Self-supervised Upsampling for Reconstructions with Generalized Enhancement in Photoacoustic Computed Tomography.

Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is an emerging hybrid imaging modality with potential applications in biomedicine. A major roadblock to the widespread adoption of PACT is the limited number of detectors, which gives rise to spatial aliasing and manifests as streak artifacts in the reconstructed image. A brute-force solution to the problem is to increase the number of detectors, which, however, is often undesirable due to escalated costs.

Ultra-Hydrophobic Gauze Driving Super-Haemostasis.

Controlling bleeding by applying pressing cotton gauze is the most facile treatment in prehospital emergencies. However, the wettable nature of cotton fibers leads to unnecessary blood loss due to excessive blood absorption, inseparable adhesion-induced pain, and pliable to infection. Here, a kind of ultra-hydrophobic haemostatic anti-adhesive gauze whose surface is loaded with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and hydrophobic-modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), achieving a water contact angle of ≈160° is developed.

Exploration of the Changes in Facial Microbiota of Maskne Patients and Healthy Controls Before and After Wearing Masks Using 16 S rRNA Analysis.

Acne, the most common complication after wearing masks, which is also called maskne, has been successfully introduced into the common language as a common topic of dermatologist consultations. This study aims to study the changes of microflora in maskne patients and healthy controls before and after wearing masks.

An academic achievements visualization research since the 21st century: research on salvage surgery for head and neck cancer.

Background: Head and neck cancer is the 6th most common malignancy worldwide, and its incidence is still on the rise. The salvage surgery has been considered as an important treatment strategy for persistent or recurrent head and neck cancer. Therefore, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of salvage surgery for head and neck cancer since the 21st century.

Investigating the different mechanisms in related neural activities: a focus on auditory perception and imagery.

Neuroimaging studies have shown that the neural representation of imagery is closely related to the perception modality; however, the undeniable different experiences between perception and imagery indicate that there are obvious neural mechanism differences between them, which cannot be explained by the simple theory that imagery is a form of weak perception. Considering the importance of functional integration of brain regions in neural activities, we conducted correlation analysis of neural activity in brain regions jointly activated by auditory imagery and perception, and then brain functional connectivity (FC) networks were obtained with a consistent structure. However, the connection values between the areas in the superior temporal gyrus and the right precentral cortex were significantly higher in auditory perception than in the imagery modality.

Effective Suppression of Amorphous GaO and Related Deep Levels on the GaN Surface by High-Temperature Remote Plasma Pretreatments in GaN-Based Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Electronic Devices.

Gallium nitride (GaN) has been considered one of the most promising materials for the next-generation power and radio-frequency electronic devices, as they can operate at higher voltage, higher frequency, and higher temperature, compared with their silicon (Si) counterparts. However, the fresh GaN surface is susceptible to the natural oxidation composed of GaO, GaO, and other intermediate oxidation states. Moreover, the oxidized GaN surface no longer features the distinct atomic step-terrace morphology, resulting in a degraded interface when gate or passivation dielectrics are deposited without appropriate pretreatment.

Resource scarcity aggravates ingroup bias: Neural mechanisms and cross-scenario validation.

Previous studies examining the relationship between ingroup bias and resource scarcity have produced heterogeneous findings, possibly due to their focus on the allocation of positive resources (e.g. money).

Multi-segmented feature coupling for jointly reconstructing initial pressure and speed of sound in photoacoustic computed tomography.

Significance: Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) is a fast-growing imaging modality. In PACT, the image quality is degraded due to the unknown distribution of the speed of sound (SoS). Emerging initial pressure (IP) and SoS joint-reconstruction methods promise reduced artifacts in PACT.

Electrochemiluminescence sensor for point-of-care detection of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and PA N-oxides are hepatotoxic natural products, produced by over 6000 plant species worldwide. However, an unmet need remains for confirmative measurement of PAs in routine clinical tests. Here, we develop a visual, easy-to-use, and economic mesoporous silica-electrochemiluminescence (MPS-ECL) sensor for point-of-care (POC) testing of PAs, utilizing MPS's amplification effect on positive ions.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence of a Ru(bpy) /arginine system: a specific and sensitive detection of acetaminophen.

Ru(bpy)Cl/TPrA is a prominent and widely used ECL system in analytical science. However, the co-reactant TPrA restricts the variety of applications because of its toxicity, volatility, and high cost. Here, we use arginine (Arg) as an alternative co-reactant for Ru(bpy) by taking advantage of its low cost, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility.
