    Abstract Positive evidence from clinical trials has fueled growing acceptance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of cardiac diseases; however, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Here, we investigated the nature and underlying mechanisms of the effects of YiXin-Shu (YXS), an antioxidant-enriched TCM formula, on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. YXS pretreatment significantly reduced infarct size and improved viable myocardium metabolism and cardiac function in hypercholesterolemic mice. Mechanistically, YXS attenuated myocardial apoptosis by inhibiting the mitochondrial mediated apoptosis pathway (as reflected by inhibition of mitochondrial swelling, cytochrome c release and caspase-9 activity, and normalization of Bcl-2 and Bax levels) without altering the death receptor and endoplasmic reticulum-stress death pathways. Moreover, YXS reduced oxidative/nitrative stress (as reflected by decreased superoxide and nitrotyrosine content and normalized pro- and anti-oxidant enzyme levels). Interestingly, YXS upregulated endogenous nuclear receptors including LXRα, PPARα, PPARβ and ERα, and in-vivo knockdown of cardiac-specific LXRα significantly blunted the cardio-protective effects of YXS. Collectively, these data show that YXS is effective in mitigating MI/R injury by suppressing mitochondrial mediated apoptosis and oxidative stress and by upregulating LXRα, thereby providing a rationale for future clinical trials and clinical applications.

    Abstract Neural radiance fields (NeRFs) leverage a neural representation to encode scenes, obtaining photorealistic rendering of novel views. However, NeRF has notable limitations. A significant drawback is that it does not capture surface geometry and only renders the object surface colors. Furthermore, the training of NeRF is exceedingly time-consuming. We propose Depth-NeRF as a solution to these issues. Specifically, our approach employs a fast depth completion algorithm to denoise and complete the depth maps generated by RGB-D cameras. These improved depth maps guide the sampling points of NeRF to be distributed closer to the scene's surface, benefiting from dense depth information. Furthermore, we have optimized the network structure of NeRF and integrated depth information to constrain the optimization process, ensuring that the termination distribution of the ray is consistent with the scene's geometry. Compared to NeRF, our method accelerates the training speed by 18%, and the rendered images achieve a higher PSNR than those obtained by mainstream methods. Additionally, there is a significant reduction in RMSE between the rendered scene depth and the ground truth depth, which indicates that our method can better capture the geometric information of the scene. With these improvements, we can train the NeRF model more efficiently and achieve more accurate rendering results.

    Abstract Background: Brain abscess (BA) is a rare but life-threatening infection. Early identification of the pathogen is helpful to improve the outcomes. This study aimed to describe the clinical and radiological features of patients with BA caused by different organisms.
    Methods: A retrospective, observational study of patients with known etiologic diagnosis of BA in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in China between January 2015 and December 2020 was conducted. Data on patient demographics, clinical and radiological presenting features, microbiological results, surgical treatment, and outcomes were collected.
    Results: Sixty-five patients (49 male, 16 female) with primary BAs were included. Frequent clinical presentations included headache (64.6%), fever (49.2%) and confusion (27.3%).

    Abstract The automatic segmentation and classification of skin lesions are two essential tasks in computer-aided skin cancer diagnosis. Segmentation aims to detect the location and boundary of the skin lesion area, while classification is used to evaluate the type of skin lesion. The location and contour information of lesions provided by segmentation is essential for the classification of skin lesions, while the skin disease classification helps generate target localization maps to assist the segmentation task. Although the segmentation and classification are studied independently in most cases, we find meaningful information can be explored using the correlation of dermatological segmentation and classification tasks, especially when the sample data are insufficient. In this paper, we propose a collaborative learning deep convolutional neural networks (CL-DCNN) model based on the teacher–student learning method for dermatological segmentation and classification. To generate high-quality pseudo-labels, we provide a self-training method. The segmentation network is selectively retrained through classification network screening pseudo-labels. Specially, we obtain high-quality pseudo-labels for the segmentation network by providing a reliability measure method. We also employ class activation maps to improve the location ability of the segmentation network. Furthermore, we provide the lesion contour information by using the lesion segmentation masks to improve the recognition ability of the classification network. Experiments are carried on the ISIC 2017 and ISIC Archive datasets. The CL-DCNN model achieved a Jaccard of 79.1% on the skin lesion segmentation task and an average AUC of 93.7% on the skin disease classification task, which is superior to the advanced skin lesion segmentation methods and classification methods.

    Abstract Background: Brain abscess (BA) is a rare but life-threatening infection. Early identification of the pathogen is helpful to improve the outcomes. This study aimed to describe the clinical and radiological features of patients with BA caused by different organisms. Methods: A retrospective, observational study of patients with known etiologic diagnosis of BA in Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in China between January 2015 and December 2020 was conducted. Data on patient demographics, clinical and radiological presenting features, microbiological results, surgical treatment, and outcomes were collected. Results: Sixty-five patients (49 male, 16 female) with primary BAs were included. Frequent clinical presentations included headache (64.6%), fever (49.2%) and confusion (27.3%). Streptococcus viridans was associated with thicker wall of abscesses (6.94 ± 8.43 mm for S. viridans versus 3.66 ± 1.74 mm for other organisms, P = 0.031) and larger oedema (89.40 ± 15.70 mm for S. viridans versus 74.72 ± 19.70 mm for other organisms, P = 0.023). The independent factor associated with poor outcome identified by multivariate analysis was confusion (Odds ratio 6.215, 95% confidence interval 1.406–27.466; P = 0.016). Conclusions: Patients with BAs caused by Streptococcus species had nonspecific clinical signs, but specific radiological features, which might be helpful for early diagnosis.
