artery occlusion
Authors: Li Qin , Qin Lu , Li Jianhua
Published: February 2020

Femoral artery occlusion in rats has been used to study human peripheral artery disease (PAD). Using this animal model, a recent study suggests that increases in levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and its receptor lead to exaggerated responses of sympathetic nervous activity and arterial blood pressure as metabolically sensitive muscle afferents are activated. Note that voltage-dependent Na+ subtype NaV1.8 channels (NaV1.8) are predominately present in chemically sensitive thin fiber sensory nerves. The purpose of this study was to examine the role played by TNF-α in regulating activity of NaV1.8 currents in muscle dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons of rats with PAD induced by femoral artery occlusion. DRG neurons from control and occluded limbs of rats were labeled by injecting the fluorescent tracer DiI into the hindlimb muscles 5 days before the experiments. A voltage patch-clamp mode was used to examine TTX-resistant (TTX-R) NaV currents. Results were as follows: 72 h of femoral artery occlusion increased peak amplitude of TTX-R [1,922 ± 139 pA in occlusion ( n = 11 DRG neurons) vs. 1,178 ± 39 pA in control ( n = 10), means ± SE; P < 0.001 between the 2 groups] and NaV1.8 currents [1,461 ± 116 pA in occlusion ( n = 11) and 766 ± 48 pA in control ( n = 10); P < 0.001 between groups] in muscle DRG neurons. TNF-α exposure amplified TTX-R and NaV1.8 currents in DRG neurons of occluded muscles in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, the amplification of TTX-R and NaV1.8 currents induced by TNF-α was attenuated in DRG neurons with preincubation with respective inhibitors of the intracellular signaling pathways p38-MAPK, JNK, and ERK. In conclusion, our data suggest that NaV1.8 is engaged in the role of TNF-α in amplifying muscle afferent inputs as the hindlimb muscles are ischemic; p38-MAPK, JNK, and ERK pathways are likely necessary to mediate the effects of TNF-α.
Sensorimotor adaptation and cue reweighting compensate for distorted 3D shape information, accounting for paradoxical perception-action dissociations
Authors: Cesanek Evan , Taylor Jordan A. , Domini Fulvio
Published: February 2020

Visually guided movements can show surprising accuracy even when the perceived three-dimensional (3D) shape of the target is distorted. One explanation of this paradox is that an evolutionarily specialized “vision-for-action” system provides accurate shape estimates by relying selectively on stereo information and ignoring less reliable sources of shape information like texture and shading. However, the key support for this hypothesis has come from studies that analyze average behavior across many visuomotor interactions where available sensory feedback reinforces stereo information. The present study, which carefully accounts for the effects of feedback, shows that visuomotor interactions with slanted surfaces are actually planned using the same cue-combination function as slant perception and that apparent dissociations can arise due to two distinct supervised learning processes: sensorimotor adaptation and cue reweighting. In two experiments, we show that when a distorted slant cue biases perception (e.g., surfaces appear flattened by a fixed amount), sensorimotor adaptation rapidly adjusts the planned grip orientation to compensate for this constant error. However, when the distorted slant cue is unreliable, leading to variable errors across a set of objects (i.e., some slants are overestimated, others underestimated), then relative cue weights are gradually adjusted to reduce the misleading effect of the unreliable cue, consistent with previous perceptual studies of cue reweighting. The speed and flexibility of these two forms of learning provide an alternative explanation of why perception and action are sometimes found to be dissociated in experiments where some 3D shape cues are consistent with sensory feedback while others are faulty.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY When interacting with three-dimensional (3D) objects, sensory feedback is available that could improve future performance via supervised learning. Here we confirm that natural visuomotor interactions lead to sensorimotor adaptation and cue reweighting, two distinct learning processes uniquely suited to resolve errors caused by biased and noisy 3D shape cues. These findings explain why perception and action are often found to be dissociated in experiments where some cues are consistent with sensory feedback while others are faulty.
A Research on Fresh-Keeping Strategies for Fresh Agricultural Products from the Perspective of Green Transportation

Published: February 2020

This paper studies the impact of fresh-keeping effort (FKE) investment strategies from the perspective of green transportation on a fresh-product supply chain (FSC) system for the purpose of reducing the emission of harmful gases and waste of resources. A supplier–buyer structure in an FSC system is modeled under two approaches consisting of the fixed FKE model and the variable FKE model. Then the paper analyzes the effect of optimal FKE level on retailer’s profit and product freshness under two different approaches, and finds that there is space to be improved in the two approaches which were further optimized. Finally, the proposed models are approved with a dataset from a real-life case study. Under the above two approaches, not only profits can be increased in retail enterprises but also the freshness level of fresh agricultural products (FAP) can be improved and reduced the consumption of resources. The results show that there is an optimal investment level of FKE under different strategies, and the maximum profit could be obtained by keeping fresh at this level. Moreover, the fixed FKE will not increase the average freshness of fresh produce in a sales cycle, and the adjusted FKE can effectively improve the average freshness.
Physical Simulation of the Water-Conducting Fracture Zone of Weak Roofs in Shallow Seam Mining Based on a Self-Designed Hydromechanical Coupling Experiment System
Authors: Zha Hao , Liu Weiqun , Liu Qinghong
Published: February 2020

Due to inappropriate mining practices, water-conducting fracture zones can develop in an aquifer, not only destroying the surface-water environment but also causing water inrush, even hurting or killing workers. To avoid such disasters, investigating and simulating the evolution mechanism of water-conducting fractures are becoming a research focus in mining engineering, especially regarding the organisation and development of fractures. Our work mainly involved the design of low-strength analogous materials and the simulation of fracture evolution for weak-roof problems in shallow seam mining based on a self-built experimental hydromechanical coupling system. The experimental results show that the vertical stress in the roof increases first as the working face approaches and finally decreases to near its initial value as the working face passes. The relationship between fracture depth and coal-seam excavation distance is obviously nonlinear. The leakage velocity of surface water remains stable in the early stage of excavation and increases when the fracture develops through the main aquifuge. The maximum fracture depth is 76.18 m for the Yili coal mine with weak roofs and shallow coal seams. In addition, we numerically simulated and verified the evolution patterns with the FLAC3D platform. The simulated fracture depth of the Yili coal mine agreed with the in situ borehole observation very well and was more accurate than the output of the empirical formula. Our work provides new methods and relevant data for research on the evolution of water-conducting fractures in weak roofs during shallow seam mining.
Magnetorheological Elastomer Precision Platform Control Using OFFO‐PID Algorithm
Authors: Guo Ying-Qing , Zhang Jie , He Dong-Qing , Li Jin-Bao
Published: February 2020

The magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is a kind of smart material, which is often processed as vibration isolation and mitigation devices to realize the vibration control of the controlled system. The key to the effective isolation of vibration and shock absorption is how to accurately and in real time determine the magnitude of the applied magnetic field according to the motion state of the controlled system. In this paper, an optimal fuzzy fractional‐order PID (OFFO‐PID) algorithm is proposed to realize the vibration isolation and mitigation control of the precision platform with MRE devices. In the algorithm, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize initial values of the fractional‐order PID controller, and the fuzzy algorithm is used to update parameters of the fractional‐order PID controller in real time, and the fractional‐order PID controller is used to produce the control currents of the MRE devices. Numerical analysis for a platform with the MRE device is carried out to validate the effectiveness of the algorithm. Results show that the OFFO‐PID algorithm can effectively reduce the dynamic responses of the precision platform system. Also, compared with the fuzzy fractional‐order PID algorithm and the traditional PID algorithm, the OFFO‐PID algorithm is better.
Treatment of Recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection in an Immunocompromised Patient with Severe Neutropenia Not Responding to Standard Therapy
Authors: AlQahtani Hajar , Baloch Saeed , Tabb Deanne
Published: February 2020

One of the most effective strategies in reducing the risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) recurrence is fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). However, several adverse events have been reported post FMT, and data on the efficacy and safety of FMT in immunocompromised patients with hematological malignancies are rare. This report presents FMT treatment for refractory CDI in a severely immunocompromised patient. A 69-year-old female presented to the emergency department complaining of foul smelling, intractable, watery diarrhea and generalized abdominal pain. She was recently diagnosed with high-risk myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) requiring daily blood transfusions and reported multiple CDI episodes in the past treated successfully with metronidazole and vancomycin as mono- or combotherapy. During this admission, treatment with oral vancomycin (high dose) and intravenous metronidazole was unsuccessful, so FMT was administered. The patient recovered well despite an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 0.25 × 109/L, and chemotherapy was initiated soon after. FMT was successful and safe in this patient, with no relapse and adverse events seen in 8 weeks of follow-up via phone calls and office visits.
Analysis of Bond Behavior of FRP‐Confined Concrete Piles Based on Push‐Out Test

Published: February 2020

Due to the significant differences in the properties (e.g., anisotropy, elasticity modulus, and surface roughness) of fibre‐reinforced polymer (FRP) and traditional pile materials, research on bond behavior between FRP tube and concrete should be conducted to ensure that they can work together properly. Push‐out tests on twenty‐nine GFRP‐confined concrete piles were performed, the influence of bond type, slenderness ratio of FRP tube, radius‐thickness ratio of FRP tube, concrete stress and concrete type on bond behavior and distribution of axial strains were studied, and simplified bond‐slip constitutive models based on test results were proposed. It was found that bond type was a critical factor influencing bond behavior. A smaller radius‐thickness ratio, a higher concrete stress, and the use of expansive concrete were advantageous for achieving higher bond behavior, whereas the slenderness ratio had little influence on the bond behavior. The axial strain distribution of all FRP tubes demonstrated the following rules: the upper strain was greater than the middle strain, which was larger than the lower strain, but for normal concrete specimens, the strain was linearly distributed with height, while for expanded concrete specimens, the distribution curves were polylines.
