Recently, the ventricular assist devices are widely applied for a surgical treatment of the final stage of severe heart failure as the bridge to heart transplantation or the destination therapy. However, it was anticipated that the artificial components in the ventricular assist devices might cause the problems concerning thrombosis and infection. As heart failure involves the decrease in myocardial contractile function, the mechanical assistance by using an artificial myocardium might be effective. In this study, the authors developed a mechano-electric artificial myocardial assist system (artificial myocardium), which is capable of supporting natural contractile function from the outside of the ventricle.

Oxygen-isotopic compositions of minerals from the Baszkówka chondrite

Oxygen isotopic compositions of two picotite-bearing chondrules from Baszkówka L5(S1) equilibrated ordinary chondrite have been determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The O-isotopic compositions of the minerals in the picotite-bearing chondrules are slightly more 16O-rich than the bulk O-isotopic composition of Baszkówka. The petrological properties and the O-isotopic compositions of these chondrules suggest that they have closer relationship to ferromagnesian chondrules than CAIs. The 16O-enrichment of the picotite-bearing chondrules may result from incomplete O exchange reaction between 16O-rich chondrule precursors and the 16O-poor solar nebular gas. This implies that the picotite-bearing chondrules are more primitive than ordinary ferromagnesian chondrules in Baszkówka. The O-isotopic compositions of the minerals in one of these chondrules relate to the crystallization sequence. These O-isotopic variations of minerals within the chondrule may result from incomplete O exchange between the chondrule melt droplet and the nebular gas. The heterogeneity of the O-isotopic composition in Baszkówka indicates that Baszkówka has not been homogenized completely during thermal metamorphism and/or secondary alteration.
