Objective: It is reported that idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is associated with alteration of attention,executive functions,and visuospatial abilities. In addition,it is known that about half of the iRBD patients have mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aim of this study was to explore the differences between iRBD patients with MCI and ones without MCI. Methods: 14 healthy controls (HC),24 iRBD patients without MCI (iRBD-nMCI),and 24 iRBD patients with MCI (iRBD-MCI) were recruited.
In order to perform preoperative surgical planning, accurate segmentation of anatomical structures in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is required. However, this image segmentation is often impeded by metal...

In this study, we presents a novel method for generating synthetic brain MRI images from amyloid PET/CT scans using an enhanced Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) conditioned with the joint probability distribution. We explored the use of early and late-phase 18 F -Florbetaben PET scans to guide the synthesis process within our DDPM framework, verifying that early-phase scans significantly improved the quality of synthetic MRI generation compared to other deep learning models. In addition, the proposed DDPMs using early-phase PET/CT suggest promising results, particularly for enhancing the accuracy of regional gray matter volume measurements and facilitating PET partial volume corrections in settings where traditional MRI is unavailable.
In this study, the properties of Cs3Cu2I5 (CCI) crystals grown using the Slow Vacuum Evaporation Technique (SVET) were examined. Crystals were grown at room temperature (300 K, 27 °C) under vacuum conditions, pro...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various tumors. Currently, many diagnostic systems have been developed to detect miRNAs, but simple techniques for detecting miRNAs are still required. Recently, we reported that the expression of miRNA-135b is upregulated in gastric epithelial cells during gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis. Our aim was to develop an in vitro diagnostic platform to analyze the expression of gastric cancer-related biomarkers in the blood. The diagnostic platform comprised an isothermal amplification-based lateral flow biosensor (IA-LFB) that enables easy diagnosis of gastric cancer through visual observation. In this platform, trace amounts of biomarkers are isothermally amplified through rolling circle amplification (RCA), and the amplified product is grafted to the LFB. The performance of the IA-LFB was confirmed using RNAs extracted from in vitro and in vivo models. The platform could detect target miRNAs within 3 h with excellent sensitivity and selectivity. In particular, the IA-LFB could detect the overexpression of gastric cancer-related markers (miRNA-135b and miRNA-21) in RNAs extracted from the blood of patients with various stages (stages 1-4) of gastric cancer compared to that in healthy volunteers. Therefore, IA-LFB is a simple and sensitive in vitro diagnostic system for detecting gastric cancer-related biomarkers and can contribute to the early diagnosis and prognosis monitoring of gastric cancer. Furthermore, this technology can be applied to systems that can detect multiple biomarkers related to various diseases (such as infectious and genetic diseases).
