The MIC of KR-1 and KR-2 for was 3.2 μmol/L and 12.8 μmol/L, respectively. Under the effective concentration, KR-1 and KR-2 resulted in hemolysis rates of 0.35% and 48.8% in rabbit red blood cells and lowered the survival rates of gingival fibroblasts to 88.7% and 21.94%, respectively. Finerenone KR-1 treatment significantly reduced biofilm formation with a minimum biofilm inhibition concentration (MBIC ) lower than 1.92 μmol/L, and showed an even stronger antimicrobial than CHX at the concentration of 2.56 μmol/L ( =0.001). Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that the biofilm structure became loosened after KR-1 treatment, which was capable of killing about 90% of the bacteria within 5 min. The antimicrobial peptide KR-1 has a stronger antibacterial activity and a low toxicity with a good inhibitory effect against biofilm.The antimicrobial peptide KR-1 has a stronger antibacterial activity and a low toxicity with a good inhibitory effect against S. mutans biofilm. To analyze the respiratory motion of the scanned object during acquisition of digital chest tomosynthesis (CTS) using a linear model. Respiratory signals were generated by extracting the motion of the diaphragm from the projection radiographs. The diaphragm trajectory obtained by dynamic programming (DP) was modeled and fitted, and according to the fitting of the data, the base motion curve and respiratory signal curve of the diaphragm were separated. Multipurpose chest phantom data, simulated digital Xcat phantom data and the datasets of 3 clinical patients were used to validate the performance of the proposed method. The motion trajectory of the diaphragm extracted from multipurpose chest phantom simulation data was linear. The respiratory signals could be effectively extracted from the 3 datasets of clinical patients in different respiratory states. The correlation coefficient between the respiratory signal extracted in Xcat simulation experiment and the original design was 0.9797. The linear model can effectively obtain the respiratory motion information of patients in real time, thus enabling the physicians to make clinical decisions on a rescan.The linear model can effectively obtain the respiratory motion information of patients in real time, thus enabling the physicians to make clinical decisions on a rescan. To prepare Mn -doped Prussian blue nanoparticles (Mn-PB NPs) for T1-T2 dual-mode magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photothermal therapy . Mn-PB NPs were prepared based on manganese chloride, ferrous chloride and potassium ferricyanide using the microemulsion method. The performance of T1-T2 dual-mode MRI with Mn-PB NPs and the photothermal property of the nanoparticles were assessed. CCK-8 assay and AM/PI double staining were used to evaluate the effect of photothermal therapy using the parepared nanoparticles. The prepared Mn-PB NPs had a mean particle size of 39.46±0.42 nm with a Zeta potential of -25.9±1.2 mV and exhibited a good dispersibility and uniform particle size. In MRI using the nanoparticles, the r1 and r2 values reached 0.68 and 3.65 (mmol/L) s , respectively, indicating good performance of Mn-PB NPs for T1 and T2 enhancement in MRI. When irradiated with 808 nm laser for 10 min, Mn-PB NPs showed a temperature rise to 90 ℃ to cause significant reduction of cell survival. CCK-8 assay and AM/PI double staining confirmed that Mn-PB NPs were capable of efficient killing of HepG2 cells upon 808 nm laser irradiation. The Mn-PB NPs prepared in this work have uniform particle size and show good performances both in MRI for T1 and T2 enhancement and in photothermal therapy without obvious cytotoxicity.The Mn-PB NPs prepared in this work have uniform particle size and show good performances both in MRI for T1 and T2 enhancement and in photothermal therapy in vitro without obvious cytotoxicity. To assess the imaging performance of digital breast tomography (DBT) based on systematic simulation. The raw measurements of physical phantoms at a variety of radiation dose levels and clinical patients at the normal radiation dose were acquired from a clinical DBT system for low-dose simulation and reconstruction using 3 reconstruction algorithms, namely Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK), simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) and adaptive steepest-descent projection onto convex sets with total-variation constraint (ASDPOCS-TV) algorithms. The image quality was compared across different radiation dose levels and reconstruction algorithms in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), noise-power spectrum (NPS), artifact spread function (ASF) and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of ASF indexes. The reliability of low-dose DBT simulation strategy was verified by the experiment. Within a suitable range of dose levels, increasing the doses resulted in reduced high-freask. To investigate the value of quantitative detection of ITGA4 and SFRP2 gene methylation in stool DNA for the early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of colorectal tumors. Real-time PCR was used for quantitative assessment of ITGA4 and SFRP2 gene methylation levels in stool samples of 85 patients with colorectal cancer, 65 patients with colorectal adenoma and 40 healthy subjects. The 3 groups were comparable for age and gender composition. Methylated ITGA4 and SFRP2 promoters were detected in 48.2% and 62.4% of patients with colorectal cancer, respectively, with a combined positivity of 81.2%. ITGA4 and SFRP2 promoter methylation was detected in 23.1% and 43.1% of patients with colorectal adenoma, respectively, with a combined positivity of 69.2%. The positivity rates of ITGA4 and SFRP2 methylation were significantly higher in patients with colorectal cancer than in those with colorectal adenoma ( < 0.001; = 0.001) and healthy subjects ( < 0.001; < 0.001). In colorectal cancer group, Ior. ITGA4 and SFRP2 promoter methylation and the degree of tumor differentiation are independent risk factors for colorectal cancer recurrence. To identify new therapeutic targets for intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) by analyzing gene variations in IDD. We analyzed surgical samples of intervertebral disc from 4 patients with IDD and 3 patients with non-IDD using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology to identify significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in IDD. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases were utilized for gene enrichment studies to acquire the key genes and signal pathways during IDD progression. The differential expressions of the identified genes in IDD were validated in clinical samples with qRT-PCR. The transcriptome profile revealed 512 significant DEGs, which were enriched in terms of keratinization, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, growth factor binding, and inflammatory chemotaxis in GO analysis. The top 10 terms of KEGG enrichment included amoebiasis, viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor, ECM-receptor interaction, IL-17 signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, TNF signaling pathway, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway and estrogen signaling pathway.
