PMID: 26116119
EJNMMI Res. 2014 Dec;4(1):57. doi: 10.1186/s13550-014-0057-z. Epub 2014 Oct 09.

BACKGROUND: Hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in pathological conditions leading to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Technetium-99 m-2-methoxyisobutyl-isonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI), a lipophilic cationic myocardial perfusion agent, is retained in the mitochondria depending on membrane potential. The aim of this study was...

Partially oxidized iridium clusters within dendrimers: size-controlled synthesis and selective hydrogenation of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde.

Nanoscale

Higaki T, Kitazawa H, Yamazoe S, Tsukuda T.
PMID: 27193739
Nanoscale. 2016 Jun 02;8(22):11371-4. doi: 10.1039/c6nr01460g.

Iridium clusters nominally composed of 15, 30 or 60 atoms were size-selectively synthesized within OH-terminated poly(amidoamine) dendrimers of generation 6. Spectroscopic characterization revealed that the Ir clusters were partially oxidized. All the Ir clusters efficiently converted 2-nitrobenzaldehyde to anthranil...

BACKGROUND: Both aortic aneurysms and coronary artery ectasia (CAE) frequently coexist and are associated with more pronounced inflammation. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NL ratio) is widely used as a marker of inflammation. However, relation between CAE and NL ratio...

Lagrangian chaos and particle diffusion in electroconvection of planar nematic liquid crystals.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics
