6 weeks after adult thymectomy (ATx) in the Mouse, the contact sensitivity reaction to dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) is enhanced. 4 to 7 months after ATx, this reaction is deeply, but incompletely depressed, whereas the concomitant antibody response is not affected. These results suggest that both a suppressor, and an amplifier, T lymphocytes, the life span of which is different after ATx, are involved in the regulation of contact sensitivity. The effect of circulating thymic factor on this reaction suggests that this factor acts exclusively, at least in short treatments, on the suppressor function.

Rationale: Extraterrestrial amines and ammonia are critical ingredients for the formation of astrobiologically important compounds such as amino acids and nucleobases. However, conventional methods for analyzing the composition and isotopic ratios of volatile amines suffer from lengthy derivatization and purification procedures, high sample mass consumption, and chromatographic interferences from derivatization reagents and non-target compounds.
Methods: Here we demonstrate a highly efficient method to analyze the composition and compound specific isotopic ratios of C to C amines as well as ammonia based on solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) on-fiber derivatization.

Colophony is a solid form of resin derived from coniferous trees that has both adhesive and water-resistant properties. For these reasons, this allergen is incorporated into many personal care products, medications, and occupational materials, and is thus commonly implicated in allergic contact dermatitis. Dedicated "dental" allergen series often include colophony, but dermatologists are likely not well-versed on its use in a dental setting.

Proximity and tactile multiresponse sensing electronic skin enriches the perception dimension, which is of great significance in promoting the intelligence of electronic skin. However, achieving real-time visualization in sensors such as proximity and tactile feedback remains a challenge. A proximity and tactile sensor with visual function is designed, which can realize optical early warning and electrical recognition when the object is near, and optical display and electrical output when the object is in contact.

Wearable devices that incorporate flexible pressure sensors have shown great potential for human-machine interaction, speech recognition, health monitoring, and handwriting recognition.However, achieving high sensitivity, durability, wide detection range, and breathability through cost-effective fabrication remains challenging. Through ultrasound-assisted modification and impregnation-drying, dome-structured nonwovens/rGO/PDMS flexible pressure sensors were developed.
