Are Competitive Public Service Exams Counter‐Productive? A Survey Experiment From Two East Asian States Open
Public service exams are extremely competitive in East Asia. Does a high entry bar impede people with high public service motivation (PSM) from taking the exam? If so, what kinds of people are interested in taking a difficult public servic…

Development of a Biodegradable PLGA Carrier to Provide Wnt Agonists and Antibiotics to Meet the Requirements for Patients with Bone Infections Open
Antibiotic beads can be used to treat surgical infections. In this study, polylactide–polyglycolide (PLGA) was mixed with vancomycin, the osteogenic enhancer lithium chloride (LiCl), and hot compression to form PLGA-vancomycin-LiCl deliver…

Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Intervention on the Degenerated Intervertebral Disc: From Molecular Mechanisms to Animal Models Open
MicroRNA (miRNA) 107 expression is downregulated but Wnt3a protein and β-catenin are upregulated in degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD). We investigated mir-107/Wnt3a-β-catenin signaling in vitro and in vivo following hyperbaric oxygen (…

Quantitative lateral flow immunoassay for rapid detection of procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide in the monitoring of osteoporosis treatment Open
Appropriate follow-up after treatment initiation in patients with osteoporosis is challenging. Serum biomarkers may offer more efficient monitoring of bone mineral density (BMD) than the currently used dual X-ray absorptiometry; however, s…

Development of a multiplex and sensitive lateral flow immunoassay for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection Open
The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains a challenge. However, recent studies showed that synovial fluid biomarkers have demonstrated greater diagnostic accuracy than the currently used PJI diagnostic tests. In many di…

The Grass is Greener, But Why? Evidence of Employees’ Perceived Sector Mismatch from the US, New Zealand, and Taiwan Open
To answer the question of who wants to work for the government, scholars have relied on a few approaches, including sector preference, sector-based comparison of work motives, and sector-switching patterns of job mobility. The present stud…
