Abstract
PURPOSE In 1959, Maroteaux and Lamy initially designated pseudoachondroplasia as a distinct dysplasia different from achondroplasia the most common form of skeletal dysplasia. Pseudoachondroplasia is caused by a mutation in the collagen oligomeric matrix protein gene (COMP) gene on chromosome 19p13.1-p12 encoding the COMP. The COMP gene mutations result in rendering the articular and growth plate cartilages incapable of withstanding routine biomechanical loads with resultant deformity of the joints. The purpose of the study was to characterize the typical orthopaedic findings in pseudoachondroplasia. METHODS The charts and radiographs of 141 patients with pseudoachondroplasia were analyzed. This cohort, to our knowledge, represents the largest group of patients describing the typical orthopaedic manifestations of pseudoachondroplasia. RESULTS Patients with pseudoachondroplasia have normal craniofacial appearance with normal intelligence. Short stature is not present at birth and generally appears by two to four years of age. The condition is a form of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and the long bones are characterized by dysplastic changes in the epiphysis, metaphysis and vertebral bodies. Radiographically the long bones have altered the appearance and structure of the epiphyses with small irregularly formed or fragmented epiphyses or flattening. The metaphyseal regions of the long bones show flaring, widening or 'trumpeting'. The cervical (89%) and thoracic and lumbar vertebrae show either platyspondyly, ovoid, 'cod-fish' deformity or anterior 'beaking'. Kyphosis (28%), scoliosis (58%) and lumbar lordosis (100%) are commonly seen. The femoral head and acetabulum are severely dysplastic (100%). The knees show either genu valgum (22%), genu varum (56%) or 'windswept' deformity (22%). CONCLUSION Most commonly these distortions of the appendicular and the axial skeleton lead to premature arthritis particularly of the hips and often the knees not uncommonly in the 20- to 30-year-old age group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Fast visible imaging of the lower divertor from above is used to study the structure and dynamics of lobes induced by resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in Edge-Localized Mode (ELM) suppression experiments in DIII-D. The best compromise between the amount of light and sharp imaging was obtained using emission at 601 nm from Fulcher band molecular deuterium. Multiple spatially resolved peaks in the D2 emission, taken as a proxy for the particle flux, are readily resolved during RMPs, in contrast to the heat flux measured by infrared cameras, which shows little spatial structure in ITER-like conditions. The 25 mm objective lens provides high spatial resolution (2-4 mm/pixel) from the centerpost to the outer shelf over 40° toroidally that overlaps the field of view of the IRTV that measures the divertor heat flux, allowing direct comparison in non-axisymmetric discharges. The image is coupled to a Phantom 7.3 camera using a Schott wound fiber bundle, providing high temporal resolution that allows the lobe dynamics to be resolved between ELMs and across ELM suppression onset. These measurements are used to study the heat and particle flux in 3D magnetic fields and to validate models for the plasma response to RMPs.

Abstract
The bottom-up approach in synthetic biology involves the engineering of synthetic cells by designing biological and chemical building blocks, which can be combined in order to mimic cellular functions. The first step for mimicking a living cell is the design of an appropriate compartment featuring a multifunctional membrane. This is of particular interest since it allows for the selective attachment of different groups or molecules to the membrane. In this context, we report on a modular approach for polymeric vesicles, so-called polymersomes, with a multifunctional surface, namely hydroxyl, alkyne and acrylate groups. We demonstrate that the surface of the polymersome can be functionalized to facilitate imaging, via fluorescent dyes, or to improve the specific adhesion to surfaces by using a biotin functionalization. This generally applicable multifunctionality allows for the covalent integration of various molecules in the membrane of a synthetic cell.

Abstract
Summary
Aim of this study was to characterize suitable technetium- 99m labeled tracers for lymphoscintigraphy by comparative animal tests. Animals, methods: To evaluate the influence of the particle size and the organ tracer-uptake on lymphtransport animal experiments were performed on six different agents (including one control group). Activity distributions were examined in Sprague-Dawley-rats by lymphoscintigraphy; the maximum uptake (count-rate) of the whole body and in lymph nodes were analyzed by regions- of-interest-technique, respectively. Additionally, for characterization of lymphatic and extralymphatic traceruptake an intra-individual relative count-rate ratio of the liver, lung, kidneys, and spleen has been calculated following organ extraction. Results: Organ specific differences of distribution were clearly demonstrated. Our results indicate that the kinetics of lymphoscintigraphic 99mTc-bound agents substantially depends on particle size. Reliable transport from the interstitium to initial lymph vessels and lymph node uptake suggested for tracers suited for lymphoscintigraphy a median size of about <100 nm. Conclusion: Our data could improve standardization of diagnostic methods and lead to an objective consideration of therapeutic procedures.

Abstract
The article presents the results of fluorescence analyses of 2-methylamino-5-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (MDFT) in an aqueous environment. MDFT dissolved in aqueous solutions with a pH value in the range from 1 to 4.5 yielded an interesting effect of two clearly separated fluorescence emissions. In turn, a single fluorescence was observed in MDFT dissolved in water solutions with a pH value from 4.5 to 12. As it was suggested in the previous investigations of other 1,3,4-thiadiazole compounds, these effects may be associated with conformational changes in the structure of the analysed molecule accompanied by aggregation effects. Crystallographic data showed that the effect of the two separated fluorescence emissions occurred in a conformation with the –OH group in the resorcyl ring bound on the side of the sulphur atom from the 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring. The hypothesis of aggregation as the mechanism involved in the change in the spectral properties at low pH is supported by the results of (Time-Dependent) Density Functional Theory calculations. The possibility of rapid analysis of conformational changes with the fluorescence spectroscopy technique may be rather important outcome obtained from the spectroscopic studies presented in this article. Additionally, the presented results seem to be highly important as they can be easily observed in solutions and biologically important samples.

Abstract
The performance of exchange-correlation (xc) functionals for the description of electron affinities of atomic and molecular systems is investigated. A benchmark set is constructed and experimental adiabatic electron affinities are compared to Density Functional Theory (DFT) predictions. The results show that although good overall accuracy may be achieved from DFT-based approaches, there still exist outliers for any of the approximations applied. Apart from employing the standard DFT models, the possibility of the optimization of range-separated xc functionals has also been tested, however, no large improvement in accuracy is observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the reliability of tumor margin assessment in specimen radiography (SR) using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in comparison to postoperative histopathology margin status as the gold standard. METHODS After ethics committee approval, 102 consecutive patients who underwent breast conservative surgery for nonpalpable proven breast cancer were prospectively included. All patients underwent ultrasound/mammography-guided wire localization of their lesions. After excision, each specimen was marked for orientation and imaged using FFDM and DBT. Two blinded radiologists (R1, R2) independently analyzed images acquired with both modalities. Readers identified in which direction the lesion was closest to the specimen margin and to measure the margin width. Their findings were compared with the final histopathological analysis. True positive margin status was defined as a margin measuring <1mm for invasive cancer and 5mm for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) at imaging and pathology. RESULTS For FFDM, correct margin direction was identified in 45 cases (44%) by R1 and in 37 cases (36%) by R2. For DBT, 69 cases (68%) were correctly identified by R1 and 70 cases (69%) by R2. Overall accuracy was 40% for FFDM and 69% for DBT; the difference was statistically significant (p<0.0001). Sensitivity in terms of correct assessment of margin status was significantly better for DBT than FFDM (77% versus 62%). CONCLUSION SR using DBT is significantly superior to FFDM regarding identification of the closest margin and sensitivity in assessment of margin status.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of thromboembolic complications. One of the markers of the increased risk of hypercoagulable state is platelet hyperreactivity. The aim of the study was to assess impact of arrhythmia on platelet reactivity. METHODS The study included 36 (mean age 48,3; range 21-60) male patients with lone atrial fibrillation, with exclusion of concomitant diseases known to trigger hypercoagulable state. The AF patients underwent cardioversion to restore sinus rhythm and were subsequently under observation for 1month. Echocardiography, ECG and blood collection was performed before cardioversion (T0) and 4weeks after successful cardioversion (T1). During the study period patients have been contacted and examined every week and 24h ECG monitoring was performed. Platelet reactivity was assessed based on changes of CD62 and CD42b expression on platelet surface after stimulation with thrombin. Also changes in MPV were assessed. RESULTS In all patients sinus rhythm was maintained at the end of the study period, however in 14 patients recurrences of AF were observed, confirmed by 24h ECG monitoring (atrial fibrillation recurrence group - AFR) and 22 patients maintained sinus rhythm throughout the whole study period (SR group). Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD62 on thrombin stimulated platelets decreased significantly 4weeks after electrical cardioversion as compared to T0 (48.04±22.42 vs 41.47±16.03; p<0.01). Also MFI of CD42b on thrombin stimulated platelets decreased significantly 4weeks after electrical cardioversion as compared to T0 (22.16±10.82 vs 12.06±5.99; p<0.0001). Platelets reactivity estimated by CD 62 expression in SR group decreased significantly after 4weeks observation (58.01±15.26 vs 46.57±13.44; p<0.001) opposite to AFR group 35.66±21.87 vs 34.54±16.4; p-ns). Moreover there were significant differences between basal reactivity during AF between SR and AFR groups (58.01±15.26 vs 35.66±21.87; p-0.01). MFI of CD42b on thrombin stimulated platelets decreased significantly both in AFR and SR groups (22.05±11.36 vs 13.8±6.03; p<0.001 and 21.87±14.18 vs 10.04±5.09; p<0005). MPV decreased significantly 4weeks after electrical cardioversion as compared to T0 (8.81±0.19 vs 8.42±0.14; p<0.0001). CONCLUSION The changes of platelet reactivity to thrombin observed after restoration of sinus rhythm in patients prove that arrhythmia intrinsically leads to increased reactivity of platelets.

Abstract
The performance of exchange-correlation functionals for the
description of atomic excitations is investigated. A benchmark set of
excited states is constructed and experimental data is compared to
Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) calculations. The
benchmark results show that for the selected group of functionals good
accuracy may be achieved and the quality of predictions provided is
competitive to computationally more demanding coupled-cluster
approaches. Apart from testing the standard TDDFT approaches, also
the role of self-interaction error plaguing DFT calculations and the
adiabatic approximation to the exchange-correlation kernels is given
some insight.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to check, in clinical practice, the potential for the dose reduction of lead eyewear and a ceiling-suspended shield used to protect the eye lens of physicians working in interventional cardiology. To this end, for the lead eyewear, the dose reduction factors were derived to correct the readings from a dosimeter used routinely outside the glasses. Four types of lead eyewear with attached loose thermoluminescent dosimeters and EYE-D dosimeters were worn by physicians in two clinical centres, for two-month periods, during coronary angiography (CA), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and pacemaker procedures. In order to analyse, separately, how a ceiling-suspended lead screen absorbs the scattered radiation, a series of measurements was carried out during single CA/PCI procedures performed with and without the protection. The lead eyewear may reduce the doses to the eye closest to the x-ray tube by a factor between 1.1 and 3.4, depending on its model and the physician's position. The effectiveness of the eyewear may, however, vary-even for the same model and physician-almost twofold between different working periods. The ceiling-suspended shield decreases the doses in clinical practice by a factor of 2.3. The annual eye lens doses without the eyewear estimated from routine measurements are high-above or close to the new eye lens dose limit established by the recent EU Basic Safety Standards, even though the ceiling-suspended shield was used. Therefore, to comply with the new dose limit that is set in the Directive, protection of the eyes of physicians with high workloads might require the use of both the eyewear and the ceiling-suspended shield.

Abstract
Pre-exposure to the perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) perfluorooctano sulphonate (PFOS) or perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) on the toxicity of four herbicides of different types and modes of action towards the self-luminescent recombinant cyanobacterium Anabaena CPB4337 was evaluated. The rationale of the approach is that both PFOS and PFOA as surfactants are known to modify cell membrane properties and pre-exposure to them might alter herbicide toxicity towards the cyanobacterium. Anabaena CPB4337 was pre-exposed during 72h to PFOS or PFOA at a concentration below their no observed effect concentration (NOEC). After pre-exposure, cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of 2,4-D Atrazine, Diuron and Paraquat and the toxicity was compared to that of non-pre-exposed ones. The data clearly showed that PFCs pre-treatment significantly altered the toxicity of the tested herbicides. However the effects resulting from PFOA and PFOS pre-exposure were not homogeneous for all the herbicides. In general PFOA pre-exposure resulted in increased herbicide toxicity except for atrazine, while PFOS pre-exposure resulted in increased toxicity for paraquat and diuron, and reduced toxicity for atrazine with no significant effect on 2,4-D toxicity. The strongest modifying effect was found for paraquat whose toxicity doubled with PFOA pre-exposure. Further analysis of membrane properties by flow cytometry revealed that both PFOA and PFOS were able to modify membrane integrity and membrane potential of Anabaena CPB4337 at the concentrations used in the pre-exposure experiments. These results reveal relevant indirect effects of PFCs pollution with eco-toxicological implications.
