STAPHYLOCOCCAL INFECTION IN DOGS (DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION) by V. B. Rudenko, P. A. Rudenko, S. G. Semushina, I. A. Pakhomova

“…In addition to the pathological agent, the following extra factors are needed for the disease clinical manifestation: immune deficiency, metabolic disorder, parasitic disease, manipulations resulting in damage to the skin and mucosa integrity. The fact that domestic animals can be a source of infection for people can be another reason behind an increasing interest in staphylococcal infection. …”

Different Dietary Proportions of Fish Oil Regulate Inflammatory Factors but Do Not Change Intestinal Tight Junction ZO-1 Expression in Ethanol-Fed Rats by Yi-Wen Chien, Hsiang-Chi Peng, Ya-Ling Chen, Man-Hui Pai, Hsiao-Yun Wang, Hsiao-Li Chuang, Suh-Ching Yang

“…Only group CF57 displayed a significantly higher ZO-1 immunoreactive area compared to group C (p=0.0415). 25% or 57% fish oil substituted for dietary olive oil could prevent ethanol-induced liver damage in rats, but the mechanism might not be related to intestinal tight junction ZO-1 expression.…”

Hippocampus-sparing volume-modulated arc therapy in patients with World Health Organization grade II glioma: a feasibility study by Renxian Xie, Renxian Xie, Hongxin Huang, Hongxin Huang, Qingxin Cai, Jiayang Lu, Tong Chen, Tong Chen, Keyan Xie, Jianzhou Chen, Chuangzhen Chen

“…Notably, HS VMAT plans markedly decreased doses to the ipsilateral hippocampus and the contralateral hippocampus, demonstrating its efficacy in hippocampal dose reduction.ConclusionThe HS VMAT plan can be used to efficiently lower the dosage delivered to the hippocampus and may, to some extent, help lessen the risk of cognitive damage. The encouraging results of our study need to be further validated by clinical trials to confirm the benefits of the HS VMAT plans in preserving cognitive functions in patients with glioma.…”

Blockchain covert communication scheme based on the cover of normal transactions by Pengkun JIANG, Wenyin ZHANG, Jiuru WANG, Shanyun HUANG, Wanshui SONG

“…With the development of computer technology, the situation of modern network attack and defense is becoming increasingly severe, and the problem of secure transmission of secret information needs to be solved urgently.Covert communication technology embeds secret information into the carrier and transmits the information safely through the covert channel.However, the traditional covert channels face the challenges of data damaging, attack, detection and so on, which cannot meet the higher security requirements.As a public data platform, blockchain can embed secret information under the cover of a large number of transactions.With its tamper proof, anonymity, decentralization and other characteristics, blockchain can well solve the problems of traditional covert channels and achieve secure covert communication.However, the existing blockchain covert communication schemes are limited by low communication efficiency and poor security.How to improve safety and efficiency of covert communication is a research focus of blockchain covert communication.Motivated by this issue, a blockchain covert communication scheme based on the cover of normal transactions was proposed.The hash algorithm was used to build a transmission-free password table to embed secret information without changing any transaction data.Using the elliptic curve feature, transactions with hidden information can be quickly screened out from a large number of transactions, to extract secret information quickly.This scheme improves the security and efficiency of covert communication and has strong portability.Theoretical analysis shows that attackers cannot distinguish between ordinary transactions and special transactions.This scheme has high anti-detection and scalability.Besides, the experimental results of the bitcoin test network show the high efficiency of this scheme.…”
