Human Adipose Tissue Lysate-Based Hydrogel for Lasting Immunomodulation to Effectively Improve Spinal Cord Injury Repair.

The long-term inflammatory microenvironment is one of the main obstacles to inhibit acute spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. The natural adipose tissue-derived extracellular matrix hydrogel shows effective anti-inflammatory regulation because of its unique protein components. However, the rapid degradation rate and removal of functional proteins during the decellularization process impair the lasting anti-inflammation function of the adipose tissue-derived hydrogel.

Rescuing effects of periostin in advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) caused osteogenic and oxidative damage through AGE receptor mediation and DNA methylation of the CALCA promoter.

An in vitro model was established to simulate a diabetes-type environment by treating human periodontal stem cells with advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Periostin (POSTN) plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of periodontal tissues. However, the role of POSTN in human periodontal stem cells stimulated by AGEs remains unknown.

Substitution for and Tests: Computational Models from Cell Attachment to Tissue Regeneration.

To get an optimal product of orthopaedic implant or regenerative medicine needs to follow trial-and-error analyses to investigate suitable product's material, structure, mechanical properites etc. The whole process from tests to clinical trials is expensive and time-consuming. Computational model is seen as a useful analysis tool to make the product development.

Correlation of clinical manifestations and condylar morphology of patients with temporomandibular degenerative joint diseases.

Objective: To study the correlation between condylar morphology and clinical manifestations in patients with degenerative joint disease (DJD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

Methods: A total of 175 joints of 131 patients with DJD were included. Data on patients' basic information and symptoms were collected and analyzed.

Correlation of patients' demographics and clinical symptoms with temporomandibular disorders.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between basic characteristics and clinical features of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Methods: The R language statistical tool was used to analyze the clinical information of 500 TMD patients, i.e.

Use of three points to determine the accuracy of guided implantation.

Aim: 'This study aims to establish an open-source algorithm using Python to analyze the accuracy of guided implantation, which simplifies interstudy comparisons.

Methods: Given ≥3 landmark pairs, this Tri-Point (TriP) method can register images. With ≥4 landmark pairs, TriP can calculate system errors for image registration.

In Vitro Experimental Study of the Effect of Adjusting the Guide Sleeve Height and Using a Visual Direction-Indicating Guide on Implantation Accuracy.

Purpose: We used a single-variable method to analyze the influence of the guide sleeve height of a conventional template on implantation accuracy in vitro and improve the function of short-sleeve templates by adding a visual direction-indicating guide (VDING).

Materials And Methods: We created 100 copies of a volunteer's dentition plaster model. The normal template (NT) and the VDING template (VT) were made with guide sleeves 2, 5, 8, and 10 mm in height.

Improving the Electrochemical Performance and Structural Stability of the LiNiCoAlO Cathode Material at High-Voltage Charging through Ti Substitution.

LiNiCoAlO (NCA) has been proven to be a good cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), especially in electric vehicle applications. However, further elevating energy density of NCA is very challenging. Increasing the charging voltage of NCA is an effective method, but its structural instability remains a problem.

[Determination of common dyes in dyed safflower by near infrared spectroscopy].

Because the red and bright color of corolla is the main indicator for the quality assessment of good safflower,the dyed safflower is sometimes found at the herbal market,what is influence on this herb quality and efficacy. A total of 127 safflower samples was therefore collected from different cultivating areas and herbal markets in China to develop a rapid method to identify the dyed safflower. Near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) combined with characteristic identification,high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC),principal component analysis(PCA) and partial least squares regression analysis(PLS) were employed to differentiate safflower from dyed safflower samples,and further quantify the levels of the 6 dyes,i.

Characterizing preferential flow in landfilled municipal solid waste.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a porous medium comprising macropores and matrix, such that the flow pattern often takes the form of preferential flow. The objective of this paper was to study the preferential flow in MSW and to quantify the flow character. Dye tracing tests and solute breakthrough tests were carried out using MSW samples taken from different depths of a landfill.

Examining Childhood Maltreatment and School Bullying Among Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study From Anhui Province in China.

Although a body of research has established the relationship between childhood maltreatment and bullying in Western culture backgrounds, few studies have examined the association between childhood maltreatment experiences and bullying in China. Moreover, to date, the relationship between multiple types of childhood maltreatment and cyber bullying is poorly understood. This study examined the association between multiple types of childhood maltreatment (physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect) and multiple forms of school bullying (physical, verbal, relational, and cyber).

[Clinical features and genotype analysis in a case of dyskeratosis congenita].

Objective: To analyze the clinical features and genotype in a 8-year-old boy with dyskeratosis congenita (DC).

Methods: We reviewed the clinical data of the case and amplified 7 DC-related genes (including DKC1,TERT,TERC,TINF2,NOP10, NHP2 and WRAP53) using polymerase chain reaction for DNA sequence analysis to identify the abnormal exons.

Results: DNA sequence analysis showed a c.

[Study on the relationship between child abuse, parent-child separation in childhood and the aggressive behavior in adolescence among 1417 junior high school students].

Objective: To explore the relationship between aggressive behaviors, parent-child separation and experience of childhood abuse among junior high school students.

Methods: A total of 1417 students in ordinary junior high schools from 3 townships in Huoshan, Anhui were involved in this study. Self-made questionnaire was used to estimate aggressive behaviors, parent-child separation in childhood, child abuse and social demographic information of the students under this study.

[Early hepatic encephalopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: the risk factors and long-time survival].

Objective: To identify the risk factors of early post-TIPS hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and the long-time survival of patients with or without early post-TIPS HE.

Methods: Consecutive cirrhotic patients who underwent TIPS for variceal rebleeding or refractory ascites in our center from January 2003 to December 2008 were included in this study. More than 60 clinical characteristics were enrolled in univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis to define the risk factors of HE in 3 months after TIPS procedure (early post-TIPS HE).
