This paper is centered on applying 3D omnidirectional scanning technology to design natural textured fabrics to explore its functionality in psychological healing. The therapeutic potential of fabric art has been widely recognized due to the prevalence of psychological stress in modern society. This study uses 3D omnidirectional scanning technology to scan knitted textures, optimize fabric texture models, and conduct experimental research and material development using elevation and lighting angles. The size, Angle, color, and other factors that affect the experiment of knitted materials were tested, and eight convenient materials were selected for psychological experiments. A two-week experiment was conducted to record and analyze changes in the psychological state of 30 subjects (15 men and 15 women). It was obtained that the intervention group using simulated fabrics decreased from an average of 38.14 to 27.25 in the level of mental awareness, which was significantly higher than the control group (p

Pemphigus is a severe autoimmune disease causing damage of epidermis and mucosa. Patients can produce autoantibodies against structures like intercellular adhesion, which leads to disease. Main pathogenic antibodies include anti-Gsg1 and anti-Gsg3 which cause disease primarily through steric hindrance and signal transduction after antigen-antibody binding. Other antibodies such as anti-Dsc, anti-plakin family, anti-acetylcholine receptor etc. also play an important synergistic effect in the pathogenic process. With the popularization of immunofluorescence, ELISA and other technologies, antibody detection has become an important method for clinical diagnosis and monitoring of pemphigus. Couples of clinical studies have shown that the titers of anti-Dsg1 and Dsg3 antibodies are related to the activity of pemphigus disease, which can also indicate the recurrence of the disease and guide clinical medication. More mechanism research and clinical exploration of pemphigus autoantibodies will help us to cognize the disease further.

In this manuscript, phosphine-dependent [3 + 3] and [4 + 3] annulation reactions of allenoate with aziridines were disclosed. The alkyldiphenylphosphine-promoted [4 + 3] annulation of allenoate with aziridines has been achieved under mild conditions, providing biologically interesting functionalized tetrahydroazepines in moderate to excellent yield with moderate to excellent regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity.

Aqueous zinc bromine batteries (ZBBs) attract extensive research interest owing to their high theoretical energy density, high operating voltage, and low cost. However, they suffer from severe self-discharge and poor cycle life caused by the uncontrolled shuttle of polybromides. Herein, we design a hybrid-aqueous biphasic electrolyte to prevent the shuttle effects of ZBBs, where the hybrid phase consists of polybromides and bromine ions (Br−) dissolved in a co-solvent of tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether and water (TEGDME/H2O), and the aqueous phase mainly contains zinc ions (Zn2+) and sulfate ions (SO42−) in H2O. The polybromides can be confined successfully in the hybrid phase, which is attributed to the stronger interactions of polybromides with TEGDME than H2O and the unique molecular structure of the biphasic electrolyte. The superiority of the biphasic electrolyte is also confirmed by its high ionic conductivity, low volatility and non-flammability. The ZBBs using the biphasic electrolyte show significantly suppressed self-discharge, and a long 400-cycles life at 5 mA h capacity with 99.6% coulombic efficiency, which considerably exceed those of conventional ZBBs (270-cycles life, and 47.4% coulombic efficiency).

Yeast culture (YC) plays a significant role in enhancing the performance and health of poultry breeding. This study investigated the impact of different YC supplementation concentrations (basal diet with 1.0 g/kg and 2.0 g/kg of YC, YC1.0, and YC2.0) on egg production performance, egg quality, antioxidant properties, intestinal mucosal structure, and intestinal flora of laying hens. Both YC1.0 and YC2.0 groups significantly enhanced the egg protein height, Haugh unit, and crude protein content of egg yolks compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The supplementation with YC2.0 notably increased the egg production rate, reduced feed-to-egg ratio, and decreased the broken egg rate compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, YC supplementation enhanced serum total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) activity while reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) content (p < 0.05). Moreover, YC supplementation promoted duodenal villus height and villus ratio in the duodenum and jejunum (p < 0.05). Analysis of cecal microorganisms indicated a decrease in Simpson and Shannon indices with YC supplementation (p < 0.05). YC1.0 reduced the abundance of Proteobacteria, while YC2.0 increased the abundance of Bacteroidales (p < 0.05). Overall, supplementation with YC improved egg production, quality, antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, and cecal microbial composition in laying hens, with significant benefits observed at the 2.0 g/kg supplementation level.
