Objective: the aim of study was testing and introduction in clinical practice combination of EUS with sonoelastography, fine-needle biopsy and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy in advanced diagnostic of pancreatic disease.
Materials And Methods: in the period from February 2014 to December 2015, we accumulated experience of EUS-FNA in 72 patients mostly with tumor pathology of the pancreas. In 16 cases we used 19G, in 49-22G, and in 7 patients - 25G needles. In 5 patients we used COOK Echotip Procore needle. In 8 cases we performed confocal laser endomicroscopy through the 19G needle (nCLE) in 3 patients with cystic and in 5 - with solid tumors. In 20 patients, there we used.HITA-CHI-PENTAX sonoelastography was performed.
Results: There were no complications in EUS-FNA. In all cases we received pathology verification of disease. nCLE results always confirmed by morphological examination of material. In elastography examination normal pancreatic tissue had a equable green-yellow color, in chronic pancreatitis on the same background there were areas of blue seal parenchyma, in the cases pancreatic adenocarcinoma it was marked predominance of blue color scale, in neuroendocrine tumors - diffuse distribution of green and blue areas. Using nCLE in patients with adenocarcinoma revealed the destruction of certain glands, polymorphic nuclei of epithelial cells, with their enlargement, deformation, loss of polarity. Appliance of Procore needle has its technical features, but allowed us to obtain more material with less bloody - due to fewer number of passes.
Conclusion: Thus, our study confirms the effectiveness of EUS-FNA with sonoelastography and nCLE. It defines objectives for improvement and expansion of the range for their clinical use.

Oral cancer detection is based on biopsy histopathology, however with digital microscopy imaging technology there is real potential for rapid multi-site imaging and simultaneous diagnostic analysis. Fifty-nine patients with oral mucosal abnormalities were imaged in vivo with a confocal laser endomicroscope using the contrast agents acriflavine and fluorescein for the detection of oral epithelial dysplasia and oral cancer. To analyse the 9168 images frames obtained, three tandem applied pre-trained Inception-V3 convolutional neural network (CNN) models were developed using transfer learning in the PyTorch framework.

The stabilizing effect of biopolymers on Pickering emulsions has attracted widespread interest in recent years. In this study, the interactions between chitosan (CS) and octenyl succinic anhydride starch (OS) were investigated and used to modulate the interfacial properties of Pickering emulsions, which are crucial for determining emulsion stability. CS/OS complex particles were prepared via electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions and used to stabilize Pickering emulsions for the encapsulation of astaxanthin (AST).

This study aimed to elucidate the pathways through which covalent and non-covalent interactions between deamidated gliadin (DG) and tannic acid (TA) on influence the stability of Pickering emulsions. The interactions induced protein unfolding, as evidenced by increased ultraviolet absorption and a red shift in fluorescence emission. DG-TA composite nanoparticles effectively stabilized high internal phase emulsions, whereas DG nanoparticles alone did not.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), often caused by biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, present significant clinical challenges. Skt35, a dioxopiperidinamide derivative of cinnamic acid, was investigated for its potential antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against S. aureus biofilms.

Background: While widefield microscopy has long been constrained by out-of-focus scattering, advancements have generated a solution in the form of confocal laser scanning microscopy (cLSM) and optical sectioning microscopy using structured illumination (OSM). In this study, we aim to investigate, using microglia branching, if cLSM and OSM can produce images with comparable morphological characteristics.
Results: By imaging the somatosensory microglia from a tissue slice of a 3-week-old mouse and establishing morphological parameters that characterizes the microglial branching pattern, we were able to show that there is no difference in total length of the branch tree, number of branches, mean branch length and number of primary to terminal branches.
