The aim of this article was to assess the flow capacity of end-to-side arterial anastomosis depending on the method of its implementation.  The study was conducted on 30 live Wistar rats in vivo, which were randomly divided into three groups. In each group of animals, an end-to-side microanastamosis was performed using three methods of donor artery preparation: 45 degrees (group A), 90 degrees (group B), and arteriotomy according to the "fish mouth" type (group C). The determination of flow capacity of anastomosis by measuring the blood volume flow with transonic flowmeter was performed.  The obtained average values after the anastomosis were, respectively, 7.335 mL/s (standard deviation [SD]: 2.0771; min: 4.05; max: 10.85), 7.36 mL/s (SD: 0.836 mi: 6.15; max: 8.75), and 6.37 mL/s (SD: 1.247; min: 5.05; max: 9.05). No statistically significant difference in the blood volume flow velocity between all types of anastomoses was obtained (  = 0.251).  The flow capacity of end-to-side arterial anastomosis does not depend on the chosen method of anastomosis.

Therapies against hematological malignancies using chimeric antigen receptors (CAR)-T cells have shown great potential; however, therapeutic success in solid tumors has been constrained due to limited tumor trafficking and infiltration, as well as the scarcity of cancer-specific solid tumor antigens. Therefore, the enrichment of tumor-antigen specific CAR-T cells in the desired region is critical for improving therapy efficacy and reducing systemic on-target/off-tumor side effects. Here, we functionalized human CAR-T cells with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), making them magnetically controllable for site-directed targeting.

Phagocytosis by immunocompetent cells is a key role in the biological defense mechanism and is the starting point of the reaction that leads from innate to acquired immunity. Several studies have demonstrated that some lactic acid bacteria strains activate the innate and acquired immune systems of the host. However, further investigation of the mechanism and improvement of usefulness is needed because the effect differs depending on the type and strain of lactic acid bacteria.

It has been shown that light speckle fluctuations provide a means for noninvasive measurements of cerebral blood flow index (CBFi). While conventional Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) provides marginal brain sensitivity for CBFi in adult humans, new techniques have recently emerged to improve diffuse light throughput and thus, brain sensitivity. Here we further optimize one such approach, interferometric diffusing wave spectroscopy (iDWS), with respect to number of independent channels, camera duty cycle and full well capacity, incident power, noise and artifact mitigation, and data processing.

An elastocaloric thermal battery based on generative learning-designed phase-change alloys is developed to facilitate the efficient recycling of low-temperature waste heat. This battery stores thermal energy as latent heat in a phase-change alloy and releases it on demand through applied stress at ambient temperature. Alloy compositions and corresponding processing parameters, tailored to desired transformation characteristics, are efficiently discovered through a generative learning-enabled inverse design framework, which converts the hand-drawn target heat flow curve into tangible compositional and processing designs.
