Sleep and circadian rhythm disturbance in kidney stone disease: a narrative review.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- The circadian rhythm is like an internal clock in our bodies that helps control many important functions, and it helps us adapt to changes in our environment.
- When this internal clock gets messed up, it can cause health problems, including kidney stones.
- Researchers found links between disrupted circadian rhythms and kidney stone disease, but they still need to study exactly how they are connected and are looking into treatments that can help.
Article Synopsis
- Research on using upper limb motion to control prosthetic hands is focused on matching user intentions with action recognition.
- The study employs a wearable inertial sensor to capture data on angle and angular velocity, and uses the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm to classify actions like putting on socks and shoes.
- The recognition model achieves a high accuracy of 99.46% with low processing time, and the Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) further enhances the control by interpreting grasping intentions through motion state analysis.
Introduction: Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used herbicide which is inexpensive and easily accessible for people in rural areas. A small amount of PQ ingestion could be lethal, yet currently, the optimal treatment is still controversial. Extracorporeal therapies (ECTR) have been practised in PQ poisoning management, though limited evidence could be obtained to suggest its superiority over conservative therapy.

Methods: SD rats were divided into normal, control liquid diet, ethanol liquid diet and ethanol liquid diet plus Jianpi Huoxue Decoction group. Rats were administrated with Jianpi Huoxue Decoction or distilled water via gastrogavage for 4 weeks after administration with ethanol or control liquid diet for 2 weeks respectively.
Objective: To study the intervention effects of Jianpi Liqi Huoxue Decoction ( JLHD) on lipid peroxidative liver injury induced by alcohol.
Methods: The rat alcoholic model of liver disease (ALD) induced by Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet was established. Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the normal group (n =5), the control group (n =9), the model group (n =9) and the JLHD group (n =9).

Objective: Duplicating the classical alcoholic hepatic injury model, to provide an ideal animal model for research on prevention and treatment of hepatic injury.
Methods: According to the prescription of Lieber-DeCarli, the same calorie fluid animal feed, which contained ethanol or non-ethanol, was prepared. Twenty-three rats were divided into normal control group (n=5), control liquid diet group (n=9), ethanol liquid diet group (n=9).

Objective: To study the effects and mechanisms of Jianpi Liqi Huoxue Decoction (JLHD) in anti-alcoholic liver injury (ALI) through the pathological relation of ALI with changes of intestinal permeability and endotoxin leakage.
Methods: The liver injury model induced by Lieber-DeCarli alcoholic forage was established. Altogether 42 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, the normal group (n=6), the control group fed with non-alcohol diet (n=12), the model group fed with alcoholic diet (n=12) and the treated group fed with alcoholic diet and treated with JLHD (n=12).
