Rare earth elements (REEs) are exploited for global use in manufacturing. Such activities result in their release into the environment and the transformation into more stable phosphate deposition. The objective of this study was to evaluate molecular and behavioral changes of zebrafish exposed to the synthesized terbium phosphate (TbPO4) at concentrations of 10, 20, and 50 mg/L and to determine its potential for neurotoxicity. Metabolomics related to neurotransmitters, and assessment of transcripts and proteins were conducted to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying TbPO4 with emphasis on neurotransmitter systems. Exposure to 20 mg/L TbPO4 induced larval hyperactivity and perturbed the cholinergic system in zebrafish. Based on metabolomics related to neurotransmitters, dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), and many of their precursors and metabolites were decreased in abundance by TbPO4. In addition, the expression levels of transcripts related to the synthesis, transport, receptor binding, and metabolism of DA and 5-HT were analyzed at the mRNA and protein levels. Transcript and protein levels for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the rate-limiting enzyme for DA synthesis, were down-regulated in larval fish. Monoamine oxidase (MAO), an enzyme that catabolizes monoamines DA and 5-HT, was also reduced in mRNA abundance. We hypothesize that DA synthesis and monoamine metabolism are associated with behavioral alterations. This study elucidates putative mechanisms and exposure risks to wildlife and humans by characterizing phosphatic REE-induced neurotoxicity in developing zebrafish. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

In this study, we aim to address the challenges of micro-hydropower generation in low-head environments. The authors reviewed and assessed various factors affecting the feasibility of micro-hydro systems, such as geographical constraints, construction costs, and grid connectivity. To overcome the limitations of conventional hydro turbines in such conditions, the authors proposed a novel cross-flow turbine. Initially, they designed and analyzed an inverted cross-flow turbine based on design rules established by previous researchers and performed numerical analyses. Four steps parametric studies were conducted to achieved optimum turbine values, such as runner diameter ratio and the number of blades, considering the maximum efficiency point from the previous step. The best efficiency point of the optimized design turbine was 72.92 % at a runner rotational speed of 170 RPM with a 0.75 runner diameter ratio and 35 blades. To validate the optimized design, the authors compared it with the initial design using hill charts and numerical values obtained from parametric studies. Overall, this research demonstrates the usefulness of computational fluid dynamics simulations and parametric studies in optimizing the design of an inverted cross-flow turbine under low head conditions. © 2023, The Authors.

Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) is a predominant postoperative complication, often leading to visual impairment due to the aberrant proliferation and adhesion of lens epithelial cells (LECs) and protein precipitates subsequent to intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. To address this clinical issue, a foldable and antifouling sharp-edged IOL implant based on naturally-derived cellulose hydrogel is synthesized. The mechanical strength and transparency of the hydrogel is enhanced via repeated freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. The incorporated zwitterionic modifications can remarkably prevent the incidence of PCO by exhibiting proteins repulsion and cell anti-adhesion properties. The graft of dopamine onto both the haptic and the periphery of the posterior surface ensures the adhesion of the hydrogel to the posterior capsule and impedes the migration of LECs without compromising transparency. In in vivo study, the zwitterionic modified foldable hydrogel exhibits uveal and capsular biocompatibility synchronously with no signs of inflammatory response and prevent PCO formation, better than that of commercialized and PEG-modified IOL. With foldability, endurability, antifouling effect, and adhesive to posterior capsule, the reported hydrogel featuring heterogeneous surface design displays great potential to eradicate PCO and attain post-operative efficacy after cataract surgery. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

Quantitative positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), owing to the functional metabolic information and anatomical information of the human body that it presents, is useful to achieve accurate tumor delineation. However, manual annotation of a Volume Of Interest (VOI) is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. In this study, we automatically segmented the Head and Neck (H&N) primary tumor in combined PET/CT images. Herein, we propose a convolutional neural network named Multimodal Spatial Attention Network (MSA-Net), supplemented with a Spatial Attention Module (SAM), which uses a PET image as an input. We evaluated this model on the MICCAI 2021 HEad and neCK TumOR (HECKTOR) segmentation challenge dataset. Our method delivered a competitive cross-validation efficiency, with Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) 0.757, precision 0.788, and recall 0.785. When we tested out method on test dataset, we achieved an average DSC and Hausdorff Distance at 95% (HD95) of 0.766 and 3.155 respectively.

Ions released from inorganic biomaterials play a vital role in defining cell identity. However, the effect of inorganic ions on cellular functions has yet to be investigated at the transcriptomic level, representing a critical knowledge gap in the development of next-generation of bioactive materials. To address this gap, we investigated the impact of various inorganic ions including silver, copper, titanium, and platinum on human stem cells. Our finding showed that silver and copper induce osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation respectively, through enrichment of ion-dependent signaling pathways. Specifically, silver effectively induced Wnt and MAPK signaling, which are vital for osteogenesis. On the other hand, copper specifically stimulated TGFβ signaling, while suppressing JAK-STAT signaling, thereby promoting chondrogenesis. In contrast, platinum, tantalum, and titanium ions didn't stimulate regenerative responses. Titanium displayed minimal gene expression changes, demonstrating its relative inertness, while platinum and tantalum induced oxidative stress. These findings are further supported by gene and protein level validation using traditional techniques. Together, our findings highlight the potential of inorganic biomaterials in revolutionizing tissue regeneration strategies, which currently rely largely on growth factors and small molecule therapeutics. © 2023, The Authors.

Gene expression profiling technologies have been used in various applications such as cancer biology. The development of gene expression profiling has expanded the scope of target discovery in transcriptomic studies, and each technology produces data with distinct characteristics. In order to guarantee biologically meaningful findings using transcriptomic experiments, it is important to consider various experimental factors in a systematic way through statistical power analysis. In this paper, we review and discuss the power analysis for three types of gene expression profiling technologies from a practical standpoint, including bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, and high-throughput spatial transcriptomics. Specifically, we describe the existing power analysis tools for each research objective for each of the bulk RNA-seq and scRNA-seq experiments, along with recommendations. On the other hand, since there are no power analysis tools for high-throughput spatial transcriptomics at this point, we instead investigate the factors that can influence power analysis. © 2023, CC BY-NC-ND.

Assessing advertisements, specifically on the basis of user preferences and ad quality, is crucial to the marketing industry. Although recent studies have attempted to use deep neural networks for this purpose, these studies have not utilized image-related auxiliary attributes, which include embedded text frequently found in ad images. We, therefore, investigated the influence of these attributes on ad image preferences. First, we analyzed large-scale real-world ad log data and, based on our findings, proposed a novel multi-step modality fusion network (M2FN) that determines advertising images likely to appeal to user preferences. Our method utilizes auxiliary attributes through multiple steps in the network, which include conditional batch normalization-based low-level fusion and attention-based high-level fusion. We verified M2FN on the AVA dataset, which is widely used for aesthetic image assessment, and then demonstrated that M2FN can achieve state-of-the-art performance in preference prediction using a real-world ad dataset with rich auxiliary attributes. © 2021, CC BY-NC-SA.

IEEE Symposium on Nuclear science (NSS/MIC)

作者： C. Park S. Kim J. Seo M. Alima H. Kim H. Park K. Lee S. Cho J.-Y. Yeom Global Health Technology Research Center Korea University Seongbuk-Gu Republic of Korea Interdisciplinary Program in Precision Public Health Korea University Seongbuk-Gu Republic of Korea Department of Health and Safety Convergence Science Korea University Seongbuk-Gu Republic of Korea Department of Bioengineering Korea University Seongbuk-Gu Republic of Korea Department of Radiation Oncology Chonnam National University Medical School Dong-Gu Republic of Korea School of Biomedical Engineering Korea University Seongbuk-Gu Republic of Korea

The radiation tolerance of several inorganic scintillators was investigated to ensure their reproducibility in electron beam exposure. LuAG:Pr, GPS:Ce, LYSO:Ce, GAGG:Ce single, and GAGG:Ce ceramic scintillators were prepared with all faces polished mechanically and thermally annealed. Electron beam exposures at 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 3000 Gy were conducted using a 6 MeV clinical electron beam from a Varian Novalis Tx linear accelerator with a 270-degree bending magnet. Energy spectra were acquired by exciting a 137 Cs source coupled to a photomultiplier tube (PMT) kept in the dark box with a biased high voltage of -900 V. The relative light output of GPS:Ce and LuAG:Pr compared to the baseline decreased steadily after electron beam exposure, recording 66.2% and 56.9%, respectively, at a dose of 3 kGy. The transmittance and photoluminescence of these scintillators also deteriorated with increasing crystallographic defects. In contrast, LYSO:Ce and GAGG:Ce scintillators demonstrated high tolerance to electron beams. Thermal annealing was shown to restore the scintillation properties of the degraded scintillators. These findings provide valuable insights into the radiation tolerance of inorganic scintillators and have implications for the design of radiation detectors for various applications, including radiation therapy and aerospace. Using inorganic scintillators in radiation therapy is particularly critical for estimating radiation exposure. The potential of these scintillators in aerospace applications will also be explored based on the promising results of this study.
