The research progress of depression status in patients with BPH (2016)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common chronic disease in the elderly which seriously impact the quality of life of elderly men. Patients are prone to anxiety and depression as a result of disease.This paper reviews the epidemiological studies of depression in patients with BPH, and introduces the survey tools and the relationship between the depression status in patients with BPH and the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) complicated with BPH. Studies showed that the incidence of depression in patients with BPH is higher than the general population, and the incidence of depression is as high as 22.4%, what′s more, the severity of depressive symptoms is most highly correlated with the severity of disease.The more serious of the LUTS, the higher of the incidence of depression is, and the more serious of the depression level is.

Design Rationale and Clinical Evaluation of Total Knee Arthroplasty Reproducing Anatomic Geometry for Asian (2012)

Aims Recently, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been generalized as an operation that achieves excellent clinical results. However, younger and Asian patients require even greater implant longevity and functional performance. We hypothesized a novel posterior cruciate-retaining TKA design that restores the anatomical jointline in both sagittal and coronal planes, maintains the femoral posterior condylar offset, and provides low contact stress would provide enhanced patient function with the potential for greater implant longevity. Methods The novel TKA design was created based on geometry determined from anatomic specimens, 3-degree step of femorotibial jointline was incorporated in the TKA design for Asian. The novel TKA has an asymmetrical design between the medial and lateral femoral condyle, the medial femoral condyle designed to be 3 degrees larger than the lateral femoral condyle. It refined using finite element analyses (FEA) to minimize peak contact stresses. The alignment evaluation after TKA was performed using using bidirectional CR and CT images. Femorotibial-angle (FTA), the position of the femoral component relative to the 3D mechanical axis, and the rotational alignment of the femoral component relative to the PC line were evaluated before and after TKA to identify changes in the femoral condylar shape. The kinematic evaluation after TKA was performed using a 3D-to-2D model registration technique. Single-plane fluoroscopic imaging was used to record and quantify the motions of knees during a stair-step activity. The contact points between the tibiofemoral motions and the tibial rotational angle were evaluated. Results FEA showed peak von Mises stress of 10.5 MPa under 2000 N load, well below the plastic limit of UHMWPe. Changes in the femoral condylar shape after TKA were small based on alignment analysis of the medial and lateral condyles. Kinematic analysis revealed an average 16.9 degrees tibial internal rotation with flexion to 90 degrees. Condylar translations exhibited a medial pivot pattern from 0 to 90 degrees of flexion, with an average of 0.9 mm anterior translation of the medial condyle and 9.0 mm posterior translation of the lateral condyle. As a result, tibial internal rotation with medial pivot pattern was accepted. Conclusions The novel TKA design based on restoration of articular surface orientation and bony geometry exhibits in vivo kinematics and alignment, contact mechanics that are compatible with excellent functional performance and implant longevity for Asian.
Percutaneous endocardial transfer and expression of genes to the myocardium utilizing fluoroscopic guidance (2001)

Experimental studies indicate that administration of angiogenic proteins or genes by the epicardial or intracoronary route can stimulate development of new collateral vessels and improve myocardial perfusion. An endocardial catheter-based approach to this therapy would obviate the need for surgery, while preserving the effectiveness of direct intramyocardial administration. Fluoroscopic guidance and prototype, preformed, coaxial catheters were used to examine the feasibility of percutaneous catheter-based adenovirus (Ad)-mediated gene transfer and expression in normal swine myocardium. The feasibility of intramyocardial administration (100 μl/injection) of a radiocontrast agent and black tissue dye to all regions of the left ventricle (septum, anterior, lateral, and inferior wall) was confirmed fluoroscopically and on postmortem examination. Injections of replication-deficient adenovirus (10 injections of 1011 particle units/100 μl each) coding for β-galactosidase (Adβgal) or vascular endothelial growth factor (AdGVVEGF121.10) were administered to the left ventricular free wall to examine endocardial based gene transfer and expression. β-Galactosidase activity was detected by histochemical staining and quantitative assay in targeted regions of the myocardium. Regional VEGF expression was found to be significantly greater in targeted regions (1.3 ± 0.4 ng/mg protein) as compared with non-targeted regions (0.3 ± 0.1 ng/mg protein) or regions injected with control (Adβgal) virus (0.2 ± 0.03 ng/mg protein, P < 0.001). Catheter-based Ad mediated endocardial gene transfer and expression is feasible using percutaneous, fluoroscopically guided, preformed, coaxial catheters. This approach should be clinically useful to administer angiogenic genes to the ischemic myocardium. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2001;52:260–266. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Besser - Weniger - Anders Bauen: Kreislaufgerechtes Bauen und Kreislaufwirtschaft (2022)

Sustainability is to become the guiding principle of social action and economic activity. At the same time, its ways and means are far from clear. As a holistic praxis, sustainability must combine technical and material as well as social, economic, ecological and also ethical strategies, which have multiple complex interactions and all too often also conflicting goals and priorities. In no other field can these be better observed, addressed and influenced than in architecture and building. Each volume of "Building Better – Less – Different" details two fundamental areas of sustainability and explores their specific dynamics and interactions. After introductory overviews, innovative methods and current developments are described and analysed in in-depth essays, international case studies and pointed commentaries. The sustainability criteria of efficiency ("better"), sufficiency ("less") and consistency ("different") form the framework for each book. The first volume presents concepts, methods and examples of circularity in construction and the economy. Urban mining and circular construction are two approaches to the challenges that architecture and urban design are facing, using techniques such as mono-material construction and design for disassembly, and tools such as materials passports and databases. The circular economy is not solely about recycling but encompasses a wide range of strategies from local community projects to new ownership and service models and steering mechanisms such as carbon fees and dividends.
2A2-C11 Design of Assistant Tool for First Aid Chest Compression(Welfare Robotics and Mechatronics (2)) (2013)

Chest compression is one of the most important actions for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Because many people will be survived by the CPR in the early-stage of cardio-respiratory arrest, it is expected chest compression becomes widely known through trainings and workshops. So far, we have proposed a motion optimization method for chest compression based on kinematics and dynamics of a human model. Because body weight is an important parameter achievement chest compression, it is difficult for people of small weight to perform appropriate chest compression. In this paper, we use a mass as an assistant tool for chest compression, and optimize the weight of the mass. By using of the optimized mass, person with the mass will generate the appropriate chest compression.

The primary visual cortex fills in color (2004)

One of the most important goals of visual processing is to reconstruct adequate representations of surfaces in a scene. It is thought that surface representation is produced mainly in the midlevel vision and that area V1 (the primary visual cortex) activity is solely due to feedback from the midlevel stage. Here, we measured functional MRI signals corresponding to "neon color spreading": an illusory transparent surface with long-range color filling-in, one of the important mediums in reconstructing a surface. The experiment was conducted with careful controls of attention, which can send feedback signals from higher visual areas. Activity for filling-in was observed only in V1, whereas activity for illusory contours was observed in multiple visual areas. These results indicate that surface representation is produced by multiple rather than single processing.
Bifunctional transcriptional properties of YY1 in regulating muscle actin and c-myc gene expression during myogenesis. (1994)

Oncogene expression is generally incompatible with terminal cell differentiation as in myogenesis. We present evidence that this incompatibility can be caused in part by the dual activity of a Kruppel-related zinc finger, YY1 (formerly F-ACT1), in differentially regulating oncogene and muscle-specific gene expression. The c-myc and skeletal alpha-actin gene promoters contain YY1 binding sites thought to act either as positive or negative cis-acting elements. Through manipulating the intracellular level of YY1 by treating primary myoblasts with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), which inhibited myogenesis and increased the YY1 protein content, or by transfecting YY1 cDNA expression vector, we show that it can simultaneously inhibit and activate expression of the skeletal alpha-actin and c-myc genes, respectively. The transrepression activity of YY1 solely depends on its C-terminal zinc finger region (amino acids 297-407) while its transactivation function requires an additional N-terminal domain (amino acids 1-90) normally masked in the full-length protein. We propose that the high level of YY1 in proliferating myoblasts might serve to maintain c-myc expression and suppress muscle actin expression, which can then be gradually reversed by downregulating YY1 activity toward myogenesis.
Characterization of Relay Channels Using the Bhattacharyya Parameter (2008)

Relay systems have large and complex parameter spaces, which makes it difficult to determine the parameter region where the system achieves a given performance criterion, such as probability of frame error. In this paper, we show that the union bound (UB) and the Bhattacharyya parameter (BP) can be used for fast analysis of the parameter space when error-control coding is used. This is applicable when amplify-and-forward (AF) or demodulate-and-forward (DemF) are used. For a given code ensemble, the associated UB threshold is found and can be used to define the signal-to-noise region where a given frame error rate can be achieved. Using asymptotic results, the UB threshold can be used to specify the signal-to-noise ratio region where successful decoding can be achieved for large blocklength. In addition, the UB with BP can be used when fractional cooperation is used, where each relay only relays a fraction of the source codeword. This makes the UB with BP a valuable tool in the system design of relay networks.
Speech perception and production with one level-dependent hearing protector (2016)

Electronic level-dependent hearing protectors aim to enhance communications and situational awareness in the noisy workplace compared to passive hearing protectors. From a listener’s perspective, the fixed attenuation provided by passive hearing protection interferes with speech recognition in noise in users with hearing loss. From a talker’s perspective, they also disrupt the Lombard reflex and induce an occlusion effect, which leads to a reduced vocal output in noise and compounds the problem. This paper presents laboratory data on speech recognition and production in noise with one level-dependent earmuff device. The device was tested in the level-dependent mode at two different gain settings as well as in a powered OFF condition to simulate passive protection within the same device. Level-dependent hearing protection provided significant speech recognition benefits in noise compared to passive protection, especially for users with hearing loss, and performance often exceeded unprotected listening. Talker speech output levels were also found to be higher in noise when the hearing protector was operated in a level-dependent mode compared to passive protection, but not as high as when unprotected, indicating only a partial recovery of speech production mechanisms.
FUNDAMENTAL STUDY ON COLORED MORTAR USING CONCRETE PIGMENTS WITH DIFFERENT WATER BINDER RATIO (2019)

Colored concrete is concrete that is colored by adding pigment to the concrete mix. In recent years, such concrete has come into wide use for non-structural member like a curtain-wall and a slab. However, colored concrete technology has spread only for ordinary strength concrete. There are almost no studies regarding the application of a concrete with low water binder ratio like a high strength concrete.
Transfemoral Placement of the Left Ventricular Assist Device “Hemopump” During Mechanical Resuscitation (1990)

The Hemopump is a new left-ventricular assist device (21 F diameter), which provides up to 3.5 L/min output after placement in the left ventricle via the femoral artery. We describe the first case in which the device was inserted during resuscitation. The patient developed untreatable sustained ventricular tachycardias/fibrillation 40 hours after coronary artery bypass grafting. After prolonged mechanical resuscitation (about 3 hours) as a last resort the Hemopump was inserted and rhythm and hemodynamics stabilized. In the following hours a decrease in aortic pressure pulsatility indicated, effective left ventricular support when the Hemopump was running. For short periods the patient had nonpulsatile aortic pressure wave forms, implying complete pump dependence. In this situation cardiac output was about 3.0 L/min, mean aortic pressure reached nearly 50 mmHg using high dosage of catecholamines. The patient remained pump-dependent and died due to untreatable ventricular fibrillation. There was no significant hemolysis during the 20 hours the Hemopump was running. Autopsy revealed no signs of thrombembolism, but intimal lesions of the A. iliaca and of the abdominal aorta with subsequent thrombus formation were demonstrated. In view of the experimentally proven benefit in cardiogenic shock and problems and risks caused by the insertion, future indications for clinical use of this new device are discussed.
Anomaly Detection for Discovering Performance Degradation in Cellular IoT Services (2021)

Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are envisioned to revolutionize the transportation industry, enabling autonomous processes and real-time exchange of information among vehicles and infrastructure. To safely navigate the roadways, CAVs rely on sensor readings and data from the surrounding vehicles. Hence, a fault or anomaly arising from the hardware, software, or the network can lead into devastating consequences regarding safety. This study investigates potential performance degradation caused by anomalies, by analyzing real-life vehicles’ sensory and network-related data. The aim is to utilize unsupervised learning for anomaly detection, with a goal to describe the cause and effect of the detected anomalies from a performance perspective. The results show around 93% F1-score when detecting anomalies imposed by the cellular network and the vehicle’s sensors. Moreover, with approximately 90% F1-score we can detect anomalous predictions from a deployed network-related ML model predicting cellular throughput and describe the root-causes behind the detected anomalies.
A stochastic integral equation method for modeling the rough surface effect on interconnect capacitance (2005)

In This work we describe a stochastic integral equation method for computing the mean value and the variance of capacitance of interconnects with random surface roughness. An ensemble average Green's function is combined with a matrix Neumann expansion to compute nominal capacitance and its variance. This method avoids the time-consuming Monte Carlo simulations and the discretization of rough surfaces. Numerical experiments show that the results of the new method agree very well with Monte Carlo simulation results.
Cost-effective solid state reactive sintering method for protonic ceramic fuel cells (2023)

The present invention relates to a protonic ceramic fuel cell and a method of making the same. More specifically, the method relates to a cost-effective route which utilizes a single moderate-temperature (less than or equal to about 1400° C.) sintering step to achieve the sandwich structure of a PCFC single cell (dense electrolyte, porous anode, and porous cathode bone). The PCFC layers are stably connected together by the intergrowth of proton conducting ceramic phases. The resulted PCFC single cell exhibits excellent performance (about 450 mW/cm2 at about 500° C.) and stability (greater than about 50 days) at intermediate temperatures (less than or equal to about 600° C.). The present invention also relates to a two step method for forming a PCFC, and the resulting PCFC.
Schizophrenia, Dopamine and the Striatum: From Biology to Symptoms (2019)

The mesolimbic hypothesis has been a central dogma of schizophrenia for decades, positing that aberrant functioning of midbrain dopamine projections to limbic regions causes psychotic symptoms. Recently, however, advances in neuroimaging techniques have led to the unanticipated finding that dopaminergic dysfunction in schizophrenia is greatest within nigrostriatal pathways, implicating the dorsal striatum in the pathophysiology and calling into question the mesolimbic theory. At the same time our knowledge of striatal anatomy and function has progressed, suggesting new mechanisms via which striatal dysfunction may contribute to the symptoms of schizophrenia. This Review draws together these developments, to explore what they mean for our understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment of the disorder.
Chloroplast DNA Phylogeny of the Papilionoid Legume Tribe Phaseoleae (1993)

Restriction map variation has been assayed in the slowly evolving chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) inverted repeat regions of 43 genera of the large and economically important legume tribe Phaseoleae and representatives of several allied tribes. Cladistic analyses of these data indicate that several plastome groups correspond well to subtribes recognized largely on the basis of mor- phological variation. Based on these cpDNA data, the tribe as a whole does not appear to be monophyletic, a result in accordance with current, morphologically-based hypotheses. Plastomes of several genera belonging to subtribes considered basal within Phaseoleae have as their sister groups plastomes of non-Phaseoleae tribes, notably Millettieae, the tribe considered to represent the ancestral stock from which diverse elements of Phaseoleae were derived. More unexpectedly, plastomes of the tribe Desmodieae fall within the clade that includes the most derived chloroplast genomes of Phaseoleae.

Impact of Prenatal Diagnosis on Survival and Early Neurologic Morbidity in Neonates With the Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (2001)

These data suggest that prenatal diagnosis has a favorable impact on treatment of patients who have HLHS and are undergoing staged palliation and reduces early neurologic morbidity. Prenatal diagnosis was not associated with reduced hospital mortality. It is possible that prenatal diagnosis may improve long-term neurologic outcome.
Multi-Channel Fast Parametric Algorithms and Performance for Adaptive Radar (2007)

Airborne radar systems employing radar sensor arrays utilize multi-channel (MC) signal processing techniques for optimal detection and localization of targets. The detection and localization statistics have mathematical structures that typically require the inverse of an estimated covariance matrix in order to be evaluated. Due to the size of sensor arrays and the number of pulses in a coherent processing interval (CPI), the dimension of the covariance arrays is very large (1000s) and the computational burden of estimating and inverting such large arrays has led to the development of parametric methodologies that significantly reduce both the computational requirements and the amount of measured data to create the inverse co-variance matrix estimate. Recent developments have indicated non-stationary covariance estimates may provide enhanced detection performance over stationary covariance estimates. This paper outlines the fast computational structure possibilities of both stationary and non-stationary covariance inverse structures in one-dimensional and multi-channel cases.
MARINE PLANT-HERBIVORE INTERACTIONS: The Ecology of Chemical Defense (1988)

Herbivory has a profound effect on seaweeds in both temperate and tropical communities (11, 17, 21, 33, 43, 47, 80, 124). This is especially true on coral reefs where 60-97% (11, 42) of the total seaweed production may be removed by herbivores. To persist in marine communities, seaweeds must escape, deter, or tolerate herbivory. The ecological and evolutionary importance of spatial and temporal escapes has been extensively studied for seaweeds and adequately reviewed in the recent literature (33, 45, 47, 71, 80). The ability of seaweeds to tolerate herbivory has received limited attention. On coral reefs, rapidly growing filamentous algae are heavily grazed, but the algae quickly replace these losses and appear to be dependent upon herbivores to prevent their habitat from being overgrown by larger but less herbivoretolerant species (11, 71). Additionally, several seaweeds have spores or vegetative portions that can withstand gut passage; in some cases this significantly increases the growth rates of the newly settled spores (6, 122). These types of seaweeds may be considered herbivore tolerant. Although numerous seaweed characteristics can deter some herbivores, the effects of morphology and chemistry have been studied most thoroughly. The
