Patients with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux(LPR) have chronic inflammation of the laryngeal mucosa leading to a high response state in the larynx, which may make the vocal fold movement too fast. This paper discusses the characteristics of vocal fold movement and voice onset by analyzing laryngeal high-speed videoendoscopy in patients with LPR. Forty patients with LPR were enrolled as LPR group.

However, traditional recognition and amplification tools exhibit poor specificity and sensitivity. Herein, a novel dual-machine linkage nanodevice (DMLD) is proposed for the first time to achieve high-performance analysis of TC, with a padlock aptamer component as the initiation command center, nucleic acid-encoded multispike virus-like Au nanoparticles (nMVANs) as the signal indicator, and cascade walkers circuit as the processor.

A novel homologous surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-electrochemical (EC) dual-mode biosensor based on a 3D/2D polyhedral Au nanoparticle/MoO nanosheet heterojunction (PAMS HJ) and target-triggered nonenzyme cascade autocatalytic DNA amplification (CADA) circuit was constructed for highly sensitive detection of microRNA (miRNA). Mixed-dimensional heterostructures were prepared by growth of polyhedral Au nanoparticles (PANPs) on the surface of MoO nanosheets (MoO NSs) via a seed-mediated growth method. As a detection substrate, the resulting PAMS HJ shows the synergistic effects of both electromagnetic and chemical enhancements, efficient charge transfer, and robust stability, thus achieving a high SERS enhancement factor (EF) of 4.

Methods: A unilateral injury was created using micro-cup forceps in the left vocal fold of six beagles. The contralateral normal vocal fold was used as a self-control.
Objective: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) causes laryngopharyngeal hypersensitivity and laryngeal muscle hyperfunction, which may result in hard voice onset in patients with LPR. The purpose of this study is to examine the incidence of hard voice onset in patients with LPR and the effects of hard voice onset on objective voice function in patients with LPR.

Pressure ulcers are a common complication of immobility and frequently occur in surgical patients. The occurrence of pressure ulcers is affected by many factors, such as operation time and position, anesthesia method, and postoperative nursing. The aim of this study was to investigate the Munro Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale's value in predicting acute pressure ulcers in general anesthesia patients.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a devastating hereditary disease characterized by bone marrow failure (BMF) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). As FA-deficient cells are hypersensitive to DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), ICLs are widely assumed to be the lesions responsible for FA symptoms. Here, we show that FA-mutated cells are hypersensitive to persistent replication stress and that FA proteins play a role in the break-induced-replication (BIR)-like pathway for fork restart.

Here, we show that SMC5 dysfunction in avian DT40 B cells causes mitotic delay and hypersensitivity toward DNA intra- and inter-strand crosslinkers (ICLs), with smc5 mutants being epistatic to FANCC and FANCM mutations affecting the Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway. Mutations in the checkpoint clamp loader RAD17 and the DNA helicase DDX11, acting in an FA-like pathway, do not aggravate the damage sensitivity caused by SMC5 dysfunction in DT40 cells.

In this study, we compared the adduction speed of the contralateral vocal folds in patients with UVFP and in healthy subjects as measured by the stroboscopic laryngoscope frame rate.
