Human generates very slow (<1 Hz) body sway during standing, and the behavior of this sway is known to be changed characteristically depending on the neural ataxia. In order to investigate the sway mechanism and mechanism of neural ataxia through this sway behavior, the present research proposes an experimental environment of rats under bipedal standing. By the experiment, we succeeded the measurement of six intact rats standing for over 200 seconds without postural supports. Moreover, by comparing measured center of pressure (COP) and that of system model with nonlinear PID control model which is proposed as human standing model, control parameters of rats were numerically evaluated. Evaluated control parameters of rats were close to those of human, i.e., control strategy was considered to be comparable between rats and human.

Establishing normative values and understanding how proprioception varies among body parts is crucial. However, the variability across individuals, especially adolescents, makes it difficult to establish norms. This prevents further investigation into classifying patients with abnormal proprioception.

Using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), it is possible to show chemical composition of materials and / or profile chemical changes occurring in tissues, cells, and body fluids during onset and progression of diseases. For diagnostic application, the use of blood would be the most appropriate in biospectroscopy studies since, (i) it is easily accessible and, (ii) enables frequent analyses of biochemical changes occurring in pathological states. At present, different studies have investigated potential of serum, plasma and sputum being alternative biofluids for lung cancer detection using FTIR.

Isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder is a prodrome of α-synucleinopathies. Using positron emission tomography, we assessed changes in Parkinson's disease-related motor and cognitive metabolic networks and caudate/putamen dopaminergic input in a 4-year longitudinal imaging study of 13 male subjects with this disorder. We also correlated times to phenoconversion with baseline network expression in an independent validation sample.

Associations of adiposity with risks of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and non-cardia stomach cancer, both prevalent in China, are still inconclusive. While adiposity is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer, the relevance of fat-free mass and early-adulthood adiposity remains to be explored. The prospective China Kadoorie Biobank study included 0.
