The results showed that WGBP had strong ability to scavenge DPPH•, ABTS•, and •OH. In the simulation of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, the retention rates of DPPH•, ABTS•, and •OH scavenging capacity of 5.00 mg/mL WGBP were high after the WGBP was digested for 1 h in the simulated gastric fluid and 2 h in the simulated gastrointesti-nal fluid, which indicated that it still had strong antioxidant activity. In conclusion, WGBP has strong in vitro efficacy, and still has strong antioxidant activity after simulated digestion in vitro.","PeriodicalId":432056,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Applications","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115592240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As one of the most prevalent liver diseases, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a term for a range of liver conditions affecting patients who drink little or no alcohol, but have over-storage of fat in their liver cells. The correlation existing between NAFLD and the brain has been well established by past studies. NAFLD has been found to be associated with cerebral risk factors including brain lesions, alterations in cerebral perfusion and activity [2], as well as certain brain phenotypes, such as cerebral brain volume [3] and White Matter Hyperintensities (WMH) [4]. A better knowledge of the association could lead to an improved management of risk, or at least lay a foundation for finding explanations for those correlation between the two, implying possible practical implications. In this study, we integrated two Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) datasets of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain traits and NAFLD through Mendelian Randomization (MR), aiming to determine causal relationship as well as the direction of causality between NAFLD and certain brain phenotypes. We found that the functional connectivity between the brain region responsible for vision and that associated with emotional responses is significantly reduced by a higher risk of NAFLD (b≈-0.13, pval≈2.3E-05). The enrichment analysis also shows that the functional connectivity between brain regions is more likely to be affected by NAFLD, while the structural connectivity (measured by dMRI) is less likely to be influenced. Together our result provides a systematic evaluation for the association between NAFLD and brain phenotypes, and prioritizes the functional connectivity that tends to be affected by NAFLD, which could offer insight for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of NAFLD-induced cerebral disorders.","PeriodicalId":432056,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Applications","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127871872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various genetic, physiological, and environmental factors could modulate this process. Maintaining proper conformation, concentration, and subcellular localization of proteins, proteostasis is critical for cellular functions and proteostasis collapse was proposed as one of the aging hallmarks. However, proteostasis is constantly challenged both pathologically and physiologically, especially in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER), the cellular protein processing hub. Therefore, Endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response (UPRER), a dedicated stress response pathway, was developed to deal with excess unfolded or misfolded protein and ultimately restore ER proteostasis. Here, recent advances in determining UPRER's role in aging were discussed first. Although accumulating evidence has suggested that UPRER contributes to aging causatively, such contribution is complicated and may depend on various factors including intensity, cell type, and duration. After that, several recent advances in determining the mechanisms through which UPRER contributes to aging, both cell autonomously and cell-nonautonomous, were discussed. UPRER's interconnection with other stress response pathways, aging hallmarks, and phenotypical markers of aging are discussed in the third section to provide a more holistic view of aging.","PeriodicalId":432056,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129176784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly, incomplete phenotypic data in public liver gene expression cohorts have cumbered many studies on the progression of NAFLD. To address this issue, the cutting-edge pseudotime analysis is adopted to estimate liver health status in human liver gene expression data. A set of 25 genes differentially expressed between the healthy controls and the NAFLD group samples are identified by differential expression (DE) Analysis. The identified DE genes separate the NAFLD patients and the healthy controls in hierarchical clustering, and their related biological pathways are highly relevant to liver signaling and injury, implying the close relationship between the DE gene expressions and NAFLD. What's more, the pseudotime analysis we conducted simulates the deterioration of NAFLD by using liver fat percent to represent NAFLD severity and aligning the candidate samples on the estimated trajectory according to their respective gene expression and covariates; we verified the pseudotime model using another microarray cohort. The verified pseudotime model is further applied to an RNA-Seq cohort (GTEx) to estimate the liver health status of samples that lacked phenotypic details. This model recurs the timeline of NAFLD progression and verifies the potential key roles of the expression of DE genes in this process. In conclusion, the expressions of the genes and their changes in distinct groups of samples are chronologically consistent with the progression of NAFLD severity. The pseudotime model can be used to impute the missing NAFLD phenotypes in public liver gene expression cohorts.","PeriodicalId":432056,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Applications","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115271547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These abrasive particles not only aggravate the wear of the friction pair but also have a series of biological reactions with human tissues, which will affect the service life of the joints and the health of patients. Therefore, studying the types and generation mechanism of abrasive particles is of great significance to improve the reliability and service life of artificial joints. However, the traditional artificial joint wear particle analysis methods require complicated operations such as tissue fluid decomposition, dilution, centrifugation, and filtration, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the chemical reagents used can also cause harm to the human body. To improve the automation level of artificial joint wear particle analysis and reduce manual intervention, an artificial joint wear particle analysis method is here proposed. This method is based on using image sequences for rapid extraction and classification of wear particle types. First, moving wear particles in the video are detected and tracked; then, extract the contour features of each particle for single-view recognition; finally, merge multi-view processing and Intelligent recognition to realize quantity statistics and morphological classification of artificial joint wear particles. Compared with the traditional analysis approaches, the proposed method achieves direct and rapid acquisition of the number and types of wear particles from the tissue fluid. This method can significantly reduce the labor and material costs, improve the analysis efficiency, and the wear state of the friction pair of the artificial joint.","PeriodicalId":432056,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Applications","volume":"320 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122630929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique that is extensively applied in brain studies due to being convenient and affordable by recording and measuring the potential differences between two regions on the scalp representing overall neuronal activity. Despite EEG being a beneficial technique, it has the main drawback of missing intracranial knowledge. In this paper, three different brain study approaches are introduced; Mathematical-based, Engineering-based and Medical-engineering-based. The achievements from each study represent the challenges in each approach and propose the possible future investigations. In addition, EEG primary definitions are explained comprehensively.

Firstly, the expression of each gene under different conditions is mapped to make it easy to use the knowledge of graph theory to mine rules. Then singular value decomposition (SVD) was used to obtain the spectral information of the map and characterize the gene expression rule. The information gene subset was selected according to the calculation of cosine Angle and distance between the map and the ideal template. Finally, experiments are carried out on two public DLBCL data sets, and the experimental results show that the classification accuracy is above 85% no matter how many information genes are selected or the parameters of the classifier are adjusted.
