These results indicate that HBO therapy is beneficial to improve sleep and is safe for children with CP; however, further studies are necessary to explore the mechanisms of HBO on sleep.
The application of conductive hydrogels in flexible electronics
has attracted much interest in recent years due to their excellent
mechanical properties and conductivity. However, the development of
conductive hydrogels combining with superior self-adhesion, mechanical
properties, antifreeze, and antibacterial activity is still a challenge.
Herein, inspired by the structure of the ligament, a multifunctional
conductive hydrogel is constructed to address the issue by introducing
collagen into the polyacrylamide. The obtained conductive hydrogel
exhibits outstanding conductivity (52.08 mS/cm), ultra-stretchability
(>2000%), self-adhesion, and antibacterial properties. More significantly,
the supercapacitor based on this hydrogel electrolyte achieves a desirable
capacitance (514.7 mF·cm–2 at 0.25 mA·cm–2 current density). As a wearable strain sensor, the
obtained hydrogel can rapidly detect different movements of the body
such as finger, wrist, elbow, and knee joints. It is conceived that
this study would provide a potential approach for the preparation
of conductive hydrogels in the application of flexible electronics.
In recent years, obesity is a growing pandemic in the world and has likely contributed to increasing the incidence of obesity related diseases. Fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) is the first gene discovered which has close connection with fat. Recent studies suggested FTO gene has played an important role in the molecular mechanisms of many diseases. Obesity is considered to be a hereditary disease and it can evoke many kinds of diseases, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cancer, etc., whose exact possible molecular mechanisms responsible for the effect of FTO on obesity and obesity related diseases remain largely unknown. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the correlation between FTO gene and obesity, cancer, PCOS, T2DM, as well as the molecular mechanism involved in these diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
