Low Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index has been identified as an index of impaired nutritional state. The objective of the meta-analysis was to assess the association of the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) with adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Relevant studies were identified by comprehensively searching PubMed and Embase databases in May 2021.

The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the prognostic utility of homocysteine among patients with AIS in terms of recurrent stroke, poor functional outcome or all-cause mortality.
Methods: Two independent authors searched the articles published in PubMed and Embase databases prior to March 31, 2020.
Objective: Sex-specific impact of frailty on all-cause mortality in older age population remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association between frailty and all-cause mortality in older age women vs men from the general population.
Design: Meta-analysis.
Effects of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients remain conflicting. We performed this meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to evaluate the benefits of the RIC in patients with AMI. Potentially relevant RCTs were identified by searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, VIP, CNKI, and Wanfang database until November 2016.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: Emerging evidence connects serum uric acid (SUA) levels to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the association between SUA levels and risk of NAFLD by conducting a meta-analysis of available observational studies.
Design And Methods: We searched for relevant studies in PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases until October 2014.
Background: Studies on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and stroke risk have yielded conflicting results.
Objective: To determine whether elevated baseline hs-CRP presents an independent risk for different kinds of strokes by conducting a meta-analysis.
Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases were systematically searched for prospective observational studies published until January 2015.
Aim: Endothelial dysfunction was observed in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the extent of endothelial function impairment in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Methods: We systematically searched through the PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases for studies dated up to January 2015.
A deep learning based framework for accurate segmentation of cervical cytoplasm and nuclei.
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
November 2015
In this paper, a superpixel and convolution neural network (CNN) based segmentation method is proposed for cervical cancer cell segmentation. Since the background and cytoplasm contrast is not relatively obvious, cytoplasm segmentation is first performed. Deep learning based on CNN is explored for region of interest detection.

May 2011
Objective: To study the effects of MTA1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the anchorage-independent growth and anoikis of prostate cancer cell line PC-3.
Methods: After transfection of human prostate cancer PC-3 cells by MTA1 siRNA, we detected the expression of the MTA1 gene by real-time PCR and Western blot, the anchorage-independent growth of the cells by clone formation in soft agar, and their anoikis by DNA fragmentation assay and flow cytometry.
Results: Compared with the control group, MTA1 siRNA transfection significantly decreased the mRNA and protein levels of MTA1, inhibited the anchorage-independent growth of the PC-3 cells, and induced their anoikis, all in a dose- and time-dependent manner (r = 0.
