Image analysis can play an important role in supporting histopathological diagnoses of lung cancer, with deep learning methods already achieving remarkable results. However, due to the large scale of whole-slide images (WSIs), creating manual pixel-wise annotations from expert pathologists is expensive and time-consuming. In addition, the heterogeneity of tumors and similarities in the morphological phenotype of tumor subtypes have caused inter-observer variability in annotations, which limits optimal performance.

Brain tumor segmentation is a key step in brain cancer diagnosis. Segmentation of brain tumor sub-regions, including necrotic, enhancing, and edematous regions, can provide more detailed guidance for clinical diagnosis. Weakly supervised brain tumor segmentation methods have received much attention because they do not require time-consuming pixel-level annotations.

Methods: Data concerning patient's age, gender, diagnostic logout, admission time, discharge time, residence area, and work area (residence area and work area were used to ensure research area) from 2017 to 2019 were obtained from the Neck-Shoulder and Lumbocrural Pain Hospital in Jinan, China. A total of 1,450 hospitalization records were collected in total.

(PV) has a long history of application in traditional Chinese and Western medicine as a remedy for the treatment of subacute thyroiditis (SAT). This study applied network pharmacology to elucidate the mechanism of the effects of PV against SAT. Components of the potential therapeutic targets of PV and SAT-related targets were retrieved from databases.
