Over two decades ago, spine ultrasonography was demonstrated to provide reliable guidance for locating the epidural space. Compared to the palpation technique, preprocedural ultrasonography has been shown to result in fewer needle punctures and fewer traumatic procedures, particularly in patients with abnormal or distorted spine anatomy (e.g., scoliosis, obesity). Despite its utility, the ultrasound-guided neuraxial technique is still marginally used, even for patients with abnormal anatomy. Some experts attribute this to cost, a relatively high success rate without ultrasound, and a lack of technical expertise, which is often tied to formal education and regular practice. Several proponents of the ultrasound technique emphasize that proficiency requires practice on patients with normal spine anatomy, though this training may not be as challenging as once thought. This protocol was designed to help all providers learn the basics of lumbar spine anatomy and how to apply this knowledge clinically.

Because mammalian cells sense and react to the mechanics of their immediate microenvironment, the characterization of biomechanical properties of tissues with high spatial resolution is crucial for understanding various developmental, homeostatic, and pathological processes. The basement membrane (BM), a roughly 100 - 400 nm thin extracellular matrix (ECM) substructure, plays a significant role in tumor progression and metastasis formation. Although determining Young's modulus of such a thin ECM substructure is challenging, biomechanical data of the BM provides fundamental new insights into how the BM affects cell behavior and, in addition, offers valuable diagnostic potential. Here, we present a visualized protocol for assessing BM mechanics in murine lung tissue, which is one of the major organs prone to metastasis. We describe an efficient workflow for determining the Young's modulus of the BM, which is located between the endothelial and epithelial cell layers in lung tissue. The step-by-step instructions comprise murine lung tissue freezing, cryosectioning, and AFM force-map recording on tissue sections. Additionally, we provide a semi-automatic data analysis procedure using the CANTER Processing Toolbox, an in-house developed user-friendly AFM data analysis software. This tool enables automatic loading of recorded force maps, conversion of force versus piezo-extension curves to force versus indentation curves, computation of Young's moduli, and generation of Young's modulus maps. Finally, it shows how to determine and isolate Young's modulus values derived from the pulmonary BM through the use of a spatial filtering tool.</p>","PeriodicalId":48787,"journal":{"name":"Jove-Journal of Visualized Experiments","volume":" 215","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143441898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the global number of hip fractures is expected to double between 2020 and 2050. Therefore, it is essential to detect patients at risk of fragility fracture at the population scale. The current golden standard is dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), providing the areal bone mineral density (aBMD). Ultrasonic devices, usually more portable and cheaper than X-ray devices, represent interesting DXA alternatives as screening tools. However, operator dependency is usually recognized as their main drawback. In this study, the measurement protocol of the bi-directional axial transmission (BDAT) ultrasonic device is presented in detail. The dedicated ultrasonic probe is placed at the one-third distal radius of the non-dominant forearm using conventional coupling gel. The guided interface provides in quasi-real time (about 2 Hz) four parameters of interest: velocities of the first arriving signal (vFAS) and the A0 mode (vA0), cortical thickness (Ct.Th) and porosity (Ct.Po), as well as four quality parameters. The operator moves the probe slowly at the measurement site, carefully observing the feedback provided by the interface until finding a stable position and starting a series of 10 acquisitions. When at least four consistent series are obtained, the measurement ends, and an automatic report is generated. The measurement usually takes about 5 min to complete. To determine the robustness of this protocol, a reproducibility study was conducted among 3 operators (one expert and two novices) and 14 healthy participants (6 women, 8 men, 21-53 years old). The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were found good for vA0 (0.76), Ct.Po (0.80) or excellent for Ct.Th (0.87) and vFAS (0.91). The standard deviations were found to be less than 10% of the total ranges in clinical practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":48787,"journal":{"name":"Jove-Journal of Visualized Experiments","volume":" 215","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This limitation complicates the visualization of dorsal-ventral structures and reduces image clarity, especially in older animals with increased pigmentation and larger diameters. To overcome these challenges, we developed channeled agarose pads that allow precise control of animal orientation. These channels enable researchers to rotate and fix C. elegans in specified positions, facilitating the simultaneous imaging of multiple structures and improving image resolution by bringing target cells closer to the microscope objective. This is particularly useful for imaging regenerated neuronal fibers after surgery, which may grow in directions difficult to capture with traditional flat agar pads.

We implemented a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) co-culture model to recreate the cross-talk between healthy and malignant renal tissue. This model is based on the referenced multi-organ platform and consists of co-culturing a reconstructed renal proximal tubule with RCC spheroids. Custom-designed 3D-printed chambers were used to culture human renal epithelial proximal tubule cells (RPTEC) and facilitate their self-assembly into a renal tubule contained in a collagen type I matrix. Caki-1 RCC cells were embedded in an agar collagen matrix, subsequently forming cancer spheroids. Both collagen and agar/collagen gels were optimized to maintain their integrity during cyclic perfusion and withstand shear stress during a minimum culture period of 7 days. The gels also enable adequate nutrient supply and cell secretions. Moreover, the agar/collagen gels limit the overproliferation of RCC cells, ensuring relatively homogeneous spheroid size. The MPS chip microfluidic circuits comprise two independent culture chambers with the size of a standard 96-microplate well. The renal tubule and RCC gels populate separate chambers and share the same culture media, which is recirculated approximately twice per minute. Under these conditions, we observed upregulation of immune factor expression and secretion in the renal tubules (interleukin-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha). The renal tubules also shift their metabolic activity towards glycolysis under the influence of RCC. This novel approach demonstrates that a co-culture-based MPS can amplify the complexity of RCC in vitro and be employed to study the impact of cancer on non-tumor cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":48787,"journal":{"name":"Jove-Journal of Visualized Experiments","volume":" 215","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Timely and accurate assessment of the diaphragm is vital not only in critically ill patients, where it has a role in weaning from mechanical ventilation and respiratory outcomes, but also in the perioperative arena as a diagnostic tool to detect phrenic nerve function. Diaphragmatic assessment has traditionally utilized fluoroscopy and nerve studies that are time-consuming, costly, and non-portable. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) overcomes these barriers and can be used as a tool for non-invasive screening of diaphragm function. However, POCUS for diaphragmatic dysfunction currently suffers from several issues such as a lack of consensus guidelines, a multiplicity of protocols, and poor interoperator reliability among existing protocols, most notably with the assessment of dome of diaphragm excursion and diaphragmatic thickening. To address these issues, this manuscript reviews the available literature on diaphragmatic POCUS and identifies an image acquisition technique that is both simple to perform and has high interoperator reliability.

This process is particularly prominent under conditions such as fasting, cellular stress, organelle damage, cellular damage, or aging of cellular components. During autophagy, a segment of the cytoplasm is enclosed within double-membrane vesicles known as autophagosomes, which then fuse with lysosomes. Following this fusion, the contents of autophagosomes undergo non-selective bulk degradation facilitated by lysosomes. However, autophagy also exhibits selective functionality, targeting specific organelles, including mitochondria, peroxisomes, lysosomes, nuclei, and lipid droplets (LDs). Lipid droplets are enclosed by a phospholipid monolayer that isolates neutral lipids from the cytoplasm, protecting cells from the harmful effects of excess sterols and free fatty acids (FFAs). Autophagy is implicated in various conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer. Specifically, lipophagy -- the autophagy-dependent degradation of lipid droplets -- plays a crucial role in regulating intracellular FFA levels across different metabolic states. This regulation supports essential processes such as membrane synthesis, signaling molecule formation, and energy balance. Consequently, impaired lipophagy increases cellular vulnerability to death stimuli and contributes to the development of diseases such as cancer. Despite its significance, the precise mechanisms governing lipid droplet metabolism regulated by lipophagy in cancer cells remain poorly understood. This article aims to describe confocal imaging acquisition and quantitative imaging analysis protocols that enable the investigation of lipophagy associated with metabolic changes in cancer cells. The results obtained through these protocols may shed light on the intricate interplay between autophagy, lipid metabolism, and cancer progression.
