We study simultaneous photonic and phononic crystal slabs created in Z-cut lithium niobate membranes. Bandgaps for guided waves are identified using the three-dimensional finite element method (FEM). Three lattices are considered: the square, the hexagonal, and the honeycomb lattices. We investigate the evolution of band gaps as a function of geometrical parameters such as hole radius and membrane thickness. We show the existence of dual photonic and phononic bandgaps in the triangular lattice

In this short paper, accelerated three-dimensional computer simulations of vascular trees development, preserving physiological and haemodynamic features, are reported. The new computation schemes deal: (i) with the geometrical optimization of each newly created bifurcation; and (ii) with the recalculation of blood pressures and radii of vessels in the whole tree. A significant decrease of the computation time is obtained by replacing the global optimization by the fast updating algorithm

The objective of this study is to show how computational modeling can be used to increase our understanding of liver enhancement in dynamic computer tomography. It relies on two models: (1) a vascular model, based on physiological rules, is used to generate the 3D hepatic vascular network; (2) the physical process of CT acquisition allows to synthesize timed-stamped series of images, aimed at tracking the propagation of a contrast material through the vessel network and the parenchyma.

Dietary cholesterol absorption contributes to a large part of the circulating cholesterol. However, the mechanism of sterol intestinal uptake is not clearly elucidated. Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), major component in the control of cholesterol homeostasis, is expressed in the intestine, but its role in this organ remains unclear. We have generated transgenic mice over-expressing SR-BI primarily in the intestine by using the mouse SR-BI gene under the control of intestinal specific

... "apolipoprotein (apo) C-III enhancer coupled with apo A-IV promoter". We found SR-BI overexpression with respect to the natural protein along the intestine and at the top of the villosities. After feeding a meal containing 14 C cholesterol and 3 H triolein, SR-BI transgenic mice presented a rise of intestinal absorption of both lipids that was not due to a defect in chylomicron clearance nor to a change in the bile flow or the bile acid content. Nevertheless, SR-BI transgenic mice showed a decrease of total cholesterol, but an increase of triglyceride content in plasma without any change in the HDL apo A-I level. Thus, we describe for the first time a functional role in vivo for SR-BI in cholesterol but also in triglyceride intestinal absorption.

Selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is an innovative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score was designed to better evaluate liver functions in HCC. Methods: We studied, retrospectively, data from patients treated with SIRT for HCC. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of radioembolization-induced liver disease (REILD). The secondary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Results: 222 patients were studied. The ALBI grade 1 patients had

... ly less REILD (3.4%) after the first SIRT than ALBI grade 2 or 3 patients (16.8%, p = 0.002). Of the 207 patients with data, 77 (37.2%) had a worsening of ALBI grade after one SIRT. The baseline ALBI grade was significantly associated with OS (p = 0.001), also in the multivariable analysis. The ALBI grade after the first SIRT was significantly associated with OS (p ≤ 0.001), with median OS of 26.4 months (CI 95% 18.2–34.7) for ALBI grade 1 patients (n = 48) versus 17.3 months (CI 95% 12.9–21.8) for ALBI grade 2 patients (n = 123) and 8.1 months (CI 95% 4.1–12.1) for ALBI grade 3 patients (n = 36). Conclusions: The baseline ALBI grade is a strong predictor of REILD. The baseline ALBI score and variations of ALBI are prognostic after SIRT.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) results in significant long-lasting cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, evaluating acute and long-term outcomes after therapeutic intervention is important for clinical translation. The aim of this study was to use minocycline, a known neuroprotectant agent, to evaluate the long-term benefits in terms of neurobehavior and neuropathology after experimental SAH in rats, and to determine which neurobehavioral test would be effective for long-term evaluation. SAH was

... ced by endovascular perforation in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 118). The animals were treated with intraperitoneal injection of minocycline (45 mg/kg or 135 mg/kg) or vehicle 1 h after SAH induction. In the short-term, animals were euthanized at 24 and 72 h for evaluation of neurobehavior, brain water content, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. In the longterm, neurobehavior was evaluated at days 21-28 post-SAH, and histopathological analysis was done at day 28. High-dose but not low-dose minocycline reduced brain water content at 24 h, and therefore only the high-dose regimen was used for further evaluation, which reduced MMP-9 activity at 24 h. Further, high-dose minocycline improved spatial memory and attenuated neuronal loss in the hippocampus and cortex. The rotarod, T-maze, and water maze tests, but not the inclined plane test, detected neurobehavioral deficits in SAH rats at days 21-28. This study demonstrates that minocycline attenuates long-term functional and morphological outcomes after endovascular perforation-induced SAH. Long-term neurobehavioral assessments using the rotarod, T-maze, and water maze tests could be useful to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic intervention after experimental SAH.

The extensive diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and its capacity to mutate and escape host immune responses are major challenges for AIDS vaccine development. Ancestral sequences, which minimize the genetic distance to circulating strains, provide an opportunity to design immunogens with the potential to elicit broad recognition of HIV epitopes. We developed a phylogenetics-informed algorithm to reconstruct ancestral HIV sequences, called Center of Tree (COT). COT

... s have potentially significant benefits over isolate-based strategies, as they minimize the evolutionary distances to circulating strains. COT sequences are designed to surmount the potential pitfalls stemming from sampling bias with the consensus method and outlier bias with the most-recent-common-ancestor approach. We computationally derived COT sequences from circulating HIV-1 subtype B sequences for the genes encoding the major viral structural protein (Gag) and two regulatory proteins, Tat and Nef. COT genes were synthesized de novo and expressed in mammalian cells, and the proteins were characterized. COT Gag was shown to generate virus-like particles, while COT Tat transactivated gene expression from the HIV-1 long terminal repeat and COT Nef mediated downregulation of cell surface major histocompatibility complex class I. Thus, retrodicted ancestral COT proteins can retain the biological functions of extant HIV-1 proteins. Additionally, COT proteins were immunogenic, as they elicited antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses in mice. These data support the utility of the COT approach to create novel and biologically active ancestral proteins as a starting point for studies of the structure, function, and biological fitness of highly variable genes, as well as for the rational design of globally relevant vaccine candidates.

Although bone marrow aspiration (BMA) is still considered a painful procedure, pain level remains poorly documented. We therefore conducted a prospective study intended to evaluate pain level in adult patients undergoing BMA at the sternal or iliac crest site to identify factors associated with pain. We enrolled a total of 448 patients who underwent 461 BMA and asked those patients to score their pain intensity after BMA using numerical pain rating scale (NPRS). The following factors: level of

... nxiety, quality of the information given to the patient, operator's experience, and bone texture were recorded using a standardized questionnaire. The median NPRS score was 3.5 (IQR [2.0; 5.0]) the sternal site (n = 405) was associated with an increased median NPRS score (3.5 [2.0; 5.0]) compared to the iliac crest (n = 56, 2.5 [1.0; 4.0]; p<0.0001). For those patients who underwent sternal BMA, the median NPRS score was significantly lower when using lidocaine infiltration (p = 0.0159) as compared with no anesthetic use. Additionally there was no significant effect of anesthetic cream found. After multivariate analysis, the model of NPRS score at the sternal site included patient anxiety (p<0.0001) and the use of lidocaine infiltration (0.0378). This study underlines the usefulness of a comprehensive management including pain relief and efforts to reduce anxiety including appropriate information given to the patient during BMA.

Radioembolization with 90 Y-loaded microspheres is increasingly used in the treatment of primary and secondary liver cancer. Technetium-99 m macroaggregated albumin (MAA) scintigraphy is used as a surrogate of microsphere distribution to assess lung or digestive shunting prior to therapy, based on tumoral targeting and dosimetry. To date, this has been the sole pre-therapeutic tool available for such evaluation. Several dosimetric approaches have been described using both glass and resin

... heres in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastasis. Given that each product offers different specific activities and numbers of spheres injected, their radiobiological properties are believed to lightly differ. This paper summarizes and discusses the available studies focused on MAA-based dosimetry, particularly concentrating on potential confounding factors like clinical context, tumor size, cirrhosis, previous or concomitant therapy, and product used. In terms of the impact of tumoral dose in HCC, the results were concordant and a response relationship and tumoral threshold dose was clearly identified, especially in studies using glass microspheres. Tumoral dose has also been found to influence survival. The concept of treatment intensification has recently been introduced, yet despite several studies publishing interesting findings on the tumor dosemetastasis relationship, no consensus has been reached, and further clarification is thus required. Nor has the maximal tolerated dose to the liver been well documented, requiring more accurate evaluation. Lung dose was well described, despite recently identified factors influencing its evaluation, requiring further assessment. Conclusion: MAA SPECT/CT dosimetry is accurate in HCC and can now be used in order to achieve a fully customized approach, including treatment intensification. Yet further studies are warranted for the metastasis setting and evaluating the maximal tolerated liver dose.
