Composite Bonded Magnets With Self-Recoverability <newline/>for Miniaturized Anisotropic Magnet Rotor

In the preparation of a miniaturized rotor, a composite bonded magnet was fabricated by taking advantage of self-recoverability. A preformed magnet was synthesized by using incomplete three-dimensional network molecular structure which was formed under the optimum conditions at a temperature of 433 K, an alignment field of 1.4 MA/m, and a low compacting pressure of 50 MPa, respectively. The preformed ones were extruded and compressed into a ring-shaped magnet by using the self-recoverability at a pressure of 200 MPa and a temperature of 423 K under non-alignment-field. Through the process, a composite bonded magnet rotor in the shape of a ring could be prepared without a bonding layer. It was clarified that a 4 pole/6 slot DC brush less motor can be obtained by using the ring-shaped rotor comprising a parallel oriented anisotropic magnet with 7 mm in outer diameter, 158 kJ/m3 in (BH)max, and 6.2 Mg/m3 in density, respectively. Resultantly, the developed rotor enabled us to increase the S-T gradient by 1.75 times compared with that for a conventional isotropic Nd-Fe-B bonded magnet rotor with the same dimensions

Disease-Free Interval Length Correlates to Prognosis of Patients Who Underwent Metastasectomy for Esophageal Lung Metastases

BackgroundPulmonary metastasectomy is a standard method for treatment of selected pulmonary metastases cases. Nevertheless, because prognosis for patients with lung metastases from esophageal cancer who have undergone pulmonary metastasectomy is poor, candidates for this method of treatment are rare. Therefore, the efficacy of surgical treatment for pulmonary metastatic lesions from esophageal cancer has not been thoroughly examined.MethodsBetween March 1984 and May 2006, 57 patients underwent resection of pulmonary metastases from primary esophageal cancer. These cases were registered in the database developed by the Metastatic Lung Tumor Study Group of Japan and were retrospectively reviewed from the registry. After excluding eight cases because of missing information, we reviewed the remaining 49 cases and examined the prognostic factors for pulmonary metastasectomy for metastases from esophageal cancer.ResultsThere were no perioperative deaths. After pulmonary metastasectomy, disease recurred in 16 (33%) of the 49 patients. The overall 5-year survival was 29.6%. Median survival time was 18 months. The survival of patients with a disease-free interval (DFI) less than 12 months was significantly lower than patients with a DFI greater than 12 months. Through multivariate analysis, we identified DFI as a clinical factor significantly related to overall survival (p = 0.04).ConclusionsWe identified that patients with a DFI less than 12 months who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy for metastases from esophageal cancer had a worse prognosis. Pulmonary metastasectomy for esophageal cancer should be considered for selected patients with a DFI ≥12 months

Kre6 (yeast 1,6-β-transglycosylase) homolog, PhTGS, is essential for β-glucan synthesis in the haptophyte Pleurochrysis haptonemofera

Haptophytes synthesize unique β-glucans containing more β-1,6-linkages than β-1,3 linkages, as a storage polysaccharide. To understand the mechanism of the synthesis, we investigated the roles of Kre6 (yeast 1,6-β-transglycosylase) homologs, PhTGS, in the haptophyte Pleurochrysis haptonemofera. RNAi of PhTGS repressed β-glucan accumulation and simultaneously induced lipid production, suggesting that PhTGS is involved in β-glucan synthesis and that the knockdown leads to the alteration of the carbon metabolic flow. PhTGS was expressed more in light, where β-glucan was actively produced by photosynthesis, than in the dark. The crude extract of E. coli expressing PhKre6 demonstrated its activity to incorporate 14C-UDP-glucose into β-glucan of P. haptonemofera. These findings suggest that PhTGS functions in storage β-glucan synthesis specifically in light, probably by producing the β-1,6-branch
