Artificial intelligence empowering the diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff tears

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is being developed for image acquisition, quantitative tissue assessment, diagnosis, and clinical prediction in rotator cuff tears. The breadth of this literature and its methodological limitations have not been integrated across the compl...

LAGS-YOLO: An End-to-End Low-Light Vehicle Detection Model with Luminance-Adaptive Glare Suppression

Vehicle detection under low-light conditions is a critical component of visual perception for Level 3+ autonomous vehicles. Under low-light conditions, existing detection methods are unable to simultaneously enhance illumination in dark areas and suppress overexposure from strong...

Calibration of Discrete Element Parameters for Ganoderma lucidum Spore Powder and Performance Optimization of Gas-Collecting Hood

The fine particle size of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder and the resulting low collection efficiency represent a prevalent challenge in the industry. To address this problem, a collection device for Ganoderma lucidum spore powder was designed in this study. The discrete element m...

Association between coffee consumption and oral and pharyngeal cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Oral and pharyngeal cancers are major contributors to global cancer-related morbidity and mortality, particularly in regions with high prevalence of tobacco, alcohol, and chewing-related exposures. Caffeine-containing beverages such as coffee and tea may influence carcinogenesis...

Engineered mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles overexpressing miR-146a alleviate neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer’s disease is an inflammatory neurodegenerative disease for which no effective clinical treatment currently exists. We have previously reported that mesenchymal stem cell–derived extracellular vesicles delay retinal degeneration by exerting anti-inflammatory effects thou...

Oxypaeoniflorin Attenuates Alcohol‐Associated Liver Disease, Potentially Involving TEAD4 ‐Mediated Inflammatory Signaling Cascades

ABSTRACT This study investigates the hepatoprotective effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of Oxypaeoniflorin (Opae) against alcohol‐associated liver disease (ALD). An in vivo ALD mouse model was established by chronic feeding of Lieber‐DeCarli EtOH‐containing liquid diets...

Variations and Early Selections of Growth Traits in Maternal Clones and Open-Pollinated Progeny Families from the Same Plus Trees of Tilia mandshurica

Tilia mandshurica is a multi-purpose tree species with high values for timber production, landscape ornamentation, and nectar yield. Growth traits serve as core evaluation indices for its genetic improvement, and clarifying the maternity–progeny genetic relationship is essential...

Dietary Supplementation of Auraptene, a Major Component in Citrus reticulata Blanco, Prevents Acute Liver Injury Associated with Apoptosis and Inflammation

Abstract Auraptene (AP), a coumarin derivative abundant in citrus peels, exhibits diverse bioactivities; however, its role in acute liver injury and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study investigates the hepatoprotective effects of AP against carbon tetrachloride (...

Simulation-Based Strategies for Surface Fire Prevention and Control in Wind-Damaged Zones of Changbai Mountain

Severe wind disturbances substantially alter forest structure and fuel spatial patterns, forming unique high-fire-risk forest environments. However, quantitative studies on post-recovery fire behavior and targeted fire prevention strategies in temperate wind-damaged forests remai...

A Recombinant RABV-G-Based Chemiluminescence Immunoassay for Quantitative Detection of Rabies Virus Antibodies

Background: Rabies is a nearly 100% fatal zoonosis, and a rabies virus-neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titre of ≥0.5 IU/mL is the recognized correlate of protection, making post-vaccination serological monitoring essential. However, the gold-standard methods (RFFIT and FAVN) are tim...

Early renal perfusion phenotypes and renal recovery in critically ill patients with or at risk for acute kidney injury: a prospective multicenter cohort study

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critical illness is heterogeneous, and conventional Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification may not capture early physiologic differences relevant to renal recovery. METHODS: Critically ill adults with or at risk f...

The Effect of Taurine on the Alkalinity Stress Resistance of Eriocheir sinensis

High alkalinity, a major stress in saline–alkaline water, often leads to oxidative damage and apoptosis. Taurine has been shown to enhance the tolerance of aquatic animals to environmental stress, but whether it can reduce toxicity of alkalinity on Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir...

Estimated glucose disposal rate and incident cardiovascular disease across ageing cohorts in China, England, and the United States: cross-national consistency and transportability

The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), an insulin-resistance surrogate derived from routine clinical variables, has been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined its association with incident CVD, cross-national transportability, and incremental discriminati...

Balanced Fire Safety and Mechanical Integrity in Thermoplastic Polyurethane via a Synergistic Ternary System of Hydromagnesite andMicroencapsulated Additives

ABSTRACT To mitigate the trade‐off between flame retardancy and mechanical performance in thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), an optimized ternary flame‐retardant formulation consisting of hydromagnesite (HM), microencapsulated red phosphorus (MRP), and microencapsulated expandable...

Design, Modeling and Performance Analysis of an Actively Variable Stiffness Pneumatic Flexible Bending Joint

The contradiction between high compliance and low load-bearing capacity of flexible manipulators limits their engineering applications. Meanwhile, the theoretical modeling of the deformation and variable stiffness characteristics of flexible joints still faces considerable challe...

Wholly bio-based hyperbranched waterborne polyurethane coatings reinforced with surface-engineered cellulose nanofibers for sustainable wood protection

Bio-based waterborne polyurethane (BWPU) coatings have drawn attention as renewable alternatives to petroleum-based wood finishes for Larix gmelinii , yet their mechanical strength, hardness, and barrier properties remain insufficient for demanding applications. In this work, cel...

Climatic Suitability of Cornus officinalis Across Paleoclimatic, Current, and Future Climates: Implications for Conservation and Climate-Informed Cultivation

Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. is a medicinal and ornamental woody plant whose distribution and production may be increasingly affected by climate change. This study assessed its climatic suitability under paleoclimatic, current, and future conditions to provide a climatic bas...

Ultra Broad Range Pressure Tunable CaZrO3:Ce3+ Luminescence for Multiparametric Manometry

Optical manometry is essential in diamond anvil cell experiments, motivating pressure-sensitive phosphors that provide robust broadband readouts over a wide pressure range. Here we report a Ce3+-activated CaZrO3 perovskite phosphor with a low dopant level of about 0.40 atom % Ce...

Laccase-Inspired Cu–POM Catalysts with Support-Regulated Interfaces for Oxidative Depolymerization of Lignin

Abstract Lignin is the only abundant renewable aromatic polymer in nature and is therefore an important feedstock for the sustainable production of aromatic chemicals and functional materials. Its selective depolymerization, however, remains difficult because of the structural he...
