1. IntroductionAdvancements in automation technology have driven significant developments in oil drilling and extraction equipment [1,2]. Among these, the power catwalk, an auxiliary device on oil rigs, serves primarily to transport drill pipes to and from the drill floor [3]. Previously, drill pipe transportation typically relied on cranes or other equipment, which were inefficient and demanded excessive manual intervention. Consequently, power catwalks effectively address these issues [4].

AbstractBACKGROUND: Angiogenesis is an important repair mechanism for myocardial infarction. Neuroligin-3 (NLGN3) can promote angiogenesis by activating Gαi1/3-Akt signaling following ischemic brain injury. This study investigated the role of NLGN3 in myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS AND RESULTS: On the 7th day after MI, the plasma level of NLGN3 in patients was significantly higher than in the control group.
