Shifting of Distribution and Changing of Antibiotic Resistance in Gram-Positive Bacteria from Bile of Patients with Acute Cholangitis by Hao Y, Li L, Du W, Lu J

“…Yuqi Hao,1 Lianxin Li,2 Wenting Du,1 Jinshuai Lu1 1Department of General Internal Medicine, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of China; 2Endoscopy Center, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Jinshuai Lu, Department of General Internal Medicine, People’s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, Xinjiang, People’s Republic of China, Email lujinshuai@xjrmyy.comBackground: Gram-negative bacteria are the predominant pathogens responsible for biliary infections; however, the prevalence of Gram-positive bacteria is currently increasing. Investigating the bacterial spectrum and evolving antibiotic resistance patterns of Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for optimizing the management of acute cholangitis, particularly in the context of the global rise in antibiotic resistance.Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on Gram-positive bacteria isolated from the bile of patients undergoing biliary drainage with acute cholangitis at our hospital from January 1, 2018, to March 31, 2024. …”

Revolutionizing brain‒computer interfaces: overcoming biocompatibility challenges in implantable neural interfaces by Weihang Gao, Zineng Yan, Hong Zhou, Yi Xie, Honglin Wang, Jiaming Yang, Jingbo Yu, Changmao Ni, Pengran Liu, Mao Xie, Li Huang, Zhewei Ye

“…Despite significant advancements over the years, conventional neural electrode interfaces remain insufficient for fully achieving these objectives, particularly in the context of long-term implantation. The primary limitation stems from the poor biocompatibility and mechanical mismatch between the interfacing electrodes and neural tissues, which induce a local immune response and scar tissue formation, thus decreasing the performance and useful lifespan. …”

Influence of Rail Line Gradient and Curve on Pantograph-Catenary Dynamic Performance by Huan ZOU, Ning ZHOU, Dong ZOU, Weihua ZHANG

“…The results showed that, when the slope change rate is 0, the influence of line on the dynamic response of the pantograph/catenary isn’t obvious;the positive slope change rate of the contact wire decreases the mechanical wear of pantograph/catenary, the stability of current is reduced, and it increases the electrical wear, but the negative slope change rate of the contact wire makes opposite; the smaller the radius of the vertical and horizontal curve, the worse the stability of the pantograph/catenary dynamic performance, which can not be ignored in the simulation, and it should be considered in the line design, construction and interval speed limit of horizontal curve and vertical curve setting.…”
