Article Abstract

This study aimed to compare the sinking and shifting characteristics of an enhanced expulsion-proof intervertebral fusion device (EEIFD) with a traditional transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion device (TTLIFD). Five specimens of each device were selected for analysis. Four mechanical tests-compression, subsidence, expulsion, and torque-were conducted for each cage. Additionally, a blade-cutting torque test was performed on the EEIFD, with load-displacement curves and mechanical values recorded. In static axial compression, static subsidence, and dynamic subsidence tests, the EEIFD demonstrated performance comparable to the TTLIFD. In expulsion testing, the maximum expulsion force for the EEIFD when the blade was rotated out (534.02 ± 21.24 N) was significantly higher than when the blade was not rotated out (476.97 ± 24.45 N) (P = 6.81 × 10-4). Moreover, the maximum expulsion force for the EEIFD with blade rotation (534.02 ± 21.24 N) was significantly higher than that of the TTLIFD (444.01 ± 12.42 N) (P = 9.82 × 10-5). These findings indicated that the EEIFD effectively enhanced expulsion prevention and antisubsidence performance.

The prompt and accurate identification of pathogenic bacteria is crucial for mitigating the transmission of infections. Conventional detection methods face limitations, including lengthy processing, complex sample pretreatment, high instrumentation costs, and insufficient sensitivity for rapid on-site screening. To address these challenges, an aptamer (Apt)-sensor based on functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was developed for detecting Escherichia coli.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in children. Current clinical diagnosis primarily relies on invasive detection methods, while molecular subtyping remains a complex and time-consuming process. This study innovatively employed silver nanoparticle-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology to systematically analyze 116 serum samples, including those with breakpoint cluster region-Abelson (-) fusion genotype, mixed-lineage leukemia (, also known as lysine methyltransferase 2A, ) gene rearrangement subtype, T-lymphoblastic ALL, and healthy controls.

To address the challenge of real-time kiwifruit detection in trellised orchards, this paper proposes YOLOv10-Kiwi, a lightweight detection model optimized for resource-constrained devices. First, a more compact network is developed by adjusting the scaling factors of the YOLOv10n architecture. Second, to further reduce model complexity, a novel C2fDualHet module is proposed by integrating two consecutive Heterogeneous Kernel Convolution (HetConv) layers as a replacement for the traditional Bottleneck structure.
