Autonomic nervous system and inflammation interaction in endometriosis-associated pain.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Pain is the most common symptom in endometriosis. Endometriosis-associated pain is caused by inflammation, and is related to aberrant innervation.

A novel torsion testing technique for micro-scale specimens based on electromagnetism.

A novel torsion apparatus for micro-scale specimens is developed based on electromagnetism, in which a coil-magnet component is used for actuating and torque measuring. When the current gets through the coil, the torque, produced by Ampere force, can be easily measured by recording the current. A laser displacement sensor is applied to measure the rotation angle.
