GLP-1 Relaxes Rat Coronary Arteries by Enhancing ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Currents by Qian-Feng Xiong, Shao-Hua Fan, Xue-Wen Li, Yu Niu, Jing Wang, Xin Zhang, Yi-Fan Chen, Ya-Wei Shi, Li-Hui Zhang

“…Here, we report that GLP-1 inhibits depolarization- or thromboxane receptor agonist (U46619)-induced RCA contraction in a dosage-dependent manner. Vasorelaxation was attenuated by denuding the endothelium, L-NAME (nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), and glyburide (KATP channel blocker) but was not affected by indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor), iberiotoxin [Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCa) blocker], or 4-aminopyridine (KV channel blocker). …”

High-performance federated continual learning algorithm for heterogeneous streaming data by Hui JIANG, Tianliu HE, Min LIU, Sheng SUN, Yuwei WANG

“…Aiming at the problems of poor model performance and low training efficiency in training streaming data of AI models that provide intelligent services, a high-performance federated continual learning algorithm for heterogeneous streaming data (FCL-HSD) was proposed in the distributed terminal system with privacy data.In order to solve the problem of the current model forgetting old data, a model with dynamically extensible structure was introduced in the local training stage, and an extension audit mechanism was designed to ensure the capability of the AI model to recognize old data at the cost of small storage overhead.Considering the heterogeneity of terminal data, a customized global model strategy based on data distribution similarity was designed at the central server side, and an aggregation-by-block manner was implemented for different modules of the model.The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm were verified under various data increment scenarios with different data sets.Experimental results show that, compared with existing works, the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the model performance to classify old data on the premise of ensuring the capability to classify new data.…”
