Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by accumulation of free cholesterol in late endosomes/lysosomes. The pathological basis for the disease is poorly understood. In the present study, electrophysiological and fluorescent dye studies were applied to examine neuron-specific functions of Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) and to determine whether excitatory and inhibitory synapses are differentially impaired by NPC1 deficiency. Densities of spines and postsynaptic receptor clusters were not affected by NPC1 deficiency over the period examined. However, drastic defects on exocytosis were found both in glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses. The defects were caused in part by a delay in the time required for replacement of excytosed vesicles with new fusion-competent ones. Moreover, we found that the delay of synaptic vesicle turnover was longer in inhibitory synapses (>3 s) than in excitatory synapses (<0.2 s). These defects may be early indicators, and could provide a potential explanation for key features of the disease, such as dystonia and seizures.

Abstract
We report a case of rifampicin (RMP) dependent/enhanced multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB) from a patient who had been treated with the World Health Organization optional thrice-weekly treatment and document the clinical and bacteriological features. RMP-enhanced tubercle bacilli that grew poorly without RMP but grew better in its presence were isolated from the patient with treatment failure. The bacteria grown without RMP consisted of mixed morphologies of short rod-shaped acid-fast bacteria and poorly stained coccoid bacteria, but stained normally as acid-fast rods when grown in the presence of RMP. The isolated RMP-enhanced bacteria harbored the common S531L mutation and a novel mutation F584S in the rpoB gene. Treatment containing RMP or replacement of RMP with more powerful rifapentine paradoxically aggravated the disease, but its removal led to successful cure of the patient. This study highlights the potential dangers of continued treatment of MDR-TB with rifamycins that can occur due to delayed or absent drug susceptibility results and calls for timely detection of RMP-dependent/-enhanced bacteria in treatment failure patients by including RMP in culture media and removal of RMP from treatment regimen upon detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND If methods of differentiating stem cells into thyrocytes can be perfected, they may provide a ready source of normal thyrocytes for basic research and clinical application. We developed a novel culture method capable of differentiating mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells into thyroid follicular cells. METHODS E14 mouse ES cells were allowed to differentiate into embryoid bodies and then stimulated with thyroid-stimulating hormone, insulin, and potassium iodide. The resulting differentiated cells were observed for expression of thyrocyte-specific mRNA transcripts with reverse transcriptase (RT)-polymerase chain reaction. To definitively identify thyrocytes, we simultaneously observed the thyrocyte-specific proteins, thyroid transcription factor-1 and PAX-8, with dual-color immunofluorescent labeling. The cells were further characterized by electron microscopy. RESULTS The ES cells were successfully differentiated into thyrocytes. Differentiated cells expressed PAX-8, thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor, sodium/iodide symporter, thyroperoxidase, and thyroglobulin mRNAs, and coexpressed thyroid transcription factor-1 and PAX-8 proteins. The extent of differentiation was further explored by electron microscopy, which showed that differentiated cells had ultrastructural features similar to adult human thyrocytes, whereas the cells from unstimulated cultures were mostly disintegrated and lacked developed organelle structures. CONCLUSIONS These data show that E14 mouse ES cells can be differentiated into thyrocytes by culturing with thyroid-stimulating hormone, insulin, and potassium iodide. The development of reliable methods to produce thyroid cells from ES cells is important to future research in thyroid biology and medical applications.

Abstract
Heat conduction mechanisms in nanofluids, fluids seeded with nanoparticles, have been extensively scrutinized in the past decades to explain some experimental observations of their enhanced thermal conductivity beyond the effective medium theory. Although many mechanisms such as Brownian motion, clustering, ballistic transport, and internanoparticle potential are speculated, experimental proof of any of the mechanisms has been difficult. Here, we investigate the mechanisms experimentally by thermal conductivity measurements and structural analysis for the same materials in both liquid and solid states. These studies strongly suggest that clustering holds the key to the thermal conductivity enhancement of nanofluids.

Abstract
In a rat renal allograft model, the long-term effect of conversion from cyclosporin A (CsA) to sirolimus on recipient kidneys and growth factor expression were compared with continuous use or withdrawal of CsA. Kidneys from Fisher 344 rats were orthotopically transplanted into Lewis rats. Four Fisher 344 to Lewis allograft groups were treated post-transplant as follows: (i) CsA (transplant to week 8) then sirolimus (weeks 8 - 24); (ii) CsA (transplant to week 24); (iii) CsA (transplant to week 8) then vehicle (weeks 8 - 24); (iv) control vehicle (transplant to week 24). A fifth group underwent syngeneic isograft (Lewis to Lewis) with no drug treatment. Proteinuria was measured every 4 weeks and grafts harvested at 24 weeks for morphological and immunohistochemical analysis. Conversion from CsA to sirolimus resulted in a significant decrease in proteinuria at 24 weeks, a lower Banff sum score and lower expression of transforming growth factor mRNA compared with continuous use or withdrawal of CsA. In conclusion, conversion from CsA to sirolimus retarded progression of chronic allograft nephropathy in the rat model.

Abstract
Generation of subject-specific finite element (FE) models from computed tomography (CT) datasets is of significance for application of the FE analysis to bone structures. A great challenge that remains is the automatic assignment of bone material properties from CT Hounsfield Units into finite element models. This paper proposes a new assignment approach, in which material properties are directly assigned to each integration point. Instead of modifying the dataset of FE models, the proposed approach divides the assignment procedure into two steps: generating the data file of the image intensity of a bone in a MATLAB program and reading the file into ABAQUS via user subroutines. Its accuracy has been validated by assigning the density of a bone phantom into a FE model. The proposed approach has been applied to the FE model of a sheep tibia and its applicability tested on a variety of element types. The proposed assignment approach is simple and illustrative. It can be easily modified to fit users' situations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated changes in complement in discordant heart xenotransplantation using a pig-to-monkey model as well as the impact of intrathymic inoculation (IT) with xenogeneic antigen combined with whole-body gamma-radiation (WBI). METHODS In this experiment, pigs and monkeys selected as donors and recipients, respectively, were randomly divided into three groups: a blank group (group A), a whole-body irradiation group (group B) and an irradiation plus intrathymic injection group (group C). In every group, monkeys underwent heterotopic heart xenotransplantation. RESULTS The results showed that the survival of donor hearts in group C was significantly longer than that of group A (P < .01). In mixed lymphocyte reactions, there was a significant reduction of the stimulation index in group C compared with group A. After xenotransplantation, the level of xenoreactive antibody in group C rose slower than that in group A or group B (P < .01). After rejection, the levels of CD46 and C3 declined greatly. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that pretreatment with IT and WBI induced T-cell immunosuppression, restraining elicited xenoreactive antibody production of both immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G classes. However, it did not hinder complement activation via the classical pathway during hyperacute rejection and consequent xenograft rejection.

Abstract
This paper investigated the biomechanics of two clinical cases of bone fracture treatments. Both fractures were treated with the same locking compression plate but with different numbers of screws as well as different plate materials. The fracture treated with 12 screws (rigid fixation) failed at 7 weeks with the plate breaking; the fracture with six screws (flexible fixation) endured the entire healing process. It was hypothesized that the plate failure in the unsuccessful case was due to the material fatigue induced by stress concentration in the plate. As the two clinical cases had different fracture locations and different plate materials, finite element simulations were undertaken for each fractured bone fixed by both a rigid and a flexible method. This enabled comparisons to be made between the rigid and flexible fixation methods. The fatigue life was assessed for each fixation method. The results showed that the stress in the rigid fixation methods could be significantly higher than that in flexible fixation methods. The fatigue analyses showed that, with the stress level in flexible fixation (i.e. with fewer screws), the plate was able to endure 2000 days, and that the plate in rigid fixation could fail by fatigue fracture in 20 days. The paper concludes that the rigid fixation method resulted in serious stress concentrations in the plate, which induced fatigue failure. The flexible fixation gave sufficient stability and was better for fracture healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is involved in oesophageal carcinogenesis, but the clinical and prognostic significance of COX-2 expression in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains controversial. AIM To evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic role of COX-2 expression in ESCC. METHODS Studies assessing clinical or prognostic significance of COX-2 expression in ESCC published until December 2008 were selected. A meta-analysis was performed to clarify the impact of COX-2 expression on clinicopathological parameters or overall survival (OS) in ESCC. RESULTS A total of 19 studies met the inclusion criteria, among which 17 studies were about the clinicopathological significance of COX-2 expression in ESCC, 12 studies were dealing with prognostic role of COX-2 expression in ESCC and 10 studies evaluated both of them. Overexpression of COX-2 was significantly correlated with not only the depth of invasion and TNM stage, with a combined odds ratio (OR) of 0.55 (95%CI: 0.34-0.90, Z = 2.41, P = 0.02) and 0.55 (95%CI: 0.32-0.95, Z = 2.13, P = 0.03) respectively but also the reduced OS with relative risk (RR) 1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.90, Z = 2.43, P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS COX-2 might play an important role in the progress of ESCC, overexpression of COX-2 correlates with not only the depth of invasion and TNM stage but also the reduced OS. COX-2 might be a potential therapy target for ESCC and work as a prognostic factor for ESCC patients, yet the clinicopathological and prognostic role of COX-2 in ESCC still needs further confirmation by well-designed prospective studies.

Abstract
The maximum efficiency of a thermoelectric generator is determined by the material's dimensionless figure of merit ZT. Real thermoelectric material properties are highly temperature dependent and are often measured individually using multiple measurement tools on different samples. As a result, reported ZT values have large uncertainties. In this work we present an experimental technique that eliminates some of these uncertainties. We measure the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of a single element or leg, as well as the conversion efficiency, under a large temperature difference of 2-160 degrees C. The advantages of this technique include (1) the thermoelectric leg is mounted only once and all measurements are in the same direction and (2) the measured properties are corroborated by efficiency measurements. The directly measured power and efficiency are compared to the values calculated from the measured properties and agree within 0.4% and 2%, respectively. The realistic testing conditions of this technique make it ideal for material characterization prior to implementation in a real thermoelectric generator.

Abstract
The healing process for bone fractures is sensitive to mechanical stability and blood supply at the fracture site. Most currently available mechanobiological algorithms of bone healing are based solely on mechanical stimuli, while the explicit analysis of revascularization and its influences on the healing process have not been thoroughly investigated in the literature. In this paper, revascularization was described by two separate processes: angiogenesis and nutrition supply. The mathematical models for angiogenesis and nutrition supply have been proposed and integrated into an existing fuzzy algorithm of fracture healing. The computational algorithm of fracture healing, consisting of stress analysis, analyses of angiogenesis and nutrient supply, and tissue differentiation, has been tested on and compared with animal experimental results published previously. The simulation results showed that, for a small and medium-sized fracture gap, the nutrient supply is sufficient for bone healing, for a large fracture gap, non-union may be induced either by deficient nutrient supply or inadequate mechanical conditions. The comparisons with experimental results demonstrated that the improved computational algorithm is able to simulate a broad spectrum of fracture healing cases and to predict and explain delayed unions and non-union induced by large gap sizes and different mechanical conditions. The new algorithm will allow the simulation of more realistic clinical fracture healing cases with various fracture gaps and geometries and may be helpful to optimise implants and methods for fracture fixation.
