In the present study, we measure the rotational population in supersonic nitrogen-free jets using a resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) method [Chem. Phys. Lett. 115, 492 (1985)], which is not influenced by secondary electrons, unlike the electron beam me...

Abstract Clostridium botulinum type D strain OFD05, which produces the D/C mosaic neurotoxin, was isolated from cattle killed by the recent botulism outbreak in Japan. The D/C mosaic neurotoxin is the most toxic of the botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) characterized to date....

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of bacterial pneumonia. Our previous study suggested that S.pneumoniae autolysis-dependently releases intracellular pneumolysin, which subsequently leads to lung injury. In this study, we hypothesized that pneumococcal autolys...

RATIONALE Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) has been widely utilized for the structural characterization of various synthetic polymers. However, polymer sample molecules can occasionally decompose even in the MALDI process dependin...

Abstract Background Few studies have addressed the value of combining computed tomography-derived pulmonary vasculature metrics for the diagnosis and haemodynamic evaluation of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Materials and methods We measured three computed tomog...

Shiro-uo (ice goby; teleost fish), Leucopsarion petersii, shows a unique cleavage pattern characterized by two tires of blastomeres at 8-cell stage, like that of echinoderm and amphibian embryo. Such a pattern is suitable to isolation and cell lineage experiments. In th...
