Electroencephalography (EEG) microstate analysis is a neuroimaging analytical method that has received considerable attention in recent years and is widely used for analysing EEG signals. EEG is easily influenced by internal and external factors, which can affect the repeatability and stability of EEG microstate analysis. However, there have been few reports and publicly available datasets on the repeatability of EEG microstate analysis.

In the analysis of abnormal karyotype of lymphoma patients, three smallest overlap regions were found, in which MYCT1 was located. MYCT1 is the first tumor suppressor gene cloned by our research team, but its studies relating to the occurrence and development of lymphoma have not been reported.

The harmful bacteria with the greatest clinical isolation rate are Staphylococcus aureus. As a result, bacterial mastitis in dairy cows can lead to decreased milk output, quality, and costs.

Unfortunately, traditional antibiotic treatment has resulted in the emergence of drug-resistant strains of bacteria, making this disease more difficult to treat. Therefore, novel lipopeptide antibiotics are becoming increasingly important in treating bacterial diseases, and developing novel antibiotics is critical in controlling mastitis in dairy cows.

Surgical excision is the only effective treatment. The osteolytic destruction of the tumour severely affects limb function and carries the risk of distant metastasis.

The traditional antibiotic treatment method is easy to cause the emergence of resistant strains, and the problem of drug residue is increasingly severe. In this study, we designed and synthesized five lipopeptides.

Herein, we design a glutathione (GSH)/pH dual-responsive nanoprobe capable of both fluorescence imaging in cells and F magnetic resonance imaging (F MRI) in deep tissue, by encapsulating manganese oleate (Mn(OA)) on the surface of fluorinated fluorescent quantum dots (F-ZnS:Mn). In this approach, Mn(OA) serves as an efficient quencher of both fluorescence and F MRI signal.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 32 normal subjects (32 eyes) and 35 AMD patients (35 eyes) were recruited. They were categorized into 4 groups: normal, dry AMD, non-active wet AMD, and active wet AMD.
The clinical efficiency of cisplatin against ovarian cancer is often limited by the development of drug resistance. In this work, we investigated PEGylated liposomal quercetin (Lipo-Que) on cisplatin-sensitive (A2780s) and cisplatin-resistant (A2780cp) human ovarian cancer models in vitro and in vivo to reveal whether a cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer has susceptibility to quercetin (Que) and the mechanism of its antitumor activity. Lipo-Que was prepared using a solid dispersion method, and the obtained Lipo-Que is monodisperse with a mean diameter of 163 +/-10 nm.
