- Extreme-ultraviolet to x-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) in operation for scientific applications are up to now single-user facilities. While most FELs generate around 100 photon pulses per second, FLASH at DESY can deliver almost two orders of magnitude more pulses in this time span due to its superconducting accelerator technology. This makes the facility a prime candidate to realize the next step in FELs-dividing the electron pulse trains into several FEL lines and delivering photon pulses to several users at the same time. Hence, FLASH has been extended with a second undulator line and self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) is demonstrated in both FELs simultaneously. FLASH can now deliver MHz pulse trains to two user experiments in parallel with individually selected photon beam characteristics. First results of the capabilities of this extension are shown with emphasis on independent variation of wavelength, repetition rate, and photon pulse length.

Microsatellite instability in young patients with rectal cancer: molecular findings and treatment response
- 2022
-
Ingår i: The British journal of surgery. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 1365-2168 .- 0007-1323. ; 109:3, s. 251-255

- In this study of 400 patients with early-onset rectal cancer, 12.5 per cent demonstrated microsatellite instability (MSI). MSI was associated with a reduced likelihood of nodal positivity, an increased rate of pathological complete response, and improved disease-specific survival.

- In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), neutrophil granulocytes fuel inflammation and damage tissue in the joint by releasing cytotoxic agents, antimicrobial peptides, proteases and other inflammatory mediators. The human cathelicidin LL-37 has recently been implicated in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus and psoriasis.ObjectiveTo elucidate if antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) contribute to the pathogenesis of arthritis.MethodsExpression of LL-37 was determined in synovial membranes from patients with arthritis and control subjects. Expression of the rat cathelicidin rCRAMP and defensins was characterised in joints, blood and secondary lymphoid organs during pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) in rats and in a transfer model of PIA induced by CD4 T cells. Serum samples of rats with arthritis were tested for IgG and IgM autoantibodies against rCRAMP by immunoblot and for interferon (IFNα) by ELISA.ResultsCathelicidins are strongly upregulated in RA synovial membranes and in joints from rats with arthritis as compared with healthy joints. Expression was most prominent in neutrophil granulocytes and macrophages/osteoclasts. Cathelicidin expression is also upregulated in the blood and spleen of pristane-injected rats, with strongest expression detected in activated CD62L− cells coexpressing granulocyte and monocyte markers. Pristane injection caused accumulation of low-density granulocytes in the blood. After pristane injection, the increased expression of rCRAMP coincided with higher levels of cell death, raised levels of interferon (IFN)α and development of autoantibodies.ConclusionsOur results show strong upregulation of cathelicidins and β-defensins coinciding with pathological events of arthritis. Higher expression and release of AMPs might contribute to development and/or maintenance of disease by systemic or local mechanisms.

Pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome - a joint scientific statement from the Heart Failure Association Takotsubo Syndrome Study Group and Myocardial Function Working Group of the European Society of Cardiology - Part 1: overview and the central role for catecholamines and sympathetic nervous system

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This is the first part of a scientific statement from the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the European Society of Cardiology focused upon the pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome and is complimentary to the previous HFA position statement on Takotsubo syndrome which focused upon clinical management. In part 1 we provide an overview of the pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome and fundamental questions to consider. We then review and discuss the central role of catecholamines and the sympathetic nervous system in the pathophysiology, and the direct effects of high surges in catecholamines upon myocardial biology including beta-adrenergic receptor signalling, G-protein coupled receptor kinases, cardiomyocyte calcium physiology, myofilament physiology, cardiomyocyte gene expression, myocardial electrophysiology and arrhythmogenicity, myocardial inflammation, metabolism and energetics. The integrated effects upon ventricular haemodynamics are discussed and integrated into the pathophysiological model.

Human chromosome 7: DNA sequence and biology

Ingår i: Science (New York, N.Y.). - : American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). - 1095-9203 .- 0036-8075. ; 300:5620, s. 767-772

- DNA sequence and annotation of the entire human chromosome 7, encompassing nearly 158 million nucleotides of DNA and 1917 gene structures, are presented. To generate a higher order description, additional structural features such as imprinted genes, fragile sites, and segmental duplications were integrated at the level of the DNA sequence with medical genetic data, including 440 chromosome rearrangement breakpoints associated with disease. This approach enabled the discovery of candidate genes for developmental diseases including autism.
