Objective: To explore the effect of electroacupuncture on myoelectric activity of Jejunal limb after Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy.
Methods: Fourteen health young pigs were randomly divided into 2 groups, an experimental group (total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy was carried out) and a control group (the abdominal cavity was closed after the electrode was placed), 7 pigs in each group. Electroacupunture was given at "Zusanli" (ST 36) in the experimental group. The changes of myoelectrogram of the jejunal limb was investigated.
Results: Compared with the control group, the amplitude and the frequency of the slow wave, and the amplitude and incidence rate of the spike potential in the experimental group were changed significantly; the duration of migrating motor complex (MMC) phase III was (2.6 +/- 0.7) minutes in the experimental group, which was significantly shorter than (7.1 +/- 1.1) minutes in the control group. Electroacupuncture did not significantly influence the amplitude and the frequency of the slow wave, but could increased significantly the incidence rate and the amplitude of the spike potential; after electroacupuncture, the duration of MMC phase III was (5.7 +/- 0.9) minutes, which was significantly longer than (2.6 +/- 0.7) minutes before electroacupuncture.
Conclusion: Electroacupuncture at "Zusanli" (ST 36) can relieve the Roux-en-Y stasis syndrome through influencing myoelectric activity of the jejunum.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based care plan learning strategy with standard training techniques in order to determine how it affects nursing students' learning results in newborn resuscitation.
Methods: Seventy third-year nursing students from a state university in Türkiye participated in the study. They were split into two groups: the experimental group, which received care plans based on AI, and the control group, which received traditional instruction.
Robust text-dependent speaker verification system using gender aware Siamese-Triplet Deep Neural Network.

Speaker verification in text-dependent scenarios is critical for high-security applications but faces challenges such as voice quality variations, linguistic diversity, and gender-related pitch differences, which affect authentication accuracy. This paper introduces a Gender-Aware Siamese-Triplet Network-Deep Neural Network (ST-DNN) architecture to address these challenges. The Gender-Aware Network utilizes Convolutional 2D layers with ReLU activation for initial feature extraction, followed by multi-fusion dense skip connections and batch normalization to integrate features across different depths, enhancing discrimination between male and female speakers.

The Zika virus (ZIKV), an arbovirus within the Flavivirus genus, is associated with severe neurological complications, including Guillain-Barré syndrome in affected individuals and microcephaly in infants born to infected mothers. With no approved vaccines or antiviral treatments available, there is an urgent need for effective therapeutic options. This study aimed to identify new natural compounds with inhibitory potential against the NS2B-NS3 protease (PDB ID: 5LC0), an essential enzyme in viral replication.

This study explored the early diagnosis and prognostic value of copeptin in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). 171 patients with chest pain or myocardial ischemia symptoms were enrolled. Patients with NSTE-ACS were further divided into the non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA).

Lines of evidence have indicated that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) progression. However, the study focused on the relationship between T2DM and OA at the transcriptional level remains empty. We downloaded OA- and T2DM-related bulk RNA-sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset.
