Article Abstract
DNA labelling provides an exciting tool for elucidating the in vivo dynamics of lymphocytes. However, the kinetics of label incorporation and loss are complex and results can depend on the method of interpretation. Here we describe two approaches to interpreting labelling data. Both seek to explain the common observation that the estimated death rate of lymphocytes is higher than their estimated proliferation rate. In the first approach, an additional source of lymphocytes is postulated. In the second, it is maintained that lymphocyte heterogeneity is sufficient to account for the observation. We explain why we favour the second approach, arguing that the addition of a large source of lymphocytes is unnecessary and difficult to reconcile with what is currently known about lymphocyte physiology. We discuss how the choice of model can affect data interpretation.

To develop and validate a deep-learning-based algorithm for automatic identification of anatomical landmarks and calculating femoral and tibial version angles (FTT angles) on lower-extremity CT scans. In this IRB-approved, retrospective study, lower-extremity CT scans from 270 adult patients (median age, 69 years; female to male ratio, 235:35) were analyzed. CT data were preprocessed using contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization and RGB superposition to enhance tissue boundary distinction.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Biejia-Ruangan (BRG) has been approved in China as an antifibrotic traditional Chinese medicine for patients with chronic liver diseases; however, data on the reversal of hepatitis B-related cirrhosis by BRG are still limited.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the reversal effect of BRG in patients with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis.
Materials And Methods: Hepatitis B-related cirrhotic patients who received either entecavir (ETV) monotherapy or combination therapy with ETV and BRG for 7 years, were analysed.

Ketamine is a highly effective treatment for difficult-to-treat or treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The commercially developed intranasal spray containing S-ketamine has demonstrated short and long-term efficacy and safety in phase 3 clinical trials leading to regulatory approval for TRD in many countries. Conversely, generic racemic ketamine is prescribed 'off-label'.

In cancer research, multiplexed imaging allows detailed characterization of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and its link to patient prognosis. The integrated immunoprofiling of large adaptive cancer patient cohorts (IMMUcan) consortium collects multi-modal imaging data from thousands of patients with cancer to perform broad molecular and cellular spatial profiling. Here, we describe and compare two workflows for multiplexed immunofluorescence (mIF) and imaging mass cytometry (IMC) developed within IMMUcan to enable the generation of standardized data for cancer tissue analysis.
