Deterministic convergence of chaos injection-based gradient method for training feedforward neural networks

It has been shown that, by adding a chaotic sequence to the weight update during the training of neural networks, the chaos injection-based gradient method (CIBGM) is superior to the standard backpropagation algorithm. This paper presents the theoretical convergence analysis of CIBGM for training feedforward neural networks. We consider both the case of batch learning as well as the case of online learning. Under mild conditions, we prove the weak convergence, i.e., the training error tends to a constant and the gradient of the error function tends to zero. Moreover, the strong convergence of CIBGM is also obtained with the help of an extra condition. The theoretical results are substantiated by a simulation example.     

Biochemical,biophysical, and genetic changes of porcine trophoblast‐derived stem‐like cells during differentiation as evaluated using Raman microspectroscopy,Atomic force microscopy,and quantitative polymerase chain reaction

Porcine trophoblast‐derived stem‐like cells grown into serum medium start to differentiate and become senescent within 30 days. However, trophoblast‐derived cells, cultured in vitro in a defined and non‐serum medium, have the regenerative properties, such as indefinite passage and foreign DNA receptivity, similar to stem cells. To evaluate the biochemical, biophysical, and genetic changes of the terminal differentiation of trophoblast derived cells, Raman microspectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and qPCR were applied. It was found that Raman spectral intensities of characteristic peaks, cell morphology, and Young's modulus can be used to distinguish differentiated and undifferentiated trophoblast cells. In addition, 17 cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix‐related genes were significantly impacted by medium type (non‐serum versus serum). Our findings suggest that Raman microspectroscopy and atomic force microscopy—both considered as label‐free, non‐invasive techniques—can be applied to distinguish differentiated trophoblast cells, and cellular biochemical information and biophysical properties can be indicative of cellular differences during cell differentiation. In addition, most of cytoskeleton‐related genes exhibit similar pattern to that of Young's modulus during trophoblast cell differentiation, indicating the potential connection between cytoskeleton‐related genes and cellular stiffness. genesis 53:749–761, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Comparative two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the salivary proteome of children with autism spectrum disorder

In the last decades, prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been on the rise. However, clear aetiology is still elusive and improvements in early diagnosis are needed. To uncover possible biomarkers present in ASD, we used two‐dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and nanoliquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC‐MS/MS), to compare salivary proteome profiling of children with ASD and controls. A total of 889 spots were compared and only those spots with a fold change ≥1.7 and a P‐value <0.05 or a fold change of ≥3.0 between ASD cases and controls were analysed by nanoLC‐MS/MS. Alpha‐amylase, CREB‐binding protein, p532, Transferrin, Zn alpha2 glycoprotein, Zymogen granule protein 16, cystatin D and plasminogen were down‐regulated in ASD. Increased expression of proto‐oncogene Frequently rearranged in advanced T‐cell lymphomas 1 (FRAT1), Kinesin family member 14, Integrin alpha6 subunit, growth hormone regulated TBC protein 1, parotid secretory protein, Prolactin‐inducible protein precursor, Mucin‐16, Ca binding protein migration inhibitory factor‐related protein 14 (MRP14) was observed in individuals with ASD. Many of the identified proteins have previously been linked to ASD or were proposed as risk factors of ASD at the genetic level. Some others are involved in pathological pathways implicated in ASD causality such as oxidative stress, lipid and cholesterol metabolism, immune system disturbances and inflammation. These data could contribute to protein signatures for ASD presence, risk and subtypes, and advance understanding of ASD cause as well as provide novel treatment targets for ASD.     

A novel colorimetric assay of β‐D‐glucans in basidiomycete strains by alcian blue dye in a 96‐well microtiter plate

Basidiomycete strains synthesize several types of β‐d ‐glucans, which play a major role in the medicinal properties of mushrooms. Therefore, the specific quantification of these β‐d ‐glucans in mushroom strains is of great biochemical importance. Because published assay methods for these β‐d ‐glucans present some disadvantages, a novel colorimetric assay method for β‐d ‐glucan with alcian blue dye was developed. The complex formation was detected by following the decrease in absorbance in the range of 620 nm and by hypsochromic shift from 620 to 606 nm (～14 nm) in UV‐Vis spectrophotometer. Analysis of variance was used for optimization of the slope of the calibration curve by using the assay mixture containing 0.017% (w/v) alcian blue in 2% (v/v) acetic acid at pH 3.0. The high‐throughput colorimetric assay method on microtiter plates was used for quantification of β‐d ‐glucans in the range of 0–0.8 μg, with a slope of 44.15 × 10^?2 and a limit of detection of 0.017 μg/well. Recovery experiments were carried out by using a sample of Hericium erinaceus, which exhibited a recovery of 95.8% for β‐1,3‐d ‐glucan. The present assay method exhibited a 10‐fold higher sensitivity and a 59‐fold lower limit of detection compared with the published method with congo red. β‐d ‐glucans of several mushrooms strains were isolated from fruiting bodies and mycelia, and they were quantified by this assay method. This assay method is fast, specific, simple, and it can be used to quantify β‐d ‐glucans from other biological sources. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.
