Pharmacological Therapy in the Heart as an Alternative to Cellular Therapy: A Place for the Brain Natriuretic Peptide? by Nathalie Rosenblatt-Velin, Suzanne Badoux, Lucas Liaudet

“…Indeed, differentiation and/or proliferation of cardiac precursor cells is controlled by various endogenous mediators, such as growth factors and cytokines, which could thus be used as pharmacological agents to promote regeneration. To illustrate such approach, we present recent results showing that the exogenous administration of the natriuretic peptide BNP triggers “endogenous” cardiac regeneration, following experimental myocardial infarction.…”

Manual Compression versus Suture-Mediated Closure Device Technique for VA-ECMO Decannulation by Clemens Scherer, Christopher Stremmel, Enzo Lüsebrink, Thomas J. Stocker, Konstantin Stark, Carmen Schönegger, Antonia Kellnar, Jan Kleeberger, Maja Hanuna, Tobias Petzold, Sven Peterss, Daniel Braun, Jörg Hausleiter, Christian Hagl, Steffen Massberg, Martin Orban

“…Vascular surgery was performed in 12% in the historical cohort and 2% in the current technique cohort, which indicated a clear trend, albeit it did not reach significance (p = 0.07). Conclusion. We illustrated that a suture-mediated closure device technique for VA-ECMO decannulation was feasible, safe, and may have reduced the need of surgical interventions compared to manual compression alone.…”

Optical memory and counter using a graphene based hybrid plasmonic temporal integrator by Faezeh Bahrami-Chenaghlou, Amir Habibzadeh-Sharif, Afshin Ahmadpour

“…Furthermore, the performance of these INTs has been evaluated in detail as a high-speed optical memory and counter. It has been illustrated that due to the greater quality factor of the GHP-PRR, this circuit has more accuracy for realizing the first-order integration, optical memory, and counter than the GHP-ADRR-based INT.…”

Interaction and Adsorption of Hydrophobically Modified Polyacrylamide on Silica and Asphaltene Surfaces by Wenjie Zou, Zichuan Fang, Zhijun Zhang, Zhenzhen Lu

“…Furthermore, continuous adsorption of HMPAM was detected and multiple layers formed on both silica and asphaltene surfaces, which can be attributed to the hydrophobic chains of HMPAM polymers. This work has illustrated the interaction mechanism of HMPAM polymer on hydrophilic silica and hydrophobic asphaltene surfaces, which provide insight into the industrial applications of hydrophobically modified polymer.…”
