The consumption of seafood is crucial for food security, but poor hygiene along the food production chain can result in low microbiological quality, posing significant risks for public health and seafood quality. Thus, this study aimed to assess the microbiological quality and antimicrobial sensitivity of E. coli from 69 samples of illegally marketed shrimp and mussels in the Vitória Region, Brazil. These foods exhibited poor microbiological quality due to high counts of mesophilic, psychrotrophic, and enterobacteria microorganisms...

In this study, nanoparticles loaded with active components from Polygonum orientale L. (PO), a traditional Chinese herb known for its anti-myocardial ischemic properties, were investigated for cardio-protective properties. Specifically, OVQ-Nanoparticles (OVQ-NPs) with Orientin (Ori), Vitexin (Vit), and Quercetin (Que) was obtained by double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The OVQ-NPs exhibited a spherical shape, with a uniform size distribution of 136.77 ± 3.88 nm and a stable ζ-potential of -13...

BACKGROUND: High-altitude de-acclimatization (HADA) significantly impacts physiological functions when individuals acclimatize to high altitudes return to lower altitudes. This study investigates HADA's effects on renal function and structure in rats, focusing on oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress as potential mechanisms of renal injury. OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms of renal damage in HADA and evaluate the efficacy of antioxidants Vitamin C (Vit C) and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in mitigating these effects...

Nuclei detection and segmentation in hematoxylin and eosin-stained (H&E) tissue images are important clinical tasks and crucial for a wide range of applications. However, it is a challenging task due to nuclei variances in staining and size, overlapping boundaries, and nuclei clustering. While convolutional neural networks have been extensively used for this task, we explore the potential of Transformer-based networks in combination with large scale pre-training in this domain. Therefore, we introduce a new method for automated instance segmentation of cell nuclei in digitized tissue samples using a deep learning architecture based on Vision Transformer called CellViT...

Environmental factors and genetic variation individually impact bone. However, it is not clear how these factors interact to influence peak bone mass accrual. Here we tested whether genetically programmed high bone formation driven by missense mutations in the Lrp5 gene (Lrp5A214V) altered the sensitivity of mice to an environment of inadequate dietary calcium (Ca) intake. Weanling male Lrp5A214V mice and wildtype littermates (control) were fed AIN-93G diets with 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.5% (reference, basal), or 1% Ca from weaning until 12 wks of age (i...

Peripheral nerve injury is a critical condition that can disrupt nerve functions. Despite the progress in engineering artificial nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), nerve regeneration remains challenging. Here, we developed new nanofibrous NGCs using polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan (CH) containing piracetam (PIR)/vitamin B12(VITB12) with an electrospinning method. The lumen of NGCs was coated by hyaluronic acid (HA) to promote regeneration in sciatic nerve injury. The NGCs were characterized via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), tensile, swelling, contact angle, degradation, and drug release tests...

Lumbar vertebral body cancellous bone location and segmentation is crucial in an automated lumbar spine processing pipeline. Accurate and reliable analysis of lumbar spine image is expected to advantage practical medical diagnosis and population-based analysis of bone strength. However, the design of automated algorithms for lumbar spine processing is demanding due to significant anatomical variations and scarcity of publicly available data.

BACKGROUND: Current epidemiological evidence points to an association between micronutrient (MN) intake and sarcopenia, but studies have focused on single MN, and no combined effects on MNs have been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between different MN intake patterns and sarcopenia and skeletal muscle mass. METHODS: We performed a population-based cross-sectional study, with a total of 5,256 U.S. adults aged 20-59 years, and we collected total daily MN intake and appendicular skeletal muscle mass measured by Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA)...

Introduction Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women. Recent research indicates that human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) may be linked to carcinogenesis, but the data remain controversial. Methods HERVs´ expression was evaluated to show the differences between breast cancer and control samples, and their associations with clinicopathological parameters. Gene expression of 12 HERVs, i.e. ERVE-4, ERVW-1, ERVFRD-1, ERVV-1, ERV3-1, ERVH48-1, ERVMER34-1, ERVK7, ERVK13-1, ERVK11-1, ERVK3-1 and HCP5 was analyzed by qPCR and/or TCGA datasets for breast cancer...

Dysmenorrhea, affecting approximately 80% of adolescents, significantly impairs quality of life, disrupts sleep patterns, and induces mood changes. Furthermore, its economic impact is substantial, accounting for an estimated $200 billion in the United States and $4.2 million in Japan annually. This review aimed to identify the effects of vitamin D and calcium on primary dysmenorrhea. We conducted a comprehensive literature search across Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct, focusing on studies published from 2010 to 2020...

This work studies the problem of image semantic segmentation. Current approaches focus mainly on mining "local" context, i.e., dependencies between pixels within individual images, by specifically-designed, context aggregation modules (e.g., dilated convolution, neural attention) or structure-aware optimization objectives (e.g., IoU-like loss). However, they ignore "global" context of the training data, i.e., rich semantic relations between pixels across different images. Inspired by recent advance in unsupervised contrastive representation learning, we propose a pixel-wise contrastive algorithm, dubbed as PiCo, for semantic segmentation in the fully supervised learning setting...

Image deblurring continues to achieve impressive performance with the development of generative models. Nonetheless, there still remains a displeasing problem if one wants to improve perceptual quality and quantitative scores of recovered image at the same time. In this study, drawing inspiration from the research of transformer properties, we introduce the pretrained transformers to address this problem. In particular, we leverage deep features extracted from a pretrained vision transformer (ViT) to encourage recovered images to be sharp without sacrificing the performance measured by the quantitative metrics...
