Psychometric validation of the Chinese version of the longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke monitoring tool for stroke patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate, adapt, and test the psychometric properties of the Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke (LUNS) monitoring tool for Chinese stroke patients.

Materials And Methods: The LUNS monitoring tool was translated and cross-culturally adapted using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy translation methodology and two rounds of expert consultation. A cross-sectional study was conducted to test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the tool from April to October 2023 in Xi'an.

Eupalinolide A induces autophagy via the ROS/ERK signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and .

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary malignancy of the liver. The current systemic drugs used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma result in low overall survival time. It has therefore been suggested that new small‑molecule drugs should be developed for treating hepatocellular carcinoma.

Eupalinolide B inhibits hepatic carcinoma by inducing ferroptosis and ROS-ER-JNK pathway.

Primary hepatic carcinoma is a common malignant tumor. The classic molecular targeted drug sorafenib is costly and is only effective for some patients. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to search for new molecular targeted drugs.

Electrowetting-actuated optofluidic phase modulator.

In this paper, an optofluidic phase modulator based on electrowetting is presented. The modulator consists of an inner and outer chamber. Two immiscible liquids are filled into the chambers, and a transparent sheet is fixed between the liquid-liquid interface to obtain a flat interface.

Design and Characteristics of an Optofluidic Phase Modulator Based on Dielectrowetting.

In this paper, an optofluidic phase modulator based on dielectrowetting is designed and fabricated to adjust the optical phase. Two liquids are filled in the device, and a transparent sheet is employed at the liquid interface to keep the interface flat. When different voltages are applied to the modulator, the flat interface moves up and down, leading to the variation of the optical phase.

Tribological properties of attapulgite/LaO nanocomposite as lubricant additive for a steel/steel contact.

Attapulgite is a layered silicate with good friction-reduction and self-repairing properties. In order to further improve its tribological properties, the present work mainly focuses on the preparation of attapulgite/LaO nanocomposite and study on its tribological behaviors. The tribological properties of mineral lubricating oil (150SN) containing attapulgite/LaO nanocomposite were investigated through an Optimal SRV-IV oscillating friction and wear tester.
