The waveguide was fabricated in an Nd:YAG crystal with the cooperation of ultrafast laser writing and ion irradiation. The laser oscillation in the Nd:YAG waveguide is ultrasensitive to the external environment of the waveguide. Even a weak disturbance leads to a large variation of the output power of the laser.According to this feature, an Nd:YAG waveguide coated with graphene and WSe_2 layers is used as substrate for the microfluidic channel. When the microflow crosses the Nd:YAG waveguide, the laser oscillation in the waveguide is disturbed and induces fluctuation of the output laser. According to the fluctuation, the microflow is detected with a sensitivity of 10 mW/RIU.展开更多

It has a wide application in orthopedic fields, including arthritis, tendinopathies, and back pain. Protocol of injection varies extensively based on the pathological condition. This review aims to discuss orthopedic applications of prolotherapy and its related outcomes, intending to introduce more specific injection protocols in each field. Methods: In a narrative review of literature, various musculoskeletal indications and contraindications of prolotherapy, as well as the method and location of injection, solution type, procedure intervals and frequencies, outcomes and side effects are investigated to reveal all aspects of the current knowledge about this new approach. Results: Chronic back pain, osteoarthritis, and tendinopathies are considered the most common indications for prolotherapy. Protocol of injection varies from one condition to another. The actual concentration of administered dextrose ranges from 12.5% to 25%. Results of the different studies indicate that prolotherapy could have a pleasing effect on improving patient’s pain and functional outcomes. No severe complication has been mentioned in previous investigations. Conclusion: Prolotherapy is a new therapeutic option that can be suggested as an effective method in recalcitrant musculoskeletal conditions.展开更多

They were randomized and equally divided into interventional group and control group, and both were administered isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets with for lipid emulsion substituting for partial glucose loads in the interventional group.RESULTS: Nutritional parameters and biochemical data were compared between the two groups before and after 6-d of HPPN. Most investigated variables showed no significant changes after administration of HPPN with lipid emulsion. However, the postoperative triglyceride level was significantly lower in the interventional group than in the control group (P < 0.05). In comparison with lipid emulsion, glucose administration resulted in less decrease in postoperative prealbumin level (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: In addition to supplementing with essential fatty acid, it seems that HPPN with lipid emulsion is well-tolerated and beneficial to postoperative gastrointestinal cancer patients.展开更多

Its formation is related to the subduction of Kula-Pacific plate to the Asian continent. It is oriented approximately parallel to the eastern edge of Asia. It is dominated by the sinistral translation from Jurassic to Eocene and then by dextrose strike-slip. It has the following characters: (1)clear linear character; (2)sharp dip angle, usually changing between normal and reverse faults; (3)showing braided structure on the plan and flower structure in section;(4)alternated by uplifts and sags along the fault belt; (5)many stages of the eruptions of alkaline to calc-alkaline basalt magma along the fault belt; and (6) frequent activities of earthquakes along the fault belt. Its control over the oil-gas distribution is shown by the following racts: (1) the formation of many oil-bearing fault depressions; (2) the increase of the basin area it has passed through, thus increasing the basin's subsiding quantity and the oil reservoirs; and (3)the formation of many kinds of oil-gas trap structures.展开更多

The degree of hydrolysis had a great influence on itaconic acid production which was suitable when corn starch was saccharified at 35 DE. The α-amylase was sufficient to drive the starch hydrolysis to the degree. The agar plate assay with LiCl treatment provided a rapid, simple and unequivocal method for screening large numbers of colonies for itaconic acid producing strains. It was learned by experience that the strains on the plates with thick hyphae and light-colored spores often accompanied high itaconic acid production. A strain, designated Ast165, producing itaconic acid with a high yield, was successfully obtained by directional breeding of metabolic end products resistant strains. The itaconic acid concentration produced by Ast165 was 53.8 g/l from 100 g/l of starch hydrolysate in shake flasks. The conversion rate was 61.3%, which was the highest value found in tests.展开更多
