Lead toxicity has been proved to be related with inducing oxidative stress of organisms and causing inactivation antioxidant enzymes, the mechanism which remains unknown. This study investigated compared superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) activity inhibited in lead-treated zebrafish livers explored SOD by lead at molecular level using multiple spectroscopic techniques, isothermal titration calorimetric (ITC) measurement, docking ICP–AES detection. Results showed exposure decreased activities...

Cruise ships are large and complex, it is difficult to manually make a plan evacuate people safe areas in short time. Evacuation time personnel safety both important for emergency evacuation. This paper proposes an evacuation strategy that considers the path capacity risk level guide evacuees fire; not only ensures of on dangerous paths but also reduces road congestion shorten High crowd density means slow moving speed, exponential function including straight stairs speed characteristics...

Obesity and related target organ damage such as high carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in children is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) later life. However, the asso-ciation between gut microbiota obesity combined cIMT among remains unclear. Therefore, we compared differences composition, community diversity, richness of normal or without to identify differential biomarkers.A total 24 (OB+high-cIMT), but (OB+non-high cIMT), weight aged 10-11 years matched by age sex from...

To develop a novel ultrasound (US) plane to diagnose palatine tonsillar hypertrophy objectively in children.Tonsillar ultrasonography of children (age 2-14 years) who had clinical diagnosis or not were analyzed retrospectively. Clinical data (including gender, age, body mass index (BMI)), and volume (V) tonsils measured by the US, recorded. Furthermore, we found new US named it submental oblique cross-section. In this plane, diameters left tonsil, right central oropharynx designated as T1,...

Abstract Background High carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in childhood, usually combined with obesity, is an early predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later life. However, the association between gut microbiota and high cIMT among children obesity remains unclear. Therefore, we compared differences composition, community diversity, richness (OB + high-cIMT), but normal non-cIMT), weight (i.e., children) to identify differential biomarkers. Methods A total 24 OB high-cIMT children,...

Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based emotion recognition has been widely used in affective computing. However, the study on improving accuracy across individuals is insufficient. In this study, a new linear domain adaption approach with experiment-level batch normalization and single-layer depthwise convolutional neural network proposed. particular, can be integrated as mapping scaling parameter translation parameter. By mapping, difference between subjects different effectively diminished,...
