[Corrigendum] Downregulation of Notch1 induces apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and metastasis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Following the publication of this article, a concerned reader drew to the authors' attention that a pair of the 24 h scratch‑wound assay data panels in Fig. 4A, and three of the migration and invasion assay data panels in Fig. 4B, exhibited overlapping sections, suggesting that data which were intended to have shown the results from differently performed experiments had originated from the same sources.

The characteristics and evolution of pulmonary fibrosis in COVID-19 patients as assessed by AI-assisted chest HRCT.

The characteristics and evolution of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not been adequately studied. AI-assisted chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was used to investigate the proportion of COVID-19 patients with pulmonary fibrosis, the relationship between the degree of fibrosis and the clinical classification of COVID-19, the characteristics of and risk factors for pulmonary fibrosis, and the evolution of pulmonary fibrosis after discharge. The incidence of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with severe or critical COVID-19 was significantly higher than that in patients with moderate COVID-19.

[Sensitive Bands Extraction and Prediction Model of Tomato Chlorophyll in Glass Greenhouse].

In order to predict the content of chlorophyll in tomato rapidly and accurately, this study, with spectrum technology, focused on the extraction of sensitive spectral bands of tomato chlorophyll in glass greenhouse environment and created an effective estimation model. During the period of cultivating tomatoes, leaf spectra were measured with an ASD FieldSpec HH spectrophotometer and chlorophyll content was measured with Type 752 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Based on the original spectra, absorbance spectra, first derivative spectra and continuum removal spectra, spectral data was preprocessed, in which the effectiveness of spectral features of chlorophyll content of tomato was highlighted and spectral response characteristics of the absorbance spectra in the visible part was enhanced.

Notch 2 signaling contributes to cell growth, anti-apoptosis and metastasis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Notch signaling is important during the development of a variety of human tumors. Depending on the context, Notch signaling can be either oncogenic or anti‑proliferative, and therefore, its effects in cancer are unpredictable. The aim of the present study was to identify the importance of Notch 2 in the cell growth and metastasis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).

Downregulation of Notch1 induces apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and metastasis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

Notch signaling plays a key role in a wide variety of human tumors; it can be an oncogene or a tumor-suppressor gene depending on the tissue context. The functions of Notch1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) are largely unknown. We investigated the role of Notch1 in LSCC cell growth, apoptosis and metastasis.

[Prediction of chlorophyll content of greenhouse tomato using wavelet transform combined with NIR spectra].

In quantitative analysis of spectral data, noises and background interference always degrade the accuracy of spectral feature extraction. The wavelet transform is multi-scale decomposition used to reduce the noise and improve the analysis precision. On the other hand, the wavelet transform denoising is often followed by destroying the efficiency information.
