Enhancing pili assembly and biofilm formation in Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC19606 using non-native acyl-homoserine lactones.

Luo LM1, Wu LJ, Xiao YL, Zhao D, Chen ZX, Kang M, Zhang Q, Xie Y.
BMC microbiology.BMC Microbiol.2015 Dec;15(1):397. doi: 10.1186/s12866-015-0397-5. Epub 2015 Mar 7.
BACKGROUND: Quorum Sensing (QS) systems influence biofilm formation, an important virulence factor related to the bacterial survival and antibiotic resistance. In Acinetobacter baumannii, biofilm formation depends on pili biosynthesis, structures assembled via the csuA/BABCDE chaperone-usher secreti

Critical aspects of using bacterial cell viability assays with the fluorophores SYTO9 and propidium iodide.

Stiefel P1, Schmidt-Emrich S, Maniura-Weber K, Ren Q.
BMC microbiology.BMC Microbiol.2015 Dec;15(1):376. doi: 10.1186/s12866-015-0376-x. Epub 2015 Feb 18.
BACKGROUND: Viability staining with SYTO9 and propidium iodide (PI) is a frequently used tool in microbiological studies. However, data generated by such routinely used method are often not critically evaluated for their accuracy. In this study we aim to investigate the critical aspects of this stai

Breast carcinoma originating from a silicone granuloma: a case report.

Nakahori R1, Takahashi R, Akashi M, Tsutsui K, Harada S, Matsubayashi RN, Nakagawa S, Momosaki S, Akagi Y.
World journal of surgical oncology.World J Surg Oncol.2015 Dec;13(1):509. doi: 10.1186/s12957-015-0509-6. Epub 2015 Feb 22.
Breast carcinoma rarely occurs in cases of foreign body granulomas following liquid silicone injection. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the use of all silicone injection products in 1992, liquid silicone injection for breast augmentation continues to be performed illegally. We

In situ NMR observation of the lithium extraction/insertion from LiCoO2 cathode

Shimoda Keiji,Murakami Miwa,Takamatsu Daiko,Arai Hajime,Uchimoto Yoshiharu,Ogumi Zempachi
Electrochimica Acta 108, 343-349, 2013-10-00
… To understand the behavior of Li^{+} ions on electrochemical lithium extraction/insertion process, we performed in situ^{7}Li nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements for LiC_{o}O_{2} cathode in a plastic cell battery, and the spectral evolutions of the ^{7}Li NMR signal of Li_{x}C_{o}O_{2} (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) were well investigated. …

Applied Physics Express 6(7), 072402-072402-4, 2013-07-25
… The intensity variations of cavity reflection and transmission as functions of modulation frequency and intracavity absorption loss are researched theoretically and experimentally. … The results indicate that a proper modulation frequency of cavity length should be chosen to ensure high signal-to-noise ratio of ringdown event and high data acquisition rate. …

Enhanced Scattered Light Imaging of Nanoparticles by Controlling the Polarization Distribution with Photonic Crystals

Otani Yuko,Urano Yuta,Honda Toshifumi,Watanabe Masahiro
Jpn J Appl Phys 52(5), 052001-052001-6, 2013-05-25
… However, it is difficult to observe samples that are small compared with the optical wavelength since the signal is swamped by background noise such as dark noise and electrical noise and other signals besides that from the sample. … Simulations predict that the peak intensity obtained using this method will be 3.4 times higher than that obtained using a conventional microscope and that the resolution of this technique will be 0.43 times smaller than that of conventional microscopy. …
