    Abstract Abstract The Silver Wings: Local Society and Cultural Changes in China (1920s–1980s) is a representative ethnographic work since the reconstruction of Chinese anthropology in the late 1970s. It used the perspective of cultural change to make a return visit to the field sites described in the book “The Golden Wing”. What is most academic valuable about the book is its methodological implications. To be specific, the book refers to the concept of “culture” in Chinese historical documents, putting the issues examined into the framework of the relationship between state and local society in the long course of Chinese history. In the field work, the author’s use of intuitive research methods and the look-back method is also commendable. If we want to understand this book exactly, it is best to combine the two films the author made, Dragon Boat Festival and winter solstice, because they form a semantic chain. In short, The Silver Wings is an excellent work of anthropology, it had lead Chinese cultural anthropology into a new historical period.

    Abstract In this article, we have examined the effect of acupoint injection of mecobalamin on the nerve function of the lower limbs of stroke patients by giving acupoint injection of mecobalamin for 2 weeks in patients with stroke, effectively fusing acupuncture, acupoints, and drugs in traditional Chinese medicine to rehabilitate the effect of motor function and activities of daily living. For this purpose, a total of 60 study cases will be screened in the study. They are randomly divided into experimental group and control group: the control group will be treated with conventional stroke treatment and nursing, and the experimental group will be treated with bilateral acupoint injection of mecobalamin; once a day, after 14 days of continuous injection, we observed and intervened the lower limb nerve function, motor function, and activities of daily living of the two groups before and after the treatment and statistically analyzed the data so as to obtain the clinical effect of the treatment on the lower limb rehabilitation of stroke patients. Before the intervention, the general information and basic clinical data of the two groups of subjects were collected for baseline comparison, and the differences between the two groups of subjects' lower limb nerve function, motor function and activities of daily living before the intervention were compared. Comparison of lower limb neurological deficits mainly include comparison between groups and comparison within groups. Comparison of lower limb motor function mainly include comparison between groups and comparison within groups. (1) Acupoint injection of mecobalamin therapy and simple stroke rehabilitation therapy have good results. (2) Acupoint injection of mecobalamin can improve the neurological deficits of the lower limbs of stroke patients more than simple conventional stroke therapy, and it also has a rehabilitation effect in nourishing the nerves, improving circulation, and protecting the brain. (3) Point-injection mecobalamin therapy is more effective than conventional stroke therapy in improving the motor function of the lower limbs and promoting the rehabilitation of the lower limbs of patients with ischemic stroke. (4) Acupoint injection of mecobalamin therapy can improve the activities of daily living of patients with ischemic stroke and improve the quality of life of patients compared with conventional stroke therapy alone.

    Abstract Bone consists of organic (mostly collagen) and inorganic (mostly bioapatite mineral) components that are organized into hierarchical structures from nano-to macro-scales that provide load-bearing functions. The structures and properties of bone are affected by bone remodeling activities, which are affected by mechanotransduction, a process through which mechanical signals are converted to biochemical signals in cellular signaling. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technique can be used to characterize the surface morphology and mechanical properties of the specimens and can achieve atomic resolution in the resulting images. Therefore, the AFM technique has been applied in bone research and has provided new understandings of the structures and properties of hierarchical structures in bone across multiple length scales. This review begins by introducing the tip-surface interactions and the operation modes of AFM, including the recently developed sub-resonance modes, including PeakForce Tapping mode. Then the contact adhesion theories used in analyzing AFM data are reviewed, followed by a systematic review of the applications of the AFM technique to bone and bone-related tissues and cells, including surface morphology imaging, contact indentation testing, and other mechanical tests. The applications of sub-resonance tapping mode to bone and other biological molecules, cells, and tissues are also reviewed.

    Abstract In the realm of robotics and automation, robot teleoperation, which facilitates human-machine interaction in distant or hazardous settings, has surged in significance. A persistent issue in this domain is the delays between command issuance and action execution, causing negative repercussions on operator situational awareness, performance, and cognitive load. These delays, particularly in long-distance operations, are difficult to mitigate even with the most advanced computing advancements. Current solutions mainly revolve around machine-based adjustments to combat these delays. However, a notable lacuna remains in harnessing human perceptions for an enhanced subjective teleoperation experience. This paper introduces a novel approach of sensory manipulation for induced human adaptation in delayed teleoperation. Drawing from motor learning and rehabilitation principles, it is posited that strategic sensory manipulation, via altered sensory stimuli, can mitigate the subjective feeling of these delays. The focus is not on introducing new skills or adapting to novel conditions; rather, it leverages prior motor coordination experience in the context of delays. The objective is to reduce the need for extensive training or sophisticated automation designs. A human-centered experiment involving 41 participants was conducted to examine the effects of modified haptic cues in teleoperations with delays. These cues were generated from high-fidelity physics engines using parameters from robot-end sensors or physics engine simulations. The results underscored several benefits, notably the considerable reduction in task time and enhanced user perceptions about visual delays. Real-time haptic feedback, or the anchoring method, emerged as a significant contributor to these benefits, showcasing reduced cognitive load, bolstered self-confidence, and minimized frustration. Beyond the prevalent methods of automation design and training, this research underscores induced human adaptation as a pivotal avenue in robot teleoperation. It seeks to enhance teleoperation efficacy through rapid human adaptation, offering insights beyond just optimizing robotic systems for delay compensations.

    Abstract The residue remaining after oil extraction from grape seed contain abundant procyanidins. An ultrasonic-assisted enzyme method was performed to achieve a high extraction efficiency of procyanidins when the optimal extraction conditions were 8 U/g of cellulase, ultrasound power of 200 W, ultrasonic temperature of 50 ℃, and ultrasonic reaction time of 40 min. The effects of free procyanidins on both radical scavenging activity and thermal stability at 40, 60, and 80 ℃ of the procyanidins-loaded liposomal systems prepared by the ultrasonic-assisted method were discussed. The presence of procyanidins at concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 0.10 mg/mL was observed to be effective at inhibiting lipid oxidation by 15.15 % to 69.70 % in a linoleic acid model system during reaction for 168 h, as measured using the ferric thiocyanate method. The procyanidins-loaded liposomal systems prepared by the ultrasonic-assisted method were characterized by measuring the mean particle size and encapsulation efficiency. Moreover, the holographic plots showed that the effect-response points of procyanidins combined with α-tocopherol in liposomes were lower than the addition line and 95 % confidence interval limits. At the same time, there were significant differences between the theoretical IC

    Abstract Disruption of iron homeostasis plays a negative role in follicle development. The dynamic changes in follicle growth are dependent on Hippo/YAP signaling and mechanical forces. However, little is known about the liaison between iron overload and the Hippo/YAP signalling pathway in term of folliculogenesis. Here, based on the available evidence, we established a hypothesized model linking excessive iron, extracellular matrix (ECM), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and Hippo/Yes-associated protein (YAP) signal regarding follicle development. Hypothetically, the TGF-β signal and iron overload may play a synergistic role in ECM production via YAP. We speculate that the dynamic homeostasis of follicular iron interacts with YAP, increasing the risk of ovarian reserve loss and may enhance the sensitivity of follicles to accumulated iron. Hence, therapeutic interventions targeting iron metabolism disorders, and Hippo/YAP signal may alter the consequences of the impaired developmental process based on our hypothesis, which provides potential targets and inspiration for further drug discovery and development applied to clinical treatment.

    Abstract Mass spectrometry analysis has been applied in many important diagnostic fields of laboratory medicine. However, there is little literature to guide quality management systems for LC-MS/MS methods. In this study, LC-MS/MS 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was used as an example to establish internal quality control strategies to ensure the accuracy of clinical vitamin D results. A total of 141 batches of samples were analyzed. Sample internal standard peak area variability, ion pair ratio, and physical examination population data were monitored as quality control strategies for 25(OH)D results. The analytical performance was evaluated by calculated Sigma metrics. Applying our quality control strategies, several abnormal data were monitored in the routine analysis. The daily peak area CV of 25(OH)D fluctuated within a certain range. By selecting P99 CV as the control target, two abnormal batches were found. The ratio of 25(OH)VD3 ion pairs was relatively stable. Among them, batch20230120 had a high CV value, which may be due to the bias caused by the limited number. According to the physical examination data, batch20220913 and batch20220919 exceeded the alarm limit. Sigma level of 25(OH)VD3 in the laboratory was 6.52, which achieved "excellent" performance. In conclusion, we established comprehensive quality control strategies for the determination of 25(OH)D by LC-MS/MS, which has high analytical performance and can provide more accurate reports for the clinic.

    Abstract In the process of marketization, the lack of redundancy evaluation of the MSW incineration treatment capacity leads to the regional imbalance of treatment capacity and waste of resources. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a spatial-temporal redundancy evaluation method for the MSW incineration treatment capacity based on the accurate MSW generation prediction using artificial intelligence. To achieve this aim, this study first proposed and finalized a prediction model of the provincial MSW generation by applying the artificial neuron network (ANN) technology and using the statistical data of Jiangsu Province of China from 1990 to 2020. In the finalized model, the input variables consist of three demographic variables, three social variables, and five economic variables; the model structure that includes four hidden layers and 16 neurons in each hidden layer performed best with a coefficient of determination (R
