Establishment and characterization of ovarian clear cell carcinoma patient-derived xenografts by Joseph J. Caumanns, Shang Li, Gert J. Meersma, Evelien W. Duiker, Ate G. J. van der Zee, G. Bea A. Wisman, Steven de Jong

“…SNP array and Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip array data analysis demonstrated the copy number alterations and DNA methylation signatures of genome-wide and tumor-driver genes in PDXs generally resembled their patients’ tumors. Promoter CpG islands of a small number of genes, enriched in PRC2/histone methylation related gene-sets, gained methylation (△β-value > 0.4) in PDXs vs patient tumors. …”

First fluctuation measurements using an Imaging Neutral Particle Analyzer on DIII-D by K.R. Gage, X.D. Du, W.W. Heidbrink, J. Gonzalez-Martin, D. Liu, A.C. Brown

“…Simulated measurements in the range of pitches that the diagnostic is sensitive to ( $0.5\unicode{x2A7D} \left| \frac{v_{\parallel}}{v} \right| \unicode{x2A7D} 0.75$ ) show the signal is dominated by trapped orbits that pass through magnetic islands near the edge of the plasma. Calculations of expected fluctuation levels show that only direct interaction with the NTM can provide the strong relative fluctuation levels seen experimentally. …”

Les lacs d’Hanoï, quelle place pour une pièce urbaine endémique ? by Martin Jaillais Neliaz

“…As ecological corridors for the city and local public spaces within a dense residential area they are essential in sustaining the infiltration of nature within the city and the conservation of uninterrupted green spaces, making it possible to fight more sustainably against the effects of urban micro-climates and heat islands. There is a need to take them into account and better integrate them within local and city-wide urban planning and development projects.…”

Physician Kitasato Shibasaburō: Achievements and posthumous veneration in Shintō by V. A. Gorshkov-Cantacuzene

“…The outstanding physician isolated a pure culture of Clostridium tetani, was the first in the world to propose serum therapy, isolated Yersinia pestis, educated a galaxy of outstanding physicians and was one of the founders of modern Japanese public health (state sanitary and epidemiological supervision), preventing the establishment of plague in the Japanese islands. His services to Japanese and world medicine are truly immense. …”

Multi-authority attribute hidden for electronic medical record sharing scheme based on blockchain by Lin JIN, Youliang TIAN

“…Currently, there is no data exchanging and sharing between different hospitals, and it is easy to form data islands.At the same time, regional medical data contains a large amount of sensitive information of patients.The public acquisition, sharing and circulation of these data will lead to malicious tampering, theft, abuse and loss of ownership, thereby revealing patient privacy.In addition, the size of medical data is enormous and the data is unstructured, then it is more difficult to prevent and hold accountable some highly targeted malicious attacks, such as malicious attacks on medical data theft, tampering, and extortion.In view of the above problems, a blockchain-based on multi-authority attribute hidden electronic medical record sharing scheme was proposed to achieve fine-grained access to shared electronic medical records while ensuring patient privacy.The Multi-Authorization Attribute Encryption (MA-ABE) algorithm was introduced, which used multi-authority organizations to manage decentralized attributes.It also used hash functions to identify different users, in order to effectively resist collusion attacks between users with different authorizations.Besides, the linear secrets sharing scheme (LSSS) was used to realize partial hiding of attributes, and the attributes were divided into two parts:attribute name and attribute value.In addition, combined with the characteristics of blockchain openness, transparency and tamper-proof, the design of access policy can update the algorithm.Based on the access policy update algorithm, the policy block was added.The new access policy was uploaded to the blockchain to form a policy update traceability chain, which can realize distributed and reliable access control management under the condition of hidden policy.It can also support data privacy protection at the same time, and traceability of user behavior.The theoretical proof and experimental analysis have proved that this scheme protect attribute privacy effectively, while reduces computational overhead.…”
