Ultrasonography (US) is widely used for the diagnosis of liver tumors. However, accuracy largely depends on visual perception humans. Hence, we aimed to construct artificial intelligence (AI) models tumors in US.We constructed three AI based still B-mode images: model-1 using 24,675 images, model-2 57,145 and model-3 70,950 images. A convolutional neural network was train US The four-class tumor discrimination by AI, namely, cysts, hemangiomas, hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic tumors,...
We developed new nonradioactive microspheres and used more sensitive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers than previously to measure regional blood flow in the heart other organs. demonstrated chemical stability of eight kinds heavy element-loaded validated their use for measurement by comparing duplicate flows measured with radioactive and/or both acute chronic dog experiments. The wavelength-dispersive spectrometer (Philips PW 1480) has a higher sensitivity described fluorescent system reduced...
To examine the reliability of quantitative positron emission tomography studies in rat (Rat–PET), we assessed influence radioactivity accumulated Harderian glands on PET CMR glc determination. We measured by and ex vivo dissection methods using 2-[ 18 F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose rats with without focal brain ischemia. The values obtained PET, after correcting recovery coefficients, were higher than those method at rostral slices, reduction ischemic was not demonstrated frontal cortex....
Background: Neutrophil elastase plays an important role in ischemia–reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that the addition of sivelestat, a specific neutrophil inhibitor, to organ flushing solution would decrease reperfusion injury rat single left-lung transplant model. Methods: All donor lungs were flushed with 25 ml low-potassium dextran–glucose and stored for 16 h at 4 °C. Rats divided into three experimental groups (n = 10) received washed either normal (group 1), or containing 20 mg...
Because coining dies are consumables, most of mints have adopted the hard surface coating on in order to increase wear resistance them. Even though for "proof coins" coated by Cr-plating, they especially short life time. Instead we tried apply Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) film proof coins. In examine effect DLC films, coins were actually produced with dies. consequence, die using is estimated be more than twice as long that Cr-plating.
Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC) is a rare subtype of carcinoma. The IMbrave150 trial demonstrated that atezolizumab and bevacizumab therapy (ABT) has better treatment outcomes than sorafenib for advanced HCC. However, since patients with known FLHCC were excluded from this trial, the effects ABT on remain unknown. We report first case followed by hepatectomy presenting pseudoprogression lymph node (LN) metastases which was pathologically proven after surgery. patient...
Experimental studies have demonstrated that adrenomedullin (AM) has a positive inotropic action and exerts inhibitory effects against ventricular remodelling as an autocrine paracrine factor. However, there is no clinical evidence for AM acting local regulator in the human heart. We measured levels of various molecular forms AM, i.e. active form mature (AM-m), intermediate inactive glycine-extended (AM-Gly) total (AM-T = AM-m+AM-Gly), plasma pericardial fluid using our newly developed...
