¹Department of Psychology, School of Social Sciences, Tsinghua University, ²Department of Computer Science, Beijing Normal University, ³Haier Innovation Design Center, Haier Company

The presented protocol integrates various evaluation methods and demonstrates a method to evaluate the keyboard design on smartphones. Pairs matched by English characters are proposed as the input material, and the transition time between two keys is used as the dependent variable.

Biology

Surgically Induced Cardiac Volume Overload by Aortic Regurgitation in Mouse

Jian Wu^*1, Shijun Wang^*1, Le Kang^*1, Chunjie Yang^*1, Jianguo Jia¹, Xingxu Wang², Ge Wei¹, Xuan Li¹, Jieyun You², Yunzeng Zou¹

¹Shanghai Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Zhongshan Hospital and Institutes of Biomedical Sciences, Fudan University, ²Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Shanghai East Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University

This protocol presents a practical guide on the surgery for creation of aortic regurgitation (AR) in the mouse. Assessment of the AR mouse by echocardiography and invasive hemodynamic measurement recapitulates its clinically relevant characteristics of volume overload-induced eccentric hypertrophy, suggesting its promising application in the study of cardiac hypertrophy.
