Article Synopsis
  • Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy shows promise in reducing neurological impairments and improving intestinal function after traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  • In a mouse model, HBO therapy led to decreased inflammation, edema, and histopathological damage in the intestines, as well as improved microbiome diversity ten days post-injury.
  • The study suggests that HBO may enhance intestinal health after TBI through specific mechanisms involving increased mA levels in the brain, pointing to new therapeutic strategies for treating post-TBI intestinal dysfunction.

Improving thermal stability is of great importance for the industrialization of polymer solar cells (PSC). In this paper, we systematically investigated the high-temperature thermal annealing effect on the device performance of the state-of-the-art polymer:non-fullerene (PM6:Y6) solar cells with an inverted structure. Results revealed that the overall performance decay (19% decrease) was mainly due to the fast open-circuit voltage (, 10% decrease) and fill factor (FF, 10% decrease) decays whereas short circuit current () was relatively stable upon annealing at 150 °C (0.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between (rs1042522) polymorphism and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and its related complications.

Methods: The polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method in 206 T2DM patients and 446 healthy controls. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, mtDNA transcriptional level and large-scale mtDNA deletion were evaluated in leukocytes of T2DM patients using fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR), reverse transcriptase-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and long-range PCR approaches, respectively.
