Despite of the changes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rise when bystander CPR is provided, this was only conducted in about 23% of OHCA patients in Korea in 2018. Police officers acting as first responders have a high chance of witnessing situations requiring CPR. We investigated long-term effects on CPR quality between chest compression-only CPR training and conventional CPR training in police officers to find an efficient CPR training method in a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Police officers underwent randomization and received different CPR training. With the Brayden Pro application, we compared the accuracy of CPR skills immediately after training and the one after 3 months. Right after training, the conventional CPR group presented the accuracy of the CPR skills (compression rate 74.6%, compression depth 66.0%, recoil 78.0%, compression position 96.1%) and chest compression-only CPR group presented the accuracy of the CPR skills (compression rate 74.5%, compression depth 71.6%, recoil 79.2%, compression position 99.0%). Overall, both groups showed the good quality of CPR skills and had no meaningful difference right after the training. However, three months after training, overall accuracy of CPR skills decreased, a significant difference between two groups was observed for compression position (conventional CPR 80.0%, chest compression only CPR 95.0%). In multiple linear regression analysis, three months after CPR training, chest compression-only CPR training made CPR skills accuracy 28.5% higher. In conclusion, police officers showed good-quality CPR right after CPR training in both groups.

Therefore, chest compression-only CPR training is better to be a standard training method for police officers as first responders.Hemicellulose-based composite hydrogels were successfully prepared by adding polydopamine (PDA) microspheres as reinforcing agents. The effects of PDA microsphere size, dosage, and nitrogen content in hydrogel on the mechanical and rheological properties was studied. The compressive strength of hydrogel was increased from 0.11 to 0.30 MPa. The storage modulus G' was increased from 7.9 to 22.0 KPa. The gaps in the hemicellulose network are filled with PDA microspheres. There is also chemical cross-linking between them. These gaps increased the density of the hydrogel network structure. It also has good water retention and pH sensitivity. The maximum cumulative release rate of methylene blue was 62.82%. The results showed that the release behavior of hydrogel was pH-responsive, which was beneficial to realizing targeted and controlling drug release.Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) is an essential protein that regulates cellular processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. It is known to bind with several proteins to carry out various cellular functions. In this study, we report for the first time that IGFBP-3 is a histone 3 (H3) binding protein. Sub-cellular fractionation was performed to separate into cytosolic fraction, nucleic acid binding protein fraction and insoluble nuclear fraction. Using ligand blot analysis, we identified a ~15 kDa protein that can interact with IGFBP-3 in the insoluble nuclear fraction. The 15 kDa protein was confirmed as histone 3 by far-Western blot analysis and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. A dot-blot experiment further validated the binding of IGFBP-3 with H3. The intensity of IGFBP-3 on dot-blot showed a proportional increase with H3 concentrations between 2.33 pmol-37.42 pmol. Our results support the presence of protein-protein interaction between IGFBP-3 and H3. The physical binding between IGFBP-3 and H3 could indicate its yet another cellular role in regulating the chromatin remodeling for gene transcription.In the past decade cardiopulmonary nematodes affecting felids have become a core research topic in small animal parasitology. In the late 2000s, an increase in studies was followed by unexpected findings in the early 2010s, which have stimulated research teams to start investigating these intriguing parasites. Prolific scientific debate and exchanges have then fostered field and laboratory studies and epi-zootiological surveys. New data have improved basic and applied knowledge, solved dilemmas and posed new questions. This article discusses the past and present background to felid cardiopulmonary nematodes after the last few years of intense scientific research. New data which have demonstrated the key role of Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior in causing respiratory infections in domestic cats, and on the nil to negligible current importance of other species, i.e., Troglostrongylus subcrenatus, Oslerus rostratus and Angiostrongylus chabaudi, are presented. Biological information and hypothesized alternative routes of infection are analysed and discussed. Novel identification and taxonomical data and issues are reported and commented upon. On the whole, recent biological, ecological and epi-zootiological information on felid meta-strongyloids is critically analysed, with the aim to answer outstanding questions, stimulate future studies, and underline new research perspectives.How to support massive access efficiently is one of the challenges in the future Internet of Things (IoT) systems. To address such challenge, this paper proposes an effective preamble collision resolution scheme to sustain massive random access (RA) for an IoT system. Specifically, a new sub-preamble structure is first proposed to reduce the preamble collision probability. To identify different devices that send the same preamble to the gNB on the same physical random access channel (PRACH), a multiple timing advance (TA) capturing scheme is then proposed. Thereafter, an RA scheme is designed to sustain massive access and the performance of the scheme is studied analytically. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed RA scheme is validated by extensive simulation experiments in terms of preamble detection probability, preamble collision probability, RA success probability, resource efficiency and TA capturing.
