Objectives: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on pain, anxiety like behavior, and substance P(SP) /neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) /β -arrestin 1(ARRB1) pathway related protein expression in hippocampus of chronic constriction injury (CCI) rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of neuropathic pain.
Methods: Twenty-seven male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model and EA groups, with 9 rats in each group. The CCI model was established by ligature of the left sciatic nerve.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare a dual Proglide strategy versus a combination of one Proglide and dual Exoseal for large-bore access closure during percutaneous access endovascular aneurysm repair (pEVAR).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 97 patients who underwent pEVAR at our center between January 2021 and February 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: dual Proglide (P + P) and one Proglide with dual Exoseal (P + E).
As modified ligands with a wide range of sources, abundant functional groups, and good biocompatibility, polymers have been widely used in the development of silica-based chromatographic stationary phases. In this study, a poly(styrene-acrylic acid) copolymer-modified silica stationary phase (SiO@P(St-b-AA)) was prepared via one-pot free-radical polymerization. In this stationary phase, styrene and acrylic acid were used as functional repeating units for polymerization and vinyltrimethoxylsilane (VTMS) was used as a silane coupling agent to link the copolymer and silica.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with rational configurations of fluorine as the hydrogen-bonding acceptor (HBA), exhibit excellent affinities to capture acetylene from the gas mixtures. Currently, most research studies feature anionic fluorine groups as structural pillars (, SiF , TiF , NbOF ), whereas insertion of fluorine into metal clusters is rather challenging.

The occurrence of CRF may be related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenaline (HPA) axis, inflammatory mediator theory, and gut microbiota.
