Single-pixel imaging for edge images using deep neural networks.

Edge images are often used in computer vision, cellular morphology, and surveillance cameras, and are sufficient to identify the type of object. Single-pixel imaging (SPI) is a promising technique for wide-wavelength, low-light-level measurements. Conventional SPI-based edge-enhanced techniques have used shifting illumination patterns; however, this increases the number of the illumination patterns.

Model for Studying Anti- Allergic Drugs for Allergic Conjunctivitis in Animals.

Unlabelled: Allergic conjunctivitis (AC), which is characterized by ocular itching, hyperemia, and edema, deteriorates quality of life. In this study, effects of anti-allergic drugs were evaluated by assessing eye-scratching behavior, the number of eosinophils in conjunctiva epithelial tissues, and concentrations of chemical mediators in the tears of the guinea pig model of ovalbumin (OA)-induced AC.

Methodology: On day 0, 3-week-old guinea pigs were sensitized by OA subconjunctival injections.

Effect of hesperetin on chaperone activity in selenite-induced cataract.

Background: Chaperone activity of α-crystallin in the lens works to prevent protein aggregation and is important to maintain the lens transparency. This study evaluated the effect of hesperetin on lens chaperone activity in selenite-induced cataracts.

Methodology: Thirteen-day-old rats were divided into four groups.

The Extracellular C-loop Domain Plays an Important Role in the Cell Adhesion Function of Aquaporin 0.

Purpose: Although aquaporin 0 (AQP0) is a member of the AQP family, it has limited water permeability compared with other members. AQP0 may also have cell adhesion-related functions, but the evidence is still limited. Here, we studied the relationship of AQP0 to cell adhesion and determined the region required for cell adhesion.

Hesperetin prevents selenite-induced cataract in rats.

Purpose: This study investigated the ability of hesperetin, a natural flavonoid, to prevent selenite-induced cataracts in a rat model.

Methods: Animals were divided into four treatment groups: G1 (control group), G2 (hesperetin-treated group), G3 (selenite-induced cataract group), and G4 (hesperetin-treated selenite cataract group). Animals in the G1 and G3 groups were injected with vehicle alone, while those in the G2 and G4 groups received a subcutaneous injection of hesperetin (0.
