Oxidative Coupling Assay for Mesalazine Determination in Pharmaceuticals and Spiked Human Plasma Utilizing Syringic Acid by Suzan S. Taha, Diyar S. Ali

“…The method utilizes the oxidative coupling of MSZ with syringic acid (4-hydroxy 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid) in the presence of dissolved oxygen under alkaline conditions to form a stable indophenol dye with a characteristic blue color, which can be measured at 615 nm. Beer’s law was found to be obeyed over the range of 1.25–50 µg·mL−1, with a molar absorptivity of 0.53 × 104 mol−1·L−1·cm−1. …”

Effect of Acupotomy Intervention on Fibrosis of Rectus Femoris in Rabbits with Knee Osteoarthritis by LIU Jing, ZENG Weiquan, LIN Qiaoxuan, LU Liming, GUO Zexing, LIU Hong, ZHANG Liangzhi, XIU Zhongbiao

“…RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of type Ⅰ collagen fibers (ColⅠ), vimentin (VIM), and Alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the rectus femoris muscle to observe the effect of acupotomy on the knee osteoarthritis.Results1) Masson staining results showed that neat red-stained skeletal muscle fibers can be seen in the blank group; skeletal muscle fibers can be seen in the model group damaged and surrounded by a large amount of blue-stained collagen fibers; in the acupotomy group, skeletal muscle fibers can be seen neatly and a small amount of blue-stained collagen fibers wrap around. …”

Image denoising algorithm based on multi-channel GAN by Hongyan WANG, Xiao YANG, Yanchao JIANG, Zumin WANG

“…Aiming at the issue that the noise generated during image acquisition and transmission would degrade the ability of subsequent image processing, a generative adversarial network (GAN) based multi-channel image denoising algorithm was developed.The noisy color image could be separated into red-green-blue (RGB) three channels via the proposed approach, and then the denoising could be implemented in each channel on the basis of an end-to-end trainable GAN with the same architecture.The generator module of GAN was constructed based on the U-net derivative network and residual blocks such that the high-level feature information could be extracted effectively via referring to the low-level feature information to avoid the loss of the detail information.In the meantime, the discriminator module could be demonstrated on the basis of fully convolutional neural network such that the pixel-level classification could be achieved to improve the discrimination accuracy.Besides, in order to improve the denoising ability and retain the image detail as much as possible, the composite loss function could be depicted by the illustrated denoising network based on the following three loss measures, adversarial loss, visual perception loss, and mean square error (MSE).Finally, the resultant three-channel output information could be fused by exploiting the arithmetic mean method to obtain the final denoised image.Compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can remove the image noise effectively and restore the original image details considerably.…”
