Archaea colonising defined compartments of Scots pine Suillus bovinus or Paxillus involutus mycorrhizospheres developed in forest humus-containing microcosms were investigated by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloning, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing. Archaea representing six RFLP groups were detected in the system. Sequence analysis of clones representing the different RFLP types confirmed the presence of novel Finnish forest soil Crenarchaeota. Archaeal sequences were identified from mycorrhizas of both P. involutus and S. bovinus, at the margins of the external mycelium and in uncolonised humus but not from non-mycorrhizal short roots. Fungal and compartment-specific crenarchaeal occupation of mycorrhizospheres is discussed in relation to bacterial community distribution in similar systems.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from brain-seeking breast cancer cells (Br-EVs) breach the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via transcytosis and promote brain metastasis. Here, we defined the mechanisms by which Br-EVs modulate brain endothelial cell (BEC) dynamics to facilitate their BBB transcytosis. BEC treated with Br-EVs show significant downregulation of Rab11fip2, known to promote vesicle recycling to the plasma membrane and significant upregulation of Rab11fip3 and Rab11fip5, which support structural stability of the endosomal compartment and facilitate vesicle recycling and transcytosis, respectively.

: Despite its advantages, lateral close-wedge high tibial osteotomy (LCWHTO) requires proximal tibiofibular joint detachment (PTFJD) or fibular shaft osteotomy for gap closing. These fibula untethering procedures are technically demanding and not free from the risk of neurovascular injuries. Our novel fibula untethering technique, tibial-sided osteotomy (TSO) near the proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ), aims to reduce technical demands and the risk of injury to the peroneal nerve and popliteal neurovascular structures.

There is increasing evidence to indicate that histotripsy treatment can enhance the host anti-tumor immune responses both locally at the targeting tumor site as well as systemically from abscopal effects. Histotripsy is a non-invasive ultrasound ablation technology that mechanically disrupts target tissue via cavitation. A key factor contributing to histotripsy-induced abscopal effects is believed to be the release of tumor-specific antigens (TSAs) or tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that induce a systemic immune response.

Mediastinal tumors, regardless of their location, can grow to significant sizes, causing compression-related symptoms. The term "giant" mediastinal tumor is inconsistently defined in the literature. This study presents a new clinical-radiological classification (CRC) for mediastinal tumors and evaluates its applicability through a systematic review and a detailed case analysis of a giant thymolipoma.

Purpose: This study was planned to evaluate limb survival and clinical outcomes of fasciotomies done before and after 24-48 h due to compartment syndrome in the extremities caused by crush injuries after the earthquakes in Turkey on February 6-7, 2023.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 129 extremities of 84 patients that underwent fasciotomy after the 2023 Turkey earthquakes in this single center study. Demographical data of patients, affected limb, time to fasciotomy, limb survival, number of debridements, necrotic muscle debridement, whether graft-flap was needed, and the need for hemodialysis were analyzed.
