Design of high-precision power supply digital control system

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

As one of the core equipment of ITER sensor steady-state test platform, high-precision power supply is a large capacity single-phase inverter. In order to realize the fast response of power supply and the high-precision of output current, a cascaded H-bridge inverter scheme is adopted and a carrier phase-shifted pulse width modulation (CPS-PWM) strategy is proposed for this topology. Based on the analysis of multi-level inverter topology and control strategy, a control system based on DSP-CPLD is designed in this paper. Simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
Chimeric antigen receptor T‐cells: Properties, production, and quality control

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T‐cell therapy is a novel adoptive T‐cell immunotherapy for haematological malignancies. First introduced into clinical practice in 2017, CAR T‐cell therapy is now finding its place in the management of lymphoid malignancies, primarily of B‐cell lineage, including lymphoblastic leukaemia, non‐Hodgkin lymphoma and plasma cell myeloma, with remarkable therapeutic outcomes. CAR T‐cells are a customised therapeutic product for each patient. Manufacture commences with collection of autologous T‐cells, which are then genetically engineered ex vivo to express transmembrane CARs. These chimeric proteins consist of an antibody‐like extracellular antigen‐binding domain, to recognise specific antigens on the surface of tumour cells (e.g. CD19), linked to the intracellular co‐stimulatory signalling domains of a T‐cell receptor (e.g. CD137). The latter is required for in vivo CAR T‐cell proliferation, survival, and durable efficacy. Following reinfusion, CAR T‐cells harness the cytotoxic capacity of a patient's immune system. They overcome major mechanisms of tumour immuno‐evasion and have potential to generate robust cytotoxic anti‐tumour responses. This review discusses the background to CAR T‐cell therapies, including their molecular design, mechanisms of action, methods of production, clinical applications and established and emerging technologies for CAR T‐cell evaluation. It highlights the need for standardisation, quality control and monitoring of CAR T‐cell therapies, to ensure their safety and efficacy in clinical management.
Effects of Heat Treatment and Viologen Incorporation on Electrochromic Properties of TiO2 Nanotubes

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

<p>We demonstrate the electrochromic properties of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes prepared by an anodization process and investigate the effects of heat treatment and viologen incorporation on them. The morphology and crystal structure of anodized TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes are investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. As-formed TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes have straight tubular layers with an amorphous structure. As the annealing temperature increases, the anodized TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes are converted to the anatase and rutile phases with some cracks on the tube surface and irregular morphology. Electrochemical results reveal that amorphous TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes annealed at 150°C have the largest oxidation/ reduction current, which leads to the best electrochromic performance during the coloring/bleaching process. Viologenanchored TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes show superior electrochromic properties compared to pristine TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes, which indicates that the incorporation of a viologen can be an effective way to enhance the electrochromic properties of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes.</p>
Cytodiagnosis of Gastric Cancer by Brushing: 1978–1983

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A total of 1652 endoscopic cytologic brushings from 1181 patients, 823 males aged 15 to 87 years and 358 females aged 21 to 88 years, were examined. From these we diagnosed 96 carcinomas, 69 in males and 27 in females. In 1621 samplings from 1151 patients it was possible to compare the cytologic and histologic diagnoses. To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of both methods, brushing and biopsy, used separately or in association, we analyzed 81 cases where gastric cancer was confirmed by histologic examination of the removed stomach. The sensitivity rate of the cytodiagnosis was 88.3 % and that of histology was 93.4 %. Combining the two methods gave a sensitivity yield of 96.2 %. These values are among the highest reported in the literature and confirm the utility of combining both methods for diagnosing gastric carcinoma.
Staining Doppler Audio

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Carotid stenoses are responsible for many of the strokes occurring each year. We have developed a low-cost-of-use instrument for use in primary-care physicians' offices that can detect these stenoses before they produce a stroke. Non- specialists are to use the instrument with only limited training, so it is desirable to make the Doppler audio it produces as easy to interpret as possible. We present two techniques for doing so by processing or staining the original audio signal to make it easier for neophyte operators to recognize the information present in the signal. In a small user study, a technique based on adaptive filtering did not result in an improvement, but another technique based on adding a sine tone of varying frequency to the signal produced a significant improvement in accuracy over the unstained Doppler audio. The study also showed that untrained subjects were capable of performing quite well even on unstained audio.

Sucrose and Glycerol Additives: A Way to Tune the Biological and Physicochemical Properties of Agarose Hydrogels?

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Sucrose and glycerol have gained attention as additives for hydrogels, owing to their capacity to exert considerable influence over the physicochemical, mechanical, and biological characteristics of these materials. Herein, these effects on agarose hydrogels (AHs) are explored. A series of AHs are synthesized using sucrose (30% and 300% w/v) and glycerol as additives. The storage modulus (10.0–13.7 kPa) and hydrophilicity of the hydrogels (contact angle < 50°) do not vary significantly with sucrose or glycerol addition. However, sucrose enhances the hydration capacity of the hydrogels by up to 170%, whereas glycerol reduces it. Interestingly, sucrose and glycerol individually do not have bacteriostatic effects against Staphylococcus epidermidis , but their combination significantly ( p ≤ 0.001) inhibits the growth of both S. epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by 63% and 29%, respectively, in comparison to native agarose. Cytotoxicity testing on NIH/3T3 murine fibroblasts reveals that sucrose increases cell viability up to 98%, while glycerol reduces it below 60%. Overall, these hydrogels hold promise for antibacterial biomedical applications as wound dressing materials and surface coatings for medical devices and can also be used to formulate bioinks for 3D bioprinting.
Impact of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields on Cardiac Activity at Rest: A Systematic Review of Healthy Human Studies

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF‐EMF) exposure is increasingly prevalent, raising concerns about potential non‐thermal health effects. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence regarding RF exposure effects on cardiac activity, focusing on heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV). Studies on healthy individuals were selected based on strict methodological criteria, including experimental design, control for confounding variables, and sufficient details on exposure parameters. Articles were included if they compared healthy subjects with and without exposure and provided cardiac measurements, specific absorption rate, or exposure measurement. A total of 28 articles were analyzed. This review included studies with RF exposure ranging from 100 to 110,000 MHz and exposure durations varying from short periods to 7 nights, with most studies lasting between 5 and 50 min. Most studies demonstrated no significant effects of RF exposure on HR, regardless of the exposure system, frequency, duration, age, sex, distance, or subject position. Findings for HRV were more nuanced, with most studies indicating no significant impact on key HRV parameters. However, some position‐dependent variations emerged, particularly in antenna‐based studies. Additionally, our analysis suggests that RF exposure may particularly interfere with cardiac regulatory mechanisms when the cardiovascular system is challenged and required to adapt, such as during postural changes or physiological maneuvers, although there are insufficient comparable studies to validate this hypothesis. Importantly, all included studies were conducted under resting or non‐stressful conditions and involved only healthy participants. Therefore, our conclusions cannot be generalized to stressed states or clinical populations. Moreover, methodological harmonization is needed to improve comparability across future studies. The main limitation of the current evidence being the heterogeneity of experimental protocols, highlighting the need for methodological standardization in future studies. To address current heterogeneity, we propose specific methodological recommendations, including systematic blinding, accurate exposure measurement and detailed exposure, to improve comparability and reproducibility in future studies.

Xanthan gum protects temporomandibular chondrocytes from IL‑1β through Pin1/NF‑κB signaling pathway

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a complicated and multi‑factorial disease related to inflammation and cartilage destruction. Intra‑articular injection of xanthan gum (XG) has been demonstrated to protect the joint cartilage and reduce osteoarthritis progression. However, the role and mechanism of XG in TMD is still unclear. In the present study, chondrocytes were isolated from rats and identified by immunofluorescence. Cells were stimulated by XG or interleukin (IL)‑1β. Cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF‑α) and IL‑6 levels were determined by ELISA. The expression of monocyte chemoattractive protein‑1 (MCP‑1), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), collagens, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), peptidyl‑prolyl isomerase 1 (Pin1) and phosphorylated nuclear factor κB (NF‑κB) p65 (p‑p65) was analyzed by quantitative PCR or western blotting. MMP activity was assessed by gelatin zymography. Compared with the control, XG treatment partially reversed the IL‑1β‑reduced cell viability. In addition, IL‑1β stimulation increased inflammatory cytokine expression, including TNF‑α, IL‑6 secretion, MCP‑1 and iNOS expression, whereas XG treatment reduced the expression of these inflammatory cytokines compared with that of the IL‑1β‑stimulated cells. Additionally, XG increased the expression of collagen, but reduced MMP expression and activity as compared with that in the IL‑1β group. In addition, XG treatment prevented the IL‑1β‑increased Pin1 and p‑p65 expression. These data suggested that XG reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines and may maintain the balance between collagens and MMPs partially through the Pin1/NF‑κB signaling pathway in IL‑1β‑stimulated temporomandibular chondrocytes. Therefore, XG may be useful in the treatment of TMD.
Measuring Inherent Product Values

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Values have become a subject of growing interest, and are now generally accepted as an important factor in marketing research. However, value research that relies solely on a simple first‐order value paradigm, faces certain conceptual difficulties. By using a radically different formal value theory in a new approach to values, a method for measuring inherent product values directly as perceived by buyer groups is developed. The discriminatory power of this method has been tested on seven small samples of two product classes and two different models of the same brands. Clear discriminatory results were generated between product classes and brands but slight differences only were found between models of the same brand.

Coronary revascularization in a patient with cirrhosis and renal failure. Coronary artery bypass grafting in a patient with hepatic cirrhosis and end stage renal disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Surgery in a patient with hepatic cirrhosis entails risk of complications and of death. Association of end stage renal disease (ESRD) along with cirrhosis further increases perioperative risk of morbidity and mortality. There are no reports in the literature of patients with liver cirrhosis and ESRD having undergone cardiac surgery. We present a report of a successfully operated case of ESRD with compensated hepatic cirrhosis posted for coronary artery bypass grafting.
TU-D-BRB-07: Using MRI-Based Deformable Image Registration to Accumulate 3D Total Dose Distribution from Intracavitary Brachytherapy Fractions of Cervical Cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: Estimating the total dose delivered to organs-at-risk (OAR) for a whole course of intracavitary-brachytherapy (ICBT) is typically done by summing doses at reference points and/or doses to 2cc of OAR derived from DVH. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a procedure using deformable image registration to calculate the final 3D dose distribution and use the information to accurately determine the dose to the entire OAR. Methods and Materials: One patient who received six fractions of HDR-ICBT for cervical cancer was selected in retrospective analysis. T2-weighted MRI images were acquired and used to plan each treatment. ICRU bladder and rectum points along with Point A (L+R) were determined using the images and doses at the points for each fraction. Axial images with their corresponding contours and 3D dose were exported and transferred into our in-house deformable registration software. We used the first fraction as the reference and deformed all subsequent images to it. Using the deformation field, doses from each fraction were summed to obtain the total ICBT course dose. Results: Visual inspection of the deformed images showed very good matching in the regions of interest for ICBT (superior of bladder toward the inferior of rectum) when compared to the reference image. Using ICRU points and summing the dose from each fraction, Point A left, Point A right, bladder, and rectum doses were 39.7, 41.0, 47.7, and 34.6Gy, respectively. After the doses are deformed and summed, the doses were 41.1, 43.5, 38.7, and 40.38Gy, respectively. The DVH of the summed dose showed that the D2cc (hot spot) bladder and rectum were 38.3 and 47.9Gy, respectively. Conclusion: We demonstrated the feasibility to use a deformable image registration method to accumulate delivered doses from each brachytherapy treatment fraction by using the treatment planning MRI images acquired prior to each treatment.

Maraschino Production in Zadar in Interwar Period

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

U radu se razmatra proizvodnja maraskina u razdoblju nakon Prvoga svjetskog rata do fizickog unistenja tvornica krajem 1943. u Drugome svjetskom ratu. Nakon Prvoga svjetskog rata zadarski proizvođaci maraskina nasli su se pred velikim kusnjama: gubitak velikog tržista nekadasnje Austro-Ugarske, stvaranje novih nacionalnih država, izdvajanje Zadra od hrvatskog zaleđa, velika svjetska gospodarska kriza (1929.-1933.) i Drugi svjetski rat. Poteskoce su se ocitovale u velikom padu proizvodnje. U obrađenom razdoblju doslo je do okrupnjivanja proizvodnje maraskina te su uoci Drugoga svjetskog rata u Zadru opstala tri velika (Drioli, Luxardo i Vlahov) i jedan mali proizvođac maraskina (Pivac). Ipak, unatoc navedenim problemima, snaga imena maraskina pomogla je u prevladavanju nastalih poteskoca.
Comparison of genetic diversity between Yunnan local wheat variety and Triticum aestivum ssp. yunnanense King.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In order to develop more wheat cultivars and conserve rare species,the genetic diversity of 37 Triticum aestivum ssp.yunnanense King and 35 Yunnan local wheat varieties was evaluated by using 20 SSR markers.A total of 54 alleles were detected on 20 SSR loci.On each SSR locus,1 to 5 alleles were detected,with the mean of 2.70 alleles.The genetic diversity of Yunnan wheat genotypes was analyzed by the Nei's gene diversity indexes and the Shannon's diversity indexes(I).The lower genetic diversity was observed on T.aestivum ssp.yunnanense King.The genetic distance(GD) among Yunnan wheat genotypes were calculated based on the SSR data.The results indicated that the highest genetic diversity was observed on the Yunnan local wheat varieties.The UPGMA analysis classified the 72 wheat cultivars into 3 clusters,which could demonstrate that the local varieties or Yunnan hulled wheat originating from similar region were not grouped together.
Wheat protein recognition pattern in tolerant and allergic children

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Wheat is one of the most common food allergens in early childhood. In contrast to other food allergies, wheat‐specific IgE correlates badly with clinical symptoms and relevant components have been identified mostly for wheat‐depended exercise‐induced anaphylaxis. Moreover, a high percentage of patients present with immediate type symptoms but wheat‐specific IgE cannot be detected with commercial available systems. Objective We addressed the question whether the IgE recognition pattern between wheat allergic ( WA ) and clinically tolerant ( WT ) children differs in order to identify individual proteins useful for component‐resolved diagnostics. Methods Sera of 106 children with suspected wheat allergy, of whom 44 children had clinical relevant wheat allergy and 62 were tolerant upon oral food challenge, were analyzed for wheat‐specific IgE using the ImmunoCap system as well as immunoblots against water and salt soluble, and water‐insoluble protein fractions. 40 randomly selected sera were analyzed for specific IgE to ω5‐gliadin. Results Sixty‐three percent of the WT and 86% of the WA children were sensitized to wheat with >0.35 kU A /l in Immuno CAP analysis. We could confirm the role of α‐, ß‐, γ‐, and ω‐gliadins, and LMW glutenin subunits as major allergens and found also IgE binding to a broad spectrum of water‐ and salt‐soluble protein bands. It is of great importance that wheat allergic and tolerant patients showed IgE binding to the same protein bands. WT and WA did not significantly differ in levels of ω5‐gliadin‐specific IgE. Conclusions & Clinical Relevance Children with challenge proven clinical relevant food allergy and tolerant ones had a similar spectrum of IgE binding to the same protein bands. These findings imply that component‐resolved diagnostics might not be helpful in the diagnostic work‐up of wheat allergy.
