A novel microchip electrophoresis-based chemiluminescence immunoassay for the detection of alpha-fetoprotein in human serum.

Talanta
A sensitive immunoassay method based on microchip electrophoresis chemiluminescence (MCE-CL) detection technology was developed for the detection of tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). This method adopts the non-competitive immunoassay mode, and wa...

Characterization and hepatoprotective activity of anthocyanins from purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. cultivar Eshu No. 8).

Journal of food and drug analysis
The hepatoprotective activity of anthocyanin-rich purple sweet potato extract (APSPE) was demonstrated. Sixty mice were randomly divided into six groups: control group [without carbon tetrachloride (CCl) or APSPE]; model group (with CCl only); positi...

A methodology for automated CPA extraction using liver biopsy image analysis and machine learning techniques.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Collagen proportional area (CPA) extraction in liver biopsy images provides the degree of fibrosis expansion in liver tissue, which is the most characteristic histological alteration in hepatitis C virus (HCV). Assessment of...

Automatic abdominal multi-organ segmentation using deep convolutional neural network and time-implicit level sets.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Multi-organ segmentation from CT images is an essential step for computer-aided diagnosis and surgery planning. However, manual delineation of the organs by radiologists is tedious, time-consuming and poorly reproducible. Therefore, we propo...

Integration of metabolomics, lipidomics and clinical data using a machine learning method.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The recent pandemic of obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) has led to the realisation that new drug targets are needed to either reduce obesity or the subsequent pathophysiological consequences associated with excess weight gain. Ce...

Adaptive Estimation of Active Contour Parameters Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Texture Analysis.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
In this paper, we propose a generalization of the level set segmentation approach by supplying a novel method for adaptive estimation of active contour parameters. The presented segmentation method is fully automatic once the lesion has been detected...

Computerized tomography-based anatomic description of the porcine liver.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The knowledge of the anatomic features is imperative for successful modeling of the different surgical situations. This study aims to describe the anatomic features of the porcine using computerized tomography (CT) scan.

IFCM Based Segmentation Method for Liver Ultrasound Images.

Journal of medical systems
In this paper we have proposed an iterative Fuzzy C-Mean (IFCM) method which divides the pixels present in the image into a set of clusters. This set of clusters is then used to segment a focal liver lesion from a liver ultrasound image. Advantage of...

Automatic 3D liver location and segmentation via convolutional neural network and graph cut.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Segmentation of the liver from abdominal computed tomography (CT) images is an essential step in some computer-assisted clinical interventions, such as surgery planning for living donor liver transplant, radiotherapy and volume measurement. ...
