Article Abstract

Our previous study found that some trigeminal ganglion (TG) nerve endings in the inner walls of rat anterior chambers were mechanosensitive, and transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) was an essential mechanosensitive channel in the membrane. To address the effect of cannabinoids on the mechanosensitive TG nerve endings in the inner walls of anterior chambers of rat eye, we investigated the effect of the (R)-(+)-WIN55, 212-2 mesylate salt (WIN), a synthetic cannabinoid on their cell bodies in vitro. Rat TG neurons innervating the inner walls of the anterior chambers were labeled by 1,1'-dilinoleyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine, 4-chlorobenzenesulfona (FAST DiI). Whole cell patch clamp was performed to record the currents induced by drugs and mechanical stimulation. Mechanical stimulation was applied to the neurons by buffer ejection. WIN evoked inward currents via TRPA1 activation in FAST DiI-labeled TG neurons. WIN enhanced mechanosensitive currents via TRPA1 activation in FAST DiI-labeled TG neurons. Our results indicate that cannabinoids can enhance the mechanosensitivity of TG endings in the inner walls of anterior chambers of rat eye via TRPA1 activation.

Electrochemical grooving of tube inner walls with emphasis on feed strategy and multi-pass effects on material removal and groove geometry.

PLoS One

Electrochemical (EC) grooving minimises tool wear and residual stress when machining hard-to-cut tube materials. This study examines how the number of passes and tool feed direction affect material removal rate (MRR) and removed area (RA) in Stellite 21 tubes. Two feed strategies were tested: Unidirectional Electrolyte Flow (UEF), where the tool moves entirely opposite to the electrolyte flow; and Hybrid Electrolyte Flow (HEF), where the tool first moves against and then with the flow direction.

To investigate the anti-relaxation performance of FOTS-modified OTS coatings on the inner walls of cesium (Cs) atomic cell, this study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore the self-assembly process of FOTS-modified OTS molecular chains on the SiO (001) surface and evaluates the effects of FOTS chain amounts, water molecule content, and temperature on the diffusion behavior of Cs atoms. Results show that the optimized interface model of the FOTS-modified OTS coating and SiO substrate achieves thermodynamic and energetic equilibrium under the conditions of 25 °C and 2000 ps. The film formation process of FOTS-modified OTS chains on SiO surfaces involves three distinct stages: initial anchoring, conformational rearrangement, and structural relaxation and equilibrium configuration.

Background: Single-cell genomics is revolutionizing plant developmental biology, enabling the transcriptome profiling of individual cells and their lineage relationships. However, plant cell walls polymers hamper the dissociation and analysis of intact cells. This rigid structure can conceal cell types embedded in complex, lignified, multi-cell layered tissues such as those undergoing secondary growth.

Aim: To investigate the prevalence and clinical implications of hyperreflective walls (HRW) in foveal cystoid spaces in patients with cystoid macular edema (CME) caused by retinal diseases and noninfectious uveitis (NIU).

Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 443 eyes with CME secondary to diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), and NIU. Demographic data, HRW features, and other spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) biomarkers were analyzed.

Solid-state nanochannel sensors have emerged as a promising platform for next-generation disease marker detection. However, significant challenges remain in detecting low-abundance miRNAs in biological systems. This study presents an ultra-sensitive electrochemical sensing system based on interfacial charge density modulation and signal synergistic amplification within nanochannel for precise detection of microRNA-155 (miR-155).
