Published: October 2009

We report the frequency stabilization of a cw extended-cavity diode laser against saturated absorption lines of the H(2)O17 isotopologue of water vapor at around 1.384 microm. The saturation of rotovibrational transitions is achieved by filling a high-finesse optical resonator with H(2)O17 at low pressure and by locking the laser frequency to the resonator by using the Pound-Drever-Hall technique. Absolute frequency stabilization is obtained, locking the cavity resonance to the center of the sub-Doppler line by means of the wavelength modulation method. A relative frequency stability of sigma(y)(tau)=10(-13)(0.1tau(-2)+0.9)(1/2) is demonstrated for integration times in the range 4 ms

RYR3 Variants Are Potentially Associated With Idiopathic (Non-Lesional) Partial Epilepsy/Susceptibility of Seizures, Toward Understanding the Gene-Disease Association by Genetic Dependent Nature.

The RYR3 gene encodes a brain-type ryanodine receptor that functions to release calcium from intracellular storage and plays an essential role in calcium signaling. The associations between RYR3 variants and brain disorders remain unknown. We performed whole-exome sequencing in patients with idiopathic (non-lesional) partial epilepsy of unknown etiology.

Background: Tracheal, bronchial, and lung cancers (TBL cancers) pose a significant global health challenge, with rising incidence and mortality rates, particularly in China. Studies from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), 2021, can guide screening and prevention strategies for TBL cancer. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the burden of TBL cancers in China compared to global data.

Human rhinovirus C (HRV-C) is a significant contributor to respiratory tract infections in children and is implicated in asthma exacerbations across all age groups. Despite its impact, there is currently no licensed vaccine available for HRV-C. Here, we present a novel approach to address this gap by employing immunoinformatics techniques for the design of a multi-epitope-based vaccine against HRV-C.

VACCIMEL is a therapeutic cancer vaccine composed of four irradiated allogeneic human melanoma cell lines rationally selected to cover a wide range of melanoma tumor-associated antigens (TAA). We previously demonstrated that vaccination in the adjuvant setting prolonged the distant-metastasis-free survival of cutaneous melanoma patients and that T cells reactive to TAA and the patient's private neoantigens increased during treatment. However, immune responses directed to vaccine antigens that may arise from VACCIMEL's somatic mutations and human polymorphisms remain unexplored.

RF Heating Effects in CEST NMR with Hyperpolarized 129Xe Considering Different Spin Exchange Kinetics and Saturation Schemes.

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) improves the sensitivity of NMR but depending on the spin exchange kinetics, it can require substantial RF energy deposition to label magnetization. Potential side effects like RF-induced heating may occur and must be monitored. Here, we explore the parameter space considering not only undesired heating but efficient CEST build-up (depolarization rate), spectral resolution (line width), and subsequent effects like changes in chemical shifts of CEST responses must be considered, too.
