Reference intervals for coagulation parameters in chinese adults stratified by sex and age.

Coagulation parameters are critical for the diagnosis and management of bleeding disorders, yet existing reference intervals (RIs) often neglect demographic variations. This study established sex- and age-specific RIs for six coagulation parameters, including lupus anticoagulant (LA) ratio, protein C/S (PC/PS) activity, factor VIII/IX (FVIII/FIX) activity, and von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF Ag), in healthy Chinese adults from Shenzhen and Beijing. Coagulation parameter distributions were explored using kernel density plots and boxplots, with statistical comparisons across sex or age groups.

Research on the Hydrodynamic Performance of Manta Rays Using a 2D CFD Model.

Currently, the most commonly used method to study the hydrodynamic performance of manta rays is computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation.

Meningeal lymphatic vessel crosstalk with central nervous system immune cells in aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

Meningeal lymphatic vessels form a relationship between the nervous system and periphery, which is relevant in both health and disease. Meningeal lymphatic vessels not only play a key role in the drainage of brain metabolites but also contribute to antigen delivery and immune cell activation. The advent of novel genomic technologies has enabled rapid progress in the characterization of myeloid and lymphoid cells and their interactions with meningeal lymphatic vessels within the central nervous system.

Effects of sleep deprivation on anxiety-depressive-like behavior and neuroinflammation.

Background: Depression is defined by a persistent low mood and disruptions in sleep patterns, with the WHO forecasting that major depression will rank as the third most prevalent contributor to the global burden of disease by the year 2030. Sleep deprivation serves as a stressor that triggers inflammation within the central nervous system, a process known as neuroinflammation. This inflammatory response plays a crucial role in the development of depression by upregulating the expression of inflammatory mediators that contribute to symptoms such as anxiety, hopelessness, and loss of pleasure.

The failure behavior of coal-rock combined body under compression-shear loading.

As shallow coal reserves continue to deplete rapidly, deep mining has become an unavoidable course of action. In the process of deep coal mining, affected by blasting, mining, and excavation, the coal-rock interface often encounters the action of compression-shear composite load.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of natural compounds for Alzheimer's disease: Mechanisms of action and pharmacological properties.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a global public health priority characterized by high mortality rates in adults and an increasing prevalence in aging populations worldwide. Despite significant advancements in comprehending the pathogenesis of AD since its initial report in 1907, there remains a lack of effective curative or preventive measures for the disease. In recent years, natural compounds sourced from diverse origins have garnered considerable attention as potential therapeutic agents for AD, owing to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties.

Network Proximity-based computational pipeline identifies drug candidates for different pathological stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Despite the massive investment in Alzheimer's disease (AD), there are still no disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for AD. One major reason is attributed to the limitation of clinical "one-size-fits-all" approach, since the same AD treatment solely based on clinical diagnosis was unlikely to achieve good clinical efficacy. In recent years, computational approaches based on multiomics data have provided an unprecedented opportunity for drug discovery since they can substantially lower the costs and boost the efficiency.

Comparative Metabolomics Analysis Reveals Key Metabolic Mechanisms and Protein Biomarkers in Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common progressive neurodegenerative diseases, accompanied by global alterations in metabolic profiles. In the past 10 years, over hundreds of metabolomics studies have been conducted to unravel metabolic changes in AD, which provides insight into the identification of potential biomarkers for diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic assessment. However, since different species may lead to systemic abnormalities in metabolomic profiles, it is urgently needed to perform a comparative metabolomics analysis between AD animal models and human patients.
