Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The development of hydrogel‐impregnated robust interlocking nano connector (HiRINC) aims to address stent migration by improving tissue adhesion and reducing mechanical mismatch in self‐expandable metallic stents (SEMSs). The network‐like porous layer of HiRINC enhances adhesion and energy dissipation, demonstrates through ex vivo and in vivo tests ...

A low-cost, helmet-based, non-invasive ventilator for COVID-19 [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has created an unprecedented need for breathing assistance devices. Since the demand for commercial, full-featured ventilators is far higher than the supply capacity, many rapid-response ventilators are being developed for invasive mechanical ventilation of patients.

Structure and position-aware graph neural network for airway labeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We present a novel graph-based approach for labeling the anatomical branches of a given airway tree segmentation. The proposed method formulates airway labeling as a branch classification problem in the airway tree graph, where branch features are extracted using convolutional neural networks (CNN) and enriched using graph neural networks.

Bilirubin Targeting WNK1 to Alleviate NLRP3‐Mediated Neuroinflammation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.At physiological concentrations, bilirubin binds to the kinase domain of WNK1, thereby augmenting its activity and facilitating the phosphorylation of downstream SPAK/OSR1. This phosphorylation inhibits KCC2 activity, leading to elevate intracellular chloride levels in neurons.

Determinants for adherence to continuous positive airway pressure therapy in obstructive sleep apnea
PLoS ONE, 2017 Background Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is an efficacious treatment for patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, there are only few data on long-term adherence.

Theoretical open-loop model of respiratory mechanics in the extremely preterm infant [PDF]
, 2018 Non-invasive ventilation is increasingly used for respiratory support in preterm infants, and is associated with a lower risk of chronic lung disease. However, this mode is often not successful in the extremely preterm infant in part due to their markedly increased chest wall compliance that does not provide enough structure against which the forces of

LTSP: Long-Term Slice Propagation for Accurate Airway Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Purpose: Bronchoscopic intervention is a widely-used clinical technique for pulmonary diseases, which requires an accurate and topological complete airway map for its localization and guidance. The airway map could be extracted from chest computed tomography (CT) scans automatically by airway segmentation methods. Due to the complex tree-like structure

Pressure Loss and Sound Generated In a Miniature Pig Airway Tree Model [PDF]
Journal of Applied Biotechnology & Bioengineering 3 (2017) 00086, 2017 Background: Pulmonary auscultation is a common tool for diagnosing various respiratory diseases. Previous studies have documented many details of pulmonary sounds in humans. However, information on sound generation and pressure loss inside animal airways is scarce.
