Effect of femoral prosthesis flexion angle on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with mobile platform.

Objective: To investigate the effect of the flexion angle of a femoral prosthesis on the postoperative clinical outcome of patients with knee osteoarthritis who are undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

Methods: Patients were divided into three groups according to the flexion angle of the femoral prosthesis following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Group A comprised patients with a flexion angle of the femur prosthesis of less than 5°, Group B included those with a flexion angle of 5° to 10°, and Group C consisted of patients with a flexion angle of the femur prosthesis greater than 10°.

An effector of translocates to chloroplasts and plasma membrane to suppress host immunity in grapevine.

The powdery mildew () is a prevalent pathogen hampering grapevine growth in the vineyard. An arsenal of candidate secreted effector proteins (CSEPs) was encoded in the genome, but it is largely unclear what role CSEPs plays during the infection. In the present study, we identified a secreted effector CSEP080 of , which was located in plant chloroplasts and plasma membrane.

Application of machine learning model in predicting the likelihood of blood transfusion after hip fracture surgery.

Objective: Anemia is one of the common adverse reactions after hip fracture surgery. The traditional method to solve anemia is allogeneic transfusion. However, the transfusion may lead to some complications such as septicemia and fever.

Multifunctional Ternary Hybrid Hydrogel Sensor Prepared the Synergistic Stabilization Effect.

Since highly stretchable hydrogels have demonstrated their promising applications in flexible tactile sensors and wearable devices, the current challenge has been imposed on stretchable and multifunctional electronics. Here, we report a multifunctional sensor composed of a liquid metal (LM) nanodroplet-adhered self-assembled polymeric network, anionic carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and cationic polyacrylamide (PAAm). The synergistic effect, zeta potential reduction, by CMC and macromolecules enveloped by LM contributes to the stabilization of the ternary system during preparation and, thus, the homogenization of the products.

Anisotropic, Flexible Wood Hydrogels and Wrinkled, Electrodeposited Film Electrodes for Highly Sensitive, Wide-Range Pressure Sensing.

Biological muscles generally possess well-aligned muscle fibers and thus excellent strength and toughness. Inspired by their microstructure, tough wood hydrogels with a preserved unique alignment of cellulose fibers, mechanical anisotropy, and desirable flexibility were developed by introducing chemically and ionically cross-linked poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) into the abundant pores of delignified wood. PAA chains well infiltrated the parallelly aligned cellulose fibers of wood and formed a layer-by-layer network structure, resulting in strong, elastic tangential, and radial wood hydrogel slices.
