Important Practical Application

This article describes the proposed approaches to creating distributed models that can, with given accuracy under given restrictions, replace classical physical models for construction objects. The ability to implement the proposed approaches is a consequence of the cyber-physical integration of building systems. The principles of forming the data structure of designed objects and distributed models, which make it possible to uniquely identify the elements and increase the level of detail of such a model, are presented. The data structure diagram of distributed modeling includes, among other things, the level of formation and transmission of signals about physical processes inside cyber-physical building systems. An enlarged algorithm for creating the structure of the distributed model which describes the process of developing a data structure, formalizing requirements for the parameters of a design object and its operating modes (including normal operating conditions and extreme conditions, including natural disasters) and selecting objects for a complete group that provides distributed modeling is presented. The article formulates the main approaches to the implementation of an important practical application of the cyber-physical integration of building systems - the possibility of forming distributed physical models of designed construction objects and the directions of further research are outlined.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease that leads to a high disability rate and a low quality of life. With the development of modern molecular biology techniques, some key genes and diagnostic markers have been reported. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of OA are still unknown. Objective: To develop a gene signature in OA. Method: In this study, five microarray data sets were integrated to conduct a comprehensive network and pathway analysis of the biological functions of OA related genes, which can provide valuable information and further explore the etiology and pathogenesis of OA. Results and Discussion: Differential expression analysis identified 180 genes with significantly expressed expression in OA. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the up-regulated genes were associated with rheumatoid arthritis (p < 0.01). Down-regulated genes regulate the biological processes of negative regulation of kinase activity and some signaling pathways such as MAPK signaling pathway (p < 0.001) and IL-17 signaling pathway (p < 0.001). In addition, the OA specific protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed based on the differentially expressed genes. The analysis of network topological attributes showed that differentially upregulated VEGFA, MYC, ATF3 and JUN genes were hub genes of the network, which may influence the occurrence and development of OA through regulating cell cycle or apoptosis, and were potential biomarkers of OA. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) method was used to establish the diagnosis model of OA, which not only had excellent predictive power in internal and external data sets (AUC > 0.9), but also had high predictive performance in different chip platforms (AUC > 0.9) and also had effective ability in blood samples (AUC > 0.8). Conclusion: The 4-genes diagnostic model may be of great help to the early diagnosis and prediction of OA.

Aim and Objective: Cardiovascular disease is a serious threat to human health because of its high mortality and morbidity rates. At present, there is no effective treatment. In Southeast Asia, traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Quercetin is a flavonoid extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves. Basic experiments and clinical studies have shown that quercetin has a significant effect on the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, its precise mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to exploit the network pharmacological potential effects of quercetin on cardiovascular disease. Materials and Methods: In the present study, a novel network pharmacology strategy based on pharmacokinetic filtering, target fishing, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, compound-target-pathway network structured was performed to explore the anti- cardiovascular disease mechanism of quercetin. Results:: The outcomes showed that quercetin possesses favorable pharmacokinetic profiles, which have interactions with 47 cardiovascular disease-related targets and 12 KEGG signaling pathways to provide potential synergistic therapeutic effects. Following the construction of Compound-Target-Pathway (C-T-P) network, and the network topological feature calculation, we obtained top 10 core genes in this network which were AKT1, IL1B, TNF, IL6, JUN, CCL2, FOS, VEGFA, CXCL8, and ICAM1. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. These indicated that quercetin produced the therapeutic effects against cardiovascular disease by systemically and holistically regulating many signaling pathways, including Fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, TNF signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

Aims: We would like to identify the biomarkers for chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) and facilitate the precise gene therapy of CHP. Background: Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) is an interstitial lung disease caused by hypersensitive reactions to inhaled antigens. Clinically, the tasks of differentiating between CHP and other interstitial lungs diseases, especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), were challenging. Objective: In this study, we analyzed the public available gene expression profile of 82 CHP patients, 103 IPF patients, and 103 control samples to identify the CHP biomarkers. Method: The CHP biomarkers were selected with advanced feature selection methods: Monte Carlo Feature Selection (MCFS) and Incremental Feature Selection (IFS). A Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier was built. Then, we analyzed these CHP biomarkers through functional enrichment analysis and differential co-expression analysis. Result: There were 674 identified CHP biomarkers. The co-expression network of these biomarkers in CHP included more negative regulations and the network structure of CHP was quite different from the network of IPF and control. Conclusion: The SVM classifier may serve as an important clinical tool to address the challenging task of differentiating between CHP and IPF. Many of the biomarker genes on the differential co-expression network showed great promise in revealing the underlying mechanisms of CHP.
