Lack of temperature sensation of myoelectric prosthetic hand limits the daily activities of amputees.To this end,a non-invasive temperature sensation method is proposed to train amputees to sense temperature with psychophysical sensory substitution.In this study,22 healthy participants took part besides 5 amputee participants.The duration time of the study was 31 days with five test steps according to the Leitner technique.An adjustable temperature mug and a Peltier were used to change the temperature of the water/phantom digits to induce temperature to participants.Also,to isolate the surround-ings and show colors,a Virtual Reality(VR)glass was employed.The statistical results conducted are based on the response of participants with questionnaire method.Using Chi-square tests,it is concluded that participants answer the experiment significantly correctly using the Leitner technique(P value<0.05).Also,by applying the"Repeated Measures ANOVA",it is noticed that the time of numbness felt by participants had significant(P value<0.001)difference.Participants could remember lowest and highest temperatures significantly better than other temperatures(P value<0.001);furthermore,the well-trained amputee participant practically using the prosthesis with 72.58%could identify object's temperature with only once time experimenting the color temperature. 相似文献

In the present study Cervatana and Almagra models from decision support system, MicroLEIS DSS, were applied to segregation
of arable land surfaces from the marginal ones and suitability evaluation of wheat (Triticum aestivum), maize (Zea mays) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in Souma area with approximately 4100 ha extension in West Azarbaijan. Obtained results from both models are presented and
discussed in this research work. Soil morphological and analytical data were collected from 35 soil profiles, representative
of the study area and stored in SDBm plus database. The control or vertical section of soil for applying and running the models
for annual selected crops, was calculated by soil layer generator 0.0–50 cm in depth, or between the surface and the limit
of useful depth when the latter is between 0.0 and 50 cm. According to results, 80.49% of the total area was good capable
for agricultural uses and 19.51% must be reforested and not dedicated to agriculture. The lands with good capability for agricultural
uses is classified as highly suitable area (S2) for wheat, maize and alfalfa, but results in 822 ha for maize and in 126 ha
for alfalfa refers to an excellent suitable (S1) and moderately suitable (S3) classes respectively. The most important limitation
factors are soil texture and carbonate alone or together and maize — wheat — alfalfa can be selected as the best crop rotation.
A simple map subsystem (ArcView GIS) was used for basic data and models result demonstration on a map. 相似文献

Exhausted T cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells have been recently proposed to be new risk factors for recurrent miscarriage (RM). Intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) treatment reported to modulate various immune cells. In this study, the effects of IVIG on the frequency and function of exhausted T cells, exhausted Tregs, and Treg cells, as well as pregnancy outcome in women with unexplained RM (URM), were investigated. Ninety-four pregnant women with RM were enrolled. At the time of positive pregnancy, blood samples were drawn. Forty-four patients with URM were included as IVIG receiving treated group and received 400 mg/kg of IVIG and the rest fifty patients were considered as a control group and received no IVIG administration. IVIG was given intravenously every 4 weeks during 32 weeks of gestation. Blood samples of patients were collected after the latest administration. Exhausted T cells, exhausted Tregs, and Treg cells were evaluated pre- and posttreatment in both groups. IVIG induced a significant decrease in the frequency of exhausted Tregs population and function as well as a significant increase in Treg cells population, however, IVIG failed to affect population and the function of exhausted T cells. Pregnancy outcome was successful in IVIG treated women (86.3%) and were significantly different (P = 0.0006) in compared with the untreated URM subjects (42%). Therefore, employing of IVIG increases Treg cells and diminishes exhausted Tregs responses in RM patients with cellular immune anomalies throughout the pregnancy. Immunemodulatory effects of IVIG are probably associated with successful pregnancy outcome. 相似文献

Metacognitive reflections on one''s current state of mind are largely absent during dreaming. Lucid dreaming as the exception to this rule is a rare phenomenon; however, its occurrence can be facilitated through cognitive training. A central idea of respective training strategies is to regularly question one''s phenomenal experience: is the currently experienced world real, or just a dream? Here, we tested if such lucid dreaming training can be enhanced with dream-like virtual reality (VR): over the course of four weeks, volunteers underwent lucid dreaming training in VR scenarios comprising dream-like elements, classical lucid dreaming training or no training. We found that VR-assisted training led to significantly stronger increases in lucid dreaming compared to the no-training condition. Eye signal-verified lucid dreams during polysomnography supported behavioural results. We discuss the potential mechanisms underlying these findings, in particular the role of synthetic dream-like experiences, incorporation of VR content in dream imagery serving as memory cues, and extended dissociative effects of VR session on subsequent experiences that might amplify lucid dreaming training during wakefulness.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Offline perception: voluntary and spontaneous perceptual experiences without matching external stimulation''. 相似文献

Downregulation of microRNA-590-3p (miR-590-3p) is a frequently occurring, nonphysiological event which is observed in several human cancers, especially breast cancer. However, the significance of miR-590-3p still remain unclear in the progression of this disease. This study explored the role of miR-590-3p in apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Gene expression of miR-590-3p, Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), Bcl-2 associated X protein (BAX), and p21 was evaluated with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and SIRT1 protein expression was assessed by Western blot analysis in breast cancer cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay were used to evaluate targeting of SIRT1 messenger RNA (mRNA) by miR-590-3p. Cells were transfected with miR-590-3p mimic and inhibitor and their effects on the expression and activity of SIRT1 were evaluated. The effects of miR-590-3p upregulation on the acetylation of p53 as well as cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by Western blot analysis, WST-1 assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. miR-590-3p expression was considerably downregulated in breast cancer cells which was accompanied by upregulation of SIRT1 expression. SIRT1 was recognized as a direct target for miR-590-3p in breast cancer cells and its protein expression and activity was dramatically inhibited by the miR-590-3p. In addition, there was an increase in p53 and its acetylated form that ultimately led to upregulation of BAX and p21 expression, suppression of cell survival, and considerable induction of apoptosis in breast cancer cells. These findings suggest that miR-590-3p exerts tumor-suppressing effects through targeting SIRT1 in breast cancer cells, which makes it a potential therapeutic target for developing more efficient treatments for breast cancer. 相似文献

In this paper, a novel 3D graphical representation of DNA sequence based on codons is proposed. Since there is not loss of information due to overlapping and containing loops, this representation will be useful for comparison of different DNA sequences. This 3D curve will be convenient for DNA mutations comparison specially. In continues we give a numerical characterization of DNA sequences based on the new 3D curve. This characterization facilitates quantitative comparisons of similarities/dissimilarities analysis of DNA sequences based on codons. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION:
We studied the impact of small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) M55V polymorphism on susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in Iranian type 2 diabetes patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The patient group consisted of 50 Iranian type 2 diabetes patients with nephropathy, and the control group consisted of 50 Iranian type 2 diabetes patients without nephropathy. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method for the M55V.RESULTS:
The frequency of SUMO4 AA, AG, and GG genotypes were 23%, 18%, and 9% in the patient group and 10%, 22%, and 18% in the control group. There was no significant difference in frequency of SUMO4 genotypes in patients compared to controls.CONCLUSION:
These findings indicate that SUMO4 M55V polymorphism is not associated with diabetic nephropathy in Iranian type 2 diabetes patients. 相似文献10.

Although remarkable results have been attained by adoptively transferring T cells expressing fully murine and/or humanized anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to treat B cell malignancies, evidence of human anti-mouse immune responses against CARs provides a rationale for the development of less immunogenic CARs. By developing a fully human CAR (huCAR), these human anti-mouse immune responses are likely eliminated. This, perhaps, not only increases the persistence of anti-CD19 CAR T cells—thereby reducing the risk of tumor relapse—but also facilitates administration of multiple, temporally separated doses of CAR T cells to the same recipient. To these ends, we have designed and constructed a second-generation fully human anti-CD19 CAR (or huCAR19) containing a fully human single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) fused with a CD8a hinge, a 4-1BB transmembrane domain and intracellular T cell signaling domains of 4-1BB and CD3z. T cells expressing this CAR specifically recognized and lysed CD19+ target cells produced cytokines and proliferated in vitro. Moreover, cell volume data revealed that our huCAR construct cannot induce antigen-independent tonic signaling in the absence of cognate antigen. Considering our results, our anti-CD19 huCAR may overcome issues of transgene immunogenicity that plague trials utilizing CARs containing mouse-derived ScFvs. These results suggest that this huCAR19 be safely and effectively applied for adaptive T cell immunotherapy in clinical practice. 相似文献
