Background Fatty liver disease in the absence of excessive alcohol consumption is an increasingly common condition with a global prevalence of ~ 25–30% and is also associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since systemic metabolic dysfunction underlies its pathogenesis, the term metabolic (dysfu...

Background Little evidence exists on the relationship between heat and subtypes of stroke mortality, especially in China. Moreover, few studies have reported the effect modification by individual characteristics on heat-related stroke mortality. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of heat...

Our previous study demonstrated that the sigma-1 receptor is involved in methamphetamine-induced microglial apoptosis and death; however, whether the sigma-1 receptor is involved in microglial activation as well as the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remains poorly understood. The aim o...

Abstract For the first time, a configurable NbO x memristor is achieved that can be configured as an artificial synapse or neuron after fabrication by controlling the forming compliance current (FCC). When the FCC ≤ 2 mA, the memristors exhibit the resistive‐switching (RS) property, enabling multipl...

Abstract Magnetoelectric materials, which encompass coupled magnetic and electric polarizabilities within a single phase, hold great promises for magnetic controlled electronic components or electric-field controlled spintronics. However, the realization of ideal magnetoelectric materials remains to...

In order to solve the current problem of insufficient toughness of epoxy asphalt and immiscibility between resin and asphalt binder (not aged) in epoxy asphalt, nanomodifiers (GOs-CS-Ca2+) were prepared by a biomimetic mechanism from chitosan (CS), calcium ions (Ca2+), and graphene oxide nanoplatele...

OBJECTIVE: The electromyographic bridge (EMGB) detects surface electromyographic signals from a non-paretic limb. It then generates electric pulse trains according to the electromyographic time domain features, which can be used to stimulate a paralysed or paretic limb in real time. This strategy ca...

H4Nx avian influenza viruses (AIVs) have been isolated from wild birds and poultry and can also cross the species barrier to infect mammals (pigs and muskrats). The widespread presence of these viruses in wild birds and poultry and their ability to be transmitted interspecies make them an undeniable...

at 1200 °C, and remarkable mechanical robustness evidenced by interfacial shear strength of 43.7 MPa and compressive strength of 32.0 MPa at 95% strain. Our proposed MSC-SAs are ideal for thermal superinsulation materials capable of withstanding extreme environments, particularly in advanced defense...

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are limited by severe side effects, driving the development of selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators (SGRMs) with improved therapeutic profiles. We previously development the SGRM lead B53, which suffered from poor metabolic stability. In this study, structure-guided opt...

To explore the texture characteristics and corresponding skeleton features of the wearing layer, discrete element models with different gradations were established. The texture parameters and the mechanical behaviour of the skeleton were analysed. The results indicate that the texture parameters are...

The simulation of pavement texture in the wearing layer helps to evaluate the texture characteristics, which is crucial for enhancing skid resistance and ensuring road safety. To investigate the simulation methodology for real pavement texture profiles, the actual pavement surface was scanned and ad...
