Abstract
Adipose tissue (AT) adapts to overnutrition in a complex process, wherein specialized immune cells remove and replace dysfunctional and stressed adipocytes with new fat cells. Among immune cells recruited to AT, lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) have emerged as key players in obesity and in diseases involving lipid stress and inflammation. Here, we show that LAMs selectively express transmembrane 4 L six family member 19 (TM4SF19), a lysosomal protein that represses acidification through its interaction with Vacuolar-ATPase. Inactivation of TM4SF19 elevates lysosomal acidification and accelerates the clearance of dying/dead adipocytes in vitro and in vivo. TM4SF19 deletion reduces the LAM accumulation and increases the proportion of restorative macrophages in AT of male mice fed a high-fat diet. Importantly, male mice lacking TM4SF19 adapt to high-fat feeding through adipocyte hyperplasia, rather than hypertrophy. This adaptation significantly improves local and systemic insulin sensitivity, and energy expenditure, offering a potential avenue to combat obesity-related metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) For adaptive radiation therapy (ART), the contours on the planning CT (pCT) are frequently propagated to cone-beam CT (CBCT) via deformable image registration and manually edited, which is observer-dependent and time-consuming. To automate this process, we created a fully automated workflow by combining a deep learning (DL)-based pCT segmentation model with a CT-to-CBCT registration-segmentation DL model. The purpose of our research is to determine how using the proposed workflow's automatically generated contours affects thoracic organs-at-risk sparing (OAR). MATERIALS/METHODS Seven patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer who underwent treatment with intensity modulated radiation therapy were included in this study. Each patient's pCT was segmented using a published DL model that has been used for generating thoracic OAR segmentation and radiotherapy planning in the clinic since July of 2020. Next, pCT was deformably registered using a published recurrent deep registration-segmentation method. Whereas the original method's segmentation sub-network was only trained to segment esophagus, the registration sub-network was used to propagate contours for heart, esophagus, and the proximal bronchial tree (PBT). Geometric segmentation accuracy using the Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and the 95th percentile Hausdorff Distance (HD) and dose metrics including the mean esophageal dose (MED) and D90% of the heart (D90) were computed from the total accumulated dose for the first two weeks of treatment. RESULTS The esophagus had a high DSC and a low HD (0.93 and 2.85mm) and conversely, the heart had lower accuracy (DSC = 0.85, HD = 22.06mm). PBT showed relatively high performance as well, with DSC of 0.91 and HD of 2.28mm, owing to its proximity to the esophagus. The accumulated MED for manual contour was slightly lower than AI-contours (11.34 vs 11.83 Gy), suggesting reliability of the proposed workflow. The reverse is seen for the D90 of the heart (manual = 1.74 and AI-contour = 1.56 Gy), likely due to the heart not being included in the original DL framework. CONCLUSION This study reported preliminary results on the feasibility of using a fully automated and patient-specific workflow for CBCT auto-segmentation in ART, confirming its role as a geometrically and dosimetrically accurate solution for thoracic OARs. However, because it is currently limited to the esophagus, we believe that re-training the algorithm will increase confidence in other OARs such as the heart and lungs.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Accurate tumor segmentation on weekly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is critical for image-guided and adaptive radiation therapy (ART). In thoracic RT, low image contrast, imaging artifact, and geometry and image modality differences from the planning CT (pCT) typically limits accurate tumor segmentation and registration. Here, we explored the clinical feasibility of using 3D recurrent registration-segmentation deep learning (DL) that combines patient-specific anatomic and shape context from higher contrast pCT and planning contours (PACs) for tumor segmentation on during treatment CBCTs. MATERIALS/METHODS We included the pCT and CBCTs from six patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) who had underwent RT. Cases were selected with a primary GTV contoured and labeled separately from the nodal GTV. Using rigidly aligned pCT and CBCT as inputs, DL auto-segmented the GTV on week 1 and 6 CBCTs, and these auto-segmented contours were manually inspected by a radiation oncologist that edited the GTV according to clinical standard quality. The Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), Hausdorff distance (HD95), mean surface distance (MSD), surface DSC (sDSC) and added path length (APL) were used to quantitively compare the DL and the edited GTV. RESULTS The primary GTV was in the right lung in five cases, and left lung in one case. Manual adjustments were typically made at the interface of GTV and lung parenchyma with partial inclusion of adjacent vessels. Hypodensities within the GTV were sometimes not segmented in all axial slices resulting in discontinuous components. The quantitative comparison between the edited and DL-generated GTV is shown in Table 1. For week 1, the average DSC and HD95 were 0.87 and 6.94 mm, respectively. The performance for week 6 was slightly lower than week 1, with a DSC of 0.85 and HD95 of 7.22 mm. CONCLUSION The agreement with the generated DL GTV and the edited GTV was high in week 1 and decreased somewhat later during the treatment course possibly due to a higher impact of geometric changes in tumor and adjacent structures. The proposed DL algorithm showed reasonable performance throughout the treatment, supporting its potential for use into clinical routine for LA-NSCLC.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of APIC, a mixture containing soy isoflavone and L-carnitine on running endurance. Male C57BL/6 mice were orally administered APIC for 8 weeks. The APIC group exhibited a significant increase in treadmill running time until exhaustion compared to the control group. The respiratory exchange ratio in the APIC group was lower, indicating an enhancement in fatty acid oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, APIC supplementation increased the proportion of oxidative myofibers. Biochemical parameters associated with endurance capacity were also affected by APIC, as evidenced by increased muscle ATP levels and decreased levels of muscle triglycerides and blood lactate. qPCR and immunoblot analysis of C2C12 myotubes and gastrocnemius muscles indicated that APIC treatment stimulated AMPK signaling, mitochondrial biogenesis, and fatty acid metabolism. Additionally, treatment with APIC led to an increased oxygen consumption rate in C2C12 myotubes. Collectively, these findings suggest that APIC supplementation enhances mitochondrial biogenesis, promotes a switch from glycolytic to oxidative fiber types, and improves fatty acid metabolism through the activation of the AMPK signaling pathway in murine skeletal muscle. Ultimately, these effects contribute to the enhancement of running endurance.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Current practice in reference internal dosimetry assumes a fixed upright standing posture is maintained throughout the dose-integration period. Recently, the mesh-type ICRP adult reference computational phantoms were transformed into different body postures (e.g., sitting, squatting) for use in occupational dose reconstruction applications. Here, for the first time, we apply this phantom series to the study of organ dose estimates following radionuclide intake. We consider the specific cases of 137 Cs and 134 Cs ingestion (accidental/occupational intake) with attention to variability in absorbed dose as a function of posture. The ICRP Publication 137 systemic biokinetic model for soluble cesium ingestion was used to compute organ-level time-integrated activity coefficients for reference adults, over a 50-y dose-integration period, for 134 Cs and 137 Cs (and its radioactive progeny 137m Ba). Mean posture time-allocations (h d -1 for standing, sitting, and lying) were taken from published survey data. In accord with modern dosimetry formalisms (e.g., MIRD, ICRP), a posture weighting factor was introduced that accounts for the fraction of time spent within each independent posture. Absorbed dose coefficients were computed using PHITS Monte Carlo simulations. ICRP 103 tissue weighting factors were applied along with the posture weighting factors to obtain committed effective dose per unit intake (Sv Bq -1 ). For 137 Cs ingestion, most organ absorbed dose coefficients were negligibly to marginally higher (< ~3%) for sitting or crouched (lying fetal/semi-fetal) postures maintained over the dose commitment period, relative to the upright standing posture. The committed effective dose coefficients were 1.3 × 10 -8 Sv Bq -1 137 Cs for standing, sitting, or crouched postures; thus, the posture-weighted committed effective dose was not significantly different than the committed effective dose for a maintained upright standing posture. For 134 Cs ingestion, most organ absorbed dose coefficients for the sitting and crouched postures were significantly larger than the standing posture, but the differences were still considered minor (< ~8% for most organs). The committed effective dose coefficients were 1.2 × 10 -8 Sv Bq -1 134 Cs for the standing posture and 1.3 × 10 -8 Sv Bq -1 134 Cs for the sitting or crouched posture. The posture-weighted committed effective dose was 1.3 × 10 -8 Sv Bq -1 134 Cs. Body posture has minor influence on organ-level absorbed dose coefficients and committed effective dose for ingestion of soluble 137 Cs or 134 Cs.

Abstract
AIM To assess whether routine cerebrovascular imaging is required in all major trauma (MT) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS All MT patients with cerebrovascular imaging between January 2015 and December 2020 were included in the study. Data were collated regarding the type of indication for computed tomography (CT) angiography imaging, time interval from the initial trauma, relevant trauma diagnoses on initial trauma imaging, and CT angiography. Findings, such as aneurysms, vascular malformations, luminal thrombus, venous sinus thrombosis, or vascular injury, were collated. Subsequent treatment with anti-coagulants/anti-platelets or surgical/radiological intervention was noted. Follow-up imaging was assessed for residual injury or complications. RESULTS Two hundred and fifty of the 6,251 MT patients underwent dedicated cerebrovascular imaging and were included in the study. Of these 41 (16.4%) had cervical artery or venous sinus injury. Further positive vascular findings were identified in 25/250 patients who presented with an incidental stroke or a vascular abnormality and were mislabelled as MT patients at presentation. One patient with a carotid injury subsequently died following a large infarction. Another patient with vertebral artery injury suffered a non-lethal stroke. No patients underwent surgery or intervention. CONCLUSION The present study showed that the overall incidence of detected blunt cerebrovascular injuries was very low (0.6%) and even lower for symptomatic vascular injury (0.03%). Routine cerebrovascular imaging is not recommended in all MT trauma patients, but instead, a continued case-by-case basis should be considered.

Abstract
Excessive fat accumulation is a risk factor for metabolic diseases. Activating non-shivering thermogenesis in adipose tissue increases energy expenditure and potentially reverses obesity-related metabolic dysfunctions. While brown/beige adipocytes specialize in non-shivering thermogenesis and catabolic lipid metabolism, thermogenic stimuli and pharmacological intervention can induce the recruitment and metabolic activation of these cell types in adipose tissue. Thus, these adipocytes are attractive therapeutic targets to combat obesity, and there is an increasing need for efficient screening strategies for thermogenic drugs. Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector A (CIDEA) is a well-known marker of the thermogenic capacity of brown and beige adipocytes. We recently developed a CIDEA reporter mouse model that expresses multicistronic mRNAs encoding CIDEA, luciferase 2, and tdTomato proteins under endogenous Cidea promoter control. Here, we introduce the CIDEA reporter model system as a tool for in vitro and in vivo screening of drug candidate molecules with thermogenic effects and provide a detailed protocol to monitor CIDEA reporter expression.

Abstract
Various studies have looked at the efficiency of artificial vessel and tissue networks in the study of photoplethysmography (PPG) in an effort to better understand the origin of various morphological features present in the signal. Whilst there are all reasonable attempts made to replicate geometrical features such as vessel depth, vessel wall thickness and diameter etc., not many studies have attempted to replicate the mechanical properties such as vessel elasticity and tissue compressibility. This study reports two methods for tissue mechanical testing for the analysis of vessel elasticity and tissue compressibility. A two-part polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was used as a base material for both tissue and vessel construction, and the properties altered by changing the curing component ratio. Tissue compression properties were investigated using an industrially calibrated materials testing device using the protocol from the ASTM 0575-91 testing method. Vessel elasticity was investigated using a custom method and apparatus to report vessel diameter and length change simultaneously. Tissue compressive properties proved reasonably easy to replicate through catalyst alteration, however the vessel elasticity properties were found to be higher than expected at all reasonable catalyst ratios. The property of hyper-elasticity was observed in the artificial vessels though, leading to the conclusion that alternative material recipes or construction methods may be needed to correctly replicate the expected mechanical characteristics. Clinical Relevance- The latest generation of health monitoring devices, especially those that are wearable and used widely by individuals wishing to monitor their health daily are becoming smarter and more sophisticated in their functionality. The majority of such devices use photoplethysmography (PPG) as their primary monitoring technique. Being able to replicate the PPG in a phantom allows the continued study and development of devices, and to improve their functionality without the continued need for extensive user-testing.

Abstract
Adipose tissue macrophages are a major immune cell type contributing to homeostatic maintenance and pathological adipose tissue remodeling. However, the mechanisms underlying macrophage recruitment and polarization in adipose tissue during obesity remain poorly understood. Previous studies have suggested that the gap junctional protein, connexin 43 (Cx43), plays a critical role in macrophage activation and phagocytosis. Herein, we investigated the macrophage-specific roles of Cx43 in high fat diet (HFD)-induced pathological remodeling of adipose tissue. Expression levels of Cx43 were upregulated in macrophages co-cultured with dying adipocytes in vitro, as well as in macrophages associated with dying adipocytes in the adipose tissue of HFD-fed mice. Cx43 knockdown reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ATP release from macrophages and decreased inflammatory responses of macrophages co-cultured with dying adipocytes. Based on global gene expression profiling, macrophage-specific Cx43-knockout (Cx43-MKO) mice were resistant to HFD-induced inflammatory responses in adipose tissue, potentially via P2X7-mediated signaling pathways. Cx43-MKO mice exhibited reduced HFD-induced macrophage recruitment in adipose tissue. Moreover, Cx43-MKO mice showed reduced inflammasome activation in adipose tissues and improved glucose tolerance. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Cx43 expression in macrophages facilitates inflammasome activation, which, in turn, contributes to HFD-induced metabolic dysfunction.

INTRODUCTION The mobilization and catabolism of lipid energy is a central function of adipocytes that is under the control of the β-adrenergic signaling pathway, and defects in β-adrenergic signaling in adipocytes have been linked to obesity and obesity-related metabolic diseases. Receptor expression-enhancing proteins (REEPs) are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins that play critical roles in subcellular targeting of receptor signaling complexes. Examination of gene expression profiles indicates that, among REEPs expressed in adipocytes, REEP6 expression is uniquely upregulated by sympathetic nervous system activation, suggesting involvement in regulating adrenergic signal transduction. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of REEP6 to the thermogenic activation of adipocytes and characterize the metabolic consequences of REEP6 deficiency in vivo. METHODS Expression levels of Reep6 in adipose tissue were examined by using public transcriptomic data and validated by Western blot and qPCR analyses. Adipocyte-specific regulatory roles of REEP6 were investigated in vitro in C3H10T1/2 adipocytes and in primary adipocytes obtained from REEP6 KO mice. Effects of in vivo REEP6 deficiency on energy expenditure were measured by indirect calorimetry. Mitochondrial content in adipose tissue was accessed by immunoblot, mitochondrial DNA analysis, and confocal and electron microscopy. Effects of REEP6 KO on obesity-induced metabolic dysfunction were tested in a high-fat diet-induced obesity mouse model by glucose tolerance test, Western blot, and histological analyses. RESULTS REEP6 expression is highly enriched in murine adipocytes and is sharply upregulated upon adipocyte differentiation and by cold exposure. Inactivation of REEP6 in mice increased adiposity, and reduced energy expenditure and cold tolerance. REEP6 KO severely reduced protein kinase A-mediated signaling in BAT and greatly reduced mitochondrial mass. The effect of REEP6 inactivation on diminished β-adrenergic signaling was reproduced in cultured adipocytes, indicating that this effect is cell-autonomous. REEP6 KO also suppressed expression of adenylate cyclase 3 (Adcy3) in brown adipose tissue and knockdown of REEP6 in adipocytes reduced targeting of ADCY3 to the plasma membrane. Lastly, REEP6 KO exacerbated high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance and inflammation in adipose tissue. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that REEP6 plays an important role in β-adrenergic signal transduction in adipocytes involving the expression and trafficking of Adcy3. Genetic inactivation of REEP6 reduces energy expenditure, increases adiposity, and the susceptibility to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction.

Abstract
Transmembrane 4 L six family member 5 (TM4SF5) functions as a sensor for lysosomal arginine levels and activates the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). While the mTORC1 signaling pathway plays a key role in adipose tissue metabolism, the regulatory function of TM4SF5 in adipocytes remains unclear. In this study we aimed to establish a TM4SF5 knockout (KO) mouse model and investigated the effects of TM4SF5 KO on mTORC1 signaling-mediated autophagy and mitochondrial metabolism in adipose tissue. TM4SF5 expression was higher in inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) than in brown adipose tissue and significantly upregulated by a high-fat diet (HFD). TM4SF5 KO reduced mTORC1 activation and enhanced autophagy and lipolysis in adipocytes. RNA sequencing analysis of TM4SF5 KO mouse iWAT showed that the expression of genes involved in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α signaling pathways and mitochondrial oxidative metabolism was upregulated. Consequently, TM4SF5 KO reduced adiposity and increased energy expenditure and mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. TM4SF5 KO prevented HFD-induced glucose intolerance and inflammation in adipose tissue. Collectively, the results of our study demonstrate that TM4SF5 regulates autophagy and lipid catabolism in adipose tissue and suggest that TM4SF5 could be therapeutically targeted for the treatment of obesity-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Obesity reduces adipocyte mitochondrial function, and expanding adipocyte oxidative capacity is an emerging strategy to improve systemic metabolism. Here, we report that serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 (STK3) and STK4 are key physiological suppressors of mitochondrial capacity in brown, beige and white adipose tissues. Levels of STK3 and STK4, kinases in the Hippo signalling pathway, are greater in white than brown adipose tissues, and levels in brown adipose tissue are suppressed by cold exposure and greatly elevated by surgical denervation. Genetic inactivation of Stk3 and Stk4 increases mitochondrial mass and function, stabilizes uncoupling protein 1 in beige adipose tissue and confers resistance to metabolic dysfunction induced by high-fat diet feeding. Mechanistically, STK3 and STK4 increase adipocyte mitophagy in part by regulating the phosphorylation and dimerization status of the mitophagy receptor BNIP3. STK3 and STK4 expression levels are elevated in human obesity, and pharmacological inhibition improves metabolic profiles in a mouse model of obesity, suggesting STK3 and STK4 as potential targets for treating obesity-related diseases.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a primary bioactive phytochemical in green tea. Its therapeutic potential in metabolic diseases has been reported; however, the molecular mechanisms of the anti-obesity effect of EGCG have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examined the effects of EGCG on lipid metabolism and autophagy in adipose tissue. After 8 weeks of high-fat diet feeding, mice were treated with EGCG (20 mg/kg/day) for 2 weeks to test in vivo anti-obesity effects of EGCG. EGCG treatment improved glucose tolerance and caused body weight loss. Interestingly, reduced adipose tissue mass was more prominent in visceral compared to subcutaneous white adipose tissue. Mechanistically, EGCG treatment increased autophagic flux in white adipose tissue through the AMP-activated protein kinase-mediated signaling pathway. Adipocyte-specific knockout of Beclin1 mitigated the effects of EGCG on visceral adipose tissue mass and glucose tolerance, indicating that the anti-obesity effect of EGCG requires Beclin1-dependent autophagy. Collectively, our data demonstrated that EGCG has anti-obesity effects through the upregulation of Beclin1-dependent autophagy and lipid catabolism in white adipose tissue (WAT).

Abstract
Soy isoflavones are bioactive phytoestrogens with known health benefits. Soybean embryo extract (SEE) has been consumed as a source of isoflavones, mainly daidzein, glycitein, and genistein. While previous studies have reported the anti-obesity effects of SEE, this study investigates their molecular mechanisms and the synergistic effects of co-treatment with SEE and enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ). SEE upregulated genes involved in lipolysis and brown adipocyte markers and increased mitochondrial content in differentiated C3H10T1/2 adipocytes in vitro. Next, we use a high-fat diet-induced obesity mouse model to determine the anti-obesity effect of SEE. Two weeks of single or combined treatment with SEE and EMIQ significantly reduced body weight gain and improved glucose tolerance. Mechanistically, SEE treatment increased mitochondrial content and upregulated genes involved in lipolysis in adipose tissue through the cAMP/PKA-dependent signaling pathway. These effects required a cytosolic lipase adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) expression, confirmed by an adipocyte-specific ATGL knockout mouse study. Collectively, this study demonstrates that SEE exerts anti-obesity effects through the activation of adipose tissue metabolism and exhibits a synergistic effect of co-treatment with EMIQ. These results improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the anti-obesity effects of SEE related to adipose tissue metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of citations an article receives is a reassuring marker for its influence in the academic world. OBJECTIVE We aimed to discover characteristics of dermatology articles that may impact their citation. METHODS This cross-sectional study collected and analyzed articles published between January and June 2013 from ten highest impact dermatology journals. The study included manuscript characteristics i.e. the length of an article, the presence of visual aids, accessibility, originality, and clarity. Citation analysis statistics required multiple tools such as linear regression, point-biserial correlation, Spearman's rank-order correlation, and Kruskal-Wallis to determine the association between these study variables and the number of citations of articles. RESULTS Of 748 articles included in our study, the number of citations ranged from 0 to 814 (median: 18), with weak positive correlations to the length of manuscript (word count: rs 0.3, p<0.001; pages: rs 0.3, p<0.001). Having a structured abstract (rpb -0.15, p<0.001) and increasing number of references (rs -0.26, p<0.001) showed a negative correlation. Studies originating in North America were associated with higher citations, followed by Europe and Asia (p<0.001). Review articles had a higher number of citations (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS We found that the number of words and the number of pages within a dermatology manuscript had the strongest positive correlation for a higher citation count. The results of this study can benefit authors who may improve the citation of their articles by utilizing this bibliometric study when assembling their manuscript.

Abstract
Viable but nonculturable (VBNC) Vibrio parahaemolyticus cannot be detected by the standard cultivation-based methods. In this study, commonly used viability assessment methods were evaluated for the detection of V. parahaemolyticus in a VBNC state. Vibrio parahaemolyticus cells exposed to nutrient deficiency at cold temperature were used for epifluorescence microscopy with SYTO9 and propidium iodide (PI) staining and real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with propidium monoazide (PMA), and its resuscitative ability was determined by a temperature upshift in freshly prepared artificial sea water (ASW; pH 7) fluids. Viable cells with intact membranes always exceeded 5·0 log CFU per ml in ASW microcosms at 4°C. After 80 days, cycle thresholds for V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 27969 were 16·15-16·69. During cold-starvation, PMA qPCR selectively excluded DNAs from heat-killed cells. However, there may be some penetration of PMA into undamaged cells that persisted in ASW for 150 days, as evidenced by their ability to resuscitate from a VBNC state after a temperature upshift (25°C); V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 33844 and V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 27969 were successfully reactivated from a VBNC state in ASW microcosms containing <5% NaCl, following enrichment in ASW medium (pH 7). SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Few studies have evaluated the characteristics of and detection methods for viable but nonculturable (VBNC) Vibrio parahaemolyticus induced by cold-starvation. Currently, VBNC cells are routinely detected by SYTO9 and propidium iodide double staining. However, viable cell counts might be overestimated by this approach, suggesting that the fluorescence dyes may be ineffective for accurately determining the viability of bacterial cells. We demonstrated that quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction with propidium monoazide, which selectively permeates damaged cell membranes, can be used to obtain viable cell counts of V. parahaemolyticus after its evolution to a VBNC state under cold-starvation conditions.

Abstract
Committee 2 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has constructed mesh-type adult reference computational phantoms by converting the voxel-type ICRP Publication 110 adult reference computational phantoms to a high-quality mesh format, and adding those tissues that were below the image resolution of the voxel phantoms and therefore not included in the Publication 110 phantoms. The new mesh phantoms include all the necessary source and target tissues for effective dose calculations, including the 8-40-µm-thick target layers of the alimentary and respiratory tract organs, thereby obviating the need for supplemental organ-specific stylised models (e.g. respiratory airways, alimentary tract organ walls and stem cell layers, lens of the eye, and skin basal layer). To see the impact of the new mesh-type reference phantoms, dose coefficients for some selected external and internal exposures were calculated and compared with the current reference values in ICRP Publications 116 and 133, which were calculated by employing the Publication 110 phantoms and the supplemental stylised models. The new mesh phantoms were also used to calculate dose coefficients for industrial radiography sources near the body, which can be used to estimate the organ doses of the worker who is accidentally exposed by an industrial radiography source; in these calculations, the mesh phantoms were deformed to reflect the size of the worker, and also to evaluate the effect of posture on dose coefficients.

Abstract
A compact all-in-line graphene-based distributed feedback Bragg-grating fiber laser (GDFB-FL) with narrow linewidth of hundreds kHz is demonstrated and investigated in this study. Performing as an optical saturable absorber, graphene oscillates the initially kHz linewidth DFB-FL, and generates high-quality passively Q-switched pulses. Pumped with a 980 nm continuous-wave laser, the Q-switched GDFB-FL observes ~1 μs pulse durations, with pulse energies up to ~10 nJ and approaching the transform limit. The peak power is ~600 times higher than the original DFB-FL laser. By optimizing the cavity design and the graphene material, it is predicted that fast Q-switched pulses with more than MHz repetition rates and sub-100 ns pulse durations are achievable. Such transform-limited Q-switched GDFB-FLs with narrow linewidth of sub-MHz have long coherence length, good tunability, stability, compactness and robustness, with potential impact in optical coherent communications, metrology and sensing.
