Objective To review the progress and application of peripheral nervous microelectrode. Methods The recent articles on peripheral nervous microelectrode were extensively reviewed. The classification, the progress of the peripheral nervous microelectrode and its utilizable prospect in the control of electronic prosthesis were summarized. Results The microelectrodes had favorable functions of selective stimulation and recording. It provided an information transmitting interface between the electric prosthesis and peripheral nerves. Conclusion Peripheral nervous signal is a feasible signal source to control electronic prosthesis.
ObjectiveTo comprehensively analyze the relationship between microRNAs and intervertebral disc degeneration at home and abroad. MethodsThe literature about the relationship between microRNAs and intervertebral disc degeneration was reviewed and analyzed. ResultsMicroRNA can lead to intervertebral disc degeneration by regulating the gene expression, thus influencing the cell's apoptosis and proliferation, increasing of the production of inflammatory mediator and protease, which play important roles in intervertebral disc degeneration. ConclusionMicroRNA is a research focus in the field of intervertebral disc degeneration. Further research of the relationship between microRNAs and intervertebral disc degeneration will help to identify the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration and furnish the new ideal for the diagnosis and treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.
