The CXCR2 chemokine receptor is known to have a significant impact on the initiation and control of inflammatory processes. However, its specific involvement in the sensation of itch is not yet fully understood. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the function of CXCR2 in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) by utilizing orofacial itch models induced by incision, chloroquine (CQ), and histamine.

Purpose: This study combines automatic segmentation and manual fine-tuning with an early fusion method to provide efficient clinical auxiliary diagnostic efficiency for fungal keratitis.

Methods: First, 423 high-quality anterior segment images of keratitis were collected in the Department of Ophthalmology of the Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital (China). The images were divided into fungal keratitis and non-fungal keratitis by a senior ophthalmologist, and all images were divided randomly into training and testing sets at a ratio of 8:2.

Article Synopsis
  • Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting both the optic nerve pathway and the visual cortex, but the dynamic connectivity of the visual cortex in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients was not previously studied.
  • A study involving 34 PACG patients and 34 healthy controls used a sliding window method to examine dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) changes in the primary visual cortex (V1).
  • Results indicated that PACG patients exhibited increased dFC between V1 and the calcarine region, suggesting heightened variability in functional connectivity in the visual network among these patients.
