Predictive Factors for Delayed Recovery From Anesthesia in Patients Receiving Free Vascularized Flap Reconstruction for Head and Neck Defects: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Free flap reconstruction for head and neck defects is currently a common procedure. This study aimed to create and validate a predictive model for identifying patients at risk of delayed recovery from anesthesia after free flap reconstruction for head and neck defect.

Methods: Electronic medical records from all patients were retrospectively collected.

Experimental study of I-caerin 1.1 and I-c(RGD) for internal radiation therapy of esophageal cancer xenografts.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the therapeutic effects of I-caerin 1.1 and I-c(RGD) on TE-1 esophageal cancer cell xenografts.

Methods: (1) The in vitro antitumor effects of the polypeptides caerin 1.

I-Caerin 1.1 and I-Caerin 1.9 for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effect of the I-labeled high-affinity peptides Caerin 1.1 and Caerin 1.9 for the treatment of A549 human NSCLC cells.

A Broad Dual-Band Implantable Antenna for RF Energy Harvesting and Data Transmitting.

An implantable antenna, operating at the dual Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands of 902-928 MHz and 2.4-2.48 GHz, is presented for RF energy harvesting and data transmission.

A Circularly Polarized Implantable Rectenna for Microwave Wireless Power Transfer.

A circularly polarized implantable antenna integrated with a voltage-doubled rectifier (abbr., rectenna) is investigated for microwave wireless power transfer in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band of 2.4-2.

Targeted radioimmunotherapy with the iodine-131-labeled caerin 1.1 peptide for human anaplastic thyroid cancer in nude mice.

Objective: The combination of two or more drugs with different mechanisms is a promising strategy for cancer treatment, and radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a trending antitumor strategy. Radiotherapy (RT) can promote and activate antitumor immune effects, and immunotherapy can strengthen the effects of selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT); the RIT combination is synergistic and can overcome the adverse side effects of monotherapy. In this study, we developed a radioimmunoconjugate (RIC)-the iodine-131 (I)-labeled caerin 1.

A Miniaturized Circularly-Polarized Antenna for In-Body Wireless Communications.

A novel miniaturized single-fed circularly-polarized (CP) microstrip patch antenna operating in the Industrial, Scientific, Medical (ISM) band of 2.40⁻2.48 GHz, is comprehensively proposed for implantable wireless communications.

Differentiation of E14 mouse embryonic stem cells into thyrocytes in vitro.

Background: If methods of differentiating stem cells into thyrocytes can be perfected, they may provide a ready source of normal thyrocytes for basic research and clinical application. We developed a novel culture method capable of differentiating mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells into thyroid follicular cells.

Methods: E14 mouse ES cells were allowed to differentiate into embryoid bodies and then stimulated with thyroid-stimulating hormone, insulin, and potassium iodide.
