Intervention Effect of Rehabilitation Robotic Bed Under Machine Learning Combined With Intensive Motor Training on Stroke Patients With Hemiplegia.

It was aimed to discuss the effect of bed-type rehabilitation robots under machine learning combined with intensive motor training on the motor function of lower limbs of stroke patients with hemiplegia. A total of 80 patients with stroke hemiplegia were taken as the subjects, who all had a course of treatment for less than 6 months in the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Ganzhou Hospital. These patients were divided into the experimental group (40 cases) and the control group (40 cases) by random number method.

Techniques for analysing and monitoring during continuous bio-hydrogenation of kerosene from palm oils.

In this research work, analytical, experimental methods and monitoring techniques of bio-hydrogenated kerosene (BHK) production in continuous mode were presented. Two kinds of raw materials obtained from palm processing plant named as refined bleached deodorised palm oil (RPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO) were converted into BHK via hydrocracking reaction catalysed by Pd/AlO catalyst in pilot scale. Firstly, both of RPO and PKO were pretreated by thermal technique.

A Role of Newly Found Auxiliary Site in Phospholipase A from Thai Banded Tiger Wasp () in Its Enzymatic Enhancement: In Silico Homology Modeling and Molecular Dynamics Insights.

Phospholipase A from Thai banded tiger wasp venom also known as Ves a 1 plays an essential role in fatal vespid allergy. Ves a 1 becomes an important therapeutic target for toxin remedy. However, established Ves a 1 structure or a mechanism of Ves a 1 function were not well documented.

A novel process for biodiesel production from sludge palm oil.

Typically, sludge palm oil (SPO) which discharged from the palm oil refining process, is a low cost material of potential value, due to its high free fatty acid content. Accordingly, there is potential for upgrading low grade oil into valuable biofuel. In this work, we present a novel method for biodiesel production from SPO.

Cost-effective defined medium for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates using agricultural raw materials.

According to the cost of carbon substrate for producing biopolymer of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) still has a barrier to extend in an industrial scale. The aim of this work was to evaluate the defined PHAs media containing the agricultural raw materials of pineapple and sugarcane to produce PHAs by Bacillus strain. Batch fermentation was carried out in flask scale to compare the efficiency of defined media using statistical methodology.

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A.

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related gene A (MICA), a ligand for the activating immunoreceptor natural killer group 2D (NKG2D), is expressed on stressed cells such as tumor cells. Study of expression of this molecule on tumor cells and patients' sera is useful to define patients' stages leading to proper selection of therapy. In this study, mouse anti-MICA monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were produced by DNA immunization using a gene gun.

Effect of the maternal betaE-globin gene on hematologic responses to iron supplementation during pregnancy.

Background: It is customary in Southeast Asia to treat pregnant anemic women with iron supplements, but anemia in this region may be complicated by thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies, which lead to an ineffective response.

Objective: The aim was to determine whether routine iron supplementation during pregnancy in this area, which has a high prevalence of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies, is an effective control strategy for iron deficiency anemia.

Design: A prospective study was conducted.

Thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies rather than iron deficiency are major causes of pregnancy-related anemia in northeast Thailand.

A cross-sectional prevalence study of anemia was undertaken on 412 pregnant women in northeast Thailand during January 2003 to May 2004. With standardized diagnostic protocols and the CDC criteria of anemia [hemoglobin (Hb) < 11 g/dl at < or = 12 weeks of gestation and Hb < 10.5 g/dl at < or = 20 weeks of gestation], 71 (17.
