Volatile Resistive Switching and Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity in a Ferroelectric-Modulated SrFeO Memristor.

SrFeO (SFO) offers a topotactic phase transformation between an insulating brownmillerite SrFeO (BM-SFO) phase and a conductive perovskite SrFeO (PV-SFO) phase, making it a competitive candidate for use in resistive memory and neuromorphic computing. However, most of existing SFO-based memristors are nonvolatile devices which struggle to achieve short-term synaptic plasticity (STP). To address this issue and realize STP, we propose to leverage ferroelectric polarization to effectively draw ions across the interface so that the PV-SFO conductive filaments (CFs) can be ruptured in absence of an external field.

In situ training of an in-sensor artificial neural network based on ferroelectric photosensors.

In-sensor computing has emerged as an ultrafast and low-power technique for next-generation machine vision. However, in situ training of in-sensor computing systems remains challenging due to the demands for both high-performance devices and efficient programming schemes. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the in situ training of an in-sensor artificial neural network (ANN) based on ferroelectric photosensors (FE-PSs).

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in middle ear: A case report.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a common disease in developing countries, among which middle ear TB is rare. Furthermore, it is relatively difficult to make an early diagnosis and provide follow-up treatment for middle ear TB. So, it is necessary to report this case for reference and further discussion.

ISX-9 potentiates CaMKIIδ-mediated BMAL1 activation to enhance circadian amplitude.

Circadian dysregulation associates with numerous diseases including metabolic dysfunction, sleep disorder, depression and aging. Given that declined circadian amplitude is a trait commonly found with compromised health, interventions that design in precluding circadian amplitude from dampening will aid to mitigate complex, circadian-related diseases. Here we identify a neurogenic small molecule ISX-9 that is able to support persistent and higher amplitude of circadian oscillations.

Clinical characteristics and prognostic analysis of multiple primary malignant neoplasms in female patients with breast cancer or genitalia malignancies.

Background: As public awareness of health has increased and diagnostic and treatment options have improved, the survival of patients with malignant tumors has continued to extend, and the population has been aging, the number of multiple primary malignant neoplasms has gradually increased in recent years. There are few reports concerning female patients with multiple primary malignant neoplasms of breast cancer or genitalia malignancies. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of multiple primary malignant neoplasms in female patients with breast cancer or genitalia malignancies, as well as further explore the factors that affect the survival.

Application of 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated Waterlase-assisted photodynamic therapy in the treatment of oral leukoplakia.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative microinvasive approach with satisfying results in the treatment of oral leukoplakia (OL). PDT combined with laser irradiation shows promise, safety and efficacy in treating OL. The efficacy of waterlase (YSGG) combined with PDT was studied by brush and tissue biopsy.

CDK9 modulates circadian clock by attenuating REV-ERBα activity.

Circadian clock and cell cycle are vital cellular programs acting in a timely-regulated, cyclic manner. The two cellular oscillators are coupled in various ways to facilitate biological processes. Here we report CDK9, a kinase belongs to the CDK family in regulating cell cycle and RNA Pol II activity, can serve as a modulator for circadian clock.
