Plasmalogens Activate AKT/mTOR Signaling to Attenuate Reactive Oxygen Species Production in Spinal Cord Injury.

Background: Plasmalogens, the primary phospholipids in the brain, possess intrinsic antioxidant properties and are crucial components of the myelin sheath surrounding neuronal axons. While their neuroprotective effects have been demonstrated in Alzheimer's disease, their potential benefits in spinal cord injury remain unexplored. This study investigates the reparative effects of plasmalogens on spinal cord injury and the underlying mechanisms.

ICUnet++: an Inception-CBAM network based on Unet++ for MR spine image segmentation.

In recent years, more attention paid to the spine caused by related diseases, spinal parsing (the multi-class segmentation of vertebrae and intervertebral disc) is an important part of the diagnosis and treatment of various spinal diseases. The more accurate the segmentation of medical images, the more convenient and quick the clinicians can evaluate and diagnose spinal diseases. Traditional medical image segmentation is often time consuming and energy consuming.
