An effective approach by the way of coarse-to-fine 3D building model generation by integration of LIDAR and multiple overlap images is proposed. Classification and segmentation can be processed by combined multi-spectral information which is provided by color aerial image and geometric information from multi-return laser scanned data. A connected graph of the segment label image has to be created to derive the neighborhood relation of the planar segments. A line segment matching, based on geometry and chromatic constraint, is applied for automatically getting the corresponding line features in multi target images. Hypotheses for polyhedral surfaces are selected using topological relations and verified using geometry.

However, in the human placenta, estrogen is formed using dehydroepiandrosterone from the fetal adrenal glands rather than progesterone as precursor. Although aromatization of dehydroepiandrosterone is crucial in estrogen synthesis in human placenta, it is not known whether glucocorticoids affect aromatase expression. Human term placental syncytiotrophoblasts were used to examine the effect of cortisol on aromatase expression. The signaling pathway and transcription factors involved were identified in this study. Results showed that cortisol induced aromatase expression in a concentration-dependent manner, which was mediated indirectly by glucocorticoid receptor and required the participation of other proteins. The induction of aromatase by cortisol could be blocked by either specificity protein 1 (Sp1) antagonist mithramycin or knockdown of Sp1 expression. The induction of aromatase and Sp1 by cortisol could be prevented by inhibitors of the cAMP pathway, whereas activators of the cAMP pathway induced Sp1 and aromatase expression as well as Sp1 binding to aromatase promoter. Concomitantly, cortisol treatment and activation of the cAMP pathway led to increased acetylation and decreased methylation of histone 3 at the aromatase promoter. In conclusion, cortisol stimulates aromatase expression through the cAMP/Sp1 pathway in human placental syncytiotrophoblasts. These findings reveal a novel role of cortisol in increasing the local level of estrogen within the placenta that would help transform the myometrium to a contractile state, thereby contributing to a cascade of events leading to human parturition.

Developmental exposure to BPA is known to be associated with liver dysfunction and diseases, such as hepatic steatosis, liver tumors, metabolic syndrome, and altered hepatic gene expression, and DNA methylation profiles. However, the effects of BPA on rodent liver development are unknown. The present study was undertaken to address this important question using the mouse as an experimental model. Pregnant mice were exposed to BPA via diet from embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5) to E18.5. At E18.5, fetal livers were collected, and analyzed for changes in the expression of key hepatocyte maturation markers. We found the following significant alterations in BPA-exposed female but not male fetal livers: (a) levels of the mature hepatocyte markers, albumin and glycogen synthase proteins, were decreased (-65% and -40%, respectively); (b) levels of the immature hepatocyte marker, α-fetoprotein, were increased (+43%); (c) the level of C/EBP-α protein, the master transcription factor essential for hepatocyte maturation, was down-regulated (-50%); and (d) the level of PCNA protein (marker of proliferation) was elevated (+40%), while that of caspase-3 protein and activity (markers of apoptosis) was reduced (-40% and -55%, respectively), suggestive of a perturbed balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis in BPA-exposed female fetuses. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that prenatal exposure to BPA disrupts the mouse fetal liver maturation in a sex-specific manner, and suggest a fetal origin for BPA-induced hepatic dysfunction and diseases.
