Point-of-Care and Label-Free Detection of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome and Swine Influenza Viruses Using a Microfluidic Device with Photonic Integrated Circuits

Swine viral diseases challenge the sector’s sustainability by affecting productivity and the health and welfare of the animals. The lack of antiviral drugs and/or effective vaccines renders early and reliable diagnosis the basis of viral disease management, underlining the importance of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. A novel POC diagnostic device utilizing photonic integrated circuits (PICs), microfluidics, and information and communication technologies for the detection of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and swine influenza A (SIV) was validated using spiked and clinical oral fluid samples. Metrics including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated to assess the performance of the device. For PRRSV, the device achieved a sensitivity of 83.5%, specificity of 77.8%, and DOR values of 17.66, whereas the values for SIV were 81.8%, 82.2%, and 20.81, respectively. The POC device and PICs can be used for the detection of PRRSV and SIV in the field, paving the way for the introduction of novel technologies in the field of animal POC diagnostics to further optimize livestock biosecurity.     

Novel Anatomical Guidelines on Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection for Wrinkles in the Nose Region

Botulinum neurotoxin injection surrounding the nose area is frequently used in aesthetic settings. However, there is a shortage of thorough anatomical understanding that makes it difficult to treat wrinkles in the nose area. In this study, the anatomical aspects concerning the injection of botulinum neurotoxin into the nasalis, procerus, and levator labii superioris alaeque muscles are assessed. In addition, the present knowledge on localizing the botulinum neurotoxin injection point from a newer anatomy study is assessed. It was observed that, for the line-associated muscles in the nose region, the injection point may be more precisely defined. The optimal injection sites are the nasalis, procerus, and levator labii superioris alaeque muscles, and the injection technique is advised. We advise the best possible injection sites in association with anatomical standards for commonly injected muscles to increase efficiency in the nose region by removing the wrinkles. Similarly, these suggestions support a more precise procedure.     

输液器止液膜自动止液性能试验方法的研究

目前尚没有评价输液器止液膜止液性能的指导或标准文件,无法进行产品性能的量化分析和质量监督.笔者研究了一种止液膜泡点压力检测方法,同时探索了泡点压力与止液膜止液性能的关联性.以泡点压力试验结果作为止液性能的日常控制指标.为止液膜止液性能评价提供切实可行的参考价值.     

针刺内关穴与非穴的fMRI脑功能成像研究

目的:观察针刺健康志愿者右侧内关穴和非穴时不同脑区的激活情况,探讨针刺穴位对脑中枢的激活效应。方法:将14例健康志愿者随机分为内关穴组和非穴组,分别针刺右侧内关穴和非穴;同时,运用GE公司1.5T超导核磁共振系统完成脑部fMRI扫描,获得局部脑组织激活与否的试验数据,采用感兴趣区(ROI)法进行处理和分析。结果:针刺内关穴和非穴,对双侧顶叶、额叶、枕叶、颞叶、基底节区、扣带回、小脑、脑桥、脑岛等多个脑区分别有不同程度的激活;从激活几率、激活数量和激活强度上看,针刺右侧内关穴以激活左侧顶叶、额叶、颞叶、枕叶为主,并且特异性激活左侧海马和双侧桥脑;尽管在脑区的激活上,有上述趋势,但是在统计学上无显著性意义(P>0.05)。结论:针刺内关穴和非穴激活的脑区有相对的差异性,针刺外周穴位能特异性的激活脑中枢。
