BACKGROUND: Low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been a major limiting factor for the application of higher-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Most of the conventional denoising models suffer from the drawbacks of shallow feature extraction ...
Understanding sleep and its perturbation by environment, mutation, or medication remains a central problem in biomedical research. Its examination in animal models rests on brain state analysis via classification of electroencephalographic (EEG) sign...
BACKGROUND: Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) enables the 3D visualization of cellular organization in near-native state which plays important roles in the field of structural cell biology. However, due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), large ...
In the early 1950s, flow cytometry was developed as the first method for automated quantitative cellular analysis. In the early 1990s, the first equipment for image cytometry (laser scanning cytometry, LSC) became commercially available. As flow cyto...
High-throughput quantification of oligodendrocyte myelination is a challenge that, if addressed, would facilitate the development of therapeutics to promote myelin protection and repair. Here, we established a high-throughput method to assess oligode...
BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, characterized by cartilage degradation and inflammation. The proinflammatory cytokine, interleukin (IL)-1β, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of OA by inducing the release of oth...

Background Acrylonitrile (AN) is a neurotoxin that is widely used to manufacture synthetic fibres, plastics and beverage containers. Recently, we reported the ameliorative role of 6-gingerol-rich fraction from Zingiber officinale (Ginger, GRF) on the...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a machine learning model based on quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters to improve classification of steatohepatitis with shear wave elastography in rats by using histopathology scoring as the reference standard.

In vitro incubation of rat liver microsomes with 30 μL of 100 μmol·L dapoxetine and 30 μL of 10, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, or 5000 μg·mL Wuziyanzong pill was performed at 37 °C for 60 min. Dapoxetine concentration was analyzed by high performance li...
BACKGROUND: Oxygen/ozone therapy is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of radiculitis from lumbar disc herniation. This study aimed at investigating whether intrathecal administration of low-concentration oxygen/ozone could attenuate ch...
