Article Abstract
A new biomimetic film was developed for the detection of 17β-estradiol (E2), drawing inspiration from the hydrophilic and hydrophobic (HI-HO) pattern of the beetle's back. The film had a non-densely packed face-centered cubic (FCC) structure of interwoven hydrophobic gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and hydrophilic poly ionic liquid methyl methacrylate (PILMMA) spheres. The film exhibited reflection (RE) and fluorescence (FL) emissions. The GNPs demonstrated a localized surface plasmon resonance effect (LSPR) and collaborated with PILMMA spheres to form a pronounced HI-HO pattern that promoted the concentration of target E2 molecules and increased sensitivity. After optimization, the film showed direct, ultrasensitive (as low as 1.5 nM), fast (11 min), and selective detection of E2 with a wide concentration range. During detection, RE and FL changes of the film were observed by the naked eye without any color display equipment. The recovery of E2 was between 87.0 % and 111.2 % in real samples.

Understanding the transmission of forces through the joints of the lower limb under weight-bearing conditions is critical for assessing the progression of knee and ankle osteoarthritis, as well as for developing effective surgical and preventive strategies. This study presents the first simultaneous quantification of three-dimensional skeletal posture and ground reaction force vectors during quiet standing, utilizing upright computed tomography and a custom-made force plate. We constructed the force plate using two six-axis force sensors, and the coordinate system of the CT was aligned with that of the force plate using metal spheres attached to the edges of the force plate.

Background: The innate shape characteristics of the hindfoot bones alter the loading conditions of the foot and thus may be associated with an increased risk of developing varus ankle osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to clarify the innate morphological patterns of the hindfoot bones that may be associated with ankle OA by analyzing the differences between the bone morphology of the non-affected side of patients with unilateral varus ankle OA and that of healthy participants.
Methods: In this case-control study, computed tomography images were used to develop three-dimensional models of three hindfoot bones (distal tibia with fibula, talus, and calcaneus) from 23 non-affected sides of patients with radiography-diagnosed unilateral ankle OA and 22 healthy control participants.

This study aims to quantify the effect of several information sources: acoustic, higher-level linguistic, and knowledge of the prosodic system of the language, on the perception of prosodic boundaries. An experiment with native and non-native participants investigating the identification of prosodic boundaries in Japanese was conducted. It revealed that non-native speakers as well as native speakers with access only to acoustic information can recognize boundaries better than chance level.

The present study aimed to quantify and visualize the degenerative patterns of the distal tibia and fibula due to ankle osteoarthritis (OA). We analyzed differences in tibial and fibular surface deviation between sides of patients with unilateral varus ankle OA (medial talar tilt > 4°) by registering each surface model to the mirror image of corresponding bone. Computed tomography images of both feet of 33 patients (OA: 22, control: 11) were examined.
