Article Abstract
Here we describe the adaptation of laser scanning cytometry (LSC) to measure micronuclei (MN) automatically in lymphocytes. MN frequencies were determined in irradiated human lymphocytes using the cytokinesis-block technique, and the results from LSC were compared with visual scoring results obtained from slides of cells stained using Fast Green and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). This fluorescent approach allowed clear identification of binucleated cells and detection of MN. The dose responses measured visually and by LSC showed similar trends and correlated positively (r = 0.9689; P < 0.0001). High-content analysis was developed to further automatically score MN within mono-, tri- and tetra-nucleated cells and to determine the nuclear division index and nuclear circularity values. The high-throughput nature of LSC can provide unique advantages in future DNA damage diagnostics in experimental and epidemiological studies. Importantly, it allows for co-detection of other biomarkers of interest within a single lymphocyte, and further development of this capability is anticipated.

The elemental imaging of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) provides spatial information on elements and therefore can further investigate the growth or evolution processes of an analyte. However, the accurate determination of spatial information is limited by the decoupling between the elemental distribution and mass spectrometry signals. This phenomenon, which is more distinct when high-diffusion ablation cells are used, arises from the overlap of ablation and the transport dispersion of aerosols.

Lamb waves are widely used for defect detection in structural health monitoring, and various methods are developed for Lamb wave data analysis. This paper presents an unsupervised Adversarial Transformer model for anomalous Lamb wave pattern detection by analyzing the spatiotemporal images generated by a hybrid PZT-scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV). The model includes the global attention and the local attention mechanisms, and both are trained adversarially.

This investigation aimed to enhance transdermal methotrexate delivery through human skin by employing Dr. Pen microneedles and poly(d,l-lactide--glycolide) acid microparticles formulated from eight polymer grades (Expansorb DLG 95-4A, DLG 75-5A, DLG 50-2A, DLG 50-5A, DLG 50-8A, DLG 50-6P, DLG 50-7P, and DLL 10-15A). A comprehensive characterization of the microparticles was performed, encompassing various parameters such as size, charge, morphology, microencapsulation efficiency, yield, release kinetics, and chemical composition.

Aim: Previous studies have shown the important relationships between Enterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans in post-treatment endodontic disease (PTED). However, the fungal-bacterial interactions and their possible functional routes are less understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from C.
