This paper presents a novel speckle suppression method for medical B-scan ultrasonic images. An original image is first separated into two parts with an adaptive filter. These are then transformed multiscale wavelet domain and the coefficients processed by soft thresholding method, which variation of Donoho's (1995) method. The each part back space domain. Finally, denoised obtained as sum parts. A computer-simulated in vitro pig heart have been used to test performance this new technique...
Silicosis is a refractory pneumoconiosis of unknown etiology that characterized by diffuse lung fibrosis, and microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation connected to silicosis. Emerging evidence suggests miRNAs modulate pulmonary fibrosis through autophagy; however, its underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In agreement with miRNA microarray analysis, the qRT-PCR results showed miR-29a-3p was significantly decreased in model both vitro vivo. Increased autophagosome observed via transmission...
Abstract Silicosis is a common occupational disease and represents significant contributor to respiratory morbidity mortality worldwide. Lipid-laden macrophages, or foam cells, are observed in the lungs of patients with silicosis but mechanisms mediating their formation remain poorly understood. In this study, we sought elucidate by which silica promotes cell lung, determine whether uptake lipids alone sufficient drive TGF-β production alveolar macrophages. Consistent previous reports, found...
N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) has been shown to play a key role in tumor metastasis. Recent studies demonstrate that NDRG1 can suppress growth and is related proliferation; however, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain obscure.Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used detect p21 protein expression colorectal cancer tissue, clinical significance of also analyzed. CCK-8 assay, colony formation flow cytometry, xenograft model were assess effect on proliferation vivo vitro. The...
Abstract Silicosis is a well‐acknowledged occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of large amount free silica dust during the production period and eventually considerable negative impact on patients' quality life. Autophagy exerts critical influence immune inflammatory responses pathogenesis pulmonary fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine whether autophagy involved in silicosis's how it may affect cellular physiology. animal experiments, found persistent activation...
Silicosis is a refractory disease. Previous studies indicate that damaged alveolar epithelial cells act as driver in pulmonary fibrosis. Our results show acquire the mesenchymal phenotype are associated with pathogenesis of silicosis. c-Src kinase, non-receptor tyrosine has been shown to be positive regulator organ fibrosis, but specific mechanisms remain unclear and rarely researched The activated Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinases/AKT(PI3K/AKT) pathway promotes We aimed determine whether...
Cyclin D1 is a cell cycle machine, sensor of extracellular signals and plays an important role in G1-S phase progression. The human cyclin promoter contains multiple transcription factor binding sites such as AP-1, NF-қB, E2F, Oct-1, so on. functions through the signal transduction pathways converging at to active or inhibit activity regulate Different different time get correct switch. Disorder regulation special stimuli can result out control regulation. Epigenetic modifications DNA...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a normal metabolic product of cellular respiration, but too much ROS can induce cell apoptosis. Here, we used N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to inhibit activity explore the effects NAC on silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats and provide evidence for study mechanism silicosis. 24 adult male Sprague-Dawley weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into three groups with eight each group. Silicosis model group adopted non-tracheal exposure method disposable...
An efficient strategy for the synthesis of α-hydroxyamino phosphine oxides by hydrophosphinylation nitrones under catalyst-free and water-as-solvent conditions is reported.
The N-myc downstream-regulated gene (NDRG) family, NDRG1-4, has been involved in a wide spectrum of biological functions multiple cancers. However, their prognostic values remain sparse gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, it is crucial to systematically investigate the NDRG family GC.The were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier Plotter and SurvExpress. mRNA was investigated Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Transcription factors (TFs) miRNAs associated with predicted NetworkAnalysis. DNA methylation levels...
Silicosis, a type of lung inflammation and fibrosis caused by long-term inhalation SiO
Mounting evidence in the cancer literature suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs) influence progression of human cells by targeting protein-coding genes. How insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF1) and miR-186-3p contribute to development cervical (CC) remains unclear. This study examined regulatory roles IGF1 CC development.Gene expression levels were determined qRT-PCR. Proliferation, migration, apoptosis normal MTT, Transwell, caspase-3 activity assays, respectively. Dual-luciferase reporter RNA...
What is the central question of this study? are effects antifibrotic peptide acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (Ac-SDKP) on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-angiotensin-(1-7)-Mas axis during occurrence and progression silicosis? main finding its importance? Ac-SDKP inhibited lung fibrosis in rats exposed to silica by activation ACE2-angiotensin-(1-7)-Mas axis. Angiotensin-(1-7) potentially promotes increasing level meprin α, major synthetase Ac-SDKP. Thus, interaction...
Silicosis is a fibrotic disease caused by long-term inhalation of SiO2 particles that currently has no effective treatment. Earlier studies have suggested pulmonary lymphatic vessels play key role in the transport silica but not address effects altered drainage on silicosis. Here, we investigated impact impaired In past, disorders were established mainly through use VEGF inhibitors. For first time, model disorder ligating thoracic duct rats. Impaired was found to aggravate inflammation and...
