Abstract
A new strategy is described for generating strong circularly polarized luminescence with highly tunable emission bands through chiral induction in nonchiral, totally organic, low-molecular-weight fluorescent dyes by chiral nanotemplate systems. Our approach allows the first systematic investigation to clarify the correlation between the circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence intensities. As a result, a dilute solution system with the highest circularly polarized luminescence intensity achieved to date and a dissymmetry factor of over 0.1 was identified.

Abstract
Synthesis of chiral inorganic or hybrid nanomaterials through sol-gel transcription of chiral organic templates has attracted a great deal of interest for more than a decade. However, the chiral nature of these inorganic matrices has never been directly observed. For the first time, we report a direct evaluation of chirality on noncrystalline silica chiral nanoribbons by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) measurements. Strong Cotton effect around 1150-1000 cm-1 from Si-O-Si asymmetric stretching vibration was observed. Surprisingly, calcination of these hybrid nanoribbons doubled the intensity of Cotton effects. On the basis of transmission electron microscopy observations, IR, VCD, NMR, and Raman spectroscopies, we demonstrate that the silica chirality originates from twisted siloxane network composed of chiral arrangement of the Si-O-Si bonds. Our findings clearly prove the presence of chiral organization of amorphous silica network, making them very promising chiral platforms for chiral recognition, optical applications, or asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for evaluating the rotator cuff, but some tendinous insertions cannot be assessed using oblique sagittal, oblique coronal, and axial magnetic resonance (MR) images because of the presence of the partial volume effect. HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to determine whether radial-slice MR images could reveal normal rotator cuff insertions and rotator cuff tears more clearly than conventional MR images. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 18 subjects with normal rotator cuffs and 30 with rotator cuff tears. MR images of rotator cuff insertions sliced into radial, oblique coronal, and axial sections were obtained. The extent to which normal rotator cuff insertions and rotator cuff tears were visualized in each of the three MR images was evaluated. RESULTS The top to posterior portions of the rotator cuff insertions from 0° to 120° could be visualized in the radial MR images. In comparison, the posterior portions of the rotator cuff insertions could not be visualized around 45° in both the oblique coronal and axial MR images. DISCUSSION These findings demonstrate that radial MR images are superior to the oblique coronal and axial MR images regarding their ability to accurately visualize rotator cuff insertions. Radial MR images also revealed greater detail around 45° in the posterior area of the rotator cuff tears than the oblique coronal and axial MR images. Radial MR images are particularly useful for visualizing clinically important posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III - Diagnostic study.

Abstract
Finely tuned chiral nanometric silica fibers were synthesized based on sol-gel chemistry using organic self-assembly as a template. The optimization of the sol-gel process in acidic conditions allowed us to reduce the transcription time by a factor of 10. These nanohelices were successfully fragmented while preserving the fine internal structures from several micrometers to several hundreds of nanometers in length by a sonication method previously reported for carbon nanotubes. By carefully choosing the nature of the solvent, the sonication power, pH in the case of water, and densification of the silica walls by freeze-drying, the homogeneous and stable colloidal suspensions of individualized chiral nanometric silica ribbons with controlled length were obtained.

Abstract
Microenvironments such as protein composition, physical features, geometry, and elasticity play important roles in stem cell lineage specification. The components of the extracellular matrix are known to subsequently assemble into fibrillar networks in vivo with defined periodicity. However, the effect of the most critical parameter, which involves the periodicity of these fibrillar networks, on the stem cell fate is not yet investigated. Here, we show the effect of synthetic fibrillar networks patterned with nanometric periodicities, using bottom-up approaches, on the response of stem cells. We have used helical organic nanoribbons based on self-assemblies of Gemini-type amphiphiles to access chiral silica nanoribbons with two different shapes and periodicities (twisted ribbons and helical ribbons) from the same native self-assembled organic nanostructure. We demonstrate the covalent grafting of these silica nanoribbons onto activated glass substrates and the influence of this programmed isotropically oriented matrix to direct the commitment of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into osteoblast lineage in vitro, free of osteogenic-inducing media. The specific periodicity of 63 nm (±5 nm) with helical ribbon shape induces specific cell adhesion through the fibrillar focal adhesion formation and leads to stem cell commitment into osteoblast lineage. In contrast, the matrix of periodicity 100 nm (±15 nm) with twisted ribbon shape does not lead to osteoblast commitment. The inhibition of non-muscle myosin II with blebbistatin is sufficient to block this osteoblast commitment on helical nanoribbon matrix, demonstrating that stem cells interpret the nanohelical shape and periodicity environment physically. These results indicate that hMSCs could interpret nanohelical shape and periodicity in the same way they sense microenvironment elasticity. This provides a promising tool to promote hMSC osteogenic capacity, which can be exploited in a 3D scaffold for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The effect of counterions was investigated to probe the principal ionic effects on the solubility in water and melting behavior of cationic gemini surfactants. We focused on two types of counterions: (1) small inorganic counterions that are typically taken from the Hofmeister series were studied to focus on the effect of ion type and (2) n-alkylcarboxylate counterions were studied to focus on the effect of the hydrophobicity of counterions. The Krafft temperature (Tk) and melting temperature (Tm) were obtained by conductivity measurements, calorimetric measurements, and optical microscopy observation. The results clearly indicate that Tk, which represents the solubility of surfactants, is not determined by a single parameter of ions such as the hydration free energy, as is too often assumed, but rather by the combined effects between the hydrophobicity of anions associated with other effects such as the polarizability, dehydrated ion size, and ionic morphology. In parallel, our observation demonstrated that all of the surfactants showed a transition from a crystalline phase to a thermotropic liquid-crystalline phase at around ca. 70 °C, which transformed to an isotropic liquid phase at around ca. 150 °C, and that the transition temperatures depended strongly on the counterion type. The counterion effects on the solubilization and melting behaviors were then compared with micellization properties that have been reported previously. These results provide new insight into understanding the effect of ions on the delicate balance of forces controlling the solution properties and aggregate morphology of charged amphiphilic molecules. Specifically, the solubilization properties of these cationic surfactants with various counterions were determined mainly by the subtle interplay between the hydration of counterions and the dissociation energies (stability of crystallinity) of the ion pair.

Abstract
Nanometric bilayer-based self-assembled micelles commonly named as bicelles, formed with a mixture of long and short chains phosphatidylcholine lipids (PC), are known to orient spontaneously in a magnetic field. This field-induced orientational order strongly depends on the molecular structure of the phospholipids. Using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we performed detailed structural studies of bicelles and investigated the orientation/relaxation kinetics in three different systems: saturated-chain lipid bicelles made of DMPC (dimyristoyl PC)/DCPC (1,2-dicaproyl PC) with and without the added paramagnetic lanthanide ions Eu(3+), as well as bicelles of TBBPC (1-tetradecanoyl-2-(4-(4-biphenyl)butanoyl)-sn-glycero-3-PC)/DCPC. The structural study confirmed the previous NMR studies, which showed that DMPC bicelles orient with the membrane normal perpendicular (defined here as "nematic" orientation) to the magnetic field, whereas they orient parallel (defined here as "smectic" orientation) to the magnetic field in the presence of Eu(3+). The TBBPC bicelles also show smectic orientation. Surprisingly, the orientational order induced in the magnetic field remains even after the magnetic field is removed, which allowed us to investigate the orientation and relaxation kinetics of different bicelle structures. We demonstrate that this kinetics is very different for all three types of bicelles at the same lipid concentration; DMPC bicelles (~40 nm diameter) with and without Eu(3+) orient faster than TBBPC bicelles (~80 nm diameter). However, for the relaxation, DMPC bicelles (nematic) lose their macroscopic orientation only after one hour, whereas both DMPC bicelles with Eu(3+) and TBBPC bicelles (smectic) remarkably stay oriented for up to several days! These results indicate that the orientation mechanism of these nanometric disks in the magnetic field is governed by their size, with smaller bicelles orienting faster than the larger bicelles. Their relaxation mechanism outside the magnetic field, however, is governed by the degree of ordering. Indeed, the angular distribution of oriented bicelles is much narrower for the bicelles with smectic orientation, and, consequently, they keep aligned for much longer time (days) than those with nematic ordering (hours) outside the magnetic field. The understanding of the orientation/relaxation kinetics, as well as the morphologies of these "molecular goniometers" at molecular and supramolecular levels, allows controlling such an unprecedented long-range and long-lived smectic ordering of nanodisks and opens a wide field of applications for structural biology or material sciences.

Abstract
The rotational-state-selected CH (v = 0, J, F(i)) beam has been prepared by using an electric hexapole and applied to the crossed beam reaction of CH (v = 0, J, F(i)) + O(2) → OH (A) + CO at different O(2) beam conditions. The rotational state selected reactive cross sections of CH (RSSRCS-CH) turn out to depend remarkably on the rotational state distribution of O(2) molecules at a collision energy of ∼ 0.19 eV. The reactivity of CH molecules in the N = 1 rotational states (namely ∣J = 1∕2, F(2)> and ∣J = 3∕2, F(1)> states, N designates the angular momentum excluding spin) becomes strongly enhanced upon a lowering of the rotational temperature of the O(2) beam. The RSSRCS-CH in these two rotational states correlate linearly with the population of O(2) molecule in the specific K(O(2)) frame rotation number states: CH(|J = 1/2,F(2)>) with O(2)(|K(O(2)) = 1>);CH(|J = 3/2,F(1)>) with O(2)(|K(O(2)) = 3>). These linear correlations mean that the rotational-state-selected CH molecules are selectively reactive upon the incoming O(2) molecules in a specific rotational state; here, we use the term "rotationally correlated reactivity" to such specific reactivity depending on the combination of the rotational states between two molecular reactants. In addition, the steric asymmetry in the oriented CH (∣J = 1∕2, F(2), M = 1∕2>) + O(2) (|K(O(2)) = 1>) reaction turns out to be negligible (< ±1%). This observation supports the reaction mechanism as theoretically predicted by Huang et al. [J. Phys. Chem. A 106, 5490 (2002)] that the first step is an intermediate formation with no energy barrier in which C-atom of CH molecule attacks on one O-atom of O(2) molecule at a sideways configuration.

Abstract
The effect of counterions was investigated and analyzed to probe the principal ionic effects influencing the micellization behavior of dimeric cationic surfactant ethanediylbis(dimethyltetradecylammonium), referred to as gemini 14-2-14. The 30 counterions were classified to four different families depending on their nature: (1) small and inorganic counterions which are typically taken from the Hofmeister series were studied to focus on the effect of ion type; (2) n-alkyl carboxylate counterions were studied to focus on the effect of the hydrophobicity of counterions; (3) aromatic carboxylate counterions were included to focus on the effect of the position of substitutions; and (4) other counterions were included in order to shed light on other parameters. By investigating the critical micelle concentration (CMC), ionization degree of micelle (alpha), free energy of micellization (DeltaG(M)), and aggregation numbers N of the gemini surfactant with these different types of anions, we demonstrated the effect of different ion properties independently. This approach allowed us to describe the effect of counterions on the micellization behavior of the gemini surfactant in terms of complex interplay between hydrophobicity of anions and other ion properties such as counterion hydration, interfacial packing of ions, and ionic morphology. Indeed, our results clearly demonstrate that a counterion effect on micellization properties cannot be described as a result of one single parameter of ions, as is too often assumed, but rather the balancing effects cooperatively affect the propensity of counterions to form ion pairs with surfactant headgroups and the entropy gain upon micellization. These results provide new insight in understanding the effect of ions on the delicate balance of forces controlling aggregate morphology and solution properties of charged amphiphilic molecules.

Abstract
Steric effect for the XeBr(*) (B, C) formation in the oriented Xe(*)((3)P(2), M(J) = 2) + oriented CF(3)Br reaction has been observed as a function of the mutual configuration between the molecular orientation and the atomic orientation in the collision frame. Molecular steric opacity function has been determined as a function of the atomic orbital alignment (L(Z)(')) in the collision frame. The L(Z)(') selectivity in the molecular steric opacity function is different between the XeBr(*) (B, C) channels: For the XeBr(*) (C) channel, the L(Z)(') = 0 alignment is favorable at the molecular axis direction and the absolute value(L(Z)(')) = 1 alignment is favorable at the sideway direction, whereas for the XeBr(*) (B) channel, the L(Z)(') = 0 alignment is favorable at the sideway direction and the absolute value(L(Z)(')) = 1 alignment is favorable at the molecular axis direction. However, the shape of the steric opacity function for the XeBr(*) (B) channel at the L(Z)(') = 0 (and absolute value(L(Z)(')) = 1) alignment is similar to that for the XeBr(*) (C) channel at the absolute value(L(Z)(')) = 1 (and L(Z)(') = 0) alignment, respectively: A large molecular orientation dependence (i.e., the largest reactivity at the Br-end with the small molecular alignment dependence) is recognized for the XeBr(*) (B) channel at the L(Z)(') = 0 alignment and for the XeBr(*) (C) channel at the absolute value(L(Z)(')) = 1 alignment, whereas a large molecular alignment dependence (i.e., the largest reactivity at the Br-end with the poor reactivity at the sideway) is recognized for the XeBr(*) (B) channel at the absolute value(L(Z)(')) = 1 alignment and for the XeBr(*) (C) channel at the L(Z)(') = 0 alignment. We propose the indirect mechanism for the dark channels (Xe + Br + CF(3)) via the back-electron transfer from the CF(3) segment (or dissociating CF(3)...Br(-)) to Xe(+) as the origin of the significant molecular alignment dependence in the molecular steric opacity function.
