AI Article Synopsis

  • Sagittal CT imaging of the lumbar spine indicates dural ectasia and the presence of a Tarlov cyst.
  • MRI scans reveal siderosis in the cerebellar sulci and abnormal iron deposits in the dental nuclei, predominantly on the left side.
  • Additional MRI images show multiple areas of superficial siderosis throughout the examined regions.

Article Abstract

Sagittal computed tomography of lumbal spine showing dural ectasia and Tarlow Cyst (red arrows) (A). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) axial slice, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) sequences showing siderosis in cerebellar sulci (red arrows) and in the inset uncharacteristic iron deposition in dental nuclei, more pronounced on the left side (red arrows) (B, inset). MRI, SWI, axial slice, showing numerous foci of superficial siderosis (C).

Introduction: Molecular alterations in the PI3K/AKT and Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathways are frequently observed in patients with endometrial cancers. However, mTOR inhibitors, such as temsirolimus, have modest clinical benefits. In addition to inducing metabolic changes in cells, metformin activates AMPK, which in turn inhibits the mTOR pathway.

Background: Specimen analysis is crucial for identifying imaging and neuropathological signatures. Histology is the gold‐standard, but sample preparation and sectioning induce tissue deformations which hinder quantitative analysis or registration of histology to 3D MRI providing a challenge to the development of MRI biomarkers. Overall, we aim to develop a workflow to correlate histology with high‐resolution MRI at a microscopic level (Figure 1), Here, we evaluate a critical step in this process ‐ the section quality from tissue mounting techniques, comparing: A) traditional water bath (Figure 1F), and B) tape transfer (Figure 1G), for the purpose of image segmentation and correlation with high‐resolution MRI.

The purpose of this study was to explore the inhibitory effect of andrographolide on the expression of key regulatory genes involved in the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE). Taking the film-producing strain Staphylococcus epidermidis SE1457 as the research object, the effect of andrographolide on the formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms was analyzed via crystal violet staining, and biofilm models of SE adhesion, aggregation and maturity were established in vitro. RT‒PCR was used to detect the effects of the expression of icaA-, atlE-, aap- and luxS-related genes of andrographolide on biofilm formation in SE.
