Afronurus kiangsuensis
No full textAfronurus kiangsuensis (Puthz, 1971) Ecdyonurus hyalinus Navás, 1936: 123, fig. 83 (male, female). Types: male, female, Jiangsu (nec Ecdyurus [sic] hyalinus Ulmer, 1912: 369, 372; nec Esben-Petersen 1916: 6). Renamed as Ecdyonurus kiangsuensis by Puthz 1971: 44. Cinygmina rubromaculata You et al., 1981: 28, pl. 2, figs 14–24 (male, female). Types: male, female, Yixing, Jiangsu province, China. New Synonym . Cinygmina rubromaculata —Wu et al. 1986: 65, figs 1–11 (nymph). Cinygmina rubromaculata — Gui 1985: 86; Zhang & Cai 1991: 237; You & Gui 1995: 52, fig. 51 (male); Zhou & Zheng 2003: 758, figs 7, 13, 17 (male and nymph). Ecdyonurus rubromaculatus — Tshernova et al. 1986: 114. Cinygmina hainanensis She et al., 1995: 72, fig. 1 (male, female, male subimago). Types: male, female, subimago, Hainan (Synonymized by Zhou & Zheng 2003: 758). Afronurus rubromaculatus — Braasch & Jacobus 2011: 65; Zhang et al. 2021: 110. Remarks: The abdominal color pattern of this species is very unique (Fig. 2). Comparison of the drawings of Navás (Fig. 2A) with specimens of C. rubromaculata (Figs. 2B, 2C) shows they are equivalent. The types of them were collected from the same county, Jiangsu province, China. Therefore, we propose the following synonymy: Ecdyonurus kiangsuensis Puthz, 1971 (= Cinygmina rubromaculata You et al., 1981). Ulmer (1912) named a species Ecdyurus hyalinus from the Chinese Taiwan island which was later transferred to the genus Afronurus by Kang & Yang (1994). Ecdyonurus hyalinus Navás, 1936 is therefore a junior homonym and was renamed by Puthz (1971) as Ecdyonurus kiangsuensis. We also redesigned a neotype for this species. Neotype designation for Afronurus kiangsuensis (Puthz, 1971): male imago, China, Jiangsu Province, Yi-Xing County, Hu-Fu Town (31°22′89.41″ N, 119°79′67.42″ E), 18-V-1995, collected by Chaodong Zhu.

Controlled release hydrogen sulfide delivery system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles protects graft endothelium from ischemia–reperfusion injury

This study aims to construct a controlled release H2S donor and evaluate its protective effect on graft endothelium. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were synthesized using the sol–gel method and loaded with diallyl trisulfide (DATS), an H2S-releasing agent named DATS-MSN. In vitro experiments showed that DATS-MSN could alleviate endothelial cell inflammation and enhance endothelial cell proliferation and migration. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the apoptosis of graft endothelium was mitigated in the presence of DATS-MSN. Our results indicated that DATS-MSN, releasing H2S in a controlled release fashion, could serve as an ideal H2S donor.

A301: Application of Sports Rehabilitation Technology in College Students with Cervical Spondylosis
No full textBased on the theoretical framework of exercise prescription, this study systematically evaluates the intervention efficacy of exercise rehabilitation techniques at different frequencies on cervical dysfunction in university students with cervical spondylosis, aiming to provide evidence-based support for constructing campus cervical health management programs. A triple-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted, enrolling 14 university students diagnosed with cervical spondylosis according to ICD-11 criteria. Participants were stratified and randomized into a high-frequency intervention group (ERF), a low-frequency intervention group (ERT), and a matched blank control group with equivalent baseline characteristics. An 8-week structured exercise intervention protocol was implemented, including: (1) Atlanta-occipital joint retraction training; (2) eccentric contraction training of the scalene muscles; (3) isometric contraction training of the deep cervical flexors; and (4) scapular kinetic chain activation training. A multimodal assessment system was employed: the Neck Disability Index (NDI) quantified functional impairment, a three-dimensional motion capture system (Vicon MX) measured C1-C7 segmental range of motion (ROM), and surface electromyography (sEMG) monitored the integrated electromyographic values (iEMG) of the sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius muscles. Repeated-measures ANOVA and post hoc tests were used for intra- and inter-group difference analys Post-intervention, the experimental groups demonstrated significant improvements compared to the control group in NDI scores (ERT: Δ=12.3±1.7, ERF: Δ=13.1±1.9 vs. control Δ=2.1±0.8, P \u3c 0.001), flexion ROM (ERT: +18.6°±3.2°, ERF: +19.1°±2.9° vs. control +2.3°±1.1°, P \u3c 0.001), and normalized iEMG values (ERT: -42.3%±6.1%, ERF: -45.7%±5.8% vs. control -3.2%±1.6%, P \u3c 0.001). No statistically significant difference in intervention effect size was observed between ERF and ERT. This study demonstrates that the progressive exercise protocol significantly improves cervical biomechanical characteristics, potentially mediated by intervertebral load redistribution and enhanced activation efficiency of deep cervical flexors. The findings confirm that a thrice-weekly intervention frequency achieves the minimal clinically important difference (MCID=10%), providing dose-response evidence for implementing tiered cervical health management strategies in university settings
Automatic construction of statistical shape models using deformable simplex meshes with vector field convolution energy
No full textAutomatic construction of statistical shape models using deformable simplex meshes with vector field convolution energy
No full textAbstract Background In the active shape model framework, principal component analysis (PCA) based statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely employed to incorporate high-level a priori shape knowledge of the structure to be segmented to achieve robustness. A crucial component of building SSMs is to establish shape correspondence between all training shapes, which is a very challenging task, especially in three dimensions. Methods We propose a novel mesh-to-volume registration based shape correspondence establishment method to improve the accuracy and reduce the computational cost. Specifically, we present a greedy algorithm based deformable simplex mesh that uses vector field convolution as the external energy. Furthermore, we develop an automatic shape initialization method by using a Gaussian mixture model based registration algorithm, to derive an initial shape that has high overlap with the object of interest, such that the deformable models can then evolve more locally. We apply the proposed deformable surface model to the application of femur statistical shape model construction to illustrate its accuracy and efficiency. Results Extensive experiments on ten femur CT scans show that the quality of the constructed femur shape models via the proposed method is much better than that of the classical spherical harmonics (SPHARM) method. Moreover, the proposed method achieves much higher computational efficiency than the SPHARM method. Conclusions The experimental results suggest that our method can be employed for effective statistical shape model construction
