Abstract Background Hepatocyte transplantation has been proposed as an effective treatment for patients with acute liver failure (ALF), but its application is limited by a severe shortage of donor livers.Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have emerged as a potential cell source for regenerative medicine.Human amniotic epithelial stem cells (hAESC
Experimental study on the synchronization mechanism and trigger characteristic density of vertical evacuation in crowds
Abstract Due to simultaneous horizontal and vertical displacement during vertical evacuation, the consequences of stampede congestion accidents can be more Towel Warmer severe.Generally, pedestrians trigger a synchronization mechanism at some point during the vertical evacuation process.This synchronization behavior helps prevent stampede congestio

Feasibility of free-breathing quantitative myocardial perfusion using multi-echo Dixon magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract Dynamic contrast-enhanced quantitative first-pass perfusion using magnetic resonance imaging enables non-invasive objective assessment of myocardial ischemia without ionizing radiation.However, quantification of perfusion is challenging due to the non-linearity between the magnetic resonance signal intensity and contrast agent concentratio
