Targeted generative data augmentation for automatic metastases detection from free-text radiology reports by Maede Ashofteh Barabadi, Xiaodan Zhu, Wai Yip Chan, Amber L. Simpson, Richard K. G. Do

“…We further investigate three targeted data augmentation techniques which selectively expand the original training samples, leading to comparable or superior performance compared to vanilla data augmentation, in most cases, while being substantially more computationally efficient. In our experiments, data augmentation improved the average F1-score by 2.3, 3.5, and 3.9 points for lung, liver, and adrenal glands, the organs for which we had access to expert-annotated data. …”

ROS-mediated M1 polarization-necroptosis crosstalk involved in Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate-induced chicken liver injury by Guangxing Li, Menglin Wu, Kaiting Chen, Yue Xu, Xiandan Zhang, Yang Chen, Hong Zhang, Ruili Zhang, Xiaodan Huang

“…In addition, there was increased infiltration of liver macrophages (CD68), upregulation of M1 polarization indicators (CD86, iNOS, IL-1β, TNF-α) and downregulation of M2 polarization indicators (CD163, Arg-1, IL-10, TGF-β) and appearance of necroptosis (RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL). The vitro experiments confirmed the addition of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibited M1 polarization and necroptosis. …”

Sorption Characteristics and Chromatographic Separation of 90Y3+ from 90Sr2+ from Aqueous Media by Chelex-100 (Anion Ion Exchange) Packed Column by Mohammad S. El-Shahawi, Hassan Alwael, Abdulaziz A. Alsibaai, Abdelgany Hamza, Faisal K. Algethami, Fatmah M. Alshareef, Sanaa H. El-Khouly, Neven Eweda

“…Thus, in this context the sorption profiles of Y3+ and Sr2+ from aqueous solutions containing diethylenetriaminepenta acetic acid (DTPA), ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA), acetic acid, citric acid, or NaCl onto Chelex-100 (anion ion exchange) solid sorbent were critically studied for developing an efficient and low-cost methodology for selective separation of Y3+ from Sr2+ ions (1.0 × 10−5 M). Batch experiments displayed relative chemical extraction percentage (98 ± 5.4%) of Y3+ from aqueous acetic acid solution onto Chelex-100 (anion ion exchanger), whereas Sr2+ species showed no sorption. …”
