Association between the subclinical level of problematic internet use and habenula volume: a look at mediation effect of neuroticism by Toshiya Murai, Hironobu Fujiwara, Qi Dai, Halwa Zakia, Yusuke Kyuragi, Naoya Oishi, Yuzuki Ishikawa, Lichang Yao, Morio Aki

“…The significant trait was then treated as a mediator between Hb volume and IAT correlation in mediation analysis with a bootstrap value of 5000.Results Relative Hb volume was negatively correlated with IAT scores (partial rho=−0.142, p=0.009). The IAT score was positively correlated with neuroticism (partial rho=0.430, p<0.001) and negatively correlated with extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness (partial rho=−0.213, p<0.001; partial rho=−0.279, p<0.001; and partial rho=−0.327, p<0.001). …”

The role of homogenization cycles and Poloxamer 188 on the quality of mitochondria isolated for use in mitochondrial transplantation therapy by Ryosuke Takegawa, Kei Hayashida, Atsushi Murao, Yusuke Endo, Cyrus E. Kuschner, Jacob Kazmi, Eriko Nakamura, Ping Wang, Lance B. Becker

“…P-188 significantly increased the JC-1 ratio from 10.26 ± 2.57 to 33.78 ± 17.78 (P = 0.023). Particle size and count analysis revealed that 10 cycles homogenization significantly increased particle count compared to 3 cycles homogenization (P = 0.0001), but was associated with smaller particle sizes (P = 0.0031). …”

Permeability Characteristics of Water-Sand Seepage in Fracture by Experiment by Yu Liu, Shuncai Li, Wei Li, Zhihao Luo, Liming Wu, Zhipeng Xu

“…The results show that the hysteresis curve changes from type I to type IV with the increase in sand particle size and concentration. The hysteresis parameters are described by the maximum hysteresis Gp∗ and the hysteresis area S, both of which show an increasing trend with the increase in sand particle size and concentration; however, this increase is not synchronous. …”
