Objectives: Pulp stones are ectopic calcifications located in pulp tissue. The aim of this study is to introduce a novel method for detecting pulp stones on panoramic radiography images using a deep learning-based two-stage pipeline architecture.

Materials And Methods: The first stage involved tooth localization with the YOLOv8 model, followed by pulp stone classification using ResNeXt.

Up-to-Date Imaging for Parathyroid Tumor Localization in MEN1 Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism: When and Which Ones (A Narrative Pictorial Review).

Diagnostics (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Institut de Cancérologie de Strasbourg Europe (ICANS), University Hospitals of Strasbourg, University of Strasbourg, 67200 Strasbourg, France.

Patients diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1 (MEN1) often initially present with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), and typically undergo surgical intervention. While laboratory tests are fundamental for diagnosis, imaging is crucial for localizing pathological parathyroids to aid in precise surgical planning. In this pictorial review, we will begin by comprehensively examining key imaging techniques and their established protocols, evaluating their effectiveness in detecting abnormal parathyroid glands.

Ultrasound-Triggered Oxygen Release System for Accelerating Wound Healing of Diabetic Foot Ulcers.

Adv Healthc Mater

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, 325035, China.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common complication of chronic diabetes mellitus. Oxygen plays a critical role in the healing process of DFU wounds by promoting cell migration and neovascularization. However, clinical hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy predominantly uses systemic oxygen administration, posing challenges in inadequate DFU local oxygen penetration and potential ectopic organs oxygen toxicity.

Ectopic expression of DNMT3L in human trophoblast stem cells restores features of the placental methylome.

Cell Stem Cell

December 2024

Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK; Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. Electronic address:

The placental DNA methylation landscape is unique, with widespread partially methylated domains (PMDs). The placental "methylome" is conserved across mammals, a shared feature of many cancers, and extensively studied for links with pregnancy complications. Human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs) offer exciting potential for functional studies to better understand this epigenetic feature; however, whether the hTSC epigenome recapitulates primary trophoblast remains unclear.
