Structural elucidation of hemicelluloses from oil-tea camellia fruit shell.

Oil-tea camellia fruit shell (CFS) is a very abundant waste lignocellulosic resource. The current treatments of CFS, i.e.

Computed tomography-based COVID-19 triage through a deep neural network using mask-weighted global average pooling.

Background: There is an urgent need to find an effective and accurate method for triaging coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients from millions or billions of people. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a novel deep-learning approach for COVID-19 triage based on chest computed tomography (CT) images, including normal, pneumonia, and COVID-19 cases.

Methods: A total of 2,809 chest CT scans (1,105 COVID-19, 854 normal, and 850 non-3COVID-19 pneumonia cases) were acquired for this study and classified into the training set (n = 2,329) and test set (n = 480).

Phytochemical constituents of fruit cores with antithrombotic activity.

is a new species of the genus and is an economically important ornamental plant. Its activity and ingredients are less studied than other plants. This study investigated the antithrombotic effect and chemical components of fruit cores using platelet aggregation assays and coagulation function tests.

Identification and expression analysis of genes in tea plant exposed to anthracnose pathogen and drought stresses.

The plant U-box (PUB) gene family, one of the major ubiquitin ligase families in plants, plays important roles in multiple cellular processes including environmental stress responses and resistance. The function of U-box genes has been well characterized in and other plants. However, little is known about the tea plant () genes.

Feasibility of quantitative parameters of dynamically enhanced patterns of spiral computed tomography scanning integrated into tumour progression before targeted treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.

Introduction: The relationship between quantitative parameters of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression remains controversial. We aimed to explore the usefulness of contrast-enhanced spiral CT scanning for confirming the time of tumour progression before targeted treatment of NSCLC.

Methods: Contrast-enhanced spiral CT scanning was performed on 33 NSCLC patients with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of NSCLC.
