A segmentation-based algorithm for classification of benign and malignancy Thyroid nodules with multi-feature information.

The aim of this study is to propose a new diagnostic model based on "segmentation + classification" to improve the routine screening of Thyroid nodule ultrasonography by utilizing the key domain knowledge of medical diagnostic tasks. A Multi-scale segmentation network based on a pyramidal pooling structure of multi-parallel void spaces is proposed. First, in the segmentation network, the exact information of the underlying feature space is obtained by an Attention Gate.

A novel ultrasound image diagnostic method for thyroid nodules.

The incidence of thyroid nodules is increasing year by year. Accurate determination of benign and malignant nodules is an important basis for formulating treatment plans. Ultrasonography is the most widely used methodology in the diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules, but diagnosis by doctors is highly subjective, and the rates of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are high.

Intrathecal circHIPK3 shRNA alleviates neuropathic pain in diabetic rats.

Neuropathic pain is one of the most common diabetic complications and significantly decrease the quality of life. The aetiology of the painful diabetic neuropathic pain is not fully clear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified as miRNA sponges and involved in various biological processes, including pain.

miR-1297 Promotes Cell Proliferation of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells: Involving in PTEN/Akt/Skp2 Signaling Pathway.

Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) is a lipid and protein phosphatase and possesses an antitumor effect in lung cancers. miRNAs are reportedly abnormally expressed in human lung cancers. However, whether miRNA contributes to PTEN expression in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) has not been clearly clarified.
