Nivelen luu-rustorajapinnan mikrometritason kudosmuutoksien tutkiminen nivelrikon eri vaiheissa
No full textAbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease that causes disability in the adult population. While the etiology and pathogenesis of OA remain unclear, it is now commonly accepted that the entire joint is affected by OA. The deep zone of hyaline articular cartilage, calcified cartilage, and cortical subchondral bone plate form the osteochondral junction that is specially adapted to transferring loads during weight-bearing and joint motion. Although the OA-related changes in articular cartilage and subchondral trabecular bone have been extensively studied, the changes in the osteochondral junction, especially in the calcified cartilage, remain under explored.Calcified cartilage is a relatively thin tissue layer and has a similar mineral phase to the underlying bone. Hence, it is a major challenge to quantitively study calcified cartilage separately from the whole osteochondral junction, due to the limitations in spatial resolution and the contrast of current microscopic imaging modalities. Therefore, this doctoral dissertation aims to study the biochemical composition, mineral crystal structure, micromechanical and structural properties of calcified cartilage, and the subchondral bone plate in healthy and osteoarthritic knee joints in vitro.Raman microspectroscopy was used to investigate biochemical composition from unfixed and fully hydrated human osteochondral specimens. State-of-the-art micro-focus small-angle X-ray scattering (μSAXS) measurements were performed to map the mineral crystal thickness across the junction. Finally, a bovine patella model was utilized to explore the micromechanical changes in the junction as a function of degeneration and associate these changes with site-specific microstructure.Results show that calcified cartilage had a higher degree of mineralization, with thicker mineral crystals having greater stoichiometric perfection in a proteoglycan-rich matrix than underlying bone. The alterations in the degree of mineralization, type-B carbonate substitutions, mineral crystal thickness, tissue stiffness, and microstructure in both calcified cartilage and subchondral bone plate were observed during OA development. Some of these changes were found to occur at the very early stages of OA. In conclusion, this study shows that both mineralized tissues at the osteochondral junction undergo marked alterations during the evolution of OA, contributing to our current understanding of OA.Original papersOriginal papers are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.Das Gupta, S., Finnilä, M.

Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations

(Hemiptera: Reduviidae) on the host plant Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (Moraceae), coll. H. M. Yeshwanth, registration number - UASB01827065. Paratypes: 3f#, 1m # (NBAIR) [same data as holotype], registration number - NBAIR/Ptero/Klab/81017B −E; 2f#, (UAS-B (GKVK campus)) [same data as holotype], codes- UASB01827066, UASB01827067; 2f#, (ZSI (Kozhikode)) [same data as holotype], registration number ZSI/WGRC/IR/INV/10346). Etymology. The species name is derived from the country name from where it was collected. Biology. Reared from eggs of an assassin bug Endochus sp. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) (Fig. 6) on the host plant Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. (Moraceae). The unparasitized eggs are also shown (Fig. 7). The host egg mass contained 30 eggs, from which 29 females and 1 male of K. indica emerged. Remarks. The new species is most similar to K. ferox in general morphology especially in the shape of head with tentorial pits less distinct in the form of smaller pits (cf. Fig. 2A and Bouček 1976, fig. 28). They are also similar in having large ocelli, similar antennae which are situated high on the face, fore wing with basal cell closed below by cubital hairline, and similar body sculpture. However, K. indica differs from K. ferox in general colour of body which is more metallic blue rather dark green, POL 2.1× diameter of lateral ocellus, which is little more than its own diameter from the eye margin, mesosoma 1.34−1.54× as long as broad, fore wing with a very slender speculum (Fig. 2D), MV 0.85× PMV, PMV 1.96× STV and body length 1.6 mm (in K. ferox body dark green, POL nearly twice diameter of lateral ocellus, which is less than half its diameter from eye margin, mesosoma about twice as long broad, fore wing with speculum broad and MV longer than PMV (Bouček 1976, cf. fig. 31), STV 0.42× MV, and body length 2 mm). Females of K. austini, K. cabra and K. watshami not only differ somewhat in head shape but also in having deep and distinct tentorial pits. In K. cabra these are united in a continuous groove quite close to the oral margin (Bouček 1988, fig. 755), whereas in K. austini (Bouček 1988, fig. 754) and in K. watshami (Bouček 1976, fig. 30) they are in the form of short, divergent grooves. The antennae are also inserted much closer to the middle of the head in these last two species than for K. indica. Similarity in head shape between females (Fig. 2A) and males (Fig. 5A) of K. indica suggest that males of the other three species will be similar to conspecific females and thus also readily differentiated from K. indica males.Published as part of Gupta, Ankita, Yeshwanth, H.
