System-size dependence of strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions at √sNN = 17.3 GeV
(2005)
Emission of pi, K, phi and Lambda was measured in near-central C+C and Si+Si collisions at 158 AGeV beam energy. Together with earlier data for p+p, S+S and Pb+Pb, the system-size dependence of relative strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions is obtained. Its fast rise and the saturation observed at about 60 participating nucleons can be understood as onset of the formation of coherent partonic subsystems of increasing size. PACS numbers: 25.75.-q
Results are presented on Omega production in central Pb+Pb collisions at 40 and 158 AGeV beam energy. Given are transverse-mass spectra, rapidity distributions, and total yields for the sum Omega+Antiomega at 40 AGeV and for Omega and Antiomega separately at 158 AGeV. The yields are strongly under-predicted by the string-hadronic UrQMD model and are in better agreement with predictions from a hadron gas models. PACS numbers: 25.75.Dw
Particle production in central Pb+Pb collisions was studied with the NA49 large acceptance spectrometer at the CERN SPS at beam energies of 20, 30, 40, 80, and 158 GeV per nucleon. A change of the energy dependence is observed around 30A GeV for the yields of pions and strange particles as well as for the shapes of the transverse mass spectra. At present only a reaction scenario with onset of deconfinement is able to reproduce the measurements.
The hadronic final state of central Pb+Pb collisions at 20, 30, 40, 80, and 158 AGeV has been measured by the CERN NA49 collaboration. The mean transverse mass of pions and kaons at midrapidity stays nearly constant in this energy range, whereas at lower energies, at the AGS, a steep increase with beam energy was measured. Compared to p+p collisions as well as to model calculations, anomalies in the energy dependence of pion and kaon production at lower SPS energies are observed. These findings can be explained, assuming that the energy density reached in central A+A collisions at lower SPS energies is sufficient to transform the hot and dense nuclear matter into a deconfined phase.

In der präoperativen Diagnostik fokaler maligner Leberläsionen nimmt die MRT mit Resovist® einen zunehmend höheren Stellenwert ein.
T2 gewichtete TSE- und FS-Sequenzen der Resovist® unterstützten MRT sind dabei sensitiver als die in der präoperativen Diagnostik etablierte CTAP mit Ultravist® 370, einem nichtionischen jodhaltigen Kontrastmittel.
Die visuelle Differenzierung und Charakterisierung fokaler maligner Leberläsionen und deren Abgrenzung vom Leberparenchym in der Resovist® unterstützten MRT kann durch die Analyse der Signalintensitätskurven optimiert werden. Eine effektivere Charakterisierung der fokalen Leberläsionen wirkt sich damit positiv auf die Sensitivität und Spezifität der SPIO verstärkten MRT aus.
Es bleibt daher offen, die Signalintensitäten der primären und sekundären Leberläsionen der hier nicht untersuchten Gewebearten in weiteren Studien zu analysieren.
Desweiteren könnten nachfolgende Untersuchungen das Ziel haben, die Sensitivität und Spezifität der Resovist® unterstützten MRT durch eine Verminderung der Schichtdicke zu verbessern, womit sich die Detektion von Läsionen < 1 cm effektiver gestalten würde.
umanized mouse models have become increasingly valuable tools to study human hematopoiesis and infectious diseases. However, human T-cell differentiation remains inefficient. We generated mice expressing human interleukin-7 (IL-7), a critical growth and survival factor for T cells, under the control of murine IL-7 regulatory elements. After transfer of human cord blood-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, transgenic mice on the NSGW41 background, termed NSGW41hIL7, showed elevated and prolonged human cellularity in the thymus while maintaining physiological ratios of thymocyte subsets. As a consequence, numbers of functional human T cells in the periphery were increased without evidence for pathological lymphoproliferation or aberrant expansion of effector or memory-like T cells. We conclude that the novel NSGW41hIL7 strain represents an optimized mouse model for humanization to better understand human T-cell differentiation in vivo and to generate a human immune system with a better approximation of human lymphocyte ratios.
