    Abstract Electroencephalographic (EEG) data is considered contaminated with various types of artifacts. Deep learning has been successfully applied to developing EEG artifact removal techniques to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and enhance brain-computer interface performance. Recently, our research team has proposed an end-to-end UNet-based EEG artifact removal technique, IC-U-Net, which can reconstruct signals against various artifacts. However, this model suffers from being prone to overfitting with a limited training dataset size and demanding a high computational cost. To address these issues, this study attempted to leverage the architecture of UNet++ to improve the practicability of IC-U-Net by introducing dense skip connections in the encoder-decoder architecture. Results showed that this proposed model obtained superior SNR to the original model with half the number of parameters. Also, this proposed model achieved comparable convergency using a quarter of the training data size.

    Abstract Situs ambiguus is a rare congenital abnormality with outcomes ranging from asymptomatic to fatal. Here we present a woman with an incidental finding of situs ambiguus hinted by her chest radiograph. This case highlights the importance of actively seeking diagnosis when right sub-diaphragmic air is noted when viewing a chest radiograph.

    Abstract During the processing of mango, a huge amount of peel is generated, which is environmentally problematic. In the present study, a compressional-puffing process was adopted to pretreat the peels of various mango cultivars, and then the bioactive compounds of mango peels were extracted by water or ethanol. The phenolic compound compositions as well as the free radical-scavenging, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities of water extract (WE) and ethanol extract (EE) from nonpuffed (NP) and compressional-puffed (CP) mango peels were further evaluated. It was found that compressional-puffing could increase the yield of extracts obtained from most mango varieties and could augment the polyphenol content of extracts from Jinhwang and Tainoung number 1 (TN1) cultivars. The WE and EE from TN1 exhibited the highest polyphenol content and the greatest free radical-scavenging activities among the mango cultivars tested. Seven phenolic compounds (gallic acid, pyrogallol, chlorogenic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ECG, and CG) were detected in CPWE (compressional-puffed water extract) and CPEE (compressional-puffed ethanol extract) from TN1, and antioxidant stability of both CPWE and CPEE was higher than that of vitamin C. Further biological experiments revealed that CPEE from TN1 possessed the strongest anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities, and thus it is recommended as a multibioactive agent, which may have applications in the food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical industries.

    Abstract Polyalthia belong to the Annonaceae family and are a type of evergreen tree distributed across many tropical and subtropical regions. Polyalthia species have been used long term as indigenous medicine to treat certain diseases, including fever, diabetes, infection, digestive disease, etc. Recent studies have demonstrated that not only crude extracts but also the isolated pure compounds exhibit various pharmacological activities, such as anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-tumor, anti-cancer, etc. It is known that the initiation of cancer usually takes several years and is related to unhealthy lifestyle, as well as dietary and environmental factors, such as stress, toxins and smoking. In fact, natural or synthetic substances have been used as cancer chemoprevention to delay, impede, or even stop cancer growing. This review is an attempt to collect current available phytochemicals from Polyalthia species , which exhibit anti-cancer potentials for chemoprevention purposes, providing directions for further research on the interesting agents and possible clinical applications.

    Abstract The hormone which the adrenal cortex secretes is vital for animals against stress and diseases. The method described here is the procedure of primary cultured rat adrenal cells and related functional assays (immunofluorescence staining of lipid droplet surface protein, as well as corticosterone analysis). Unlike an in vivo model, the variation of interexperiments in adrenal monolayer cultures is less and the experimental condition is easy to control. Besides, the source of rats is also more stable than other animals, like bovine ones. There are also several human adrenal cell lines (NCI-H295, NCI-H295R, SW13, etc.) that can be used in adrenal studies. However, the steroid production of these lines will still be influenced by numerous factors, which include serum lot number, passage number, mutant/loss of distinct genes, etc. Except for lacking 17α-hydroxylase, the primary culture of rat adrenocortical cells is a better and more convenient technique for studying adrenal physiology. In summary, primary rat adrenal cultures could be a good in vitro platform for researchers to investigate the mechanisms of the reagent of interest in the adrenal gland system.

    Abstract Current tools are insufficient for distinguishing patients with ovarian cancer from those with benign ovarian lesions before extensive surgery. The present study utilized a readily accessible platform employing a negative selection strategy, followed by flow cytometry, to enumerate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with ovarian cancer. These counts were compared with those from patients with benign ovarian lesions. CTC counts at baseline, before and after anticancer therapy, and across various clinical scenarios involving ovarian lesions were assessed. A negative-selection protocol we proposed was applied to patients with suspected ovarian cancer and prospectively utilized in those subsequently confirmed to have malignancy. The protocol was implemented before anticancer therapy and at months 3, 6, 9 and 12 post-treatment. A cut-off value for CTC number at 4.75 cells/ml was established to distinguish ovarian malignancy from benign lesions, with an area under the curve of 0.900 (P<0.001). In patients with ovarian cancer, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that baseline CTC counts and the decline in CTCs within the first three months post-therapy were significant predictors of prolonged progression-free survival. Additionally, baseline CTC counts independently prognosticated overall survival. CTC counts obtained with the proposed platform, used in the present study, suggest that pre-operative CTC testing may be able to differentiate between malignant and benign tumors. Moreover, CTC counts may indicate oncologic outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer who have undergone cancer therapies.
