Coded excitation of ultrasonic guided waves in long bone fracture assessment.

Zhang H1, Wu S2, Ta D3, Xu K1, Wang W1.Author information 1Department of Electronic Engineering, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China.2College of Physics & Information Technology, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi'an 710062, China. Electronic address: wushju@snnu.edu.cn.3Department of Electronic Engineering, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China. Electronic address: tda@fudan.edu.cn.AbstractUltrasonic guided wave (GW) assessment of long bone fracture have conventionally been based on pulse excitation. However, the high attenuation during propagation diminishes the amplitude of received GWs and results in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The Barker code (BC) excitation and the optimal binary code (OBC) excitation were utilized in this study to overcome this limitation. Both simulations and in vitro experiments were performed on the fractured cortical bone plate model, and measured signals from both the BC and OBC excitations were decoded using the finite impulse response least squares inverse filter (FIR-LSIF) and then compared with sine pulse (SP) excited signals. The results suggest the efficiency of coded excitation for amplitude and SNR improvement. Furthermore, time-frequency representation (TFR) analysis was applied to experimental signals; with increasing fracture depth, energy transformation between predominate GW modes A1 and S2 was confirmed. These results show the potential of using BC and OBC excitations to evaluate the depth of long bone fracture.

Electronic address: cancro@mail.med.upenn.edu.AbstractWe examined whether age alters the emergence of high-affinity germinal center B (GCB) cells and switched memory B cells (swBmem) during a primary immune response to a thymus-dependent antigen, using a novel flow cytometric assay to distinguish relative BCR affinity. In young mice, high-affinity B cells predominate in the GCB pool and comprise a smaller proportion of the nascent swBmem pool two weeks after immunization. In aged mice, we observe significant reductions of high-affinity clones among GCB cells, but not nascent swBmem cells. The defect in GC affinity maturation was not overcome by providing excess carrier-specific T cells from young mice, as these cells still displayed compromised effector TFH differentiation in the aged animals. Our results suggest that B cells in aged animals have a reduced ability to prompt effector TFH differentiation, leading to a compromised GC response that results in reduced generation of high-affinity GCB and plasma cells; despite normal production of early swBmem cells.

[Resistance to first-line drugs and major genotypic lineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the 3 french department of the americas: Profiles, evolution, and trends (1995-2011)].

Millet J1, Berchel M, Prudenté F, Streit E, Bomer AG, Schuster F, Vanhomwegen J, Paasch D, Galbert I, Valery E, Aga R, Rastogi N.Author information 1WHO Supranational TB Reference Laboratory, unité de la tuberculose et des mycobactéries, institut Pasteur de Guadeloupe, Morne Jolivière, BP 484, F-97183, Abymes Cedex, Guadeloupe.AbstractThis is the first overview on resistant and multidrug resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis circulating in the French Department of the Americas (Guadeloupe, Martinique, and French Guiana) over 17 years (January 1995-December 2011). A total of 1,239 cases were studied: 1,199 new cases (primary and multidrug resistance of 11.8 and 1.6% respectively), and 40 persistent (defined as cases with a previous history of positive culture over 6 months interval and whose spoligotypes remain unchanged), in which significantly higher proportions of resistance to at least isoniazid (22.5%, P = 0.002), rifampicin (20.0%, P < 0.001), and multidrug resistance (17.5%, P < 0.001) were observed as compared to new cases. The 281 spoligotypes obtained showed the presence of five major lineages, T (29.9%), LAM (23.9%), Haarlem (22.1%), EAI (7.1%), and X (6.7%). Two of these lineages, X and LAM, predominate among resistant and multidrug resistant isolates respectively (X: 10.5% of resistant isolates, P = 0.04; LAM: 42.3% of multidrug resistant isolates, P = 0.02). Four of the 19 major spoligo-profiles, corresponding to SIT 20, 64, 45, and 46, were significantly associated with drug resistance. Among them, genotype SIT 20, associated with monoresistance to isoniazid and multidrug resistance, would be actively and persistently in circulation, since 1999, in French Guiana, department in which one may also observe the presence of strains of M. tuberculosis phylogeographically associated to Guiana and Suriname (SIT 131 and SIT 1340).

Correlations between colonic crypt mucin chemotype, inflammatory grade and Desulfovibrio species in ulcerative colitis.

Lennon G1, Balfe A, Bambury N, Lavelle A, Maguire A, Docherty NG, Coffey JC, Winter DC, Sheahan K, O'Connell PR.Author information 1School of Medicine and Medical Sciences, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland; Centre for Colorectal Disease, St Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.AbstractAIM: The colonic mucus gel layer is composed of mucins that may be sulphated or sialyated. Sulphated mucins predominate in health while in ulcerative colitis (UC) sulphation is reduced. These differences result directly from inflammatory events. It may also be hypothesized that they arise in part from alterations in the colonic microbiota, particularly changes in the burden of sulphated mucin-metabolizing species, such as Desulfovibrio (DSV) bacteria. The aim of this study was to correlate colonic mucin chemotypes and inflammatory scores in health and UC and relate these changes to changes in the colonization of colonic crypts by DSV.
