A new report from the South China University of Technology discusses the importance of detecting high levels of copper (Cu) in the human body, which can lead to kidney dysfunction, liver cirrhosis, and neurological diseases like Wilson's disease (WD). The researchers developed a portable smartphone-assisted device that uses nanomaterial-modified paper to detect Cu in urine samples. The device, called a novel paper-based analytical device (nPAD), can complete Cu detection in 20 minutes with a low limit of detection. The researchers believe that this device has potential for clinical applications and environmental monitoring. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers at Southern Medical University in Guangdong, China, has developed a new method for magnetic resonance electrical property tomography (MREPT) using physics-informed neural networks. MREPT is a noninvasive technique that can determine the electrical properties of tissues from measured radiofrequency signals in MRI systems. The researchers proposed a model-driven method that uses fully connected networks to learn the mapping from measured radiofrequency signals to electrical properties. The method was tested using a three-dimensional head model, digital phantom simulation, and a practical phantom experiment. The research provides a novel approach to MREPT and has potential applications in medical imaging. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences have conducted a study on the potential use of calcium-chelating peptides and peptide-calcium complexes derived from blue food proteins as dietary calcium supplements. The study found that these peptides have the ability to improve the bioavailability of calcium and enhance bone health. The research provides valuable insights into the utilization of these peptides as dietary calcium supplements. The study was funded by various organizations including the National Key R&D Program of China and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers at Southern Medical University in Guangdong, China, aimed to investigate the association between anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) degeneration and the development of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The study found that ACL signal intensity alteration, which reflects ACL degeneration, was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident KOA over a four-year period. However, ACL volume was not found to be significantly associated with incident KOA. The findings suggest that future research should focus on ACL degeneration rather than ACL integrity in understanding the progression of KOA. [Extracted from the article]
