Werner syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of progeroid symptoms and signs. It caused by mutations in the WRN gene, which encodes a RecQ DNA helicase. The aim this study was to revise diagnostic criteria for Japanese syndrome.A nationwide epidemiological carried out from 2009 2011, involving 6921 surveys sent hospitals with more than 200 beds assess existing WS criteria, as well additional signs high incidence on basis clinical experience WS.The were reviewed, >90% listed...
The adsorption of CO2 molecules on monolayer epitaxial graphene a SiC(0001) surface at 30 K was investigated by temperature-programmed desorption and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. energy determined to be (30.1–25.1) ± 1.5 kJ/mol low coverages approached the sublimation dry ice (27–25 kJ/mol) with increasing coverage. thus categorized into physisorption, which further supported binding energies in core-level spectra. states were theoretically examined means van der Waals density...
We performed four-terminal conductivity measurements on a CoSi2 nanowire (NW) at room temperature by using PtIr-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) tips in four-tip scanning tunneling microscope. The physical stability and high aspect ratio of the CNT made it possible to reduce probe spacing down ca. 30 nm. probe-spacing dependence resistance showed diffusive transport even nm no current leakage Si substrate.
Autologous fat transplantation is a popular and useful technique in plastic reconstructive surgery. The efficiency survival of such grafts predictable many cases, but there are still issues to be resolved, as how improve graft volume retention. To address the issue retention, we studied effect revascularization from recipient on size function adipocytes grafts. Treatment mice with TNP-470, an angiogenesis inhibitor, reduced blood flow into after subcutaneous epididymal fat. weight...
We investigated the adsorption of CO2 on flat, stepped, and kinked copper surfaces from density functional theory calculations as well temperature programmed desorption X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Several exchange-correlation functionals have been considered to characterize surfaces. used van der Waals (vdW-DFs), i.e., original vdW-DF (vdW-DF1), optB86b-vdW, rev-vdW-DF2, Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) with dispersion correction (PBE-D2). found that vdW-DF1 rev-vdW-DF2 slightly...
The reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) on Zn-deposited copper surfaces was systematically investigated by ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). In the presence 0.8 mbar CO2 and 0.4 H2 gases, hydrogenation products are not observed; only carbonate is formed Cu(111) Cu(997) surfaces. formation rate at 299 K significantly faster Zn/Cu(997) than that Zn/Cu(111), indicating step sites more reactive for activation terrace sites. On other hand, addition water in feed gas leads...
Four-terminal conductivity measurements of damascene copper (Cu) wires with various widths have been performed using platinum-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) tips in a four-tip scanning tunneling microscope. Using CNT enabled the probe spacing to be reduced 70 nm, which is shortest interconnect wire achieved so far. The measured resistivity Cu increased as line width decreased and direct evidence individual grain boundary scattering was observed when varied on scale comparable size (∼200 nm).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze epigenetic (specifically, DNA methylation) participation in the mechanisms cleft palate only induced by maternal exposure all-trans retinoic acid mice. Design: Cleft fetuses acid. Their secondary palates were excised for analysis. Cytosine extension assay and restriction landmark genomic scanning performed methylation status. expression levels methyltransferases examined real-time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction. Results: Using...
We present a method to prepare tungsten tips for use in multi-tip scanning tunneling microscopes. The motivation behind the development comes from requirement make very long and conical-shape with controlling cone angle. is based on combination of "drop-off" dynamic electrochemical etching, which tip continuously slowly drawn up electrolyte during etching. Its reproducibility was confirmed by electron microscopy. Comparison shape between static methods shown. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2007.94]
Background: The authors have volunteered their services as plastic surgeons in several countries, such Nepal and Cambodia. In these programs, the saw many adults with cleft lips or palates who could not primary repair at proper time. purpose of this report is to discuss untreated adult patients. Methods: Subjects were older than 17 years. Nepal, repairs performed 129 clefts over past 11 Unilateral repaired by rotation advancement small triangular flap method straight a flap. Bilateral using...
Quantitative analysis of desorption and decomposition kinetics formic acid (HCOOH) on Cu(111) was performed by temperature programmed (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, time-resolved infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. The activation energy for is estimated to be 53–75 kJ/mol the threshold TPD method as a function coverage. Vibrational spectra first layer HCOOH at 155.3 K show that adsorbed molecules form polymeric structure via hydrogen bonding network. Adsorbed are...
From the analysis of high-resolution Si 2p photoelectron and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra, we show that core level excitations epitaxial silicene on ZrB2(0001) thin films are characteristically different from those sp(3)-hybridized silicon. In particular, it is revealed lower binding energies low onset in NEXAFS spectra as well occurrence satellite features attributed to screening by low-energy valence electrons interband transitions between π bands,...
In Japan, the cultured epithelial autografts "JACE" was accepted as a health insurance adaptation from January 1, 2009. We examined extensive burn wounds in 8 patients by using combination of autograft and JACE. After debridement, we managed wound bed preparation artificial dermis. The covered with fine tissue 2 weeks after implanted dermis trafermin used every day. Meshed 6:1 split-thickness were placed onto recipient under epidermalization nearly complete within 3 to 4 weeks.A total 39...
The electrical conductance of 0.8∼5-µm-long multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was measured at room temperature in a multiprobe scanning tunneling microscope (STM)-scanning electron (SEM) system and conventional prober system, by bringing the MWCNTs into contact with patterned metal electrodes. resistance between CNTs electrodes sufficiently small. proportional to A / L (and also B , within our experimental error), where are cross section, circumference, length CNTs. This indicates...
Background: Congenital unilateral lower lip palsy or congenital hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle, also known as asymmetric crying facies, characterized by deformity lip, lacks aggressive surgical intervention methods. Although several dynamic and static reconstruction methods have been reported, textbooks introduce only passive intervention, weakening unaffected side through techniques such selective marginal mandibular neurectomy which, however, tends to produce lack emotive...
The adsorption and reaction of methanol on Zn-modified Cu(111) surfaces were investigated by synchrotron-radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). Dehydrogenation is not observed clean or Zn–Cu(111) surfaces. amount more stable molecules at defect sites increased a surface because roughening occurs as result surface-alloy formation, which leads to an increase in step density. All the desorbed intact heating ∼220 K. On other hand, when...
