This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with time-intensity curve (TIC) in differentiating pancreatic diseases.Patients who underwent EUS between January 2007 and June 2009 were analyzed retrospectively, including 48 ductal cancer (PC), 14 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), 13 mass-forming (MFP), 16 endocrine tumor (PET). After intravenous injection contrast agent, imaging pattern, TIC-based quantitative evaluation, diagnostic ability...
Lipid droplets (LDs) are closely related to lipid metabolism in living cells and highly associated with diverse diseases such as fatty liver, diabetes, cancer. Herein we describe a π-extended fluorescent coumarin (PC6S) for visualizing LDs the tissues of mice using confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). PC6S showed large positive solvatochromic shift high quantum yield (>0.80) both nonpolar polar solvents. Additionally, lifetimes were largely dependent on solvent polarity....
The natural history of branch duct-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMNs) the pancreas remains unclear. We conducted a retrospective long-term follow-up study for malignant transformation (MT) BD-IPMNs focusing on morphological changes.The subjects consisted 142 patients who underwent contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography initial diagnosis from January 2001 with more than 12 months follow-up. MT rate, including co-occurrence invasive ductal cancer, was evaluated by...
A large series of conjugated carbazole dimers, namely bicarbazoles 1-12, were synthesized by Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, Hay, and McMurry coupling reactions.

Insights on diradical mode delocalization tuning by constitutional isomerism external naphthalenes has been explored means physical approach (dissection electronic in terms repulsion transfer integral) diradicals. This study also extended to redox species two compounds...
AIM:To investigate the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in differentiation autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 47 56 AIP patients who underwent EUS-FNA and met Asian diagnostic criteria.On specimens, we evaluated presence adequate material characteristic features lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing (LPSP) idiopathic duct-centric (IDCP) mentioned International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria examined if these findings make a...
Abstract Background Intracerebral amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation is considered the initial observable event in pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Efficient screening for pathology critical identifying patients early treatment. This study developed machine learning models to classify positron emission tomography (PET) Aβ-positivity participants with preclinical and prodromal AD using data accessible primary care physicians. Methods retrospective observational assessed...
Polymer-supported, palladium-catalyzed cyclization reactions effectively synthesized indolecarboxylates. Palladium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond-forming of immobilized enaminoesters followed by transesterification yielded indole 2- or 3-carboxylates with various functional groups on the benzene ring. Indolecarboxylates were efficiently cyclized via an intramolecular amination reaction N-substituted dehydrohalophenylalanines, and N-acetyl-dehydroalanines converted into indolecarboxylates...
Three chiral N-methylfulleropyrrolidine bisadducts were prepared, isolated, and completely resolved into each enantiomer using a HPLC column, which then converted to the corresponding optically active, cationic C60-bisadducts investigate if they could act as macromolecular helicity inducer in poly(phenylacetylene) bearing an anionic monoethyl phosphonate pendant (poly-1) aqueous solution. Upon complexation with C60-bisadducts, only trans-3 bisadduct exhibited characteristic induced circular...
In order to accomplish the selective synthesis of [60]fullerene bisadducts, reactions with compounds in which two α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene moieties were connected by an oligomethylene chain (n = 2−5) investigated. By this method, only isomers (cis-2- and cis-3-isomers) selectively obtained when n 2 3, while another isomer (e-isomer) was 5. When 4, a complex mixture bisadducts formed has not been separated so far. cis-2-Bisadducts have been, for first time, fullerene chemistry. The structures...
Effects of electronic structures on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) 1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone (1H2AN) and its related compounds [1-hydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (1H2NA) methyl 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate (1H2MN)] were studied by means laser photolysis method, time-resolved thermal lensing technique, fluorometry.
