In this letter, a novel global approach to range alignment for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image formation is presented. The algorithm based on the minimization of entropy average profile (ARP), and processing chain capable exploiting efficiency fast Fourier transform. With respect existing methods, new one requires no exhaustive search operation eliminates necessity parametric model relative offset among profiles. derivation indicates that presented methodology essentially an...

The thalamus plays a pivotal role number of pain conditions, including migraine. However, the significance altered thalamo-visual (FC) remains unknown. goal this study was to explore FC integrity patients with MwoA and investigate its clinical significance.Resting-state fMRI data were acquired from 33 22 well-matched healthy controls. After...

Abstract Background Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (Rs-fMRI) has confirmed sensorimotor network (SMN) dysfunction in migraine without aura (MwoA). However, the underlying mechanisms of SMN effective connectivity MwoA remain unclear. We aimed to explore association between clinical characteristics and SMN, interictal patients who have MwoA. Methods used Rs-fMRI acquire data 40 episodic with phase 34 healthy controls (HCs). Independent component analysis was profile...

Carbon dots (CDs) are a new class of nanomaterials exhibiting high biocompatibility, water solubility, functionality, and tunable fluorescence (FL) property. Due to the limitations batch hydrothermal synthesis in terms low CDs yield long duration, this work aimed increase its production capacity through continuous flow reactor system. The influence temperature time was first studied for glucose, xylose, sucrose table sugar precursors. synthesized from precursor exhibited highest quantum (QY)...

To generate a single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) map and construct cell-cell communication networks of mouse corneas.C57BL/6 corneas were dissociated to single cells subjected scRNA-seq. Cell populations clustered annotated for bioinformatic analysis using the R package "Seurat." Differential expression patterns validated spatially mapped with whole-mount immunofluorescence staining. Global intercellular signaling constructed CellChat.Unbiased clustering scRNA-seq transcriptomes 14,732...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are considered first-line medications for acute migraine attacks. However, the response exhibits considerable variability among individuals. Thus, this study aimed to explore a machine learning model based on percentage of amplitude oscillations (PerAF) and gray matter volume (GMV) predict NSAIDs in treatment.

<i>Background:</i> To investigate the clinical efficacy of tonsillectomy on long-term remission and renal survival immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) patients in China. <i>Methods:</i> We performed a 130-month retrospective case-control study 112 with idiopathic biopsy-diagnosed IgAN from 1983 to 1999. Fifty-four underwent 58 did not. The rate during follow-up variables predict were estimated by χ<sup>2</sup> test multivariate Cox regression analysis; was...

The present study combined fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and functional connectivity (FC) to explore brain abnormalities in acute tinnitus patients (AT) with hearing loss. We recruited twenty-eight AT 31 healthy controls (HCs) ran resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans. fALFF, ReHo, FC were conducted compared between HCs. After that, we calculated correlation analyses among abnormal FC, clinical data patients. Compared...

Abstract Background Migraine is a common neurological disease that often accompanied by psychiatric comorbidities. However, the relationship between abnormal brain function and comorbidities in migraine patients remains largely unclear. Therefore, present study sought to explore correlations resting-state functional deficits without aura (MwoA) patients. Methods Resting-state magnetic resonance images were obtained. In addition, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) regional...

Regarding the convergence of worldwide epidemic, appearance bacterial infection has occasioned in a melodramatic upsurge pathogens with confrontation against one or numerous antibiotics. The implementation engineered nanostructured particles as delivery vehicle for antimicrobial agent is promising approach that could theoretically battle setbacks mentioned. Among all nanoparticles, silica nanoparticles have been found to provide functional features are advantageous combatting contagion....

Ship classification based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is a crucial component in maritime surveillance. In this article, the feature selection and classifier design, as two key essential factors for traditional ship classification, are jointed together, novel model combining kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) dragonfly algorithm binary space (BDA), named BDA-KELM, proposed which conducts automatic searches optimal parameter sets (including penalty factor) at same time....

Objective We evaluated the role of a quality improvement initiative in improving clinical outcomes peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods In retrospective analysis 6 years data from hospital registry, period between 1 July 2005 and 30 June 2008 (control group) provided baseline before implementation systemic monitoring, 2011 [continuous (CQI) group] represented time when CQI program was place. Peritonitis incidence, patient technique survival, cardiovascular status, causes death, drop-out were...

Previous study confirmed that both TaohongSiwu decoction (THSWD) and Dubosiella newyorkensis improved hypertension-induced endothelial dysfunction. However, the mechanism of THSWD combined with remains unclear.e: We aimed to investigate microecological underlying for prevention hypertensive vascular dysfunction.Eight percent high-salt diet was applied induce hypertension in a mouse model 4 weeks. THSWD, were used intervene mice observe changes systolic blood pressure (SBP), body weight,...

To investigate the clinicopathological features and outcome of idiopathic IgA nephropathy with diffuse crescent formation in Chinese patients.Twenty-five patients crescentic (DCIgAN), 15 males 10 females median age 28.5, disease duration 5.1 months, were studied. Their clinical, laboratory pathological investigated. Twenty-one administered pulse immunosuppressive therapy, followed up for more than 6 months.1.14% had total nephropathy, 16.4% glomerulonephritis. Clinically, most (88%) showed...

SUMMARY: Objective: To compare the effects, relapse ratio and outcomes between mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) pulse intravenous cyclophosphamide (CTX) for induction therapy in patients with crescentic lupus nephritis. Methodology: This is a retrospective, controlled study. Twenty‐seven MMF therapeutic twenty‐five CTX ≥50% crescent formation were enrolled this The general conditions, clinicopathological findings, remission ratio, of them compared.
