Article Abstract
Nucleosomes are proven to be the fundamental unit of chromosome structure. The stacking and folding of the nucleosome fibers within a chromosome is not fully understood. One of the reasons for the incomplete understanding of chromosome internal structure is that a nucleosome, about 11 nm in diameter, can not be resolved within the large chromatids (∼ 700 nm diameter) of a chromosome. In a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the large difference in size between the small diameter nucleosomes and a chromosome results in an extremely low contrast arising from individual nucleosomes. Consequently, the nucleosome fiber can not be detected within an intact chromosome. In this study, we compared two different methods in TEM, namely the hollow cone illumination (HCI) TEM and wavelet transform (WT) analysis on bright-field TEM (BFTEM) images, to analyze internal structure of chromosomes at length scales ranging from 10 to 30 nm. Isolated chromosomes were expanded and the orientation of the chromatin fibers was measured by HCI TEM and by WT applied to BFTEM. We demonstrated that the results obtained by the two methods are in an agreement.

Background: Various nozzle designs are used in pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), but comparative in vivo data on their pharmacologic effects are limited.
Methods: Three groups of four pigs each received PIPAC with oxaliplatin (92 mg) using nebulizers with different designs: group 1 (full-spray-cone single directional), group 2 (hollow-spray-cone single directional), and group 3 (full-spray-cone multidirectional). Oxaliplatin concentrations (µg/g) were measured in blood, peritoneal tissue, and intra-abdominal fluid using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

CT-guided adaptive radiotherapy (aRT) based on HyperSight-CBCT provides high-quality imaging, allowing quantitative radiomic feature analysis as a monitoring tool. This study comprehensively evaluates the stability of radiomic features, as potential imaging biomarkers, in pelvic structures of prostate cancer patients treated with adaptive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Between December 2023 and July 2024, 32 patients with localized prostate cancer underwent adaptive SBRT at the Ethos linear accelerator (Varian, Siemens Healthineers) with HyperSight-CBCT imaging.

Micro-pumps are widely used in biomedical equipment such as flow cytometry. In micro-flow systems, pumps are usually the main tool and means to control the flow rate of liquid. Controlling the particle movement in micro-flow is always a difficult problem in a mixed fluid of liquid and particles.

This study employed the Taguchi technique to investigate the influence of various liquid nitrogen quick-freezing parameters on litchi fruit cracking, nitrogen consumption, and freezing time. The experiments included testing different freezing temperatures (- 40, - 50, - 60, and - 70 °C), two types of nitrogen spraying nozzles (Hollow-cone and Full-cone), and two fan speeds (800 and 1200 rpm). Before freezing, the litchis were soaked in a solution and precooled as a pre-treatment to mitigate peel cracking and preserve quality.
