The Cox proportional hazards model commonly used to evaluate prognostic variables in survival of cancer patients may be too simplistic to properly predict a cancer patient's outcome since it assumes that the outcome is a linear combination of covariates. In this retrospective study including 255 patients suitable for analysis who underwent surgical treatment in our department from 2000 to 2017, we applied a deep learning-based survival prediction method in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) pati

Patients with odontogenic cysts and tumors may have to undergo serious surgery unless the lesion is properly detected at the early stage. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the real-time object detecting deep convolutional neural network You Only Look Once (YOLO) v2-a deep learning algorithm that can both detect and classify an object at the same time-on panoramic radiographs. In this study, 1602 lesions on panoramic radiographs taken from 2010 to 2019 at Yons

It was recently reported that prophylaxis against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) in fish was induced by pre-exposure to the infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). Here the establishment of IHNV immunity in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was investigated by IHNV challenge following non-lethal pre-infection with IPNV. Also, synthetic double-stranded RNA polyinosinic polycytidylic acid, Poly(I:C), an inducer for interferon (IFN), was evaluated as a substitute for IPNV induc

The thickness-dependent digital versus analog resistive switching of nickel oxide (NiOx) nanoparticle assemblies was investigated in a Ti/NiOx/Pt structure. The NiOx nanoparticles were chemically synthesized with ∼5 nm diameter. The Ti/NiOx/Pt structure with assembly thickness of ∼60 nm exhibited the digital-type bipolar resistive switching. However, the assembly with a thickness of ∼90 nm presented analog resistive switching with gradually decreasing resistance when sweeping −V while increasing

In the present study, the internal adaptation of dentin-composite interfaces with various resin composite materials under conditions of thermomechanical loading was analyzed nondestructively using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and these results were compared with analyses of microgaps after sectioning. Additionally, the correlation of internal adaptation with polymerization shrinkage strain and stress was evaluated. Four nonflowable resins, Gradia Direct (GD), Filtek P90 (P9), Filtek Z35

PURPOSE: To evaluate the correlation of foveal photoreceptor integrity with visual outcome in patients undergoing idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-three eyes of 43 patients were examined by SD-OCT before and at 1 and 6 months after vitrectomy for idiopathic ERM. Patients were divided into two groups based on the preoperative integrity of photoreceptor inner and outer segment junction (IS/OS) - G

Chronic neuroinflammation is a common feature of the aged brain, and its association with the major neurodegenerative changes involved in cognitive impairment and motor dysfunction is well established. One of the most potent antiaging interventions tested so far is dietary restriction (DR), which extends the lifespan in various organisms. Microglia and astrocytes are two major types of glial cells involved in the regulation of neuroinflammation. Accumulating evidence suggests that the age-relate

Secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) is involved in various cellular physiological and pathological responses, especially in inflammatory responses. Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammation is an underlying basis for the molecular alterations that link aging and age-related pathological processes. However, the involvement of sPLA(2) in cellular senescence is not clear. In this study, we found that sPLA(2) treatment induces cellular senescence in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), as conf
