Background Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) are one of the most common and severe symptoms schizophrenia, but neuroanatomical abnormalities underlying AVHs not well understood. The present study aims to investigate whether associated with cortical thinning. Methods Participants were schizophrenia patients from four centers across China, 115 93 without AVHs, as 261 healthy controls. All received 3 T T1-weighted brain scans, whole vertex-wise thickness was compared groups. Correlations...
Abstract Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a serious skin fibrotic disease characterized by excessive hypercellularity and extracellular matrix (ECM) component deposition. Autophagy tightly regulated physiological process essential for cellular maintenance, differentiation, development, homeostasis. Previous studies show that IL10 has potential therapeutic benefits in terms of preventing reducing HS formation. However, no have examined IL10-mediated autophagy during the pathological Here, we effect...
Bioelectronic medicine is a rapidly growing field where targeted electrical signals can act as an adjunct or alternative to drugs treat neurological disorders and diseases via stimulating the peripheral nervous system on demand. However, current existing strategies are limited by external battery requirements, injury inflammation caused mechanical mismatch between rigid electrodes soft nerves. Here we report wireless, leadless, battery-free ferroelectret implant, termed NeuroRing, that wraps...
Crops require water and fertilizers to grow. However, the shortage of freshwater limits regions where plants, especially crops, can be grown, misuse chemical imposes a burden on environment human health. This study develops self-sufficient system that passively capture produce plant nutrients from air through integration fog-to-water converter spark-type droplet-based electric generator. The proof-of-concept system, based large-scale 3D wedged spines, achieves conversion efficiency 35%...
This paper focuses power generation and nonlinear dynamic behaviors on a new bistable piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester. Three different kinds of piezoelectric cantilever beam structures, which include the monostable beam, with spring magnet, spring, coil, are designed. The efficiency for each structure experimentally studied, respectively. Due to introduced, system easily goes through potential barrier. Experimental results show that harvester can vibrate between two steady...
Schizophrenia has increasingly been considered a neurodevelopmental disorder, and the advancement of neuroimaging techniques associated computational methods enabled quantitative re-examination this important theory on pathogenesis disease. Inspired by previous findings from neonatal brains, we proposed that an increase in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) mean diffusivity (MD) should be observed cerebral cortex schizophrenia patients compared with healthy controls, corresponding...
The 2019-nCoV is ravaging the world, taking lots of lives, and it emergent to find a solution deal with this novel pneumonia. This paper provides potential treatment for COVID-19 utilizing resonance destroy infection ability 2019-nCoV. Firstly, geometry size scaled up by 10,000 times. additional mass used represent effect fluid around spike protein. finite element analysis (FEA) study modal characteristics tuned model mistuned in blood, respectively. Based on FEA, lumped parameter mechanical...
Aim: This study was to investigate the change of high-molecula-weight (HMW) adiponectin (APN) isoform, association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and HMW APN variation Disulfide-bond A oxidoreductase-like protein (DsbA-L), effect isoform on AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK) endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in Chinese T2DM. Method: 169 patients aged at (48.7±9.4) years 107 healthy control subjects (42.6±7.8) took part this study. Anthropometric measures characters were assayed...
Abstract Objective A new knock-in mouse adenocarcinoma prostate model (KIMAP) was established, which showed a close to human kinetics of tumour development. This study used histological grading system similar the Gleason and flow cytometry DNA analysis measure compare KIMAP with CaP transgenic (TGMAP) model. Methods According heterogeneity clinical standard for cancer diagnosis, scoring system, analogous established in this study. Sixty 48 TGMAP samples were measured compared CaP. Flow...
Objective: To explore the feasibility of applying quantitative analysis facial skin color to evaluate severity motion sickness objectively and seek objective indicators that can reflect sickness. Methods: Motion was induced in 51 male adult subjects recruited at Air Force Medical University by Coriolis acceleration stimulation, colorimetric values were acquired using a portable spectrophotometer five time points: before stimulation 0 min, 10 20 min 30 after end stimulation. The Graybiel...
