Future HEP experiments at the energy and intensity frontiers require fast ultrafast inorganic scintillators with excellent radiation hardness to face challenges of unprecedented event rate severe environment. We report recent progress in for future experiments. Examples are LYSO crystals LuAG ceramics an ultra-compact shashlik sampling calorimeter HL-LHC proposed FCC-hh, yttrium doped BaF2 Mu2e...

The newly designed and synthesized artificial anthracene derivatives possessing a deoxyamino sugar effectively and randomly cleaved proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) and hen egg lysozyme (Lyso), during photoirradiation using a long wavelength UV light (365 nm) without any further additives. Furthermore, it was found that the cleaving ability of anthracene could be improved by the att...

A novel cancer cell lysosome-targetable multifunctional NO-delivery nanoplatform (Lyso-Ru-NO@FA@C-TiO2) (1) was developed. It selectively targets folate-receptor overexpressed cancer cells and specifically locates within the lysosome organelle to which NO and reactive oxygen species are simultaneously released upon 808 nm NIR light irradiation. The dual-targeted nanoplatform (1) demonstrated th...

The metabolic composition of plasma is affected by time passed since the last meal and by individual variation in metabolite clearance rates. Rat plasma in fed and fasted states was analyzed with liquid chromatography quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF) for an untargeted investigation of these metabolite patterns. The dataset was used to investigate the effect of data preproce...

Due to its excellent remote measurability and high spatial resolution, the fiber optic-based radiation dosimeter has been extensively explored for its usability in medical applications by several researchers [1-2]. In the previous work [3,4], we reported the result of our investigation on feasibility of a photon dosimeter constructed with a BGO(Bi4Ge3O12) or GSO(Gd2SiO5) scintillator piece coup...

BACKGROUND Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked inherited disease based on the absence or reduction of lysosomal-galactosidase (Gla) activity. The enzymatic defect results in progressive impairment of cerebrovascular, renal and cardiac function. Normally, female heterozygote mutation carriers are less strongly affected than male hemizygotes aggravating disease diagnosis. METHOD Close examination...

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked hereditary defect of glycosphingolipid storage caused by mutations in the gene encoding the lysosomal hydrolase α-galactosidase A (GLA, α-gal A). To date, over 400 mutations causing amino acid substitutions have been described. Most of these mutations are related to the classical Fabry phenotype. Generally in lysosomal storage disorders a reliable genotype/phen...

The prion diseases occur following the conversion of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) into an alternatively folded, disease-associated isoform (PrPSc). However, the spread of PrPSc from cell to cell is poorly understood. In the present manuscript we report that soluble PrPSc bound to and replicated within both GT1 neuronal cells and primary cortical neurons. The capacity of PrPSc to bind and r...

Several human monoclonal antibodies directed to tumor-associated glycolipid antigens have been established, but more than one-half of them react with gangliosides and the others react with neutral glycolipids. We report here the first establishment of a human IgM monoclonal antibody directed to the sulfated glycolipid. This monoclonal antibody, M14-376, did not react with SM3 and SB1a which hav...
