Differences in the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and median nerve electrical stimulation in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness after intracerebral hemorrhage: a randomized controlled trial protocol.

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and median nerve electrical stimulation (MNES) are two non-invasive neuromodulation techniques that have demonstrated potential in facilitating the recovery of consciousness in patients with impaired consciousness. However, existing studies on awakening interventions for patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) following intracerebral hemorrhage remains limited. In particular, systematic comparisons of the efficacy of rTMS versus MNES in this specific patient population are lacking.

Proteomic analysis of the follicular fluid of Tianzhu white yak during diestrus.

The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed proteins in the follicular fluid of Tianzhu white yak during diestrus. Follicles obtained from female yak were divided into four groups according to their diameter: 0-2, 2-4, 4-6 mm, and greater than 6 mm. The follicular fluid was directly aspirated from the follicles and mixed according to follicular size, and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was carried out on the crude follicular fluid samples.
