Objective This study assessed the safety and sound-localisation ability of the Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) (Med-EL, Innsbruck, Austria) in patients with unilateral microtia and atresia (MA). Methods This was a single-centre retrospective research study. Twelve subjects with unilateral conductive hearing loss (UCHL) caused by ipsilateral MA were…[Read more]

Balancing economic growth, resource conservation, and atmospheric environmental protection has topped the agenda of academics and policy makers. The article takes the panel data of 37 Chinese industrial sectors from 2003 to 2016 as the research object to explore the impact of atmospheric environmental regulation on industrial total factor…[Read more]

The aforementioned critical sample and instrumental variables are varied, and we report on the ability to quantitatively characterize polyisoprene microstructure to within 1-2% of a higher field NMR spectrometer (400 MHz). We anticipate our findings to be generally applicable to other low-field spectrometers of similar field strength and other…[Read more]

It has long been challenging to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind striking morphological innovations such as mammalian pregnancy. We studied the power of a robust comparative orthology pipeline based on gene synteny to address such problems. We inferred orthology relations between human genes and genes from each of 43 other vertebrate…[Read more]

Additionally, the MDS group’s attribution of some positive personality traits for the three pleasant stimuli was significantly weaker than that in the HC group. These results could be explained by the affective state of the MDS subjects; they were more anxious and more alexithymic compared with the controls. Further research is needed to validate…[Read more]

screpancy.Objective Because caregivers are a crucial part of a child’s medical care, it is important to understand how to best communicate with them during hospitalization. Qualitative research can elucidate the best strategies for effective parent-provider communication. This study aims to reveal communication styles of neurosurgery team members,…[Read more]

This study indicated that Cys-linker-MMAE has the potential as a potent payload for ADCs, which is expected to provide novel strategies for the development of MMAE-based ADCs.BACKGROUND low vitamin D status in pregnancy can influence the offspring’s lung function and contribute to childhood asthma development. The objective of this study was to…[Read more]

RESULTS Low dose frankincense and myrrha increased cell proliferation and migration in HUCs compared with control (P less then 0.05). Rats with acute IC/PBS rats exhibited lower voiding interval values, pain tolerance, and ZO-2 expression (P less then 0.05). Voiding interval values and pain tolerance were higher in the frankincense and myrrha…[Read more]
