Centrifuge Experiment on Capture Performance of Open-Type Sabo Dam with Its Numerical Analysis by Gaoyuan Lyu, Akihiko Hirooka, Hajime Kiyokuni

“…Open-type Sabo dam captures the advantage of solids mitigating the potential energy of fluids, but the disadvantage is that a small amount of debris flow passes through the dam, the reason for this comes from the grid size of the dam, the inclination angle of the dam, the stone size among the debris flow, etc. …”

Extracellular HMGB1 blockade inhibits tumor growth through profoundly remodeling immune microenvironment and enhances checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapy by Coraline Radermecker, Pascale Hubert, Patrick Roncarati, Stephanie Demoulin, Charlotte Pilard, Marie Ancion, Celia Reynders, Thomas Lerho, Diane Bruyere, Alizee Lebeau, Margot Meunier, Marie-Julie Nokin, Elodie Hendrick, Olivier Peulen, Philippe Delvenne, Michael Herfs

“…Finally, the redox state of HMGB1 in tumor-extruded fluids and the influence of different forms (oxidized, reduced or disulfide) on both dendritic cell (DC) and plasmacytoid DC (pDC) activation were determined.Results Associated with an unfavorable prognosis in human patients, we clearly demonstrated that targeting extracellular HMGB1 elicits a profound remodeling of tumor immune microenvironment for efficient cancer therapy. …”
