With the vigorous development of bone/cartilage tissue engineering research, the construction system for in vitro preparation of tissue engineered osteochondral repair substitutes is undergoing a transformation from static culture mode to 3D dynamic culture mode. However, for dynamic culture mode, many problems such as the selection of cultivation environment and the optimization of condition parameters need to be solved. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate and predict the stress conditions of adipose derived stem cells-chitosan/gelatin/Nano-hydroxyapatite (ADSCs-Cs/Gel/nHAP) structures and ADSCs-bone-derived scaffold structures, as well as the flow field distribution in spinner flask (SF) at different rotational speeds.

Automated segmentation and evaluation algorithms have been demonstrated to enhance the simplicity and translational utility of organoid technology. However, there is a pressing need for the development of complex organoids that possess epithelium environmental elements, dense regional cell aggregation, and intraorganoid morphologies. Nevertheless, there has been limited progress, including both the construction of data sets and the development of algorithms, in the use of user-friendly microscopy to address such complex organoids.

Article Synopsis
  • Industrialization along critical rivers like the middle Yangtze has led to serious environmental and public health concerns due to soil heavy metal pollution.
  • A study focusing on eight industrial parks revealed that heavy metals such as nickel, cadmium, and copper are most significantly present above normal levels, with their sources identified as various industrial processes, including chemical manufacturing and mechanical production.
  • The findings underline the severe ecological and health risks posed by these metals, particularly cadmium and mercury, which are major contributors to environmental hazards and carcinogenic threats, emphasizing the need for advanced analytical methods to assess and address these issues.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) affects 2%-5% of couples worldwide and remains a subject of debate regarding the effectiveness of lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) due to limited retrospective studies. We conducted a comprehensive Bayesian analysis to assess the impact of LIT on RSA. Using data from the Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital (2001-2020,  = 2316), a Bayesian generalized linear model with predictive projection feature selection was employed.

In this letter, an efficient one-pot asymmetric sequential reaction is achieved by organo/transition metal relay catalysis in constructing two consecutive C-C bonds, which involves enantioselective amino squaramide catalytic Mannich-type addition of pyrazolones to isatin-derived ketimines and a subsequent palladium catalyzed diastereoselective allylic alkylation of pyrazolones with allylic acetates. An array of novel pyrazolone-aminooxindole-propylene structural motifs are obtained in a high level of yield and with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivity (up to 95% yield, >20:1 dr, >99% ee). This methodology features the formation of vicinal quarternary carbon-stereocenters, and the second all-carbon tetrasubstituted stereogenic center is induced by joint action of the achiral palladium catalysis and the chiral environment generated from the Mannich step.
