Association and function analysis of genetic variants and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in a southern Chinese population by Qiulian Liang, Yan Sun, Ming Li, Ruiqi Li, Lijie Nie, Lin Lin, Xiangyuan Yu

“…Then, the false-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis was adopted to confirm the significant associations, and bioinformatics tools were used to explore the potential biological function of studied variants. Finally, risk factors of genetic variants and clinical indicators identified by logistics regression were used to construct a nomogram model for GDM prediction.ResultsIt was shown that the XAB2 gene rs4134819 was significantly associated with GDM susceptibility (CT vs. …”

Design and stability analysis of the multi-pose and multi-function lower limb assist device based on ZMP by ZHOU Xiaochen, SUN Tianxue, ZHANG Baoxu, JIA Bingqi, ZHAO Yanjun

“…ObjectiveTo address the difficulty of traveling for patients with lower limb motor dysfunction and promote the recovery of lower limb function, a multi-posture, multi-functional lower limb assistive device was designed, offering functions for mobility, assisted standing and lower limb rehabilitation training.MethodsThe static simulation was conducted using Ansys software to assess the safety of the device during use; the kinematics and dynamics models of lower limb exoskeleton were established to obtain the spatial posture and theoretical torque of each joint,providing theoretical support for the subsequent prototype fabrication; the "Zero-Moment Point" (ZMP) position model of the human body-assist device system was established, the theoretical ZMP was calculated, and the virtual prototype was imported into Adams software for simulation to obtain the variation in the supporting foot position, the stability of the device was validated by comparing the positions of ZMP and the supporting foot;the physical prototype was constructed.ResultsThe rationality of the prototype design was validated by comparing simulation and experimental data, providing a basis for subsequent research.…”

Terminal power control method of power line carrier communication network based on adaptive hash function by Hong XUE, Jiahan WANG, Yuling SUN, Bo HAN, Yubai XIAO

“…In the control of network terminal power, due to the overall low analysis of network state, the adaptive regulation ability of communication network terminal power is poor.Therefore, the power line carrier communication network terminal power control method based on adaptive hash function was proposed.Considering the dynamic fluctuation of the actual operating state of the power line carrier communication network, the adaptive mechanism was set for the hash function, and the adaptive hash function was constructed for the original running state data, and the final hash value was obtained in the variable chaotic mapping system.In the power control stage of the power line carrier communication network terminal, the communication network terminal was affected by the interference of other communication network terminals, and it was used as the input value of the adaptive hash function to realize the power control of each communication network terminal.In the test results, the proposed control method not only effectively reduces the increase range of network terminal power under constant communication conditions, but also effectively reduces the network terminal power output under dynamic communication conditions, which has a high adaptive adjustment ability.…”
