Ferrostatin-1 reduces the inflammatory response of rheumatoid arthritis by decreasing the antigen presenting function of fibroblast-like synoviocytes by Xiaoying Zhu, Hanya Lu, Haonan Jia, Xuemin Wei, Jiawei Xue, Wenjing Li, Juan Zhang, Yanli Wang, Jingyao Yan, Haoyuan Sun, Yanlei Ge, Zhiyi Zhang

“…We cocultured RA-FLSs treated with ferroptosis drugs with selected CD8 + T cells to assess the effect of ferroptosis on the endogenous antigen-presenting function of RA-FLSs. Ferroptosis promoted the proliferation of CD8 + T cells and the release of the inflammatory factors Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), which enhanced the inflammatory effect. …”

Reduced kidney size and renal function of high-grade vesicoureteral reflux and intrarenal reflux in contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography by Hualin Yan, Cong Wu, Jiehong Zhou, Cairong Huang, Xue Ma, Yidong Huang, Lugang Huang, Juxian Liu

“…Furthermore, patients with high-grade VUR and IRR had reduced DMSA renal function (P = 0.015, P = 0.012, respectively), and patients with high-grade VUR had more DMSA scars (P = 0.027), compared with those without VUR or IRR.ConclusionOur study highlights that on ceVUS, the IRR degree was associated with the high-grade VUR, along with reductions in kidney size and renal function in patients with high-grade VUR and IRR.…”

LSOD-YOLOv8: Enhancing YOLOv8n with New Detection Head and Lightweight Module for Efficient Cigarette Detection by Yijie Huang, Huimin Ouyang, Xiaodong Miao

“…Next, we incorporate a P2 layer (Pyramid Pooling Layer 2) in the neck of YOLOv8, blending the concepts of shared convolutional information and independent batch normalization to design a P2-LSCSBD (P2 Layer-Lightweight Shared Convolutional and Batch Normalization-based Small Object Detection) detection head. Finally, we propose a new loss function, WIMIoU (Weighted Intersection over Union with Inner, Multi-scale, and Proposal-aware Optimization), by combining the ideas of WiseIoU (Wise Intersection over Union), InnerIoU (Inner Intersection over Union), and MPDIoU (Mean Pairwise Distance Intersection over Union), resulting in a significant accuracy improvement without any loss in performance. …”
