BackgroundCoronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) target vessels is increasingly recognized as a critical determinant of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, yet its prevalence and prognostic implications remain poorly characterized. We conducted a syste...

To elucidate Antheraea pernyi nucleopolyhedrovirus (ApNPV) ptp-2 gene characters, ApNPV ptp-2 gene was cloned using primers based on the sequence of ApNPV PstI-C fragment and then sub-cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pQE-30 to construct recombinant plasmid pQE-ptp-2. PTP-2 protein was induc...

We study the emergence of strong interactions between dissipative coherent structures (pulses) in spatially extended systems. Focusing first on a prototypical model problem from fluid dynamics, that of liquid film flowing down a vertical plane, we show that under certain conditions, a two-pulse syst...

Porous bone implants have been extensively studied, with gradient structures receiving increasing attention due to their superior compatibility with bone tissue. However, comparative studies between gradient and uniform structures remain relatively scarce. In this study, selective laser melting (SLM...

Bimanual teleoperation imposes cognitive and coordination demands on a single human operator tasked with simultaneously controlling two robotic arms. Although assigning each arm to a separate operator can distribute workload, it often leads to ambiguities in decision authority and degrades overall e...

Abstract Purpose Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) negatively impacts the reproductive system. Yet, the impact of water-insoluble PM2.5 (WI-PM2.5) particles and water-soluble PM2.5 (WS-PM2.5) extracts on male fertility is not fully elucidated. The current research is aimed to identify and analyze indi...

Nowadays, the Metaverse is facing many challenges. In this context, Virtual Reality (VR) applications allowing voice-based human–3D object interactions are limited due to the current hardware/software limitations. In fact, adopting Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) systems to interact with 3D objec...

Herba Siegesbeckiae (HS) has been traditionally used for managing cardio- and cerebro-vascular diseases. Our previous study demonstrated that HS ameliorates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Also, the differentially expressed proteins between HS and I/R groups were shown to be displayed...

Carboxylesterase is a multifunctional superfamily and can be found in almost all living organisms. As the metabolic enzymes, carboxylesterases are involved in insecticides resistance in insects for long time. In our previous studies, the enhanced carboxylesterase activities were found in the chloran...
