To investigate the value of single-source dual-energy spectral CT imaging in improving accuracy preoperative diagnosis lymph node metastasis thyroid carcinoma.Thirty-four carcinoma patients were enrolled and received scanning before thyroidectomy cervical dissection surgery. Iodine-based material decomposition (MD) images 101 sets monochromatic from 40 to 140 keV reconstructed after scans. The iodine concentrations (IC) nodes measured on MD was normalized that common carotid artery obtain...
High‐performance artificial muscle is always the pursuit of researchers for robotics. Herein, a bionic reported called “ExoMuscle” mimicking sarcomere in skeletal with bio‐inspired structure to contract “myofilaments” enabling mimic architecture such as parallel, fusiform, convergent, and pennation beyond performance muscle. The actuators excel various aspects compared including actuation stress (0.41–0.9 MPa), strain (50%), optimal length, velocity‐independence output, power density (10.94...
U2 (urotensin-2) is the most potent vasoconstrictor in mammals which involved cardiac remodelling, including hypertrophy and fibrosis. Although cellular mechanisms of U2-induced vasoconstriction have been extensively studied, signalling pathways TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor-β1) expression collagen synthesis remain unclear. In this study, we show that promoted ERK1/2 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2) activation neonatal fibroblasts. The production were significantly but not...
Wound healing refers to the process of skin and other tissues appear be broken or defective after one body suffers external force. Accelerating wound through use natural products isolated from plants microbes is a hot research topic. Tetrahydrocurcumin major in vivo colorless hydrogenated metabolites curcumin with superior anti-inflammatory properties. The poor bioavailability these curcuminoids limits their clinical applications. Preparation curcuminoids-loaded nanoparticles appropriate...
The position that a woman adopts during breastfeeding is important for both infant and maternal health; however, many women experience musculoskeletal pain due to poor posture breastfeeding, which known factor in low exclusive rates. Posture monitoring an effective intervention, but existing wearable devices do not consider the ergonomics of nursing mothers scenarios. In this study, underwear was developed with real-time feedback system using accelerometers flexible bending sensors targeting...
Understanding the deformation mechanism of conjugated polymers is essential for developing flexible or stretchable electronic devices. In this work, mechanical properties poly(3-dodecylthiophene) (P3DDT) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) are measured at different temperatures, underlying explored by using in situ X-ray scattering pole figure. It observed that modulus fracture strength P3DDT decrease with increasing stretching temperature. The elongation break exhibits a sharp increase when...
Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed and leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China. Rapid precise evaluation tumor tissue during lung surgery can reduce operative time improve negative-margin assessment, thus increasing disease-free overall survival rates. This study aimed to explore potential label-free multiphoton microscopy (MPM) for imaging adenocarcinoma tissues, detecting histopathological features, distinguishing between normal cancerous tissues. We showed that second...
Ebola is an emerging infectious disease caused by a deadly virus belonging to the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. Based on their geographical distribution, Ebolavirus has been classified into total five species so far, mainly Zaire, Sudan, Taï Forest, Bundibugyo and Reston. It important be able differentiate as they significantly differ in pathogenicity more than one can present area. We have developed one-step step-down RT-PCR detecting all with high sensitivity (1 copy of DNA, 10...
Abstract A new rat model of free muscle flap transfer is presented. Microvascular transplantation the cutaneous maximus performed at groin site, with anastomosis axillary vessels to appropriate femoral vessels. This has many useful attributes for experimental manip ulation. It a high success rate following transplantation, anatomy consistent, dissection straightforward, length pedicle relatively long (10 mm), repair are sufficient size (1.0‐1.35 mm diameter), and microsurgical procedure can...
Hydrodistillation was carried out from fresh leaves, air-dried leaves in shade, sun-dried frozen and salted leaves. It observed that shade the optimal choice for prolonging pre-processing storage with advantage of low cost simplicity. Nine different macroporous resins (DM-21, LS-305, LS-305A, HPD-100, D001CC, XAD-16, XAD-7HP, FPC3500 SK1B) were evaluated adsorption properties perillaldehyde hydrodistillation condensate Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton var. crispa f. viridis The influences...
This study investigated the use of heparinized and/or citrated whole blood as a perfusate for enhancing muscle tolerance to warm ischemia. Unilateral cutaneous trunci flaps were harvested from Sprague-Dawley rats and stored 10 hr at 22-24 degrees C prior transplantation groin. One group served non-perfused control. In three experimental groups, hand-perfused ex vivo with 1.0 ml heparinized, citrated, or autogenous physiological pressures. Perfusion was administered over 10-min period 5 into...
Fencing is a sport that places unique demands on the body due to its asymmetrical movements. As result of long-term training, shapes female fencers can differ from those non-athlete women, leading specific requirements for sportswear design. However, there lack research focusing anthropometry and their lower limb asymmetry, particularly in comparison with females. This study aims fill this gap by examining analyzing women using three-dimensional scanning technology. To achieve goal, seven...
Toenails play a great part in protecting toes and peripheral soft tissues, simultaneously playing cosmetic role. The ideal treatment should result functional aesthetic outcome.To describe novel, minimally invasive method to treat ingrown toenail.We retrospectively analyzed 436 lesions of 395 353 patients with mean age 26.0 ± 13.4 (range 10-55) from June 2014 March 2020 our department. A novel approach for partial matricectomy treating toenails was undergone. average follow-up time 27.5 2.8...
Background Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by variable degrees of periportal and malformation bile ducts. CHF generally accompanied variety conditions or syndromes with other organ involvement. Case summary We report 5-year-4-month-old Chinese boy congenital hypothyroidism (CH) diagnosed CHF. The patient was CH newborn screening test has since been taking levothyroxine. He developed normally without neurocognitive deficits. Abnormal...
Radioactive esophagitis is one of the most common complications in thoracic tumor radiotherapy, biological factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), miRNAs, and HIV infection may play key roles occurrence development radioactive esophagitis, they have become an active field protection areas radiotherapy. We can identify patients who cause esophageal high dose radiotherapy early possible, modify treatment plan to protect esophagus. Therefore are important clinical...
