On the road to discover new beliefs, therefore, the surrealism originated from so-called "surreal" and "super-reasonable" dreams became an attempt. As a leading brand of fashion and jeans, with its distinctive symbolic meaning Levi's is a typical symbol of American clothing. Much spiritual, cultural and artistic temperament was given to Levi as time changes, and Levi became a symbol of personality and rebellion ever since. This paper analyzed how designers of Levi applied the realism thinking in advertising design,and gave uniqueness and attraction to Levi's advertisement, based on which, the paper conducted a comprehensive theoretical research on Levi's design.展开更多

Construction of tissue-engineered nerves is a novel solution for repairing peripheral nerve defects. The sciatic nerve is the largest peripheral nerve in the body and is known to have a relatively constant anatomical position, sufficient diameter to be easily exposed and operated upon with good repeatability, satisfactory local blood circulation, and is difficult to infect. Owing to these advantages, rat models of sciatic nerve defects are commonly used to study nerve regeneration and repair.展开更多

Several factors pose a challenge for neural regeneration following spinal cord injury. First, glial scars and cavities, which form after spinal cord injury, hinder axonal growth and result in degenerative necrosis of the nerve fibers. Second.展开更多

We prove that, under lack of continuity of the choice rules it is also possible to ensure the existence of equilibrium. We shall appeal to general situations that are fulfilled by well-established models, where players have non-transitive preferences of various types.展开更多

Microglia cells are phagocytic cells present in the retina. In the retina of glaucoma rat models, microglia cells become activated, which suggests a role for microglia in the pathogenesis of optic nerve injury in glaucoma patients. The retinal ganglion cell is the only cell that can produce action potential in the retina,展开更多

However, the self-repair effects are minimal because of a limited absolute number, as well as the local microenvironment, post-transplantation. A combined treatment utilizing stem cell transplantation and gone therapy can exert a dual effect involving stem cells and neurotrophic factors. The adenovirus carrier is展开更多

Neuropathological studies have shown that electroacupuncture can significantly reduce the infarct volume, and improve the proportions of injured corpus striatum cells and residual cortical cells. Acupuncture-like sense stimulation can activate various conduction pathways that induce changes in nervous system activities.展开更多

Recent studies have reported that the repair mechanisms underlying cord blood stern cells involve the replacement of damaged cells and mediation of the local micro-environment.展开更多
