Abstract: Disclosed are a method for preparing a porcine-derived interferon-delta 5 (pIFN-?5) and an application of the pIFN-?5, where the method for preparing pIFN-?5 includes the following steps: step S1, obtaining a DNA fragment containing pIFN-?5 gene through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification by using the total RNA of pretreated porcine small intestinal epithelial cells IPEC-J2; step S2, inserting the DNA fragment containing pIFN-?5 gene into an exogenous expression vector to construct a recombinant expression vector for expressing the pIFN-?5 gene; and step S3, introducing the recombinant expression vector into a suitable host cell, and driving the host cell to express the pIFN-?5 gene to obtain the pIFN-?5. The recombinant pIFN-?5 protein is used to prepare drugs or preparations for inhibiting infection of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV) and porcine rotavirus (PRoV).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system (CMCT system) for improving spatial resolution imaging of CT systems. The systems and method can achieve improved spatial resolution while using CT X-ray dosage levels comparable to those currently used in practice. The system and method can be used for micro-tomography and/or micortomosynthesis of a local region and/or volume of interest in a patient head or another body part.

Abstract: An apparatus for computed tomography (CT) imaging of a cyclically moving organ includes a positional state monitor (24, 40) that monitors a positional state of the cyclically moving organ such as the heart. A cone-beam CT scanner (10) acquires image data at least within a plurality of time windows. Each time window is centered about an occurrence of a selected positional state of the organ. A window analyzer (38) selects a data segment within each time window such that the data segments combine to form a complete data set covering a selected angular range. A reconstruction processor (44) reconstructs the selected data segments into an image representation.
