Article Synopsis
  • Solar power is crucial for global carbon neutrality, but partial shading challenges the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems due to nonlinear output characteristics.
  • This paper introduces a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique using the Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm (DBO) to enhance power output under varied weather conditions compared to other established MPPT methods.
  • Experimental results show that the DBO technique achieves 99.99% global maximum power point tracking efficiency, with significant improvements in tracking speed, convergence rates, and average power output.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an inflammatory condition, and excessive adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released into the extracellular space, which can be catabolized into adenosine by CD73. Extracellular vesicles have been designed as nano drug carriers in many diseases. However, their impacts on delivery of CD73 after SCI are not yet known.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is caused by the deficiency of estrogen, which breaks bone homeostasis and induces levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Muscone is a potent anti-inflammatory agent and is used to treat bone fracture in traditional Chinese medicine. However, its anti-osteoclastogenic effects remain unclear.

Objectives: The present study introduced an electronic conductivity device (ECD) to reduce time of percutaneous transpedicular puncture and frequency of patient valid radiation exposure in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) or percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).

Methods: A randomized self-control clinical study was undertaken. Medical records of patients with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) for bilateral PKP or PVP were collected, and each side was performed randomly with ECD or conventional trocar.
