Abstract Cell transplantation via direct intramyocardial injection is a promising therapy for patients with myocardial infarction; however, retention of the transplanted cells at sites remains central issue following dissociated cells. Using thermoresponsive hydrogel system multiwell structure, we successfully developed an efficient technique to generate spherically symmetric bodies mesenchymal stromal (MSCs) inherent endogenous extracellular matrices (ECMs) injection. After through needle...
Background: Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is a common procedure performed on comorbid patient population at risk for complications, necessitating effective preoperative assessment. Previous research suggests that frailty better predicts adverse outcomes compared with historical proxies including age. We examined the association between as measured by 5-factor modified index and postoperative complications following VHR reported in National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database....
Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) derived from second-trimester amniocentesis were evaluated for the therapeutic potential of cardiac repair. Whether hAFSCs can be differentiated into cardiomyogenic and toward maturation endothelial cell lineage was investigated in vitro using mimicking differentiation milieu. Employing an immune-suppressed rat model with experimental myocardial infarction, intramyocardial injection conducted a needle directly peri-infarct areas. There three treatment...
AimsTo provide the basis for uniform cardiac tissue regeneration, a spatially distribution of adhered cells within scaffold is prerequisite. To achieve this goal, bioengineered graft consisting porous sandwiched with multilayered sheets mesenchymal stromal was developed.
In this work, we target at solving the Bing challenge provided by Microsoft. The task is to design an effective and efficient measurement of query terms in describing images (image-query pairs) crawled from web. We observe that image-query pairs (e.g., text-based image retrieval results) are usually related their surrounding text; however, relationship between content seems be ignored. Hence, attempt integrate visual information for better ranking results. addition, found plenty people...
This work attempts to tackle the IBM grand challenge - seeing daily life of New York City (NYC) in various perspectives by exploring rich and diverse social media content. Most existing works address this problem relying on single source covering limited aspects. Because different are usually chosen for specific purposes, multiple mining integration essential understand a city comprehensively. In work, we first discover similar unique natures (e.g., attractions, topics) across terms visual...
Abstract The stepped wedge design is often used to evaluate interventions as they are rolled out across schools, health clinics, communities, or other clusters. Most models in the and analysis of trials assume that intervention effect immediate constant over time following implementation (the “exposure time”). This known IT (immediate treatment effect) assumption. However, recent research has shown using methods based on assumption when varies exposure can give extremely misleading results....
Every day, vast amounts of data are uploaded to various social-sharing websites. Each website has its own media dataset. Recently, mining datasets shown great potential for our daily lives, e.g., earthquake detection. Generally, different have characteristics. Combining is capable achieving better performance than using any dataset independently, particularly if the can compensate each other. The resulting performance, however, depends on fusion method. Effectively combining challenging. As...
With the growth of mobile devices, needs for location-based services are emerging. Taking advantage GPS information, we can roughly estimate a user's location. However, it is necessary to leverage extra information (e.g., photos) precisely locate object interest through devices further applications such as search. Users simply take picture (with enabled) an interesting target retrieve building information. Therefore, raise real-time recognition or retrieval system becomes challenging...
Convenient new methods are developed for the preparation of 1',1'''''-disubstituted triferrocenes and tetraferrocenes that can be oxidized with iodine to a series mixed-valence compounds. The X-ray structures 1',1'''''-diethyltriferrocene, 1',1'''''-dimethoxymethyltriferrocene, 1',1'''''-dimethoxymethyltetraferrocene have been determined at 298 K. rates intramolecular electron transfer in these cations were estimated by variable-temperature 57Fe Mössbauer experiments. features all 80 300 K...
AIM: Gefitinib has been used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and is known to provide favorable outcomes some patients, especially Asian ethnicity. However, its ability stop malignant pleural effusion progression patients remains unclear. METHODS: The clinical response outcome gefitinib-treated NSCLC with effusions were reviewed retrospectively. Their associations epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation skin toxicity also studied. RESULTS: Fifty-six included...
Semi-supervised learning is to exploit the vast amount of unlabeled data in world. This paper proposes a scalable graph-based technique leveraging distributed computing power MapReduce programming model. For higher quality learning, also presents multi-layer structure unify both visual and textual information image during process. Experimental results show effectiveness proposed methods.
Abstract Background Hypertension (HTN) control among Blacks in the USA has become a major public health challenge. Barriers to HTN exist at multiple levels including patient, physician, and system. Patients also encounter significant community-level barriers, such as poor linkage social services that impact (unstable housing, food access, transportation). We describe multi-component needs assessment inform development, implementation, evaluation of program improve management within large...
Image graph attracts attention from researchers due to the empirical success of based semi-supervised learning (SSL) methods and tasks such as image clustering, navigation. Despite its simple structure, overwhelming scale online images makes construction a difficult problem. The challenge lies in time-consuming computation, difficulty storing, processing resulted graphs huge size. We propose novel method on MapReduce for large-scale data. consists two stages: first stage separates into...
Anti-reflection based on the mimicking of moth eye subwavelength structures (SWSs) has several advantages over conventionally used multilayer thin film antireflective coatings like broad angular and spectral responses, polarization insensitivity improved stability. In this study, we present low cost fabrication SWSs flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using Roll-to-Roll Ultraviolet Nanoimprint Lithography (UV-NIL). We have a novel method to create roller mold with embedded...
