An equal strength cantilever beam vibration sensor based on an excessively tilted fiber grating (Ex-TFG) with light intensity demodulation is proposed. The basic principles and sensing characteristics of vibration sensing of an equal strength cantilever beam and Ex-TFG, the combination of which is applied into vibration sensing, are analyzed. An Ex-TFG is attached to the middle axis of an equal strength cantilever beam. As the vibration of a piezoelectric ceramic causes the equal strength cantilever beam to deform, the same and uniform deformation also occurs on the Ex-TFG. Experimental results show that when the thickness of the equal strength cantilever beam is 0.3 mm and the Ex-TFG is at transverse electric (TE) polarization state, the sensing performance is the best, with the maximum acceleration sensitivity reaching 81.065 mv·m·s, and the fast Fourier transform (FFT) main frequency components of the sensing signal accounting for more than 80%. In addition, this sensor is stable in sensing performance, easy in demodulation, simple in structure, high in sensitivity, and easy in manufacture, applicable for the sensing and on-line monitoring of low-frequency vibration signals.

Sepsis is a state of systemic immune dysregulation and organ failure that is frequently associated with severe brain disability. Epidemiological studies have indicated that younger females have better prognosis and clinical outcomes relative to males, though the sex-dependent response of the brain to sepsis during post-sepsis recovery remains largely uncharacterized. Using a modified polymicrobial intra-abdominal murine model of surgical sepsis, we characterized the acute effects of intra-abdominal sepsis on peripheral inflammation, brain inflammation and brain functional connectivity in young adult mice of both sexes.

Interestingly, the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE), primarily expressed in glial cells, is the strongest genetic modifier for LBD. The ε4 allele of this gene (APOE4) notably increases the risk of LBD.

Background And Aims: Exploring the effect of different isometric resistance training (IRT) on improving blood pressure, so as to provide important reference for the design of aerobic exercise prescription for IRT to improve blood pressure.
Methods: Forty eight overweight or obese college students with irregular exercise habits were randomly divided into four groups and underwent exercise intervention three times a week for a total of 6 weeks. Cardiovascular changes were evaluated before the first and 18th exercise sessions, as well as 0, 30, and 60 min after exercise.
