Automatic hierarchical background virtualization method for monocular vision image based on depth information extraction
Authors: Peng Mingcheng , Xie Wenda 
Published: August 2024

Due to the influence of illumination, noise, distortion and other factors on monocular vision images, the image quality is reduced, the difficulty of image information extraction is high, and there are often errors and uncertainties in background segmentation, which affect the effect of monocular vision image background virtualization. Therefore, a new depth information extraction monocular vision image automatic hierarchical background virtualization method is studied to improve the effect of background virtualization. The depth information map is extracted by anisotropic thermal diffusion equation. The morphology is used to fill the tiny holes in the depth information map, and its smoothing process is used to determine the image depth range, automatically layer the depth information map, and obtain the foreground layer and background layer. The background layer is virtualized by Gaussian blur operation. Pyramid image fusion method is used to fuse the foreground layer and the blurred background layer to complete the background virtualization of monocular vision image. Experimental results have shown that this method can effectively improve the clarity of depth information map edges, preserve a large amount of image edge information, and have high structural similarity, with an average value of 0.96. The efficiency is high, and the background virtualization time is only 15 ms.

Published: August 2024

The problems of the book publishing in the languages of the peoples of Russia appeared to be pressing within the context of the national language policy of the Russian Federation. The market conditions in the contemporary book publishing business have negatively influenced this sector of the All-Russian publisher's repertory in many respects. The state publishing statistics evidences on this and enables to define the obvious leaders and outsiders among the concrete regions and languages: the Tatarian, Yakutian and Bashkirian, etc. languages are among the leaders, and practically all languages of the small peoples of the North and the East of Russia belong to the latter group. This is also true for the printed periodicals, i.e. newspapers, magazines and journals. At the same time, the negative trends exist in the sphere of reading because the motivation for the developing reading decreases with dominating «light», or leisure-time reading. The authors propose to improve the situation through cooperation of publishing activities of former autonomous republics and regions and/or by establishment of the specialized All-Russian publishing house «Friendship of Peoples» with appropriate resources.

Published: August 2024

The author analyzes the approaches to structuring open access resources (OAR). The study is aimed at increasing the efficiency of library information user services through integrating OAR into the system of science and education information support. Within the research project “Design of the model of scientific library operation within the open science ecosystem”, over 200 heterogeneous OAR were examined to conclude on the efficiency of the libraries’ user information support with OAR. The analysis of OAR features and navigation systems on the libraries’ websites, both foreign and national, enables to suggest approaches to OAR structuring by various characteristics, as well as structural options (with examples) depending on the content (subject), types of included documents, and national/ territorial affiliation. The efficient search in the increasing OAR flow is possible with building the systems of user interactive access to heterogeneous resources through the single access point, OAR integration into databases ofautomated library information systems; designing of OAR navigators (by various characteristics); introduction of alternative technological solutions. Access to OARs based on user information needs, organization of their efficient use make the tasks that would set up ‘new norms” of information library services.The study is accomplished within the framework of the RAS SB SPSTL research project “Design of the model of scientific library operation within the open science ecosystem” No. 122041100150-3 (2022–2026).

Introduction: Long-term imaging of live cells is commonly used for the study of dynamic cell behaviors. It is crucial to keep the cell viability during the investigation of physiological and biological processes by live cell imaging. Conventional incubators that providing stable temperature, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, and humidity are often incompatible with most imaging tools. Available commercial or custom-made stage-top incubators are bulky or unable to provide constant environmental conditions during long time culture.Methods: In this study, we reported the development of the microscope incubation system (MIS) that can be easily adapted to any inverted microscope stage. Incremental PID control algorithm was introduced to keep stable temperature and gas concentration of the system. Moreover, efficient translucent materials were applied for the top and bottom of the incubator which make it possible for images taken during culture.Results: The MIS could support cell viability comparable to standard incubators. When used in real time imaging, the MIS was able to trace single cell migration in scratch assay, T cell mediated tumor cells killing in co-culture assay, inflation-collapse and fusion of organoids in 3D culture. And the viability and drug responses of cells cultured in the MIS were able to be calculated by a label-free methods based on long term imaging.Discussion: We offer new insights into monitoring cell behaviors during long term culture by using the stage adapted MIS. This study illustrates that the newly developed MIS is a viable solution for long-term imaging during in vitro cell culture and demonstrates its potential in cell biology, cancer biology and drug discovery research where long-term real-time recording is required.

Published: August 2024

The extensive use of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive has caused serious environmental problems that need to be addressed urgently. The feasibility of remediation of MTBE-contaminated groundwater by ZSM-5 zeolite with SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 50/130/360 was explored. The SiO2/Al2O3 ratio had a great influence on the physicochemical properties and structure, as well as the adsorption and mass transfer of MTBE on ZSM-5. The adsorption of MTBE on zeolites with SiO2/Al2O3 ratios of 50 and 130/360 followed the Langmuir and Freundlich models, respectively, and was controlled by different mass transfer processes. The morphology and adsorption capacity of ZSM-5 (50) and ZSM-5 (130) differed significantly, while the differences between ZSM5-(130) and ZSM-5 (360) were less pronounced. ZSM-5 (360) had higher adsorption capacity and adsorption efficiency for MTBE, and the larger BET surface area, pore volume and stronger hydrophobicity were the key factors to promote MTBE adsorption. Compared to activated carbon (AC), ZSM-5 (360) was more effective for MTBE removal at low concentrations (≤200 mg·L−1) and had the advantage of selective adsorption of MTBE with the addition of BTEX. In column adsorption, decreasing the concentration had opposite effects on MTBE removal by ZSM-5 and AC. At 5–10 mg·L−1, ZSM-5 (360) column reduced effluent concentration and improved bed utilization and removal efficiency.
Are natural estrogens used in contraception at lower risk of venous thromboembolism than synthetic ones? A systematic literature review and meta-analysis

Published: August 2024

BackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant global health challenge, notably exacerbated by the use of combined oral contraceptives (COCs). Evidence mainly focuses on the type of progestogen used in COCs to establish the increased risk of VTE with less data assessed on the type of estrogen used. This meta-analysis aims to assess the risk of VTE associated with COCs containing synthetic estrogens like ethinylestradiol (EE) versus natural estrogens like estradiol (E2).MethodsA systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Literature searches were performed in December 2023 in MEDLINE and EMBASE to identify clinical studies comparing the VTE risk between COCs containing synthetic versus natural estrogens. Studies were selected through rigorous screening, and data extraction followed standardized protocols, with statistical analyses employing a random effects model.ResultsThe search yielded five relevant studies, involving over 560,000 women/time, demonstrating a significant 33% reduction in VTE risk among users of natural estrogen-based COCs compared to synthetic estrogen-based COCs (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.51–0.87). Stratification analyses using adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of the main observationnal studies showed a 49% reduced VTE risk of E2-based pills compared to EE in association with levonorgestrel.Discussion and conclusionDespite the longstanding use of EE-based COCs, emerging evidence supports a lower thrombotic risk associated with natural estrogens. This meta-analysis substantiates the lower VTE risk associated with natural estrogen-based COCs compared to synthetic alternatives, advocating for a re-evaluation of contraceptive guidelines to prioritize patient safety and reduce thrombotic risks.

BackgroundChromosome 16p13.11 microdeletion is a very rare copy number variant (CNV), associated with a clinical syndrome characterized by global development delay, neuropsychiatric conditions, facial dysmorphisms, microcephaly, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and congenital heart defects. The 16p13.11 locus is a very unstable genomic region, rich in low-copy number repeats, characterized by many homologous DNA sequences. Usually, the most common CNV of this region include microduplications/duplications, while the microdeletions are rare, and their clinical features are heterogeneous and poorly described so far.Case reportIn this paper, we report the genetic and the clinical features of a patient diagnosed with chromosome 16p13.11 microdeletion, and a short review of the literature on this topic. Our patient was characterized by several facial dysmorphic features, autistic symptoms and language development delay. The genetic evaluation revealed and interstitial deletion of the long arm of the chromosome 16, approximately of 1.5 Mb.ConclusionInterestingly, compared to previous cases, this patient was characterized by autistic symptoms, severe language and motor coordination disorder, without cognitive and cerebral malformations, frequently associated with this microdeletion syndrome.

IntroductionVisceral leishmaniasis (VL) is an important tropical and neglected disease and represents a serious global health problem. The initial interaction between the phagocytes and the parasite is crucial to determine the pathogen’s capacity to initiate infection and it shapes the subsequent immune response that will develop. While type-1 T-cells induce IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-12 production by monocytes/macrophages to fight the infection, type-2 T-cells are associated with a regulatory phenotype (IL-10 and TGF-β) and successful infection establishment. Recently, our group demonstrated the role of an important Th1/Th17 T-cell population, the mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, in VL. MAIT cells can respond to L. infantum by producing TNF-α and IFN-γ upon MR1-dependent activation.Objective and methodsHere, we describe the impact of the MR1-blockage on L. infantum internalization on the functional profile of circulating neutrophils and monocytes as well as the impact of the MR1-blockage on the soluble mediator signatures of in vitro whole blood cultures.ResultsOverall, our data showed that VL patients presents higher percentage of activated neutrophils than asymptomatic and non-infected controls. In addition, MR1 blockade led to lower TNF-α and TGF-β production by non-activated neutrophils from asymptomatic individuals. Moreover, TNF-α and IL-10 production by monocytes was higher in VL patients. In the analysis of soluble mediators produced in vitro, MR1-blockade induced a decrease of IFN-γ and an increase of IL-10, IL-27 and IL-33 in the cell cultures of AS group, a cytokine pattern associated with type 2 deleterious response.Discussion and conclusionThese data corroborate the hypothesis that MR1-restricted responses are associated to a protective role during Leishmania infection.
