The fabrication of a large-scale microfluidic mold with 3D microstructures for manufacturing of the conical microwell chip using a combined projection micro-stereolithography (PµSL) 3D printing/CNC micro-milling method for tumor spheroid formation is presented. The PµSL technique is known as the most promising method of manufacturing microfluidic chips due to the possibility of creating complex three-dimensional microstructures with high resolution in the range of several micrometers. The purpose of applying the proposed method is to investigate the influence of microwell depths on the formation of tumor spheroids. In the conventional methods, the construction of three-dimensional microstructures and multi-height chips is difficult, time-consuming, and is performed using a multi-step lithography process. Microwell depth is an essential parameter for microwell design since it directly affects the shear stress of the fluid flow and the diffusion of nutrients, respiratory gases, and growth factors. In this study, a chip was made with microwells of different depth varying from 100 to 500 µm. The mold of the microwell section is printed by the lab-made PµSL printer with 6 and 1 µm lateral and vertical resolutions. Other parts of the mold, such as the main chamber and micro-channels, were manufactured using the CNC micro-milling method. Finally, different parts of the master mold were assembled and used for PDMS casting. CAL-101 The proposed technique drastically simplifies the fabrication and rapid prototyping of large-scale microfluidic devices with high-resolution microstructures by combining 3D printing with the CNC micro-milling method.The immune system of sturgeons, one of the most ancient and economically valuable fish worldwide, is poorly understood. The lack of molecular tools and data about infection biomarkers hinders the possibility to monitor sturgeon health during farming and detect infection outbreaks. To tackle this issue, we mined publicly available transcriptomic datasets and identified putative positive acute-phase proteins (APPs) of Russian sturgeons that could be induced by a bacterial infection and monitored using non-invasive methods. Teleost literature compelled us to focus on five promising candidates hepcidin, a warm acclimation associated hemopexin, intelectin, serum amyloid A protein (SAA) and serotransferrin. Among them, SAA was the most upregulated protein at the mRNA level in the liver of sturgeons challenged with heat-inactivated or live Aeromonas hydrophila. To assess whether this upregulation yielded increasing SAA levels in circulation, we developed an in-house ELISA to quantify SAA levels in sturgeon serum. Circulating SAA rose upon bacterial challenge and positively correlated with hepatic saa expression. This is the first time serum SAA has been quantified in an Actinopterygii fish. Since APPs vary across different fish species, our work sheds light on sturgeon acute-phase response, revealing that SAA is a positive APP with potential value as infection biomarker.Establishing correspondence between objects is fundamental for object constancy, similarity perception and identifying transformations. Previous studies measured point-to-point correspondence between objects before and after rigid and non-rigid shape transformations. However, we can also identify 'similar parts' on extremely different objects, such as butterflies and owls or lizards and whales. We measured point-to-point correspondence between such object pairs. In each trial, a dot was placed on the contour of one object, and participants had to place a dot on 'the corresponding location' of the other object. Responses show correspondence is established based on similarities between semantic parts (such as head, wings, or legs). We then measured correspondence between ambiguous objects with different labels (e.g., between 'duck' and 'rabbit' interpretations of the classic ambiguous figure). Despite identical geometries, correspondences were different across the interpretations, based on semantics (e.g., matching 'Head' to 'Head', 'Tail' to 'Tail'). We present a zero-parameter model based on labeled semantic part data (obtained from a different group of participants) that well explains our data and outperforms an alternative model based on contour curvature. This demonstrates how we establish correspondence between very different objects by evaluating similarity between semantic parts, combining perceptual organization and cognitive processes.The aim of this paper is to propose a new non-invasive methodology to estimate thermogenesis in newborns with perinatal asphyxia (PA) undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Metabolic heat production (with respect to either a neonate's body mass or its body surface) is calculated from the newborn's heat balance, estimating all remaining terms of this heat balance utilising results of only non-invasive thermal measurements. The measurement devices work with standard equipment used for therapeutic hypothermia and are equipped with the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), which allows one to record and monitor the course of the therapy remotely (using an internet browser) without disturbing the medical personnel. This methodology allows one to estimate thermogenesis in newborns with perinatal asphyxia undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. It also offers information about instantaneous values of the rate of cooling together with values of remaining rates of heat transfer. It also shows the trend of any changes, which are recorded during treatment. Having information about all components of the heat balance one is able to facilitate comparison of results obtained for different patients, in whom these components may differ. The proposed method can be a new tool for measuring heat balance with the possibility of offering better predictions regarding short-term neurologic outcomes and tailored management in newborns treated by TH.The number of very old individuals, namely centenarians, is growing fast. In dentistry, the increasing number of older adults retaining natural teeth present new challenges for preventive and restorative dental care. However, there is a considerable lack of knowledge on the oral health status and needs in this exceptional age group. The aim of this population-based study was to identify the prevalence of oral diseases, therapeutic needs and functional capacity (evaluating centenarians' autonomy and their capabilities regarding treatment and oral hygiene) in centenarians. Subjects born before 1920 were recruited from population registries in South-Western Germany, providing information on dental health experiences, oral health behaviors and undergoing dental examination. 55 centenarians participated in the study (mean age ± SD = 101.2 ± 1.6, 83.6% females). Results were compared to epidemiological data on adults aged 75-100 years examined in the Fifth German Oral Health Study. Adherence to recommended dental behaviors and dental check-ups was lower in the centenarian population.
