Automatic Lumbar Spinal CT Image Segmentation with a Dual Densely Connected U-Net [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
The clinical treatment of degenerative and developmental lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is different. Computed tomography (CT) is helpful in distinguishing degenerative and developmental LSS due to its advantage in imaging of osseous and calcified tissues. However, boundaries of the vertebral body, spinal canal and dural sac have low contrast and hard to

The cumulative analgesic effect of repeated electroacupuncture is modulated by Adora3 in the SCDH of mice with neuropathic pain

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain management via repeated electroacupuncture. Abstract Background Existing remedial approaches for relieving neuropathic pain (NPP) are challenging and open the way for alternative therapeutic measures such as electroacupuncture (EA). The mechanism underlying the antinociceptive effects of repeated EA sessions, particularly concerning ...

A mouse coccygeal intervertebral disc degeneration model with tail‐looping constructed using a suturing method

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A novel, simple coccygeal intervertebral disc degeneration model, using a suturing method for tail‐looping, without the need for external fixation and complex surgery. The model has high reproducibility and stability and overcomes the disadvantages of the existing animal models of disc degeneration.

High-resolution investigation of spinal cord and spine [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
High-resolution non-invasive 3D study of intact spine and spinal cord morphology on the level of complex vascular and neuronal organization is a crucial issue for the development of treatments for the injuries and pathologies of central nervous system (CNS). X-ray phase contrast tomography enables high quality 3D visualization in ex-vivo mouse model of

Effects of pregnancy on neuron electrophysiology in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and basolateral amygdala of mouse brain

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The electrophysiological change in neurons might contribute to the cognitive and emotional changes during pregnancy. Abstract Background Pregnancy affects learning and memory in women. Thus, to investigate the effects of pregnancy, the authors examined the brain electrophysiology of pregnant mice.

Description of unilateral kidney embolism and contralateral nephrectomy as a less invasive remnant kidney model in cats; a proof‐of‐concept study

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Unilateral, minimally invasive, renal arterial embolization and delayed contralateral nephrectomy was described in cats as a novel remnant kidney model of chronic kidney disease using two doses of embolic particles. Renal function declined and characteristic histopathological markers of kidney disease were present 6 months after the embolism procedure.

AI and Deep Learning for Automated Segmentation and Quantitative Measurement of Spinal Structures in MRI [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Background: Accurate spinal structure measurement is crucial for assessing spine health and diagnosing conditions like spondylosis, disc herniation, and stenosis. Manual methods for measuring intervertebral disc height and spinal canal diameter are subjective and time-consuming.

Translabial ultrasound evaluation after tension‐free transobturator tape technique: Outcomes based on the tape's position

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 160, Issue 1, Page 214-219, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of postoperative translabial ultrasound to assess the position of the tape implanted with the tension‐free transobturator tape technique. Methods We enrolled women with clinically and urodynamically proven type I or II stress urinary incontinence who were referred
