STRUCTURAL, VIBRATIONAL, OPTICAL, AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF 0-3 TYPE PARTICULATE PbTiO3-NiFe2O4 COMPOSITES by Chung Do Pham, Oanh Thi Mai Le, Minh Van Nguyen

“…The XRD result showed that the lattice parameter a of the PbTiO3 (PTO) phase decreased while lattice parameter c increased after compositing, leading to a decrease in the tetragonal ratio c/a. SEM images indicated that the NiFe2O4 (NFO) crystals that crystallized later are small and adhere to the surface of the large PTO particles. …”

High Content Analysis of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived Hepatocytes Reveals Drug Induced Steatosis and Phospholipidosis by Arvind Pradip, Daniella Steel, Susanna Jacobsson, Gustav Holmgren, Magnus Ingelman-Sundberg, Peter Sartipy, Petter Björquist, Inger Johansson, Josefina Edsbagge

“…The present study aimed to investigate the use of hiPSC derived hepatocytes for conducting mechanistic toxicity testing by image based high content analysis (HCA). The hiPSC derived hepatocytes were exposed to drugs known to cause hepatotoxicity through steatosis and phospholipidosis, measuring several endpoints representing different mechanisms involved in drug induced hepatotoxicity. …”

Micro/Nanostructures and Mechanical Properties of Trabecular Bone in Ovariectomized Rats by Shidi Hu, Jin Li, Lu Liu, Ruchun Dai, Zhifeng Sheng, Xianping Wu, Xiqiao Feng, Xuefeng Yao, Eryuan Liao, Evan Keller, Yebin Jiang

“…At 15 weeks after surgery, we found significantly less Tb bone mineral density (BMD) at organ (−27%) and at tissue level (−12%), Tb bone volume fraction (−29%), Tb thickness (−14%), and Tb number (−17%) in ovariectomy (OVX) rats than in sham operated (SHAM) rats, while the structure model index (+91%) and Tb separation (+19%) became significantly greater. AFM images showed lower roughness Tb surfaces with loosely packed large nodular structures and less compacted interfibrillar space in OVX than in SHAM. …”

Difficult Management of a Double-Lumen Endotracheal Tube and Difficult Ventilation during Robotic Thymectomy with Carbon Dioxide Insufflation by Yuki Sugiyama, Kunihiro Mitsuzawa, Yuki Yoshiyama, Fumiko Shimizu, Satoshi Fuseya, Takashi Ichino, Hiroyuki Agatsuma, Takayuki Shiina, Ken-ichi Ito, Mikito Kawamata

“…In both cases, once migration of the DLT during OLV occurred with CO2 insufflation, readjusting the DLT became very difficult because our manipulation of bronchofiberscopy was prevented by the robot arms located above the patient’s head and because deformation of the trachea/bronchus induced by CO2 insufflation caused a poor image of the bronchofiberscopic view. Thus, during robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with CO2 insufflation, since there is a potential risk of difficult ventilation with a DLT and since readjustment of the DLT is very difficult, discontinuing CO2 insufflation and switching to double-lung ventilation are needed in such a situation.…”
