Many experimental factors and uncontrollable factors may introduce errors in the distance measurement by continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance. To deal with this problem, several C60 nitroxide diradical adducts with rigid structure and definite molecular dimension were used as distance calibration rulers. Based on the improvement of distance calculation program via adding simulation programs of experimental spectra and dipolar broadening function, respectively, the distance calibration method was developed under different conditions such as different solvent, solution concentration, measuring temperature, and microwave power. As a result, stable distance calibration rulers were established within the range of 8-13 Å. The distance calibration effect was evaluated resulting in a corresponding distance measurement precision of 0.84 Å. The results suggested that the influence of non-dipolar spectral broadening factors could be overcome, and the established experimental and calculation methods were suitable to a wide range of situations. The developed method will ensure more accurate and objective distance measurement in biomacromolecular analysis.

Entropy, characterized by increased disorder throughout biological systems, can be quantified by homeostatic dysregulation (HD). One potential measure of HD is the dispersion of points from a normal value, approximated at the individual level by Mahalanobis distance (D). We hypothesized that greater HD in electrocardiogram (ECG) would also reflect greater HD in the musculoskeletal system which, in turn, would be associated with age and manifest as an increased risk of fracture independently of age, bone mineral density (BMD), and history of fracture.

Objective: Progesterone (PG) and its target, progesterone receptor (PGR), are important regulators in inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the specific role of PG in periodontitis and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms involving PGR.
Methods: Women with periodontitis, including 250 with PG deficiency, 250 with PG supplementation, and 245 controls (normal PG) were enrolled.

Background: To evaluate the peripheral vitreoretinal abnormality (PVA) and its correlation with the risk of malignant glaucoma (MG) in nanophthalmos with secondary angle closure glaucoma (NSACG).
Methods: This prospective case series included 47 NSACG eyes with axial length (AL) < 21 mm from 25 patients. PVA was defined as a hyperreflective echo at the peripheral vitreoretinal region under ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).

Introduction: Traffic signals are the controlling devices aimed to reduce crossing conflicts at intersections. However, rear-end and lane-changing conflicts at signalized intersection approaches are a significant problem. This work aims to proactively assess and spatially map the safety and risk at signalized intersection approaches by field data collection and microsimulation modeling using PTV-VISSIM.

The epitaxial growth of semiconductor multilayers often starts from monocrystalline wafers that have an offcut angle. This offcut angle is critical for tailoring the properties of epitaxial materials, making its precise control essential. This study demonstrates a novel approach to determine the wafer offcut angle based on electron channeling patterns (ECP) obtained by scanning electron microscopy.
