Paired associative stimulation enforces the communication between interconnected areas.

Authors:
Domenica Veniero Viviana Ponzo Giacomo Koch

J Neurosci 2013 Aug;33(34):13773-83

Santa Lucia Foundation Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico, Rome, Italy.

Paired associative stimulation (PAS) protocols induce forms of spike-timing-dependent-plasticity (STDP) when paired pulses are repeatedly applied with different timing over interconnected cortical areas such as the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and the primary motor cortex (M1). However, the assessment of PAS effects is usually limited to M1 through recording of motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude. Here, by combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with EEG we aimed at investigating PAS effects over both areas (PPC, M1) and the modulation induced on their connectivity in humans. In different PAS conditions, PPC preceded or followed M1 TMS by 5 ms. We found that TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) changed differently according to the long-term depression (LTD) or potentiation (LTP) after-effect assessed by MEPs, but did not vary at PPC level. Moreover, there was no change in local oscillatory power. However, there was a remarkable increase of coherence between the PPC and the M1 areas. When the PAS protocol induced LTD as revealed by MEPs, there was a specific increase of the coherence between PPC and M1 within the beta band. On the contrary, when PAS induced LTP, the coherence crucially increased in the alpha band. The same LTP results were confirmed when rotating the stimulating coil in M1 during the PAS protocol. In conclusion, we report new evidence that opposite STDP-like effects induced by corticocortical PAS are associated with increased communication between involved brain areas and that antithetic forms of STDP-like after-effects result in distinct cortical rhythms connectivity changes.

An Anterior Anastomosis for the Modified Fontan Connection: A Hemodynamic Analysis.

Authors:
Zhenglun Alan Wei Kanishka Ratnayaka Biao Si Shelly Singh-Gryzbon Maria A Cetatoiu Mark A Fogel Timothy Slesnick Ajit P Yoganathan John J Nigro

Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2021 Mar 1. Epub 2021 Mar 1.

Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Rady Children's Hospital and UC San Diego School of Medicine, 3020 Children's Way, San Diego, CA.

This hemodynamic feasibility study examined total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) designs connecting the extra-cardiac conduit to the anterior surface of pulmonary arteries (PAs) or superior vena cava (SVC) rather than to the inferior PA surface (traditional TCPC). The study involved twenty-five consecutive Fontan patients meeting inclusion criteria from a single institution. A virtual surgical platform mimicked the completed traditional TCPC and generated three anterior anastomosis designs: Anterior-PA, Middle-SVC, and SVC-Inn (Inn: innominate vein). Read More

Two-photon microperimetry with picosecond pulses.

Authors:
Marcin J Marzejon Łukasz Kornaszewski Jakub Bogusławski Piotr Ciąćka Miłosz Martynow Grażyna Palczewska Sebastian Maćkowski Krzysztof Palczewski Maciej Wojtkowski Katarzyna Komar

Biomed Opt Express 2021 Jan 17;12(1):462-479. Epub 2020 Dec 17.

International Centre for Translational Eye Research, Institute of Physical Chemistry, PAS, Skierniewicka 10a, 01-230 Warszawa, Poland.

Two-photon vision is a phenomenon associated with the perception of short pulses of near-infrared radiation (900-1200 nm) as a visible light. It is caused by the nonlinear process of two-photon absorption by visual pigments. Here we present results showing the influence of pulse duration and repetition rate of short pulsed lasers on the visual threshold. Read More

Response to Letter to the editor of Borradori et. al. How to diagnose bullous pemphigoid and its variants: the question is still open.

Authors:
Joost M Meijer Gilles F H Diercks Hendri H Pas

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2021 Mar 3. Epub 2021 Mar 3.

University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Department of Dermatology, Center for Blistering Diseases, Groningen, the Netherlands.

With interest we read the recent letter by Borradori and colleagues, giving their opinion on how to diagnose bullous pemphigoid and its variants. The discussion about diagnosis of pemphigoid diseases has been continuous and is needful, since no evidence based diagnostic criteria are established yet and more than 20% of patients with bullous pemphigoid do not present with initial skin blistering. In the nonbullous pemphigoid variant clinical features are not as recognizable as in typical bullous pemphigoid and histopathology is often non-specific, opposing a real diagnostic challenge and potential diagnostic delay.

Cyano-Functionalized Quinoxaline-Based Polymer Acceptors for All-Polymer Solar Cells and Organic Transistors.

ChemSusChem 2021 Mar 2. Epub 2021 Mar 2.

Chung-Ang University - Seoul Campus: Chung-Ang University, School of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, KOREA, REPUBLIC OF.

Quinoxaline (Qx) derivatives are promising building units for efficient photovoltaic polymers owing to their strong light absorption and high charge-transport abilities, but they have been used exclusively in the construction of polymer donors. Herein, for the first time, we report Qx-based polymer acceptors (PAs) by introducing electron-withdrawing cyano (CN) groups into the Qx moiety (QxCN). A series of QxCN-based PAs, P(QxCN-T2), P(QxCN-TVT), and P(QxCN-T3), are synthesized by copolymerizing QxCN unit with bithiophene, (E)-1,2-di(thiophene-2-yl)ethene, and terthiophene, respectively.
