High spatial resolution diffuse optical tomography based on cross-correlation of chaotic light.

A diffuse optical tomography system with chaotic laser is proposed for the three-dimensional optical phantom. The high signal-to-noise ratio is beneficial to improve the spatial resolution of diffuse optical tomography. It is essential to drive the chaotic laser as the incident light into the optical phantom.

Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Suggesting a Diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome: a Diagnostic Dilemma.

Background: Although acute promyelocytic leukemia displays a wide spectrum of morphological variants, the classic morphological variants are defined as hypergranular variants and the hypogranular or microgranular form.

Methods: We report here for the first time a rare morphological variant of APL mimicking myelodysplastic syndrome. A 49-year-old man presented with pancytopenia.

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 induces endothelial cell apoptosis in vitro through a p53-dependent mitochondrial pathway.

The cystine-cystine (CC) chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) has been established playing a pathogenic role in the development of atherosclerosis due to its chemotactic ability of leading monocytes to locate to subendothelia. Recent studies have revealed more MCP-1 functions other than chemotaxis. Here we reported that various concentrations (0.
