[Clinical experience in treatment of refractory tinnitus with 's therapy of acupuncture].

This article summarizes the clinical experience in treatment of refractory tinnitus with 's therapy of acupuncture (three techniques of acupuncture to remove the blockage and promote circulation). Refractory tinnitus is characterized by a mixture of deficiency and excess, which is implicated in the dysfunction of organs, resulting in physical and mental injuries. In association with the complicated conditions of the diseases and etiology, 's therapy of acupuncture is adopted.

DeployFusion: A Deployable Monocular 3D Object Detection with Multi-Sensor Information Fusion in BEV for Edge Devices.

To address the challenges of suboptimal remote detection and significant computational burden in existing multi-sensor information fusion 3D object detection methods, a novel approach based on Bird's-Eye View (BEV) is proposed. This method utilizes an enhanced lightweight EdgeNeXt feature extraction network, incorporating residual branches to address network degradation caused by the excessive depth of STDA encoding blocks. Meantime, deformable convolution is used to expand the receptive field and reduce computational complexity.

Effects of Mixture Proportions and Molding Method on the Performance of Pervious Recycled Aggregate Concrete.

The use of pervious concrete pavement systems with recycled aggregates is a sustainable and innovative solution to major urbanization challenges such as repurposing construction waste, alleviating urban waterlogging, and reducing heat-island effects. This study aims to investigate the effects of mixture proportions and molding methods on the performance of pervious recycled aggregate concrete (PRAC). To this end, the coarse aggregate size (4.

Ginsenoside Rb1 targets to HO-1 to improve sepsis by inhibiting ferroptosis.

Sepsis remains the leading cause of mortality among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients, with its pathogenesis and treatment not yet fully elucidated. Ferroptosis plays a critical role in sepsis, suggesting that ferroptosis-related genes may serve as potential therapeutic targets. This study aims to identify key ferroptosis-related genes in sepsis and explore targeted therapeutics.

Clinical characteristics of patients with granulomatous lobular mastitis associated with Corynebacterium parakroppenstedtii infection and drug sensitivity analysis of the isolated strains.

Background: It is presently considered that Corynebacterium especially Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii (CK) infection, is one of the important causes of granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM). However, the pathogen of mastitis in the past two years has been identified as a newly discovered Corynebacterium. But it is unclear whether the pathogen associated with the occurrence of GLM is also this bacterium.

Radiosurgery versus observation for brainstem cavernous malformations: a 5-year multicentre cohort study.

The role of radiosurgery in preventing haemorrhage in brainstem cavernous malformations remains a subject of debate. This study aims to evaluate whether radiosurgery provides a protective benefit against haemorrhage in these patients. This multicentre, prospective observational study was conducted in 17 centres and enrolled eligible patients with brainstem cavernous malformations consecutively.

Xylan-based full-color room temperature phosphorescence materials enabled by imine chemistry.

Developing sustainable matrix and efficient bonding mode for preparing room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials with full-color afterglows is attractive but still challenging. Here, xylan, a hemicellulose by-product from the paper mill, is used to construct full-color RTP materials based on imine bonds. Xylan is oxidation by periodate to introduce aldehyde groups to increase reaction sites; aromatic amines with different π conjugations can be readily anchored to dialdehyde xylan (DAX) by imine chemistry.

One-step fabrication of a novel fiber-based absorber for flexible, tunable and boosted microwave absorption.

The increasingly intricate electromagnetic environment necessitates higher anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities for electronic devices, thereby demanding a flexible absorbing material that can adapt to multiple forms, is lightweight, and exhibits excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption properties. In this study, we have developed a novel flexible absorbing material (FAM) based on glass-coated amorphous magnetic fibers (SFs) and Dallenbach-like absorbing structures through wet forming technology. By combining high-performance absorbing fiber with textile structures, the FAM demonstrates EMW absorption performance along with lightweight flexibility and shape adaptability.

Objective: Cutaneous ulcers induced by metastasis present a challenging clinical issue, often resistant to conventional dressing change interventions. In this case, we demonstrates the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in managing ruptured tumors.

Case Presentation: We present a case study of a 40-year-old Chinese male patient diagnosed with advanced tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma with cervical lymph node metastasis and cutaneous ulceration.

Heterogeneity in extracellular matrix and immune microenvironment of anterior vaginal wall revealed by single-cell sequencing in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), characterized by involuntary urine leakage during increased abdominal pressure, remains poorly understood regarding its pathophysiology and treatment. In this study, we utilized single-cell sequencing to analyze the transcriptomic profiles of different cell types in anterior vaginal wall of SUI patients, aiming to explore the heterogeneity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and immune microenvironment in SUI pathogenesis. Our results identified eleven cell types, including connective tissue cells, immune cells, and glial cells.

Biopolymer immune implants co-loaded with TMZ, R848 and IOX1 for perioperative therapy of glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM), a prevalent and aggressive brain tumor, poses significant treatment challenges due to its rapid progression and the difficulty in achieving complete surgical resection. The current treatment regime, primarily surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, offers limited success, with a five-year survival rate of less than 10 %. For addressing the challenges faced in the treatment of GBM, an approach using a biopolymer implant constructed with dynamic reversible covalent bonds, was designed to achieve controlled and constant-rate release of chemotherapy drug (Temozolomide, TMZ), immune adjuvant (Resiquimod, R848) and checkpoint inhibitor (5-carboxy-8-hydroxyquinoline, IOX1).
