Association Between EEG Power During Sleep and Attention Levels in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder.

Purpose: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with cognitive impairment through unclear mechanisms. We examined the relationship between sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) power and attention level in MDD.

Patients And Methods: Forty-seven untreated patients with MDD and forty-seven age- and sex-matched controls were included.

Underwater power compensated white light source based on synthetic white laser.

The semiconductor white laser light source is used as a light source for underwater illumination. The required standard color temperature of white light is obtained at the underwater target surface. We studied the power compensation of a synthetic white laser source and its application to underwater illumination.

[Application of 3D printed nasal vestibular support in the treatment of anterior nostril stenosis].

To evaluate the efficacy of 3D printed nasal vestibular support on the recovery of nasal ventilation function and nostril shape after nostril stenosis treatment. Thirty-eight patients with unilateral traumatic nasal vestibular stenosis were selected and treated with 3D printed nasal vestibular support after operation. Subjective evaluation indicators, objective nostril local morphological and structural parameters, and nasal airflow dynamics parameters by numerical simulation were used.

Exosomal lncRNA Nuclear Paraspeckle Assembly Transcript 1 (NEAT1)contributes to the progression of allergic rhinitis via modulating microRNA-511/Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 4 Group A Member 2 (NR4A2) axis.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) has been reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases. However, the biological roles of lncRNA Nuclear Paraspeckle Assembly Transcript 1 (NEAT1) in AR are still unclear.

Identification of a long non-coding RNA (LncMSEN2) from pearl oyster and its potential roles in exoskeleton formation and LPS stimulation.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play regulatory roles in various biological processes, including exoskeleton formation and immune response. The exoskeleton-based mantle-shell defense system is an important defense mechanism in shellfish. In this study, we found a novel lncRNA, herein formally named, LncMSEN2, from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucuta martensii, and its sequence was validated via polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Investigation on the structure of nasal cavity and its airflow field in Crouzon syndrome.

Objective: Setup computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the nasal cavity in patients with Crouzon syndrome analyze inspiratory airflow hydrokinetics of its nasal cavity. After changing the morphosis structure of the nasal cavity by operation, compare the preoperative and postoperative alteration of the airflow field of the nasal cavity and evaluate the effect of operation on the physiological function of nasal ventilation.

Methods: Eleven patients with Crouzon syndrome were underwent spiral computed tomographic laminar scanning to obtain DICOM data and establish the CFD model.
