v. L-arginine: patient 3 had a premature delivery of a 2-kg healthy baby, while patient 4 developed preeclampsia and, at the 28th week, delivered a 1,050-g girl. The neonate had severe ALK inhibitor respiratory distress syndrome complicated by severe infection and died at day 28. Although limited, our pilot study suggests that L-arginine may be a useful therapeutic agent in pregnant SSc women.”
“Detailed analysis of the dispersion of ethylene and propylene copolymer components in high-impact polypropylene particles was performed by the morphological observation, pore volume analysis, and microscopic

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of SPring-8. The results of the morphological observation and pore volume distribution suggest that copolymer components were formed in particles in such a manner as to fill the gaps of fine homopolypropylene particles. The results of the analysis by microscopic Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were that the distribution of the amount of ethylene in the particles was homogeneous Sotrastaurin and indicated that copolymer components were dispersed uniformly within the particles. Moreover, spots with high

amounts of ethylene were formed on the particle surface, and when voids existed within the particle, spots with high amounts of ethylene were also formed on the void surface. The structure of the copolymer components existing locally on the surface was practically similar to the structure of the copolymer components within the particles. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“Phase-resolved BMS-345541 in vitro x-ray ferromagnetic resonance (XFMR) has been measured in fluorescence yield, extending the application of XFMR to opaque samples on opaque substrates. Magnetization dynamics were excited in a Co(50)Fe(50)(0.7)/Ni(90)Fe(10)(5)

bilayer by means of a continuous wave microwave excitation, while x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra were measured stroboscopically at different points in the precession cycle. By tuning the x-ray energy to the L(3) edges of Ni and Fe, the dependence of the real and imaginary components of the element specific magnetic susceptibility on the strength of an externally applied static bias field was determined. First results from measurements on a Co(50)Fe(50)(0.7)/Ni(90)Fe(10)(5)/Dy(1) sample confirm that enhanced damping results from the addition of the Dy cap. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.

“We reported a case of dermatomyositis (DM) with liver disturbance in a 50-year-old Japanese female. She presented with fever, muscle weakness, and typical DM rashes. On clinical and serological examinations, the liver impairment was initially diagnosed as probable autoimmune hepatitis, which was denied by a histological study despite positive anti-liver-kidney microsome-1 antibody.
