and polymorphisms are associated with endurance exercise ability. This case-control study explored the association of and gene polymorphisms with elite pure endurance in Korean athletes, hypothesizing that individuals with both and genotypes would exhibit superior endurance. We recruited 934 elite athletes (713 males, 221 females) and selected 45 pure endurance athletes (36 males, 9 females) requiring "≥90% aerobic energy metabolism during sports events", in addition to 679 healthy non-athlete Koreans (361 males, 318 females) as controls.

This study aimed to describe computed tomography (CT) characteristics of histologically confirmed cirrhosis and to compare these CT characteristics between compensated and decompensated cirrhosis. Sixteen dogs who underwent contrast CT and histopathological examinations were included; eleven dogs were assigned to the compensated group, and five dogs were assigned to the decompensated group. Irregular hepatic contours with a diffuse nodular distribution and hepatic lymph node enlargement are common concomitant features of cirrhotic livers on CT images.

A diagnostic system for measuring the effective charge in the versatile experiment spherical torus (VEST) has been developed. The system utilizes a toroidal array to observe the plasma radius on the low magnetic field side, providing a spatially resolved Zeff. The target wavelength of visible bremsstrahlung (VB) was carefully selected to avoid contamination by line emissions.

Background: Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has become popular in various reconstructive procedures of different anatomic regions. There are different needs depending on the clinical application, including breast, abdominal wall, and any other soft-tissue reconstruction. Removal of the basement membrane, which consists of collagen fibers, may help achieve natural and soft breast reconstruction, which requires highly elastic ADMs.

This article proposes an analog neuromorphic system that enhances symmetry, linearity, and endurance by using a high-precision current readout circuit for multi-bit nonvolatile electro-chemical random-access memory (ECRAM). For on-chip training and inference, the system uses activation modules and matrix processing units to manage analog update/read paths and perform precise output sensing with feedback-based current scaling on the ECRAM array. The 250nm CMOS neuromorphic chip was tested with a 32 x 32 ECRAM synaptic array, achieving linear and symmetric updates and accurate read operations.

A relativistic core-valence-separated equation-of-motion coupled cluster (CVS-EOM-CC) study of chlorine L-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra using CHCl and CHICl as representative molecules is reported. The nearly identical intensity for the main features in the L- and L-edge XANES spectra is attributed to multiplet effects and the overlap between core-valence and core Rydberg transitions. The multiplet effects originating from the interaction between the core hole and the C-Cl σ* orbitals account for around half of the deviation of the L and L intensity ratio from the 2:1 ratio of the numbers of 2p and 2p electrons.

Radiation therapy (RT) is a typical treatment for head and neck cancers. However, prolonged irradiation of the esophagus can cause esophageal fibrosis due to increased reactive oxygen species and proinflammatory cytokines. The objective of this study was to determine whether myogenic gene-transfected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could ameliorate damage to esophageal muscles in a mouse model of radiation-induced esophageal fibrosis.

Carbon corrosion poses a significant challenge in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), leading to reduced cell performance due to catalyst layer degradation and catalyst detachment from electrodes. A promising approach to address this issue involves incorporating an anticorrosive carbon material into the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrode, even in small quantities (≈3 wt% in electrode). Herein, the successful synthesis of fluorine-doped graphene nanoribbons (F-GNR) incorporated with graphitic carbon nanotubes (F-GNR@CNT), demonstrating robust resistance to carbon corrosion is reported.

Arabidopsis TATA-BINDING PROTEIN-ASSOCIATED FACTOR15b (TAF15b) is a plant-specific component of the transcription factor IID complex. TAF15b is involved in the autonomous pathway for flowering and represses the transcription of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), a major floral repressor in Arabidopsis. While components of the autonomous flowering pathway have been extensively studied, scant attention has been directed toward elucidating the direct transcriptional regulators responsible for repressing FLC transcription.

Current surgical treatments aim to mitigate these issues by resecting the paralyzed muscle or transposing the other recti muscles to the paralyzed muscle, but they do not fully improve the patient's quality of life. Electrical stimulation shows promise, while requiring further in vivo experiments and research on various stimulation parameters.

The density-fitted equation-of-motion (EOM) orbital-optimized second-order perturbation theory (DF-EOM-OMP2) method is presented for the first time. In addition, κ-DF-EOM-MP2 and κ-DF-EOM-OMP2 methods are implemented with the addition of κ-regularization. The accuracy of the DF-EOM-OMP2, κ-DF-EOM-MP2, and κ-DF-EOM-OMP2 methods are compared to the density-fitted EOM-MP2 (DF-EOM-MP2), EOM coupled-cluster (CC) singles and doubles (DF-EOM-CCSD), and EOM-CCSD with the triples excitation correction model [EOM-CCSD(fT)] for excitation energies of many closed- and open-shell chemical systems.

Using a small amount of any of several biocompatible materials to raise the refractive index of solutions superfusing the brain prior to imaging, we could increase several-fold the signals from the deepest cells normally visible and, under both one-photon and two-photon imaging, visualize cells previously too dim to see. The enhancement was observed for both anatomical and functional fluorescent reporters across a broad range of emission wavelengths.

Time-resolved small-angle X-ray experiments (TR-SAXS) are reported here that capture and quantify a previously unknown rapid collapse of the unfolded oligonucleotide as an early step in G4 folding of hybrid 1 and hybrid 2 telomeric G-quadruplex structures. The rapid collapse, initiated by a pH jump, is characterized by an exponential decrease in the radius of gyration from 20.6 to 12.

Purpose: Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is a difficult-to-treat otitis media characterized by eosinophilic accumulation in the middle ear mucosa and effusion. It is refractory to conventional treatments and is strongly associated with asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The diagnostic criteria for EOM were established by IINO in 2011.

The membrane fouling induced by algal extracellular organic matter (EOM) remain a bottleneck in restricting ultrafiltration (UF) application during harmful algal-water treatment. In current study, the application of heat-activated peroxydisulfate (PMS) and coagulation (Aluminum chlorohydrate, PACI) on membrane fouling behavior during Chlorella-laden water treatment was investigated. The membrane fouling mechanism was analyzed using the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Over-beek (XDLVO) theory.
