Vector gap solitons of spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate in honeycomb optical lattices.

The combination of the two hot topics of spin-orbit coupling and honeycomb lattices leads to the appearance of fascinating issues. In this paper, we investigate the existence and stability of vector gap solitons of spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates loaded in honeycomb optical lattices. The existence and stability of vector gap solitons are highly sensitive to the properties of interspin and intraspin atomic interaction.

Chlorogenic acid regulates the proliferation and migration of high-grade serous ovarian cancer cells through modulating the miR199a5p/DDR1 axis.

This study aimed to demonstrate that chlorogenic acid (CGA) has anticancer effects against ovarian cancer. The MTT assay was used to assess the optimum concentrations of CGA on the ovarian cancer cell lines OVCA433 and SKOV3, followed by the rate of apoptosis using Annexin V-FITC/PI. The mitochondrial membrane potential of ovarian tumour cells treated with CGA was evaluated using mitochondrial staining kits followed by Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence, and RT-PCR assays.

Stability analysis on dark solitons in quasi-1D Bose-Einstein condensate with three-body interactions.

The stability properties of dark solitons in quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) loaded in a Jacobian elliptic sine potential with three-body interactions are investigated theoretically. The solitons are obtained by the Newton-Conjugate Gradient method. A stationary cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived to describe the profiles of solitons via the multi-scale technique.

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is a major threat to female health worldwide. This study was performed to study the anticancer potential of sclareol and as a chemo-sensitizing agent against human cervical cancer cells along with evaluating its effects on apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. MATERIAL AND METHODS MTT assay was performed to check cell viability, morphological changes were observed through phase-contrast microscopy, DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining and TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling) assays were performed to evaluate apoptotic effects; MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) and cell cycle analysis were examined through flow cytometry.

Clinical observation on the treatment of post-cesarean hypogalactia by auricular points sticking-pressing.

Objective: To explore the effect of auricular points sticking-pressing (APSP) in treating post-cesarean hypogalactia (PCH).

Methods: A randomized, controlled, single-blinded clinical trial on 116 patients with PCH was carried out. They were equally assigned to the treatment group and the control group.
