Dexmedetomidine accelerates photoentrainment and affects sleep structure through the activation of SCN neurons.

Dexmedetomidine (DexM), a highly selective α-adrenoceptor agonist, significantly reduces postoperative adverse effects, including sleep and circadian rhythm disruptions. Vasoactive intestinal peptide neurons in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) regulate the synchronization of circadian rhythms with the external environment in mammals. We investigate the effects of DexM on sleep and circadian rhythms, as well as the underlying mechanisms.

The diagnosis and treatment of the epithelioid sarcomas involving the peripheral nerves.

Epithelioid sarcomas are rare soft tissue tumors and have possibility to involve the peripheral nerve and present as sensory and motor disorders. The symptoms are similar to those of nerve compression diseases. This situation is extremely rare in clinic and was only reported as several case reports in literature.

Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) research: From the ocean to water treatment.

Transparent Exopolymer Particles (TEP), closely related to the carbon cycle due to their high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, have become a hot research topic. However, despite the growing interest in this field, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis providing a clear developmental background and quantitative research on the overall trends of TEP studies. To address the gap, this article utilizes VOSviewer and CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric analysis of TEP research.

Genome-Wide Development of InDel-SSRs and Association Analysis of Important Agronomic Traits of Taro () in China.

Taro ( (L.) Schott) is a tropical tuber crop whose underground corms are used as an important staple food. However, due to a lack of molecular markers, the genetic diversity, germplasm identification, and molecular breeding of taro are greatly limited.

Research Trends and Hotspots on Family Caregivers of Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder From 2002 to 2022: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Problems: Family caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (FC-ASD) have been reported to experience high levels of physical and psychological distress. This bibliometric study aimed to analyze the research trends, collaboration and knowledge dissemination pertaining to FC-ASD over the past 20 years.

Methods: This study provided an analysis of documents indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), published from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022.
