Expression levels and diagnostic value of serum GDNF, CEA and CA199 in patients with colorectal carcinoma.

Background: To investigate the expression levels and diagnostic value of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen199 (CA199) in patients with colorectal carcinoma (CRC).

Methods: 50 CRC patients at our hospital from Feb. 2020 to Feb.

Brain tumor classification in MRI image using convolutional neural network.

Brain tumor is a severe cancer disease caused by uncontrollable and abnormal partitioning of cells. Recent progress in the field of deep learning has helped the health industry in Medical Imaging for Medical Diagnostic of many diseases. For Visual learning and Image Recognition, task CNN is the most prevalent and commonly used machine learning algorithm.

[Effects of pulsed ultrasound and pulsed electromagnetic field on the extracellular matrix secretion of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell pellets in chondrogenesis].

Objective: To study the effects of pulsed ultrasound (PUS) and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on the secretion of extracellular matrix from a culture complex during in vitro chondrogenesis.

Methods: All the rat bone marrow mesen- chymal stem cell pellets were cultured in achondrogenic medium. Different intensities of PUS (100, 150, and 200 mW · cm⁻²) and PEMF (1, 2, and 5 mT) were applied to the cell pellets for 2 weeks.

Resveratrol Upregulates Cardiac SDF-1 in Mice with Acute Myocardial Infarction through the Deacetylation of Cardiac p53.

Aims: We previously demonstrated that resveratrol (RSV) administration causes cardiac stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 upregulation and can enhance the mobilization of stem cells in mice with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the upstream signal transduction involved in SDF-1 regulation in the setting of AMI and RSV administration remains unclear. Because RSV is a sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activator and SIRT proteins act as deacetylases, we investigated the role of SIRT1 in SDF-1 upregulation and its subsequent effects.

Dynamic behavior analysis of fractional-order Hindmarsh-Rose neuronal model.

Previous experimental work has shown that the firing rate of multiple time-scales of adaptation for single rat neocortical pyramidal neurons is consistent with fractional-order differentiation, and the fractional-order neuronal models depict the firing rate of neurons more verifiably than other models do. For this reason, the dynamic characteristics of the fractional-order Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuronal model were here investigated. The results showed several obvious differences in dynamic characteristic between the fractional-order HR neuronal model and an integer-ordered model.
