CONCLUSIONS: Higher LE8 and its subscales scores were inversely and nonlinearly linked with the lower presence of MUH. MUH is consistent with LE8 scores, which can be considered as an alternative indicator when it is difficult to collect the information of health behaviors.... Read more

CONCLUSION: Serum levels of sCD40L, MMP2, and MMP9, along with non-invasive and easily accessible indicators such as PI and RI in uterine artery blood flow measured by ultrasound, emerge as potential predictive markers for the outcome of recurrent miscarriage pregnancies. Moreover, these indicators can serve as valuable evaluation markers in... Read more

CONCLUSIONS: The plate-haptic IOL demonstrated excellent capsular adhesion compared to the loop-haptic IOL, which was probably attributed to haptic compressibility. A special cocked configuration of the capsular bend in plate-haptic IOL was observed for the first time. Further studies are warranted to confirm the effect of the new type of... Read more

In the field of tissue engineering, local hypoxia in large-cell structures (larger than 1 mm³) poses a significant challenge. Oxygen-releasing biomaterials supply an innovative solution through oxygen ⁠ delivery in a sustained and controlled manner. Compared to traditional methods such as emulsion, sonication, and agitation, microfluidic technology offers distinct benefits... Read more

We reported a late-pregnancy woman with pre-XDR PTB who had not received regular anti-tuberculosis treatment prior to delivery. Despite this, she successfully delivered a premature baby who exhibited normal growth and development, and subsequently completed her anti-tuberculosis treatment. This report suggests that delayed treatment for pre-XDR TB during late pregnancy... Read more

Colloidal quantum well (CQW) based light emitting diodes (LEDs) possess extra-high theoretical efficiency, but their performance still lags far behind conventional LEDs due to severe exciton quenching and unbalanced charge injection. Herein, we devised a gradient composition Cd(x)Zn(1-x)S shell to address these issues. The epitaxial shell with gradient composition was... Read more

Thrombocytopenia caused by long-term radiotherapy and chemotherapy exists in cancer treatment. Previous research demonstrates that 5-Hydroxtrayptamine (5-HT) and its receptors induce the formation of megakaryocytes (MKs) and platelets. However, the relationships between 5-HT1A receptor (5-HTR1A) and MKs is unclear so far. We screened and investigated the mechanism of vilazodone as... Read more
