Effect of Electroacupuncture Treatment on Bladder Function and Urodynamic Features of Neurogenic Bladder in Stroke: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Neurogenic bladder dysfunction is a common consequence of stroke, and it substantially impacts the quality of life and functional independence of affected individuals. Traditional treatment modalities have limitations in achieving optimal outcomes. This study aims to explore the effects of electroacupuncture treatment on bladder function and neurogenic bladder urodynamic characteristics in stroke patients.

Specific recognition of tyrosine-phosphorylated peptides by epitope imprinting of phenylphosphonic acid.

Protein phosphorylation on tyrosine residues is an important cell signaling mechanism that regulates embryo development, cell growth, differentiation and migration. Here, we developed an epitope imprinting approach to selectively enrich tyrosine-phosphorylated (pTyr) peptides using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). An artificial receptor based on MIPs was prepared by precipitation polymerization using phenylphosphonic acid (PPA) as a template, Ti(4+)-immobilized ethylene glycol methacrylate phosphate as functional monomer, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinkers, and deionized water as a porogen.
