Comparative assessment of posthumous and intravital methods of morphometric study of the pelvis in adult persons was performed in 110 embalmed anatomical specimens and in 81 patient. It was proved statistically, that magnetic resonance tomography and spiral computer tomography (SCT), performed following definite algorithm, appear to be highly informative methods for the evaluation of pelvimetric parameters. They permit to define various osseous landmarks with high precision and to perform the measurements of linear metric pelvic parameters. On the basis of the data obtained, various pelvimetric indices that characterize bony pelvis shape, could be reliably calculated. Moreover, SCT together with shade surface reconstruction in different projections permits to demonstrate visually the 3D shape of the pelvis or its separate fragments and to evaluate the symmetry, presence or absence of bone structural deformations.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipids and leukocytes within the arterial wall. By studying the aortic transcriptome of atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mice, we aimed to identify novel players in the progression of atherosclerosis.

Methods: RNA-Seq analysis was performed on aortas from ApoE and wild-type mice.

Collective migration of cancer cells is often interpreted using concepts derived from the physics of active matter, but the experimental evidence is mostly restricted to observations made in vitro. Here, we study collective invasion of metastatic cancer cells injected into the mouse deep dermis using intravital multiphoton microscopy combined with a skin window technique and three-dimensional quantitative image analysis. We observe a multicellular but low-cohesive migration mode characterized by rotational patterns which self-organize into antiparallel persistent tracks with orientational nematic order.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a metabolic disorder related to obesity and insulin resistance and is the primary determinant of the development of low-intensity chronic inflammation. This continuous inflammatory response culminates in neuroimmune-endocrine dysregulation responsible for the metabolic abnormalities and morbidities observed in individuals with MetS. Events such as the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue, increased plasma concentrations of free fatty acids, tissue hypoxia, and sympathetic hyperactivity in individuals with MetS may contribute to the activation of the innate immune response, which compromises cerebral microcirculation and the neurovascular unit, leading to the onset or progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Interventional embolization has been widely used as a clinical cancer therapy, which deactivates the tumors by occluding their blood supply vessels. However, conventional methods lack active control over the embolic particles, thus having a limited selectivity of millimeter-scale vessels and the issue of missing embolization. Here, we propose an ultrasound-based method for embolic particle control in submillimeter vessels.

It remains unclear why unilateral proximal carotid artery occlusion (UCAO) causes benign oligemia in mice, yet leads to various outcomes (asymptomatic-to-death) in humans. We hypothesized that inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) both transforms UCAO-mediated oligemia into full infarction and expands pre-existing infarction. Using 900 mice, we i) investigated stroke-related effects of UCAO with/without intraperitoneal administration of the NOS inhibitor (NOSi) N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 400 mg/kg); ii) examined the rescue effect of the NO-donor, molsidomine (200 mg/kg at 30 minutes); and iii) tested the impact of antiplatelet medications.
