Simplified thermal formation experiments have been conducted using dioxin-free fly ash as
a catalyst with many kinds of combustible samples such as newspaper, kerosene, paraffin, …

Recently, we reported that scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf) 3 ] and scandium
trifluoromethanesulfonimide could catalyze polycondensations of dicarboxylic acids and diols. …

Prolonged stress affects homeostasis in various organs and induces stress‐associated
disorders. We examined the cellular changes of pituitary gland under the continuous stress …

Formation of chlorinated hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were
determined using a laboratory-scale incinerator when combusting materials at different …

We treated two cases of interstitial cystitis (IC) that were resistant to some conventional
therapies with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Both patients underwent 20 sessions of 100% oxygen …

Copolymerizations of D‐ and L‐N carboxy alanine anhydride by Al(C 2 H 5 ) 3 and (i‐C 4 H
9 ) 2 AlN(C 2 H 5 ) 2 were studied in order to elucidate the mechanism of stereospecific …

Sensitized photoisomerization of the cis-stilbazolium ion 1 by ruthenium tris-2,2′-bipyridine
[Ru(bpy)32+] was studied in saponite clay layers. The reaction yield was 100 times higher …

A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for the evaluation of hypercalcemia and
anterior neck mass. Laboratory findings revealed hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and …

Our earlier investigations demonstrated that formation of hydrocarbons such as polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the pathophysiology of interstitial cystitis (IC), we examined
urinary levels and urothelial expression of human orthologue of pancreatitis-associated protein …
