Mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of articular cartilage defects of the knee: an overview of systematic reviews

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract There is no consensus on the ideal type, dose, expansion, and differentiation of MSCs for treating knee cartilage defects. Our goal was to perform an overview of systematic reviews regarding the use of MSCs for the treatment of articular cartilage lesions of the knee. The overview of systematic reviews followed the Population (patients aged between 18 and 50 years with traumatic knee articular cartilage lesions), Intervention (MSCs treatment), Comparison (autologous chondrocyte implantation or microfracture), and Outcomes (magnetic resonance imaging or second-look knee arthroscopy) matrix. No language restrictions were applied. We assessed methodological quality, reporting standards, and evidence levels. A total of 529 records were retrieved from six databases. After duplicate removal and eligibility screening, nine systematic reviews were included, and three were updated with recent data. Most reviews suggested a positive effect of MSCs on cartilage regeneration; however, considerable heterogeneity was observed regarding MSC source, preparation methods, and outcome measures. MSCs show promise in the treatment of knee cartilage defects. Nonetheless, due to methodological differences and limited high-quality evidence, no standardized clinical protocol can yet be recommended. Further research is needed to establish consensus and guide clinical applications.

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The complexes [Cr(CO)3L](I; L = C6HnMe6–n, n= 0–2) react with [NO][PF6] in methanol–toluene, nitromethane, or liquid sulphur dioxide to afford [Cr(CO)2(NO)L][PF6], (II). These cations react with nucleophiles such as H–, D–, or Me– to give neutral cyclohexadienyl complexes [Cr(CO)2(NO)L](III; L = C6Hn+ 1Me6 –n) by exo- attack at the co-ordinated arene.
Screening of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts from Sourdough as Starter Cultures for Reduced Allergenicity Wheat Products

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Previous researchers have shown the potential of sourdough or related lactic acid bacteria in reducing wheat allergens. However, there are no mixed or single cultures for producing reduced allergenicity wheat products. In this study, twelve strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeast isolated from sourdough were evaluated for their ability to hydrolyze proteins and ferment dough. Strain Pediococcus acidilacticiXZ31 showed higher proteolytic activity on both casein and wheat protein substrates, and had strong ability to reduce wheat protein allergenicity. The tested Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces showed limited proteolysis. Strains Torulaspora delbrueckii JM1 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae JM4 demonstrated a higher capacity to ferment dough compared to other yeasts. These strains may be applied as starters for the preparation of reduced allergenicity wheat products.
Synthesis and characterization of tactile sensor

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In the field of robotics, tactile sensors have been becoming increasingly more crucial as the need for interaction with varied objects and environments increases. This need exists both in industrial robotics and also social robotics. Tactile sensors help gauge the amount of force acting on an object which visual sensors alone are unable to measure. Three-dimensional graphene foam has been in the limelight in recent years for its potential as a tactile sensor. This is due to the material possessing excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, biological inertness and mechanical stability. Current studies, however, employ complex methods in attaining a setup which portray the material as a potential artificial skin. In this project, a stretchable tactile sensor setup is put together using graphene foam infused with poly(dimethylsiloxane). The graphene foam used in this project is fabricated using a chemical vapour deposition technique. The setup designed uses a simple circuit setup with an integrated chip, the LM3914, as a display driver for several LEDs. The LEDs display the corresponding degree of mechanical stimulation applied to the sensors. A sensor array is used to exhibit the ability of the setup to detect multiple mechanical stimulation points. The project hence demonstrates the potential of graphene foam being applied in a simple setup to serve as an artificial skin.

Market integration and price leadership in selected sugar markets. The case of Colombia, Brazil and the world

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In the present empirical study we used the Johansen Maximum Likelihood procedure to evaluate spatial market integration for raw sugar among Colombian, Brazilian and World markets. The Johansen (1988) cointegration approach allowed relating the three market sugar prices in a multivariate cointegrated vector error correction model. The law of one price and the general patters of influence were tested. To support the study monthly sugar price series for the three markets ranging from 1998 to 2007 were used. The overall empirical results revealed that the null hypothesis of perfect market integration cannot be rejected, which implies that raw sugar prices from the three markets move proportionally in the long-run following the law of one price. In addition, for the world sugar price the null hypothesis of weak exogeneity cannot be rejected, evidencing that the World sugar market has the price leadership, whereas the Brazilian and Colombian markets are price followers.
Exotic phases in frustrated quantum systems

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In this work, we study the extended Shastry-Sutherland model which is a Quantum spin system with geometrical frustration. It is originated from the compound SrCu2(BO3)2 which exhibits nontrivial magnetization plateaus in the external magnetic field. In the first part, we use a generalized spin wave theory (spin wave theory in plaquette representation) to investigate the intermediate phase (extremely frustrated range) of the Shastry-Sutherland model and the associated quasiparticle dispersions. We confirm the existence of this plaquette singlet state by explictly calculating its energy with quantum corrections from second order perturbation theory. We also propose a more general plaquette valence-bond-solid (PVBS) phase when the anisotropy is turned on. The quasi- particle dispersion changes qualitatively when it passes a critical line within the PVBS phase. The gap splits from k = (0,0) to four degenerate points which may imply a crossover to the resonanting valence bond state. In the second part, we study the magnetization plateaus and supersolid phases in the extended Shastry-Sutherland model which is expected to be the effective model of the rare earth tetraborides family. Analytical (spiral plaquette representation) and numerical (Stochastic Series Expansion QMC) methods are applied to the Ising and Ising-like XXZ models, respectively. Results from the two methods are qualitatively consistent. Expected plateaus 1/2 and 1/3 have been observed in the phase diagram and a few new plateaus including 5/9 and 2/9 have been observed in a narrow regime of the phase diagram. Besides, we also study the Spin-1 Heisenberg model on a bipartite lattice to test the consistency of the QMC and spin wave method. The excellent quantitative and qualitative agreement guarantees the efficiency of the lowest order spin wave theory.
[Drug targets discovery based on dynamic signal transduction networks].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Since last century, drug discovery efforts mostly focus on searching for chemicals which can inhibit some specific steps in a well-described disease pathway. However, this kind of highly specific inhibitors can not be effective for complex diseases, like cancer, diabetes, schizophrenia and mental illness. Therefore, we need to rethink the drug discovery and therapeutic strategies. In this review, the strategies of selection of cellular signal transduction networks and their dynamics as the targets for drug discovery and pharmacological treatments will be discussed. The properties and analytical methods of these signal transduction networks, internet sources and software tools for performing these strategies will be described. Strategies and procedures of using network-based drug discovery will be emphasized, including multi-targets drug design and network-based drug discovery.
Cloning and sequencing of the Escherichia coli panB gene, which encodes ketopantoate hydroxymethyltransferase, and overexpression of the enzyme

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The panB gene from Escherichia coli, encoding the first enzyme of the pantothenate biosynthesis pathway, ketopantoate hydroxymethyltransferase (KPHMT), has been isolated by functional complementation of a panB mutant strain with an E. coli genomic library. The gene is 792 bp long, encoding a protein of 264 amino acids with a predicted M(r) of 28,179. The identity of the gene product as ketopantoate hydroxymethyltransferase was confirmed by purification of the enzyme protein, which was overexpressed approximately 50-fold in the mutant harboring the gene on a high-copy-number plasmid. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified protein was found to be identical to that predicted from the gene sequence, as was its mass, determined by electrospray mass spectrometry. Upstream of the panB gene is an incomplete open reading frame encoding a protein of 220 amino acids, which shares sequence similarity to fimbrial precursor proteins from other bacteria. Northern (RNA) analysis showed that the panB gene is likely to be cotranscribed with at least one other gene but that this is not the putative fimbrial protein, since no transcripts for this gene could be detected.

10 MW FOWT Semi-Submersible Multi-Objective Optimization: A Comparative Study of PSO, SA, and ACO

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The present study aims to carry out a comparative Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) of a 10 MW FOWT semi-submersible using three different metaheuristic optimization techniques and a sophisticated approach for optimizing a floating platform. This novel framework enables highly efficient 3D plots, an optimization loop, and the automatic and comparative output of solutions. Python, the main interface, integrated PyMAPDL and Pymoo for intricate modeling and simulation tasks. For this case study, the ZJUS10 Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) platform, developed by the state key laboratory of mechatronics and fluid power at Zhejiang University, was employed as the basis. Key criteria such as platform stability, overall structural mass, and stress were pivotal in formulating the objective functions. Based on a preliminary study, the three metaheuristic optimization algorithms chosen for optimization were Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Simulated Annealing (SA), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Then, the solutions were evaluated based on Pareto dominance, leading to a Pareto front, a curve that represents the best possible trade-offs among the objectives. Each algorithm’s convergence was meticulously evaluated, leading to the selection of the optimal design solution. The results evaluated in simulations elucidate the strengths and limitations of each optimization method, providing valuable insights into their efficacy for complex engineering design challenges. In the post-processing phase, the performances of the optimized FOWT platforms were thoroughly compared both among themselves and with the original model, resulting in validation. Finally, the ACO algorithm delivered a highly effective solution within the framework, achieving reductions of 19.8% in weight, 40.1% in pitch, and 12.7% in stress relative to the original model.
Effect of different foliar zinc application at different growth stages on seed zinc concentration and its impact on seedling vigor in rice

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study evaluated how zinc (Zn) concentration of rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed may be increased and subsequent seedling growth improved by foliar Zn application. Eight foliar Zn treatments of 0.5% zinc sulfate (ZnSO4 · 7H2O) were applied to the rice plant at different growth stages. The resulting seeds were germinated to evaluate effects of seed Zn on seedling growth. Foliar Zn increased paddy Zn concentration only when applied after flowering, with larger increases when applications were repeated. The largest increases of up to ten-fold were in the husk, and smaller increases in brown rice Zn. In the first few days of germination, seedlings from seeds with 42 to 67 mg Zn kg−1 had longer roots and coleoptiles than those from seeds with 18 mg Zn kg−1, but this effect disappeared later. The benefit of high seed Zn in seedling growth is also indicated by a positive correlation between Zn concentration in germinating seeds and the combined roots and shoot dry weight (r = 0.55, p < 0.05). Zinc in rice grains can be effectively raised by foliar Zn application after flowering, with a potential benefit of this to rice eaters indicated by up to 55% increases of brown rice Zn, and agronomically in more rapid early growth and establishment.
Performance portfolio Neil Graham Yates

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The overarching theme of the portfolio is creative performance between established genres. I \npresent here projects examining the artistic potential of a highly detailed level of genre \nmixing. All explore the possibilities of amalgamating at least two disparate musical genres to \nproduce more than a mere juxtaposition. The aim is to originate a music that sounds complete \nin and of itself by detailed study and practice in both genres. I have attempted to explain my \nreasoning and methodology in this endeavour thoroughly. \nThe first example is the commercially available album, New Origins, exemplifying mixing of \njazz and traditional music from Ireland and Britain in a jazz octet setting, with the addition of \ntraditional instruments, bodhran and whistle. \nNext is the commercially available album, Five Countries, demonstrating the mixing of jazz \nand traditional music from Ireland and Britain, as well as some influences from a slightly \nbroader European palette, in a small folk trio style setting employing traditional and acoustic \ninstruments as the backdrop to intricate melodies and improvisations on trumpet and \nflugelhorn. \nThere is then video footage presented of the premiere performance of Five Countries at \nManchester Jazz Festival 2008, and further footage from performances at London Jazz \nFestival 2011 and Brecon Jazz Festival 2012. \nThe the last example is video footage of a live performance of music from the album \nCatching Sunlight at Kings Place in London. The suite mixes classical saxophone quartet with \na jazz trio and improvising solo trumpet and flugelhorn. \nOther evidence highlights how the main examples have generated reviews, articles, \nperformances at numerous festivals and venues, radio play, internet interest, and numerous \ncommissions and awards from funding bodies and major festivals. The new techniques \ndeveloped for trumpet are illustrated and some other similar musical endeavours are archived \nalongside a selected history of my professional career.

Periorbital Subcutaneous Emphysema

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Forty years old male was admitted with fever, cough and breathlessness since five days. Examination revealed signs of pleural effusion on left side of chest. Chest X-Ray showed left sided pleural effusion and left middle zone consolidation. Pleural fluid analysis suggested empyema. Patient was managed with intravenous antibiotics and left-sided inter-costal tube drainage. A day after thoracostomy patient developed swelling around eyes and thoracostomy site. Diffuse crepts were palpable around eyes, left side of chest and neck (Figure 1). CT confirmed the diagnosis of subcutaneous emphysema around eyes and chest wall. Swelling disappeared with conservative management within next three days (Figure 2).
Periorbital emphysema is mostly due to disruption in the integrity of orbital boundaries because of trauma and subsequent orbital and sinus fractures. Less frequently follows dental surgeries. As a result of continuity of facial planes it can rarely occur as a result of spread from neck and chest subcutaneous tissue.
