Mechanical Performance Study of Beam-Column Connection with U-Shaped Steel Damper.
Materials (Basel)
October 2022
The article proposes the use of a semi-rigid energy-dissipation connection combined with a U-shaped metal damper to avoid brittle failure of rigid steel beam-column connections under seismic loading. The U-shaped metal damper connects the H-section column and the H-section beam to form a new energy-dissipation connection as an energy-dissipation member. Compared with the existing research, this connection has a stable energy-dissipation performance and great ductility.

- This research investigates the connection between sleep disorders (SD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), focusing on how SD impacts cognitive function.
- The study included 372 MDD patients and 457 healthy controls, finding that MDD patients are 38.88 times more likely to have a sleep disorder compared to healthy individuals.
- Results suggest that sleep disorders contribute to greater impairment in visuospatial and constructional abilities among MDD patients, and improving sleep quality and addressing depression can help mitigate these cognitive deficits.
Stroke is the leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide, and cognitive impairment and dementia are major complications of ischemic stroke. Cystatin C (CysC) has been found to be a neuroprotective factor in animal studies. However, the relationship between CysC levels and cognitive dysfunction in previous studies has revealed different results.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from June 2002 to July 2012, with 2,544 participants aged 20 years and over from Inner Mongolia, China. We categorized participants into four groups based on the family history of CVD and CRP levels.
Objective: To compare the therapeutic effects between needle knife therapy combined with rotation traction manipulation and rotation traction manipulation for the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.
Methods: From November 2013 to June 2015, 80 patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups randomly:the control group in which 39 patients were treated with rotation traction manipulation, and the treatment group in which 41 patients were treated with needle knife combined with rotation traction manipulation. The patients in the control group were treated once dayly for 2 weeks, which was 1 course.
Objective: To explore the central mechanism of moxibustion on analgesic effect.
Methods: Male Wistar rats were screened by pain threshold value before making model, and 48 rats whose pain threshold was (250 +/- 25) g were selected. Twelve male Wistar rats were randomly selected as a normal group.
