Abstract:
ZusammenfassungIn der Therapie der pulmonalarteriellen Hypertonie (PAH) kommen zahlreiche Medikamentenklassen zum Einsatz, u. a. Endothelinrezeptorantagonisten (ERA) und Phosphodiesterase-5-(PDE-5-)Inhibitoren. In einem humanen Ex-vivo-Modell sollte überprüft werden, ob durch die Kombination zweier Substanzklassen ein höherer Effekt erzielt werden kann oder – bei gleichem Effekt – eine niedrigere Dosierung der Einzelsubstanzen ausreicht. Wir etablierten ein Organbadmodell, welches uns die In-vitro-Untersuchung der dosisabhängigen Effekte von ERA und PDE-5-Inhibitoren auf die durch Norepinephrin und Endothelin-1 induzierte Kontraktilität humaner Pulmonalgefäße sowie den Vergleich von Mono- und Dualtherapie ermöglichte. Auch wenn die Übertragung der Ex-vivo-Daten auf die Situation im Patienten mit Vorsicht erfolgen muss, so hat sich das Organbad dennoch als hilfreiches Instrument zur Evaluation der dosisabhängigen Effekte von ERA, PDE-5-Inhibitoren und deren Kombination erwiesen. Die Wirksamkeit der Kombinationstherapie und das Potenzial zur Dosisreduktion waren in diesem Modell abhängig von den verwendeten Konzentrationen und vom Einfluss der Vorerkrankungen auf die Blutgefäßfunktion. Diese Arbeit beschreibt die bisherigen und wichtigsten Ergebnisse unserer experimentellen Untersuchungen und gibt einen Ausblick auf zukünftige Projekte.

Abstract:
La fibrosi cistica (FC) è una malattia autosomica recessiva causata da mutazioni nel gene CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator). Finora sono state descritte circa 2000 mutazioni, ma per la maggior parte di esse è difficile definirne l’effetto senza complesse procedure in vitro. Abbiamo effettuato il campionamento (mediante brushing), la cultura e l’analisi di cellule epiteliali nasali umane (HNEC) utilizzando una serie di tecniche che possono aiutare a testare l’effetto delle mutazioni CFTR. Abbiamo eseguito 50 brushing da pazienti FC e controlli, e in 45 casi si è ottenuta una coltura positiva. Utilizzando cellule in coltura: i) abbiamo dimostrato l’espressione ampiamente eterogenea del CFTR nei pazienti e nei controlli; ii) abbiamo definito l’effetto di splicing di una mutazione sul gene CFTR; iii) abbiamo valutato l’attività di gating di CFTR in pazienti portatori di differenti mutazioni; iv) abbiamo dimostrato che il butirrato migliora in modo significativo l’espressione di CFTR. I dati provenienti dal nostro studio sperimentale dimostrano che l’uso del modello ex-vivo di cellule epiteliali nasali è un importante e valido strumento di ricerca e di diagnosi nella studio della FC e può anche essere mirato alla sperimentazione ed alla verifica di nuovi farmaci. In definitiva, in base ai nostri dati è possibile esprimere le seguenti conclusioni: 1) il prelievo delle cellule epiteliali nasali mediante brushing è applicabile senza alcuna anestesia ed è ben tollerato da tutti i pazienti affetti da FC (bambini e adulti), è scarsamente invasivo e facilmente ripetibile, è anche in grado di ottenere una sufficiente quantità di HNECs rappresentative, ben conservate, idonee allo studio della funzionalità di CFTR; 2) la conservazione delle cellule prelevate è possibile fino a 48 ore prima che si provveda all’allestimento della coltura e ciò permette di avviare studi multicentrici con prelievi in ogni sede e quindi di ottenere una ampia numerosità campionaria; 3) la coltura di cellule epiteliali nasali può essere considerata un modello adatto a studiare l’effetto molecolare di nuove mutazioni del gene CFTR e/o mutazioni specifiche di pazienti “carriers” dal significato incerto; 4) il modello ex-vivo delle HNECs consente inoltre di valutare, prima dell’impiego nell’uomo, l’effetto di farmaci (potenziatori e/o correttori) sulle cellule di pazienti portatori di mutazioni specifiche di CFTR; tali farmaci possono modulare l’espressione genica del canale CFTR aprendo così nuove frontiere terapeutiche e migliori prospettive di vita per pazienti affetti da una patologia cronica come la Fibrosi Cistica; 5) la metodologia da noi istituita risulta essere idonea alla misura quantitativa, mediante fluorescenza, dell’attività di gating del canale CFTR presente nelle membrane delle cellule epiteliali nasali prelevate da pazienti portatori di differenti genotipi; in tal modo è possibile individuare: a) pazienti FC portatori di 2 mutazioni gravi con un’attività < 10% (in rapporto ai controlli -100%), b) soggetti FC portatori contemporaneamente di una mutazione grave e di una lieve con un’attività tra 10-30%, c) i cosiddetti portatori “carriers”- eterozigoti - con un’attività tra 40-70%. In conclusione la possibilità di misurare l’attività del canale CFTR in HNECs fornisce un importante contributo alla diagnosi di FC, mediante individuazione di un “cut-off diagnostico”, ed anche alla previsione della gravità fenotipica della malattia; quindi quanto rilevabile dalla misura del suddetto canale permette di prospettare per il futuro la possibilità di valutare meglio i pazienti per i quali il test del sudore ha dato risultati ambigui (borderline o negativi). La metodica da noi sperimentata consente anche di monitorare i pazienti durante il trattamento farmacologico, valutando in tal modo i reali effetti delle nuove terapie.

Abstract:
AbstractThe present study investigates the layer-specific mechanical behavior of human skin. Motivated by skin’s histology, a biphasic model is proposed which differentiates between epidermis, papillary and reticular dermis, and hypodermis. Inverse analysis of ex vivo tensile and in vivo suction experiments yields mechanical parameters for each layer and predicts a stiff reticular dermis and successively softer papillary dermis, epidermis and hypodermis. Layer-specific analysis of simulations underlines the dominating role of the reticular dermis in tensile loading. Furthermore, it shows that the observed out-of-plane deflection in ex vivo tensile tests is a direct consequence of the layered structure of skin. In in vivo suction experiments, the softer upper layers strongly influence the mechanical response, whose dissipative part is determined by interstitial fluid redistribution within the tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging-based visualization of skin deformation in suction experiments confirms the deformation pattern predicted by the multilayer model, showing a consistent decrease in dermal thickness for large probe opening diameters.

Abstract:
Zusammenfassung Hintergründe In der Frühdiagnostik des klinischen Glaukoms sind peripapilläre Blutungen fast pathognomonisch für eine Schädigung von Kapillaren. Auch in der Perfusionsdiagnostik herrscht überwiegend die Meinung, dass Perfusionsstörungen und Gefäßveränderungen vorliegen, die im Circulus vitiosus der IOD-Erhöhung (IOD: Intraokulardruck) eine wesentliche Rolle spielen. Damit sind wahrscheinlich die biomechanischen Besonderheiten der Papille sowie die zellulären Reaktionen von Astrozyten, Müller-Zellen, Endothelzellen, Mikroglialzellen und Perizyten assoziiert. Material und Methoden Wir stellen In-vivo- und Ex-vivo-Modelle für IOD-Erhöhungen vor, um die Auflösung unserer Betrachtungsweise bis hin zur zellulären und gar molekularen Reaktion zu erhöhen und Mechanismen der Kapillarzellveränderungen als Folge von IOD-Erhöhung zu verifizieren. Ergebnisse Als Tiermodell diente die kauterisationsbedingte Erhöhung des IOD im Rattenauge. Es wurden 2–3 Episkleralvenen kauterisiert, um den Abflusswiderstand zu erhöhen. Nach Analyse der Netzhäute einige Wochen danach fanden wir eine anormale Expression des ansonsten neuronalspezifischen Moleküls Beta-III-Tubulin in den Kapillarendothelzellen und in den Gefäß- und Kapillarperizyten. Kombinierte immunhistochemische Anfärbungen mit verschiedenen Markern für unterschiedliche Zelltypen bestätigten die Befunde. Die Isolierung von kapillären Endothelzellen und Perizyten aus Rattengehirnen (BMECs) und Retinae (RMECs) und deren In-vitro-Kultivierung unter erhöhten Druckbedingungen in einer eigens konstruierten Druckkammer bestätigten den In-vivo-Befund. Schlussfolgerung Die unerwartete kapilläre Reaktion auf die Erhöhung des IOD in vivo bzw. des Kultivierungsdrucks in vitro kann gegenwärtig als eine frühe Reaktion der Zellen mit Expression anormaler Proteine gedeutet werden. Dieser Befund mag bisherige klinische Beobachtungen erklären, die als peripapilläre Blutungen oder Mikroinfarkte imponieren und wahrscheinlich mit der Optikopathie einhergehen.

Abstract:
Mistletoe (Viscum album L., VA) lectins (MLs) are plant lectins with potent anticancer activity. Although wide use of VA extracts in curing cancer, the effects of purified MLs on human vasculature in term of possible side effect of the lectin has not yet been reported. The present study was aimed to investigate isometric contractions of isolated human mesenteric arteries during MLs application. The contractile response of arteries was studied using Mulvany-Halpern myograph and the isometric contractions under MLs’ treatment were examined in artery segments with either intact endothelium or after endothelium removal. Furthermore, the effect of the lectin was assessed in arterial preparations in basal tension, in arteries precontracted with 42 mM KCl as a depolarizing stimulus or endothelin-1 (ET-1) as a potent receptor-operated agonist of vascular smooth muscle contraction. The results showed that MLs (1 to 100 nM) failed to affect the high K+-induced contractions of both endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded arteries. The contractions of tissue preparations without endothelium in basal tone or after ET-1 (1 nM) treatment were also not affected by the application of MLs. The observed mild effect of MLs on the contractility of human vasculature may potentially be beneficial with MLs-based anticancer therapy without vascular side effects.

Abstract:
Creating national committees for domestic animal genetic resources within genetic resource national commissions is recommended to organize in situ and ex situ conservation initiatives. In situ conservation is a high priority because it retains traditional zootechnical contexts and locations to ensure the long-term survival of breeds. In situ actions can be based on subsidies, technical support, structure creation, or trademark definition. Provisional or permanent relocation of breeds may prevent immediate extinction when catastrophes, epizootics, or social conflicts compromise in situ conservation. Ex situ in vivo (animal preservation in rescue or quarantine centers) and in vitro methods (germplasm, tissues/cells, DNA/genes storage) are also potential options. Alert systems must detect emergencies and summon the national committee to implement appropriate procedures. Ex situ coordinated centers must be prepared to permanently or provisionally receive extremely endangered collections. National germplasm banks must maintain sufficient samples of national breeds (duplicated) in their collections to restore extinct populations at levels that guarantee the survival of biodiversity. A conservation management survey, describing national and international governmental and non-governmental structures, was developed. Conservation research initiatives for international domestic animal genetic resources from consortia centralize the efforts of studies on molecular, genomic or geo-evolutionary breed characterization, breed distinction, and functional gene identification. Several consortia also consider ex situ conservation relying on socioeconomic or cultural aspects. The CONBIAND network (Conservation for the Biodiversity of Local Domestic Animals for Sustainable Rural Development) exemplifies conservation efficiency maximization in a low-funding setting, integrating several Latin American consortia with international cooperation where limited human, material, and economic resources are available.

Abstract:
Purpose. We present a novel background tissue phase removing method, called anatomical phase extraction (APE), and to investigate the accuracy of temperature estimation and capability of reducing background artifacts compared with the conventional referenceless methods. Methods. Susceptibility variance was acquired by subtracting pretreatment baseline images taken at different locations (nine pretreatment baselines are acquired and called φ 1 to φ 9 ). The susceptibility phase data φ S was obtained using the Wiener deconvolution algorithm. The background phase data φ T was isolated by subtracting φ S from the whole phase data. Finally, φ T was subtracted from the whole phase data before applying the referenceless method. As a proof of concept, the proposed APE method was performed on ex vivo pork tenderloin and compared with other two referenceless temperature estimation approaches, including reweighted ℓ 1 referenceless (RW- ℓ 1) and ℓ 2 referenceless methods. The proposed APE method was performed with four different baselines combination, namely, ( φ 1 , φ 5 , φ 2 , φ 4 ), ( φ 3 , φ 5 , φ 2 , φ 6 ), ( φ 7 , φ 5 , φ 8 , φ 4 ), and ( φ 9 , φ 5 , φ 8 , φ 6 ), and called APE experiment 1 to 4, respectively. The multibaseline method was used as a standard reference. The mean absolute error (MAE) and two-sample t -test analysis in temperature estimation of three regions of interest (ROI) between the multibaseline method and the other three methods, i.e., APE, RW- ℓ 1, and ℓ 2, were calculated and compared. Results. Our results show that the mean temperature errors of the APE method-experiment 1, APE method-experiment 2, APE method-experiment 3, APE method-experiment 4, and RW- ℓ 1 and ℓ 2 referenceless method are 1.02°C, 1.04°C, 1.00°C, 1.00°C, 4.75°C, and 13.65°C, respectively. The MAEs of the RW- ℓ 1 and ℓ 2 referenceless methods were higher than that of APE method. The APE method showed no significant difference ( p > 0.05 ), compared with the multibaseline method. Conclusion. The present work demonstrates the use of the APE method on referenceless MR thermometry to improve the accuracy of temperature estimation during MRI guided high-intensity focused ultrasound for ablation treatment.

Abstract:
This paper presents techniques for robot-aided intraocular surgery using monocular vision in order to overcome erroneous stereo reconstruction in an intact eye. We propose a new retinal surface estimation method based on a structured-light approach. A handheld robot known as the Micron enables automatic scanning of a laser probe, creating projected beam patterns on the retinal surface. Geometric analysis of the patterns then allows planar reconstruction of the surface. To realize automated surgery in an intact eye, monocular hybrid visual servoing is accomplished through a scheme that incorporates surface reconstruction and partitioned visual servoing. We investigate the sensitivity of the estimation method according to relevant parameters and also evaluate its performance in both dry and wet conditions. The approach is validated through experiments for automated laser photocoagulation in a realistic eye phantom in vitro. Finally, we present the first demonstration of automated intraocular laser surgery in porcine eyes ex vivo.

Abstract:
Modern agriculture has responded to the growing pressure for animal-protein consumption in the global human population by selecting for specific production traits, which, over the last fifty years, has resulted in a loss of genetic diversity. Most rare and endangered breeds of livestock have not experienced the same selection pressures for production and therefore may contain useful genetic traits not found within modern breeds. In an effort to maintain biodiversity of livestock breeds, the SVF Foundation, a non-profit organization founded to preserve the genetic diversity of food and fiber livestock, has established an ex situ repository of genetic material from endangered North American cattle, sheep, and goats. This genetic material includes in vivo and in vitro produced embryos, semen, fibroblasts, serum, and whole blood DNA cards. The majority of samples in the SVF repository are cryopreserved, creating a genome resource bank for future use. Through the Smithsonian and SVF Biodiversity Preservation Project, this repository will be maintained at the Smithsonian’s Front Royal, VA, facility. This effort represents an excellent model for understanding and sustaining the genetic diversity of rare breeds in the US and in other countries.

Abstract:
Abstract Computed tomography (CT)-based finite element (FE) models may improve the current osteoporosis diagnostics and prediction of fracture risk by providing an estimate for femoral strength. However, the need for a CT scan, as opposed to the conventional use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for osteoporosis diagnostics, is considered a major obstacle. The 3D shape and bone mineral density (BMD) distribution of a femur can be reconstructed using a statistical shape and appearance model (SSAM) and the DXA image of the femur. Then, the reconstructed shape and BMD could be used to build FE models to predict bone strength. Since high accuracy is needed in all steps of the analysis, this study aimed at evaluating the ability of a 3D FE model built from one 2D DXA image to predict the strains and fracture load of human femora. Three cadaver femora were retrieved, for which experimental measurements from ex vivo mechanical tests were available. FE models were built using the SSAM-based reconstructions: using only the SSAM-reconstructed shape, only the SSAM-reconstructed BMD distribution, and the full SSAM-based reconstruction (including both shape and BMD distribution). When compared with experimental data, the SSAM-based models predicted accurately principal strains (coefficient of determination >0.83, normalized root-mean-square error <16%) and femoral strength (standard error of the estimate 1215 N). These results were only slightly inferior to those obtained with CT-based FE models, but with the considerable advantage of the models being built from DXA images. In summary, the results support the feasibility of SSAM-based models as a practical tool to introduce FE-based bone strength estimation in the current fracture risk diagnostics.

Abstract:
The chi-square periodogram (CSP), developed over 40 years ago, continues to be one of the most popular methods to estimate the period of circadian (circa 24-h) rhythms. Previous work has indicated the CSP is sometimes less accurate than other methods, but understanding of why and under what conditions remains incomplete. Using simulated rhythmic time-courses, we found that the CSP is prone to underestimating the period in a manner that depends on the true period and the length of the time-course. This underestimation bias is most severe in short time-courses (e.g., 3 days), but is also visible in longer simulated time-courses (e.g., 12 days) and in experimental time-courses of mouse wheel-running and ex vivo bioluminescence. We traced the source of the bias to discontinuities in the periodogram that are related to the number of time-points the CSP uses to calculate the observed variance for a given test period. By revising the calculation to avoid discontinuities, we developed a new version, the greedy CSP, that shows reduced bias and improved accuracy. Nonetheless, even the greedy CSP tended to be less accurate on our simulated time-courses than an alternative method, namely the Lomb-Scargle periodogram. Thus, although our study describes a major improvement to a classic method, it also suggests that users should generally avoid the CSP when estimating the period of biological rhythms.

Abstract:
Nearly all mammals have a vibrissal system specialized for tactile sensation, composed of whiskers growing from sensor-rich follicles in the skin. When a whisker deflects against an object, it deforms within the follicle and exerts forces on the mechanoreceptors inside. In addition, during active whisking behavior, muscle contractions around the follicle and increases in blood pressure in the ring sinus will affect the whisker deformation profile. To date, however, it is not yet possible to experimentally measure how the whisker deforms in an intact follicle or its effects on different groups of mechanoreceptors. The present study develops a novel model to predict vibrissal deformation within the follicle sinus complex. The model is based on experimental results from a previous ex vivo study on whisker deformation within the follicle, and on a new histological analysis of follicle tissue. It is then used to simulate whisker deformation within the follicle during passive touch and active whisking. Results suggest that the most likely whisker deformation profile is “S-shaped,” crossing the midline of the follicle right below the ring sinus. Simulations of active whisking indicate that an increase in overall muscle stiffness, an increase in the ratio between deep and superficial intrinsic muscle stiffness, and an increase in sinus blood pressure will all enhance tactile sensitivity. Finally, we discuss how the deformation profiles might map to the responses of primary afferents of each mechanoreceptor type. The mechanical model presented in this study is an important first step in simulating mechanical interactions within whisker follicles.

Abstract:
The emerging tumor-on-chip (ToC) approaches allow to address biomedical questions out of reach with classical cell culture techniques: in biomimetic 3D hydrogels they partially reconstitute ex vivo the complexity of the tumor microenvironment and the cellular dynamics involving multiple cell types (cancer cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, etc.). However, a clear bottleneck is the extraction and interpretation of the rich biological information contained, sometime hidden, in the cell co-culture videos. In this work, we develop and apply novel video analysis algorithms to automatically measure the cytotoxic effects on human cancer cells (lung and breast) induced either by doxorubicin chemotherapy drug or by autologous tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). A live fluorescent dye (red) is used to selectively pre-stain the cancer cells before co-cultures and a live fluorescent reporter for caspase activity (green) is used to monitor apoptotic cell death. The here described open-source computational method, named STAMP (spatiotemporal apoptosis mapper), extracts the temporal kinetics and the spatial maps of cancer death, by localizing and tracking cancer cells in the red channel, and by counting the red to green transition signals, over 2–3 days. The robustness and versatility of the method is demonstrated by its application to different cell models and co-culture combinations. Noteworthy, this approach reveals the strong contribution of primary cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to breast cancer chemo-resistance, proving to be a powerful strategy to investigate intercellular cross-talks and drug resistance mechanisms. Moreover, we defined a new parameter, the ‘potential of death induction’, which is computed in time and in space to quantify the impact of dying cells on neighbor cells. We found that, contrary to natural death, cancer death induced by chemotherapy or by CTL is transmissible, in that it promotes the death of nearby cancer cells, suggesting the release of diffusible factors which amplify the initial cytotoxic stimulus.

Abstract:
AbstractPrecision-cut lung-slices (PCLS), in which viable airways embedded within lung parenchyma are stretched or induced to contract, are a widely used ex vivo assay to investigate bronchoconstriction and, more recently, mechanical activation of pro-remodelling cytokines in asthmatic airways. We develop a nonlinear fibre-reinforced biomechanical model accounting for smooth muscle contraction and extracellular matrix strain-stiffening. Through numerical simulation, we describe the stresses and contractile responses of an airway within a PCLS of finite thickness, exposing the importance of smooth muscle contraction on the local stress state within the airway. We then consider two simplifying limits of the model (a membrane representation and an asymptotic reduction in the thin-PCLS-limit), that permit analytical progress. Comparison against numerical solution of the full problem shows that the asymptotic reduction successfully captures the key elements of the full model behaviour. The more tractable reduced model that we develop is suitable to be employed in investigations to elucidate the time-dependent feedback mechanisms linking airway mechanics and cytokine activation in asthma.

Abstract:
Even though the field of medical imaging advances, there are structures in the human body that are barely assessible with classical image acquisition modalities. One example are the three leaflets of the aortic valve due to their thin structure and high movement. However, with an increasing accuracy of biomechanical simulation, for example of the heart function, and extense computing capabilities available, concise knowledge of the individual morphology of these structures could have a high impact on personalized therapy and intervention planning as well as on clinical research. Thus, there is a high demand to estimate the individual shape of inassessible structures given only information on the geometry of the surrounding tissue. This leads to a domain adaptation problem, where the domain gap could be very large while typically only small datasets are available. Hence, classical approaches for domain adaptation are not capable of providing sufficient predictions. In this work, we present a new framework for bridging this domain gap in the scope of estimating anatomical shapes based on the surrounding tissue's morphology. Thus, we propose deep representation learning to not map from one image to another but to predict a latent shape representation. We formalize this framework and present two different approaches to solve the given problem. Furthermore, we perform a proof-of-concept study for estimating the individual shape of the aortic valve leaflets based on a volumetric ultrasound image of the aortic root. Therefore, we collect an ex-vivo porcine data set consisting of both, ultrasound volume images as well as high-resolution leaflet images, evaluate both approaches on it and perform an analysis of the model's hyperparameters. Our results show that using deep representation learning and domain mapping between the identified latent spaces, a robust prediction of the unknown leaflet shape only based on surrounding tissue information is possible, even in limited data scenarios. The concept can be applied to a wide range of modeling tasks, not only in the scope of heart modeling but also for all kinds of inassessible structures within the human body.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the western countries. Robotic surgery recently emerged as a confirmed strategy in the cardiovascular field, especially thanks to the improvement of soft robotics. These techniques have demonstrated their potential in terms of speed of execution and precision. In this context, a deeper knowledge of the material properties of the blood vessels is required, especially for computational soft robotics applications. A constitutive model including the contribution of the collagen fibers families is needed to take hyperelasticity and anisotropy into account. For this purpose, four different models are presented: two fiber families with dispersion (2FFD), two fiber families without dispersion (2FF), four fiber families with dispersion (4FFD), and four fiber families without dispersion (4FF). A set of experimental biaxial data obtained from ex-vivo specimens was used to assess the model performances. Two fitting procedures were imposed: a procedure with no weighting of scores and a procedure with a weight set to enhance the model performances in the contact range. A finite element simulation of a contact procedure was developed to evaluate the effect on the contact pressures and forces according to the different model implementations. In particular, a minimally invasive aortic valve positioning process through a previously designed soft robot was simulated. The results confirmed the overall fitting procedure. The adoption of the weighting process for the fitting was successful, as it permitted an accurate prediction in the region of interest through models with less parameters.
