Cancer, accounts for around 10 million deaths annually, is the second leading cause of death
globally. The continuous emergency of drug-resistant cancers and the low specificity of anticancer
agents are the main challenges in the control and eradication of cancers, so it is imperative to develop
novel anticancer agents. Immense efforts have been made in developing new lead compounds and novel
chemotherapeutic strategies for the treatment of various forms of cancers in recent years. β-Lactam derivatives
constitute versatile and attractive scaffolds for the drug discovery since these kinds of compounds
possess a variety of pharmacological properties, and some of them exhibited promising potency
against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cancer cell lines. Thus, β-lactam moiety is a useful template
for the development of novel anticancer agents. This review will provide an overview of β-lactam
derivatives with the potential therapeutic application for the treatment of cancers covering articles published
between 2000 and 2020. The mechanisms of action, the critical aspects of design and structureactivity
relationships are also discussed.
To improve the diagnostic efficiency and accuracy of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to study the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in COVID-19 diagnosis and public health management, the computer tomography (CT) image data of 200 COVID-19 patients are collected, and the image is input into the AI auxiliary diagnosis software based on the deep learning model, "uAI the COVID-19 intelligent auxiliary analysis system", for focus detection. The software automatically carries on the pneumonia focus identification and the mark in batches, and automatically calculates the lesion volume. The result shows that the CT manifestations of the patients are mainly involved in multiple lobes, and in density, the most common shadow is the ground glass opacity. The detection rate of manual detection method is 95.30%, misdiagnosis rate is 0.20% and missed diagnosis rate is 4.50%; the detection rate of AI software focus detection method based on deep learning model is 99.76%, the misdiagnosis rate is 0.08%, and the missed diagnosis rate is 0.08%. Therefore, it can effectively identify COVID-19 focus and provide relevant data information of focus to provide objective data support for COVID-19 diagnosis and public health management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
