CD20 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), particularly rituximab, have become a preferred treatment for many patients with phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)-related membranous nephropathy (MN). However, some patients either fail to respond to rituximab or experience adverse reactions, indicating that newer...

Bolt connections are the primary component of beam–column joints, which frequently become loose during their service life due to environmental factors. Assessing the tightness of bolts is essential for maintaining structural integrity and safety. Although the guided wave method has been proven effec...

The deep underground engineering will face high-temperature and ultrahigh-pressure (HTUP) condition. Indoor triaxial testing is an important means to investigate this challenge in rock mechanics and rock engineering. Heat-shrinkable tubing, as a seal on the rock surface, is crucial for reconstructin...

Abstract While the concept of high entropy has gained prominence in materials design, disentangling specific impacts of entropy on material properties from the enthalpy of mixing remains elusive. It is demonstrated that the role of entropy can be distinguished from the dynamics of glass‐forming liqu...

Background Although guidelines on physical activity recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate‐to‐vigorous exercise weekly for optimal health outcomes, the distinction between concentrated and evenly distributed activity patterns remains unclear. We explored the relationships between accelerometer‐m...

Abstract Postoperative pain remains a significant challenge in healthcare. Electroacupuncture (EA) has gained polarity in helping manage surgical pain and showed beneficial effects on enhancing postoperative analgesia, decreasing opioid requirement. Despite this, the precise mechanisms underlying th...
