Image Reconstruction of Electrical Impedance Tomography Based on Optical Image-Guided Group Sparsity
Impedance-optical Dual-modal Cell Culture Imaging with Learning-based Information Fusion
While Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) has found many biomedicine
applications, a better resolution is needed to provide quantitative analysis
for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This paper proposes an
impedance-optical dual-modal imaging framework, which is mainly aimed at
high-quality 3D cell culture imaging and can be extended to other tissue
engineering applications. The framework comprises three components, i.e., an
impedance-optical dual-modal sensor, the guidance image processing algorithm,
and a deep learning model named multi-scale feature cross fusion network
(MSFCF-Net) for information fusion. The MSFCF-Net has two inputs, i.e., the EIT
measurement and a binary mask image generated by the guidance image processing
algorithm, whose input is an RGB microscopic image. The network then
effectively fuses the information from the two different imaging modalities and
generates the final conductivity image. We assess the performance of the
proposed dual-modal framework by numerical simulation and MCF-7 cell imaging
experiments. The results show that the proposed method could significantly
improve image quality, indicating that impedance-optical joint imaging has the
potential to reveal the structural and functional information of tissue-level
targets simultaneously
Spatial Transform Decoupling for Oriented Object Detection
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have achieved remarkable success in computer
vision tasks. However, their potential in rotation-sensitive scenarios has not
been fully explored, and this limitation may be inherently attributed to the
lack of spatial invariance in the data-forwarding process. In this study, we
present a novel approach, termed Spatial Transform Decoupling (STD), providing
a simple-yet-effective solution for oriented object detection with ViTs. Built
upon stacked ViT blocks, STD utilizes separate network branches to predict the
position, size, and angle of bounding boxes, effectively harnessing the spatial
transform potential of ViTs in a divide-and-conquer fashion. Moreover, by
aggregating cascaded activation masks (CAMs) computed upon the regressed
parameters, STD gradually enhances features within regions of interest (RoIs),
which complements the self-attention mechanism. Without bells and whistles, STD
achieves state-of-the-art performance on the benchmark datasets including
DOTA-v1.0 (82.24% mAP) and HRSC2016 (98.55% mAP), which demonstrates the
effectiveness of the proposed method. Source code is available at

Diammonium bis[(2-aminoacetato-κ2 N,O)(2,2′-bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)(N,N-dimethylformamide-κO)copper(II)] hexacosaoxidooctamolybdate(VI)
The title compound, (NH4)2[Cu(C2H4NO2)(C10H8N2)(C3H7NO)]2[Mo8O26], contains a centrosymmetric β-type octamolybdate anion, two copper(II) complex cations and two ammonium ions. The CuII atom is coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry by a 2,2′-bipyridine and a 2-aminoacetate ligands in the basal plane and by an O atom of N,N-dimethylformamide in the apical position. The anions and cations are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network
Knockdown of LncRNA SBF2-AS1 Inhibited Gastric Cancer Tumorigenesis via the Wnt/LRP5 Signaling Pathway
This investigation aimed to uncover the impact of a long noncoding RNA, SET-binding factor 2 antisense RNA1 (SBF2-AS1) on the malignant progression of gastric cancer (GC) and to further explore its underlying mechanism. SBF2-AS1 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR in GC cell lines and GC tissues. In vitro loss-of-function studies of SBF2-AS1, accompanied by flow cytometry, CCK-8, and cell invasion tests, were applied to elucidate the impact of SBF2-AS1 on the tumor progression of GC cells. Finally, Western blotting and a luciferase assay were used to detect WNT/LRP5 signaling pathway activation. SBF2-AS1 was aberrantly expressed in GC cell lines (p<0.05) and GC tissues (p<0.05). Cell invasive and proliferative capabilities were inhibited via SBF2-AS1 knockdown, resulting in apoptosis of NCI-N87 and MKN74 cells. Additionally, online database analysis uncovered a positive correlation between SBF2-AS1 and the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway (p<0.05). SBF2-AS1 knockdown blocked the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway, whereas the effects of SBF2-AS1 knockdown on the malignant genotype of MKN74 as well as NCI-N87 cells were partially restored by triggering the Wnt/ LRP5 signaling pathway. High expression of SBF2-AS1 was found in GC, the malignant progression of which was repressed via SBF2-AS1 knockdown by inhibiting the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway
