Baryon interactions from lattice QCD with physical quark masses -- Nuclear forces and forces --
We present the latest lattice QCD results for baryon interactions obtained at
nearly physical quark masses. nonperturbatively -improved Wilson quark action with stout smearing and Iwasaki gauge
action are employed on the lattice of (96a)^4 \simeq (8.1\mbox{fm})^4 with
GeV, where MeV and MeV.
In this report, we study the two-nucleon systems and two- systems in
channel and - coupled channel, and extract central and
tensor interactions by the HAL QCD method. We also present the results for the
interaction in channel which is relevant to the
pair-momentum correlation in heavy-ion collision experiments.Comment: Talk given at 35th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory

dibaryon from lattice QCD near the physical point
The nucleon()-Omega() system in the S-wave and spin-2 channel
(S) is studied from the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with nearly physical
quark masses (~MeV and ~MeV). The
time-dependent HAL QCD method is employed to convert the lattice QCD data of
the two-baryon correlation function to the baryon-baryon potential and
eventually to the scattering observables. The (S) potential,
obtained under the assumption that its couplings to the D-wave octet-baryon
pairs are small, is found to be attractive in all distances and to produce a
quasi-bound state near unitarity: In this channel, the scattering length, the
effective range and the binding energy from QCD alone read ~fm, ~fm, ~MeV,
respectively. Including the extra Coulomb attraction, the binding energy of
(S) becomes ~MeV. Such a spin-2 state could be
searched through two-particle correlations in -, -nucleus and
nucleus-nucleus collisions.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures, a reference adde
Towards Lattice QCD Baryon Forces at the Physical Point: First Results
Lattice QCD calculations of baryon forces are performed for the first time
with (almost) physical quark masses. dynamical clover fermion gauge
configurations are generated at the lattice spacing of fm on a
lattice with quark masses corresponding to
MeV. Baryon forces are calculated using the
time-dependent HAL QCD method. In this report, we study and
systems both in and - channels, and the results for the
central and tensor forces as well as phase shifts in the
channel are presented.Comment: Talk given at the 12th International Conference on Hypernuclear and

Most Strange Dibaryon from Lattice QCD
The system in the channel (the most strange dibaryon)
is studied on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with a
large volume (8.1 fm) and nearly physical pion mass MeV
at a lattice spacing fm. We show that lattice QCD data
analysis by the HAL QCD method leads to the scattering length , the effective range and the binding energy . These results indicate that the
system has an overall attraction and is located near the unitary regime. Such a
system can be best searched experimentally by the pair-momentum correlation in
relativistic heavy-ion collisions.Comment: 6 pages and 4 figure
Tumor Suppressor Gene-Based Nanotherapy: From Test Tube to the Clinic
Cancer is a major health problem in the world. Advances made in cancer therapy have improved the survival of patients in certain types of cancer. However, the overall five-year survival has not significantly improved in the majority of cancer types. Major challenges encountered in having effective cancer therapy are development of drug resistance by the tumor cells, nonspecific cytotoxicity, and inability to affect metastatic tumors by the chemodrugs. Overcoming these challenges requires development and testing of novel therapies. One attractive cancer therapeutic approach is cancer gene therapy. Several laboratories including the authors' laboratory have been investigating nonviral formulations for delivering therapeutic genes as a mode for effective cancer therapy. In this paper the authors will summarize their experience in the development and testing of a cationic lipid-based nanocarrier formulation and the results from their preclinical studies leading to a Phase I clinical trial for nonsmall cell lung cancer. Their nanocarrier formulation containing therapeutic genes such as tumor suppressor genes when administered intravenously effectively controls metastatic tumor growth. Additional Phase I clinical trials based on the results of their nanocarrier formulation have been initiated or proposed for treatment of cancer of the breast, ovary, pancreas, and metastatic melanoma, and will be discussed
Hydrogen-bond-assisted isotactic-specific radical polymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone with tartrate additives in toluene at low temperatures : high-resolution 1H NMR analysis
A diethyl L-tartrate (L-EtTar)-assisted radical polymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone has been developed as the first reported example of the synthesis of isotactic-rich poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP). The addition of L-EtTar in toluene at temperatures of –40°C and lower led to a significant increase in the polymer yield by one order of magnitude compared with the reaction in the absence of L-EtTar. Decreasing the polymerization temperature led to increases in the isotacticity of the PVP, with the mm triad reaching 66.4% at −93 °C. 1H NMR measurement at 920 MHz was conducted to establish a reliable strategy for quantifying the triad tacticities. High-temperature NMR measurements at 250 °C were performed using a specially-designed NMR probe, which led to dramatic narrowing of the 1H line width
