decoction ameliorates abnormal behavior by regulating gut microbiota in rats with propionic acid-induced autism.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an early-onset neurodevelopmental disorder, usually accompanied by gut microbiota dysregulation. Gut microbiota homeostasis is considered effective for ASD. Reportedly, decoction (DCHD) can efficiently regulate gut microbiota and inflammation.

Thermal Performance Improvement of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs Using Nanocrystalline Diamond Capping Layers.

Nanocrystalline diamond capping layers have been demonstrated to improve thermal management for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. To improve the RF devices, the application of the technology, the technological approaches and device characteristics of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with gate length less than 0.5 μm using nanocrystalline diamond capping layers have been studied systematically.

[Comparison study of visual function and patient satisfaction in patients with monovision and patients with bilateral multifocal intraocular lenses].

Objective: To compare visual function and patient satisfaction in patients with bilateral diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) and patients with monofocal IOL monovision.

Methods: Prospective nonrandomized controlled study. This study comprised consecutive bilateral cataract patients 45 cases (90eyes) between January 2011 and March 2012.

[A comparison study of anterior chamber depth using A sonography and biomicroscopy in patient with cataract].

Objective: To know the difference of measured anterior chamber depth (ACD) in cataract eyes between A-scan and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) measurements.

Methods: Case series study, the ACD of 396 patients (480 eyes with cataract) came from the Department of Ophthalmology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January, 2008 and March, 2010, were measured by A-scan and UBM. Two groups were classified by whether the optical area of anterior cortex was transparent or not: 433 (90.

[Chop technique with lens loop-pad and foldable intraocular lens implantation].

Objective: To evaluate the use of chop technique with lens loop-pad and foldable intraocular lens implantation for cataract surgery.

Method: Chop technique with self-designed lens loop-pad and foldable intraocular lens implantation were performed on 73 eyes of 64 cases with senile cataract.

Results: The intraoperative complication was posterior capsular rupture in only 2 cases.
