Objective: To identify the characteristics of the air-conducted ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) in the young normal Chinese subjects.
Methods: Twenty five normal subjects were recruited for conventional examinations of oVEMP. The subjects were 19 - 45 years of age [(24.3 ± 5.6) years], 12 males and 13 females. 500 Hz air-conducted tone burst was employed for examination. The threshold of oVEMP in each ear was examined; patterns of these waves were observed and the normal ranges of the oVEMP waves responded to 100 dBnHL were calculated.
Results: All subjects were elicited with normal oVEMP N1-P1 waves in both ears. The response rate in these subjects was 100%. The threshold of oVEMP examination was (86.6 ± 3.6) dBnHL (x(-) ± s), latency N1 (10.1 ± 0.4) ms, latency P1 (14.7 ± 1.2) ms, interval N1-P1 (4.5 ± 1.0) ms, amplitude (7.9 ± 4.4) µV.
Conclusions: Air-conducted oVEMP is a kind of vestibular-ocular reflex respond to intensive sound generated by otolithic vestibular end organs. It is stable in the young normal subjects with minor variabilities.

Soft robots based on actuators that can work in both on-ground and on-water situations are environmentally adaptable and can accomplish tasks in complex environments. However, most current amphibious actuators need external stimuli to move on water and require complex preparation processes. Herein, amphibious Ink-paper/polyethylene programmable actuators and robots are proposed, which are fabricated by rapidly brushing Chinese ink on paper.

Purpose: Early detection and intervention are vital for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) effectively. However, it's still unclear which risk factors for T2DM onset are most significant. This study aimed to use cluster analysis to categorize individuals based on six known risk factors, helping to identify high-risk groups requiring early intervention to prevent T2DM onset.

Biological ageing can be defined as a gradual loss of homeostasis across various aspects of molecular and cellular function. Mammalian brains consist of thousands of cell types, which may be differentially susceptible or resilient to ageing. Here we present a comprehensive single-cell RNA sequencing dataset containing roughly 1.

Background: A unique form of Hemophilia B (HB) is HB Leyden. We evaluated the International PedNet Registry database to explore the natural history of HB Leyden, investigate genotype-phenotype associations and guide clinical decision-making.
Objectives: To assess the association between genetic variants, endogenous factor (FIX) levels over time, treatment and bleeding phenotype in children with HB Leyden.

The athlete's paradox states that intramyocellular triglyceride accumulation associates with insulin resistance in sedentary but not in endurance-trained humans. Underlying mechanisms and the role of muscle lipid distribution and composition on glucose metabolism remain unclear. We compared highly trained athletes (ATHL) with sedentary normal weight (LEAN) and overweight-to-obese (OVWE) male and female individuals.
