Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) constitute the most common form of substance abuse. The development of AUDs involves repeated alcohol use leading to tolerance, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, and physical and psychological dependence, with loss of ability to control excessive drinking. Currently there is no effective therapeutic agent for AUDs without major side effects. Dihydromyricetin (DHM; 1 mg/k...

The Discrete Huygens Modeling (DHM) is a numerical method that applies the Huygens physical principle to a discretized medium in order to provide time domain results to wave propagation problems. The method was originally developed for electromagnetism applications, but different works have shown that DHM is also a viable and promising approach for the simulation of acoustic problems. The main ...

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has emerged as a powerful non-invasive tool for cell analysis. It has the capacity to analyse multiple parameters simultaneously, such as cell- number, confluence and phase volume. This is done while cells are still adhered and growing in their culture flask. The aim of this study was to investigate whether DHM was able to monitor drug-induced cell cycle arr...

Digital human modeling (DHM) systems underwent significant development within the last years. They achieved constantly growing importance in the field of ergonomic workplace design, product development, product usability, ergonomic research, ergonomic education, audiovisual marketing and the entertainment industry. They help to design ergonomic products as well as healthy and safe socio-technic...

Dexterous Hand Master (DHM) is one of exoskeletal controlling devices used to measure the positions of an operator’s hand, and utilize these positions to control the motion of a remote manipulator or slave. A simplified kinematics model of a human hand was developed to meet the ability of a proposed DHM glove. Only flexion/extension movements for fingers joints were taken into consideration in ...

BACKGROUND The present study investigated the effect of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury in a rat model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Kidney injury was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by injection of LPS through the tail vein. The rats were treated with 5 µg/kg body weight DHM within 12 h of the LPS administration. The urine of the rats was collected ov...

Introduction: ASEAN Leaders’ Declaration on Disaster Health Management (ALD DHM) (2019-2025) was adopted by the Summit in November 2017 to strengthen DHM system at national and regional levels, Plan of Action (POA) implement ALD endorsed Ministers Meeting August 2019. Knowledge (KM) is one five priority areas POA with relevant targets including academic network establishment, organization confe...

Several digital human modelling (DHM) tools have been developed for simulation and visualisation of human postures and motions. In 2010 the DHM tool IMMA (Intelligently Moving Manikins) was introduced as a DHM tool that uses advanced path planning techniques to generate collision free and biomechanically acceptable motions for digital human models (as well as parts) in complex assembly situatio...

Better understanding of bacteria environment interactions in the context of biofilm formation requires accurate 3-dimentional measurements of bacteria motility. Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) has demonstrated its capability in resolving 3D distribution and mobility of particulates in a dense suspension. Due to their low scattering efficiency, bacteria are substantially difficult to be ima...

The underlying molecular mechanisms for aging-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) are not fully understood. Currently, growing evidences have revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in aging and aging-related diseases. The up-regulation of miR-34a has been reported to be associated with aging-related diseases, and thus it should be a promising therapeutic t...
