Although electronic nose (eNose) has been intensively investigated for diagnosing lung cancer, cross-site validation remains a major obstacle to be overcome and no studies have yet been performed.
Article
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients with sepsis, and early detection and timely treatment are crucial. This article aims to explore the clinical role of microRNA-155 (miR-155) in ear...

Herpetospermum pedunculosum (Ser.) C. B. Clarke is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that heavily relies on the lignans found in its dried ripe seeds (Herpetospermum caudigerum), which have antioxidant and h...
Article
Giardiasis is a common intestinal infection caused by Giardia duodenalis, which is a major economic and health burden for humans and livestock. Currently, a convenient and effective detection method is urgently n...
Article
In this paper, we introduce a curvilinear coordinate transformation to study the bifurcation of periodic solutions from a 2-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system, when it is perturbed in
Article
Granular chain serves as a fundamental component for controlling the nonlinear solitary wave propagation in acoustic metamaterials. The understanding of the nonlinear scattering at the mismatched interface pla...
Article
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is a formidable pathogen responsible for severe intracranial infections post-craniotomy, exhibiting a mortality rate as high as 71%. Tigecycline (T...
Article
Rising energy demand has forced to look for new ways to convert energy. Graphene quantum dots (GQD) has received extensive attention in many fields due to their low toxicity, abundant active sites, sound water...
Article
During the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), pancreatic islets, especially the β cells, face significant challenges. These insulin-producing cells adopt a regeneration strategy t...
Article
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are often co-morbid with unprovoked seizures, making clinical diagnosis and management difficult. Although it has an important role in both AD and epilepsy, abnormal γ-am...
Article
Although the treatment of abdominal wall desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) has evolved over the past decades, surgical treatment remains an important approach. Previously, surgeries for abdominal DF were mostly p...
Article
Ni/Mo composite coating was prepared by laser cladding on copper surface to improve wear resistance. Because the melting point of Mo is 2620 °C, the range of available laser parameters is small, high laser pow...
Article
The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is an efficient solution method for block separable convex programming. To enhance the robustness of the method, the proximal technique is introduced into...
Article
Pseudo-protein is a novel synthetic biodegradeable material that has amino acids as the basic structural unit. Unlike protein, this polymer has other linking groups in addition to peptide bonds in their struct...
Article
A strong correlation between gut microbes and host health has been observed in numerous gut metagenomic cohort studies. However, the underlying mechanisms governing host–microbe interactions in the gut remain ...
Article
Cancer cells alter their metabolism and epigenetics to support cancer progression. However, very few modulators connecting metabolism and epigenetics have been uncovered. Here, we reveal that serine hydroxymet...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Electric-field coupled bidirectional wireless power transfer system is suitable for grid, electric vehicles or battery storage devices, enabling energy interaction between them. In the practical application of...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The increasing traffic “big data” brings new challenges to traffic management innovation and puts forward new requirements for traffic management. Traffic information construction will inevitably step into the...
Chapter
Master four properties (cold, hot, warm, and cool) and five flavors (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty), four directions (ascending, descending, floating, and sinking), meridian entry, toxicity, and indi...
