Clinical evaluation of kit based Tc-99m-HYNIC-RGD2 for imaging angiogenesis in breast carcinoma patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Radiolabeled RGD peptide can be used for noninvasive in vivo imaging of α v β 3 integrin receptors leading to early detection of tumor cells and hence improving the clinical outcomes. In the present study single vial kit based HYNIC RGD 2 was radiolabeled with Tc-99m and evaluated in patients with breast carcinoma. Methods Radiolabeling was performed via bifunctional chelator method. Tc-99m 1110–2960 MBq (30–80 mCi) was added to the HYNIC-RGD 2 vial. The reaction mixture was heated for 20 minutes at 100°C. After performing the quality checks, whole-body planar imaging was performed in 20 patients at 2–2.5 h post i.v. injection of 555–740 MBq (15–20 mCi) of the radiotracer. Results Radiolabeling yield of ≥98% was observed in all the formulations. Quality control tests indicated the suitability of radiopharmaceutical for intravenous administration. Physiological uptake of Tc-99m HYNIC-RGD 2 was observed in the nasopharynx, salivary glands, liver, spleen, and intestine. Good uptake of radiotracer was observed in breast lesions of 18 patients. Two patients were observed to be negative. Increased uptake was also seen in metastatic sites in two patients and in lymph nodes in three patients. Scintigraphy findings were in corroboration with pathological observations. Conclusion The single vial cold kit based radiolabeling of Tc-99m HYNIC-RGD 2 is facile leading to its easy availability. Tc-99m HYNIC-RGD 2 is a promising radiopharmaceutical which can be used for the molecular imaging of angiogenesis in breast carcinoma patients.
Simulation by NCSOIL of Net Mineralization in Soils from the Deherain and 36 Parcelles Fields at Grignon

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Soil N and C mineralization was measured from the Deherain and 36 Parcelles fields at the experimental station of Grignon, France. In the Deherain plots, manure and inorganic N effects have been compared on a wheat‐sugarbeet rotation since 1875. In the 36 Parcelles field, the effect of composted straw and inorganic N on the soil organic matter have been studied since 1959 on bare plots. Control plots without any organic or inorganic additions were maintained in both fields. In cultivated and bare plots, rates of C mineralization were similar when soils had been organically amended (farm manure or composted straw). The addition of inorganic N increased the soil total organic N and C content in comparison to the respective control plots, but it did not change the rates of N and C mineralization. Net N mineralization was linear and the determination of potentially net mineralizable N ( N o ) as the asymptotic value of an exponential kinetic gave aberrant values. A new approach to measure N o was proposed using the model NCSOIL which simultaneously simulates N and C dynamics in soil. The N o was quantified as the initial N content of the model's pool I plus pool II which represent the soil active organic matter involved in N and C turnover.
A Review on Resveratrol-loaded Liposome and Its Characterisation

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) is a stilbene-type natural polyphenol found in a variety of plant species, including grapes, berries, peanuts, and red wine. Many studies have demonstrated that resveratrol as a nutraceutical supplement, exhibits numerous pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardio-protective, neuroprotective, chemo-preventive, and anti-aging. Despite its health-beneficial effects, resveratrol has extremely low water solubility, high absorption, and rapid metabolism that consequently reduces its oral bioavailability. Hence, there have been a growing interest in a liposome as a carrier to optimise its limitations over the past few years. The purpose of this research is to review the potential of liposomes as a suitable carrier to optimise resveratrol limitations and evaluate characteristics pertaining to resveratrol-loaded liposomes based on the articles that have been published. The method for literature search is based on three search strategies: 1) database searches (PubMed free search engine from the United States National Library of Medicine and the Science Direct browser from Elsevier); 2) web-based searches (Google Scholar); and 3) citation searches. The selected articles were restricted from 2016 to 2021 in English, where 107 articles were chosen. This review summarises the findings of liposomes incorporating resveratrol in recently published articles and highlights the potential of liposomes in improving resveratrol limitations, consequently, promoting its pharmacological effects. Therefore, characteristics such as particle size, morphology, in-vitro drug release, entrapment efficiency, and stability test, were also evaluated. Resveratrol-loaded liposomes provide excellent solubility, stability, improved drug release, and high entrapment efficiency; thus, it may increase oral bioavailability and efficacy, both of which would promote its pharmacological effects.
Improving the Quality of Image in Virtual Reality Applications for Industry

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

One of the pylons of the Industry 4.0 is augmented and virtual reality. It can improve the perception on the industrial processes in real time and more. The purpose of this research is to provide a practical guide and an effective starting point regarding the real possibilities to extend the way of using VR HMDs (e.g.: Oculus Rift, HTC Vive etc.), gathering together Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Gesture Interaction in a unique project. The project relies on the Leap Motion controller. This controller has an integrated infrared depth camera wich can be used as an input video feed for stereoscopic view on Oculus Rift, in the same time, projecting the raw images of your hands into a 3D mesh that can interact with other objects in real-world space (in our case a 3D model of a complex product). The part of the mesh that you can see is covered by the passthrough from the twin Leap Motion cameras. Each camera provides a separate view of your hands, so that what you see has actual depth. We can interact with the 3d model and show some functional animations. We present a part of an industrial application of VR used into a common industry (door locks manufacturing industry), which can be useful for research and for traning and advertising, too.
Fine-tuning LLaMA 2 interference: a comparative study of language implementations for optimal efficiency

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a comparative study aimed at optimizing Llama2 inference, a critical aspect of machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). We evaluate various programming languages and frameworks, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Python, Mojo, C++, and Java, analyzing their performance in terms of speed, memory consumption, and ease of implementation through extensive benchmarking. Strengths and limitations of each approach are highlighted, along with proposed optimization strategies for parallel processing and hardware utilization. Furthermore, we investigate the Mojo SDK, a novel framework designed for large language model (LLM) inference on Apple Silicon, benchmarking its performance against implementations in C, C++, Rust, Zig, Go, and Julia. Our experiments, conducted on an Apple M1 Max, demonstrate Mojo SDK's competitive performance, ease of use, and seamless Python compatibility, positioning it as a strong alternative for LLM inference on Apple Silicon. We also discuss broader implications for LLM deployment on resource-constrained hardware and identify potential directions for future research.
P‐85: Improvement of the Transmittance of ADS Mode in 8K Display

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

One of the main factors for popularization of 8K TV is the drastically deteriorated transmittance. We proposed several ways to improve the transmittance of ADS mode in 8K display, such as modifying the traditional pixel layout and adopting new materials. The transmittance gap between 4K and 8K has narrowed.
Ultrasound‐Based Local Lung Motion Assessment Using Synthetic Lateral Phase

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Background Ultrasound lung surface motion measurement is valuable for the evaluation of a variety of diseases. Speckle tracking or Doppler‐based techniques are limited by the loss of visualization as a tracked point moves under ribs or is dependent. Methods We developed a synthetic lateral phase‐based algorithm for tracking lung motion to overcome these limitations. To validate the technique, we generated simulated lung motion images. We also obtained lung ultrasound cines from a healthy volunteer and a mechanically ventilated COVID‐19 patient. In the healthy volunteer, the respiratory pattern varied between breath‐hold, regular, and rapid shallow breathing. Results The measured displacement was within 3% of the ground truth for simulated cines. In both the healthy volunteer and COVID‐19 patients, measured displacement was greatest in the lower and lateral zones of the lung when the ipsilateral side was compared. In the healthy volunteer, when the respiratory pattern was varied, measured displacement was greater in regular breathing compared to rapid shallow breathing and compared to breath‐hold patterns in both the upper and lower lung zones. Conclusion Estimation of lung surface displacement using a synthetic lateral phase‐based approach is feasible. Future human studies should validate this approach against a direct measurement of lung surface movement.
Pseudoruegeria aquimaris gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from seawater of the East Sea in Korea

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

A Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, SW-255 T , was isolated from seawater from Hwajinpo, on the coast of the East Sea, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain SW-255 T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 37 °C in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C 18 : 1 ω 7 c as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 67.0 mol%. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SW-255 T is phylogenetically closely related to the genera Ruegeria and Silicibacter of the Alphaproteobacteria . The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain SW-255 T and the type strains of Ruegeria atlantica and two Silicibacter species were in the range 95.8–96.2 %. A phylogenetic tree based on gyrB sequences showed that strain SW-255 T forms a distinct evolutionary lineage within the Alphaproteobacteria . Differential phenotypic properties, polar lipid profiles and DNA G+C contents, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness, suggest that strain SW-255 T should be distinguished from the members of the genera Ruegeria and Silicibacter . On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain SW-255 T represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Pseudoruegeria aquimaris gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pseudoruegeria aquimaris is SW-255 T (=KCTC 12737 T =JCM 13603 T ).

Facile Fabrication of Bicomponent CoO/CoFe2O4‐N‐Doped Graphene Hybrids with Ultrahigh Lithium Storage Capacity

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

A facile strategy is developed to fabricate bicomponent CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 ‐N‐doped graphene hybrids (CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 ‐NG). These hybrids are demonstrated to be potential high‐performance anodes for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). The CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 nanoplatelets are finely dispersed on the surface of N‐doped graphene nanosheets (CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 ‐NG). The CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 ‐NG electrode exhibits ultrahigh specific capacity with 1172 mA h g −1 at 500 mA g −1 and 970 mA h g −1 at 1000 mA g −1 as well as excellent cycle stability due to the synergetic effects of N‐doped graphene and CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 nanoplatelets. The well‐dispersed bicomponent CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 is responsible for the high specific capacity. The N‐doped graphene with high specific surface area has dual roles: to provide active sites for dispersing the CoO/CoFe 2 O 4 species and to function as an electrical conducting matrix for fast charge transfer. This method provides a simple and efficient way to configure the hybridized electrode materials with high lithium storage capacity.

Palliative Nursing for Cancer Patients as an Abstract Concept: A Hermeneutic Study

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Background: Understanding the outcomes of palliative care (PC) that is provided to patients with cancer is necessary. Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of Iranian nurses with regard to PC outcomes in cancer patients. Methods: This hermeneutic study interviewed 14 nurses to understand their lived experiences with regard to PC outcomes in cancer patients. A seven-stage process of data analysis was employed. Results: One constitutive pattern “palliative nursing for cancer patients is an abstractive concept” and the two associated themes of “providing excellent PC” and “PC as an alarm” were identified. Providing excellent PC had two subthemes: being a unique nurse and experiencing the humanistic approach to caring. PC as an alarm also had two subthemes: caring-related concerns and challenging issues caused by caring. Conclusions: The findings provide a deeper understanding of the nursing experience with regard to PC outcomes in cancer patients.
Zelman v. Simmons-Harris: Remarks from a National Press Club Panel

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The following is the text of remarks made at a panel discussion sponsored by the Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life and held at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. the day after the Supreme Court’s decision in the school voucher case of Zelman v. SimmonsHarris. In that case, a majority of the court upheld the constitutionality of a voucher system run in the City of Cleveland, Ohio. The decision deeply divided the Court, with five justices broadly upholding the program as constitutional because the government aid was neutral towards religion and passed through the hands of parents who themselves made the final decision where to send the aid, whether secular or religious schools. Four justices strongly dissented. They questioned the neutrality of a program where 96% of the students using vouchers attended religious schools, and argued that the decision was a dramatic departure from the long-standing constitutional principle that tax-payers should not be compelled to support religious views they do not believe in.
Introduction of a New Daylighting Quality Benchmarking Method

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Daylighting regains its status in illuminating interiors in the wake of building sustainability. The trend of lighting research has turned back to improving indoor daylighting quality such that occupants would enjoy good task visibility and visual comfort. The daylight factor giving the daylight availability from a static overcast sky is the common method for daylighting assessment, but daylighting quality should be evaluated in a broader way and occupants' perception should be emphasized. This paper develops a daylighting quality benchmarking method based on the weights of importance of five decision factors previously identified by the authors and demonstrates the methodology used for determining a novel multi-criteria daylighting quality index (DQI) using real climatic data and computer simulations. An associated 5-star rating scale is also proposed for categorizing daylighting quality. The results show that cellular offices with small windows facing external obstructions would not have high star ratings and that increasing the window area and/or removing external obstructions would improve the DQI and star rating.
Influence of extrusion on expansion, functional and digestibility properties of whole sweetpotato flour

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Beerwah Gold, Northern Star, Snow White, and L49 cultivars of sweetpotato from Australia and Papua New Guinea, were studied for their extrusion behaviours in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder at three moisture (30, 35, 40 g/100 g) and screw speed (150, 220, 300 rpm) levels with a slit die. Low moisture increased the die pressure (2–6 bar) and specific mechanical energy (280–600 kJ/kg) of the extruder. Expansion, functional and digestibility properties of the extrudates were extrusion-dependent and cultivar-specific. Extrusion moisture increased the longitudinal expansion (15–30 m/kg) of the extrudates, which were almost completely gelatinised (100 g/100 g degree of gelatinisation). In-vitro starch digestion revealed that salivary-gastric digestion in the extrudates ranged from 8 to 18 g/100 g dry starch, while the rate of starch digestion was 3.0–3.7 min−1. Salivary-gastric digestion in the non-extrudates was from 2 to 11 g/100 g dry starch, with the rate of starch digestion being 0.1–0.8 min−1. Estimated glyceamic index of the extrudates ranged from 87 to 124 g/100 g, higher than in the non-extrudates and dependent on extrusion moisture and screw speed. This is the first study on extrusion-property relationships of the cultivars to guide global utilisation of sweetpotato.

Emergency defibrillation performed by coronary nursing staff: A pilot report.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The time taken to initiate defibrillation is a key factor in determining survival after cardiac arrest; all first-responding medical or paramedical personnel are thus recommended to receive training in defibrillation skills. We have recently established a working programme that allows trained coronary care nurses to defibrillate in emergencies. Prospective data collected from 1 October 1996 to 31 January 1997 showed that a total of 11 witnessed episodes of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia occurred in nine patients, and were defibrillated by nurses. All the defibrillations were started within 1 minute of cardiac arrest. In five patients, defibrillation was commenced before the arrival of the crash team of doctors; three of the five patients survived. There were no violations of the resuscitation protocol or complications relating to defibrillation. Through programmed training in advanced cardiac life-support, coronary care nurses are capable of providing safe and prompt defibrillation. The importance of training and re-certification is also stressed.
