Comparative analysis for nutrients, flavor compounds, and lipidome revealed the edible value of pond-cultured male Pelodiscus sinensis with different ages.

Pelodiscus sinensis is an aquatic product with a long growth cycle in pond culture and high nutritional value meat. The flavor compounds, nutrients, and lipidome were investigated to explore the edible value changes of turtle meat aged 3 to 6 years (Y3 to Y6). Typically, P.

Segmentation and visualization of left atrium through a unified deep learning framework.

Purpose: Left atrium segmentation and visualization serve as a fundamental and crucial role in clinical analysis and understanding of atrial fibrillation. However, most of the existing methods are directly transmitting information, which may cause redundant information to be passed to affect segmentation performance. Moreover, they did not further consider atrial visualization after segmentation, which leads to a lack of understanding of the essential atrial anatomy.

High dietary lipid level alters the growth, hepatic metabolism enzyme, and anti-oxidative capacity in juvenile largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of high dietary lipid levels on growth, metabolism, antioxidant capacity, and immune responses of largemouth bass. Fish (initial body weight 13.38 ± 0.

Cardiac-DeepIED: Automatic Pixel-Level Deep Segmentation for Cardiac Bi-Ventricle Using Improved End-to-End Encoder-Decoder Network.

Accurate segmentation of cardiac bi-ventricle (CBV) from magnetic resonance (MR) images has a great significance to analyze and evaluate the function of the cardiovascular system. However, the complex structure of CBV image makes fully automatic segmentation as a well-known challenge. In this paper, we propose an improved end-to-end encoder-decoder network for CBV segmentation from the pixel level view (Cardiac-DeepIED).

Direct Segmentation-Based Full Quantification for Left Ventricle via Deep Multi-Task Regression Learning Network.

Quantitative analysis of the heart is extremely necessary and significant for detecting and diagnosing heart disease, yet there are still some challenges. In this study, we propose a new end-to-end segmentation-based deep multi-task regression learning model (Indices-JSQ) to make a holonomic quantitative analysis of the left ventricle (LV), which contains a segmentation network (Img2Contour) and multi-task regression network (Contour2Indices). First, Img2Contour, which contains a deep convolutional encoder-decoder module, is designed to obtain the LV contour.

Impairment of gill structural integrity by manganese deficiency or excess related to induction of oxidative damage, apoptosis and dysfunction of the physical barrier as regulated by NF-κB, caspase and Nrf2 signaling in fish.

This study is for the first time to explore the possible effects of dietary manganese (Mn) on structural integrity and the related signaling in the gills of fish. Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were fed with six diets containing graded levels of Mn [3.65-27.

Nutritive values, flavor amino acids, healthcare fatty acids and flesh quality improved by manganese referring to up-regulating the antioxidant capacity and signaling molecules TOR and Nrf2 in the muscle of fish.

Flesh quality, amino acid and fatty acid composition, antioxidant status and related molecule expression in fish muscle were estimated by feeding grass carp with diets containing 3.65-27.86mg/kg diet of manganese (Mn) for 8weeks.

Manganese deficiency or excess caused the depression of intestinal immunity, induction of inflammation and dysfunction of the intestinal physical barrier, as regulated by NF-κB, TOR and Nrf2 signalling, in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella).

Intestinal mucosal immune components and mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines, tight junction proteins, antioxidant enzymes and related signalling molecules in young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) under dietary manganese (Mn) deficiency or excess were investigated. Fish were fed the diets containing graded levels of Mn [3.65-27.
