    Abstract: Coumarin-containing vinyl homopolymers, such as poly(7-methacryloyloxycoumarin) (P1a) and poly(7-(2'-methacryloyloxyethoxy)coumarin) (P1b), show a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in chloroform, which can be controlled by the [2 + 2] ... ...

    Abstract Coumarin-containing vinyl homopolymers, such as poly(7-methacryloyloxycoumarin) (P1a) and poly(7-(2'-methacryloyloxyethoxy)coumarin) (P1b), show a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in chloroform, which can be controlled by the [2 + 2] photochemical cycloaddition of the coumarin moiety, and they are recognized as monofunctional dual-stimuli-responsive polymers. A single functional group of monofunctional dual-stimuli-responsive polymers responds to dual stimuli and can be introduced more uniformly and densely than those of dual-functional dual-stimuli-responsive polymers. In this study, considering a wide range of applications, organogels consisting of P1a and P1b, i.e., P1a-gel and P1b-gel, respectively, were synthesized, and their thermo- and photoresponsive behaviors in chloroform were investigated in detail. P1a-gel and P1b-gel in a swollen state (transparent) exhibited phase separation (turbid) through a temperature jump and reached a shrunken state (transparent), i.e., an equilibrium state, over time. Moreover, the equilibrium degree of swelling decreased non-linearly with increasing temperature. Furthermore, different thermoresponsive sites were photopatterned on the organogel through the photodimerization of the coumarin unit. The organogels consisting of homopolymers of coumarin-containing methacrylate exhibited unique thermo- and photoresponsivities and behaved as monofunctional dual-stimuli-responsive organogels.

    Abstract Background/aim: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)-used for brain metastases (BMs) with a tumor diameter of ≤2 cm-has a high local control rate, however, it can cause symptomatic radiation-induced brain necrosis. Hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (HFSRT) is not commonly used for such lesions and its effectiveness remains unknown. Herein, the efficacy of 30 Gy 5-fraction HFSRT for treating BMs of <2 cm was retrospectively evaluated.
    Patients and methods: Patients who received HFSRT and had a gross tumor volume (GTV) of ≤2 cm in maximum diameter were included in the study (49 patients; 179 BMs; median follow-up period, 11.9 months).
    Results: The mean GTV Peripheral Dose (D95) was 36.2 Gy. The local control (LC) rates at 1 and 2 years were 93.0% and 81.5%, respectively, for all lesions. The 1-year LC rates were 93.6% and 92.0% for ≤1.0-cm and 1.0-2.0-cm lesions, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the only significant difference was in GTV maximal tumor diameter (HR=1.961, p=0.0002). Notably, only one patient had asymptomatic radiation necrosis.
    Conclusion: Owing to the high toxicity of SRS, 5-fraction HFSRT can be an effective treatment strategy for BMs of <2 cm.

    Abstract This study investigated changes in treatment modalities and outcomes of chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CP-CML) after the approval of second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (2G-TKIs) for first-line therapy. Patients were grouped into those who underwent TKI therapy up to December 2010 (imatinib era group, n = 185) and after January 2011 (2G-TKI era group, n = 425). All patients in the imatinib era group were initially treated with imatinib, whereas patients in the 2G-TKI era group were mostly treated with dasatinib (55%) or nilotinib (36%). However, outcomes including progression-free survival, overall survival, and CML-related death (CRD) did not differ significantly between groups. When stratified by risk scores, the prognostic performance of the ELTS score was superior to that of the Sokal score. Even though both scoring systems predicted CRD in the imatinib era, only the ELTS score predicted CRD in the 2G-TKI era. Notably, the outcome of patients classified as high-risk by ELTS score was more favorable in the 2G-TKI era group than in the imatinib era group. Thus, expanding treatment options may have improved patient outcomes in CP-CML, particularly in patients classified as high-risk by ELTS score.

    Abstract Crystallization by pH adjustment, as a type of reaction crystallization, is a solid-liquid separation method widely used in the area of pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical intermediate manufacturing. On the other hand, 3-alkenyl cephem compound is a typical zwitterionic pharmaceutical intermediate that possesses both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. Such structure affords three main pH regions in solution and results in difficulties using crystallization by pH adjustment for isolation. As a consequence, 3-alkenyl cephem compound is usually crystallized at the point away from the solubility curve, causing unrestricted nucleation and flocculation behavior for the deposited particles which is difficult to filtrate. In this study, the pK

    Abstract Graft copolymers show microphase separated structure as seen in block copolymers and have lower intrinsic viscosity than block copolymers because of a branching structure. Therefore, considering molding processability, especially for polymers containing rigid segments, graft copolymers are useful architectures. In this work, graft copolymers containing rigid poly(diisopropyl fumarate) (PDiPF) branches were synthesized by full free‐radical polymerization process. First, synthesis of PDiPF macromonomers by addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (AFCT) was investigated. 2,2‐Dimethyl‐4‐methylene‐pentanedioic acid dimethyl ester was found to be an efficient AFCT agent for diisopropyl fumarate (DiPF) polymerization because of the suppression of undesired primary radical termination, which significantly took place when common AFCT agent, methyl 2‐(bromomethyl)acrylate, was used. Copolymerization of PDiPF macromonomer with ethyl acrylate accomplished the generation of the graft copolymer having flexible poly(ethyl acrylate) backbone and rigid PDiPF branches. The graft copolymer showed a microphase separated structure, high transparency, and characteristic thermal properties to PDiPF and poly(ethyl acrylate). © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

    Abstract Basic Japanese takes a friendly and innovative approach to beginner Japanese, emphasizing the structure of the Japanese language rather than just vocabulary.This method was pioneered by the author, Samuel E. Martin. Once considered controversial, modern linguists now agree that the structural based approach for leaning a language allows for more effective retention than the traditional repetition-based approach. It is especially effective for self-study and first-time learners as well as in a classroom setting. The MP3 Audio-CD helps to reinforce pronunciation and build listening comprehens

    Abstract Objective: We report our first experience of using a case-specific three-dimensional (3D) hologram for tumor resection in otolaryngology to show the proof of concept. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to assess the usefulness of the mixed reality technique in otolaryngology.
    Methods: A case-specific 3D hologram was developed from enhanced images of dynamic computed tomography, with reference to contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images, and used for preoperative planning and intraoperative image reference. To evaluate the usefulness of the 3D hologram with head mount displays (HMDs), 18 attendings and resident otolaryngologists completed a questionnaire with the Likert scale.
    Results: The case-specific 3D hologram on HMDs was successfully used by means of easy gesture-handling without any monitors preoperatively and intraoperatively. The experience of picturing the tumor localization and evaluating the surgical approach was statistically better using the 3D hologram on HMDs than using the computer images (
    Conclusion: We demonstrated the use of a case-specific 3D hologram for tumor resection in otolaryngology. The technology may be useful for preoperative planning and intraoperative image reference, especially for challenging cases, and surgical education.
