Evaluation of Radiation Exposure and Influential Factors in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of the Head and Abdomen during Interventional Procedures.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a widely used imaging technique in interventional radiology. Although CBCT offers great advantages in terms of improving comprehension of complex angioarchitectures and guiding therapeutic decisions, its additional degree of radiation exposure has also aroused considerable concern. In this study, we aimed to assess radiation exposure and its influential factors in patients undergoing CBCT scans of the head and abdomen during interventional procedures.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting FcRH5 provide robust tumour-specific responses in murine xenograft models of multiple myeloma.

BCMA-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy demonstrates impressive clinical response in multiple myeloma (MM). However, some patients with BCMA-deficient tumours cannot benefit from this therapy, and others can experience BCMA antigen loss leading to relapse, thus necessitating the identification of additional CAR-T targets. Here, we show that FcRH5 is expressed on multiple myeloma cells and can be targeted with CAR-T cells.

FEDResNet: a flexible image encryption and decryption scheme based on end-to-end image diffusion with dilated ResNet.

Image encryption has emerged as a method of disguising an image with a noisy or meaningless appearance to prevent its content from being accessed by unauthorized users. We propose an architecture named flexible image encryption and decryption ResNet (FEDResNet) for diffusing an image in end-to-end mode. The architecture consists of an encryption network for diffusing the image and a decryption network for restoring the plaintext image from the diffused image.

Retrospective cohort study comparing the epidemiological and clinical characteristics between imported and local COVID-19 inpatients in Nanyang, China.

China has experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 since December 2019. This study investigated the differences between the imported and local cases of COVID-19 in Nanyang, China. In this study, a total of 129 COVID-19 confirmed cases with a clear epidemiological history admitted to hospitals in Nanyang from January 24 to February 26, 2020 were enrolled.

Serum level of co-expressed hub miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Sensitive and specific non-invasive biomarkers are urgently needed in order to improve the survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. We aim to identify serum hub miRNAs as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for PDAC. A total of 2578 serum miRNA expression data from 88 PDAC patients and 19 healthy subjects were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

The current and future potential geographic range of West Indian fruit fly, Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae).

The West Indian fruit fly, Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart), is one of the most important pests throughout the Americas. CLIMEX 3.0 and ArcGIS 9.

[The quantitative analysis of polycomponent PAHs by netural network based on data synthese and principal].

The present paper used synthesized data from the experiment samples to replace partial basic experiments, and increased the training samples amount from 14 to 27. In principal component analysis (PCA), the dimensionality of multivariate data was reduced to n principal components and almost all data information was kept. The PCA reduced the network's input nodes from 60 to 3 to simplify the neural network's structure.

[The preliminary research on information redundance in fluorescence spectral data process].

This paper presented the problem of information redundance factor in spectral data analysis. Three-component mixtures fluorescence spectra data of anthracene, pyrene and phenanthrene, which were typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were investigated through principal component regression analysis and move windows wavelength selection in chemometrics. Theoretical analysis and experimental result demonstrated that there was information redundancy in fluorescence signal; the data which have been optimized by redundancy techniques could show more realistic information of the test samples quantitatively, and for the multi-component mixed system with spectral overlapped seriously, analysis with the data which have been optimized through redundancy techniques could improve the sensitivity and stability of the models.
