Anterior glenoid preparation (right shoulder viewing from the anterosuperior portal). The inferior glenohumeral ligament complex (IGHLC) is detached to the 6 or 6:30 o’clock position, which would be elevated to a plane as high as the glenoid surface. The anterior glenoid rim is appropriately decorticated by the shaver and burr, and a strip of freshened bone bed with a width of about 3 mm is created.

Molecular configuration of the FUN-LOV variants. (A) Plasmids encoding the original FUN-LOV switch. This system is encoded in two multicopy plasmids (pRS423 and pRS425), using the ADH1 promoter (P ADH1 ) and ADH2 terminator (ADH2 ter ) for all the components. The FUN-LOVLS variant is encoded in two low-copy number plasmids (pRS313 and pRS315), and P ADH1 was replaced by the TDH3 promoter (P TDH3 ). (B) The new FUN-LOV variants. The FUN-LOVSP system is encoded in a single multicopy plasmid (pRS426) or a single low-copy plasmid (pRS316). In addition, the FUN-LOVSP-Nat and FUN-LOVSP-Hph variants are carrying the nourseothricin and hygromycin antibiotic resistances in the reverse orientation (MxRv), respectively. (C) The original FUN-LOV system architecture. The Gal4 DNA-Binding Domain (DBD) is linked to the LOV domain of WC-1, and the Gal4-activation domain (AD) is tethered to the LOV domain of VVD. Under blue light, the interaction between the LOV domains of both proteins reconstructs the Gal4 transcription factor, resulting in the expression of luciferase (Luc). The Luc gene is integrated into the yeast genome (Chr IV) and is controlled by GAL1 (P GAL1 ) or 5XGAL1 (P 5XGAL1 ) promoter.

Luciferase expression in the BY4741 strains carrying different FUN-LOV variants episomally. (A) BY4741 yeast strains carrying the luciferase reporter gene (Luc) integrated into the genome and controlled by either the GAL1 (P GAL1 ) or the 5XGAL1 (P 5XGAL1 ) promoters. These strains were transformed with different FUN-LOV variants episomally to evaluate the impact of these systems in light-regulated reporter gene expression. (B–G) The luciferase expression was measured as luminescence (Lum) and normalized by the Optical Density at 600 nm (OD600 nm) of the corresponding yeast cell culture. Three experimental conditions were assayed: (B,E) constant darkness (DD), (C,F) constant blue-light (BL), and (D, G) a single blue-light pulse (BLP) of 2-h duration (dotted lines). In all panels, the average of six biological replicates is shown, with the standard deviation represented by dashed lines of the corresponding color.

We removed the static fixator, performed an extended arthrolysis and anatomic reduction of the elbow joint, followed by applying a dynamic hinged elbow fixator on May 15th, 2012 (68 days after trauma), resulting in congruent elbow joint in flexion and extension during surgery. b Intraoperative fluoroscopy images. c Postoperative photo of hinged external fixator. After 8 weeks, the dynamic fixator was removed. d The treatment resulted in a congruent anatomically joint seen on final radiological examination. At last follow-up clinical result was excellent with a flexion–extension arc of 140° and pronation-supination arc of 180°. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged from follow-up after 7.3 months

Description of the TULSA technology. MRI-guided TULSA is a minimally invasive ablation technique delivering directional high-intensity ultrasound energy (*) to the prostate (yellow circle) using a transurethral rotational UA comprised of 10 independently controlled ultrasound elements (A). By actively cooling both the urethra and rectum throughout the ablation, TULSA protects these structures from thermal injuries (B, C). Real-time MRI-thermometry is continuously acquired during the ablation to automatically control the delivered lethal thermal energy by adjusting each ultrasound element’s frequency and power and the UA’s rotation rate (D). On the axial maximum temperature image of a patient undergoing lesion-targeted TULSA of a posterior peripheral zone tumor (D), a minimum lethal temperature of 55°C reaches the drawn (black) boundary. Due to prostate swelling caused by the ablation, the catheter is kept in place for weeks after the procedure (see Figure 2 patient case with a suprapubic catheter). MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; TULSA, transurethral ultrasound ablation; UA, ultrasound applicator.

An example of a successful salvage TULSA patient case. The patient had a rising PSA of up to 13 ng/ml within six years after primary external beam radiotherapy. Screening T2-weighted (A) and diffusion-weighted (B) MRI showed a distinct anterior lesion with early enhancement on gadolinium-enhanced imaging (C) graded as PI-RR 5 lesion. The same lesion was also clearly visible in 18F-PSMA-1007 PET-CT (maximum standardized uptake value 23) (D). Two residual gold fiducial markers implanted before image-guided radiotherapy are also visible next to the PSMA-positive lesion (D). The MRI-targeted biopsy from the lesion revealed vital carcinoma resembling ISUP GG 5 disease (E). The patient underwent whole-gland TULSA. On the sagittal T1-weighted image (F), a transurethrally inserted ultrasound applicator, endorectal cooling device, and suprapubic catheter are in place. The targeted region reached a lethal minimum temperature of 55°C (G). The non-perfused volume can be visualized immediately after treatment, demonstrating the acute ablation effect covering the targeted lesion (H). At 12 months, the patient underwent follow-up imaging with multiparametric MRI and 18F-PSMA-1007 PET-CT (I, J), both negative for cancer. The prostate volume decreased from 20 cm3 to less than 1 cm3 at 12 months. The 12-month post-TULSA biopsy agreed with imaging findings and showed only a treatment effect with no signs of cancer (K). At the recent follow-up visit two years after TULSA, PSA is still low (PSA 0.067 ng/ml) and stable, and the patient has leak- and pad-free continence and erections sufficient for intercourse. The TULSA treatment report of the patient case, including treatment planning, thermal mapping, and post-treatment gadolinium-enhanced images, is provided in Supplementary Figure S1 .

CaSR-Inflammation signaling cross-talk (figure drawn with Biorender.com, accessed on 27 October 2022). CaSR stimulation via orthosteric ligands, such as Ca2+, spermine, spermidine, putrescine, etc. and allosteric modulators, such as cinacalcet and NPS R-568, induces the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and the NF-κB pathway that promote inflammatory stimuli by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines. In turn, inflammatory stimuli, i.e., IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β, can induce CaSR expression and synthesis.

Detailed structure of bacteriocytes of Bathymodiolus septemdierum.(A–D) Transmission electron microscopy images showing openings of the symbiotic chambers at the apical surfaces of bacteriocytes (magenta arrowheads in A and B), linkage among several chambers (green arrowheads in A and B), and the complex passages connecting the chambers and the external environment (yellow arrowheads in C and D). Apical is at the top. (E–I) Tomographic three-dimensional reconstruction of bacteriocyte ultrastructure from thin sections of cell 1 observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as a representative showing that almost all symbiotic chambers are interconnected (E–H), with many openings to the external environment at the apical surface (I). Each group of interconnected chambers is labelled with a different colour (the interlinked chambers encompassing the greatest volume are labelled with magenta). (E–H) Views of a single bacteriocyte from four directions, which are indicated at the bottom left of each panel. Because of the resolution of the serial sections (80 nm), several linkages between chambers may have been missed. The nucleus and cytoplasm are labelled with yellow and white, respectively, and made slightly transparent. (I) Apical surface of the 3D reconstructed bacteriocyte. Magenta spots indicate the openings of the chambers. (J–M) SEM images showing many openings at the apical surface of a bacteriocyte of B. septemdierum. (K–M) Magnified images of the cell surface in the areas indicated by green rectangles in (J). Note that the symbionts are observed through the openings (light-blue arrowhead). Scale bars in (A–D and K–M) 1 µm; (I and J) 5 µm.

Experimental design and impacts of a protist on cyanobacteria and cyanobacteria virocells (cyanovirocells).A Experimental design. Synechococcus WH8102 cells were infected with the T4-like myophage S-SSM5 to generate cyanovirocells. Cyanovirocells were studied over the course of infection either alone (“Cyanovirocells only” treatment) or in the presence of the protist Oxyrrhis marina (“Cyanovirocells with protist”). Arrows denote the comparisons: all treatments are compared against the Control to detect significant changes to the transcripts, metabolites, and photosynthetic efficiency. In addition, the focus of this study is the cyanovirocell responses to the presence of a protist, which is the contrast between cyanovirocells only and cyanovirocells with protist. B Fluorescent microscopic image of O. marina with ingested Synechococcus cells (protists were stained red with WGA - Alexa 488 and Synechococcus were detected with phycoerythrin pigment autofluorescence). Image was acquired using Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope with a 63× (1.4 N.A.) objective. C General infection dynamics of Synechococcus infected with S-SSM5, followed over 55 h post phage addition. This time course captures multiple cycles of infection. D Cell and phage abundances over the course of this study. Samples for genome-wide transcriptomics, endo-metabolomics, exo-metabolomics, and microscopy and photosynthetic efficiency measurements were taken every 2 h between 2 and 12 h post phage and/or protist addition. This time course captures a population-level view of infection, whereby more than one infection cycle is taking place (shaded in gray): the phages released from “infection cycle 1” infect new cells and undergo “infection cycle 2+” (i.e., two or more asynchronized infection cycles may be happening at this time). Both the burst size (here depicted as 4 phages released per infected cell), and the number of infection cycles are simplified. Cell abundance decreases significantly from start to end of ‘omics sampling during phage infection (t-test, p value <0.05), with or without protist (indicated by an asterisk for each treatment), and it does not significantly change in the presence of the protist alone. All experiments included a minimum of three biological replicates and the average with standard error is shown.
