In order to plan suitable navigation operation paths for the characteristics of rice fields in middle and lower reaches Yangtze River operational requirements straw rotary burying, this paper proposes a combination Hough matrix RANSAC algorithms extract starting routes boundaries; algorithm adopts characteristic points boundaries remove redundancies, then reduces influence noise caused by different shapes using improve accuracy route extraction. The extracts removes so as extraction test...

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the major cause of vision loss in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). The purpose this study was to assess prevalence DR and DME a community China analyze characteristics their optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. This an incidence survey based on data from 108,132 residents living Beixinjing District, Shanghai, China. Patients came local health network. OCT performed 151 eyes 100 type 2 diabetes 102 normal control subjects. Totally 795 cases were...

Abstract Background Chronic ankle instability is a common sports injury that often presents with increased plantarflexion and restricted dorsiflexion. The cumulative effect of peripheral injuries may induce neuroplasticity in the central nervous system. However, relationship between dorsiflexion or system patients chronic remains unknown. Questions/purposes (1) Is there difference region voxel (volume pixel) cortical activation during control group normal function? (2) correlation...

Attachment of conceptus to the endometrial luminal epithelium (LE) is a critical event for early placentation in Eutheria. Since attachment occurs at particular site within uterus, coordinated communication between three spatially distinct compartments (conceptus and LE from two anatomical regions uterus which attaches does not attach) essential but remains be fully characterized. Using laser capture microdissection (LCM) technique, we firstly developed an approach that can allow us pair pig...

SPECIFIC AIMSFenfluramine (l-Fen) and its dextro-rotary stereoisomer dexfenfluramine (d-Fen) have been used extensively as appetite suppressants associated with the development of bot...

To examine whether environmental interventions, student awareness and parents' model roles are associated with the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), a randomized controlled trial was conducted among Chinese schoolchildren. A multi-stage cluster random sampling method applied to select four primary schools, two in urban areas rural areas, Nanjing, eastern China. Classes third grade selected schools were randomly assigned intervention group control group. Among students those...

This study assesses the enduring impact of combined school- and family-based interventions on reducing consumption sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) among schoolchildren in China. Two primary schools were assigned at random to either Intervention Group or Control Group, Nanjing, eastern All students grade three received an invitation participate. In first year, one-year intervention measures, including monthly monitoring, aiming decrease SSBs. Students only regular monitoring without...

Atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) have a wide range of industrial applications, generally exhibiting either filamentary or diffuse (i.e. glow) discharges. The focus this investigation is on the formation mechanisms discharge current pulse width, order tens microseconds, accompanied by light source formation, which called (LS) mode in air DBDs at atmospheric pressure. From macroscopic point view, characteristics LS are similar with those glow mode. optical and...

The myometrium is the outer layer of uterus. Its contraction and steroidogenic activities are required for embryo implantation. However, molecular mechanisms underlying its functions remain unknown in pigs. includes inner circular muscle (CM) longitudinal (LM) layers. In this study, we collected CM LM samples from mesometrial side (named M) uterus on days 12 (pre-implantation stage) 15 (implantation pregnancy day estrous cycle. transcriptomic results revealed distinct differences between...

Tiliroside, as a dietary flavonoid, has great potential in preventing or treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, research on tiliroside metabolism remains unclear, limiting its further utilization healthcare. Herein, we explored the hepatoprotective effect of and performed an UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap/MS-based set experiments to identify metabolites metabolic pathways human hepatocytes. Results showed that can exert antioxidant activity protect against palmitic acid...

<title>Abstract</title> Introduction Endophthalmitis is a severe, vision-threatening intraocular infection that may follow various ophthalmic surgeries, with varying microbial etiologies. Abiotrophia defectiva, less commonly implicated pathogen, better recognized for its association endocarditis rather than infections. Case presentation A 50-year-old man was diagnosed endophthalmitis after trabeculectomy open-angle glaucoma. In the outpatient clinic, he had visual acuity of 20/160,...

A dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) lamp is investigated by using sinusoidal power with a 10 kHz frequency in open air at atmospheric pressure. With increasing applied voltages, the different phenomena appear. At relatively low states are general stochastic filamentary discharges weak light. However, high walls of quartz tubes heated sharply plasma, and then dazzling light emitted very quickly to form DBD Lamp, corresponding maintaining voltage that lower than ignited voltage. The state or...

To examine whether reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is associated with reduced body mass index z-score gain among Chinese schoolchildren in Nanjing, China, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted four selected primary schools from September 2019 to 2020. Students the third grade Intervention Group received school-based and home-based interventions for two consecutive semesters reduce SSB consumption, while Control did not receive any interventions. Weight changes...

Adaptive Optics (AO) technology has been used in confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopes (CSLO) which are analogous to microscopes (CSLM) with advantages of real-time imaging, increased image contrast, a resistance degradation by scattered light, and improved optical sectioning. With AO, the instrumenteye system can have low enough aberrations for quality be limited primarily diffraction. Diffraction-limited, high resolution imaging would beneficial understanding early detection eye diseases...
