Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with renal impairs. As a novel pathophysiological hallmark of OSA, chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) enhances apoptosis and autophagy. The present study aims to evaluate the effect telmisartan on CIH-induced kidney autophagy in mouse model OSA.Mice were randomly allocated normoxia, CIH, CIH+telmisartan groups (n = 12 each group). CIH exposure duration was weeks. Mice group received administration. terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cancer incidence and mortality. The underlying mechanism unclear. This study aims to evaluate the influence of intermittent hypoxia (IH), a novel hallmark OSA, on tumor access anti-tumor effect endostatin mouse model OSA.The C57BL/6 J mice were randomly classified into four groups: control (normoxia) (CTL), plus (CTL + ED), IH, IH (IH ED). Mice in ED groups subjected 8 h per day 5 weeks. Lewis lung cells injected flank each after 1 week...
Endoscopic vision plays a significant role in minimally invasive surgical procedures. The visibility and maintenance of such direct situ is paramount not only for safety by preventing inadvertent injury but also to improve precision reduce operating time. Unfortunately, the endoscopic unavoidably degraded due illumination variations during surgery. This paper aims restore or augment visualization quantitatively evaluate it robotic A multiscale bilateral-weighted retinex method proposed...
Objective . While D-dimer can successfully diagnose venous thrombosis due to its excellent negative predictive value (NPV), it cannot be used detect thromboembolism (VTE) because of low positive (PPV). This study aims investigate if a combination using and fibrinogen improve PPV in the VTE diagnosis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed various data including D-dimer, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, ultrasound, others collected from 10775 traumatic fracture patients categorized them into two...
Ocular surface disorder is one of common and prevalence eye diseases complex to be recognized accurately. This work presents automatic classification ocular disorders in accordance with densely connected convolutional networks smartphone imaging. We use various cameras collect clinical images that contain normal abnormal, modify end-to-end a hybrid unit learn more diverse features, significantly reducing the network depth, total number parameters float calculation. The validation results...
Objective: Intermittent hypoxia, a significant feature of obstructive sleep apnea, has pro-tumorigenic effects. Here, we investigated the effect sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate on oxidative stress and apoptosis in mouse model Lewis lung carcinoma with intermittent hypoxia. Methods: Mice were randomly assigned to normoxia (control), plus (control + sulfonate), hypoxia groups. administration lasted 5 weeks cells injected into right flank each after 1 week exposure. Sodium was intraperitoneally...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cancer mortality, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are confirmed to be involved in tumorigenesis and tumor progression. However, whether miRNAs have any differential expressions OSA population needs elucidated. The aim of this experimental study was determine alterations various xenograft mice exposed chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH) which considered a hallmark OSA.Sequencing applied screen...
Monocular endoscopic depth estimation is essential for surgical navigation. Current deeply learned methods still suffer from lack of real data labels and porous, artifacts (e.g., bubbles), illumination variations specular highlight), weak texture in video images. This paper proposes a new deep learning framework cascade hole-aware transformers with geometric spatial consistency accurate without using any image annotation. Specifically, this employs encoders to powerfully extract structural...
<title>Abstract</title> It is generally difficult to establish convolutional neural networks with many operations on mobile devices due their limited memory and computation resources. This paper proposes a novel Gather module that combines depthwise separable convolution standard Ghost generate feature maps cheaply efficiently uses channel shuffle rearrange these learned improve the information flow between different channels. Based module, we construct network architecture called GatherNet...
Stochastic filtering is widely used to deal with nonlinear optimization problems such as 3-D and visual tracking in various computer vision augmented reality applications. Many current methods suffer from an imbalance between exploration exploitation due their particle degeneracy impoverishment, resulting local optimums. To address this imbalance, work proposes a new constrained evolutionary diffusion filter for optimization. Specifically, develops spatial state constraints adaptive...
