Quality of life and its contributors among adults with late-onset Pompe disease in China
Abstract: Background: Pompe disease (PD) is a rare inherited disorder caused by the deficiency of acid-α glucosidase, which leads to the impairment of organ and tissue functions and causes disabilities. As the first national...
Quality of life and its contributors among adults with late-onset Pompe disease in China.
BACKGROUND: Pompe disease (PD) is a rare inherited disorder caused by the deficiency of acid-α glucosidase, which leads to the impairment of organ and tissue functions and causes disabilities. As the first national survey on...
Erythrocyte n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, Gut Microbiota, and Incident Type 2 Diabetes
Doing “gendered exit”
Previous research into the exclusion of disabled persons from paid work tends to compartmentalize them into a stable and undifferentiated category of “cared‐for” subjects. This fixation implicitly approves the ethics of work as...
Association of migration status with quality of life among rural and urban adults with rare diseases
BACKGROUND: A considerable proportion of rare disease patients decide to migrate to access a definitive diagnosis or appropriate care, which could affect their quality of life in a long term. OBJECTIVE: To compare quality of...
Anisotropic Surface Remeshing without Obtuse Angles
We present a novel anisotropic surface remeshing method that can efficiently eliminate obtuse angles. Unlike previous work that can only suppress obtuse angles with expensive resampling and Lloyd-type iterations, our method...

BACKGROUND: Older adults who live alone and have difficulties in activities of daily living (ADLs) may have been more vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about pandemic-related changes in ADL...
Cross-sectional and plan-view cathodoluminescence of GaN partially coalesced above a nanocolumn array
The optical properties of GaN layers coalesced above an array of nanocolumns have important consequences for advanced optoelectronic devices. GaN nanocolumns coalesced using a nanoscale epitaxial overgrowth technique have been...

Durable superhydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride membranes via facile spray-coating for effective membrane distillation
Jiuyang Lin, Jiale Du, Shuangling Xie, Fan Yu, Shengqiong Fang, Zhongsen Yan, Xiaocheng Lin, Dong Zou, Ming Xie, Wenyuan Ye
Sep 15, 2022
Membrane wetting and fouling substantially limits application and deployment of membrane distillation process. Designing high-performance superhydrophobic membranes offers an effective solution to solve the challenge. In this...
Polycystin-1 inhibits eIF2α phosphorylation and cell apoptosis through a PKR-eIF2α pathway.

Jan 17, 2018
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in PKD1 or PKD2 which encodes polycystin-1 (PC1) and polycystin-2, respectively. PC1 was previously shown to slow cell proliferation and inhibit...
Blumenols as shoot markers of root symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
