    Abstract Glycans are essential to all scales of biology, with their intricate structures being crucial for their biological functions. The structural complexity of glycans is communicated through simplified and unified visual representations according to the Symbol Nomenclature for Glycans (SNFGs) guidelines adopted by the community. Here, we introduce GlycoDraw, a Python-native implementation for high-throughput generation of high-quality, SNFG-compliant glycan figures with flexible display options. GlycoDraw is released as part of our glycan analysis ecosystem, glycowork, facilitating integration into existing workflows by enabling fully automated annotation of glycan-related figures and thus assisting the analysis of e.g. differential abundance data or glycomics mass spectra.

    Abstract Glycomics, the comprehensive profiling of all glycan structures in samples, is rapidly expanding to enable insights into physiology and disease mechanisms. However, glycan structure complexity and glycomics data interpretation present challenges, especially for differential expression analysis. Here, we present a framework for differential glycomics expression analysis. Our methodology encompasses specialized and domain-informed methods for data normalization and imputation, glycan motif extraction and quantification, differential expression analysis, motif enrichment analysis, time series analysis, and meta-analytic capabilities, synthesizing results across multiple studies. All methods are integrated into our open-source glycowork package, facilitating performant workflows and user-friendly access. We demonstrate these methods using dedicated simulations and glycomics datasets of N-, O-, lipid-linked, and free glycans. Differential expression tests here focus on human datasets and cancer vs. healthy tissue comparisons. Our rigorous approach allows for robust, reliable, and comprehensive differential expression analyses in glycomics, contributing to advancing glycomics research and its translation to clinical and diagnostic applications.

    Abstract Halide perovskites are highly promising light-harvesting materials with strong ionic character, enabling in principle the combination of a solar cell and a Li-ion battery in one integrated photobattery device. Here, we investigate Li ions inside crystals of CsPbI3 as a prototype compound by means of density-functional-theory calculations. Our findings demonstrate that the interstitial location and migration of Li ions depend strongly on the dynamic nature of the crystal structure of the perovskite compound. We consider two limiting cases for Li in CsPbI3,(i) the cubic-symmetry structure as a model for the limit of fast-ion motion and (ii) a distorted cubic structure as a model for the limit of slow-ion motion. For both limiting cases we obtain moderate energy barriers for migrating Li ions, which highlight the potential of halide perovskites like CsPbI3 for applications in photobattery devices.

    Abstract Marginal maximum likelihood (MML) estimation is the preferred approach to fitting item response theory models in psychometrics due to the MML estimator's consistency, normality, and efficiency as the sample size tends to infinity. However, state-of-the-art MML estimation procedures such as the Metropolis-Hastings Robbins-Monro (MH-RM) algorithm as well as approximate MML estimation procedures such as variational inference (VI) are computationally time-consuming when the sample size and the number of latent factors are very large. In this work, we investigate a deep learning-based VI algorithm for exploratory item factor analysis (IFA) that is computationally fast even in large data sets with many latent factors. The proposed approach applies a deep artificial neural network model called an importance-weighted autoencoder (IWAE) for exploratory IFA. The IWAE approximates the MML estimator using an importance sampling technique wherein increasing the number of importance-weighted (IW) samples drawn during fitting improves the approximation, typically at the cost of decreased computational efficiency. We provide a real data application that recovers results aligning with psychological theory across random starts. Via simulation studies, we show that the IWAE yields more accurate estimates as either the sample size or the number of IW samples increases (although factor correlation and intercepts estimates exhibit some bias) and obtains similar results to MH-RM in less time. Our simulations also suggest that the proposed approach performs similarly to and is potentially faster than constrained joint maximum likelihood estimation, a fast procedure that is consistent when the sample size and the number of items simultaneously tend to infinity.

    Abstract Bone augmentation procedures are frequent today in implant patients, since an implant should be circumferentially anchored in bone at completion of bone healing to have a good long-term stability. The best documented surgical technique to achieve this goal is guided bone regeneration (GBR) utilizing barrier membranes in combination with bone fillers. This clinical review paper reflects 35 years of development and progress with GBR. In the 1990s, GBR was developed by defining the indications for GBR, examining various barrier membranes, bone grafts, and bone substitutes. Complications were identified and reduced by modifications of the surgical technique. Today, the selection criteria for various surgical approaches are much better understood, in particular, in post-extraction implant placement. In the majority of patients, biodegradable collagen membranes are used, mainly for horizontal bone augmentation, whereas bioinert PTFE membranes are preferred for vertical ridge augmentation. The leading surgeons are using a composite graft with autogenous bone chips to accelerate bone formation, in combination with a low-substitution bone filer to better maintain the augmented bone volume over time. In addition, major efforts have been made since the millenium change to reduce surgical trauma and patient morbidity as much as possible. At the end, some open questions related to GBR are discussed.

    Title translation Autologous reconstructive surgery and intestinal rehabilitation in the management of short bowel syndrome.
    Abstract Based on the latest definition, short bowel syndrome is defined as intestinal failure due to the loss of significant small bowel length or function, when the homeostasis and growth can only be maintained with intravenous supplementation of fluid, electrolytes and macronutrients. The natural adaptation of the short bowel can only compensate for the loss up to a certain level. According to this, we differentiate (1) acute, (2) prolonged and (3) chronic types of intestinal failure/short bowel syndrome. The most common causes are necrotising enterocolits, intestinal malrotation and volvulus, gastroschisis and ileal atresia. The management of type 3 short bowel syndrome has evolved significantly during the last decades, due to the multidisciplinary approach, hence the survival and quality of life of the patients have improved and transplantation is rarely necessary. Our aim was to review the most important considerations of intestinal rehabilitation, like management of increased gastrin secretion, high output stoma, decreased transit time, central venous lines, enteral and parenteral nutrition and the enhancement of the natural adaptation. We reviewed the former and the latest options of the autologous intestinal reconstructive surgery (AIRS) like the reversed segment, small bowel interposition, ileocaecal valve replacement, bowel lengthening and tailoring (LILT, STEP and SILT), controlled bowel expansion and the latest results with distraction enterogenesis and tissue engineering.

    Abstract Augmentation cystoplasty is an exemplary multiorgan intervention in urology which is particularly associated with microvascular damage. Our aim was to review the available intravital imaging techniques and data obtained from clinical and experimental microcirculatory studies involving the most important donor organs applied in bladder augmentation. Although numerous direct or indirect methods are available to assess the condition of microvessels the implementation of microcirculatory diagnostic methods in humans is still challenging and the assessment of organ microcirculation in the operating theatre has limitations. Nevertheless, preclinical studies generally report good internal validity and although prospective human protocols with reduced variability are needed, a possible positive impact of microcirculatory diagnostics on the clinical outcomes of urologic surgery can be anticipated.

    Abstract Ultrasound elastography performed under small strain conditions has been intensively studied. However, small deformations may be not sufficiently large to differentiate some abnormal tissues. By combining quasi-static and shear wave elastography, we developed a non-invasive method to estimate the localized stress- strain curve of materials. This method exerts progressive multistep uniaxial compression on the materials, and shear wave measurements were performed at every compression step. This method estimates the 2-D displacements between steps via a 2-D region growing motion tracking method and accumulates these displacements to obtain the large material displacements with respect to the initial configuration. At each step, the shear modulus and stress were calculated according to linear elastic theory. The proposed method was tested on custom-made tissue-mimicking phantoms. Mechanical compression testing was conducted on the samples made of the same material as the phantoms and taken as the reference. The stress-strain curves for the same material from the proposed method and from mechanical testing are in good agreement. The root mean square error (RMSE) and area percentage error (APE) of the stress-strain curve between ultrasound measurement and mechanical testing for soft materials ranged from 0.18 to 0.26 kPa and from 5.6% to 7.8%, respectively. The RMSE and APE for stiff materials ranged from 0.56 to 1.17 kPa and 8.0% to 17.9%. Therefore, our method was able to provide good estimates of the stress-strain curve for tissue-mimicking materials.
