Purpose: To examine the effects of indocyanine green (ICG) with and without mitomycin C (MMC) on proliferation of cultured human Tenon fibroblasts.
Method: Fibroblast monolayers were exposed to either MMC [0.4 mg/mL in phosphate buffered saline (PBS)] or PBS containing ICG (0.0625%, 0.125%, 0.25%, and 0.5% in 200 microL PBS) or a combination of MMC (0.4 mg/mL in PBS) and ICG (0.25% and 0.5%) for 5 minutes. Controls were exposed for 5 minutes to MMC, PBS, or culture medium containing no ICG. After treatment, the monolayers were washed and incubated in culture medium for 24, 48, 72 hours, and 1 week periods after which the number of viable cells was quantified.
Results: The presence of ICG alone, at concentrations ranging from 0.0625% to 0.5%, had no effect on the rate of fibroblast proliferation measured at any of the incubation periods. As expected, MMC treatment resulted in a significant reduction in viable fibroblast number (8.4+/-0.13x10(3)). ICG in combination with MMC did not significantly alter fibroblast numbers (8.5+/-0.05x10(3)) up to 1 week compared with MMC alone (8.4+/-0.12x10(3)).
Conclusions: ICG at concentrations of 0.5% and below do not reduce proliferation of Tenon capsule fibroblasts. ICG did not potentiate or diminish the effect of MMC on Tenon capsule fibroblast proliferation.

Deciphering how noncoding DNA determines gene expression is critical for decoding the functional genome. Understanding the transcription effects of noncoding genetic variants are still major unsolved problems, which is critical for downstream applications in human genetics and precision medicine. Here, we integrate regulatory-specific neural networks and tissue-specific gradient-boosting trees to build SVEN: a hybrid sequence-oriented architecture that can accurately predict tissue-specific gene expression level and quantify the tissue-specific transcriptomic impacts of structural variants across more than 350 tissues and cell lines.

Purpose: During breast cancer surgery, the use of dyes such as indigo carmine, methylene blue, or indocyanine green (ICG) for targeting axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) under ultrasound guidance can result in rapid diffusion, complicated tissue differentiation, and disruption of staining. LuminoMark™, a novel ICG-hyaluronic acid mixture, can provide real-time visualization and minimize dye spread, thereby ensuring a clear surgical field. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of LuminoMark™ for targeting ALNs in patients with breast cancer.

Background: Near-infrared fluorescence imaging using intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) has a wide range of applications in multiple surgical scenarios. In laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), it facilitates intraoperative identification of the biliary system and reduces the risk of bile duct injury. However, the usual single color fluorescence imaging (SCFI) has limitations in manifesting the fluorescence signal of the target structure when its intensity is relatively low.

Objectives: The shape is commonly used to describe the objects. State-of-the-art algorithms in medical imaging are predominantly diverging from computer vision, where voxel grids, meshes, point clouds, and implicit surface models are used. This is seen from the growing popularity of ShapeNet (51,300 models) and Princeton ModelNet (127,915 models).

Background: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) using radioisotope tracer plus blue dye is the gold standard after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in initially cN1 breast cancer patients, but clinical use still has limitations. This study aims to examine diagnostic performance of dual indocyanine green (ICG) and methylene blue tracing for SLNB in patients who have completed NAC for breast cancer with initially cN1 disease.
Methods: Adult women (20-80 years of age) scheduled to undergo NAC for biopsy-proven cT0-3N1M0 primary invasive breast cancer were consecutively enrolled in this prospective, multicenter, cohort study.
