Single-Exposure, Single-Mask, Edge-Illumination X-ray Phase-Contrast Imaging Using a 7.8-μm Pixel Pitch Direct Conversion X-ray Detector

Double-mask edge-illumination is a well-reported technique for phase-contrast x-ray imaging. Although phase retrieval using this technique is comparably easier than propagation-based phase-contrast x-ray imaging, edge-illumination can be inefficient in terms of dose efficiency and imaging time when it comes to computed tomography scanning. The illumination curve, which describes the beamlets' intensity profile impinging upon the detector, is a key parameter that contributes to retrieving phase and absorption information. To obtain the illumination curve, multiple exposures are typically required which decreases x-ray dose efficiency and, more importantly, increases imaging time. Moreover, sample motion can negatively impact the image and information retrieval process. In this research, we employ a single mask in conjunction with a 7.8-μm pixel pitch amorphous selenium-CMOS hybrid direct conversion x-ray detector to obtain the beamlets' intensity profile with only a single exposure. We demonstrate how using an ultra-high spatial resolution x-ray detector with a single-mask edge-illumination technique can potentially increase both dose efficiency and imaging time by at least a factor of 1.5X. Moreover, the resulting system using our approach is more compact with a source-to-detector distance of less than 30 cm. Single-exposure imaging can also help mitigate the impact of motion artifacts in the final image

Evaluation of the effects of extraction of Kurdistan propolis on biochemical and microbiological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Spoilage of fish muscle results from changes brought about by biological reactions such as oxidation of lipids, reactions due to activities of the fish’s own enzymes and the metabolic activities of microorganisms. These activities lead to a short shelf life in fish and other seafood products. Propolis is a natural product derived from plant resins collected by honeybees. Propolis has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. It is known that propolis possesses anti- microbial, antioxidative, anti-ulcer and anti-tumor activities. At this study biochemical and microbiological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) treated to 10% concentration of alcoholic extraction of Kurdistan propolis for 24 days were determined. Analyses were carried out for mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria counting as microbiological parameters and total volatile base nitrogen (TVBN), Thiobarbituric acid reactive species(TBARS), pH and acidity as biochemical parameters, for 0, 8, 16 and 24 days of storage at 4 ºC with vacuum packaging. The results presented that decreasing in microbiological parameters at control samples were more faster than treated samples and TVB-N,TBARS and acidity of control samples were higher than treated samples and pH of treated samples were higher than control samples after 24 days. The results suggest that 10% concentration of alcoholic extraction of Kurdistan propolis can enhance the shelf life of rainbow trout fillets during the refrigerated, vacuum packed preservation

Capicua regulates neural stem cell proliferation and lineage specification through control of Ets factors

Capicua (Cic) is a transcriptional repressor mutated in the brain cancer oligodendroglioma. Despite its cancer link, little is known of Cic’s function in the brain. We show that nuclear Cic expression is strongest in astrocytes and neurons but weaker in stem cells and oligodendroglial lineage cells. Using a new conditional Cic knockout mouse, we demonstrate that forebrain-specific Cic deletion increases proliferation and self-renewal of neural stem cells. Furthermore, Cic loss biases neural stem cells toward glial lineage selection, expanding the pool of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). These proliferation and lineage effects are dependent on de-repression of Ets transcription factors. In patient-derived oligodendroglioma cells, CIC re-expression or ETV5 blockade decreases lineage bias, proliferation, self-renewal, and tumorigenicity. Our results identify Cic as an important regulator of cell fate in neurodevelopment and oligodendroglioma, and suggest that its loss contributes to oligodendroglioma by promoting proliferation and an OPC-like identity via Ets overactivity
