Building evidence suggests that the activation of mTOR reduces liver injuries associated with alcohol consumption and metabolism. However, the poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and short half-life of puerarin hinder its clinical application. The utility of mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (MSNs) can improve traditional Chinese medicine limitations. Stober methods were used to fabricate MSNs@Pue, and the size, zeta potentials and drug encapsulation efficiency were characterized by a series of analytical methods. IVIS Imaging System demonstrated liver-targeted bio-distribution, and then high-throughput sequencing, immunoproteomics and ultrastructure methods indicated autophagy related protective mechanism, followed by curative effect evaluation for the treatment efficacy. An acute-on chronic ethanol-drinking according to Gao-binge model induced alcoholic hepatitis (AH) pathology and resulted in hepatic hyper-autophagy, which was improved with MSNs@Pue administration (puerarin: 30 mM, 42 mg/kg; intravenously [i.v.]). Ethanol-fed mice were found to have increased expression of autophagy-related proteins (Atg3, Atg7, LC3 and p62). In contrast, MSNs@Pue administration significantly decreased the expression of these proteins and alleviated fatty droplets infiltration in damaged liver. Furthermore, acute-on-chronic ethanol feeding also resulted in the activiation of ERK activation and mTOR expression, which were reversed with MSNs@Pue administration and better than the usage of puerarin alone. Results point to MSNs@Pue mediated ERK/mTOR signaling pathway activation as a possible protective strategy to improve AH, which provides a strategy and evidence for treating liver disease using an MSN delivery system.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":490,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Microdevices","volume":"24 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10544-022-00622-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5131753","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}

During development, a sensor’s design and external factors are rigorously optimized, but improvements in signal quality and interpretation are usually still necessary to produce a sensitive and accurate product. A common solution involves digital signal processing after sample analysis, but these methods frequently fall short in providing meaningful signal outcome changes. This shortcoming may arise from a lack of investigative research into selecting and using signal processing functions, as many choices in current sensors are based on either theoretical results or estimated hypotheses. While a ubiquitous condition set is improbable across diverse impedance cytometry designs, there lies a need for a streamlined and rapid analytical method for discovering those conditions for unique sensors. Herein, we present a comprehensive dissemination of digital filtering parameters applied on experimental impedance cytometry data for determining the limits of signal processing on signal quality improvements. Various filter orders, cutoff frequencies, and filter types are applied after data collection for highest achievable noise reduction. After designing and fabricating a microfluidic impedance cytometer, 9 µm polystyrene particles were measured under flow and signal quality improved by 6.09 dB when implementing digital filtering. This approached was then translated to isolated human neutrophils, where similarly, signal quality improved by 7.50 dB compared to its unfiltered original data. By sweeping all filtering conditions and devising a system to evaluate filtering performance both by signal quality and object counting accuracy, this may serve as a framework for future systems to determine their appropriately optimized filtering configuration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":490,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Microdevices","volume":"24 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10544-022-00636-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5103201","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}

The use of US alone or combined to molecular compounds, microbubbles or solid-state nanoparticles is the focus of current research and clinical trials, like thermoablation, drug sonoporation or sonodynamic therapies. In the present work, we discuss on the non-thermal effects of ultrasound and the conditions which enable oxygen radical production and which role they can have in provoking the death of different cancer cell lines. In this perspective, we set a mathematical model to predict the pressure spatial distribution in a defined water sample volume and thus obtain a map of acoustic pressures and acoustic intensities of the applied ultrasound at different input powers. We then validate and verify these numerical results with direct acoustic measurements and by detecting the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by means of sonochemiluminescence (SCL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, applied to the same water sample volume and using the same US input parameters adopted in the simulation. Finally, the various US conditions are applied to two different set of cancer cell lines, a cervical adenocarcinoma and a hematological cancer, Burkitt’s lymphoma. We hypothesize how the ROS generation can influence the recorded cell death. In a second set of experiments, the role of semiconductor metal oxide nanocrystals, i.e. zinc oxide, is also evaluated by adding them to the water and biological systems. In particular, the role of ZnO in enhancing the ROS production is verified. Furthermore, the interplay among US and ZnO nanocrystals is evaluated in provoking cancer cell death at specific conditions. This study demonstrates a useful correlation between numerical simulation and experimental acoustic validation as well as with ROS measurement at both qualitative and quantitative levels during US irradiation of simple water solution. It further tries to translate the obtained results to justify one of the possible mechanisms responsible of cancer cell death. It thus aims to pave the way for the use of US in cancer therapy and a better understanding on the non-thermal effect that a specific set of US parameters can have on cancer cells cultured <i>in vitro</i>.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":490,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Microdevices","volume":"24 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10544-022-00635-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4954916","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}

In locally induced hypoxia due to blood vessel blockage, oxygen delivery becomes compromised. The site where blood flow is diminished the most forms a zero-oxygen core, and different oxygenation zones form around this core with varying oxygen concentrations. Naturally, these differing oxygen microenvironments drive cells to respond according to their oxygenation status. To study these cellular processes in laboratory settings, the cellular gas microenvironments should be controlled rapidly and precisely. In this study, we propose an organ-on-a-chip device that provides control over the oxygen environments in three separate compartments as well as the possibility of rapidly changing the corresponding oxygen concentrations. The proposed device includes a microfluidic channel structure with three separate arrays of narrow microchannels that guide gas mixtures with desired oxygen concentrations to diffuse through a thin gas-permeable membrane into cell culture areas. The proposed microfluidic channel structure is characterized using a 2D ratiometric oxygen imaging system, and the measurements confirm that the oxygen concentrations at the cell culture surface can be modulated in a few minutes. The structure is capable of creating hypoxic oxygen tension, and distinct oxygen environments can be generated simultaneously in the three compartments. By combining the microfluidic channel structure with an open-well coculture device, multicellular cultures can be established together with compartmentalized oxygen environment modulation. We demonstrate that the proposed compartmentalized organ-on-a-chip structure is suitable for cell culture.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":490,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Microdevices","volume":"24 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10544-022-00634-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4836359","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}

In this study, we report the design and fabrication of a new SCAμTT platform that mitigates autofluorescence and demonstrate its capability in imaging a single cell pair as its mutual junction is stretched. By employing a two-material design using IP-S and IP-Visio, a photoresin with reduced autofluorescence, we show a significant reduction in autofluorescence of the platform. Further, by integrating apertures onto the substrate with a gold coating, the influence of autofluorescence on imaging is almost completely mitigated. With this new platform, we demonstrate the ability to image a pair of epithelial cells as they are stretched up to 250% strain, allowing us to observe junction rupture and F-actin retraction while simultaneously recording the accumulation of over 800 kPa of stress in the junction.

Each group had thirteen electrodes with varying concentrations ranging from 0.1-5wt%. Since CNTs get tangled easily, it becomes necessary to disperse them properly. To achieve optimal dispersion, CNTs were first sonicated with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), and then with PDMS. Mold casting was the technique used for fabricating the electrodes. The results were compared with the conventional ECG electrodes. Best results were achieved from G-III at 3wt% as the value of capacitance is high (0.172nF) as compared to G-I and G-III values at 3wt% which are 0.036nF (0.036nF) and 0.015nF respectively. As capacitance has an inverse relationship with the resistance and impedance, thus at 3wt% the resistance (0.361MΩ) and impedance (0.36MΩ) values are low, which satisfies the relationship. The values of resistance and impedance of G-II are low when compared with the values of G-I and G-II. Great results and ECG waveform are achieved with 3wt% for G-II, which also uses less nanomaterials to produce such great ECG results.
