The time-dependent localization of Ki 67 antigen-positive cells in human skin wounds
A total of 77 human skin wounds with a post-infliction interval between 3 h and 7 months were investigated and the proliferation marker antigen Ki 67 was visualized in paraffin sections using a specific monoclonal antibody (MIB). The re-built epidermal layer covering the former lesional area showed only a few basal cells positively staining for Ki 67 antigen. No enhanced reactivity was found when compared to uninjured skin. In basal cells of the epidermis adjacent to the wound area, however, varying numbers of positive cells occurred, but no information useful for a reliable time estimation of skin wounds could be obtained due to the considerable variability in the number of Ki 67 positive epidermal basal cells found in non-damaged skin. Fibroblastic cells in the wound area revealed an increased number of Ki 67-positive sites which could first be detected in a 1.5-day-old skin lesion. Positive results could be obtained in every specimen investigated after a post-infliction interval of 6 days up to 1.5 months. Only the scar tissue of the oldest wound examined (wound age 7 months) revealed no increase in the number of positively staining fibroblasts. Therefore, positive results indicate a wound age of at least approximately 1.5 days and the lack of an increased number of positive fibroblastic cells in a sufficient number of specimens indicates at a wound age of less than 6 days, but cannot totally exclude longer post-infliction intervals
Supercollision cooling in undoped graphene
Carrier mobility in solids is generally limited by electron-impurity or
electron-phonon scattering depending on the most frequently occurring event.
Three body collisions between carriers and both phonons and impurities are
rare; they are denoted supercollisions (SCs). Elusive in electronic transport
they should emerge in relaxation processes as they allow for large energy
transfers. As pointed out in Ref. \onlinecite{Song2012PRL}, this is the case in
undoped graphene where the small Fermi surface drastically restricts the
allowed phonon energy in ordinary collisions. Using electrical heating and
sensitive noise thermometry we report on SC-cooling in diffusive monolayer
graphene. At low carrier density and high phonon temperature the Joule power
obeys a law as a function of electronic temperature .
It overrules the linear law expected for ordinary collisions which has recently
been observed in resistivity measurements. The cubic law is characteristic of
SCs and departs from the dependence recently reported for metallic
graphene below the Bloch-Gr\"{u}neisen temperature. These supercollisions are
important for applications of graphene in bolometry and photo-detection
Spatial heterodyne interferometry of VY Canis Major's, alpha Orionis, alpha Scorpii, and R leonis at 11 microns
Using the technique of heterodyne interferometry, measurements were made of the spatial distribution of 11 micron radiation from four late type stars. The circumstellar shells surrounding VY Canis Majoris, alpha Orionis, and alpha Scorpii were resolved, whereas that of R Leonis was only partially resolved at a fringe spacing of 0.4 sec
Immunohistochemical localization of collagen types I and VI in human skin wounds
A total of 74 human skin wounds were investigated and collagen types I and VI were localized in the wound area by immunohistochemistry. Collagen type I appeared in the form of ramifying string-like structures after approximately 5–6 days, but positive reactions in the form of a spot-like staining around isolated fibroblasts also occurred in a skin wound aged 4 days. Collagen VI was detectable after a post-infliction interval of at least 3 days showing a strongly positive reacting network associated with fibroblasts in the wound area. Both collagens appeared almost constantly after a wound age of 6–7 clays and could also be found in wounds aged a few months. Therefore, although a positive reaction for collagen type I in the form of string-like and ramifying structures around wound fibroblasts indicates a wound age of at least 5–6 days, a spot-like positive staining for collagen type I cannot exclude a wound age of at least 4 days. A positive staining for collagen type VI represents a post-infliction time of 3 days or more. The almost constant appearance of these collagen types suggests that negative results in a sufficient number of specimens indicate a wound age of less than 6–7 days, but cannot completely exclude longer post-infliction intervals. Since collagen type I and VI are also found in the granulation/scar tissue of lesions with advanced wound age, the immunohistochemical analysis of these proteins provides no further information for an age determination of older skin wounds
Interaction of the C-terminal tail region of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 with the protein kinase C substrate PICK 1.
Graphene microwave transistors on sapphire substrates
We have developed metal-oxide graphene field-effect transistors (MOGFETs) on
sapphire substrates working at microwave frequencies. For monolayers, we obtain
a transit frequency up to ~ 80 GHz for a gate length of 200 nm, and a power
gain maximum frequency of about ~ 3 GHz for this specific sample. Given the
strongly reduced charge noise for nanostructures on sapphire, the high
stability and high performance of this material at low temperature, our MOGFETs
on sapphire are well suited for a cryogenic broadband low-noise amplifier
