Formal [4+2] cycloaddition of cyclobutanones bearing alkyne-cobalt complex at their 3-positions
Cyclobutanones bearing an alkyne-cobalt complex at their 3-positions reacted with aldehydes to give formal [4+2] cycloadducts by using tin(IV) chloride as a Lewis acid. Highly substituted tetrahydropyrone derivatives were stereoselectively prepared by this method. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of hole-doped manganites La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0.2 and 0.4)
Electronic excitations near the Fermi energy in the hole doped manganese
oxides (La1-xSrxMnO3, x=0.2 and 0.4) have been elucidated by using the resonant
inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) method. A doping effect in the strongly
correlated electron systems has been observed for the first time. The
scattering spectra show that a salient peak appears in low energies indicating
the persistence of the Mott gap. At the same time, the energy gap is partly
filled by doping holes and the energy of the spectral weight shifts toward
lower energies. The excitation spectra show little change in the momentum space
as is in undoped LaMnO3, but the scattering intensities in the low energy
excitations of x=0.2 are anisotropic as well as temperature dependent, which
indicates a reminiscence of the orbital nature

An efficient procedure for preparation of 2-monoalkyl or 2-monoaryl-3-ethoxycyclobutanones
金沢大学医薬保健研究域薬学系Optimized reaction conditions for the preparation of various 2-monosubstituted 3-ethoxycyclobutanones are described. 2-Monoalkyl 3-ethoxycyclobutanones were efficiently prepared by the reaction of the corresponding carboxylic acid chlorides and an excess amount of ethyl vinyl ether in the presence of diisopropylethylamine at 90 °C in a sealed tube. 2-Monoaryl 3-ethoxycyclobutanones were prepared by using 2,6-lutidine as a base in the above-mentioned procedure. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Dysregulated Aire expression and autoimmunity
Deficiency for AIRE/Aire in both humans and mice results in the development of organ-specific autoimmune disease. We tested whether augmented and/or dysregulated AIRE/Aire expression might be also prone to the breakdown of self-tolerance. To define the effect of augmented Aire expression on the development of autoimmunity, antigen-specific clonal deletion and production of clonotypic regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the thymus were examined using mice expressing two additional copies of Aire in a heterozygous state (3xAire-knockin mice: 3xAire-KI). We found that both clonal deletion of autoreactive T cells and production of clonotypic Tregs in the thymus from 3xAire-KI were impaired in a T-cell receptor-transgenic system. Furthermore, 3xAire-KI females showed higher scores of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein than wild-type littermates, suggesting that augmented Aire expression exacerbates organ-specific autoimmunity under disease-prone conditions. In humans, we found that one patient with amyopathic dermatomyositis showed CD3–CD19– cells expressing AIRE in the peripheral blood before the treatment but not during the remission phase treated with immunosuppressive drugs. Thus, not only loss of function of AIRE/Aire but also augmented and/or dysregulated expression of AIRE/Aire should be considered for the pathogenesis of organ-specific autoimmunity. We suggest that further analyses should be pursued to establish a novel link between organ-specific autoimmune disease and dysregulated AIRE expression in clinical settings
BioHackathon series in 2011 and 2012: penetration of ontology and linked data in life science domains
The application of semantic technologies to the integration of biological data and the interoperability of bioinformatics analysis and visualization tools has been the common theme of a series of annual BioHackathons hosted in Japan for the past five years. Here we provide a review of the activities and outcomes from the BioHackathons held in 2011 in Kyoto and 2012 in Toyama. In order to efficiently implement semantic technologies in the life sciences, participants formed various sub-groups and worked on the following topics: Resource Description Framework (RDF) models for specific domains, text mining of the literature, ontology development, essential metadata for biological databases, platforms to enable efficient Semantic Web technology development and interoperability, and the development of applications for Semantic Web data. In this review, we briefly introduce the themes covered by these sub-groups. The observations made, conclusions drawn, and software development projects that emerged from these activities are discussed
