The latter was supported by comparing it to FTIR results of the modern tissue used.In the process of detecting heterogeneity in breast tissue based on multi-spectral transmission imaging, the detection accuracy will be affected due to the high redundancy degree of information between bands. In order to select the reasonable wavelength combination, this paper uses various nonlinear transformations to convert the multi-spectral images into spectral data for the first time, so as to select the set optimal wavelength combination based on the successive projections algorithm (SPA). Firstly, we design the collection experiment of 4-wavelength multi-spectral image. And then, K-SVD dictionary learning method, texture extraction method and gray correlation analysis method are used to obtain the feature spectral information. Finally, the set optimal wavelength combination is selected based on SPA. The experimental results show that random forest (RF) classification model and Faster-RCNN recognition models effectively verify that the combination of wavelengths 1,2,4 selected has the highest accuracy in the heterogeneous detection. In conclusion, this paper uses modulation-frame accumulation technique to improve the quality of multi-spectral transmission images. And based on the RF and Faster-RCNN models, the effectiveness of SPA-based optimal wavelength combination method proposed is verified, which will provide a new idea of feature wavelength selection for screening early breast masses through multi-spectral transmission imaging.Encapsulation of fluorophore in metal organic framework (MOF) is an effective method to construct multi-emissive composites. Unfortunately, the small molecules loaded in MOF pores are easy to leak. To overcome this difficulty, fluorescin (FL) is proposed to be encapsulated tightly in the cage of the small tetrahedron of UiO-67, as one of the organic ligands coordinated with the central ion Zr. Finally, stable multi-emission fluorescence was successfully achieved, and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurred between FL and UiO-67. Ascorbic acid (AA) can dynamically quench the fluorescence of FL@UiO-67 nanoclusters (NCs) through internal filtering effect, photoinduced electron transfer (PET). The detection limit of the probe for AA was as low as 0.20 μM, and the detection range was 0.67 μM-0.36 mM. The probe was further employed to detect Al3+ due to the coordination between Al3+ and the carboxyl group in the FL@UiO-67 NCs. The detection limit for Al3+ was 3.3 nM, and the linear range was 11 nM-5 μM agarose film and test paper were both prepared successfully for visual detection of AA and Al3+. This work provides new ideas for low-cost and convenient real-time detection method.

To evaluate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression in replanted permanent teeth with external root resorption (ERR).

The present cross-sectional study included 42 patients with replanted permanent teeth, presenting with progressive forms of ERR, and referred for extraction according to the rehabilitation treatment plan or due to root fractures. The control group consisted of 12 healthy premolars, from 5 patients with good periodontal health and no radiographic evidence of root resorption, referred for extraction for orthodontic reasons. Root fragments were processed soon after extraction, and the supernatant was collected to measure matrix metalloproteinase 2/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2/TIMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase 9/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-9/TIMP-2) complexes through a double-ligand enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Case groups with external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) or external replacement root resorption (ERRR) showed significantly higher levels of MMP-2/TIMP-2 and MMP-9/TIMP-2 complexes than the control group. Additionally, comparisons between the case groups demonstrated that the MMP-2/TIMP-2 complex also had significantly higher levels in the ERRR group (p < 0.001).

Our results suggest that MMP-2 and MMP-9 participate in the pathobiology of both types of ERR. In addition, the higher levels of MMP-2/TIMP-2 complex in the ERRR group support common modulation mechanisms with physiological bone turnover.

Bohr’s interpretation of quantum mechanics focuses on observation, the use of classical concepts in quantum mechanics, and indeterminacy of quantum processes as opposed to uncertainty of measurement. His view thereby shares some common ground with the logical positivists’ views on verification, the observation language, and anti-metaphysics. But Bohr also emphasized complementarity that certain pairs of concepts – such as position and momentum – are mutually exclusive in quantum mechanics since they, according to Bohr, are only meaningful relative to different experimental arrangements. Bohr believed that complementary brought a general epistemological lesson for all of science that an objective description of nature is not separable from the observational and experimental conditions under which we explore nature. Motivated by the common ground between himself and logical positivism, Bohr tried to persuade the logical positivists and Carnap in particular to adopt and champion complementarity as well as part of their unity of science program. Though his efforts ultimately proved in vain, Bohr’s attempts to influence logical positivism disprove the claim that his engagement with them was reluctant and purposefully limited.

Subclinical hypothyroidism has been associated with increased risk for depression, yet the findings remain controversial. It is possible that subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with some, but not all symptoms of depression. We examined symptom-specific associations between depression and subclinical hypothyroidism.

Participants (N=7683 adults) were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys of 2007-2008, 2009-2010, and 2011-2012 We included participants who had data on their thyroid profile and depressive symptoms (measured using Patient Health Questionnaire), and excluded those with overt hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, and those on thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Logistic regression with sampling weights was used to examine the association between subclinical hypothyroidism and depression symptoms. We also ran sensitivity analysis using different cut-off points for defining subclinical hypothyroidism.

Of all the participants, 208 (2.7%) had subclinical hypothyroidism and of them only six had depression.
