Effect of Progressive Resistance Training on Circulating Adipogenesis-, Myogenesis-, and Inflammation-Related microRNAs in Healthy Older Adults: An Exploratory Study.

Background: Functional and physiological adaptations induced by resistance training have been extensively studied in older adults. However, microRNA (miRNA) as the novel regulator in protective effects remains poorly understood.

Objective: The purpose of an exploratory study was to analyze the response of a panel of circulating miRNAs to adaptations mediated by resistance training.

A flexible and miniaturized hair dye based photodetector via chemiluminescence pathway.

A flexible and miniaturized metal semiconductor metal (MSM) biomolecular photodetector was developed as the core photocurrent system through chemiluminescence for hydrogen peroxide sensing. The flexible photocurrent sensing system was manufactured on a 30-µm-thick crystalline silicon chip by chemical etching process, which produced a flexible silicon chip. A surface texturization design on the flexible device enhanced the light-trapping effect and minimized reflectivity losses from the incident light.

Multiple wave diffraction anomalous fine structure.

A new method, multiple-wave diffraction anomalous fine structure, combining the x-ray multiple-wave diffraction and diffraction anomalous fine structure techniques, is proposed. The real part of dispersion correction Deltaf' and fine structure chi function can be obtained directly by multiple diffraction analysis without using Kramers-Krönig relations and kinematical fitting of diffracted intensity. Better wave vector sensitivity of the fine structure is expected.
