Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has shown good applications in engineering fields such as well logging and rubber material ageing assessment. However, due to the low magnetic field strength of NMR sensors and the complex working conditions of engineering sites, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of NMR signals is low, and it is usually necessary to increase the number of repeated measurements to improve the SNR, which means a longer measurement time. Therefore, it is especially important to set the measurement parameters appropriately for onsite NMR. In this paper, we propose a stochastic simulation using Monte Carlo methods to predict the measurement curves of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and correct the measurement parameters of the next step according to the previous measurement results. The method can update the measurement parameters in real time and perform automatic measurements. At the same time, this method greatly reduces the measurement time. The experimental results show that the method is suitable for the measurement of the self-diffusion coefficient D and longitudinal relaxation time T, which are frequently used in NMR measurements.

Ledged Beam Walking Test Automatic Tracker: Artificial intelligence-based functional evaluation in a stroke model.

Comput Biol Med

January 2025

Electronic address:

The quantitative evaluation of motor function in experimental stroke models is essential for the preclinical assessment of new therapeutic strategies that can be transferred to clinical research; however, conventional assessment tests are hampered by the evaluator's subjectivity. We present an artificial intelligence-based system for the automatic, accurate, and objective analysis of target parameters evaluated by the ledged beam walking test, which offers higher sensitivity than the current methodology based on manual and visual counting. This system employs a residual deep network model, trained with DeepLabCut (DLC) to extract target paretic hindlimb coordinates, which are categorized to provide a ratio measurement of the animal's neurological deficit.

Quantitative Evaluation of Multiple Treatment Regimens for Treatment-Resistant Depression.

Int J Neuropsychopharmacol

January 2025

Center for Drug Clinical Research, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, No.1200 Cailun Road, Shanghai 201203, China.

Objective: This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the efficacy and safety of various treatment regimens for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) across oral, intravenous, and intranasal routes to inform clinical guidelines.

Methods: A systematic review identified randomized controlled trials on TRD, with efficacy measured by changes in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). We developed pharmacodynamic and covariate models for different administration routes, using Monte Carlo simulations to estimate efficacy distribution.

The immunogenicity of rabies vaccines is commonly measured by serological testing, which includes measuring rabies virus-neutralising antibody titre levels in the serum. Apart from humoral immunity, cellular immunity measurements are also helpful in assessing the immunogenicity and efficacy of rabies vaccinations. Recently, there has been an increased emphasis on cellular immunity measurements against rabies in humans and animals.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) progressively leads to loss of limb function due to muscle weakness. The incurable nature of the disease shifts the focus to improving quality of life, including assistive supports to improve arm function. Over time, the passive joint impedance (Jimp) of people with DMD increases.
