Integrated Multifunctional Electronic Skins with Low-Coupling for Complicated and Accurate Human-Robot Collaboration.

Multifunctional capability and low coupling electronic skin (e-skin) is of great significance in advanced robot systems interacting with the human body or the external environment directly. Herein, a multifunctional e-skin system via vertical integrated different sensing materials and structures is presented. The multifunctional e-skin has capacity sensing the proximity, pressure, temperature, and relative humidity simultaneously, with scope of 100-0 mm, 0-30 N, 20-120 °C and 20-70%, respectively.

[Relationship between pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B polymorphisms and the susceptibility to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome].

Objective: To study the relationship between pulmonary surfactant-associated protein B (SP-B) gene polymorphisms and their susceptibility to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).

Methods: Eighty-eight preterm infants with RDS (RDS group) and 103 infants without RDS (control group) were enrolled. The genomic DNA was isolated using DNA kits.
