Differences in the intrahepatic expression of immune checkpoint molecules on T cells and natural killer cells in chronic HBV patients by Lucile Dumolard, Marie-Noelle Hilleret, Marie-Noelle Hilleret, Charlotte Costentin, Charlotte Costentin, Marion Mercey-Ressejac, Marion Mercey-Ressejac, Nathalie Sturm, Nathalie Sturm, Theophile Gerster, Thomas Decaens, Thomas Decaens, Evelyne Jouvin-Marche, Patrice N. Marche, Zuzana Macek Jilkova, Zuzana Macek Jilkova

“…Immune checkpoint molecules (ICMs) control the amplitude of the activation and function of immune cells, which makes them the key regulators of immune response.MethodsWe performed a multiparametric flow cytometry analysis of ICMs and determined their expression on intrahepatic lymphocyte subsets in untreated and treated patients with HBV in comparison with non-pathological liver tissue.ResultsThe liver of untreated HBV patients exhibited a high accumulation of PD-1+CD8+ T cells, while the frequencies of 4-1BB+ T cells, 4-1BB+ natural killer (NK) cells, and TIM-3+CD8+ T cells were the highest in the chronic hepatitis phase. …”

The effect of rotating magnetic turbulators on the convective heat transfer and pressure drop through a circular tube: Experimental investigation by Seyyed Morteza Mansouri, Mohamad Ali Bijarchi, L Siamak K Kazemzadeh Hannani

“…The rotation of the magnetic spheres on the inner surface of the tube and simultaneously around themselves disrupts the hydraulic and thermal boundary layers. Hence, the flow regime shifts from laminar to turbulent, leading to an increase in both convective heat transfer and pressure drop inside the tube, which are respectively, favorable and undesirable impacts. …”
