Reduced Circulating Regulatory T Cells in Autoimmune and Chronic Idiopathic Neutropenia of Childhood: An Observational Study of Clinical and Laboratory Associations

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate circulating regulatory T cells (Tregs) in children with autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) and chronic idiopathic neutropenia (CIN) and evaluate their associations with clinical and laboratory features of neutropenia. Methods Plasma and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) were collected from 69 participants.

1H NMR metabolomics and lipidomics analysis of neutrophils reveals biomarkers of ageing, inflammageing and frailty

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using 1H NMR metabolomics, we measured polar and lipid metabolites from human blood neutrophils from people with frailty (n = 31, mean age 84Y), people with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 16, mean age 55Y), robust older (n = 24, mean age 66Y) and healthy younger people (n = 21, mean age 22Y).

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Four Haylages, One Metabonome: Defining Diet Driven Metabolic Shifts in Ponies

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haylage is widely fed to all categories of stabled horses across Europe and New Zealand. Haylage can vary from high energy nutrient dense forage to low energy highly fibrous fodder, yet little is known about the impact different haylages have on metabolism in horses.

Research on Intelligent Defrost Control Based on Parallel Plate Capacitor Principle

Zhileng xuebao
Addressing the issue of “erroneous defrosting” in the defrosting condition of the evaporator, a novel intelligent defrosting control strategy based on the principle of parallel-plate capacitor is proposed, a mathematical model of parallel-plate capacitor

Evaluation of a Commercially Available Canine C‐Reactive Protein Assay Across Institutions and After 2 Years of Frozen Storage

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background C‐reactive protein (CRP) is a biomarker of systemic inflammation in dogs. There is limited data on inter‐laboratory comparability of the results or the effects of long‐term storage. Objectives (1) Compare CRP measurements across three institutions utilizing the same assay.

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Defrosting Evolution Behavior and Drainage Characteristic on Superhydrophobic Surface

Zhileng xuebao, 2020
After traditional thermal defrosting, a great number of water droplets still retain on the surface, which can become the base of secondary frosting and accelerate secondary frosting. Therefore, duly removing retained droplets after defrosting is of great
