What is being portrayed in this visual content?
IL-16 immunoreactivity is observed confined to T-bet+ cells and active caspase-3+ cells in MS lesions. A) In acute lesions (AL) in MS brain, prominent T-bet+ cells were found in small infiltrates scattered throughout the white matter of parietal lobe. IL-16 immunoreactivity was observed at similar locations within the lesion. DAPI staining indicates that the immunostaining is localized to mononuclear cells. The merged image shows that IL-16 immunoreactivity co-localizes to some T-bet+ cells. The image on the far right shows enlarged detail from the merged image (at arrows), where IL-16 confined to T-bet+ cells (at arrows) can be better appreciated. It also shows a T-bet+ cell, which is IL-16- (arrowhead), and a T-bet-, IL-16- cell (asterisk). B) In an AL of lumbar spinal cord, intense immunostaining for IL-16 and for active caspase-3 is seen in dense perivenular mononuclear cell infiltrates in the white matter. A detail from the merged image (at arrows) is shown in the far right image. Most infiltrating cells exhibit a nuclear pattern of immunostaining for active caspase-3. Some of these active caspse-3+ cells are IL-16+ (at arrows). Note the distinct patterns of IL-16 and active caspase-3 immunostaining. While IL-16 nuclear immunostaining is observed occasionally (asterisk), more often it appears as cytoplasmic or membrane-bound immunostaining, or as secreted product adjacent to cells (at arrows). IL-16 was found frequently between adjoining mononuclear cells (arrowhead). Two color fluorescence × 60.

After reaching the stigma (si), pollen (p) extends a tube through the style (st) to reach the transmitting tract (tt) before entering one of the two ovary (ov) chambers to target an ovule. (b) Upon reaching the ovule, the pollen tube (pt, green) either grows up the funiculus (f) or makes a sharp turn towards the micropyle (m) and enters the ovule. Within the ovule, the pollen tube navigates towards the female gametophyte (gray) encased by outer (o) and inner (i) integuments, lyses within one of the two synergid (s) cells that flank an egg cell (e). Upon lysis, one sperm fertilizes the egg cell to form the zygote and the other fuses with the central cell (c) to form the endosperm. The number of pollen tubes drawn is for illustration purposes only and does not reflect the quantity typically observed in an assay.

(A) Isopotential maps showing the activation sequence (frame 1 to 6) of counterclockwise upper loop reentry in the right posterior oblique view. Color scale for each isopotential map has been set so that white indicates most negative potential and blue indicates least negative potential. The activation wave front propagates down the anterolateral right atrium (RA) near the superior vena cava (SVC) (frame 1) to the middle and inferior anterolateral RA (frame 2), then splits into two wavefronts (frame 3); one passes around the area of functional block, and the other passes through the cavotricuspid isthmus. The wavefront in the lateral RA continue through the gap in the crista terminalis (CT) (frame 4) to the superior posterior RA (frame 5) and activates the atrial wall surrounding the SVC before reactivation of anterolateral RA once again. (B) The virtual electrograms from the area of functional block (virtual 11 to 15) and the CT (virtual 16 to 20) including the conduction gap (virtual 16 to 18) demonstrate double potentials. The numbers 1 to 6 represent the time points at which the isopotential maps have been displayed in A. IVC = inferior vena cava. (Reproduced from Tai CT, Huang JL, Lin YK, et al.

An infant with congenitally corrected transposition (cTGA) developed heart failure with the onset of complete heart block and was paced at 6 weeks of age (a). At 4 years the generator reached its end of life with some remaining lead slack (b). During the generator change, the lead was inadvertently damaged and had to be replaced. Angiography revealed an occluded subclavian vein (c). To avoid the use of large countertraction sheaths from the subclavian approach, a coronary guidewire was passed into the lead stylet channel and was drawn out the femoral sheath with the lead after snaring the lead with the help of a tip deflector wire (d). Over the subclavian-femoral guidewire circuit, a new sheath was placed to implant a new ventricular lead (e).

Laser Doppler perfusion imaging of deep dermal/full-thickness sulfur mustard injuries in a weanling pig model, 8 days after surgery. Sites were exposed to liquid sulfur mustard for 2 hours. Surgery was conducted 48 hours after agent exposure. The site on the left was untreated. The site in the center underwent full-thickness sharp surgical tangential excision followed by autologous split-thickness skin grafting. The site on the right underwent full-thickness laser debridement followed by grafting. Blue areas indicate low blood flux, red areas high blood flux and yellow/green areas intermediate blood flux. Analyses indicated poor blood flow in the untreated area and adequate blood flow in the grafted areas. Graft acceptance rates were equally high between both methods of debridement. Regardless of surgical approach, blood flux levels remained approximately 50% to 60% of normal tissue throughout a 36-day postsurgical observation period.83

What is the central feature of this picture?
Indocyanine green fluorescence imaging of cutaneous sulfur mustard injuries in a weanling pig model, 48 hours after agent exposure. The fluorescence of intravenous indocyanine green has been shown to estimate thermal burn depth in small animals. Indocyanine green fluorescence is capable of distinguishing superficial and deep partial-thickness thermal burns from full-thickness burns. The fluorescence intensity of indocyanine green decreases exponentially with burn depth for thermal burns of similar age. Indocyanine green is a nontoxic and rapidly excreted tricarbocyanine dye that is strongly bound to serum proteins and leaks from patent vessels after an injury-induced increase in vessel permeability. Mean fluorescence levels within superficial injuries are much greater than those in surrounding normal tissue. In deep injuries where blood vessels are occluded, very little dye leaks into the extravascular space; hence mean fluorescence levels within deep injuries are much less than those in surrounding normal tissue. Shown here on the left, a deep dermal/full-thickness injury was generated after exposure to liquid sulfur mustard for 120 minutes, showing very dark patches in the center of the injury, surrounded by a ring of hyperemia. The center lesion is a superficial dermal injury that was generated after a 2-min exposure to sulfur mustard, showing a significant amount of fluorescence indicative of patent blood vessels. The lesion on the right is of intermediate severity. (J. S. Graham et al, unpublished data, 1999)

Peripheral blood smear (B) (600×, Wright-Giemsa) of a representative MPLWT animal displays an unremarkable white blood cell and platelet count. In contrast, peripheral blood smear (A) (600×, Wright-Giemsa) of a representative MPLW515L mutant animal reveals marked thrombocytosis and leukocytosis comprising a predominant population of maturing myeloid cells as well as frequent nucleated erythroid forms. Bone marrow images from MPLWT animals display preserved marrow architecture with maturing trilineage hematopoiesis (D) (600×, hematoxylin and eosin [H&E]). Comparatively, bone marrow sections from MPLW515L mutant animals demonstrate marrow elements comprising a prominent population of maturing myeloid cells with increased numbers of megakaryocytes including atypical and dysplastic forms occurring in frequent clusters (C) (600×, H&E) and showing emperipolesis of neutrophils in megakaryocyte cytoplasm.

Spleen sections from MPLW515L mice display complete effacement of normal splenic architecture (E) (40×, H&E) with a marked expansion of red pulp that is composed of an admixture of maturing myeloid and erythroid elements and numerous numbers of atypical megakaryocytes (G) (600×, H&E) compared with MPLWT spleens (F and H) (40× and 600×, H&E), which display a relative preservation of normal spleen architecture and the presence of only maturing erythroid forms in the red pulp. Liver images from MPLW515L mice illustrate evidence of extensive extramedullary hematopoiesis in a perivascular and sinusoidal distribution (I) (100×, H&E) composed predominantly of a population of maturing erythroid elements with frequent large atypical megakaryocytes and occasional admixed myeloid forms (K) (600×, H&E). In comparison, only small, focal areas of nucleated erythroid cells were observed in livers from MPLWT animals (J and L) (100× and 600×, H&E).

LYVE-1 Immunohistochemical StainingImmunohistochemical staining for LYVE-1 is depicted in surgical sham controls (A) and in lymphedema (B) (black arrows). The lymphedema response is characterized by the presence of numerous dilated microlymphatic structures in the dermis and subdermis. Lymphedema produces a statistically significant increase in average cross-sectional vessel area.
