Effect of penetrative needling of "Zhibian" (BL54) through "Shuidao" (ST28) on expression of internal and external apoptosis-related factors in ovarian of mice with poor ovarian response.

Objectives: To observe the effect of penetrative needling of "Zhibian" (BL54) through "Shuidao" (ST28) on the expressions of internal and external apoptosis-related factors in mice with poor ovarian response (POR), so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of POR.

Methods: Sixty-nine female C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into blank, model and acupuncture groups (=23 in each group). The POR model was established by gavage of tripterygium wilfordii polyglucoside suspension (50 mg·kg).

Ultrasoft and Biocompatible Magnetic-Hydrogel-Based Strain Sensors for Wireless Passive Biomechanical Monitoring.

Implantable flexible mechanical sensors have exhibited great potential in health monitoring and disease diagnosis due to continuous and real-time monitoring capability. However, the wires and power supply required in current devices cause inconvenience and potential risks. Magnetic-based devices have demonstrated advantages in wireless and passive sensing, but the mismatched mechanical properties, poor biocompatibility, and insufficient sensitivity have limited their applications in biomechanical monitoring.
