Article Synopsis
  • Pruritus, particularly chronic post-burn pruritus (CPBP), is an itch that lasts for over six weeks due to skin damage and abnormal healing, with unknown brain mechanisms contributing to the condition.
  • A study involving 20 CPBP patients and 20 healthy controls used resting-state fMRI to analyze brain activity through various measures while accounting for factors like age.
  • Results indicated significant brain activity differences in CPBP patients, including higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) in various areas such as the middle frontal gyrus, and increased amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), suggesting altered brain function related to ongoing itch sensation.

This study employs the discrete element method to investigate the influence of particle size on the load-bearing characteristics of aggregates, with a specific emphasis on the aggregates used in escape ramp arrester beds. This study utilises the log edge detection algorithm to introduce an innovative approach for modelling irregularly shaped pebbles, integrating their physical properties into a comprehensive discrete element model to enhance the accuracy and applicability of simulations involving such pebbles. Meticulous validation and parameter calibration (friction coefficient: 0.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that offer potential benefits to their hosts and can occasionally influence behavioral responses. However, the detailed mechanisms by which probiotics affect the behavior of their hosts and the underlying biogenic effects remain unclear. Lactic acid bacteria, specifically spp.

Introduction: To investigate the role of the long-chain noncoding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) in the process of angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and illustrate its potential role in burn sepsis (BS) pathogenesis.

Methods: HUVECs were treated with BS patient serum or healthy control serum. NEAT1 shRNA, miR-495-3p mimics, and miR-495-3p inhibitor were transfected into HUVECs.
