ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Various parts of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch (peach) exhibit medicinal properties and are utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for therapeutic purposes. Notably, the root of P. persica, referred to as "taoshug...
: Accurate biomechanical modeling is crucial for enhancing the realism of virtual surgical training. This study addressed the computational cost and complexity associated with traditional viscoelastic models by incorporating neural network algorithms...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Longitudinal in vivo studies of murine xenograft models are widely utilized in oncology to study cancer biology and develop therapies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of these tumors is an invaluable tool for monitoring tumor g...
The kidney plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis, but lifestyle factors and diseases can lead to kidney failures. Early detection of kidney disease is crucial for effective intervention, often challenging due to unnoticeable symptoms in the i...
BACKGROUND: Within the past two decades, high-profile cases of melamine (MA) exposure have raised significant toxicological concerns, particularly regarding food adulteration. While widely used as a fundamental organic chemical intermediate in variou...
BACKGROUND: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is closely associated with numerous severe postoperative complications, including acute rejection, delayed graft function (DGF) and graft failure. Macrophages are central to modulating the aseptic inflamm...
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the most common glomerular diseases. Although the diagnostic method based on serum PLA2R antibodies has gradually been applied in clinical practice, only 52-86% of PLA2R-associated MN patients show positive anti-...
OBJECTIVE: Kidney fibrosis is a key pathological feature in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), traditionally diagnosed through invasive kidney biopsy. This study aimed to develop and validate a noninvasive, multi-center predictive model...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The objective of this review is to provide an update on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for the histological interpretation of kidney transplant biopsies.
The joint use of multiple modalities for medical image processing has been widely studied in recent years. The fusion of information from different modalities has demonstrated the performance improvement for a lot of medical tasks. For nephropathy di...
