A Miniaturized and Highly Stable Frequency-Selective Rasorber Incorporating an Embedded Transmission Window.

In this article, a miniaturized and highly stable frequency-selective rasorber (FSR) incorporating an embedded transmission window is designed. This FSR consists of a lossy layer loaded with resistors, an air layer, and a bandpass layer. The lossy layer is provided with a rectangular, square ring structure loaded with four 180 Ω resistors and four quadrilateral metal plates.

Investigation and analysis of influencing factors of early activity compliance of patients after minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Background: Unclear assessment content is the main reason for poor early postoperative ambulation compliance of patients. this study aimed to accelerate patients' recovery by investigating the influencing factors of the early activity compliance of patients with esophageal cancer (EC) undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).

Methods: A total of 228 patients were investigated with a self-designed general information questionnaire, disease-specific questionnaire, early postoperative activity record, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the health belief model questionnaire from January 2019 to June 2020.

Effectiveness of telerehabilitation on short-term quality of life of patients after esophageal cancer surgery during COVID-19: a single-center, randomized, controlled study.

Background: The occurrence of postoperative complications may lead to delayed recovery and a decline in physical function in the first 3 months after esophagectomy. The outbreak of COVID-19 imposed physical and emotional obstacles for traditional face-to-face rehabilitation. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of telerehabilitation remained unknown.

Hsa_circ_0004370 promotes esophageal cancer progression through miR-1294/LASP1 pathway.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) formed by back-splicing play multiple roles in the occurrence and development of cancer. Here, we found that hsa_circ_0004370 was up-regulated in both esophageal cancer (EC) tissues and cell lines. Loss function of hsa_circ_0004370 by si-RNA significantly suppressed proliferation and invasion and promoted apoptosis in both EC cell lines.

Biological variations of hematologic parameters determined by UniCel DxH 800 hematology analyzer.

Context: The Coulter DxH 800 hematology analyzer can determine conventional hematologic parameters. It also provides many new hematologic parameters, some of which show potential clinical utility.

Objectives: To study, for the first time, the biological variations of new hematologic parameters and reinvestigate the biological variations of conventional hematologic parameters using the newest Coulter hematology analyzer.
