Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is the brain impairment and lesion caused by the external force injuring the head and the underlying brain, can cause pediatric death, disability, neurological disorders, and even lifelong disability. This study was to explore the effect of riboflavin (RF) on neurological rehabilitation and functional recovery after TBI.
Methods: The rat models of TBI were constructed by treating rats with controlled cortical impact (CCI).

This article describes a low noise and ultra-high input impedance active electrode (AE) interface chip for dry-electrode EEG recording. To compensate the input parasitic capacitance and the ESD leakage, power/ground/ESD bootstrapping is proposed. This design integrates chopping stabilization technique to suppress flicker noise of the amplifier which has never been tackled in previous bootstrapped AE design.

It has been shown that multidrug and toxic compound extrusion/detoxification (MATE/DTX) family transporters are involved in the regulation of plant development and stress response. Here, we characterized the () mutants in mungbean, which gave rise to increased branches, pentafoliate compound leaves, and shortened pods. Map-based cloning revealed that encoded a MATE/DTX family protein in mungbean.

There are two implicit theories on the malleability of one's ability: entity theory and incremental theory. They constrain and regulate people's understanding and responses to an individual's behavior, leading to different social cognitive patterns and behavioral responses.

A wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) device is an effective tool for managing cardiovascular diseases. This paper presents a low power clinician-like cardiac arrhythmia watchdog (CAW) for wearable ECG devices. The CAW is based on a novel P-QRS-T detection algorithm that makes use of clinical features to identify abnormalities.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of 5-aminoketovalic acid (5-ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of patients with low cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CINI) combined with high-risk human papillomavirus ((HR-HPV), and the factors affecting the efficacy.
Methods: 80 patients with CINI and HR-HPV infection were selected for the study. They received once weekly 5-ALA-PDT for either three or six treatments.

Background: Although gastric cancer is a malignancy with high morbidity and mortality in China, the survival rate of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) is high after surgical resection. To strengthen diagnosing and screening is the key to improve the survival and life quality of patients with EGC. This study applied data mining methods to improve screening for the risk of EGC on the basis of noninvasive factors, and displayed important influence factors for the risk of EGC.

To explore the relationship between the molecular structure and antibacterial activity of these compounds and predict the compounds with similar structures, Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models of 25 kinds of hydroxyl benzoic esters with the quantum chemical parameters and molecular connectivity indexes are built based on support vector machine (SVM) by using R language. The External Standard Deviation Error of Prediction (SDEP), fitting correlation coefficient (), and leave-one-out cross-validation () are used to value the reliability, stability, and predictive ability of models.
