Scientists at the University of Minnesota have 3D printed a beating heart muscle ‘pump’ consisting of pluripotent stem cells and an extracellular matrix. The researchers grow the stem cells within the structure until they reach an appropriate cell density, and then differentiate them into cardiomyocytes. The 1.5 cm sized structure can pump fluids, and could serve as a heart muscle model to study diseases and test new therapies. Previous attempts at printing cardiomyocytes within an...

Abstract Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the skeletal, dental, and soft tissue effects of the alternating rapid maxillary expansions and constrictions (Alt-RAMEC) protocol combined with a facemask in prepubertal patients. Methods The study group (mean age 9.74 ± 1.46 years) consisted of 20 patients with class III malocclusion...

Objectives: Recent studies in animals indicate that even moderate levels of exposure to noise can damage synaptic ribbons between the inner hair cells and auditory nerve fibers without affecting audiometric thresholds, giving rise to the use of the term “hidden hearing loss” (HHL). Despite evidence across several animal species, there is little consistent evidence for HHL in humans. The aim of the study is to evaluate potential electrophysiological changes specific to individuals at risk for...

Abstract Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) controls WNT signaling and is thought to play a role for tumor aggressiveness. Here, we analyzed a tissue microarray containing 11,152 prostate cancers with pathological, clinical and molecular data by immunohistochemistry. SFRP4 expression was higher in cancer than in non-neoplastic acinar cells. SFRP4 staining was seen in 64.9% of tumors and classified as weak in 33.2%, moderate in 23.9% and strong in 7.8% of cancers. SFRP4...

Abstract Both labeled and unlabeled data have been widely used in electroencephalographic (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI). However, labeled EEG samples are generally scarce and expensive to collect, while unlabeled samples are considered to be abundant in real applications. Although the semi-supervised learning (SSL) allows us to utilize both labeled and unlabeled data to improve the classification performance as against supervised algorithms, it has been reported that...

Synovial sarcoma most commonly occurs in the extremities but has rarely been described in the female genital tract. In this series, we describe the clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of 7 cases of vulvovaginal synovial sarcoma (vulva, n=6; vagina, n=1). We emphasize their wide morphologic spectrum, which can overlap significantly with other more common tumors at these sites, as highlighted by 2 cases initially diagnosed as other entities (endometrioid carcinoma and...

ESR1 and GREB1 fusions have recently been described in uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT). Thus far, recurrences have been documented in a subset of those harboring GREB1 fusions, but not in those with ESR1 rearrangements. Here we describe the clinicopathologic features of 3 recurrent UTROSCTs with striking rhabdoid morphology (an unusual feature of these tumors overall) and ESR1-NCOA2 fusions. The patients were 32, 37, and 54 years at initial diagnosis and first recurrence...

Background: Secretory carcinoma (SC), originally described as mammary analogue SC, is a predominantly low-grade salivary gland neoplasm characterized by a recurrent t(12;15)(p13;q25) translocation, resulting in ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion. Recently, alternative ETV6-RET, ETV6-MAML3, and ETV6-MET fusions have been found in a subset of SCs lacking the classic ETV6-NTRK3 fusion transcript, but still harboring ETV6 gene rearrangements. Design: Forty-nine cases of SC revealing typical histomorphology...

Changing population demography and rising rates of obesity do not sufficiently explain the significant growth in the utilization of total knee replacement surgery observed in Australia. Other factors potentially contributing to the growth in surgical volume warrant exploration, and may include an examination of current indications for surgery, patient expectations and demand, and the policy environment relating to the funding and provision of surgery. Abstract Background The utilization...

Abstract Sleep is known to occur in most, if not all, animals studied thus far. Recent studies demonstrate the presence of sleep in flatworms and jellyfish, suggesting that this behaviour evolved early in the evolution of animals. Sharks are the earliest known extant, jawed vertebrates and may play an important role in understanding the evolutionary history of sleep in vertebrates, and yet, it is unknown whether they sleep. The Port Jackson (Heterodontus portusjacksoni ) and draughtsboard (Cephaloscyllium...

Metagenome studies have provided us with insights into the complex interactions of microorganisms with their environments and hosts. Few studies have focused on microalgae-associated metagenomes, and no study has addressed aquatic microalgae and their bacterial communities in open pond raceways (OPRs). This study explored the possibility of using microalgal biomasses from OPRs for biodiesel and biofertilizer production. The fatty acid profiles of the biomasses and the physical and chemical properties...

The antioxidant system (AOS) maintains the optimal concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a cell and protects it against oxidative stress. In plants, the AOS consists of seven main classes of antioxidant enzymes, low-molecular antioxidants (e.g., ascorbate, glutathione, and their oxidized forms) and thioredoxin/glutaredoxin systems which can serve as reducing agents for antioxidant enzymes. The number of genes encoding AOS enzymes varies between classes, and same class enzymes encoded...

No effective method has yet been developed to prevent the threat posed by the emerging disease—cercarial dermatitis (swimmer’s itch), caused by infective cercariae of bird schistosomes (Digenea: Schistosomatidae). In our previous studies, the New Zealand mud snail—Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray, 1853; Gastropoda, Tateidae)—was used as a barrier between the miracidia of Trichobilharzia regenti and the target snails Radix balthica. Since the presence of non-indigenous snails reduced the parasite prevalence...

Based on morphological comparisons and molecular analysis, some specimens collected from the coasts of Shandong province and Guangxi province were confirmed as two new Loimia species respectively (Loimia borealis sp. n. and Loimia macrobranchia sp. n.). Morphologically, L. borealis sp. n....

Differences in courtship signals and perception are well-known among Drosophila species. One such described difference is the dependency on light, and thus presumably vision, for copulation success. Many studies have described a difference in light-dependent copulation success between D. melanogaster and D. simulans, identifying D. simulans as a light-dependent species, and D. melanogaster as a light-independent one. However, many of these studies use assays of varying design and few strains to represent...

Construction of hydropower stations has been an important approach to meet China’s increasing power demand, but the impact of construction of hydropower stations on river microbiota is not fully understood. To evaluate this, the microbial composition from 18 sampling sites in the downstream of Jinsha River of China, upstream and downstream of two completed and two under-construction hydropower stations, were analyzed using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Three independent samples from each...

Within an environmentally explicit context, we examined the geographic distribution of the genetic diversity and demographic history of the species based on sequences of the mitochondrial Cytochrome-b gene of 50 individuals from 13 localities and a large panel...

However, the clinical significance of SPC25 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been investigated. This study aimed to explore the expression patterns of SPC25 in HCC and non-neoplastic tissues and to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic values of SPC25. Method The expression of SPC25 was...

Background Burkholderia sp. SSG is a bacterial endophyte isolated from boxwood leaves showing a resistant response to infection by the boxwood blight pathogen Calonectria pseudonaviculata. SSG acted as a protective and curative biocontrol agent for boxwood blight and as a bio-sanitizer of disease inoculum in the field. Many gene clusters involved in antibiotic production and plant growth promotion (PGP) were found in the genome, giving this endophyte great application potential as...
