“…We propose a booster Variational Autoencoder (bVAE) to capture spatial variations in RGC loss and generate latent space (LS) montage maps that visualize different degrees and spatial patterns of optic nerve bundle injury. Furthermore, the bVAE model is capable of tracking the spatial pattern of RGC thinning over time and classifying the underlying cause.MethodsThe bVAE model consists of an encoder, a display decoder, and a booster decoder. …”

“…In the artemisinin-treated groups, significant alterations in gene expression were observed, including a marked upregulation of interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-α, and toll-like receptor-2 (P < 0.05); however, the expression of tumor necrosis factor-β and toll-like receptor-1 was significantly downregulated (P < 0.05), suggesting that artemisinin may mitigate intestinal inflammatory injury. Artemisinin supplementation significantly enhanced the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, CAT, and T-AOC in the liver and hindgut (P < 0.05),while also reducing MDA levels, thereby demonstrating its protective effect against oxidative stress and its ability to strengthen antioxidant defense system. …”
