The highly efficient removal of bilirubin from blood by hemoperfusion for liver failure therapy remains a challenge in the clinical field due to the low adsorption capacity and poor hemocompatibility of currently used carbon-based adsorbents. Polysaccharide-based cryogels seem to be promising candidates for hemoperfusion adsorbents owing to their inherited excellent hemocompatibility. However, the weak mechanical strength and relatively low adsorption capacity of polysaccharide-based cryogels limited their application in bilirubin adsorption.

Article Synopsis
  • Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a testing method for lungs that is usually expensive and requires lab animals, but a new method using sheep lungs from an abattoir has been developed to reduce costs.
  • In the study, sheep lungs were flushed and perfused under controlled conditions, and various measurements were recorded, showing stability in oxygen levels and pressure during perfusion.
  • The results indicate that abattoir-sourced sheep lungs can be perfused effectively, providing a more accessible and cost-effective option for lung research, which could lead to more discoveries in treating lung diseases.

Background: On 5 March 2015, Taiwan Centers for Disease Control was notified of more than 200 students with gastroenteritis at a senior high school during excursion to Kenting. We conducted an outbreak investigation to identify the causative agent and possible vehicle of the pathogen.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study by using a structured questionnaire to interview all students for consumed food items during their stay at the resort.

Mantle superplasticity and its self-made demise.

Nature

December 2010

Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, 1-1-1 Yayoi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0032, Japan.

The unusual capability of solid crystalline materials to deform plastically, known as superplasticity, has been found in metals and even in ceramics. Such superplastic behaviour has been speculated for decades to take place in geological materials, ranging from surface ice sheets to the Earth's lower mantle. In materials science, superplasticity is confirmed when the material deforms with large tensile strain without failure; however, no experimental studies have yet shown this characteristic in geomaterials.
