Background: PCV13 introduction in China has led to a significant reduction of vaccine serotype . However, non-vaccine serotypes with highly resistance and invasiveness were often reported in the post-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine era and there was regional differences.

Methods: A total of 669 strains were collected from the respiratory tracts of hospitalized children at Shenzhen Children's Hospital in 2021 and 2022.

Objective: Conventional treatments for alleviating the symptoms of Overactive bladder (OAB) have been reported to have limited efficacy and a high rate of side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used in Asia countries because of its low side effects and being easy to operate. To confirm the efficacy of acupoint application treatment for alleviating OAB symptoms, a randomized and placebo-controlled pilot trial was conducted in this study.

Multiple objectives optimization of frequency selective surface (FSS) structures is challenging in electromagnetic wave filter design. For example, one of the sub-objectives, the sidelobe level (SLL), is critical to directional anti-interference, which is complicated and becomes the bottleneck for radar design. Here, we established a dynamic algorithm for fitness function to automatically adjust the weights of multiple objectives in the optimization process of FSS structures.

To meet the rapid development of wearable flexible electronics, the multifunctional integrations into singe device are in extreme demand. In this paper, we developed novel self-powering multifunctional pressure sensors and supercapacitor-integrated device based on highly elastic silver nanowires@reduced graphene aerogel, being conductive to reduce integration difficulties and device size. Serving as an energy device, it behaves with a prominent specific capacitance of 146.

To meet the requirement of indoor R/G/B monochrome illumination a simplified OLEDs structure and fabrication process must occur. Herein, a design philosophy of low efficiency roll-off and simple-structure OLEDs incorporating R/G/B phosphorescent ultrathin non-doped emissive layers (EMLs) within non-exciplex forming interfaces a luminescent system by a direct charge trapping mechanism has been reported, which uses bis(2-methyldibenzo[f,h]-quinoxaline)(acetylacetonate)iridium(III) (MDQ)Ir(acac), bis(3-phenylpyridin-e)iridium(III) (Ir(ppy)), and bis(3,5-difluoro-2 -(2-pyridyl)phenyl-(2-carboxypyridyl) iridiumII) (Firpic) as R/G/B luminescent dyes, respectively. Although the recombination zone is narrow in the designed OLEDs, the efficiency roll-off of the designed OLEDs are unexpectedly slow, due to stable charge trapping of the emitters and are refrained from concentration quenching in relatively low current density, but the luminance meets the requirement of indoor lighting.

Background: The phenotypes and genotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPDs) were changing all the time. To monitor these changes of phenotypes and genotypes of S. pneumoniae isolates from children, we examined antibiotic susceptibility, serotype distribution and sequence types (STs) of S.

Article Synopsis
  • Major depressive disorder (MDD) is complex and can be classified into different subtypes. This study aimed to see if metabolomic variables could distinguish between these types in relation to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
  • A total of 50 patients with recurrent depression were analyzed, split into two TCM subtypes (Liver Qi Stagnation and Heart and Spleen Deficiency), with healthy volunteers as controls, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to assess their metabolic profiles.
  • The findings revealed distinct metabolomic profiles for each TCM subtype compared to healthy controls, with specific differences in amino acids and energy metabolism, indicating that the LQS subtype may be linked to unique pathophysiological processes and potential biomarkers for tailored antidepressant therapies

Phytohormones play crucial roles in fruit set regulation and development. Here, gibberellins (GA), but not GA, induced pear parthenocarpy. To systematically investigate the changes upon GA induced pear parthenocarpy, dynamic changes in histology, hormone and transcript levels were observed and identified in unpollinated, pollinated and GA-treated ovaries.
