Purpose: To examine effects of local tissue cooling on contusion-induced microvascular hemodynamics and leukocytes behavior using real-time intravital microscopy.
Methods: Male Wistar rats (N = 21, 130-150 g) were randomly assigned to intensive cooling group (3 degrees C, N = 7), a moderate cooling group (27 degrees C, N = 7), or control group (37 degrees C, N = 7). Contusion was induced by dropping a plastic ball on exposed cremaster muscle. After 5 min, the cremaster muscle was superfused with a saline solution for 10 min at controlled temperature of either 3 degrees C (cooling), 27 degrees C (moderate cooling), or 37 degrees C (control). Microvascular hemodynamics (vessel internal diameter, blood flow rate and erythrocyte velocity) and leukocyte behavior (rolling and adhesion) were measured from recorded videotapes in the same venules before and after contusion, and after cooling.
Results: Cooling-induced vasoconstriction was marked at 3 degrees C and moderate at 27 degrees C compared with that at 37 degrees C. Blood flow rate and erythrocyte velocity were markedly lower at 3 degrees C compared to 37 degrees C. At 27 degrees C, erythrocyte velocity was higher than that at 37 degrees C, but blood flow rate was maintained at a level similar to that at 37 degrees C. The number of rolling and adhering leukocytes at 3 degrees C and 27 degrees C were significantly less than at 37 degrees C.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that local tissue cooling, similar to cryotherapy, improves edema and inflammatory reaction, and may be useful for reducing inflammatory response without inhibiting blood flow after contusion.

Genetic predisposition of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: a population-based genome-wide association study.
Hepatol Int
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background/purpose: Although metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has been proposed to replace the diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with new diagnostic criteria since 2023, the genetic predisposition of MASLD remains to be explored.
Methods: Participants with data of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the Taiwan Biobank database were collected. Patients with missing data, positive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, and alcohol drinking history were excluded.
Clarifying the Cardiovascular Morphology and Associated Abnormalities in Patients with Double Inlet Right Ventricle Using Multidetector CT Angiography.

Department of Cardiovascular Radiology & Endovascular Interventions, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, 110029, India.
We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

Department of Breast Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Fuzhou, 350001, Fujian , China.
Purpose: Age stratification influences the clinicopathological features and survival outcomes of breast cancer. We aimed to understand the effect of age on gene variants in young Chinese women with breast cancer compared with those from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
Methods: Enrolled patients ≤ 40 years old (N = 370) underwent germline or somatic genetic testing using a 32-gene hereditary cancer panel at Fujian Union Hospital.
Characterization of novel cold-active chitin deacetylase for green production of bioactive chitosan.

Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza, 12613, Egypt.
A Novel cold-active chitin deacetylase from Shewanella psychrophila WP2 (SpsCDA) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and employed for deacetylation of chitin to chitosan. The produced chitosan was characterized, and its antifungal activity was investigated against Fusarium oxysporum. The purified recombinant SpsCDA appeared as a single band on SDS-PAGE at approximately 60 kDa, and its specific activity was 92 U/mg.

Purpose: During endovascular revascularization interventions for peripheral arterial disease, the standard modality of X-ray fluoroscopy (XRF) used for image guidance is limited in visualizing distal segments of infrapopliteal vessels. To enhance visualization of arteries, an image registration technique was developed to align pre-acquired computed tomography (CT) angiography images and to create fusion images highlighting arteries of interest.
Methods: X-ray image metadata capturing the position of the X-ray gantry initializes a multiscale iterative optimization process, which uses a local-variance masked normalized cross-correlation loss to rigidly align a digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) of the CT dataset with the target X-ray, using the edges of the fibula and tibia as the basis for alignment.
