Dispersion engineering of microresonators is very important for applications, such as optical comb generation which desires wideband flat and small dispersion. In this paper, dispersion investigation has been carried out for whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonators fabricated by laser micromach...

The need for integrated governance of water–energy–land–food (WELF) systems has become paramount in achieving sustainable low-carbon transitions, yet policy consistency across these interdependent sectors remains critically underexplored. This study presents the first systematic assessment of policy...

Mycoplasma often surreptitiously contaminates cell cultures without detection, mainly parasitizing the cell surface and thus interfering to some extent with the cells. Direct DNA staining of cell cultures often yields equivocal results and will only reliably detect heavily contaminated cultures. Int...

Recently, there has been a global rise in the burden of hyperuricemia and gout, attributed to socio-economic development and rapid urbanization. Emerging contaminants (ECs), associated with industrialization, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), persistent organic pollutants (POPs), pest...

Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, distinct from apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis, and is primarily mediated by gasdermin proteins and inflammatory caspases. Recent advances highlight the central role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis and progression of a spectrum of...

Fine-mesh netting, with mesh dimensions of the order of a few millimeters, is widely used in sampling nets for the collection of larval and juvenile fishes. The wave force characteristics of fine-mesh netting significantly affect the operational performance of these nets. This study employed both wa...

In the context of increasing global natural disasters, the 72-hour golden rescue window imposes three critical requirements on rapid construction technologies: timeliness, multi-hazard adaptability, and systemic support. Addressing the current research gap in validating the structural performance of...

A total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure performed in patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis that is refractory to conservative management. The use of polyethylene in prostheses has become the standard in many types of arthroplasties with improved longevity and increased patient satis...

A time-reversal imaging system for far-field super-resolution imaging of scatterers is proposed. First, a grating plate, similar to the optical far-field super lens, is designed to convert near-field evanescent waves to propagative waves with wavevector modulation. Then, the scattered signals are pr...

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicle (MSC-EV) has shown promise for pain relief, but its efficacy is limited. Preconditioning MSC with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) may enhance their therapeutic potential; however, the impact on analgesia and underlying mechanisms remains unclear. H...

ObjectiveAdvanced heart failure in children sometimes requires mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to transplantation, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remaining a critical option despite its associated risks. The pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) may have p...

Cancer vaccines mount specific immune memory responses and hold great potential in suppressing postoperative colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence. However, undesired lymph node trafficking and antigen cross-presentation hamper clinical translation of nanovaccines. Here, we propose a controllable trans...

Lupus nephritis is recognized as a common and severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, without an optimal therapeutic strategy currently available. While mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold therapeutic promise, their efficacy varies substantially, likely due to their plasticity and capaci...

<h4>Background</h4>Neuraxial application of dexmedetomidine (DEX) as adjuvant analgesic has been invetigated in some randomized controlled trials (RCTs) but not been approved because of the inconsistency of efficacy and safety in these RCTs. We performed this meta-analysis to access the...
