Little is known about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) at different stages of the pandemic. This study aims to assess the lives and disease status of PD patients during the zero-COVID policy period and after ending the zero-COVID policy. This multicenter cross-sectional study included two online surveys among PD patients in China, from...

Whether slim the face or not after removed third molars is the concern of some orthodontic treatment candidates. The aim of this article is to explore the volume changes of facial soft and hard tissues after third molars extraction, as well as develop a reproducible clinical protocol to precisely assess facial soft tissue volume change. A non-randomized, non-blind, self...

Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of monogenic diseases characterized by disordered innate immunity, which causes excessive activation of inflammatory pathways. Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor 12-related autoinflammatory disease (NLRP12-AID) is a newly identified SAID and a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the...
Realistic simulation and accurate prediction of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is still a challenge. One fundamental obstacle is the so-called spring predictability barrier (SPB), which features a low predictive skill of the ENSO with prediction across boreal spring. Our observational analysis shows that the leading empirical orthogonal function mode of the seasonal Niño3.4...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease with multiple etiological factors, among which aberrant memory CD4 T cells activation plays a key role in the initiation and perpetuation of the disease. SIGIRR (single immunoglobulin IL-1R-related receptor), a member of the IL-1 receptor (ILR) family, acts as a negative regulator of ILR and Toll-like receptor (TLR...
Photoacoustic Doppler flow measurement based on continuous wave laser excitation owns the merit of clearly presenting the Doppler power spectra. Extending this technique to dual wavelengths can gain the spectral information of the flow sample extra to the flow speed information. An experimental system with two laser diodes respectively operated at 405 nm and 660 nm wavelengths is...
The time of survival in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) varies greatly, and the genetic factors that contribute to the survival of ALS are not well studied. There is a lack of a comprehensive study to elucidate the role of genetic factors in the survival of ALS. The published studies were systematically searched and obtained from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane...
Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) is one of the major redox regulators in mammalian cells, which has been reported to be involved in tumorigenesis. However, its roles and regulatory mechanism underlying the progression of HCC remains poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that TXNRD1 was significantly upregulated in HCC tumor tissues and correlated with poor survival in...

Train-track interaction (TTI) is a classic research topic in railway engineering, which consists of three main parts, namely, train model, track model, and wheel-rail interaction. To improve the computational accuracy and broaden the application range, an alternative calculation method to investigate TTI based on secondary development technology of the commercial software ANSYS...
In this study, femtosecond laser assisted-chemical vapor infiltration (LA-CVI) was employed to produce C/SiC composites with 1, 3, and 5 rows of mass transfer channels. The effect of laser machining power on the quality of produced holes was investigated. The results showed that the increase in power yielded complete hole structures. The as-obtained C/SiC composites with...
Metastasis is the main factor of treatment failure in cancer patients, but the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated and effective new treatment strategies are urgently needed. This study aims to explore novel key metastasis-related microRNAs (miRNAs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). By comparing miRNA profiles of the highly metastatic ESCC cell sublines, we...
