Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Also, currently there is an absence of a good behavioral paradigm which mimics major depression so we hope to develop one by applying chronic stress through forced swimming test, together with clomipramine, to male wild-type mice. However, the results were not on par with our assumptions as we presumed that the mice will develop depression-like symptoms after 7 days of treatment and we also did not manage to generate the viral vectors. …”

Focused array analysis of diabetic skin wound. by Ling, Wei Yin.

“…To understand the interplay among these players behind angiogenesis and discover possible therapeutic targets, a focused array approach employing real-time quantitative PCR technique was used to unravel the differential gene molecular profiles in the healing of chronic diabetic mice wounds compared to that of normal wounds. In vivo analyses using wildtype (+/+) and diabetic (ob/ob) mice wounds revealed many angiogenic factors and inflammatory mediators with altered gene expression patterns and levels leading to the chronic inflamed state of diabetic wounds. …”

Wearable bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA) for spinal implants

“…Accordingly, herein, we report on the development and engineering of a bio-adhesive metal detector array (BioMDA), a potential wearable solution for real-time, non-invasive positional analyses of osseous implants within the spine. The electromagnetic coupling mechanism and intimate interfacial adhesion enable the precise sensing of the metallic implants position without the use of radiation. …”

Deep learning approach to cervical segmentation from routine CT images by Duan, Yiming

“…To address the sequential and location-dependent nature of bone segmen tation information, the dissertation proposes a pre-training model for location information, and combines 2.5D image input and labeled multi-channel coding to semantically segment 3D cervical spine CT images. This method can accu rately extract the information of bone joint location of slices and incorporate it into image features in the form of channels, which can improve the accuracy of multiple bone joint segmentation and classification. …”
