Therefore, an ITCG with field-of-view (FOV) constraints based on biased proportional navigation guidance (PNG) is developed in this paper. The remaining flight time (time-to-go) estimation method is derived considering aerodynamic force and gravity. The number of differential equations is reduced and the integration step is increased by changing the integral variable, which makes it possible to obtain time-to-go through integration. An impact time controller with FOV constraints is proposed by analyzing the influence of the biased term on time-to-go and FOV constraint. Then, numerical simulations are performed to verify the correctness and superiority of the method.展开更多

文摘Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is the most common head and neck malignancy worldwide,accounting for more than 90%of all oral cancers,and is characterized by high invasiveness and poor long-term prognosis.Its etiology is multifactorial,involving tobacco use,alcohol consumption,and human papillomavirus(HPV)infection.Oral leukoplakia and erythroplakia are the main precancerous lesions lesions,with oral leukoplakia being the most common.Both OSCC and premalignant lesions are closely associated with aberrant activation of multiple signaling pathways.Post-translational modifications(such as ubiquitination and deubiquitination)play key roles in regulating these pathways by controlling protein stability and activity.Growing evidence indicates that dysregulated ubiquitination/deubiquitination can mediate OSCC initiation and progression via aberrant activation of signaling pathways.The ubiquitination/deubiquitination process mainly involves E3 ligases(E3s)that catalyze substrate ubiquitination,deubiquitinating enzymes(DUBs)that remove ubiquitin chains,and the 26S proteasome complex that degrades ubiquitinated substrates.Abnormal expression or mutation of E3s and DUBs can lead to altered stability of critical tumorrelated proteins,thereby driving OSCC initiation and progression.Therefore,understanding the aberrantly activated signaling pathways in OSCC and the ubiquitination/deubiquitination mechanisms within these pathways will help elucidate the molecular mechanisms and improve OSCC treatment by targeting relevant components.Here,we summarize four aberrantly activated signaling pathways in OSCC―the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway,Wnt/β-catenin pathway,Hippo pathway,and canonical NF-κB pathway―and systematically review the regulatory mechanisms of ubiquitination/deubiquitination within these pathways,along with potential drug targets.PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is aberrantly activated in approximately 70%of OSCC cases.It is modulated by E3s(e.g.,FBXW7 and NEDD4)and DUBs(e.g.,USP7 and USP10):FBXW7 and USP10 inhibit signaling,while NEDD4 and USP7 potentiate it.Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway leads toβ-catenin nuclear translocation and induction of cell proliferation.This pathway is modulated by E3s(e.g.,c-Cbl and RNF43)and DUBs(e.g.,USP9X and USP20):c-Cbl and RNF43 inhibit signaling,while USP9X and USP20 potentiate it.Hippo pathway inactivation permits YAP/TAZ to enter the nucleus and promotes cancer cell metastasis.This pathway is modulated by E3s(e.g.,CRL4^(DCAF1) and SIAH2)and DUBs(e.g.,USP1 and USP21):CRL4^(DCAF1) and SIAH2 inhibit signaling,while USP1 and USP21 potentiate it.Persistent activation of the canonical NF-κB pathway is associated with an inflammatory microenvironment and chemotherapy resistance.This pathway is modulated by E3s(e.g.,TRAF6 and LUBAC)and DUBs(e.g.,A20 and CYLD):A20 and CYLD inhibit signaling,while TRAF6 and LUBAC potentiate it.Targeting these E3s and DUBs provides directions for OSCC drug research.Small-molecule inhibitors such as YCH2823(a USP7 inhibitor),GSK2643943A(a USP20 inhibitor),and HOIPIN-8(a LUBAC inhibitor)have shown promising antitumor activity in preclinical models;PROTAC molecules,by binding to surface sites of target proteins and recruiting E3s,achieve targeted ubiquitination and degradation of proteins insensitive to small-molecule inhibitors,for example,PU7-1-mediated USP7 degradation,offering new strategies to overcome traditional drug limitations.Currently,NX-1607(a Cbl-b inhibitor)has entered phase I clinical trials,with preliminary results confirming its safety and antitumor activity.Future research on aberrant E3s and DUBs in OSCC and the development of highly specific inhibitors will be of great significance for OSCC precision therapy.

文摘The acquisition,tracking,and pointing(ATP)system is widely used in target tracking,counter-UAV operations,and other related fields.As UAV technology develops,there is a growing demand to enhance the tracking capabilities of ATP systems.However,in practical applications,ATP systems face various design constraints and functional limitations,making it infeasible to indefinitely improve hardware performance to meet tracking requirements.As a result,tracking algorithms are required to execute increasingly complex tasks.This study introduces a multi-rate feedforward predictive controller to address issues such as low image feedback frequency and significant delays in ATP systems,which lead to tracking jitter,poor tracking performance,low precision,and target loss.At the same time,the pro-posed approach aims to improve the tracking capabilities of ATP systems for high-speed and highly maneuverable targets under conditions of low sampling feedback rates and high feedback delays.The method suggested is also characterized by its low order,fast response,and robustness to model parameter variations.In this study,an actual ATP system is built for target tracking test,and the proposed algorithm is fully validated in terms of simulation and actual system application verification.Results from both simulations and experiments demonstrate that the method effectively compensates for delays and low sampling rates.For targets with relative angular velocities ranging from 0 to 90°/s and angular accelerations between 0 and 470°/s^(2),the system improved tracking accuracy by 70.0%-89.9%at a sampling frequency of 50 Hz and a delay of 30 m s.Moreover,the compensation algorithm demonstrated consistent performance across actuators with varying characteristics,further confirming its robustness to model insensitivity.In summary,the proposed algorithm considerably enhances the tracking accuracy and capability of ATP systems for high-speed and highly maneuverable targets,reducing the probability of target loss from high speed.This approach offers a practical solution for future multi-target tracking across diverse operational scenarios.
文摘Momordica antiviral protein 30 kD(MAP30)is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein(RIP)with antibacterial,anti-HIV and antitumor activities but lacks the ability to target tumor cells.To increase its tumor-targeting ability,the arginine-glycine-aspartic(RGD)peptide and the epidermal growth factor receptor interference(EGFRi)peptide were fused with MAP30,which was named ELRL-MAP30.The efficiency of targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)MDA-MB-231 cells,which lack the expression of estrogen receptor(ER),Progesterone receptor(PgR)and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2),is limited.In this study,we focus on exploring the effect and mechanism of ELRL-MAP30 on TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells.First,we discovered that ELRL-MAP30 significantly inhibited the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells and induced MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis.Moreover,ELRL-MAP30 treatment resulted in a significant increase in Bax expression and a decrease in Bcl-2 expression.Furthermore,ELRL-MAP30 triggered apoptosis via the Fak/EGFR/Erk and Ilk/Akt signaling pathways.In addition,recombinant ELRL-MAP30 can inhibit chicken embryonic angiogenesis,and also inhibit the tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs),indicating its potential therapeutic effects on tumor angiogenesis.Collectively,these results indicate that ELRL-MAP30 has significant tumor-targeting properties in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells and reveals potential therapeutic effects on angiogenesis.These findings indicate the potential role of ELRL-MAP30 in the targeted treatment of the TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231.
文摘This paper proposes a distributed event-triggered control(ETC)framework to address cooperative target fencing challenges in UAV swarm.The proposed architecture eliminates the reliance on preset formation parameters while achieving multi-objective cooperative control for target fencing,network connectivity preservation,collision avoidance,and communication efficiency optimization.Firstly,a differential state observer is constructed to obtain the target's unmeasurable states.Secondly,leveraging swarm selforganization principles,a geometric-constraint-free distributed fencing controller is designed by integrating potential field methods with consensus theory.The controller dynamically adjusts inter-UAV distances via single potential function,enabling coordinated optimization of persistent network connectivity and collision-free motion during target fencing.Thirdly,a dual-threshold ETC mechanism based on velocity consensus deviation and fencing error is proposed,which can be triggered based on task features to dynamically adjust the communication frequency,significantly reduce the communication burden and exclude Zeno behavior.Theoretical analysis demonstrates the stability of closed-loop systems.Multi-scenario simulations show that the proposed method can achieve robust fencing under target maneuverability,partial UAV failures,and communication disturbances.

文摘In the existing impact time control guidance (ITCG) laws for moving-targets, the effects of time-varying velocity caused by aerodynamics and gravity cannot be effectively con-sidered. Therefore, an ITCG with field-of-view (FOV) constraints based on biased proportional navigation guidance (PNG) is developed in this paper. The remaining flight time (time-to-go) estimation method is derived considering aerodynamic force and gravity. The number of differential equations is reduced and the integration step is increased by changing the integral variable, which makes it possible to obtain time-to-go through integration. An impact time controller with FOV constraints is proposed by analyzing the influence of the biased term on time-to-go and FOV constraint. Then, numerical simulations are performed to verify the correctness and superiority of the method.

文摘Compared with single-domain unmanned swarms,cross-domain unmanned swarms continue to face new challenges in terms of platform performance and constraints.In this paper,a joint unmanned swarm target assignment and mission trajectory planning method is proposed to meet the requirements of cross-domain unmanned swarm mission planning.Firstly,the different performances of cross-domain heterogeneous platforms and mission requirements of targets are characterised by using a collection of operational resources.Secondly,an algorithmic framework for joint target assignment and mission trajectory planning is proposed,in which the initial planning of the trajectory is performed in the target assignment phase,while the trajectory is further optimised afterwards.Next,the estimation of the distribution algorithms is combined with the genetic algorithm to solve the objective function.Finally,the algorithm is numerically simulated by specific cases.Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can perform effective task assignment and trajectory planning for cross-domain unmanned swarms.Furthermore,the solution performance of the hybrid estimation of distribution algorithm(EDA)-genetic algorithm(GA)algorithm is better than that of GA and EDA.
