COVID-19急症与重症宿主内动力学建模研究

为了研究COVID-19的宿主内动力学、分析急症患者与重症患者之间的差异,本文提出了一个TCL-IR模型。首先,基于靶细胞限制模型和免疫应答模型构建TCL-IR模型,并获得宿主内再生数的表达式;其次,结合已有研究确定模型中的部分参数,再采用自适应Metropolis算法进行未知参数的估计;最后,根据所得结果对急症、重症患者之间的差异进行分析。结果显示,急症和重症患者在免疫反应和病毒载量上均有一定差别。急症患者的T细胞增殖系数为0.652,免疫凋亡速率为4.137×10^-6;重症患者的T细胞增殖系数为0.266,免疫凋亡速率为3.283×10^-6。急症患者的病毒载量在35 d左右达到峰值,约为7.20×10⁴copies/mL;重症患者的病毒载量在28 d左右达到峰值且峰值更高,约为1.38×10⁵copies/mL。根据结果分析和文献印证,研究发现部分急症患者的病情加重并不是因为体内过高的病毒载量,而是因为自身过度的免疫反应。因此,急症患者的治疗需要考虑免疫调节方案。     

Modeling Metal Flow Systems

Substance flow analysis (SFA) is a frequently used industrial ecology technique for studying societal metal flows, but it is limited in its ability to inform us about future developments in metal flow patterns and how we can affect them. Equation‐based simulation modeling techniques, such as dynamic SFA and system dynamics, can usefully complement static SFA studies in this respect, but they are also restricted in several ways. The objective of this article is to demonstrate the ability of agent‐based modeling to overcome these limitations and its usefulness as a tool for studying societal metal flow systems. The body of the article summarizes the parallel implementation of two models—an agent‐based model and a system dynamics model—both addressing the following research question: What conditions foster the development of a closed‐loop flow network for metals in mobile phones? The results from in silico experimentation with these models highlight three important differences between agent‐based modeling (ABM) and equation‐based modeling (EBM) techniques. An analysis of how these differences affected the insights that could be extracted from the constructed models points to several key advantages of ABM in the study of metal flow systems. In particular, this analysis suggests that a key advantage of the ABM technique is its flexibility to enable the representation of societal metal flow systems in a more native manner. This added flexibility endows modelers with enhanced leverage to identify options for steering metal flows and opens new opportunities for using the metaphor of an ecosystem to understand metal flow systems more fully.

Modeling resistance to genetic control of insects

The sterile insect technique is an area-wide pest control method that reduces pest populations by releasing mass-reared sterile insects which compete for mates with wild insects. Modern molecular tools have created possibilities for improving and extending the sterile insect technique. As with any new insect control method, questions arise about potential resistance. Genetic RIDL^®1 (Release of Insects carrying a Dominant Lethal) technology is a proposed modification of the technique, releasing insects that are homozygous for a repressible dominant lethal genetic construct rather than being sterilized by irradiation. Hypothetical resistance to the lethal mechanism is a potential threat to RIDL strategies' effectiveness. Using population genetic and population dynamic models, we assess the circumstances under which monogenic biochemically based resistance could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of releases for population control. We assume that released insects would be homozygous susceptible to the lethal genetic construct and therefore releases would have a built-in element of resistance dilution. We find that this effect could prevent or limit the spread of resistance to RIDL constructs; the outcomes are subject to competing selective forces deriving from the fitness properties of resistance and the release ratio. Resistance that is spreading and capable of having a significant detrimental impact on population reduction is identifiable, signaling in advance a need for mitigating action.     

Redefining the Ojibwe Classroom: Indigenous Language Programs within Large Research Universities

Indigenous languages are powerful symbols of self-determination and sovereignty for tribal communities in the United States, and many community-based programs have been developed to support and maintain them. The successes of these programs, however, have been difficult to replicate at large research institutions. This article examines the issues of incorporating Indigenous languages into the university system by focusing on a series of language events developed as part of the Ojibwe language program at Michigan State University. These language events demonstrate a way for communities to participate in and maintain control of Indigenous language programs despite their location in nontribal educational institutions.     

Modeling and experimental study on the anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic process for simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal: The effect of acetate addition

A mathematical model based on the simulation software AQUASIM was developed to validate an anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic (AOA) process that enables simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal in a single reactor by adding external organic carbon to preclude excess aerobic phosphate uptake by polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) and provide phosphate for denitrifying PAOs (DNPAOs). Aerobic batch tests after anaerobic phosphate release with different chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations indicated that the effect of COD concentration on the phosphate uptake preclusion could be expressed by a simple formula. The reduction factor reflecting the formula, which retards the aerobic phosphate uptake in the presence of COD, was added to the process rates of aerobic polyphosphate storage and PAOs growth in the model. The improved model, which included the reduction factor, reasonably matched the experimental result regarding aerobic phosphate uptake behavior whereas the model without it did not; thus, the former precisely predicts the AOA process behavior.

Modeling the Tertiary Structure of the Patatin Domain of Neuropathy Target Esterase

Neuropathy target esterase (NTE) is a transmembrane protein of unknown function whose specific chemical modification by certain organophosphorus (OP) compounds leads to distal axonopathy. Therefore, solving the 3D structure of NTE would advance the understanding of its pathogenic and physiologic roles. In this study, the tertiary structures of the patatin (catalytic) domain and the N-terminal transmembrane domain of NTE were modeled using the crystal structures of patatin (PDB ID 1oxw) and moricin (PDB ID 1kv4) as templates. Sequence alignments and secondary structure predictions were obtained from the INUB server (Buffalo, NY). O and PyMol were used to build the PNTE and NTE TMD chains from these sequence alignments. The PNTE model was refined in the presence of water using the crystallography and NMR system, while the NTE TMD model was refined in vacuo using the GROMOS implementation in the Swiss PDB viewer. The modeled active site of NTE was found to consist of a Ser966-Asp1086 catalytic dyad, which is characteristic of phospholipase A2 enzymes. The Ser966 Ogamma was located 2.93 A from the Odelta2 of Asp1086. In addition, our NTE model was found to contain a single N-terminal transmembrane domain. This modeling effort provided structural and mechanistic predictions about the catalytic domain of NTE that are being verified via experimental techniques.     

Modeling Epistasis in Genomic Selection

Modeling epistasis in genomic selection is impeded by a high computational load. The extended genomic best linear unbiased prediction (EG-BLUP) with an epistatic relationship matrix and the reproducing kernel Hilbert space regression (RKHS) are two attractive approaches that reduce the computational load. In this study, we proved the equivalence of EG-BLUP and genomic selection approaches, explicitly modeling epistatic effects. Moreover, we have shown why the RKHS model based on a Gaussian kernel captures epistatic effects among markers. Using experimental data sets in wheat and maize, we compared different genomic selection approaches and concluded that prediction accuracy can be improved by modeling epistasis for selfing species but may not for outcrossing species.
