Objective To compare the effects of speech recognition scores in young normal hearing adults using single-channel adaptive microphone and multi-channel microphone paradigm.Methods 30 normal hearing young adults,15 females and 15 males with a total of 60 ears were fitted binaurally with Diva 9(single-channel adaptive directional microphone mode)and Inteo 9(multi-channel adaptive directional microphone mode).The speech recognition scores were compared as a function of different signal to noise ratios in a diffuse environment.Results The SNR of L50 of single-channel adaptive directional microphone mode was 0.63 dB and that of multi-channel adaptive directional microphone mode was-4.63 dB.There was significant difference between the two microphone setups.Conclusion Multi-channel adaptive directional microphone mode can improve the speech recognition score in noise.

Single-cell proteome analysis can perform in-depth research on cell heterogeneity and further promote the development of precision medicine and tumor research. In recent years, mass spectrometry-based proteomics has made substantial progress, but proteomics analysis at the single-cell level still faces sensitivity challenges. At present, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry has become the main analysis method of proteomics. Because of its high sensitivity, high throughput, and high stability, it has been widely used in the field of single cells. In recent years, the representative single-cell proteomics methods can be divided into three types: single-tube technology, microfluidic platform, and integrated processing platform according to different sample processing methods. Different kinds of data collection and analysis methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If single-cell proteomics, still a laboratory study, can be applied in diagnostic practice as soon as possible, it will definitely promote the progress of precision medicine and oncology research.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the intervention effect of Chinese medicine on the structure and function of testicular Sertoli cells in animal models of impaired spermatogenesis. MethodThe databases, such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),VIP,Wanfang Data,EMbase,and Pubmed,were searched for experimental studies on the effect of Chinese medicine on the structure and function of testicular Sertoli cells in animal models with impaired spermatogenesis. The included studies were evaluated for risks of bias,and the outcome indicators were analyzed with RevMan and Stata software. ResultThirty studies were included,involving 37 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). As indicated by the Meta-analysis results, compared with the model group,Chinese medicine increased sperm density(SMD=2.42,95% confidence interval(CI)[1.47,3.37],P<0.000 01), promoted sperm motility(SMD=2.35,95%CI [1.70, 2.99],P<0.000 01), up-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of Vimentin (related to Sertoli cell cytoskeleton), elevated the levels of Occludin and Claudin-11 (related to tight junction of blood-testis barrier), boosted the levels of β-catenin and N-cadherin (related to adherens junction of blood-testis barrier), raised the level of connexin 43 (Cx43, related to gap junction of blood-testis barrier), improved the function of Sertoli cells, increased the serum content of Inhibin B (INHB), and up-regulated the levels of testicular follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), INHB mRNA, androgen-binding protein (ABP) mRNA, transferrin(TF),stem cell factor(SCF),SCF mRNA,glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF),GDNF mRNA,bone morphogenetic protein 4(BMP4),and BMP4 mRNA (P<0.05). ConclusionChinese medicine can effectively increase sperm density and motility of animal models of impaired spermatogenesis,and improve the structure and function of testicular Sertoli cells. However,affected by the quality of the included studies,the above conclusion needs to be further verified by relevant high-quality studies.
