    Abstract Purpose: This review systematically explores and summarise the effects of motor imagery training (MIT) compared to conventional therapy on gait performance in individuals after stroke.
    Materials and methods: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were systematically searched in five electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, OVID Nursing and CINAHL) from inception to 30 December 2022. Studies investigating MITs, targeted at individuals after stroke were eligible. Data were extracted related to study and intervention characteristics.
    Results: Sixteen studies were included. Compared with 'routine methods of treatment or training', the meta-analyses showed that MIT was more effective in improving cadence immediately post intervention (SMD: 1.22, 95% CI: 0.59, 1.85,
    Conclusions: MIT effectively improved gait performance. The findings in individuals after stroke remain inconclusive due to significant heterogeneity in included studies.

    Abstract Harris County, TX, is the third most populous county in the USA and upon detection of arboviruses Harris County Public Health applies insecticides (e.g., pyrethroid-based Permanone 31-66) against adults of Culex quinquefasciatus to prevent disease transmission. Populations of Aedes aegypti, while not yet a target of public health control, are likely affected by pyrethroid exposure. As this species is a vector of emerging arboviruses, its resistance status to Permanone and the kdr mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) associated with pyrethroid resistance were investigated. We examined females of known genotype at the V1016I and F1534C sites (N = 716) for their genotype at the 410 amino acid position in the VGSC, and for the influence of their kdr genotype on survival to Permanone at three different distances from the insecticide source in field tests. Most females (81.8%) had at least one resistant L allele at the 410 position, being the first report of the V410L mutation in Ae. aegypti for Texas. When only genotypes at the 410 position were analyzed, the LL genotype exhibited higher survivorship than VL or VV. Out of 27 possible tri-locus kdr genotypes only 23 were found. Analyses of the probability of survival of tri-locus genotypes and for the V410L genotype using a multivariate logistic regression model including area, distance, and genotype found significant interactions between distance and genotype. When only the most common tri-locus genotypes were analyzed (LL/II/CC, 48.2%; VL/II/CC, 19.1%; and VV/II/CC, 10.1%) genotype had no effect on survival, but significant interactions of distance and genotype were found. This indicated that the V410L kdr allele increased survival probability at certain distances. Genotypes did not differ in survivorship at 7.62-m, but LL/II/CC had higher survivorship than VL/II/CC at 15.24- and 22.86-m. The model also identified differences in survivorship among the operational areas investigated.

    Abstract Background: Intravasation during transvaginal 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TVS 4D-HyCoSy) may lead to false-negative results in tubal patency evaluation. Although the influencing factors associated with intravasation have been investigated, some factors are only identified during 4D-HyCoSy, thus currently no studies on preventing intravasation. However, several preprocedural features can be collected in advance, which may be valuable in predicting intravasation.
    Objective: The purpose of this study is to establish a nomogram incorporating the preprocedural features to predict the risk of intravasation before TVS 4D-HyCoSy.
    Methods: The data of 276 infertile women with patent fallopian tubes were analyzed retrospectively. They were assigned to the study group (n = 62) and the control group (n = 214) according to the development of intravasation. The preprocedural characteristics were collected to investigate the predictors independently associated with intravasation, which were then served as the construction of a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was verified internally.
    Results: History of uterine curettage (
    Conclusion: The nomogram incorporating the preprocedural characteristics achieved a net benefit for clinical decision-making when the estimated risk was less than 50%. It is recommended to change the examination schedule for patients with an estimated risk greater than 50% and perform 4D-HyCoSy when the risk is less than 50%.

    Abstract It aimed to explore the adoption value of cuprous oxide nanoparticles (Cu2O NPs) in the clinical treatment of cervical cancer under the evaluation of real-time ultrasound elastography. In this experiment, the solution of Cu2O NPs was synthesized and used in 90 selected mouse models of cervical cancer. It was found that Cu2O NPs can significantly control the reproduction of various types of cervical cancer cells, effectively stopping the cycle of cervical cancer cell lines in the G1/G0 phase. In addition, the tumor weight of 0.25g in the Cu2O NPs group was notably lighter than that of 1.1g in the control group. The weight change of the mouse was 21g compared with 15g of the cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (CDDP) group, and it was proved that Cu2O NPs were less cytotoxic to the body and have few side effects. Moreover, real-time ultrasound elastography showed that there were 26 cases with a tumor elasticity score no less than 2 in the Cu2O NPs group, accounting for 87%, which was better than that of the CDDP group (17 cases, 57%), and the difference was substantial (P<0.05). The shear wave velocity of Cu2O NPs (1.46±0.48 m/s) was also lower than that (1.73±0.62 m/s) of the CDDP group, which suggested that the tumor body hardness of mice in the Cu2O NPs group was lower, and the difference was considerable (P<0.05). In short, Cu2O NPs had good functions such as inhibiting the proliferation and spread of tumor cells and blocking the cell cycle. Moreover, the toxic and side effects of the drug were slight, and it was an ideal new type of treatment for cervical cancer.

    Abstract Introduction: Measuring in vivo degradation for polymeric scaffolds is critical for analysis of biocompatibility. Traditionally, histology has been used to estimate mass loss in scaffolds, allowing for simultaneous evaluation of mass loss and the biologic response to the implant. Oxidatively degradable shape memory polyurethane (SMP) foams have been implemented in two vascular occlusion devices: peripheral embolization device (PED) and neurovascular embolization device (NED). This work explores the errors introduced when using histological sections to evaluate mass loss.
    Methods: Models of the SMP foams were created to mimic the device geometry and the tetrakaidekahedral structure of the foam pore. These models were degraded in Blender for a wide range of possible degradation amounts and the mass loss was estimated using m sections.
    Results: As the number of sections (m) used to estimate mass loss for a volume increased the sampling error decreased and beyond m = 5, the decrease in error was insignificant. NED population and sampling errors were higher than for PED scenarios. When m ≥ 5, the averaged sampling error was below 1.5% for NED and 1% for PED scenarios.
    Discussion/conclusion: This study establishes a baseline sampling error for estimating randomly degraded porous scaffolds using a sectional method. Device geometry and the stage of mass loss influence the sampling error. Future studies will use non-random degradation to further investigate in vivo mass loss scenarios.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) exposure has been considered a key dangerous factor in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The dysfunction of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) facilitates lung inflammation and fibrosis in COPD. Therefore, we explored whether PM2.5 could promote the inflammatory response and fibrosis in ASMCs
    Methods: Wnt5a expression in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of COPD patients exposed to PM2.5 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Mice were intratracheally injected with PM2.5 and a Wnt5a antagonist (BOX5). ASMCs were transfected with
    Results: We found that the increase in Wnt5a expression in the BALF of COPD patients was positively correlated with the levels of PM2.5 exposure. The Wnt5a/JNK/NF-κB pathway was activated in the lung samples of PM2.5-induced model mice and PM2.5-exposed ASMCs, which promoted the production of α-SMA, collagen I and collagen III and increased the secretion of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α. Furthermore, our results showed that BOX5 could prevent these effects.
    Conclusions: These findings suggest that PM2.5 stimulation of ASMCs induces pulmonary inflammatory factor expression and collagen deposition during COPD via the Wnt5a/JNK pathway, which indicates that modulating the Wnt5a/JNK pathway could be a promising therapeutic strategy for PM2.5-induced COPD.
