    Abstract In this paper, we propose the iterative numerical methods to calculate the conformal preimage domains for the specified logarithmic spiral slit regions and develop the applications of conformal mappings in the simulations of the flow around bodies. Firstly, we postulate that the boundaries of the preimage domains mapped onto logarithmic spiral slits are ellipses. The lengths of the long axes of ellipses and the coordinates of the centers are calculated using our iterative methods. Secondly, each type of the presented iterative method calculates numerical conformal mappings via solving the boundary integral equation with the generalized Neumann kernel. Finally, numerical examples show the convergence and availability of our iterative methods and display the simulations of the flow around the bodies as an application.

    Abstract Background: Acupuncture involving the limb region may be effective for stroke rehabilitation clinically, but the visualised and explanatory evidence is limited. Our objectives were to assess the specific effects of acupuncture for ischaemic stroke (IS) patients with hemiparesis and investigate its therapy-driven modification in functional connectivity.
    Methods: IS patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive 10 sessions of hand-foot 12 needles acupuncture (HA, n=30) or non-acupoint (NA) acupuncture (n=16), enrolling gender-matched and age-matched healthy controls (HCs, n=34). The clinical outcomes were the improved Fugl-Meyer Assessment scores including upper and lower extremity (ΔFM, ΔFM-UE, ΔFM-LE). The neuroimaging outcome was voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC). Static and dynamic functional connectivity (sFC, DFC) analyses were used to study the neuroplasticity reorganisation.
    Results: 46 ISs (mean(SD) age, 59.37 (11.36) years) and 34 HCs (mean(SD) age, 52.88 (9.69) years) were included in the per-protocol analysis of clinical and neuroimaging. In clinical, ΔFM scores were 5.00 in HA group and 2.50 in NA group, with a dual correlation between ΔFM and ΔVMHC (angular: r=0.696, p=0.000; cerebellum: r=-0.716, p=0.000) fitting the linear regression model (R
    Conclusions: The randomised clinical and neuroimaging trial demonstrated acupuncture could promote the motor recovery and modified cerebro-cerebellar VMHC via bilateral static and dynamic reorganisations for IS patients with hemiparesis.

    Abstract This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted roles of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in leukemia, focusing on their interactions within the bone marrow microenvironment and their impact on leukemia pathogenesis, progression, and treatment resistance. MSCs, characterized by their ability to differentiate into various cell types and modulate the immune system, are integral to the BM niche, influencing hematopoietic stem cell maintenance and functionality. This review extensively explores the intricate relationship between MSCs and leukemic cells in acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This review also addresses the potential clinical applications of MSCs in leukemia treatment. MSCs' role in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, their antitumor effects, and strategies to disrupt chemo-resistance are discussed. Despite their therapeutic potential, the dual nature of MSCs in promoting and inhibiting tumor growth poses significant challenges. Further research is needed to understand MSCs' biological mechanisms in hematologic malignancies and develop targeted therapeutic strategies. This in-depth exploration of MSCs in leukemia provides crucial insights for advancing treatment modalities and improving patient outcomes in hematologic malignancies.

    Abstract [Objective] In the new economic development era, actively integrating into regional innovation networks has become an important way for cities to obtain external innovation resources and enhance their independent innovation capabilities. This study aimed to reveal the spatiotemporal patterns and mechanisms of change of collaborative innovation in the Yangtze River Delta region from a network perspective, and put forward policy recommendations for regional innovation space optimization and high-quality development. [Methods] Based on the co-application data of invention patents, the intercity collaborative innovation networks of 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta region were constructed for six periods from 2010 to 2020. The characteristics of change of the regional collaborative innovation networks were further investigated through network descriptive analysis and the underlying endogenous and exogenous driving forces were explored through the temporal exponential random graph models. [Results] (1) The intercity collaborative innovation networks in the Yangtze River Delta presented the co-existence of hierarchical structures and clustering structures, as well as remote trans-local linkages and proximate local linkages. Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing were always the top three in terms of innovation collaboration, and the innovation corridor along Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, and Ningbo became evident. Regional collaboration clusters were highly coupled with administrative divisions and gradually evolved into three communities bounded with provincial boundaries and centered on the cities with high administrative levels, i.e., Jiangsu-Shanghai community, Zhejiang local community, and Anhui local community. Except for Hefei, the development of cities in Anhui Province was more localized and marginalized. (2) The scale and strength of networks increased gradually while the overall change of the networks was stable. The overall structural similarity between the current network and its previous network ...

    Abstract The dysfunction and defects of ion channels are associated with many human diseases, especially for loss-of-function mutations in ion channels such as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator mutations in cystic fibrosis. Understanding ion channels is of great current importance for both medical and fundamental purposes. Such an understanding should include the ability to predict mutational effects and describe functional and mechanistic effects. In this work, we introduce an approach to predict mutational effects based on kinetic information (including reaction barriers and transition state locations) obtained by studying the working mechanism of target proteins. Specifically, we take the Ca
