In this work, for the first time, four self-sweeping regimes in a single-mode bi-directional ytterbium-doped fiber ring laser are observed by adjusting the polarization controller (PC): normal self-sweeping, reverse self-sweeping, mixed state, and wavelength stop state. In addition, regulating the PC can artificially selectively make the laser operate in normal self-sweeping or reverse self-sweeping within a certain pump power range, and their self-sweeping characteristics (e.g., sweeping rate, sweeping range, etc.) and intensity dynamics are investigated in detail, respectively. In conclusion, we can flexibly regulate the sweeping direction and sweeping characteristics of the bi-directional self-sweeping fiber ring laser in a simple approach by adjusting the PC, which is potentially valuable for its practical application.

In the last decade, substantial progress has been made to improve the performance of optical gyroscopes for inertial navigation applications in terms of critical parameters such as bias stability, scale factor stability, and angular random walk (ARW). Specifically, resonant fiber optic gyroscopes (RFOGs) have emerged as a viable alternative to widely popular interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes (IFOGs). In a conventional RFOG, a single-wavelength laser source is used to generate counter-propagating waves in a ring resonator, for which the phase difference is measured in terms of the resonant frequency shift to obtain the rotation rate.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the interocular symmetry of macular sublayer thickness among healthy children aged 6-12 years.
Methods: The Shiraz Pediatric Eye Study included 500 randomly selected children who underwent SD-OCT of the macula and optical biometry using the IOLMaster-500. Exclusion criteria involved ocular abnormalities or axial lengths outside the 21.

Objective: To assess the impacts of electroacupuncture (EA) on the gait, oxidative stress, inflammatory reaction, and protein degradation in the rats of denervated skeletal muscle atrophy, and explore the potential mechanism of EA for alleviating denervated skeletal muscle atrophy.
Methods: Forty male SD rats, 8 weeks old, were randomly assigned to a sham-surgery group, a model group, an EA group, and a p38 MAPK inhibitor group, with 10 rats in each group. The right sciatic nerve was transected to establish a rat model of denervated skeletal muscle atrophy in the model group, the EA group and the p38 MAPK inhibitor group.

Here, we investigated whether a mixture of and (1:3, KGC01CE) could suppress muscle atrophy in HO-induced C2C12 cells and dexamethasone-injected mice. Our results revealed that KGC01CE effectively safeguarded against HO-induced muscle atrophy in C2C12 cells compared with the same mixture at other ratios. We demonstrated that dexamethasone elicited oxidative stress in muscle tissue and decreased the grip strength and cross-sectional areas of muscle fibers; however, oral administration of KGC01CE (1:3) suppressed these dexamethasone-induced changes.
