It is qualitatively well known that kinetics related to nucleation and growth can shift apparent phase boundaries from their equilibrium value. In this work, we have measured this effect in Bi using time-resolved X-ray diffraction with unprecedented 0.25 ms time resolution, accurately determining phase transition pressures at compression rates spanning five orders of magnitude (10-10 GPa/s) using the dynamic diamond anvil cell. An over-pressurization of the Bi-III/Bi-V phase boundary is observed at fast compression rates for different sample types and stress states, and the largest over-pressurization that is observed is ΔP = 2.5 GPa. The work presented here paves the way for future studies of transition kinetics at previously inaccessible compression rates.

Recent advancements in tissue engineering have promoted the development of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) that significantly enhance peripheral nerve injury treatment, improving outcomes and recovery rates. However, utilising tailored biomimetic three-dimensional (3D) topological porous structures combined with multiple bio-effect neurotrophic factors to create environments similar to neural tissues, regulate local immune responses, and develop a supportive microenvironment to promote peripheral nerve regeneration and repair poses significant challenges. Herein, a biomimetic extracellular matrix (ECM) NGC featuring an interconnected 3D porous network and sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is designed using multi-functional gelatine microcapsules (GMs).

Understanding the Mechanisms of Main Bronchial Compression in Patients with Intracardiac Anomalies.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

September 2024

Department of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery, Kanazawa Medical University, Ishikawaken, Japan.

Background: The study focuses on vascular compression of the main bronchus in the aortopulmonary space, examining potential contributors within the same axial plane. Its goal is to uncover mechanisms of bronchial compression in patients with intracardiac anomalies and review surgical outcomes, aiming to enhance future results.

Methods: The morphology and topology of structures within the axial plane of the aortopulmonary space were objectively analyzed, including the sternum, ascending aorta, heart, pulmonary artery, descending aorta, and other relevant elements.

Pilon fractures typically result from high-energy trauma combined with axial compression. The surrounding soft tissues are often severely compromised, complicating treatment. These fractures are best classified according to the Working Group for Osteosynthesis Issues/Orthopedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) classification system.

Deep Learning for Discrimination of Early Spinal Tuberculosis from Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture on CT.

Infect Drug Resist

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, First Affiliated Hospital, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, People's Republic of China.

Background: Early differentiation between spinal tuberculosis (STB) and acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is crucial for determining the appropriate clinical management and treatment pathway, thereby significantly impacting patient outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of deep learning (DL) models using reconstructed sagittal CT images in the differentiation of early STB from acute OVCF, with the aim of enhancing diagnostic precision, reducing reliance on MRI and biopsies, and minimizing the risks of misdiagnosis.

Methods: Data were collected from 373 patients, with 302 patients recruited from a university-affiliated hospital serving as the training and internal validation sets, and an additional 71 patients from another university-affiliated hospital serving as the external validation set.
