VISUALIZATION AND QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF SMALL OBJECTS IN A LENS ACOUSTIC MICROSCOPE WITH A TWO-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY by S. A. Titov, A. N. Bogachenkov

“…On the basis of the paraxial approximation it was found that the recorded spatio-temporal signal of the microscope ultrasonic array can be treated as an estimation of the scattering function of visualized objects. It was theoretically established that the scattering functions of the observed inhomogeneities can be used for the interpretation of the generated acoustic images. …”

Effect of lincRNA-EPS on osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells induced by RANKL and LPS: An experimental study by ZHANG Xu, WANG Yabing, SU Jiansheng

“…[Results:] RAW264.7 cell strain overexpressing lincRNA-EPS and its negative control strain were generated. Neither strain showed significant difference during osteoclastogenesis (P>0.05), either induced by RANKL or LPS; for osteoclastogenesis by LPS induction, TRAP staining showed that significantly more osteoclasts were generated from lincRNA-EPS OE strain (P<0.05), while phalloidin staining showed that larger F-actin rings were generated from lincRNA-EPS OE strain, and RT-qPCR also showed that the mRNA levels of 4 osteoclastogenesis-related genes (TRAP, CTSK, DC-STAMP and ATP6v0d2) after induction were significantly lower in lincRNA-EPS OE strain (P<0.05); however, those difference were not present (P>0.05) when osteoclastogenesis was induced by RANKL. …”

Unilateral chewing of foods. Analysis of energy balance and peak power of the mandibular elevator muscles by Przemysław Stróżyk, Jacek Bałchanowski

“…The results indicate that (1) food height and texture significantly affect muscle energy and (2) the masticatory and medial pterygoid muscles generate more incredible energy and peak power on the working side than on the non working side, while the opposite was observed for the temporalis muscle and (3) comparative analysis showed that food position on the dental arch has a more significant effect on muscle peak power for foods with high texture heterogeneity than for foods with low texture heterogeneity.…”
