We found that 94% of 77 haptens evaluated after considering their applicability domain and solubility in the chosen media stimulated reporter activity. These studies demonstrated that most haptens, irrespective of their potency, increased IL-1β mRNA expression by THP-1 cells, confirming that human DCs also produce IL-1β after stimulation by most haptens. The luciferase assay using THP-G1b cells is thus another skin sensitisation test based on the adverse outcome pathway with reasonable performance.
For the evaluation and rupture risk assessment of intracranial aneurysms, clinical, morphological and hemodynamic parameters are analyzed. The reliability of intracranial hemodynamic simulations strongly depends on the underlying models. Due to the missing information about the intracranial vessel wall, the patient-specific wall thickness is often neglected as well as the specific physiological and pathological properties of the vessel wall.

In this work, we present a model for structural simulations with patient-specific wall thickness including different tissue types based on postmortem histologic image data. Images of histologic 2D slices from intracranial aneurysms were manually segmented in nine tissue classes. After virtual inflation, they were combined into 3D models. This approach yields multiple 3D models of the inner and outer wall and different tissue parts as a prerequisite for subsequent simulations.

We presented a pipeline to generate 3D models of aneurysms with respect to the different tissue textures occurring in the wall. First experiments show that including the variance of the tissue in the structural simulation affect the simulation result. Especially at the interfaces between neighboring tissue classes, the larger influence of stiffer components on the stability equilibrium became obvious.

The presented approach enables the creation of a geometric model with differentiated wall tissue. This information can be used for different applications, like hemodynamic simulations, to increase the modeling accuracy.

To explore small fiber somatosensory and sympathetic function in PD and MSA.

We recruited 20 PD patients (7 women, median age 65.5years; IQR 54.75-70.0), 10 MSA patients (4 women; median age 68years; IQR 66.25-74.0), and 10 healthy subjects (HC; 4 women, median age 68; IQR 59.0-71.0years). Autonomic testing included forehead cooling, intradermal microdialysis of norepinephrine (NE; 10
; 10
; 10
; and 10
), and orthostatic hypotension (OH); somatosensory testing included quantitative sensory testing (QST) according to the protocol of the German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain (DFNS).

OH occurred more frequently in PD (p = 0.018) and MSA (p = 0.002) compared to HC. Vasoconstriction responses were stronger in PD compared to MSA during forehead cooling (p = 0.044) and microdialysis of physiologically concentrated NE solutions (10
; 10-8; p = 0.017). PD and MSA had impaired cold (PD p < 0.01; MSA p < 0.05) and warm detection thresholds (PD and MSA, both p < 0.05). The mechanical detection threshold was higher in PD (p < 0.01). Conversely, mechanical pain thresholds were decreased in PD and MSA (both p < 0.001), indicating mechanical hyperalgesia.

In contrast to MSA, we found evidence of peripheral adrenoreceptor hypersensitivity in PD, probably caused by peripheral sympathetic denervation. Sensory testing revealed peripheral neuropathy and central pain sensitization in PD and MSA. Jointly, our data demonstrate autonomic and somatosensory dysfunction in PD and MSA.

Depression at all ages is recognized as a global public health concern, but less is known about the welfare burden following early-life depression. This study aimed to (1) estimate the magnitude of associations between depression in adolescence and social transfer payments in adulthood; and (2) address the impact of major comorbid psychopathology on these associations.

This is a longitudinal cohort study of 539 participants assessed at age 16-17 using structured diagnostic interviews. An ongoing 25-year follow-up linked the cohort (n = 321 depressed; n = 218 nondepressed) to nationwide population-based registries. Outcomes included consecutive annual data on social transfer payments due to unemployment, work disability, and public assistance, spanning from age 18 to 40. Parameter estimations used the generalized estimating equations approach.

Adolescent depression was associated with all forms of social transfer payments. The estimated overall payment per person and year was 938 USD (95% CI 551-1326) ov suggests that the clinical heterogeneity of early-life depression needs to be considered from a longer-term societal perspective.
Nucleus cuneiformis (NC), a reticular nucleus of the midbrain, is a part of the descending pain modulatory system and therefore has an important role in pain perception.

Considering the abundance of GABA
and cannabinoid receptors in the NC and also the bidirectional roles for GABA in controlling nociception, the present study examined the effects of bilateral intra-NC microinjection of different doses of the GABA
receptor agonist, muscimol, and the GABA
receptor antagonist, bicuculline, on pain modulation using formalin test. We also assessed interaction between canabinergic and GABAergic systems in the NC during this test.

Rats were exposed to intra-NC microinjection of bicuculline (50,100, and 200 ng/side) or muscimol (60, 120, and 240 ng/side) and then subjected to the formalin test. In another set of experiments, the effects of muscimol (60 ng/side) or bicuculline (50 ng/side) administration 5 min before a cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN 55,212-2 (5, 10, and 20 μg/side) microinjection into NCociceptive effect of WIN 55,212-2 in the formalin test is mediated partly by the activity of local GABAA receptors in the NC.
Chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP) and Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) present distinct tissue remodeling processes. The proteins involved in the process of tissue remodeling have their production and activity related to the inflammatory environment they are. This study aimed to evaluate the protein expression of BMP-7, MMP-9, TGF-β in chronic sinusitis with and without nasal polyposis and their relations with IL-6 and IL-10.

Cross-sectional observational study with 86 participants was divided into three groups patients with CRSwNP (n = 34), patients with CRSsNP (n = 26), and a control group (CG) without inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa (n = 26). The primary outcomes were the concentrations of BMP-7, MMP-9, TGF-β, IL-6, and IL-10. Secondary outcomes were the correlations of these markers.

The TGF-β dosage was elevated in the CRSsNP group and reduced in the CSwNP group. The dosage of IL-6 was higher in the CSwNP group, and the IL-10 dosage lower in the groups with sinusitis, and IL-10 was positively correlated with BMP-7 in all groups. There was a negative correlation between IL-6 and IL-10 in all groups observed. The correlation between MMP-9 and interleukins was lost in the CRSsNP group. There was a positive correlation between TGF-β and IL-6 in the CG, and negative in the CRSsNP group.

An inflammation shown in rhinosinusitis with an increase in IL-6 and decrease in IL-10 when compared with the control group; only TGF-β was altered in the tissue remodeling process when compared with BMP-7 and MMP-9 in rhinosinusitis.

The vast majority of applications of ECL are based on coreactant ECL which can be generated in aqueous media at relatively low potentials compared with organic solvents. However, the development of more efficient ECL systems remains a compelling goal. Co-reaction accelerator (CRA) can significantly enhance the ECL signal through promoting more production of the coreactant intermediate. Compared with other ECL enhancement strategies, the CRA protocol is distinctive owing to its diverse, simple, and highly effective features. Various species such as inorganic compound, organic compound, and nanomaterials (NMs) have been developed as CRA and NM CRA has gained particular attention owing to their unique properties of excellent catalytic behavior and large surface area. By integration with the inherent advantages of ECL, bioanalysis based on CRA-enhanced ECL showed excellent performance such as ultrahigh sensitivity, wide dynamic range, low cost, simple instrumentation, and measurements in complex media. It has been extensively applied in various fields including clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Therefore, it is of great interest to present a systematic and critical review on the advances in ECL CRA. Herein, the recent progress on CRA and its applications in ECL bioanalysis are summarized by illustrating some representative work and a discussion of the future development trends of CRA ECL is offered.Speciation of chromium (Cr) was demonstrated using microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μ-PADs) that permit the colorimetric determination of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) via online oxidation. The μ-PADs consist of left and right channels that allow the simultaneous measurements of Cr(VI) and total Cr based on the colorimetric reaction of Cr(VI) with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide (DPC). For the determination of Cr(VI), a sample solution was directly reacted with DPC in the left channels whereas total Cr was determined in the right channels, which permitted online oxidation in the pretreatment zone containing cerium (IV) (Ce(IV)) followed by a colorimetric reaction with DPC. We found that the online oxidation of Cr(III) proceeded 100% whereas Ce(IV) inhibited the reaction of Cr(VI) with DPC. Therefore, speciation can be achieved by measuring the Cr(VI) and total Cr in the left and right channels followed by the subtraction of Cr(VI) from total Cr. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.008 and 0.02 mg L-1 for Cr(VI) and 0.07 and 0.1 mg L-1 for Cr(III) or total Cr, respectively. The linear dynamic ranges were 0.02-100 mg L-1 and 0.1-60 mg L-1 for Cr(VI) and Cr(III), respectively. The RSDs were less than 7.5%. The results obtained using μ-PADs were in good agreement with those obtained via ICP-OES with recoveries of 92-108% for Cr(III) and 108-110% for Cr (VI) using μ-PADs, and 106-110% for total Cr using ICP-OES. Thus, the μ-PADs could potentially be utilized for the speciation of chromium in developing countries where environmental pollution and the availability of sophisticated instruments are significant problems.
