What is the focal point of this photograph?
CT scan post contrast media injection reveals a huge low density compressive lesion in the posteromedial mediastinum. Notice the dislodgment of the thoracic vertebral body, the different dimensions of the spinal foramens and the different angles between the vertebral body and the traverse apophyses.

ERK1/2 phosphorylation in wild-type and mutant cultures is required for early wound response. (A–D) Immunolabeling of phospho-ERK1/2, (A) 10 minutes after wounding in Pax6+/+ cultures; (B) 30 minutes after wounding in Pax6+/+ cultures and (C) 10 minutes after wounding in Pax6+/- cultures. (D) Exposing Pax6+/- cells to EGF 90 s before wounding elicited a large phospho-ERK1/2 response after 10 minutes. In all cases, * indicates the wounded region. Scale bars = 100 μm. (E) Western blots of protein lysate of Pax6+/+ and Pax6+/- cultures. The same blot was probed sequentially with antibodies against Pax6, phospho-ERK1/2 (P-ERK1/2), and β-actin. Left hand lane: Pax6+/- cultures with 10 minute EGF exposure as described above. Middle lane: Pax6+/- cultures with no EGF exposure. Right hand lane: control Pax6+/+ cultures. Correcting for the volume of actin staining, phosphor-ERK1/2 staining in control heterozygous cultures was estimated at 80% of wild-type levels. Addition of EGF prior to wounding did not change Pax6 levels in Pax6+/- cultures, but increased phospho-ERK1/2 staining to levels comparable with or greater than Pax6+/+. All samples were taken from pools of at least six corneal epithelial cell cultures treated identically. (F) Rates of wound healing of wild-type and mutant cells with addition of 10 μM U0126 (an inhibitor of phosphor-ERK1/2 signaling), 0.1% DMSO, 15 minutes prior to wounding (U), or with addition of U0126 prior to wounding and replacement of drug in fresh medium every 2 hours (U*), or Pax6+/+ and Pax6+/- cultures with addition of 0.1% DMSO only. (*, p < 0.01 compared with wild-type control).

The inset shows higher magnification of the ind/vnd border in the region of st2-brk expression, which is consistently shifted dorsally by 1−2 cells within the stripe of brk expression. This shift is most clearly revealed by a consistent flattening of what is normally a continuous arc in the ind/vnd border at the position of st2-brk expression. The inset also shows that vnd expression extends up to the ind border and that there is no gap between these gene expression domains. We quantitated the shift in the ind/vnd border in nine st2-brk and nine wild-type embryos by counting the number of ind negative cells above a line spanning the ventral border of ind expression in the head and abdomen comprising a zone four cells wide centered within the st2 domain (or its approximate corresponding position in wild-type embryos). ind is better than vnd for performing this measurement since the ventral ind border is sharper (i.e., more all-or-none) than the dorsal vnd border. This analysis reveals that in st2-brk embryos there is an average of 5.4 ± 2.65 ind negative (vnd positive) cells above the line (which corresponds to an average shift of the ind/vnd border of 5.4/4 = 1.35 cells dorsally). In contrast, for control wild-type embryos we counted an average of 0.44 ± 0.88 cells above the line corresponding to an average of 0.11 cells. This represents a 10-fold difference between wild-type and st2-brk embryos, which is highly significant in a students' t-test (p < 0.0003).(G) Lateral view of a slightly older embryo than that shown in (F) showing a significant dorsal shift of the msh/ind border and a smaller shift of the ind/vnd border. The carets in (F and G) indicate the approximate trajectories of the ind/vnd and msh/ind borders in wild-type embryos.(H) Dorsal view of the same embryo shown in (G) revealing that msh expression expands to the dorsal midline.

In the right note the portal and hepatic veins, their course and the better identification of several anatomic details. Recognition of the enhancing lesion in 8th segment is improved (open arrow in the right image). It is clear on the subtracted image after registration that the round zone of enhancement in 4th segment is not a focal lesion but a branching portal ramus (white arrow in the right image). Finally, the high signal intensity artifact on the lateral and anterior margins of the liver disappears after registration (arrows in the left image).

What can you see in this picture?
Oregon Green labeled fibrinogen (0.5 mg/ml; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) was treated with thrombin (1.25 U) in the presence of 4 mM GPRP-NH2 to produce fluorescently labeled sFn. A375 cells were incubated with labeled sFn for 20 min in a Bioptechs FCS2 enclosed stage incubator. The residual sFn was washed away by perfusion and the cells were imaged on an Olympus BX61 fluorescence microscope equipped with a long pass 535 nm dichroic filter. Considerable binding of sFn was observed. A is a representative image showing tumor cell sFn binding. In contrast, little or no binding was observed when cells were pre-incubated with peptides P1 + P2 (B), or sFn with P3 + P4 (C). Similarly, sFn bound readily to monocytes (D), but was inhibited when cells were pre-incubated with P1 + P2 (E), or sFn was pre-treated with P3 + P4 (F).

What stands out most in this visual?
Transaxial magnetic resonance images at the levels of mid-calf (top slice images) and mid-thigh (bottom slice images) of the subjects in the study. Bright/white signals in these images are highlighting adipose tissue within these anatomical sections. Dark signals represent either muscle tissue within sections or the background of the images. Subject GL2784 is a healthy 24 year old woman whose MRI showed no infiltrated fat into calf muscle, and only small amount of infiltration in the thigh. Subject GL2990 is a normal 50 year old woman who had somewhat increased subcutaneous (sc) fat in the calves and mid-thigh with slightly more infiltration of fat into the muscle compared to the images of subject GL2784. Subject GL0658 is a 49 year old FPLD3 patient (heterozygous for mutation PPARG F388L) whose scans show moderate loss of sc fat in both the calves and mid thigh and moderate levels of fat infiltration. Subject GL0096 is a 63 year old FPLD2 patient (heterozygous for mutation LMNA R482Q) whose scan shows total sc fat loss in the calves, major sc fat loss in the mid-thigh and marbled appearance of muscle tissue due to severe amounts of fat being stored within the muscle.

Scale bars: 50 μm for (A–F), (H–J); 250 μm for (K) and (O); 100 μm for (G), (L–N), (P–R); 20 μm for (Q′).

What does this image primarily show?
Grading of the Supratesticular Lymphatic Vessel Dilation of Filarial-Infected Patients Displayed by USGDilation of the supratesticular lymphatic vessels was determined by measuring the largest diameter detectable in the two-dimensional b-mode of a portable ultrasound machine. A grading system was developed to determine the degree of lymphatic dilation as follows: (A) category 1: patients with minimal lymphatic dilation of up to 0.2 cm; (B) category 2: patients with mild dilation from 0.21–0.50 cm; (C) category 3: patients with moderate dilation from 0.51–1.0 cm; and (D) category 4: patients with severe dilation of above 1.0 cm.

What is the main focus of this visual representation?
HCV NS3/4A colocalizes with Cardif at mitochondrial membrane. The localization of HCV proteins and Cardif was studied in Huh7 cells. The cells were transfected with HCV protein expression constructs (NS3/4A, core or NS5A) and 48 h later cells were fixed and stained. The colocalization was visualised by confocal microscopy. Cells were stained for Cardif (endogenous) (A, D, G, J), mitochondria with Mitotracker Red 580 (B), NS3/4A (E), core (H) and NS5A (K) and the signals were merged (C, F, I, L).
