In this paper, for the first time, we propose the use of a hybrid post equalizer in a high-order carrierless-amplitude-and-phase-modulation-based visible light communication (VLC) system. The hybrid equalizer consists of a linear equalizer, a Volterra-series-based nonlinear equalizer, and a decision...

Neuronal development orchestrates the formation of an enormous number of synapses that connect the nervous system. In developing presynapses, the core active zone structure has been found to assemble through liquid-liquid phase separation. Here, we find that the phase separation of Caenorhabditis el...

To investigate the differences in volatile flavor components of sauce-flavor (Jiangxiangxing) Baijiu in Guizhou regions with different altitude, the volatile flavor components were determined by gas chromatography (GC) and electronic nose technique. The results were systematically evaluated using pr...

ABSTRACT Primary aldosteronism (PA) is characterized by an overproduction of aldosterone, leading to hypertension and hypokalemia. Although surgery is an effective treatment for unilateral PA, some patients may be unwilling or unable to undergo this invasive procedure. This case report presents a 51...

<h4>Background</h4>Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is considered to be a worldwide issue along with the development of supportive ventilation. The preventing strategy is of great importance for its poor prognostic and difficulties in treatment. Probiotics have been advocated as one...

To evaluate the effects of naked oat cultivars on their phenolic contents and antioxidant activities, the oat seeds from 21 different cultivars in China were collected, and their major nutritional components, compositions of polyphenols, and antioxidant activities were measured. As the results, oat...

ABSTRACT Pathogenic fungi employ diverse strategies to undergo sexual reproduction. It was previously believed that the major human fungal pathogen Candida albicans must switch from the “sterile” white state to the mating-competent opaque state to mate. We recently reported that glucose depletion co...

We developed a microplate assay method for determining the contents of triacylglycerols (TAGs), phosphatidylcholines (PCs), and free fatty acids (FFAs) in the rice bran of one grain using enzymatic reactions. In this method, enzymes from commercially available kits were used. Optimum reaction condit...

Aim: To assess the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) combined with porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) on full-thickness skin injuries in rats. Methods: We established full-thickness skin injury models in Sprague–Dawley rats, dividing them into blank...
