Low-Frequency Cyclic Stretch Upregulates the Expression of Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 in Human Nucleus Pulposus Cells to Inhibit the Resistin-Induced Interleukin-20 Expression.
JOR Spine

Department of Orthopedics, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine National Cheng Kung University Tainan Taiwan.
Background: Resistin may connect obesity and intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) and is linked with chronic inflammation. Furthermore, human IDD is characterized by high expression of interleukin-20 (IL-20). The response of human nucleus pulposus (NP) cells to tensile forces depends on both the duration and magnitude of the force applied.

The electrical conductivity of human tissues is a major source of uncertainty when modelling the interactions between electromagnetic fields and the human body. The aim of this study is to estimate human tissue conductivities in vivo over the low-frequency range, from 30 Hz to 1 MHz. Noninvasive impedance measurements, medical imaging, and 3D surface scanning were performed on the forearms of ten volunteer test subjects.

Center for Surgery and Public Health, Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Surgeon stress can influence technical and nontechnical skills, but the consequences for patient outcomes remain unknown.
Objective: To investigate whether surgeon physiological stress, as assessed by sympathovagal balance, is associated with postoperative complications.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multicenter prospective cohort study included 14 surgical departments involving 7 specialties within 4 university hospitals in Lyon, France.
Reduced Thermal Conductivity and Improved Stability by B-Site Doping in Tin Halide Perovskites.
J Phys Chem Lett
January 2025
School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS, U.K.
Article Synopsis
- Halide perovskites, particularly tin halides, are gaining attention as thermoelectric materials due to their low thermal conductivity and good charge transport.
- Partial substitution of Sn (II) with Ge (II) in CsSnGeI perovskite thin films enhances stability, keeping the material in the black orthorhombic phase after prolonged exposure to air.
- Ge substitution significantly reduces lattice thermal conductivity and improves the understanding of phonon behavior in these mixed metal perovskites, contributing to their potential in thermoelectric applications.
Organic Food Consumption Might Protect Against Sensitisation to Inhalant Allergens at School Age: The PARIS Cohort.
Allergy
January 2025
Université Paris Cité, Inserm U1153 CRESS, INRAE, HERA Team, Paris, France.
Background: Interest has grown recently in childhood diet's role in allergy development. However, the studies focusing on organic food consumption are scarce. We address the relationships between such consumption and respiratory/allergic morbidity at school age in the PARIS (Pollution and asthma risk: An infant study) cohort.
