Based on the fifth-order intrinsic aberration of a soft x-ray and vacuum ultraviolet (XUV) optical system with a one-dimension field light source, it is extended to the case of two-dimension in this paper, and the corresponding aberration calculation method is studied. Firstly, we derived sixth-order intrinsic wave aberration expressions of these kinds of optical systems with the aperture-ray coordinates on the reference exit wavefront; and then, derived the calculation expressions for fifth-order intrinsic aberration on the image plane caused by the contributions of wave aberration and defocus, respectively. Finally, the aberration expressions derived in this paper are applied to calculate the aberration distributions of two design examples of these kinds of optical systems, and these calculation results are compared with the ray-tracing program Shadow to validate the aberration expressions. The study shows that the calculation accuracy of aberration expressions is very satisfactory.

The neural tube, the embryonic precursor to the vertebrate central nervous system, comprises distinct progenitor and neuronal domains, each with specific proliferation programs. In this study, we identified TMEM196, a novel transmembrane protein that plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation in the floor plate in chick embryos. TMEM196 is expressed in the floor plate, and its overexpression leads to reduced cell proliferation without affecting the pattern formation of the neural tube.

The knockout (KO) rat has subcortical heterotopia with frequent brain hemorrhage as seen in mice. In this study, we report aberrant alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in the wall of lateral ventricle of the KO rats.

Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) stands as one of the most prevalent and severe causes of heart failure. Inflammation plays a pivotal role throughout the progression of DCM to heart failure, while age acts as a natural predisposing factor for all cardiovascular diseases. These two factors often interact, contributing to cardiac fibrosis, which is both a common manifestation and a pathogenic driver of adverse remodeling in DCM-induced heart failure.

Histone acetylation is the process by which histone acetyltransferases (HATs) add an acetyl group to the N-terminal lysine residues of histones, resulting in a more open chromatin structure. Histone acetylation tends to increase gene expression more than methylation does. In the central nervous system (CNS), histone acetylation is essential for controlling the expression of genes linked to cognition and learning.

Hierarchy has been identified as a principle underlying the organization of human brain networks. However, it remains unclear how the network hierarchy is disrupted in Parkinson's disease (PD) motor symptoms and, how it is modulated by the underlying genetic architecture. The aim of this study was to explore alterations in the motor functional hierarchical organization of the cerebrum and their underlying genetic mechanism.
