Article Synopsis
  • Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a rare but serious condition that can occur after parathyroid surgery, leading to significant drops in calcium levels due to sudden changes in bone turnover.
  • A case report describes a 57-year-old woman with chronic joint pain and a diagnosed parathyroid adenoma who developed HBS three days after her surgery, requiring calcium supplementation.
  • The report emphasizes the importance of understanding HBS and outlines potential strategies for its prevention and management to improve patient outcomes post-surgery.

Background: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are an early sign of many neurological disorders and accompanied by local neuroinflammation and brain damage. As important regulators of immune response and neuroinflammation, the biological behavior and role of γδ T cells after CMBs remain largely unknown.

Methods: We made a spot injury of microvessel in the somatosensory cortex to mimic the model of CMBs by two-photon laser and tracked dynamical behaviors of γδ T cells induced by CMBs using transgenic mice.

Structured illumination digital holographic microscopy (SI-DHM) is a high-resolution, label-free technique enabling us to image unstained biological samples. SI-DHM has high requirements on the stability of the experimental setup and needs long exposure time. Furthermore, image synthesizing and phase correcting in the reconstruction process are both challenging tasks.

Continuous ceramic fiber comprising silicon carbide-zirconium carbide (SiC-ZrC) binary phases was obtained through melt spinning, electron-beam curing and pyrolysis of a pre-ceramic precursor of polyzirconocenecarbosilanes (PZCS). After pyrolysis and heat treatment, ZrC particles with mean diameters of 15-20 nm were formed and homogeneously dispersed in a matrix of fine crystalline β-SiC with an average grain size of 6-10 nm. Concentration of Zr in the fiber varies from 14.

Metallocene of zirconium were used as a catalyst for an insertion polymerization of 1-methylsilene directly into pre-ceramic precursor polyzirconocenecarbosilane (PZCS) during dechlorination of dichlorodimethylesilane by sodium, which exhibits high catalytic effectiveness with the maximum conversion ratio of polycarbosilane up to 91%. The average molecular weights of polymers synthesized are less than 1400, all with very narrow polymolecularities. The mechanism of catalytic polymerization was assumed to be similar to a coordination insertion polymerization of 1-olefins by metallocenes.

Focus on the phase reconstruction from three phase-shifting interferograms with unknown phase shifts, an advanced principal component analysis method is proposed. First, use a simple subtraction operation among interferograms, two intensity difference images are obtained easily. Second, set the center region of the data of intensity difference images to zero, and then construct a covariance matrix to obtain a transformation matrix.
