    Abstract Considering the complexity of physiological microenvironments and the risks of surgical infection, there still remains critical demand to develop a hydrogel as a drug release platform with multifunctional properties, including good neutral stability and sensitive multiple stimuli-responsive behaviors, as well as injectable and self-healing properties. Herein, we present a facile preparation of injectable, self-healing hydrogels with acid and glutathione (GSH) dual-responsiveness for controlled drug delivery. Initially, the anticancer drug camptothecin (CPT) was premodified with disulfide bonds and attached to poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) via the Schiff base reaction, resulting in PEI-CPT. Subsequently, OSA-IR780 was synthesized through the Schiff base reaction involving IR780 with amine groups (IR780-NH

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the efficacy, safety, and long-term implications of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a viable therapeutic option for patients with upper limb dysfunction following a stroke.
    Methods: Data from the following libraries were searched from inception to December 2022: PubMed, Wanfang, Scopus, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Embase, Web of Science, China Biology Medicine Disc, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Outcomes included indicators of upper limb motor function, indicators of prognosis, and indicators of safety (incidence of adverse events [AEs] and serious AEs [SAEs]). Two of the authors extracted the data independently. A third researcher arbitrated when disputes occurred. The quality of each eligible study was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Meta-analysis and bias analysis were performed using Stata (version 16.0) and RevMan (version 5.3).
    Results: Ten trials (VNS combined with rehabilitation group vs. no or sham VNS combined with rehabilitation group) with 335 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Regarding upper extremity motor function, based on Fugl-Meyer assessment scores, VNS combined with other treatment options had immediate (mean difference [MD] = 2.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.78-3.91,
    Conclusion: VNS is an effective and safe treatment for upper extremity motor dysfunction after a stroke. For the functional restoration of the upper extremities, noninvasive integrated therapy and lower-frequency VNS may be more effective. In the future, further high-quality studies with larger study populations, more comprehensive indicators, and thorough data are required to advance the clinical application of VNS.

    Abstract Detonation waves will bypass a wave shaper and propagate in the form of a horn wave in shaped charge. Horn waves can reduce the incidence angle of a detonation wave on a liner surface and collide with each other at the charge axis to form overdriven detonation. Detection electronic components of small-caliber terminal sensitive projectile that are limited by space are often placed inside a wave shaper, which will cause the wave shaper to no longer be uniform and dense, and weaken the ability to adjust detonation waves. In this article, we design a double-layer shaped charge (DLSC) with a high-detonation-velocity explosive in the outer layer and low-detonation-velocity explosive in the inner layer. Numerical and experimental simulation are combined to compare and analyze the forming process and penetration performance of explosively formed projectile (EFP) in DLSC and ordinary shaped charge (OSC). The results show that, compared with OSC, DLSC can also adjust and optimize the shape of the detonation wave when the wave shaper performance is poor. DLSC can obtain long rod EFPs with a large length-diameter ratio, which greatly improves the penetration performance of EFP.

    Abstract Chronic low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue (AT) is a hallmark of obesity and contributes to various metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Inflammation in ATs is characterized by macrophage infiltration and the activation of inflammatory pathways mediated by NF-κB, JNK, and NLRP3 inflammasomes. Adipokines, hepatokines and myokines - proteins secreted from AT, the liver and skeletal muscle play regulatory roles in AT inflammation

    Abstract In order to explore the dynamic characteristics of the mechanical seal under different fault degrees, this paper selected the upstream pumping mechanical seal as the object of study. The research established the rotating ring-fluid film-stationary ring 3D model, which was built to analyze the fault mechanism. To study extrusion fault mechanism and characteristics, different dynamic parameters were used in the analysis process. Theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, and comparison were conducted to study the relationship between the fault degree and dynamic characteristics. It is the first time to research the dynamic characteristics of mechanical seals in the specific extrusion fault. This paper proved feasibility and effectiveness of the new analysis method. The fluid film thickness and dynamic characteristics could reflect the degree of the extrusion fault. Results show that the fluid film pressure fluctuation tends to be more intensive under the serious extrusion fault condition. The extrusion fault is more likely to occur when the fluid film thickness is too large or too small. Results illustrate the opening force is affected with the fluid film lubrication status and seal extrusion fault degrees. The fluid film stiffness would not always increase with the rotating speed growth. The seal fault would occur with the increasing of rotating speeds, and the leakage growth fluctuations could reflect the fault degree.

    Abstract With the purpose of providing an external human-machine interaction platform for the elderly in need, a novel facial surface electromyography based silent speech recognition system was developed. In this study, we propose a deep learning architecture named Parallel-Inception Convolutional Neural Network (PICNN), and employ up-to-date feature extraction method log Mel frequency spectral coefficients (MFSC). To better meet the requirements of our target users, a 100-class dataset containing daily life-related demands was designed and generated for the comparative experiments. According to experimental results, the highest recognition accuracy of 88.44% was achieved by proposed recognition framework based on MFSC and PICNN, exceeding the performance of state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms such as CNN, VGGNet and Inception CNN (3.22%, 4.09% and 1.19%, respectively). These findings suggest that the newly developed silent speech approach holds promise to provide a more reliable communication channel, and the application scenery of speech recognition technology has been expanded at the same time.

    Abstract Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been identified as critical regulators in a variety of cancer types. Cancer susceptibility candidate 15 (CASC15), a lncRNA located at chromosome 6p22.3, has been discovered to participate in melanoma progression and phenotype switching. Nevertheless, the roles and molecular mechanisms of CASC15 in melanoma are far from being understood. Results We found that CASC15 expression was up-regulated in melanoma tissues and associated with advanced pathological stages. Function experiments displayed that CASC15 knockdown hindered proliferation, facilitated apoptosis and suppressed invasion, while CASC15 overexpression facilitated proliferation and invasion in melanoma cells. Further mechanistic analysis showed that CASC15 epigenetically silenced the expression of programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) by recruiting EZH2 and increasing H3K27me3 level at the promoter region of PDCD4. Additionally, PDCD4 overexpression inhibited proliferation, enhanced apoptosis and decreased invasion of melanoma cells. Moreover, CASC15-knockdown-induced anti-cancer effects were abated by PDCD4 down-regulation. Furthermore, depletion of CASC15 blocked tumor growth of melanoma by up-regulating PDCD4 in vivo. Conclusions CASC15 acts as an oncogene by negatively regulating PDCD4 expression via recruiting EZH2 and subsequently increasing H3K27me3 level. Together, our study indicates that CASC15/EZH2/PDCD4 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for melanoma intervention.
