Article Synopsis
- The study investigates AlScN, a new photonic material, for its potential in electro-optic phase shifting and modulation in integrated photonic devices.
- AlScN is compatible with CMOS technology, which could enable large-scale production of photonic modulators and shows improved optical nonlinearity compared to traditional AlN.
- Measurements of the electro-optic effect in AlScN-based devices revealed an electro-optic coefficient of around 750 V cm, but the response was less than anticipated, prompting a discussion on possible reasons and future developments in AlScN photonics.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly people. An imbalance in calcium ion homeostasis will contribute to chondrocyte apoptosis and ultimately lead to the progression of OA. Transient receptor potential channel 4 (TRPV4) is involved in the regulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis.

Methods: A total of 25182 hospitalized patients were enrolled, including 39 severe patients and 25143 non-severe patients.
Aim: To explore the risk factors of prolonged viral shedding time (VST) in critical/non-critical COVID-19 patients during hospitalization.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we enrolled 363 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted in a designated hospital during the COVID-19 outbreak in Nanjing Lukou International Airport. Patients were divided into critical (n = 54) and non-critical (n = 309) groups.
Objectives: To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant and explore the risk factors affecting the progression in a Fangcang hospital, Shanghai, China.
Methods: A total of 25,207 patients were retrospectively enrolled. We described the clinical characteristics and performed univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the risk factors for non-severe to severe COVID-19 or death.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers have developed an innovative five-wave mixing process by combining the existing three- and four-wave mixing effects within a single microcavity, overcoming the limitations of traditional dielectric materials.
- * The synthetic five-wave mixing process shows a more than 500-fold increase in photon-pair generation efficiency and highlights a new method for enhancing optical nonlinearity using structural engineering instead of relying solely on material properties.
Primary Cilia: A Cellular Regulator of Articular Cartilage Degeneration.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease that can cause pain and disability in adults. The main pathological characteristic of OA is cartilage degeneration, which is caused by chondrocyte apoptosis, cartilage matrix degradation, and inflammatory factor destruction. The current treatment for patients with OA focuses on delaying its progression, such as oral anti-inflammatory analgesics or injection of sodium gluconate into the joint cavity.

Methods: We enrolled 116 elderly COVID-19 patients linked to the COVID-19 outbreak in Nanjing Lukou international airport. We extracted three sessions of their CT data, including one upon admission (T1), one during the first 2 weeks when lung injury peaked (T2) and one on day 14 ± 2 (T3).
Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at Zusanli (ST 36) and Neiguan (PC 6) on stress responses of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.
Methods: A total of 40 patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery were randomized into conventional treatment group (control) and EA group (＝20 in each group). Patients of the EA group received conventional treatment (pre- and post-surgical fasting, measures for gastrointestinal decompression, parenteral nutrition support, and patient controlled analgesia pump, etc.

Objective: To evaluate the protective effect of Xuebijing injection against renal injury in patients with sepsis, and to explore its possible mechanism.
Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in which 62 severe patients with sepsis and septic shock admitted in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Jiangsu Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2013 to December 2013 were randomly divided into control group and Xuebijing group, with 31 patients in each group. The patients in both groups received basic treatment for sepsis, and the patients in Xuebijing group were additionally given intravenous injection of Xuebijing 100 mL once a day for 7 days.
