    Abstract It is predicted that strongly interacting spins on a frustrated lattice may lead to a quantum disordered ground state or even form a quantum spin liquid with exotic low-energy excitations. However, a controlled tuning of the frustration strength, separating its effects from those of disorder and other factors, is pending. Here, we perform comprehensive ^{1}H NMR measurements on Y_{3}Cu_{9}(OH)_{19}Cl_{8} single crystals revealing an unusual Q[over →]=(1/3×1/3) antiferromagnetic state below T_{N}=2.2  K. By applying in situ uniaxial stress, we break the symmetry of this disorder-free, frustrated kagome system in a controlled manner yielding a linear increase of T_{N} with strain, in line with theoretical predictions for a distorted kagome lattice. In-plane strain of ≈1% triggers a sizable enhancement ΔT_{N}/T_{N}≈10% due to a release of frustration, demonstrating its pivotal role for magnetic order.

    Abstract It is predicted that strongly interacting spins on a frustrated lattice may lead to a quantum disordered ground state or even form a quantum spin liquid with exotic low-energy excitations. However, a thorough tuning of the frustration strength, separating its effects from those of disorder and other factors, is pending. Here we break the symmetry of a kagome-lattice compound in a controlled manner by applying $in$ $situ$ uniaxial stress. The transition temperature of $\rm Y_3Cu_9(OH)_{18}OCl_8$ is linearly enhanced with strain, $\Delta T_{\rm N}/T_{\rm N} \approx 10\%$ upon in-plane compression of order $1\%$, providing clear evidence for a release of frustration and its pivotal role for magnetic order. Our comprehensive $^1$H NMR results suggest a $\overrightarrow{Q}=(1/3\times 1/3)$ state under unstrained conditions and further reveal an incomplete antiferromagnetic transition with fluctuating moments in this strongly frustrated system.

    Abstract Amphidynamic crystals, which possess crystallinity and support dynamic behaviours, are very well suited to the exploration of emergent phenomena that result from the coupling on the dynamic moieties. Here, dipolar rotors have been embedded in a crystalline metal-organic framework. The material consists of Zn(II) nodes and two types of ditopic bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-based linkers-one that coordinates to the Zn clusters through two 1,4-aza moieties, and a difluoro-functionalized derivative (the dipolar rotor) that coordinates through linked 1,4-dicarboxylate groups instead. Upon cooling, these linkers collectively order as a result of correlated dipole-dipole interactions. Variable-temperature, frequency-dependent dielectric measurements revealed a transition temperature T

    Abstract Background: Methods for hair-follicle regeneration are important tools for investigating signalling and cytokines during hair-follicle morphogenesis and cycling. Several animal models for hair reconstitution have been established; however, these models have several shortcomings.
    Aim: To develop a simple and rapid model for hair induction in nude mouse.
    Methods: We designed an improved flap model (IFM) for hair regeneration based on the existing flap assay. Histological sections and scanning electron microscopy were used to evaluate the regenerated hair. The fates of grafted cells were traced by fluorescence. The time required for hair induction was analysed and compared.
    Results: IFM produced a large number of normal hairs, and the time required for hair induction using IFM was 20.67 ± 0.67 days, compared with 29.33 ± 0.67 days for the traditional flap assay.
    Conclusions: The time required for hair regeneration is considerably shortened with IFM. We speculate that this is due to increased blood supply at the transplantation sites.

    Abstract Background: Icariin is a major flavonoid isolated from Epimedium spp. leaves (Epimedium Herba), and has multiple pharmacological functions, including anti-angiogenesis, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunoprotective effects.
    Aim: To investigate whether icariin can stimulate growth of hair follicles in mice and the underlying mechanism.
    Methods: In vitro, the effect of icariin on hair growth was assessed by using a vibrissae hair follicle (VHF) organ-culture model. The proliferation of hair matrix keratinocytes and the expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 in follicles were examined by double immunostaining for 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine and IGF-1, in the presence or absence of icariin. Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) were cultured and IGF-1 level was measured by reverse transcription-PCR and ELISA after icariin treatment. In vivo, the effect of icariin on hair growth was examined by gavage feeding of icariin to mice whose backs had been depilated, and the conversion of telogen to anagen hair was observed.
    Results: Treatment with icariin promoted hair shaft elongation, prolonged the hair cycle growth phase (anagen) in cultured VHFs, and accelerated transition of hair cycle from telogen to anagen phase in the dorsal skin of mice. There was significant proliferation of matrix keratinocytes and an increased level of IGF-1 in cultured VHFs. Moreover, icariin treatment upregulated IGF-1 mRNA expression in DPCs and increased IGF-1 protein content in the conditioned medium of DPCs.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that icariin can promote mouse hair follicle growth via stimulation of IGF-1 expression in DPCs.

    Abstract Ciprofloxacin-resistant shigellosis outbreaks among men who have sex with men (MSM) have not been reported in Asia. During 3 March to 6 May 2015, the Notifiable Disease Surveillance System detected nine non-imported Shigella sonnei infections among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -infected Taiwanese MSM. We conducted a molecular epidemiological investigation using a 1 : 5 matched case-control study and laboratory characterizations for the isolates. Of the nine patients, four reported engagement in oral-anal sex before illness onset. Shigellosis was associated with a syphilis report within 12 months (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 8.6; 95% CI 1.05-70.3) and no HIV outpatient follow-up within 12 months (aOR 22.3; 95% CI 2.5-201). Shigella sonnei isolates from the nine patients were all ciprofloxacin-resistant and the resistance was associated with S83L and D87G mutations in gyrA and S80I mutation in parC. The nine outbreak isolates were discriminated into two closely related pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) genotypes and seven 8-locus multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA8) types that suggest multiple sources of infections for the outbreak and possible under-recognition of infection among Taiwanese MSM. The outbreak isolates were characterized to be variants of the intercontinentally transmitted SS18.1 clone, which falls into the globally prevalent phylogenetic sub-lineage IIIb. Inter-database pattern similarity searching indicated that the two PFGE genotypes had emerged in the USA and Japan. The epidemiological characteristics of this outbreak suggest roles of risky sexual behaviours or networks in S. sonnei transmission. We urge enhanced surveillance and risk-reduction interventions regionally against the interplay of HIV and shigellosis among MSM.

    Abstract Background: In humans, dermal papillae cells (DPCs) are surrounded by basal membranes. However, conventional in vitro culture conditions for DPCs do not include extracellular matrix (ECM).
    Aim: To investigate the effects of different ECM types on the characteristics of cultured human DPCs.
    Methods: Freshly isolated human DPCs were inoculated onto plates precoated with type IV collagen, fibronectin, Matrigel or hyaluronate. Cell migration, growth and viability were measured. Real-time quantitative (q)PCR and western blotting were used to detect the influence of different ECM types on the expression of DPC-specific biomarkers.
    Results: In planar culture, type IV collagen and fibronectin had a beneficial effect on the migration, aggregation and viability of DPCs, in contrast to Matrigel and hyaluronate. Real-time qPCR revealed that significantly increased expression of mRNA was seen only for neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the Matrigel group, whereas versican, NCAM and α-SMA all decreased significantly in the hyaluronate group. In the type IV collagen and fibronectin groups, mRNA expression of the above genes did not change significantly. Western blotting indicated that there were no significant differences in expression of the above proteins between the four groups and the control group.
    Conclusion: In planar culture, exogenous ECM types (Matrigel, type IV collagen, hyaluronate and fibronectin) changed the growth characteristics of DPCs, but they did not affect the characteristics associated with the biological functions of DPCs.

    Abstract The mechanism of H migration in amorphous Si has remained an unresolved problem. The main issue is the small activation energy (1.5 eV) relative to the known strength of Si-H bonds (2-3.5 eV). We report first-principles finite-temperature simulations which demonstrate vividly that H is not released spontaneously, as proposed by most models, but awaits the arrival of a floating bond (FB). The "migrating species" is an FB-H complex, with H jumping from Si to Si and the FB literally floating around it. Migration stops when the FB veers away.
