Here we provide supplemental materials for our study: A Comprehensive Learnability Framework for Mobile Application Design for Older Adults. The study provides in-depth theoretical analysis and practical guidance for learnability design of mobile phone app for older adults. The Learnability Design for Older Adults (OLD) framework, which contained two parts (part 1: seven factors, 22 principles and 77 design issues; part 2: 168 design-stage-based learnability guidelines), was proposed through literature review and an explorative usability...

Introduction: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) usually occurs in the second and third trimesters. The disease's etiology and diagnostic criteria are currently unknown. Based on a sequence window to obtain all theoretical fragment ions (SWATH) proteomic approach, this study sought to identify potential proteins in placental tissue that may be involved in the pathogenesis of ICP and adverse fetal pregnancy outcomes. Methods: The postpartum placental tissue of pregnant women with ICP were chosen as the...

The effects of different soil properties on hydrology and nitrogen removal were studied in a simulated bioretention system. Soil capacity of permeability and water retention, changes in the soil environment, leachate concentrations at the surface and bottom layers, quantification of N removal from soil, microorganism and plant by 15N isotope tracer technique, and functional genes abundance at different depths were evaluated. The results showed that shallow root plants, soil compaction, and low organic matter content...

Epidemiological and interventional studies have been rarely conducted among those with positive interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) results and radiologically inactive tuberculosis (TB) lesions on chest radiograph. This study aimed to estimate the effectiveness and safety of a 6-week twice-weekly regimen (rifapentine plus isoniazid) among this key population in rural China. First, chest digital radiography was conducted to screen individuals with inactive TB lesions. Then, the identified participants were further evaluated and eligible participants with IGRA...

Replicating SARS-CoV-2 has been shown to degrade HLA class I on target cells to evade the cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response. HLA-I downregulation can be sensed by NK cells to unleash killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-mediated self-inhibition by the cognate HLA-I ligands. Here, we investigated the impact of HLA and KIR genotypes and HLA-KIR combinations on COVID-19 outcome. We found that the peptide affinities of HLA alleles were not correlated with COVID-19 severity. The predicted poor...

Many hydro-metallurgical methods are developed to recover vanadium, while the ammonium salts precipitation possesses the final step and it has threatened to the environment. The key point is to find a new compound to replace ammonium salts without reducing the vanadium recovery efficiency. Some compounds with -NH2 function group have attracted our attention as they have similar function group with ammonium salts. In this paper, the adsorption of vanadium with melamine is conducted. The results...
