Bridged triphenylamine-based fluorescent probe for selective and direct detection of HSA in urine.

Human serum albumin (HSA) serves as a crucial indicator for therapeutic monitoring and biomedical diagnosis. In this study, a near infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe, termed BTPA, characterized a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structure based on bridged triphenylamine (TPA) was developed. BTPA exhibited outstanding sensitivity and selectivity towards HSA among various analysts, with a remarkable 50-fold fluorescence enhancement with a significant Stokes shift (∼190 nm) and a wide linear detection range of 0-20 μM of HSA.

Multispectral Image Super-Resolution via RGB Image Fusion and Radiometric Calibration.

Multispectral imaging is of wide application for its capability in acquiring the spectral information of scenes. Due to hardware limitation, multispectral imaging device usually cannot achieve high-spatial resolution. To address the issue, this paper proposes a multispectral image super-resolution algorithm, referred as SRIF, by fusing the low-resolution multispectral image and the high-resolution (HR) RGB image.

Bidirectional texture function image super-resolution using singular value decomposition.

The bidirectional texture function (BTF) is widely employed to achieve realistic digital reproduction of real-world material appearance. In practice, a BTF measurement device usually does not use high-resolution (HR) cameras in data collection, considering the high equipment cost and huge data space required. The limited image resolution consequently leads to the loss of texture details in BTF data.

Fast Multispectral Imaging by Spatial Pixel-Binning and Spectral Unmixing.

Multispectral imaging system is of wide application in relevant fields for its capability in acquiring spectral information of scenes. Its limitation is that, due to the large number of spectral channels, the imaging process can be quite time-consuming when capturing high-resolution (HR) multispectral images. To resolve this limitation, this paper proposes a fast multispectral imaging framework based on the image sensor pixel-binning and spectral unmixing techniques.

[Spectrum of gene deletion in 471 children with α-thalassemia].

Objective: To study the distribution of common α-thalassemia gene deletion in children.

Methods: Blood cell analysis was performed on children who visited the clinic of the Foshan Women and Children's Hospital. Blood samples (2 mL, EDTA anticoagulant) was collected from children with MCV<82 fl for analysis of α-thalassemia gene using the GAP-PCR method.

[Early warning on measles through the neural networks].

To discuss the effects on early warning of measles, using the neural networks. Based on the available data through monthly and weekly reports on measles from January 1986 to August 2006 in Wuhan city. The modal was developed using the neural networks to predict and analyze the prevalence and incidence of measles.

[Multicenter controlled study on transient asthma-stopping action of acupuncture at "Qingchuan point"].

Objective: To test and verify the transient therapeutic effect of acupuncture at point "Qingchuan" on bronchial asthma.

Methods: Two hundred cases of bronchial asthma at acute attack stage were divided into a trial group of 100 cases treated with acupuncture at point "Qingchuan" and a control group of 100 cases treated with acupuncture at Dingchuan (EX-B1).

Results: The total effective rate was 92.

Effect of mixing time on taxoid production using suspension cultures of Taxus chinensis in a centrifugal impeller bioreactor.

The effects of fluid mixing on the cell growth and secondary metabolite production of plant cells were investigated in a low-shear centrifugal impeller bioreactor (CIB) system. Suspension cultures of Taxus chinensis cells producing taxuyunnanine C (Tc), a physiologically active secondary metabolite, were used as a model system for this investigation. The mixing time (t(m)) and volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (k(L)a) in the bioreactor were characterized at various cell densities and operating conditions.
