Purpose: This research was conducted to construct an ankle pump motion counter and system with orthopedic characteristics and analyze the impacts of fast-track surgery on postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) among patients with lower limb fractures.
Methods: First, an ankle pump motion counter system was set up to detect postoperative rehabilitation training (Hardware design: This involves components such as an accelerometer sensor, microcontroller, circuit design, power supply, and wireless module. The accelerometer sensor is used to monitor key points and capture motion signals, while the microcontroller handles frequency calculations and generates alerts for abnormal ankle pump motion parameters.

Objective: To explore the effect of the Ankle Pump Exercise (APE) counter system on moderate to high-risk Venous thromboembolism (VTE) after femoral neck fracture surgery.
Methods: From June 2021 to June 2022, a total of 140 patients with moderate and high-risk VTE after femoral neck fracture surgery treated at the Department of Orthopedics of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang were included and divided into observation (70 cases) and control (70 cases) groups according to whether APE counter system was used or not. The control group was given routine oral propaganda, and the observation group was given a comprehensive nursing intervention with APE counter system on the basis of the control group's treatment.
Salt stress represents a significant abiotic stressor for plants and poses a severe threat to agricultural productivity. Glutaredoxins (GRXs) are small disulfide reductases that can scavenge cellular reactive oxygen species and are crucial for plant growth and development, particularly under stressful circumstances. Although CGFS-type GRXs were found to be involved in various abiotic stresses, the intrinsic mechanism mediated by LeGRXS14, a tomato ( Mill.

In the present work, we developed NanoLuc as a novel quantitative protein fusion tag for efficient overexpression in Escherichia coli and ultrasensitive bioluminescent assays using human leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) as a model protein. LIF is an interleukin 6 family cytokine that elicits pleiotropic effects on a diverse range of cells by activating a heterodimeric LIFR/gp130 receptor.
