The University of British Columbia (UBC) Faculty of Medicine suspended clinical rotations for medical students on March 14, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time 291 Year 3 medical students were engaged in clerkships across British Columbia and urgently needed an academic pathway to advance to Year 4 on schedule.Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, involves multiple systems and may display pericardial effusion. Herein, we report a 60-year-old man who presented with refractory pericardial effusion of "unknown" etiology. As in this patient, ECD should be considered when rapidly recurrent pericardial effusion is accompanied by a pseudotumoral lesion of the right atrium and other systemic manifestations.Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited, progressive systemic disorder with both renal and extra renal involvement. Commonest presentation is clusters of cysts in the kidney. About 75% develop end stage renal disease by 70 years of age. We present a case of 62-year old hypertensive male presenting with massive abdominal distention diagnosed with large cysts replacing bilateral kidneys completely along with multiple liver cysts characteristic of ADPKD.-Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells; LSKs), is not suitable for the analysis of hematopoietic responses under biological stresses with interferon (IFN) production. Lin-Sca-1-c-Kit+ cells (LKs), downstream progenitors of LSKs, acquire Sca-1 expression upon inflammation, which makes it impossible to distinguish between LSKs and LKs. As an alternative and stable marker even under such stresses, we identified CD86 by screening 180 surface markers. The analysis of infection/inflammation-triggered hematopoiesis on the basis of CD86 expression newly revealed urgent erythropoiesis producing stress-resistant RBCs and intact reconstitution capacity of LSKs, which could not be detected by conventional Sca-1-based analysis.In this study, the interaction between nine classic flavonoids (including baicalin, quercetin, myricetin, rutin, puerarin, daidzein, liquiritin and isoliquiritin) and trypsin was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular modeling methods. The results reveal that all flavonoids can interact with trypsin to form flavonoid-trypsin complexes. The binding parameters obtained from the data at different temperatures indicate that all flavonoids can spontaneously bind with trypsin with one binding site. The binding constants of trypsin with nine classic flavonoids are in the following order as baicalin > myricetin > rutin > isoliquiritin > hesperidin > puerarin > quercetin > daidzein > liquiritin. The interaction forces between flavonoids and trypsin may be electrostatic forces (except for rutin/puerarin/daidzein), hydrophobic interactions as well as van der Waals forces. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy shows that the interaction between flavonoids and trypsin changes the hydrophobicity of the microenvironment of tryptophan (Trp) residues. All flavonoids close to tyrosine (Tyr) residues but have no effect on the microenvironment around Tyr residues except for hesperidin and liquiritin. Molecular modeling displays that all flavonoids bind directly into trypsin cavity site and lead to a decrease in enzyme activity.Aftera novel human coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was reported in China in December 2019, the disease quicklyreached pandemic level. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The caseload has increased exponentially, with WHO reporting 182,000 global cases by 17 March 2020, and over 2.6 million by 23 April. The clinical situation is complex, with children presenting different clinical features compared to adults. Several articles with recommendations on the anesthetic management of adult patients with COVID-19 have been published, but no specific recommendations for pediatric anesthesiologists have been made yet. This article addresses specific concerns for the anesthetic management of the pediatric population with COVID-19.The precise positioning and arrangement of cell spheroids and organoids are critical to reconstructing complex tissue architecture for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Here, we present a digital acoustofluidic method to manipulate cell spheroids and organoids with unprecedented dexterity. By introducing localized vibrations via a C-shaped integrated digital transducer (IDT), we can generate a trapping node to immobilize cell spheroids with a diameter ranging from 20 μm to 300 μm. Moreover, we digitally trapped multiple cell spheroids atop of the C-shaped IDTs within a closed or open microfluidic chamber. By programming the trapping nodes within a 3 x 3 C-shaped IDT array, we can precisely position cell spheroids into designed patterns. TNG908 We also demonstrated that our digital acoustofluidic device can accurately control the interaction of spheroid cells and organoids with excellent biocompatibility. Along with a simple fabrication and setup, our digital acoustofluidic method can provide precisely manipulate and position various cell spheroids or organoids in a contactless, label-free, and highly biocompatible manner. We believe this technology can be widely used for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and fundamental cell biology research.In the melanocortin pathway, melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) functions to control energy homeostasis. MC4R is expressed in a sub-population of Sim1 neurons (Sim1/MC4R neurons) and functions in hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei (PVN) to control food intake. Mapping sites of hypothalamic injury in obesity is essential to counteract the disease. In the PVN of male and female mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) there is neuronal loss. However, the existing subpopulation of PVN Sim1/MC4R neurons is unchanged, but has a loss of mitochondria and MC4R protein. In mice of both sexes with DIO, dietary intervention to re-establish normal weight restores abundance of MC4R protein in Sim1/MC4R neurons and neurogenesis in the PVN. However, the number of non-Sim1/MC4R neurons in the PVN continues to remain decreased. Selective survival and recovery of Sim1/MC4R neurons after DIO suggests these neurons as preferential target to restore energy homeostasis and of therapy against obesity.
