Lymphoma, a heterogeneous group of blood cancers, presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its complex subtypes and variable clinical outcomes. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of lymphoma pathology. This review explores the potential of AI in lymphoma diagnosis, classification, prognosis prediction, and treatment planning, as well as addressing the challenges and future directions in this rapidly evolving field.

However, there is no facile one-step method for synthesizing these catalysts, because the synthesis of MXenes requires a strongly oxidizing environment and the preparation of platinum nanoalloys requires a strongly reducing environment and high temperatures. Hence, achieving coupling in one step is extremely challenging.

The purpose of our investigation is to explore the interaction among NF-κB, microRNA-155-5p (miR-155-5p), and Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1), and its effects on NAFLD by establishing a NAFLD model in Sprague Dawley rats. A highly-expressed miR-155-5p and NF-κB was revealed in the liver tissues of NAFLD rats, and a positive correlation was identified between miR-155-5p and NF-κB.

Herein, a novel strategy for the modification of VCT through molten salt thermal treatment is proposed. In the novel route, S heteroatoms were introduced into VCT through a substitution reaction during the dissolution of LiS in LiCl-KCl molten salts.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of a LIM homeodomain transcription factor, islet1 (ISL1) on NAFLD.
Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were fed with a diet high in fat content to produce NAFLD models.

Surface terminations of two-dimensional MXene (Ti C T ) considerably impact its physicochemical properties. Commonly used etching methods usually introduce -F surface terminations or metallic impurities in MXene. We present a new molten-salt-assisted electrochemical etching method to synthesize fluorine-free Ti C Cl .

In contrast to traditional photodetectors for broad-spectrum detection, the currently reported PbS/PMMA/PbSe CQD silicon-based photodetectors can detect spectrally selective light sources. This is attributed to two layers with specific functions, a filter layer on top and a photosensitive layer in contact with the silicon channel.

In-depth understanding the variation of vegetation spring phenology is important and nece-ssary for estimation and prediction of ecosystem response to climate change. Satellite-based estimation is one of the important methods for detecting the vegetation spring phenology in Northern Hemisphere. However, there are still many uncertainties among different remote sensing models.

Although the transcription factor RBPJ is essential for liver morphogenesis and biliary development, its specific function in the differentiation of hepatic progenitor cells (HPC) has not been investigated, and little is known about its role in adult liver regeneration. HPCs are bipotent liver stem cells that can self-replicate and differentiate into hepatocytes or cholangiocytes in vitro.

Conflicting results have been reported regarding the use of serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) as a promising serum marker for the diagnosis of HCC; therefore, the aim of the present study was to provide a systematic review of the diagnostic performance of GP73 for HCC. Following a systematic review of the relevant studies, a number of indices associated with the accuracy of the diagnostic performance of GP73, including the sensitivity and specificity, were pooled using Meta Disc 1.

Background: More clinically meaningful diagnostic tests are needed in pancreatic cancer (PC). K-ras mutations are the most frequently acquired genetic alteration.
Methods: Original research articles involving the diagnostic accuracy of K-ras mutation detection in PC were selected.
Background: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) remains a pivotal clinical problem after hemorrhagic shock, transplantation, and some types of toxic hepatic injury. Apoptosis and autophagy play important roles in cell death during HIRI. It is also known that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has significant pharmacologic effects on HIRI including elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attenuation of hepatic apoptosis.
