    Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Extracellular Vesicles for Skin Wound Healing

    No full text
    Skin is vulnerable to various external insults such as burn, severe injury, or inflammation, which necessitates a better strategy for wound repair. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can self-renew and differentiate into various supporting tissues including cartilage, bone, muscle, and adipose tissue. Along with their unique multipotent capacity, they secrete various paracrine mediators such as growth factors, cytokines, and membrane-enclosed particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs). Herein, we discussed the general traits of EVs such as cell-to-cell communicator, and highlighted the recent preclinical outcomes, with a focus on the application of MSC-derived EVs in wound repair. This chapter provides insights into developing novel strategies for skin wound healing in a cell-free manner.N

    “The Power of Ethical Leadership”: The Influence of Corporate Social Responsibility on Creativity, the Mediating Function of Psychological Safety, and the Moderating Role of Ethical Leadership

    A body of existing literature delves into how corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects employees’ cognition, emotion, and behavior within an organization. These previous studies, however, pay relatively little attention to the influence of CSR on levels of creativity in employees. Considering that creativity is closely related to innovative capability, which is critical for a firm to survive, the relationship between CSR and employees’ creativity and its elaborate underlying processes need further investigation. Based on a group creativity model, we argue that CSR may increase levels of creativity in employees through mediation of enhanced levels of psychological safety in employees. In addition, existing works on CSR have relatively underexplored the contextual role of leadership in translating CSR practices into employees’ attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors. Using three-wave time-lagged survey data from 311 employees in South Korea, we found that CSR enhances employees’ creativity via mediation of psychological safety. Additionally, ethical leadership positively moderates the relationship between CSR and psychological safety. Our findings suggest that psychological safety in employees functions as an important underlying mechanism to describe the CSR–employee creativity link. Furthermore, this paper emphasizes the importance of the moderating role of ethical leadership in the process of CSR activities

    PURPOSEWe aimed to describe our initial experience with percutaneous transthoracic localization (PTL) of pulmonary nodules using a C-arm cone-beam CT (CBCT) virtual navigation guidance system.METHODSFrom February 2013 to March 2014, 79 consecutive patients (mean age, 61±10 years) with 81 solid or ground-glass nodules (mean size, 12.36±7.21 mm; range, 4.8–25 mm) underwent PTLs prior to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) excision under CBCT virtual navigation guidance using lipiodol (mean volume, 0.18±0.04 mL). Their procedural details, radiation dose, and complication rates were described.RESULTSAll 81 target nodules were successfully localized within 10 mm (mean distance, 2.54±3.24 mm) from the lipiodol markings. Mean number of CT acquisitions was 3.2±0.7, total procedure time was 14.6±5.14 min, and estimated radiation exposure during the localization was 5.21±2.51 mSv. Postprocedural complications occurred in 14 cases (17.3%); complications were minimal pneumothorax (n=10, 12.3%), parenchymal hemorrhage (n=3, 3.7%), and a small amount of hemoptysis (n=1, 1.2%). All target nodules were completely resected; pathologic diagnosis included invasive adenocarcinoma (n=53), adenocarcinoma-in-situ (n=10), atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (n=4), metastasis (n=7), and benign lesions (n=7).CONCLUSIONPTL procedures can be performed safely and accurately under the guidance of a CBCT virtual navigation system

    ISAR imaging and cross-range scaling of high-speed manoeuvring target with complex motion via compressive sensing

    No full text
    For targets with extreme manoeuvres, inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging suffers from translational motion (TM), which is modelled as a one-dimensional (1D) phase error, and non-uniform rotational motion (RM), which is a multidimensional (MD) phase error that causes severe blurring in ISAR images. Full-aperture data collection is often unachievable because of interference with other radar activities, resulting in sparse-aperture (SA) data. In this study, the authors present a new framework for SA-ISAR imaging and cross-range scaling for manoeuvring targets based on compressive sensing. Instead of solving conventional optimisation problems constrained by a sparsity of signals, the proposed method utilises the sensing-matrix estimation technique for ISAR image reconstruction using parametric signal-model reconstruction. To do this, it looks for basis functions that best represent the behaviour of a sensing-dictionary matrix comprising the observed SA data. The sensing-matrix reconstruction is based on a modified orthogonal matching pursuit-type basis function-searching scheme. Finally, they generate a well-focused and scaled ISAR image from the recovered complete ISAR signal using the conventional Fourier transform after the removal of signals corresponding to 1D TM and MD RM phase errors. They utilise both simulated and real measured datasets to confirm the effectiveness of proposed method.113sciescopu

    Engineered bioclogging in sands: comparison of microbially induced and enzyme-induced biopolymer formation

    No full text
    This study presents two methods of producing an insoluble biopolymer, the microbially induced biopolymer formation (MIBF) and enzyme-induced biopolymer formation (EIBF) and explores their ability to reduce hydraulic conductivity and cause bioclogging in soil from pore to column scales. The batch experiments confirm that insoluble polysaccharidic biopolymers, dextran, are successfully produced either by the model bacteria or by the extracted cell-free enzyme. The results show that the EIBF method is more efficient in producing biopolymer and reducing hydraulic conductivity compared to the MIBF method. This study also uses microfluidic chips, which reveals the pore-filling behavior of biopolymers produced by both methods. EIBF produces larger dextran flocs than MIBF, and hence EIBF lowers the hydraulic conductivity more than MIBF for a given pore occupancy of dextran. Column experiments demonstrate that both MIBF and EIBF can significantly lower the hydraulic conductivity of coarse sands by two orders of magnitude with only 3% biopolymer pore saturation. The presented results suggest that both methods have the potential to induce well-controlled, engineered bioclogging in coarse-grained soils, and have applications in various geotechnical practices, such as sealing leakage in water-front structures, installing hydraulic barriers, and mitigating soil erosion.
