Brain Tumor Segmentation (BTS) is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, but existing CNN and Transformer-based methods often struggle with feature fusion and limited training data. While recent large-scale vision models like Segment Anything Model (SAM) and CLIP offer potential, SAM is trained on natural images, lacking medical domain knowledge, and its decoder struggles with accurate tumor segmentation. To address these challenges, we propose the Medical SAM-Clip Grafting Network (MSCG), which introduces a novel SC-grafting module.

Pulmonary endothelial injury is a critical factor in the pathogenesis and progression of coal pneumoconiosis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this injury remain poorly understood. To address this, we established a coal pneumoconiosis mouse model by chronic intranasal coal dust exposure over 9 months.

High fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity increases the risk and severity of psoriasis. However, the immunoregulatory effects of different HFDs on psoriasis pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Here, mimicking human dietary fat profiles, four HFDs-saturated, monounsaturated, omega-6, and omega-3 fats-were designed and used to induce obesity in mice.

Background: In recent years, gefitinib and docetaxel, as targeted and chemotherapeutic agents, respectively, have been widely used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the safety of these drugs remains a significant concern in clinical practice. Comparative studies on the safety of these two drugs have yet to be fully explored.

Maxillary underdevelopment is a critical component of skeletal Class III malocclusion, closely linked to altered biomechanical signaling. Mechanical stimulation through early facemask protraction can effectively promote maxillary growth, yet the underlying mechanotransduction mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) is identified as a key biomechanical responder in maxillary development.
