被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.01We have investigated crystal quality of Co(MnFe)Si (CMFS) epitaxially grown on Ge(111) by using Rutherford-backscattering spectrometry and an axial-ion-channeling technique. It was found that the CMFS/Ge and CoFeSi (CMFS with x = 1)/Ge have larger static atomic displacement than Fe-based ternary Heusler alloy FeMnSi and FeCoSi/Ge(111). Quaternary alloys may be affected by increase of mixing entropy. Significant disordering at the interface of CMFS with x = 0.75 was found, and discussed on the basis of thermodynamics.

The aim of this study was to assess the utility of in-air micro-PIXE (particle induced X-ray emission) analysis for lung biopsy specimens of patients with occupational dust exposure. Some patients with evidence of interstitial pneumonia (IP) on computed tomography were enrolled in this study. Lung specimens were obtained by transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) at bronchofiberscopy or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). These samples were measured with the in-air micro-PIXE analyzer at TIARA after freeze-drying. As a result, it was revealed that the elemental distributions in tiny particles in the lung tissues varied widely among those patient specimens. For example, aluminum was detected in a lung specimen of a patient working at aluminum plant. Therefore, elemental analysis of lung specimens by in-air micro PIXE is useful for the biopsy of dust-exposed patients.

This study was conducted to determine biological significance of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) expression and investigate whether LAT1 could be a prognostic biomarker for tongue cancer. Eighty-five patients with surgically resected tongue cancer were evaluated. Tumor sections were stained by immunohistochemistry for LAT1, ASCT2, xCT, CD98, CD147, Ki-67, microvessel density determined by CD34, and p53. Biological significance of LAT1 expression was investigated by experiments with LAT inhibitor, 2-aminobicyclo-(2,2,1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid (BCH) using tongue cell line. LAT1, ASCT2, xCT, CD98 and CD147 were highly expressed in 61%, 59%, 21%, 45% and 33%, respectively. The expression of LAT1 was significantly associated with disease staging, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic permeation, cell proliferation (Ki-67), and the expression level of CD98, ASCT2 and CD147 as amino acid transporter complexes. Multivariate analysis confirmed that LAT1 was an independent prognostic factor for predicting poor prognosis. preliminary experiment indicated that BCH significantly suppressed growth of the tumor and yielded an additive therapeutic efficacy to cisplatin. These rusults suggests that LAT1 can serve as a promising pathological marker to predict the outcome in patients with tongue cancer. Inhibition of LAT1 may be an effective targeted therapy for this distressing disease.
