Stable suspensions of tunicate cellulose microfibrils were prepared by acid hydrolysis the cellulosic mantles tunicin. They formed a chiral nematic phase above critical concentration. External magnetic fields applied to in two different manners control its structure. (i) Static ranging 1−28 T used align axis (helical axis) field direction. (ii) A rotating (5 T, 10 rpm) was unwind helices and form phase. These phenomena interpreted terms anisotropic diamagnetic susceptibility microfibril. The...

Phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOH) accumulate abnormally in the erythrocytes of dementia patients, and dietary xanthophylls (polar carotenoids such as astaxanthin) are hypothesised to prevent accumulation. In present study, we conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial assess efficacy 12-week astaxanthin supplementation (6 or 12 mg/d) on both PLOOH levels thirty middle-aged senior subjects. After weeks treatment, erythrocyte concentrations were higher 6 mg groups...
In patients with head and neck cancer, posttreatment imaging can be complicated difficult to interpret because of the complexity surgical procedures performed postirradiation changes, but such is critical for evaluation (a) response therapy (b) tumor control. Posttreatment changes are affected by type surgery performed, reconstruction, dissection, radiation therapy. Three types flaps used reconstruction in region: local flap, geometric repositioning adjacent tissue; pedicle rotation donor...
Luteolin is a naturally occurring flavone that reportedly has anti-inflammatory effects. Because most luteolin conjugated following intestinal absorption, free likely present at low levels in the body. Therefore, metabolites are presumably responsible for bioactivity. Here we confirmed glucuronides, especially luteolin-3'-O-glucuronide, major found plasma after oral administration of (aglycone) or glucoside (luteolin-7-O-glucoside) to rats. Luteolin-4'-O-glucuronide and...
Myocardial fat is often seen at cardiac computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of healthy adults patients with myocardial diseases. Physiologic develops aging commonly CT in the anterolateral right ventricular (RV) free wall RV outflow tract normal or thickened myocardium a normal-sized elderly patients. Pathologic conditions include healed infarction (MI); arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy dysplasia (ARVC); others, such as lipoma, lipomatous hypertrophy interatrial septum,...
Triacylglycerol (TG), the main component of edible oil, is oxidized by thermal- or photo- oxidation to form TG hydroperoxide (TGOOH) as primary product. Since TGOOH and its subsequent products cause not only deterioration oil quality but also various toxicities, preventing oils essential. Therefore understanding mechanisms that formation necessary. isomeric information lipid provides insights about mechanisms, we focused on dioleoyl-(hydroperoxy octadecadienoyl)-TG (OO-HpODE-TG) isomers,...
Cardiac involvement is an important prognostic factor in sarcoidosis, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) can facilitate the identification of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). In patients CS, we investigated LGE characteristics their relationship left ventricular (LV) function to identify those unique severely reduced LV function. We also between duration sarcoidosis.We retrospectively evaluated 19 CS diagnosed according 2006 revised guidelines...
Tocotrienol (T3) is an important phytonutrient found in rice bran and palm oil. T3 has gained much interest for lipid lowering effects, especially cholesterol (Cho) by inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase. Also, usefulness of improving triglyceride (TG) profiles been suggested, but its efficacy mechanism have unclear. We investigated how decreases TG concentration cultured cells animals. In a cell culture study, human hepatoma (HepG2) were incubated control or fat (1 mM...

The powder crystallites of L-alanine, selected for demonstration purposes, suspended in a photocurable resin were subjected to frequency-modulated rotating magnetic field, and the achieved three-dimensional alignment was fixed by photopolymerization resin. obtained sample exhibited X-ray diffraction pattern that comparable an equivalent actual original single crystal. This first time simultaneous two axes, i.e., easy hard magnetization axes with respect space coordinates. A theoretical...
Nanorods of La@C82(Ad) (Ad = adamantylidene) were prepared via the liquid−liquid interfacial precipitation method. From SEM, HRTEM, EELS, and SADEP analyses, it was revealed that nanorods consist a single crystal La@C82(Ad). The field-effect transistor (FET) measurement shows p-type action. magnetic orientation observed; is, oriented with nanorod axis perpendicular to field.
Novel polymer composites reinforced with an oriented cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) assembly were prepared from suspensions of CNC in aqueous 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) via magnetic field application to the followed by polymerization treatment. The starting used at ∼6 wt % separated into upper isotropic phase and a lower anisotropic (chiral nematic) one course quiescent standing. A static or rotational was applied isolated phases. UV-induced HEMA perpetuated respective states...

Tocotrienol (T3) is an unsaturated form of natural vitamin E that has been focused on because its potential health benefits (i.e., antioxidative, antihypercholesterolemic, and antiangiogenic effects). The presence T3 in some plant sources (e.g., rice bran palm oil) known, but distribution other edible daily intake remain unclear. In this study, we aimed at clarifying the various food estimating Japanese population. contents 242 items 64 meal were measured by using normal-phase HPLC with...
Organisms are covered extracellularly with cuticular waxes that consist of various fatty acids. In higher plants, extracellular act as indispensable barriers to protect the plants from physical and biological stresses such drought pathogen attacks. However, effect acid composition on plant development under normal growth conditions is not well understood. Here we show ONION1 (ONI1) gene, which encodes a elongase (β-ketoacyl CoA synthase) involved in synthesis very-long-chain acids, required...
Three-dimensional (3D) endoscopic-mode software was used at helical computed tomography (CT) to evaluate distal aortic arch aneurysms (n = 12) and dissections 10); images were compared with two-dimensional (2D) axial source images. In aneurysms, the 3D endoscopic mode depicted relationship of arterial orifices aneurysm, which is difficult 2D alone. dissections, however, did not provide additional information that provided on
