PMID: 27087867
Ann Vasc Dis. 2016;9(1):8-14. doi: 10.3400/avd.oa.15-00132. Epub 2016 Jan 25.

We investigated whether non-contrast three-dimensional computed tomography-venography (3DCTV) using 128-row multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) could be the first-choice diagnostic imaging modality for the treatment of varicose veins. Its utility was assessed in terms of estimation of the venous function,...

Fullerene bis-adducts are increasingly being studied to gain a high open circuit voltage (Voc) in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaics (OPVs). We designed and synthesized homo and hetero bis-adduct [60]fullerenes by combining fused cyclohexanone or a five-membered spiro-acetalized unit (SAF5)...

Micrometer-sized, monodisperse, "mushroom-like" Janus poly(methyl methacrylate)/poly(styrene-2-(2-bromoisobutyryloxy)ethyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(2-(dimethyl amino)ethyl methacrylate) (PMMA/P(S-BIEM)-g-PDM) particles were successfully synthesized by site-selective surface-initiated activator generated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization in aqueous dispersed systems with spherical PMMA/P(S-BIEM) composite particles having controlled morphologies...

Kinetic study of the Diels-Alder reaction of Li⁺@C₆₀ with cyclohexadiene: greatly increased reaction rate by encapsulated Li⁺.

J Am Chem Soc. 2014 Aug 06;136(31):11162-7. doi: 10.1021/ja505952y. Epub 2014 Jul 23.

We studied the kinetics of the Diels-Alder reaction of Li(+)-encapsulated [60]fullerene with 1,3-cyclohexadiene and characterized the obtained product, [Li(+)@C60(C6H8)](PF6(-)). Compared with empty C60, Li(+)@C60 reacted 2400-fold faster at 303 K, a rate enhancement that corresponds to lowering the activation...

PMID: 27072294
Nat Commun. 2016 Apr 13;7:11272. doi: 10.1038/ncomms11272.

Evolutionally conserved Nanos RNA-binding proteins play crucial roles in germ cell development. While a mammalian Nanos family protein, NANOS2, is required for sexual differentiation of male (XY) germ cells in mice, the underlying mechanisms and the identities of its...

Distinguishing between High- and Low-Spin States for Divalent Mn in Mn-Based Prussian Blue Analogue by High-Resolution Soft X-ray Emission Spectroscopy.

The journal of physical chemistry letters

Asakura D, Nanba Y, Okubo M, Mizuno Y, Niwa H, Oshima M, Zhou H, Okada K, Harada Y.

J Phys Chem Lett. 2014 Nov 20;5(22):4008-13. doi: 10.1021/jz501738m. Epub 2014 Nov 05.

We combine Mn L2,3-edge X-ray absorption, high resolution Mn 2p-3d-2p resonant X-ray emission, and configuration-interaction full-multiplet (CIFM) calculation to analyze the electronic structure of Mn-based Prussian blue analogue. We clarified the Mn 3d energy diagram for the Mn(2+) low-spin...
