Both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are inevitably produced during normal human metabolism. Various ROS and RNS together form tangled networks that play important roles in many physiological and pathological processes. Here we used 1,8-naphthalene diamine as a reactive group to develop a fluorescent probe, N-[2-(6-phenylethynyl)quinolinylmethyl]-1,8-diamino naphthalene (QBN), for HOCl and NO. QBN showed a "turn-on" fluorescent response at 464 nm to HOCl in the range of 0-75 μM with rapid responding time (10 s) and detection limit (0.11 ± 0.03 μM). Furthermore, a "turn-on" fluorescent responses at 512 nm to NO in the range of 0-40 μM with responding time (20 s) and detection limit (25.7 ± 3.4 nM) was found. The response mechanisms of QBN to HOCl and NO were discussed based on mass analysis of the different products. The dual-channel probe was then successfully applied for simultaneous imaging of both exogenous and endogenous HOCl and NO in live cells.

Levels of tissue oxygenation and collagen regeneration are critical indicators in the early evaluation of wound healing. Traditionally, these factors have been assessed using separate instruments and different methodologies. Here, we adopt the spatially averaged phosphorescence lifetime approach using Re-diimine complexes (Re-probe) to enable simultaneous quantification of these two critical factors in healing wounds.

Background And Aim: In this study, a transfer learning (TL) algorithm was used to predict postoperative recurrence of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) and to evaluate its value in a small-sample clinical study.

Methods: A total of 431 cases of AGC from three centers were included in this retrospective study. First, TL signatures (TLSs) were constructed based on different source domains, including whole slide images (TLS-WSIs) and natural images (TLS-ImageNet).

Background: Dialysis Access (DA) stenosis impacts hemodialysis efficiency and patient health, necessitating exams for early lesion detection. Ultrasound is widely used due to its non-invasive, cost-effective nature. Assessing all patients in large hemodialysis facilities strains resources and relies on operator expertise.

Background: Imaging both electrical and mechanical cardiac function can better characterize cardiac disease and improve patient care. Currently, there is no noninvasive technique that can simultaneously image both electrical and mechanical function of the whole heart at the point of care. Here, our aim is to demonstrate that high volume-rate echocardiography can simultaneously map cardiac electromechanical activation and end-systolic cardiac strain of the whole heart in a single heartbeat.

In unsupervised transfer learning for medical image segmentation, where existing algorithms face the challenge of error propagation due to inaccessible source domain data. In response to this scenario, source-free domain transfer algorithm with reduced style sensitivity (SFDT-RSS) is designed. SFDT-RSS initially pre-trains the source domain model by using the generalization strategy and subsequently adapts the pre-trained model to target domain without accessing source data.
