Coherent Anti-Stokes Hyper-Raman Spectroscopy.

Coherent Raman scattering spectroscopies have been established as a powerful tool for investigating molecular systems with high chemical specificity. The existing coherent Raman scattering techniques detect only Raman active modes, which are a part of the whole molecular vibrations. Here, we report the first observation of coherent anti-Stokes hyper-Raman scattering (CAHRS) spectroscopy, which allows measuring hyper-Raman active vibrations at high speed.

Synthesis and crystal structure of 1-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-di-amine monohydrate.

The title compound, a hydrate of 3,5-di-amino-1,2,4-triazole (DATA), CHN·HO, was synthesized in the presence of sodium perchlorate. The evaporation of HO from its aqueous solution resulted in anhydrous DATA, suggesting that sodium perchlorate was required to precipitate the DATA hydrate. The DATA hydrate crystallizes in the 2/ space group in the form of needle-shaped crystals with one DATA and one water mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit.

Synthesis of environmentally friendly energetic cocrystal derived from commodity chemicals.

Ammonium nitrate (AN) is a green oxidizer in the field of energetic materials. However, hygroscopicity and phase transitions have prevented AN from being put into practical use. To address these two drawbacks, a cocrystallization technique was applied to AN in this study.

A tRNA modification with aminovaleramide facilitates AUA decoding in protein synthesis.

Modified tRNA anticodons are critical for proper mRNA translation during protein synthesis. It is generally thought that almost all bacterial tRNAs use a modified cytidine-lysidine (L)-at the first position (34) of the anticodon to decipher the AUA codon as isoleucine (Ile). Here we report that tRNAs from plant organelles and a subset of bacteria contain a new cytidine derivative, designated 2-aminovaleramididine (avaC).

Efficacy and safety of elobixibat in combination with or switched from conventional treatments of chronic constipation: A retrospective observational study.

Background And Aim: Elobixibat is a triple mode of action laxative that increases water secretion into the colon, promotes colonic motility, and reestablishes the defecation desire. This study aims to evaluate the effectivity and safety of elobixibat in chronic constipation (CC) patients refractory to conventional laxatives.

Methods: A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted in refractory CC patients diagnosed according to the Rome IV criteria and received elobixibat between April 2018 and June 2022 at Osaka Saiseikai Nakatsu Hospital.

Reciprocal suppression between TGFβ signaling and TNF stimulation finetunes the macrophage inflammatory response.

Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of various disease conditions or is closely associated with them. Inflammatory cytokines like TNF often engage in interactions with other cytokines and growth factors, including TGFβ, to orchestrate inflammatory process. Basal/endogenous TGFβ signaling is a universal presence, yet the precise way TNF communicates with TGFβ signaling to regulate inflammation and influence inflammatory levels in macrophages has remained elusive.

Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Property of TiO Nanotube Array Photoanode Deposited with Al,Cr-Codoped SrTiO Nanocubes.

There is a demand for the effective utilization of solar energy with highly functional photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) applications, such as water splitting and CO reduction. TiO nanotube arrays (TNTA) with a large surface area have been studied as potential photoelectrodes mainly due to their strong oxidation potential. However, it has disadvantages of fast charge recombination and little responsivity to visible light.

Is Unified Understanding of Vibrational Coupling of Water Possible? Hyper-Raman Measurement and Machine Learning Spectra.

The impact of the vibrational coupling of the OH stretch mode on the spectra differs significantly between IR and Raman spectra of water. Unified understanding of the vibrational couplings is not yet achieved. By using a different class of vibrational spectroscopy, hyper-Raman (HR) spectroscopy, together with machine-learning-assisted HR spectra calculation, we examine the impact of the vibrational couplings of water through the comparison of isotopically diluted HO and pure HO.

Bone marrow Adipoq-lineage progenitors are a major cellular source of M-CSF that dominates bone marrow macrophage development, osteoclastogenesis, and bone mass.

M-CSF is a critical growth factor for myeloid lineage cells, including monocytes, macrophages, and osteoclasts. Tissue-resident macrophages in most organs rely on local M-CSF. However, it is unclear what specific cells in the bone marrow produce M-CSF to maintain myeloid homeostasis.

Degradation of Diazo Congo Red Dye by Using Synthesized Poly-Ferric-Silicate-Sulphate through Co-Polymerization Process.

The ability of poly-ferric-silicate-sulphate (PFSS) synthesized via a co-polymerization process has been applied for the removal of diazo Congo red dye. A novel degradation pathway of diazo Congo red dye by using PFSS is proposed based on LC-MS analysis. Diazo Congo red dye was successfully removed using synthesized PFSS at lower coagulant dosages and a wider pH range, i.

Tube length optimization of titania nanotube array for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Anodic TiO nanotube arrays (TNTAs) have attracted much attention due to their excellent photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties. In this work, the tube length of TNTAs was optimized for efficient PEC water splitting under two different conditions, in which very few or a massive amount of gas bubbles were generated on the electrodes. As a result, relatively longer TNTAs were found to be preferable for higher PEC performance when a larger number of bubbles were generated.

Efficacy of a High-definition Three-dimensional Exoscope in Simultaneous Transcranial and Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery: A Case Report.

Owing to recent advances in medical optical technology, a high-definition (4K) three-dimensional (3D) exoscope has been developed as an alternative tool to using conventional microscopes for microscopic surgery, and its efficacy for neurosurgery has been reported. We report a case who underwent simultaneous surgery aiming for en bloc resection of an anterior skull base malignancy with concurrent exoscopic transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approaches using a 4K 3D exoscope. The patient was a 76-year-old woman who underwent en bloc resection for an anterior skull base olfactory neuroblastoma 13 years ago.

Hyper-Raman spectroscopy of benzene and pyridine revisited.

Hyper-Raman (HR) spectra of benzene-h, benzene-d, and pyridine in the liquid phase excited at 1064 nm were measured by a picosecond laser with a high repetition rate. Although benzene and pyridine are important aromatic molecules, the qualities of the HR spectra previously reported were not high enough to be compared with those of IR and Raman spectroscopy. Our HR spectroscopic system significantly improves sensitivity that enables the detection of HR bands of benzene and pyridine not observed before.

TGFβ reprograms TNF stimulation of macrophages towards a non-canonical pathway driving inflammatory osteoclastogenesis.

It is well-established that receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) is the inducer of physiological osteoclast differentiation. However, the specific drivers and mechanisms driving inflammatory osteoclast differentiation under pathological conditions remain obscure. This is especially true given that inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) demonstrate little to no ability to directly drive osteoclast differentiation.

Shape-based separation of drug-treated using viscoelastic microfluidics.

Here, we achieve shape-based separation of drug-treated () by viscoelastic microfluidics. Since shape is critical for modulating biological functions of , the ability to prepare homogeneous populations adopting uniform shape or sort bacterial sub-population based on their shape has significant implications for a broad range of biological, biomedical and environmental applications. A proportion of treated with 1 μg mL of the antibiotic mecillinam were found to exhibit changes in shape from rod to sphere, and the heterogeneous populations after drug treatment with various aspect ratios (ARs) ranging from 1.

Epigenetic regulator UHRF1 orchestrates proinflammatory gene expression in rheumatoid arthritis in a suppressive manner.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic synovial inflammation with aberrant epigenetic alterations, eventually leading to joint destruction. However, the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms underlying RA pathogenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we showed that ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) is a central epigenetic regulator that orchestrates multiple pathogeneses in RA in a suppressive manner.

Synthesis and photophysical properties of a new push-pull pyrene dye with green-to-far-red emission and its application to human cellular and skin tissue imaging.

Herein, we discuss a new pyrene-based push-pull dye (PC) and our investigation of its photophysical properties and applicability to biological studies. The newly synthesized dye exhibits highly polarity-sensitive fluorescence over a significantly wide range (, the green to far-red region), accompanied by high fluorescence quantum yields ( > 0.70 in most organic solvents) and superior photostability to that of the commonly used Nile Red (NR) dye, which also fluoresces in the green to red region.

Histone H3K27 demethylase, Utx, regulates osteoblast-to-osteocyte differentiation.

Osteocytes are master regulators of skeletal homeostasis. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism of their differentiation. Epigenetic regulations, especially H3K27me3 modification, play critical roles in cell differentiation.

Regulation of Osteoclastogenesis and Bone Resorption by miRNAs.

Osteoclasts are specialized bone-resorbing cells that contribute to physiological bone development and remodeling in bone metabolism throughout life. Abnormal production and activation of osteoclasts lead to excessive bone resorption in pathological conditions, such as in osteoporosis and in arthritic diseases with bone destruction. Recent epigenetic studies have shed novel insight into the dogma of the regulation of gene expression.

Crystallographic study of the energetic salt 1,2,4-triazolium perchlorate.

The molecular and crystal structure of 1H-1,2,4-triazolium perchlorate, CHN·ClO, was determined as detailed crystallographic data had not been available previously. The structure has monoclinic (P2/m) symmetry. It is of interest in the field of energetic compounds because nitrogen-rich azoles are the backbone of high-density energetic compounds, and salt-based energetic materials can exhibit preferential energy-release behaviour.

Def6 regulates endogenous type-I interferon responses in osteoblasts and suppresses osteogenesis.

Bone remodeling involves a balance between bone resorption and formation. The mechanisms underlying bone remodeling are not well understood. DEF6 is recently identified as a novel loci associated with bone mineral density.

Real-World Comparison of Elobixibat and Lubiprostone Treatment in Patients with Chronic Constipation: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis.

Introduction: Elobixibat is a new laxative, but its efficacy and adverse events (AEs) are insufficiently examined compared with those of other laxatives. Hence, by propensity score (PS) matching, we compared the effects and AEs between elobixibat and lubiprostone.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,887 Japanese patients with chronic constipation (CC) treated at our hospital between October 2013 and April 2020.

Osteoclasts are not a source of SLIT3.

The axon guidance cue SLIT3 was identified as an osteoanabolic agent in two recent reports. However, these reports conflict in their nomination of osteoblasts versus osteoclasts as the key producers of skeletal SLIT3 and additionally offer conflicting data on the effects of SLIT3 on osteoclastogenesis. Here, aiming to address this discrepancy, we found no observable SLIT3 expression during human or mouse osteoclastogenesis and the only modest SLIT3-mediated effects on osteoclast differentiation.
