DP-GAN+B: A lightweight generative adversarial network based on depthwise separable convolutions for generating CT volumes.

X-rays, commonly used in clinical settings, offer advantages such as low radiation and cost-efficiency. However, their limitation lies in the inability to distinctly visualize overlapping organs. In contrast, Computed Tomography (CT) scans provide a three-dimensional view, overcoming this drawback but at the expense of higher radiation doses and increased costs.

Development and validation of an interpretable radiomic nomogram for severe radiation proctitis prediction in postoperative cervical cancer patients.

Background: Radiation proctitis is a common complication after radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Unlike simple radiation damage to other organs, radiation proctitis is a complex disease closely related to the microbiota. However, analysis of the gut microbiota is time-consuming and expensive.

miR-20b and miR-125a promote tumorigenesis in radioresistant esophageal carcinoma cells.

Radiation therapy is an effective method in the management of esophageal cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play an important role in tumorigenesis. However, the roles of specific miRNAs in radioresistant esophageal cancer remain to be investigated.

The Predictive Value of MLR for Radiation Pneumonia During Radiotherapy of Thoracic Tumor Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive value of blood lymphocyte, monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for radiation pneumonia (RP) in patients with thoracic tumors receiving radiotherapy.

Patients And Methods: The clinical data of 65 patients with thoracic tumor (esophageal cancer, lung cancer) treated by radiotherapy in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the RP group and the non-RP group according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE 5.

The anterior cingulate cortex projection to the dorsomedial striatum modulates hyperalgesia in a chronic constriction injury mouse model.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to study the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)-dorsal midbrain striatum (DMS) in neuropathic pain in mice.

Material And Methods: Optogenetics has been increasingly used in neuroscience research to selectively and precisely control the activity of a defined group of central neurons to determine their roles in behavioral functions in animals. The most important opsins are blue-sensitive ChR2 and yellow-sensitive NpHR.
