    Abstract Turbostratic multilayer graphene (MLG) is of great interest due to its unique electronic properties resulting from a linear band dispersion at the K point, which is similar to that of single-layer graphene. The band structure is derived from the stacking structure of turbostratic MLG where graphene layers have random in-plane rotations with respect to each other. Although wafer-scale growth of turbostratic MLG has been demonstrated, the crystallinity of individual graphene layers is still challenging to investigate. In this study, we present a new approach to reveal the grain structure of turbostratic MLG by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. Mechanical delamination is demonstrated for the chemical vapor deposited MLG to peel off the topmost graphene layers by using a polydimethylsiloxane sheet. Micrometer-scale patterning of the MLG prior to the delamination is found to be effective to obtain graphene films with the designed shape and arrangement. Furthermore, the delaminated graphene films are successfully transferred onto a TEM grid, enabling us to estimate the grain size of the turbostratic MLG. This method is potentially applicable for not only preparing samples but also fabricating vertically stacked heterostructure devices using 2D materials.

    Abstract Epstein-Barr virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) is a newly established immunodeficiency-related disease. Herein, we report a case of EBVMCU and focus on its cytological usefulness for diagnosis. An 82-year-old man manifested pharyngalgia, dysphagia, and oral pain. His medical history included rheumatoid arthritis that had been treated with methotrexate. Clinically, peritonsillar abscess was suspected, but since neoplastic lesions, including malignant lymphoma (ML), could not be excluded, a series of cytohistological examination was attempted. Despite some alarming findings (e.g., frequent mitoses), fine-needle aspiration and touch imprint cytology consistently revealed a heterogeneous population of lymphoid and plasmacytoid cells with mild nuclear atypia. The final diagnosis of EBVMCU was established based on the permanent histologic specimen; however, retrospectively, cytology was more representative of the benign nature of the lesion than histology, helping a great deal to differentiate it from ML. Cytology can be a useful tool for the correct diagnosis of EBVMCU.

    Abstract Mixing heterogeneous Li-ion conductive materials is one potential way to enhance Li-ion conductivity more than that of the parent materials. However, the huge number of possible compositions of parent materials impedes the development of an optimal mixture by using conventional methods. In this study, we employed machine learning to optimize the composition ratio of ternary Li₃PO₄–Li₃BO₃–Li₂SO₄ for Li-ion conductivity. We found the optimum composition of the ternary mixture system to be 25:14:61 (Li₃PO₄:Li₃BO₃:Li₂SO₄ in mol %), whose Li-ion conductivity is measured as 4.9 × 10–⁴ S/cm at 300 °C. Our X-ray structure analysis suggested that Li-ion conductivity of the mixed systems tends to be enhanced by the coexistence of two or more phases. Although the mechanism enhancing Li-ion conductivity is not simple, our results demonstrate the effectiveness of machine learning for the development of materials.

    Abstract Severe cases of COVID-19 often require orotracheal intubation (OTI) and mechanical ventilation, and post-intubation laryngeal injury (PI-LI) is one of the important complications of OTI. Some studies have claimed that the frequency of PI-LI may be higher in COVID-19 patients as compared with that in non-COVID-19 patients, because of the larger size of endotracheal tube used, the longer OTI time, use of prone positioning of the patients, etc. Herein, we describe six cases of PI-LI who presented with dyspnea after recovering from COVID-19. Five of the patients were male and the median OTI period was 9 days. All the patients showed abnormal endoscopic findings, including posterior glottic synechiae/stenosis or subglottic/posterior glottic granulomas. Four patients required surgical intervention, including tracheostomy, laryngomicrosurgery, or laterofixation of the vocal cord. Many post-COVID-19 patients experience persistent symptoms (post-COVID-19 syndrome), including dyspnea. Two of our patients with dyspnea had been treated by internists as cases of post-COVID-19 syndrome. Therefore, we wish to underscore the need for every healthcare professional to be aware of the possibility of PI-LI after OTI, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Otolaryngologists should undertake endoscopic assessment of the larynx in patients presenting with dyspnea after recovering from COVID-19.

    Abstract Mixing heterogeneous Li-ion conductive materials is one of potential ways to enhance the Li-ion conductivity more than that of the parent materials. However, the development of the mixtures had not exhibited significant progress because it is a formidable task to cover the vast possible composition of the parent materials using traditional ways. Here, we introduce a fashion based on machine learning to optimize the composition ratio of ternary Li3PO4-Li3BO3-Li2SO4 mixture for its Li-ion conductivity. According to our results, the optimum composition of the ternary mixture system is 25:14:61 (Li3PO4: Li3BO3: Li2SO4 in mol%), whose Li-ion conductivity is measured as 4.9 x 10E-4 S/cm at 300 {\deg}C. Our X-ray structure analysis indicates that Li-ion conductivity in the mixing systems is enhanced by virtue of the coexistence of two or more phases. Although the mechanism enhancing Li-ion conductivity is not simple, our results demonstrate the effectiveness of machine learning for the development of materials.
