Current status and influencing factors of family resilience in families of children with epilepsy: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: The study was designed to describe the level of family resilience and identify the protective factors and vulnerability factors of family resilience in families of children with epilepsy. So as to provide theoretical guidance for implementing intervention programs to promote family resilience.

Methods: From November 2020 to July 2021, 258 parents of children with epilepsy were investigated using a convenience sampling method.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling reveals heterogeneous neutrophils with prognostic values in sepsis.

Neutrophils constitute the largest proportion of nucleated peripheral blood cells, and neutrophils have substantial heterogeneity. We profiled nearly 300,000 human peripheral blood cells in this study using single-cell RNA sequencing. A large proportion (>50%) of these cells were annotated as neutrophils.

Pickering emulsion droplet-based biomimetic microreactors for continuous flow cascade reactions.

A continuous flow cascade of multi-step catalytic reactions is a cutting-edge concept to revolutionize stepwise catalytic synthesis yet is still challenging in practical applications. Herein, a method for practical one-pot cascade catalysis is developed by combining Pickering emulsions with continuous flow. Our method involves co-localization of different catalytically active sub-compartments within droplets of a Pickering emulsion yielding cell-like microreactors, which can be packed in a column reactor for continuous flow cascade catalysis.

Simple tunable dual-wavelength fiber laser and multiple self-mixing interferometry to large step height measurement.

A simple tunable dual-wavelength fiber laser was developed and multiple self-mixing interferometry to large step height measurement was demonstrated. The fiber laser, which can emit two wavelengths without laser mode competition, is composed of a single fiber ring cavity and two fiber branches. Each branch includes a length of erbium-doped fiber and a fiber Bragg grating.
