    Abstract Besides human red blood cells (RBC), a standard model used in AFM-single cell force spectroscopy (SCFS), little is known about apparent Young's modulus (Ea) or adhesion of animal RBCs displaying distinct cellular features. To close this knowledge gap, we probed chicken, horse, camel, and human fetal RBCs and compared data with human adults serving as a repository for future studies. Additionally, we assessed how measurements are affected under physiological conditions (species-specific temperature in autologous plasma vs. 25 °C in aqueous NaCl solution). In all RBC types, Ea decreased with increasing temperature irrespective of the suspension medium. In mammalian RBCs, adhesion increased with elevated temperatures and scaled with reported membrane sialic acid concentrations. In chicken only adhesion decreased with higher temperature, which we attribute to the lower AE-1 concentration allowing more membrane undulations. Ea decreased further in plasma at every test temperature, and adhesion was completely abolished, pointing to functional cell enlargement by adsorption of plasma components. This halo elevated RBC size by several hundreds of nanometers, blunted the thermal input, and will affect the coupling of RBCs with the flowing plasma. The study evidences the presence of a RBC surface layer and discusses the tremendous effects when RBCs are probed at physiological conditions.

    Abstract Tendinopathy, a prevalent overuse injury, lacks effective treatment options, leading to a significant impact on quality of life and socioeconomic burden. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their secretome, including conditioned medium (CM) and extracellular vesicles (EVs), have shown promise in tissue regeneration and immunomodulation. However, it remains unclear which components of the secretome contribute to their therapeutic effects. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of CM, EVs, and the soluble protein fraction (PF) in treating inflamed tenocytes. CM exhibited the highest protein and particle concentrations, followed by PF and EVs. Inflammation significantly altered gene expression in tenocytes, with CM showing the most distinct separation from the inflamed control group. Treatment with CM resulted in the most significant differential gene expression, with both upregulated and downregulated genes related to inflammation and tissue regeneration. EV treatment also demonstrated a therapeutic effect, albeit to a lesser extent. These findings suggest that CM holds superior therapeutic efficacy compared with its EV fraction alone, emphasizing the importance of the complete secretome in tendon injury treatment.

    Abstract We introduced a new approach in selective laser sintering for hybrid multicomponent systems by fabricating the sintered polyamide 12 (PA12) part directly onto a similar (PA12) or dissimilar (polyamide 6 (PA6) and tool steel 1.2709) joining partner. Thus, the need for adhesive substances or joining pressure was completely circumvented, leading to the possibility of pure hybrid lightweight bi-polymer or metal-polymer systems. By taking advantage of the heating capabilities of the sinter laser regarding the substrate surface, different exposure strategies circumvented the lack of overlapping melting temperatures of dissimilar polymers. Therefore, even sintering on non-PA12 polymers was made possible. Finally, the transfer on metallic substrates-made up by selective laser melting (SLM)-was successfully performed, closing the gap between two powder-based additive processes, selective laser sintering (SLS) and SLM.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer and the third most common cause of cancer-related death, with tumour associated liver endothelial cells being thought to be major drivers in HCC progression. This study aims to compare the gene expression profiles of tumour endothelial cells from the liver with endothelial cells from non-tumour liver tissue, to identify perturbed biologic functions, co-expression modules, and potentially drugable hub genes that could give rise to novel therapeutic targets and strategies. Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) showed that cell growth-related pathways were upregulated, whereas apoptosis induction, immune and inflammatory-related pathways were downregulated in tumour endothelial cells. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified several modules strongly associated to tumour endothelial cells or angiogenic activated endothelial cells with high endoglin (

    Abstract Introduction: Physical therapy education has an acute need for effective leaders due to multiple factors, including increasing numbers of programs and retirement of experienced leaders. Recognizing the need for formal leadership education, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) developed a fellowship in physical therapy educational leadership in 2011. This study aimed to understand participants' perceptions of their leadership experience and the role of the APTA fellowship.
    Literature review: A commonly reported approach to evaluating leadership education programs was designed by Kirkpatrick.
    Participants: Twenty-five fellowship graduates from 2012 to 2019 participated.
    Methods: We used a qualitative methodological approach incorporating a heuristic technique to gain an understanding of fellowship graduates' long-term perspectives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
    Results: Three themes were constructed using a journey metaphor: embarking on the journey, engaging in the journey, and realizing the effects of the journey. 1) Embarking on the journey included 2 subthemes: a) participants' personal aspirations as career planners, reluctant leaders, or explorers; and b) institutions' goals for a change in leadership or intentional succession planning. 2) Engaging in the journey included 3 subthemes: a) the fellowship learning environment builds a sense of community; b) consideration of leadership frames influences participants' thinking about leadership; and c) participants' institutional environment influences their learning. 3) Effects of the journey included 3 subthemes: a) personal growth as a leader including personal awareness and confidence; b) institutions' benefits from participants' leadership projects and increased engagement in institutional leadership; and c) physical therapy professions' gains from participants' seeking leadership positions in professional organizations.
    Discussion/conclusions: The APTA Fellowship in Educational Leadership results in transformative change of participants as leaders. Findings offer guidance to individuals considering embarking on a leadership journey and institutions considering how to prepare and support emerging leaders in physical therapy education.

    Abstract The lung can experience different oxygen concentrations, low as in hypoxia, high as under supplemental oxygen therapy, or oscillating during intermittent hypoxia as in obstructive sleep apnea or intermittent hypoxia/hyperoxia due to cyclic atelectasis in the ventilated patient. This study aimed to characterize the oxygen-condition-specific protein composition of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells in vitro to decipher their potential role in biotrauma using quantitative proteomics with bioinformatic evaluation, transmission electron microscopy, flow cytometry, and non-activated thromboelastometry (NATEM). The release of vesicles enriched in markers CD9/CD63/CD81 was enhanced under intermittent hypoxia, strong hyperoxia and intermittent hypoxia/hyperoxia. Particles with exposed phosphatidylserine were increased under intermittent hypoxia. A small portion of vesicles were tissue factor-positive, which was enhanced under intermittent hypoxia and intermittent hypoxia/hyperoxia. EVs from treatment with intermittent hypoxia induced a significant reduction of Clotting Time in NATEM analysis compared to EVs isolated after normoxic exposure, while after intermittent hypoxia/hyperoxia, tissue factor in EVs seems to be inactive. Gene set enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that EVs from individual oxygen conditions potentially induce different biological processes such as an inflammatory response under strong hyperoxia and intermittent hypoxia/hyperoxia and enhancement of tumor invasiveness under intermittent hypoxia.

    Abstract Background: Following resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), inflammatory markers are significantly elevated and associated with hemodynamic instability and organ dysfunction. Vasopressor support is recommended to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) above 65 mmHg. Glucocorticoids have anti-inflammatory effects and may lower the need for vasopressors. This study aimed to assess the hemodynamic effects of prehospital high-dose glucocorticoid treatment in resuscitated comatose OHCA patients.
    Methods: The STEROHCA trial was a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial comparing one prehospital injection of methylprednisolone 250 mg with placebo immediately after resuscitated OHCA. In this sub-study, we included patients who remained comatose at admission and survived until intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The primary outcome was cumulated norepinephrine use from ICU admission until 48 h reported as mcg/kg/min. Secondary outcomes included hemodynamic status characterized by MAP, heart rate, vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS), and the VIS/MAP-ratio as well as cardiac function assessed by pulmonary artery catheter measurements. Linear mixed-model analyses were performed to evaluate mean differences between treatment groups at all follow-up times.
    Results: A total of 114 comatose OHCA patients were included (glucocorticoid: n = 56, placebo: n = 58) in the sub-study. There were no differences in outcomes at ICU admission. From the time of ICU admission up to 48 h post-admission, patients in the glucocorticoid group cumulated a lower norepinephrine use (mean difference - 0.04 mcg/kg/min, 95% CI - 0.07 to - 0.01, p = 0.02). Moreover, after 12-24 h post-admission, the glucocorticoid group demonstrated a higher MAP with mean differences ranging from 6 to 7 mmHg (95% CIs from 1 to 12), a lower VIS (mean differences from - 4.2 to - 3.8, 95% CIs from - 8.1 to 0.3), and a lower VIS/MAP ratio (mean differences from - 0.10 to - 0.07, 95% CIs from - 0.16 to - 0.01), while there were no major differences in heart rate (mean differences from - 4 to - 3, 95% CIs from - 11 to 3). These treatment differences between groups were also present 30-48 h post-admission but to a smaller extent and with increased statistical uncertainty. No differences were found in pulmonary artery catheter measurements between groups.
    Conclusions: Prehospital treatment with high-dose glucocorticoid was associated with reduced norepinephrine use in resuscitated OHCA patients.

    Abstract Metabolomics is an emerging and powerful bioanalytical method supporting clinical investigations. Serum and plasma are commonly used without rational prioritization. Serum is collected after blood coagulation, a complex biochemical process involving active platelet metabolism. This may affect the metabolome and increase the variance, as platelet counts and function may vary substantially in individuals. A multiomics approach systematically investigating the suitability of serum and plasma for clinical studies demonstrated that metabolites correlated well (
