Effect of celecoxib and paracetamol on the functional state of the central nervous system, pain sensitivity, and physical endurance of rats with acute heat injury by P.O. Chuikova, S.Yu. Shtrygol’

“…Since the effectiveness of drugs for the treatment of thermal injuries has not been proven, the search for new thermoprotective agents with different mechanisms of action, in particular inhibitors of the arachidonic acid cascade, is urgent. In a preliminary screening study on the AHI model in rats, it was found that among cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors, the highly selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib and the analgesic-antipyretic para­cetamol are the most effective in preventing hyperthermia and improving the course of the recovery period. …”

Three-Dimensional Diffusion Model in Sports Dance Video Human Skeleton Detection and Extraction by Zhi Li

“…The research in this paper mainly includes as follows: for the principle of action recognition based on the 3D diffusion model convolutional neural network, the whole detection process is carried out from fine to coarse using a bottom-up approach; for the human skeleton detection accuracy, a multibranch multistage cascaded CNN structure is proposed, and this network structure enables the model to learn the relationship between the joints of the human body from the original image and effectively predict the occluded parts, allowing simultaneous prediction of skeleton point positions and skeleton point association information on the one hand, and refinement of the detection results in an iterative manner on the other. …”
