Applying automated laser micro-machining process and a layer-by-layer silicone deposition scheme, authors developed the manufacturing methods of the electrode array for fine patterning and mass production. The developed electrode array has been verified through the requirements specified by the ISO Standard 14708-7. And the insertion trauma of the electrode array has been evaluated based on human temporal bone studies. According to the specified requirements, the electrode array was assessed through elongation &amp; insulation, flexural, and fatigue tests. In addition, Temporal bone study was performed using eight fresh-frozen cadaver temporal bones with the electrode arrays inserted via the round window. Following soaking in saline condition, the impedances between conducting wires of the electrode array were measured over 100 kΩ (the pass/fail criterion). After each required test, it was shown that the electrode array maintained the electrical continuity and insulation condition. The average insertion angle of the electrode array inside the scala tympani was 399.7°. The human temporal bone studies exhibited atraumatic insertion rate of 60.3% (grade 0 or 1). The reliability of the manufacturable electrode array is successfully verified in mechanical, electrical, and histological aspects. Following the completion of a 32-channel cochlear implant system, the performance and stability of the 32-channel electrode array will be evaluated in clinical trials.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":490,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Microdevices","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49688218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly, interleukin 6 (IL-6) is implicated as a key biomarker of cytokine storm responsible for and further progression to pulmonary edema. In this study, alveolar-like tissue was reconstructed in a microfluidic device with: (1) human microvascular lung endothelial cells (HULEC-5a) cultured under flow-induced shear stress and (2) human epithelial cells (Calu-3) cultured at air–liquid interface. The effects of IL-6 and the soluble form of its receptor (sIL-6R) on the permeability, electrical resistance, and morphology of the endothelial and epithelial layers were evaluated. The diffusion barrier properties of both the endothelial and epithelial layers were significantly degraded only when IL-6 treatment was combined with sIL-6R. As suggested by recent review and clinical studies, our results provide unequivocal evidence that the barrier dysfunction occurs through trans-signaling in which IL-6 and sIL-6R form a complex and then bind to the surface of endothelial and epithelial cells, but not by classical signaling in which IL-6 binds to membrane-expressed IL-6 receptor. This finding suggests that the role of both IL-6 and sIL-6R should be considered as important biomarkers in developing strategies for treating cytokine storm.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000 <div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":490,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Microdevices","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10544-023-00680-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41231381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those devices are thus unable to resolve the physiological properties in the cytoplasm. We used microwave-based technology to extend the frequency operation to 5 GHz. At high frequencies (from tens of MHz to GHz), the electromagnetic signal passes through the membrane and allows probing the cytoplasm. This enables several applications, such as cell classification, and viability analysis. Additionally, the use of conventional microfabrication techniques reduces the cost and complexity of analysis, compared to other non-invasive methods. We demonstrated the potential of this set-up by identifying two different populations of T-lymphocytes not distinguishable through visual assessment.

For different levels of agglutination, the measured I–V curves were explicitly discriminated, providing five clinical levels from non-agglutination (level 0) to strong agglutination (level 4). The quantitative norm obtained from cubic fitting function of each I–V curve served as the criterion to represent this agglutination level. The ABO blood type was determined by both agglutination levels of the blood sample reacting with anti-A and anti-B. The degree of agglutination with anti-D gave the Rh(D) type.
