New Insights on Hepatitis B Virus Viral Transcription in Single Hepatocytes.

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects approximately 290 million people globally, with chronic infection sustained by persistent viral gene expression. Recent single-cell analyses of HBV viral transcripts have uncovered novel features of HBV transcription and provided fresh insights into its regulation at the single-cell level. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in understanding HBV viral transcription in individual hepatocytes and highlight emerging technologies that hold promise for future research.

Research on Wireless Passive Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement Technology Based on Pulse Compression Method.

Fixed-point thickness measurement is commonly used in corrosion detection within petrochemical enterprises, but it suffers from low detection efficiency for localized thinning, limitations regarding measurement locations, and high equipment costs due to insulation and cooling layers. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a wireless passive ultrasonic thickness measurement technique based on a pulse compression algorithm. The research methodology encompassed the development of mathematical and circuit models for single coil and wireless energy transmission, the proposal of a three-terminal wireless energy mutual coupling system, and the establishment of a finite element model simulating the ultrasonic body wave thickness measurement and wireless energy transmission system.

Control Method for SynRMs Uses Simple Inductance Identification and Voltage Injection for Current and Angle Control.

The sensorless vector control method of synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs), based on extended back electromotive force (EMF) or flux observation, has been widely applied in the medium- or high-speed range. However, in the low-speed and low-current range, the extended back-EMF and flux are nearly zero. The use of the current frequency () control method can enable the motor to pass through the low-speed region, thereby ensuring that the back-EMF and flux reach a large value.

Non-[F]FDG PET-Radiopharmaceuticals in Oncology.

Molecular imaging is a growing field, driven by technological advances, such as the improvement of PET-CT scanners through the introduction of digital detectors and scanners with an extended field of view, resulting in much higher sensitivity and a variety of new specific radiopharmaceuticals that allow the visualization of specific molecular pathways and even theragnostic approaches. In oncology, the development of dedicated tracers is crucial for personalized therapeutic approaches. Novel peptides allow the visualization of many different targets, such as PD-1 and PD-L1 expression, chemokine expression, HER expression, T-cell imaging, microenvironmental imaging, such as FAP imaging, and many more.
