Article Abstract
It is very difficult to fabricate tunable optical systems having an aperture below 1000 micrometers with the conventional means on macroscopic scale. Krogmann et al. (J. Opt. A 8, S330-S336, 2006) presented a MEMS-based tunable liquid micro-lens system with an aperture of 300 micrometers. The system exhibited a tuning range of back focal length between 2.3mm and infinity by using the electrowetting effect to change the contact angle of the meniscus shape on silicon with a voltage of 0-45 V. However, spherical aberration was found in their lens system. In the present study, a numerical simulation is performed for this same physical configuration by solving the Young-Laplace equation on the interface of the lens liquid and the surrounding liquid. The resulting meniscus shape produces a back focal length that agrees with the experimental observation excellently. To eliminate the spherical aberration, an electric field is applied on the lens. The electric field alters the Young-Laplace equation and thus changes the meniscus shape and the lens quality. The numerical result shows that the spherical aberration of the lens can be essentially eliminated when a proper electric field is applied.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a novel shape-memory Bi-hook device in facilitating antegrade stent implantation for canalicular laceration repair.
Methods: In this retrospective comparative study, 76 patients (76 eyes) with canalicular laceration were enrolled: 39 patients (39 eyes) underwent Bi-hook-assisted stent implantation (Bi-hook group) and 37 patients received conventional Ritleng stent intubation (control group). The Bi-hook device was fabricated using a thermally shaped 0.

Objective: To analyze the Schatzker classification and related epidemiological situation of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures (PTPFs), and analyze the curative effect of different surgical approaches and internal fixation methods according to the subtype of PTPFs, to provide a strategic basis for clinicians to treat posterolateral plateau fractures.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases to identify PTPFs between 2000 and 2024. The epidemiological data related to PTPFs, including its injury reason, Schatzker and OTA/AO classification, combined injury, complication, fixation methods, function evaluation methods, and other data, were manually screened and retrieved for comparative analysis.
Capillary interactions drive the self-organization of bacterial colonies.

Many bacteria inhabit thin water layers on solid surfaces. These thin films occur both naturally - in soils, on hosts, on textiles - and in the lab on agar hydrogels. In these environments, cells the water menisci formed around bacteria lead to capillary attraction between cells while still allowing them to slide past one another.

Additive manufacturing technology has the potential to provide great versatility in the design and fabrication of sensing devices. This prerequisite necessitates further technological improvement in precision and material diversity. Here, a universal meniscus-guided 3D printing method is reported that can fabricate freestanding metal oxide semiconducting nanowires with programmed compositions and compatible substrate options at the single-entity level.
