Abstract
Synthesis of binary nanoparticle superlattices has attracted attention for a broad spectrum of potential applications. However, this has remained challenging for one-dimensional nanoparticle systems. In this study, we investigate the packing behavior of one-dimensional nanoparticles of different diameters into a hexagonally packed cylindrical micellar system and demonstrate that binary one-dimensional nanoparticle superlattices of two different symmetries can be obtained by tuning particle diameter and mixing ratios. The hexagonal arrays of one-dimensional nanoparticles are embedded in the honeycomb lattices (for AB2 type) or kagome lattices (for AB3 type) of micellar cylinders. The maximization of free volume entropy is considered as the main driving force for the formation of superlattices, which is well supported by our theoretical free energy calculations. Our approach provides a route for fabricating binary one-dimensional nanoparticle superlattices and may be applicable for inorganic one-dimensional nanoparticle systems. Binary mixtures of 1D particles are rarely observed to cooperatively self-assemble into binary superlattices, as the particle types separate into phases. Here, the authors design a system that avoids phase separation, obtaining binary superlattices with different symmetries by simply tuning the particle diameter and mixture composition.

Abstract
Breast cancer incidence and survival is high in Southeast Asia. As such, many women diagnosed with breast cancer are at risk of dying of other causes. Given the increased risk of cardiotoxicity induced by breast cancer treatments, it is important to identify patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate if this risk varies by age and ethnicity. Patient details were obtained from 5,868 Chinese, Malay, and Indian women diagnosed with in situ or non-metastasized invasive breast cancer at the National University Hospital of Singapore and KK Women's and Children's Hospital in Singapore. Death causes were obtained from the National Registry of Births and Deaths. Flexible parametric survival models estimated CVD mortality rates and hazard ratios. During a median follow-up of six years, 1,010 deaths occurred of which 6.8% were due to CVD. CVD mortality rates of older women peaked within the first year following diagnosis and increased over time since diagnosis. Indian had more than double the risk of CVD mortality than Chinese, independent of age at diagnosis and stage. Taking ethnicity and age into account may promote CVD risk stratification and management in (Southeast Asian) women with breast cancer.

Abstract
Both ischaemic preconditioning (IPC) and amiodarone protect against myocardial ischaemia. We examined whether a combination of IPC and amiodarone demonstrated an additive protective effect in isolated rat hearts ( n = 40). The controls (group I) were subjected to ischaemia/reperfusion injury; group II was subjected to cycles of IPC prior to ischaemia/reperfusion injury; group III was subjected to ischaemia in the presence of amiodarone (10−10 mol/l); and group IV was subjected to IPC followed by ischaemia in the presence of amiodarone (10−10 mol/l). Amiodarone produced the best preserved left ventricular end-systolic pressure and dP/dtmax, less developed ventricular stiffness, the shortest arrhythmia duration, and the smallest infarct size among the groups. All of the myocardial protective effects against ischaemia/reperfusion injury were diminished or abolished when IPC and amiodarone were applied sequentially.

Abstract
A facile and green synthesis method for mesoporous gold sponges has been developed, which involves a simple mixing of a very small amount of thiolated-poly(ethylene glycol) (SH-PEG) and citrate-covered gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in aqueous solution at room temperature. While SH-PEG molecules have been widely used as biocompatible hydrophilic capping agents for Au NPs for stable dispersion in aqueous solution, here they are used as destabilizing agents. When SH-PEG molecules are mixed with citrate-covered Au NPs at the molar ratio ranging from 3 to 20 (SH-PEG/Au NP), mesoporous gold sponges with randomly interconnected 3D network structures are formed within 2 to 3 h. This is driven by the destabilization of negatively charged citrate molecules on Au NPs by a small number of SH-PEG molecules bonded on the particle surface, which results in the decrease in zeta potential and thus the assembly of Au NPs into porous sponges. The use of very low concentration of SH-PEG (ca. 20-200 nM) in aqueous solution at room temperature makes the method highly eco-friendly as well as results in high-purity as-synthesized gold sponges (98.7 wt %). The mesoporous gold sponges fabricated with the present method exhibit a high SERS activity, making them highly applicable for sensitive SERS detection of molecules.

Abstract
Jet production rates are measured in p+p and d+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV recorded in 2008 with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Jets are reconstructed using the R=0.3 anti-k_{t} algorithm from energy deposits in the electromagnetic calorimeter and charged tracks in multiwire proportional chambers, and the jet transverse momentum (p_{T}) spectra are corrected for the detector response. Spectra are reported for jets with 12<p_{T}<50 GeV/c, within a pseudorapidity acceptance of |η|<0.3. The nuclear-modification factor (R_{dAu}) values for 0%-100% d+Au events are found to be consistent with unity, constraining the role of initial state effects on jet production. However, the centrality-selected R_{dAu} values and central-to-peripheral ratios (R_{CP}) show large, p_{T}-dependent deviations from unity, challenging the conventional models that relate hard-process rates and soft-particle production in collisions involving nuclei.

Abstract
Agastachis Herba is one of the well-known medicinal herbs in Korean traditional medicine. This study was taken up to examine the beneficial effects of Agastachis Herba on a mice model of asthma. BALB/c mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin to produce a murine model of asthma. Methanol extracts of Agastachis Herba were orally administered to the ovalbumin-induced asthmatic mice. The effects of methanol extract of Agastachis Herba on airway hyper responsiveness, immune cell distributions in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, ovalbumin-specific immunoglobulin E in serum, and histopathological changes were evaluated. Mice treated with the methanol extract of Agastachis Herba showed reduction of airway hyper responsiveness as well as inhibited immune cell infiltration in bronchoalveolar region. Also ovalbumin-specific immunoglobulin E levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid significantly decreased in extract treated mice. Histopathological findings showed significant beneficial changes in inflammatory cell infiltration.

Abstract
Background: The purpose of this randomised phase III trial was to evaluate whether the addition of simvastatin, a synthetic 3-hydroxy-3methyglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor, to XELIRI/FOLFIRI chemotherapy regimens confers a clinical benefit to patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. Methods: We undertook a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III trial of 269 patients previously treated for metastatic colorectal cancer and enrolled in 5 centres in South Korea. Patients were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to one of the following groups: FOLFIRI/XELIRI plus simvastatin (40 mg) or FOLFIRI/XELIRI plus placebo. The FOLFIRI regimen consisted of irinotecan at 180 mg m−2 as a 90-min infusion, leucovorin at 200 mg m−2 as a 2-h infusion, and a bolus injection of 5-FU 400 mg m−2 followed by a 46-h continuous infusion of 5-FU at 2400 mg m−2. The XELIRI regimen consisted of irinotecan at 250 mg m−2 as a 90-min infusion with capecitabine 1000 mg m−2 twice daily for 14 days. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points included response rate, duration of response, overall survival (OS), time to progression, and toxicity. Results: Between April 2010 and July 2013, 269 patients were enrolled and assigned to treatment groups (134 simvastatin, 135 placebo). The median PFS was 5.9 months (95% CI, 4.5–7.3) in the XELIRI/FOLFIRI plus simvastatin group and 7.0 months (95% CI, 5.4–8.6) in the XELIRI/FOLFIRI plus placebo group (P=0.937). No significant difference was observed between the two groups with respect to OS (median, 15.9 months (simvastatin) vs 19.9 months (placebo), P=0.826). Grade ⩾3 nausea and anorexia were noted slightly more often in patients in the simvastatin arm compared with with the placebo arm (4.5% vs 0.7%, 3.0% vs 0%, respectively). Conclusions: The addition of 40 mg simvastatin to the XELIRI/FOLFIRI regimens did not improve PFS in patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer nor did it increase toxicity.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of elliptic (v(2)) and triangular (v(3)) flow in high-multiplicity (3)He+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=200 GeV. Two-particle correlations, where the particles have a large separation in pseudorapidity, are compared in (3)He+Au and in p+p collisions and indicate that collective effects dominate the second and third Fourier components for the correlations observed in the (3)He+Au system. The collective behavior is quantified in terms of elliptic v(2) and triangular v(3) anisotropy coefficients measured with respect to their corresponding event planes. The v(2) values are comparable to those previously measured in d+Au collisions at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy. Comparisons with various theoretical predictions are made, including to models where the hot spots created by the impact of the three (3)He nucleons on the Au nucleus expand hydrodynamically to generate the triangular flow. The agreement of these models with data may indicate the formation of low-viscosity quark-gluon plasma even in these small collision systems.

Abstract
We have investigated the distributions of individually isolated and hydrophilically functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (p-SWNTs) in the Pluronic L121-water system at the reverse hexagonal phase using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and contrast-matched small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. As the p-SWNT-L121-water system is transitioned from the lamellar phase to the reverse hexagonal phase with temperature, p-SWNTs which were selectively distributed in the polar layers of the lamellar structure become selectively distributed in the cylindrical polar cores of the reverse hexagonal structure, forming a hexagonal array of p-SWNTs. This was clearly confirmed by the contrast-matched SANS measurements. The selective distribution of p-SWNTs in the reverse hexagonal phase is driven by the selective affinity of p-SWNTs to the polar domains of the block copolymer system. The method demonstrated in this study provides a new route for fabricating ordered SWNT superstructures and may be applicable for inorganic 1D nanoparticles such as semiconducting, metallic and magnetic nanorods which are of great interest.

Abstract
We present azimuthal angular correlations between charged hadrons and energy deposited in calorimeter towers in central d+Au and minimum bias p+p collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The charged hadron is measured at midrapidity |η|<0.35, and the energy is measured at large rapidity (-3.7<η<-3.1, Au-going direction). An enhanced near-side angular correlation across |Δη|>2.75 is observed in d+Au collisions. Using the event plane method applied to the Au-going energy distribution, we extract the anisotropy strength v_{2} for inclusive charged hadrons at midrapidity up to p_{T}=4.5 GeV/c. We also present the measurement of v_{2} for identified π^{±} and (anti)protons in central d+Au collisions, and observe a mass-ordering pattern similar to that seen in heavy-ion collisions. These results are compared with viscous hydrodynamic calculations and measurements from p+Pb at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. The magnitude of the mass ordering in d+Au is found to be smaller than that in p+Pb collisions, which may indicate smaller radial flow in lower energy d+Au collisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between progressive motor deficits (PMD) in acute pontine infarction and basilar stenosis is unclear. High resolution MRI (HRMRI) is an emerging tool for basilar artery evaluation and might provide more accurate information. We aimed to analyze the association between basilar plaque assessed by HRMRI and PMD after acute pontine infarction. METHODS We identified consecutive patients with unilateral pontine infarction within 24 h of stroke onset. All the patients underwent diffusion weighted MRI, MR angiography and HRMRI within 24 h of admission. PMD was defined as an increase in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score by ≥1 during hospitalization. Factors potentially associated with PMD were validated by multivariate analyses. RESULTS Of a total of 87 patients, 63 (72%) had paramedian pontine infarction (PPI) and PMD was observed in 28 (32%) patients. Apparent basilar plaque assessed by HRMRI was more frequent in those with PMD than in those without PMD (52% versus 33%, p<0.001). In contrast, the frequency of basilar stenosis (>30%) assessed by MR angiography was similar regardless of PMD. In the patients with PPI, PMD was associated with hypertension and apparent plaque on HRMRI. After adjusting covariates, PMD was independently associated with apparent plaque on HRMRI (OR, 9.1; 95% CI 1.4-58.9). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that basilar plaque assessed by HRMRI is associated with PMD in patients with acute unilateral pontine infarction. Since basilar stenosis may be underestimated by MR angiography, HRMRI may provide additional information for predicting PMD and evaluating basilar artery stenosis.

Abstract
We report a highly ordered intercalated hexagonal binary superlattice of hydrophilically functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (p-SWNTs) and surfactant (C12 E5 ) cylindrical micelles. When p-SWNTs (with a diameter slightly larger than that of the C12 E5 cylinders) were added to the hexagonally packed C12 E5 cylindrical-micellar system, p-SWNTs positioned themselves in such a way that the free-volume entropies for both p-SWNTs and C12 E5 cylinders were maximized, thus resulting in the intercalated hexagonal binary superlattice. In this binary superlattice, a hexagonal array of p-SWNTs is embedded in a honeycomb lattice of C12 E5 cylinders. The intercalated hexagonal binary superlattice can be highly aligned in one direction by an oscillatory shear field and remains aligned after the shear is removed.

Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured open heavy-flavor production via semileptonic decay over the transverse momentum range 1 < p(T) < 6 GeV/c at forward and backward rapidity (1.4 < |y| < 2.0) in d+Au and p + p collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. In central d+Au collisions, relative to the yield in p + p collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, a suppression is observed at forward rapidity (in the d-going direction) and an enhancement at backward rapidity (in the Au-going direction). Predictions using nuclear-modified-parton-distribution functions, even with additional nuclear-p(T) broadening, cannot simultaneously reproduce the data at both rapidity ranges, which implies that these models are incomplete and suggests the possible importance of final-state interactions in the asymmetric d + Au collision system. These results can be used to probe cold-nuclear-matter effects, which may significantly affect heavy-quark production, in addition to helping constrain the magnitude of charmonia-breakup effects in nuclear matter.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients with surgically confirmed periampullary cancers [30 PDACs, 15 distal common bile duct (CBD) cancers, 13 ampullary cancers, and two duodenal cancers] who underwent liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included in this study. Two reviewers independently evaluated unenhanced and gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI (T1WI image set), and a combined T2WI and T1WI image set for differentiation between PDAC and other periampullary carcinomas using a rating scale, and the presence of the dark choledochal ring sign on T2WI, for all 60 tumours. RESULTS In PDAC, the dark choledochal ring sign on T2WI was considered positive in 23 cases by observer 1 and 24 cases by observer 2, but only in one or two CBD cancers, as determined by each observer, respectively. This resulted in sensitivities of 76.7% and 80% and specificities of 96.7% and 93.3% for observer 1 and 2, respectively, in the diagnosis of PDAC. Adding T2WI correctly led to a change of diagnosis in three and four cases of PDAC by each observer, respectively. Thus, there were significant differences between the two image sets for both observers in distinguishing between PDAC and other periampullary carcinomas (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION The presence of the dark choledochal ring sign on axial T2WI could be a complementary imaging feature indicative of PDAC to differentiate PDAC from other periampullary carcinomas at MRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anticoagulation with warfarin is influenced by dietary changes but the effect of fasting on warfarin therapy is unknown. OBJECTIVES To study changes in international normalized ratio (INR) and the percentage of time within therapeutic range (%TTR) before, during and after the Muslim fasting month (Ramadan) in stable warfarinised Muslim patients. METHODS/PATIENTS In this prospective study, weekly INR readings were taken at home visits from participating patients during three study periods: before, during and after Ramadan. Readings were blinded to patients and their primary physicians except for when pre-set study endpoints were reached. RESULTS Among 32 participating patients, mean INR increased by 0.23 (P = 0.006) during Ramadan from the pre-Ramadan month and decreased by 0.28 (P < 0.001) after Ramadan. There was no significant difference (P = 1.000) in mean INR between the non-Ramadan months. %TTR declined from 80.99% before Ramadan to 69.56% during Ramadan (P = 0.453). The first out-of-range INR was seen around 12.1 days (95% CI, 9.0-15.1) after the start of fasting and returned to range at about 10.8 days (95% CI, 7.9-13.7) after Ramadan. Time above range increased from 10.80% pre-Ramadan to 29.87% during Ramadan (P = 0.027), while time below range increased from 0.57% during Ramadan to 15.49% post-Ramadan (P = 0.006). No bleeding or thrombotic events were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Fasting significantly increases the mean INR of medically stable patients taking warfarin and the likelihood of having an INR above therapeutic targets. For patients maintained at the higher end of INR target ranges or at increased risk of bleeding, closer monitoring or dosage adjustment may be necessary during fasting.
