    Description: Author(s): Ying Xiang, Meng-jie Zhou, Ming-Ya Xu, Péter Salamon, Nándor Éber, and Ágnes Buka Electric-field-induced patterns of diverse morphology have been observed over a wide frequency range in a recently synthesized bent-core nematic (BCN) liquid crystal. At low frequencies (up to ∼25 Hz), the BCN exhibited unusual polarity-dependent patterns. When the amplitude of the ac field was enha... [Phys. Rev. E 91, 042501] Published Thu Apr 02, 2015

    Description: Iron overload, caused by hereditary hemochromatosis or repeated blood transfusions in some diseases, such as beta thalassemia, bone marrow failure and myelodysplastic syndrome, can significantly induce injured bone marrow (BM) function as well as parenchyma organ dysfunctions. However, the effect of iron overload and its mechanism remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the effects of iron overload on the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) from a mouse model. Our results showed that iron overload markedly decreased the ratio and clonogenic function of murine HSPCs by the elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This finding is supported by the results of NAC or DFX treatment, which reduced ROS level by inhibiting NOX4 and p38MAPK and improved the long-term and multi-lineage engrafment of iron overload HSCs after transplantation. Therefore, all of these data demonstrate that iron overload injures the hematopoiesis of BM by enhancing ROS through NOX4 and p38MAPK. This will be helpful for the treatment of iron overload in patients with hematopoietic dysfunction. Scientific Reports 5 doi: 10.1038/srep10181

    Description: Two new coordination polymers (CPs) formed from 5-iodobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (H 2 iip) in the presence of the flexible 1,4-bis(1 H -imidazol-1-yl)butane (bimb) auxiliary ligand, namely poly[[μ 2 -1,4-bis(1 H -imidazol-1-yl)butane-κ 2 N 3 : N 3′ ](μ 3 -5-iodobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato-κ 4 O 1 , O 1′ : O 3 : O 3′ )cobalt(II)], [Co(C 8 H 3 IO 4 )(C 10 H 14 N 4 )] n or [Co(iip)(bimb)] n , (1), and poly[[[μ 2 -1,4-bis(1 H -imidazol-1-yl)butane-κ 2 N 3 : N 3′ ](μ 2 -5-iodobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato-κ 2 O 1 : O 3 )zinc(II)] trihydrate], {[Zn(C 8 H 3 IO 4 )(C 10 H 14 N 4 )]·3H 2 O} n or {[Zn(iip)(bimb)]·3H 2 O} n , (2), were synthesized and characterized by FT–IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), solid-state UV–Vis spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and powder X-ray diffraction analysis (PXRD). The iip 2− ligand in (1) adopts the (κ 1 ,κ 1 -μ 2 )(κ 1 , κ 1 -μ 1 )-μ 3 coordination mode, linking adjacent secondary building units into a ladder-like chain. These chains are further connected by the flexible bimb ligand in a trans – trans – trans conformation. As a result, a twofold three-dimensional interpenetrating α-Po network is formed. Complex (2) exhibits a two-dimensional (4,4) topological network architecture in which the iip 2− ligand shows the (κ 1 )(κ 1 )-μ 2 coordination mode. The solid-state UV–Vis spectra of (1) and (2) were investigated, together with the fluorescence properties of (2) in the solid state.

    Description: Background: To examine whether electro-acupuncture (EA) could decrease 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and increase neuro-peptide Y (NPY) in the brain-gut axis (BGA) in D-IBS using rat models. Methods: Rats were randomly exposed to unpredictable chronic stress for 3 weeks followed by 1-hour acute restraint stress (CAS) after 7 days of rest, or daily gavage of Senna decoction (6 g/kg) plus chronic restraint stress (for a duration of 2 h, starting from 1 h prior to the gavage) for 2 weeks (ISC). The content of 5-HT, CGRP and NPY in the distal colon, spinal cord, hypothalamus was examined at the end of the treatment. Results: 1. The two rat models exhibited similar characteristics, e.g., increased number of fecal pellets expelled in 1 h, decreased sacchar-intake, decreased CRD, elevated 5-HT, CGRP content and decreased NPY in the distal colon, spinal cord, hypothalamus (P

    Description: State-of-the-art pansharpening methods generally inject the spatial structures of a high spatial resolution (HR) panchromatic (PAN) image into the corresponding low spatial resolution (LR) multispectral (MS) image by an injection model. In this paper, a novel pansharpening method with an edge-preserving guided filter based on three-layer decomposition is proposed. In the proposed method, the PAN image is decomposed into three layers: A strong edge layer, a detail layer, and a low-frequency layer. The edge layer and detail layer are then injected into the MS image by a proportional injection model. In addition, two new quantitative evaluation indices, including the modified correlation coefficient (MCC) and the modified universal image quality index (MUIQI) are developed. The proposed method was tested and verified by IKONOS, QuickBird, and Gaofen (GF)-1 satellite images, and it was compared with several of state-of-the-art pansharpening methods from both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The experimental results confirm the superiority of the proposed method.

    Description: Remote Sensing, Vol. 9, Pages 1247: Estimating Land Surface Temperature from Feng Yun-3C/MERSI Data Using a New Land Surface Emissivity Scheme Remote Sensing doi: 10.3390/rs9121247 Authors: Xiangchen Meng Jie Cheng Shunlin Liang Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter for a wide number of applications, including hydrology, meteorology and surface energy balance. In this study, we first proposed a new land surface emissivity (LSE) scheme, including a lookup table-based method to determine the vegetated surface emissivity and an empirical method to derive the bare soil emissivity from the Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) broadband emissivity (BBE) product. Then, the Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) reanalysis data and the Feng Yun-3C/Medium Resolution Spectral Imager (FY-3C/MERSI) precipitable water vapor product were used to correct the atmospheric effects. After resolving the land surface emissivity and atmospheric effects, the LST was derived in a straightforward manner from the FY-3C/MERSI data by the radiative transfer equation algorithm and the generalized single-channel algorithm. The mean difference between the derived LSE and field-measured LSE over seven stations is approximately 0.002. Validation of the LST retrieved with the LSE determined by the new scheme can achieve an acceptable accuracy. The absolute biases are less than 1 K and the STDs (RMSEs) are less than 1.95 K (2.2 K) for both the 1000 m and 250 m spatial resolutions. The LST accuracy is superior to that retrieved with the LSE determined by the commonly used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) threshold method. Thus, the new emissivity scheme can be used to improve the accuracy of the LSE and further the LST for sensors with broad spectral ranges such as FY-3C/MERSI.

    Description: Purpose To assess the efficacy of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and to compare DKI-derived parameters with that of conventional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for grading the inflammatory activity of Crohn's disease (CD). Materials and Methods In all, 38 patients with CD underwent 3T magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) with DKI (b values of 0–2000 s/mm 2 ). The inflammatory activity of the bowel segments was graded by magnetic resonance index of activity (MaRIA) as inactive (〈7), mild (≥7 and 〈11), or moderate-severe (≥11). Apparent diffusion for non-Gaussian distribution (D app ) and apparent kurtosis coefficient (K app ) on DKI as well as apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on DWI were compared. Results In all, 86 bowel segments including inactive (20), mild (19), and moderate-severe (47) CD were analyzed. The differences in K app , D app , and ADC among inactive, mild, and moderate-severe CD were significant (all P 〈 0.05). K app ( r = 0.862), D app ( r = −0.755), and ADC ( r = −0.713) correlated well with MaRIA in all segments. Stronger correlation with MaRIA in moderate-severe CD was found for K app ( r = 0.647) than that of D app ( r = −0.414) and ADC ( r = −0.580). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed high accuracy of K app , D app , and ADC for differentiating active from inactive CD (AUC: 0.953 for K app , 0.944 for D app , 0.907 for ADC) as well as differentiating inactive-mild from moderate-severe CD (AUC: 0.946 for K app , 0.887 for D app , 0.846 for ADC). The threshold K app of 0.731 allowed differentiation of active from inactive CD with 89.4% sensitivity and 95% specificity. Conclusion DKI of CD is clinically feasible and might be superior to conventional DWI for grading the inflammatory activity of CD. Level of Evidence : 2 Technical Efficacy : Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson.

    Description: Extragonadal primary yolk sac tumor of the intestinal tract origin is exceedingly rare. Through a multiple disciplinary team, thediagnosis and treatment of primary intestinal yolk sac tumor were further defined. We report 2 such cases with detailed histologicand immunohistochemical analysis. The two patients were a 7-year-old girl and a 29-year-old woman. Both of thempreoperatively had an elevated serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level (1210 ng/mL). The tumors are located in the intestine andimaging examination indicated the rectum as the primary site. Grossly the mass was grey-white and crisp texture. Microscopicexamination featured reticular, microcystic, macrocystic, papillary, solid, and some glandular patterns. Immunohistochemically,tumors cells of both cases were positive for SALL4, AFP, pan-cytokeratin (AE1/AE3), and glypican-3. Simultaneously, a stain forEMA, OCT4, CD30, HCG, vimentin and CK20 were negative in all 2 neoplasms. The features of morphology,immunohistochemistry, laboratory examinations and imaging studies consist of the diagnosis of primary yolk sac tumor of the intestine.
