Mechanism of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy for Neuropathic Pain by SUN Yujia, ZHANG Junfeng, YAN Long, FAN Shiyu, QIAN Yulin, CONG Shan, WANG Yu, YU Tao

“…As a mature non-invasive neuromodulation technique, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can generate transient magnetic pulses penetrating through the skull, induce changes in cortical neuronal potentials, and affect the function and structure of the nervous system, which can not only alleviate NP-related symptoms, but also improve NP-related emotional disorders. …”

Neutrosophic Wald Distribution with Applications to Reliability Analysis by Afrah Al Bossly, Adnan Amin

“…To make it even more applicable, we propose an approach to generate random samples from neutrosophic Wald distribution using quantile function so that neutrosophic Wald distribution can be simulated and empirically validated. …”

Is the Hip Keeping the Ankle Out of Work after Total Ankle Arthroplasty? by Frank DiLiberto PT, PhD, Maxine Olson MS, Finola Summerville, Stacey Meardon PhD, PT, Anand Vora MD

“…Of note, postoperative ankle energy production (i.e. power, work) during gait is also deficient and related to lower gait speed and physical function scores. These findings raise questions regarding if people after TAA have the capacity to generate greater ankle energy or rely on proximal joint (e.g. hip) energy during walking and more challenging daily functional tasks. …”

Interaction with PALB2 Is Essential for Maintenance of Genomic Integrity by BRCA2. by Suzanne A Hartford, Rajanikant Chittela, Xia Ding, Aradhana Vyas, Betty Martin, Sandra Burkett, Diana C Haines, Eileen Southon, Lino Tessarollo, Shyam K Sharan

“…In addition, our findings also demonstrate that hypomorphic mutations such as Brca2G25R have the potential to be more detrimental than the functionally null alleles by increasing genomic instability to a level that induces tumorigenesis, rather than apoptosis.…”

Structural strength analysis and optimization of converter lug based on Kriging model by HE Guanqiang, LIU Yongjiang, LI Hua, CHEN Liming

“…For typical rail transit converters, each static strength analysis with four working conditions costs at least 1 hour, and each random vibration analysis with one axis costs more than 8 hours. As a result, for using traditional engineering optimization methods to optimize the converter structure, the optimization efficiency will be severely limited, since these methods need to invoke a large amount of simulations as function evaluations. …”

Wrist joint proprioceptive acuity assessment using inertial and magnetic measurement systems by Lin Li, ShuWang Li, YanXia Li

“…The orientation of the joint position sense production ellipse is similar to the orientation of the range of motion ellipse, indicating that subjects generated the most accurate in directions where it is easy to generate more range of motion and the lowest accurate in directions where it is not easy to generate more range of motion. …”

Research progress on energy metabolism regulation in stored platelets by GAO Chengyan, LOU Can, LEI Hang, CAI Xiaohong

“…In the resting state, platelets primarily rely on glycolysis and aerobic oxidation to generate energy. Upon activation, platelets preferentially utilize glycolysis, as it can more rapidly provide the required ATP. …”

Long-Term Management and Monitoring of the Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury in a Rodent Model by Michael Kleindorfer, Elena Esra Keller, Karin Roider, Evelyn Beyerer, Patrick Heimel, David Hercher, Martha Georgina Brandtner, Lukas Lusuardi, Ludwig Aigner, Sophina Bauer

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study that obtained a clinically relevant urodynamic dataset seamlessly from the acute to the chronic phase in rats with SCI. The ability to generate a complete data set from one single individual, rather than requiring multiple subjects, has the potential to markedly reduce the number of experimental animals, eliminate group differences, and give more flexibility for therapeutic intervention. …”

Loss of neuropeptidergic regulation of cholinergic transmission induces homeostatic compensation in muscle cells to preserve synaptic strength. by Jiajie Shao, Jana F Liewald, Wagner Steuer Costa, Christiane Ruse, Jens Gruber, Mohammad S Djamshedzad, Wulf Gebhardt, Alexander Gottschalk

“…Here, we assessed the role of neuropeptide signaling in the plasticity of NMJ function in Caenorhabditis elegans. We show that the CAPS (Ca2+-dependent activator protein for secretion) ortholog UNC-31, which regulates exocytosis of dense core vesicles, affects both pre- and post-synaptic functional properties, as well as NMJ-mediated locomotion. …”

Calibrated muscle models improve tracking simulations without enhancing gait predictions. by Filippo Maceratesi, Míriam Febrer-Nafría, Josep M Font-Llagunes

“…<h4>Objectives</h4>This study presents two main aims: (i) to assess functionally-calibrated musculoskeletal models (FCMs) in both tracking and predictive simulations of human motion, against non-linearly scaled models (NSMs), and (ii) to examine the effects of three different variations of our baseline functional calibration approach on the results of tracking and predictive simulations.…”

A customized image editing framework for diverse prohibited and restricted products in illegal online transactions by Wenjin Liu, Jingyu Zou, Shudong Zhang, Ning Luo, Haoming Liu

“…This framework integrates three novel components: (1) a PR-adapter that optimizes image prompts through image augmentation and compression representation techniques; (2) a text description generator combining the CLIP model and a multimodal large language model (MobileVLM) to generate more precise textual descriptions of images; and (3) an image generator, including a new loss function designed to fine-tune the stable diffusion model, enabling a better understanding of text semantics and generating images that more closely align with the textual descriptions. …”
