  • Patent number: 12343434
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a hybrid membrane camouflaged nanomedicine loaded with oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor and preparation method thereof. The nanomedicine comprises an inner core and an outer shell coated on the periphery of the inner core. The inner core is a ROS-responsive drug-loaded nanoparticle, and the drug loaded by the ROS-responsive nanocarrier is an oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor. The outer shell is a hybrid membrane of mitochondrial membrane and cancer cell membrane. The nanomedicines can cross the BBB and reach tumor sites by the homologous targeting of cancer cell membrane, and then they can homologously target and enter mitochondria by the mitochondrial membrane. Subsequently, under the high-level ROS environment of the mitochondria, the ROS responsive drug-loaded nanoparticle releases the oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor due to the swell and degradation of the inner core, so that the safe and efficient targeted GBM therapy is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20250014390
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a detection method for low-quality fake face images based on domain-invariant feature learning, including the following steps: S1, inputting datasets into a residual network (ResNet)-50, and forward propagating low-quality compressed input images and original images corresponding thereto; S2, obtaining high-frequency information of two datasets of different resolutions; and using the high-frequency information to compensate for features discarded in the compression process; and S3, performing T-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (T-SNE) operation on outputs from the ResNet-50 at a final stage to obtain feature distributions of a high-quality dataset and a low-quality dataset. Domain invariance is used for inscribing correct artificial artifact traces, alleviating the overfitting on low-quality compressed images.
