Fecal microbiota transplantation alleviates cognitive impairment by improving gut microbiome composition and barrier function in male rats of traumatic brain injury following gas e... by Xinwen Dong, Yaguang Su, Zheng Luo, Cuiying Li, Jie Gao, Xiaofeng Han, Sanqiao Yao, Weidong Wu, Linqiang Tian, Yichun Bai, Guizhi Wang, Wenjie Ren

“…BackgroundDysbiosis of gut microbiota (GM) is intricately linked with cognitive impairment and the incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in both animal models and human subjects. However, there is limited understanding of the impact and mechanisms of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on brain and gut barrier function in the treatment of TBI induced by gas explosion (GE).MethodsWe have employed FMT technology to establish models of gut microbiota dysbiosis in male rats, and subsequently conducted non-targeted metabolomics and microbiota diversity analysis to explore the bacteria with potential functional roles.ResultsHematoxylin–eosin and transmission electron microscopy revealed that GE induced significant pathological damage and inflammation responses, as well as varying degrees of mitochondrial impairment in neuronal cells in the brains of rats, which was associated with cognitive decline. …”

Research on the generation and annotation method of thin section images of tight oil reservoir based on deep learning by Tao Liu, Zongbao Liu, Kejia Zhang, Chunsheng Li, Yan Zhang, Zihao Mu, Mengning Mu, Mengting Xu, Yue Zhang, Xue Li

“…However, the difficulty of making cast thin sections, the complexity of the making process and the high cost of thin section annotation have led to a lack of cast thin section images, which cannot meet the training requirements of deep learning image recognition models. In order to increase the sample size and improve the training effect of deep learning model, we proposed a generation and annotation method of thin section images of tight oil reservoir based on deep learning, by taking Fuyu reservoir in Sanzhao Sag as the target area. …”
