Herbicides are widely applied in agriculture, which causes emerging concern for contaminating surface water and groundwater. The degradation of isoproturon, being a typical phenylurea herbicide, has been studied much with advanced oxidation processes. However, little information on the detailed degradation mechanism from the theoretical level is…[Read more]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface modification of calcium ions on roughened titanium as a surface treatment of dental implants for cell attachment, growth, and initial bacterial adhesion. When a surface-roughened, pure titanium disk was immersed in a calcium chloride solution (100 mM) containing 20 ppm ozone for 24 h at 25ºC,…[Read more]

9%) patients in the R group no longer fulfilled the OAB diagnostic criteria after salt intake reduction. Thus, salt intake reduction improved urinary symptoms in patients with OAB and may be a therapeutic option for OAB in patients with excessive daily salt intakes.While 24-h total sleep time (TST) is established as a critical driver of major…[Read more]

The 5-year survival rate of patients who underwent DP and DP-CAR were 50.6% and 41.1%, respectively (median survival time, 65.9 vs 37.0 months). For all 134 patients, pretreatment serum CA19-9 levels (P<0.001), adjuvant chemotherapy (P<0.001), and lymph node status (P=0.035) were independent prognostic factors of overall survival by multivariate…[Read more]

On follow-up, IVIG was performed every two to three weeks, and his total bilirubin improved gradually. Immunoglobulin replacement therapy could be one of the treatment choices for jaundice with CID.The patient was a 44-year-old man with a history of schizophrenia. He had a history of esophageal dysphagia and vomiting and presented with sudden…[Read more]

Powerful electron-withdrawing group (cyano) on the electron-deficient dienophile decrease the energy barrier for the cycloaddition and decrease the stability of the product whiles weak electron-withdrawing (bromine and chlorine) and electron-donating groups increase the energy barrier for the cycloaddition and decrease the stability of the…[Read more]

Homology-based sequence analysis revealed that the protein-contained functional domains are similar to sugar transport regulation and had a high sequence homology with other Solanaceae species. The sucrose metabolism-related enzyme’s activity varied significantly from ambient to eCO2 in 90-day and 120-day samples along with sugars. This study…[Read more]
