In this note, dynamic equations of the piezoelectric rudder actuator are established using a numerical method, and the dynamic characteristics are analyzed. A simulation is performed using finite element software to verify the validity of the theory. The results show that an increase in axial force has significant amplification effects on the static displacement output of the bimorph and its rudder actuator, and the axial stiffness of the piezoelectric bimorph is evidently nonlinear against larger axial force.

Methods: Circumferential ablation was performed on the epicardial surface of the left atrial appendage (LAA) in New Zealand White rabbits, and L-DOX was then administered intravenously. Fluorescence spectrophotometry was used to assess reagent bio-distribution, while Western blots and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the localization of the apoptotic markers Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved CASP3 in the LAA.
Fecal Calprotectin for predicting Relapse and Activity in Patients with Crohn's Disease: A Meta-analysis.
Euroasian J Hepatogastroenterol
December 2016
Aims: We aimed to perform a meta-analysis of the predictive capacity of fecal calprotectin (FC) in activity and relapse of Crohn's disease (CD).
Materials And Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched systematically. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, and other diagnostic indices were evaluated.
Severe Henoch-Schönlein purpura with infliximab for ulcerative colitis.
World J Gastroenterol
May 2015
Article Synopsis
- * A case study is presented of a 69-year-old woman who experienced unusual subcutaneous bruising (ecchymosis) during her first IFX infusion for severe ulcerative colitis.
- * The bruising was linked to Henoch-Schönlein purpura, suggesting that adverse skin reactions can occur and emphasizing the need for awareness when using IFX for ulcerative colitis treatment.
Meta-analysis of the efficacy of probiotics in Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy.
World J Gastroenterol
December 2014
Aim: To evaluate the role of probiotics in the standard triple Helicobacter pylori therapy.
Methods: In this meta-analysis, we investigated the efficacy of probiotics in a standard triple H. pylori therapy in adults.
Potential role of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.
World J Gastroenterol
December 2009
Article Synopsis
- * IBD is characterized by excessive immune responses to gut bacteria, with Crohn's disease mainly involving Th1 immune responses and ulcerative colitis linked to Th2 responses.
- * The discovery of Th17 cells, a new type of immune cell, adds complexity to our understanding of IBD and indicates their involvement in both fighting infections and contributing to inflammation and autoimmunity.
