Such a system may also group images for a die row on a specimen into different jobs based on color so that different jobs have different color value ranges. Such grouping may also be performed so that each of the jobs includes a number of images greater than a predetermined, minimum job size.

  • Publication number: 20240051975
    Abstract: The present invention provides a class of novel NAMPT enzyme agonist and preparation and use thereof, which has a structural formula as shown in formula I or formula II. The present invention screens the NAMPT agonist NAT from the chemical small molecule library, and the NAT exhibits a good cytoprotective effect and a good anti-neurodegeneration effect in animal models of neurodegeneration. We studied the binding of NAT to enzymes, and then carried out multiple rounds of structure optimization based on the chemical structure characteristics of NAT and its enzyme activity properties, and obtained a relatively defined structure-activity relationship. The present patent not only lays the foundation for developing innovative drugs for anti-aging and neurodegenerative diseases, but also theoretically provides a proof-of-concept that enhancing NAMPT enzyme activity plays an important role in neuroprotection.
