Background and Purpose
In acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management, CT-based thrombus density has been associated with treatment success. However, currently used thrombus measurements are prone to inter-observer variability and oversimplify the heterogeneous thrombus composition. Our aim was first to introduce an automated method to assess the entire thrombus density and then to compare the measured entire thrombus density with respect to current standard manual measurements.Materials and Method
In 135 AIS patients, the density distribution of the entire thrombus was determined. Density distributions were described using medians, interquartile ranges (IQR), kurtosis, and skewedness. Differences between the median of entire thrombus measurements and commonly applied manual measurements using 3 regions of interest were determined using linear regression.Results
Density distributions varied considerably with medians ranging from 20.0 to 62.8 HU and IQRs ranging from 9.3 to 55.8 HU. The average median of the thrombus density distributions (43.5 ± 10.2 HU) was lower than the manual assessment (49.6 ± 8.0 HU) (p<0.05). The difference between manual measurements and median density of entire thrombus decreased with increasing density (r = 0.64; p<0.05), revealing relatively higher manual measurements for low density thrombi such that manual density measurement tend overestimates the real thrombus density.Conclusions
Automatic measurements of the full thrombus expose a wide variety of thrombi density distribution, which is not grasped with currently used manual measurement. Furthermore, discrimination of low and high density thrombi is improved with the automated method. 相似文献2.
Towards a framework for the evolutionary genomics of Kinetoplastids: what kind of data and how much?
The current status of kinetoplastids phylogeny and evolution is discussed in view of the recent progresses on genomics. Some ideas on a potential framework for the evolutionary genomics of kinetoplastids are presented. 相似文献

Intracoronary brachytherapy has recently emerged as a new therapy to prevent restenosis. Initial experimental work was achieved in animal models and the results were assessed by histomorphometry. Initial clinical trials used angiography to guide dosimetry and to assess efficacy. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) permits tomographic examination of the vessel wall, elucidating the true morphology of the lumen and transmural components, which cannot be investigated on the lumenogram obtained by angiography. This paper reviews the use of IVUS in the clinical studies of brachytherapy conducted to date. IVUS allows clinicians to make a thorough assessment of the remodeling of the vessel and appears to have a major role to play in facilitating understanding of the underlying mechanisms of action in this emerging field. The authors propose that state-of-the-art IVUS techniques should be employed to further knowledge of the mechanisms of action of brachytherapy in atherosclerotic human coronary arteries. 相似文献

We have developed an integrase-defective lentiviral (LV) vector in combination with a gene-targeting approach for gene therapy
of β-thalassemia. The β-globin gene-targeting construct has two homologous stems including sequence upstream and downstream
of the β-globin gene, a β-globin gene positioned between hygromycin and neomycin resistant genes and a herpes simplex virus
type 1 thymidine kinase (HSVtk) suicide gene. Utilization of integrase-defective LV as a vector for the β-globin gene increased the number of selected clones
relative to non-viral methods. This method represents an important step toward the ultimate goal of a clinical gene therapy
for β-thalassemia. 相似文献

Background
Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addressing this important problem. pHMM packages present a relatively small computational cost, and perform particularly well at recognizing remote homologies. This raises the question of whether structural alignments could impact the performance of pHMMs trained from proteins in the Twilight Zone, as structural alignments are often more accurate than sequence alignments at identifying motifs and functional residues. Next, we assess the impact of using structural alignments in pHMM performance. 相似文献8.

Naringinase produced by Penicillum decombens PTCC 5248 was immobilized by entrapping it in calcium alginate beads, hen egg white, gelatin open pore matrix and covalently attaching it to activated seeds of Ocimum basilicum. Optimum pH and temperature were found to be 4, 4.5, 4.5, 3.5 and 65 °C, 60 °C respectively for enzyme immobilized by each technique mentioned. Naringinase immobilized onto activated seeds of Ocimum basilicum was active for 7 days. 相似文献
