ThT (Sigma, product no. T3516) was dissolved in PBS buffer and was filtered through a 0.2 µm syringe filter. Then the concentration of thioflavin T was determined using an extinction coefficient of 36 mM−1 cm−1 at 412 nm [27 ,28 (link)].
For measurement of ThT fluorescence without proteins, various concentrations of ThT were prepared in PBS using serial dilution. Forty microlitres of ThT sample at each concentration was transferred to a black 384-well Nonbinding Surface microplate with clear bottom (Corning product no. 3655). The ThT fluorescence was measured at room temperature (approx. 24°C) using a Victor 3 V plate reader (Perkin Elmer) through the bottom of the plate with excitation filter of 450 nm and emission filter of 490 nm.
For measurement of ThT fluorescence in the presence of amyloid fibrils, various concentrations of sonicated Aβ40, Aβ42 and Ure2 fibrils were also prepared using serial dilution. Then 20 µl of ThT was mixed with 20 µl of sonicated fibrils to achieve desired concentrations of ThT and amyloid. Fluorescence measurements were performed as described above.

After obtaining informed consent in accordance with our institutional guidelines, we scanned five healthy right-handed male volunteers aged between 24 and 32 y (mean = 29.4, S.D. = 3.4). Imaging was performed on an Achieva 3T Philips scanner using a diffusion weighted single-shot EPI sequence with a TR of 4,200 ms and a TE of 89 ms. The maximum diffusion gradient intensity was 80 mT/m, the gradient duration δ was 32.5 ms and the diffusion time Δ was 43.5, yielding a maximal b-value of 9,000 s/mm2. Q-space was sampled over 129 points located inside a hemispherical area of a cubic lattice, by varying the diffusion gradient intensity and direction such that q = aqx + bqy + cqz, (where a, b, and c are integers such that
≤ 4; qx, qy, and qz denote the unit diffusion sensitizing gradient vectors in the three respective coordinate directions; and q = γδg, where γ is the gyromagnetic ratio and g is the gradient strength (mT/m). The axial field of view was set to 224 by 224 mm and the acquisition matrix was 112 by 112, yielding an in-plane resolution of 2 × 2 mm. Parallel imaging was used with our eight-channel head coil with a reduction factor of 3. 36 contiguous slices of 3-mm thickness were acquired in two blocks resulting in an acquisition time of 18 minutes. In addition, a high resolution T1-weighted gradient echo sequence was acquired in a matrix of 512 × 512 × 128 voxels of isotropic 1-mm resolution.
Data reconstruction was performed according to a DSI protocol [26 ,27 (link),51 (link)]. In every brain position, the diffusion probability density function (PDF) was reconstructed by taking the discrete 3D Fourier transform of the signal modulus symmetric around the center of q-space. The signal was pre-multiplied by a Hanning window before Fourier transformation in order to ensure smooth attenuation of the signal at high |q| values. The 3D PDF was normalized by dividing by its integral at every voxel. The orientation distribution function (ODF) φ was derived directly from the PDF by taking a radial summation of the 3D PDF p(r):
where ρ is the radius and u is a unit direction vector. The integral was evaluated as a discrete sum over the range ρ ∈ [0,5]. The ODF is defined on a discrete sphere and captures the diffusion “intensity” in every direction. It was evaluated for a set of vectors ui that are the vertices of a tessellated sphere with mean nearest-neighbor separation approximately 10°. The result was a diffusion map composed of ODFs at every location in the brain. The ODFs were represented as deformed spheres with the radius proportional to φ(u).

The CNN-based organ segmentation in CT studies in RECOMIA has been used in multiple studies [7 (link)–12 (link)]. These studies were approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board (#295/08) and were performed following the Declaration of Helsinki. Patients and image acquisition have been described previously [7 (link), 8 (link), 10 , 11 (link)].
A group of experienced radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians manually segmented different organs using the RECOMIA platform. The organs included 77 bones and 23 soft tissue organs (Table 1). Not all organs were annotated in all CT studies, which had to be handled in the training process. A dataset of approximately 13,000 manual organ segmentations in 339 images was used to train the CNNs.

A separate test set of 10 patients (5 male/5 female) was used to test the method and obtain data on inter-observer variability. Each test case was segmented independently by two different readers. Ten organs (prostate only for male patients) were segmented in each CT study.
All images used for training, validation, and test had a pixel spacing of 1.36 mm in slices and a distance between slices of 3 mm. Images with different pixel spacing can still be segmented by resampling the images using trilinear interpolation before running the networks. The resulting segmentation is then resampled to the image resolution using the nearest neighbour interpolation.

Two MIMUs (Opal, APDM) featuring a tri-axial accelerometer, a tri-axial gyroscope and a tri-axial magnetometer (unit weight 22 g, unit size 48.5 mm × 36.5 mm × 13.5 mm) were used. Sampling frequency was set at 128 Hz and accelerometer range at ±6 g. MIMUs were attached to the subject ankles (about 20 mm above the malleolus) with X, Y and Z axes pointing downward, forward and to the right, respectively (Figure 1). The physical quantities (proper accelerations, angular velocities and magnetic field vector) are measured with respect to the axes of a local frame aligned to the edges of the unit housing. An estimate of the MIMU local coordinate system (LCS) orientation with respect to the global coordinate system (GCS) was provided by the APDM proprietary software. A spot check of the MIMU performance was performed according to the guidelines proposed by [46 (link)].A gait pressure mat (GAITRite Electronic Walkway, CIR System Inc) acquiring at 120 Hz (spatial resolution accuracy: ±12.7 mm; temporal accuracy: ±1 sample) was used for validation purposes (Figure 1). The instrumented mat returned all GEs, temporal and spatial parameters under analysis. The MIMUs and the instrumented mat were synchronized (±1 sample).

Subject wearing two MIMUs attached above the ankles and walking on the instrumented mat used as gold standard for MIMU based estimates of gait spatio-temporal parameters.

All rats that were used for pharmacological infusions were implanted bilaterally in Prh with 22-gauge indwelling guide cannulas. Subjects were anesthetized with ketamine (Holliday, 74 mg/kg, i.p.) and xylazine (Konig, 7.4 mg/kg, i.p.) and placed in a stereotaxic frame (David Kopf Instruments, Tujunga, CA, USA) with the incisor bar set at −3.2 mm. Guide cannulas were implanted according to the following coordinates, measured relative to the skull at bregma (Paxinos and Watson, 1998 (link)) anteroposterior −5.5 mm, lateral ± 6.6 mm, dorsoventral −7.1 mm. The cannulas were secured to the skull using dental acrylic. Obturators, cut to sit flush with the tip of the guide cannulas and with an outer diameter of 0.36 mm, were inserted into the guides and remained there until the first infusions. At the completion of each surgery, an antibiotic was applied for 3 days (Enrofloxacin; 0.27 mg kg-1, Vetanco, Arg). Animals were given approximately 7 days to recover before behavioral testing and drug infusions.

The drugs used for latent MTrPs injection containing vitamin B12 (JinYao Corp, Tianjin City, China; 2 ml:1 mg), 2% lidocaine injection (ZhaoHui Corp, Shanghai City, China; 5 ml:100 mg), and compound betamethasone injection (MSD Merck Sharp & Dohme AG, Switzerland; 1 ml: 5 mg betamethasone dipropionate and 2 mg betamethasone sodium phosphate) were diluted to 20 ml with 0.9% saline for a single injection. Injection of latent MTrPs was performed using needle 25 (0.5 mm × 36 mm) and a 20 ml syringe (We Go Corp, Weihai City, China).
The latent MTrPs were mainly found in the sternoclavicular joint, sternocleidomastoid, medial or lateral pterygoid muscles, and splenius capitis muscles by palpation (Figure 1). However, it was difficult to palpate when some trigger points were hidden in muscles, and the final therapeutic effects depend on the accuracy of palpated points (16 (link)). Accurate signs of latent MTrPs can be confirmed by the patient showing “jumping signs,” which may include head retraction, fascial (or forehead) wrinkles, verbal responses, or local twitch responses (LTRs) (11 (link), 12 (link)). Palpation and injection of latent MTrPs were performed according to Travell and Simons’ “Trigger Point Manual” (17 ).

Pre-selected proportions of lipid excipients, co-solvent, and drugs were weighed in preparation for compounding of the formulations (Table 1). Each TOF10-BUD4 suppository contained 10 mg tofacitinib citrate and 4 mg budesonide, whereas each TOF5-BUD2 suppository contained 5 mg tofacitinib citrate and 2 mg budesonide. 4 and 2 mg budesonide dosing in suppositories has been previously reported in the literature (Kruis et al., 2019 (link); Kruis et al., 2022 ). Tofacitinib citrate is currently available in 2 oral doses; 10 and 5 mg. As there are currently no rectal forms of tofacitinib citrate commercially available (Electronic Medicines Compendium, 2022 ), its UC oral doses were adopted in this study.

Summary of the compositions of the formulations used for printing the suppositories.

Selected ratios of excipients were melted at 75 °C in a 100 mL glass beaker, positioned on a Super-Nuova Multi-Position Digital Stirring Hotplate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, USA) under magnetic stirring (500 rpm). Once the mixture was completely melted, selected amounts of the drugs were added, whilst keeping the mixture under magnetic stirring until complete solubilisation of the drugs was achieved. Upon solubilisation, the formulation was directly transferred to a 20 mL Injekt® disposable syringe (Braun, Germany) and placed in a −20 °C freezer to solidify. Once solid, a tapered 0.024″ - 0.61 mm extrusion tip (Fisnar, UK) was attached to the end of the syringe which was then positioned into the SSE printhead of the M3DIMAKER 2 3D printer (FabRx Ltd., UK). Previously prepared 3D models (Dimensions: 12 mm × 36 mm) of the suppositories were transformed into .gcode files by means of Cura software (v 15.04.6, Ultimaker Utrecht, Netherlands) and printed using the following parameters: 29 °C printing temperature; 0.5 mm layer height; 2.4 mm shell thickness; 25 mm/s flow speed. As the printing temperature was close to room temperature, an evaporative air cooler (Igenix, UK) was placed in front of the 3D printer during the printing process and set at fan speed 3 to ensure printing consistency despite changes in the atmospheric temperature. Following printing, the 3D printed suppositories were transferred into a 4 °C fridge and allowed to solidify, and subsequently weighed and stored in a −20 °C freezer. This temperature was selected since it is typically used for budesonide's storge, ensuring its stability within the suppositories.

Protein isolation from platelets from PRP was performed according to Leoncini et al. [19 (link)]. Briefly, for each platelet sample, centrifugation was performed at 1200x g for 20 min and the pellet was washed twice in 36 mM citric acid buffer containing 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, and 5 mM glucose at pH 6.5 [18 (link)]. The platelet pellet was then minced in 700 µL of protein extraction buffer [20 (link)], the obtained homogenate was centrifuged at 12000x g for 5 min at 4 °C to remove particulate matter, and the supernatant was stored at -70 °C [19 (link)]. The Bradford method was used to measure the protein concentration of each sample [20 (link)]. Five samples were used for each study group.

Cobble substrate covered with periphytic algae was collected from a reach of Clear Creek (Jefferson County, Colorado, USA) which has high levels of Zn contamination from historical mining activities. In order to produce non-contaminated cultures used as control and acute exposure groups, substrate was placed in 1 cm of water containing Guillard's growth medium (Guillard 1975 ) fortified with 1.36 mM silicon using dissolved sodium meta-silicate 9-hydrate in 11.2 cm × 6 cm polyvinyl chloride (PVC) troughs. Solutions were renewed daily. Pumps (Rio 600, Taam Inc., Camarillo, California, USA) provided a recirculating flow of 757 L/hr. Periphytic algae was cultured on 6.25 cm2, unglazed porcelain tiles (Cinca Tile Co., Fiães, Portugal). Tiles were arranged close together in culture trays to limit algal growth to the top surface, thereby producing uniform mats. Cultures received 12 h cycles of wide spectrum (Ecolux Plant & Aquarium Wide Spectrum, F40PL/AQ-ECO, General Electric Inc., Boston MA, USA) light. Culture tanks were positioned under two rows of the paired T12 florescent bulbs such that each tile was 120 cm and 150 cm (± 15 cm) from each pair of lights. Zn-cultured periphyton tiles (i.e., chronic exposure group) were prepared as above but with zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) added to growth media of Zn-contaminated cultures to a concentration of 1600 µg/L in order to produce concentrations similar to those found in a survey of Colorado mountain streams (Schmidt et al. 2011 ). Surface area of culture tanks was scrubbed weekly, and a subset (20%) of tiles were replaced with new acid washed tiles to ensure periphytic algae had ample surface area to colonize. All cultures were maintained for three weeks prior to use in any exposure testing or analysis. Throughout the growth period, one water sample was taken from control and Zn treated troughs once every four days to measure aqueous Zn. Periphyton communities were dominated by Scenedesmus spp. (personal communication, Sarah Spaulding, United States Geological Survey, Boulder, Colorado, USA).
Immediately following the three-week growth period, a subset of tiles cultured in Zn (n = 4) and non-contaminated cultures (n = 4) were processed for subcellular fractionation to assess chronic exposure to Zn as well as growth in control conditions. Using a flow-through system, a subset of non-contaminated cultures was then bathed in 1600 µg/L Zn for either 15 min, 24 h, or 48 h to reflect episodic exposure likely to occur downstream of metal-contaminated landscapes as well as approximate common techniques used when preparing contaminated algae used in dietary toxicity trials (Irving et al. 2003 (link); Conley et al. 2009 (link); Xie et al. 2010 (link)). The flow-through system consisted of an 850 mL, circular artificial stream (Brinkman and Johnston 2008 (link)). Aqueous Zn samples were collected from the artificial stream at 0 min, 15 min, 24 h, and 48 h to ensure stable Zn exposure. Following acute exposure, four tiles from each group were processed for subcellular fractionation. All preparation methods/exposure regimes are listed in Table 1.
