Solution-processed optoelectronic devices are attractive because of the potential low-cost fabrication and the compatibility with flexible substrate. However, the utilization of toxic elements such as lead and cadmium in current optoelectronic devices on the basis of colloidal quantum dots raises environmental concerns. Here we demonstrate that white-light-emitting diodes can be achieved by utilizing non-toxic and environment-friendly gold nanoclusters.

Background: Scapular orientation and movements can affect the function of the shoulder. However, evidence is limited on whether symptomatic subjects can actively maintain the scapula in a neutral position through conscious control.

Objective: To investigate whether symptomatic subjects with scapular dyskinesis can achieve optimal scapular movements and associated muscle activities through conscious control.

Objective: To investigate clinical effect and safety of bone-setting manipulation in treating isolated systolic hypertension combined with cervical spondylosis.

Methods: From January 2012 to January 2015, 320 patients suffered from isolated systolic hypertension combined with cervical spondylosis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. In treatment group, there were 160 patients including 84 males and 76 females with an average age of (39.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to examine how mitochondria split and the impact of cyclosporine A (CsA) on this process, particularly in the context of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) following trauma.
  • Ten male rats were used to isolate mitochondria, which were then cultured with or without CsA to monitor changes in specific enzyme levels over time.
  • Results indicated that CsA delayed the peak levels of certain enzymes and affected the release of inflammatory markers (TNF-α and IL-6) differently depending on whether intact or disrupted mitochondria were present in the culture.

A series of azulene-based derivatives were synthesized as potent inhibitors for receptor tyrosine kinases such as FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT-3). Systematic side chain modification of prototype 1a was carried out through SAR studies. Analogue 22 was identified from this series and found to be one of the most potent FLT-3 inhibitors, with good pharmaceutical properties, superior efficacy, and tolerability in a tumor xenograft model.

Objectives: To investigate in vive osteogenic potential in size-critical bone defect after percutaneous autologous grafting of culture-expanded rabbit autologous BMSCs, osteo-induced BMSCs and combination of both.

Methods: BMSCs were cultured and then induced with osteogenic supplement (OS) medium. BMSCs with and without OS induction were collected and percutaneously autologously injected respectively into the 15 mm bone defect of 20 experimental rabbit model.

Fluoxetine is a widely used antidepressant compound which inhibits the reuptake of serotonin in the central nervous system. Recent studies have shown that fluoxetine can promote neurogenesis and improve the survival rate of neurons. However, whether fluoxetine modulates the proliferation or neuroprotection effects of neural stem cells (NSCs) needs to be elucidated.
