Article Abstract

To compare the dynamic stability of lower extremities between Copers and individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) using clinician-oriented assessments (Y-balance test, YBT) and laboratory-oriented assessments (time to stabilization, TTS). 90 participants (Copers, 45; CAIs, 45) were recruited and measured by YBT and TTS to evaluate dynamic stability. The difference of dynamic stability between Copers and CAIs was examined using a two-factor MANOVA. Only for females in anterior direction, YBT scores for the AS side of Copers were significantly higher than that of CAIs. For males, the TTS of CAIs was significantly shorter than that of Copers in the anterior, lateral, and medial direction separately. For females, the TTS of CAIs is also significantly shorter than that of Copers in the anterior, lateral, and medial direction separately. There are opposite results when evaluating the dynamic stability difference between Copers and CAIs using YBT and TTS.

Stress engineering is an effective way to tune the performance of semiconductors, which has been verified in the work of inorganic and organic single-crystal semiconductors. However, due to the limitations of the vapor-phase growth preparation conditions, the deposited polycrystalline organic semiconductors are more susceptible to residual stress. Therefore, it is of great research significance to develop a low-cost stress engineering applicable to vapor-deposited semiconductors.

Importance: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without prostate biopsy, has become the standard of care for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer. Resource capacity limits widespread adoption. Biparametric MRI, which omits the gadolinium contrast sequence, is a shorter and cheaper alternative offering time-saving capacity gains for health systems globally.

Distinct codon usage signatures reflecting evolutionary and pathogenic adaptation in the Acinetobacter baumannii complex.

Purpose: This study investigates codon usage and amino acid usage bias in the genus Acinetobacter to uncover the evolutionary forces shaping these patterns and their implications for pathogenicity and biotechnology.

Methods: Codon usage patterns were examined in representative genomes of the genus Acinetobacter using standard codon bias indices, including GC content, relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), effective number of codons (ENC), and codon adaptation index (CAI). Neutrality and parity plots were employed to evaluate the relative influence of mutational pressure and natural selection on codon preferences.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 20 (CDK20), also known as cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK), plays a pivotal role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression by regulating β-catenin signaling and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. Despite its emerging significance, selective small-molecule inhibitors of CDK20 remain unexplored. In this study, a known CDK20 inhibitor, ISM042-2-048, was employed as a reference to retrieve structurally similar compounds from the PubChem database using an 85% similarity threshold.

A fundamental question in the field of molecular computation is what computational tasks a biochemical system can carry out. In this work, we focus on the problem of finding the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) for log-affine models. We revisit a construction due to Gopalkrishnan of a mass-action system with the MLE as its unique positive steady state, which is based on choosing a basis for the kernel of the design matrix of the model.
