Enhancing brain image quality with 3D U-net for stripe removal in light sheet fluorescence microscopy.

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) is increasingly popular in neuroimaging for its ability to capture high-resolution 3D neural data. However, the presence of stripe noise significantly degrades image quality, particularly in complex 3D stripes with varying widths and brightness, posing challenges in neuroscience research. Existing stripe removal algorithms excel in suppressing noise and preserving details in 2D images with simple stripes but struggle with the complexity of 3D stripes.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Hericiaceae, Basidiomycota).

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the medicinal mushroom (Hericiaceae, Basidiomycota) was sequenced. This mitochondrial genome is 72,961 bp in length and consisted of 14 protein-coding genes, 21 hypothetical open reading frames, 2 ribosomal RNA subunits and 27 transfer RNAs. The overall nucleotide composition of is 41.

Evaluation of Cranial and Cervical Arteries and Brain Tissue in Transient Ischemic Attack Patients with Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Diffusion-Weighted Imaging.

Background: Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) have been widely used in the prediction of ischemic stroke; however, the differences of the 2 methods in detection the artery lesion differences between transient ischemic attack (TIA) and infarction patients have been long neglected. We performed the present study to investigate the differences between vessel characteristics detected by MRA and DWI in acute stroke and TIA patients.

Material And Methods: We classified 110 subjects into 2 groups and all the patients underwent both MRA and DWI.

[Immunosuppressive effect of Tibetan medicine, Artemisia vestita Wall Extract].

Objective: To assess the immunosuppressive effect of Artemisia vestita Wall Extract (AV-ext) on mice.

Methods: The proliferative reaction of lymphocyte and the mixed lymphocytes reaction were used to determine the effects of AV-ext on the proliferation of mouse splenocyte in vitro and in vivo; Proliferative reaction of mouse splenocyte was used for detecting the effects of AV-ext on the level of IL-2 secreted by mouse activated splenocyte in vitro. Gelatin enzymogram method and adherence analytical method were employed to disclose the effects of AV-ext on mouse activated T-lymphocytes mobility and adherence.
