针对工厂中管道破损位置无法通过机器视觉准确判断的问题,提出一种基于自适应阈值分割改进Canny算子的管道边缘检测方法。该方法从滤波方式、梯度方向以及阈值分割角度对采集图像进行处理,首先采用采样-自适应中值滤波+双边滤波代替传统Canny算子中的高斯滤波,减少图像边缘信息丢失并去除图像中的噪声,然后增加梯度幅值的计算来更好地检测不同方向的边缘信息,最后为避免人工选取阈值效果不佳的情况,采用最大类间方差 (OTSU)阈值分割算 法进行阈值的自适应选取。实验表明,该方法相比于传统Canny算子的图像信噪比提升28.22%,边缘点数提升39.97%,四连通道数提升11.52%,八连通道数提升5.92%,提取特征完整且连续性较好,实现了对管道图像中破损情况的有效检测。

Compositions and Biological Activities of Pomegranate Peel Polyphenols Extracted by Different Solvents

Pomegranate peel extract (PPE), which is abundant in polyphenols, holds immerse prospects for the treatment of airway infection. In this study, water and ethanol of 30%, 50%, and 80% were used to prepare PPE. A total of 18 phenols belonging to 8 categories of polyphenols were identified in PPE by HPLC-MS/MS. The PPE from the four extraction solvents possessed different antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. Principal component analysis revealed that though total flavonoids (TFs), total polyphenols (TPs), and total tannins (TTs) were responsible for the reducing power of PPE, only TFs contributed to the effect of PPE in inhibiting lipid membrane peroxidation. TPs, TTs, and punicalagin were positively correlated with the antibacterial strength against S. aureus while TTs alone contributed to the inhibition of methicillin-resistant S. aureus, implying the crucial role of TT in suppressing bacteria. Meanwhile, TTs was associated with the prevention of IL-6 release. The PPE with higher contents of TPs, TTs, and punicalagin had a weaker capacity to decrease nitric oxide secretion. PPE of 30% ethanol gained the highest integrated score due to its stronger antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities. It is a suitable candidate for the therapy of respiratory tract infection.     

Cardiac-specific overexpression of Ndufs1 ameliorates cardiac dysfunction after myocardial infarction by alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis

Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of premature death among adults. Cardiomyocyte death and dysfunction of the remaining viable cardiomyocytes are the main pathological factors of heart failure after MI. Mitochondrial complexes are emerging as critical mediators for the regulation of cardiomyocyte function. However, the precise roles of mitochondrial complex subunits in heart failure after MI remain unclear. Here, we show that NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S1 (Ndufs1) expression is decreased in the hearts of heart failure patients and mice with myocardial infarction. Furthermore, we found that cardiac-specific Ndufs1 overexpression alleviates cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis in the healing phase of MI. Our results demonstrated that Ndufs1 overexpression alleviates MI/hypoxia-induced ROS production and ROS-related apoptosis. Moreover, upregulation of Ndufs1 expression improved the reduced activity of complex I and impaired mitochondrial respiratory function caused by MI/hypoxia. Given that mitochondrial function and cardiomyocyte apoptosis are closely related to heart failure after MI, the results of this study suggest that targeting Ndufs1 may be a potential therapeutic strategy to improve cardiac function in patients with heart failure.Subject terms: Heart failure, Myocardial infarction, Myocardial infarction     

A high-precision and 10 bit two-step Time-to-Digital Converter for TOF application

A two-step high-precision Time-to-Digital Converter(TDC), integrated with a Single-Photon Avalanche Diode(SPAD), used for Time-Of-Flight(TOF) application, has been developed and tested. Time interval measurement is performed by the coarse counter and fine interpolator, which are utilized to measure the total periods and the residue time of the reference clock, respectively. Following a detail analysis of time precision and clock jitter in the two-step structure, the prototype TDC fabricated in GSMC 1P6M 0.18 μm CMOS Image Sensor(CIS) technology exhibits a Single-Shot Precision(SSP) of 11.415 ps and a dynamic range of 216.7 ns. In addition, a pixel of the chip occupies 100 μm×100 μm, and the measured Integral Nonlinearity(INL) and Differential Nonlinearity(DNL) are better than ±0.88 LSB and ±0.67 LSB, respectively. Meanwhile, the overall power consumption of the chip is 35 mW at 1.8 V power supply. Combined with these characteristics, the designed chip is suitable for TOF-based ranging applications.
