Interplay of spin-orbit coupling and Coulomb interaction in ZnO-based electron system. Nat Commun 2021; 12:3180.

Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is pivotal for various fundamental spin-dependent phenomena in solids and their technological applications. In semiconductors, these phenomena have been so far studied in relatively weak electron-electron interaction regimes, where the single electron picture holds. However, SOC can profoundly compete against Coulomb interaction, which could lead to the emergence of unconventional electronic phases. Since SOC depends on the electric field in the crystal including contributions of itinerant electrons, electron-electron interactions can modify this coupling. Here we demonstrate the emergence of the SOC effect in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system in a simple band structure MgZnO/ZnO semiconductor. This electron system also features strong electron-electron interaction effects. By changing the carrier density with Mg-content, we tune the SOC strength and achieve its interplay with electron-electron interaction. These systems pave a way to emergent spintronic phenomena in strong electron correlation regimes and to the formation of quasiparticles with the electron spin strongly coupled to the density.

Large Variation of Dirac Semimetal State in Perovskite CaIrO_{3} with Pressure-Tuning of Electron Correlation. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2019; 123:216601.

Abstract
The impact of electron correlation on the Dirac semimetal state is investigated for perovskite CaIrO_{3} in terms of the magnetotransport properties under varying pressures. The reduction of electron correlation with a pressure of 1 GPa enhances the Fermi velocity as much as 40%, but it reduces the mobility by an order of magnitude by detuning the Dirac node from the Fermi energy. Moreover, the giant magnetoresistance at the quantum limit due to the one-dimensional confinement of Dirac electrons is critically suppressed under pressure. These results indicate that the electron correlation is a crucial knob for controlling the transport of a correlated Dirac semimetal.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The most effective approach for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) ablation remained undetermined. Here, we hypothesized that selective linear ablation (SLA) according to the type of tachycardia induced by burst atrial pacing (BAP) after pulmonary venous isolation (PVI) in single-procedure reduces the recurrence.
Methods
A cohort of 66 LSPAF patients (Mean age 71.0±8.2 years, AF duration 40.5±58.8 months) who underwent PVI in single-procedure between April 2016 and November 2018 was evaluated.
Results
Any sustained atrial tachycardia (AT) or AF were not inducible by BAP after PVI in 21 patients (Non-inducible group, 31.8%, 71.3±7.9 years, 34.4±54.2 months). These patients underwent cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation after PVI. Forty-one patients underwent selective liner ablation according to the type of tachycardia induced by BAP after PVI (SLA group, 62.1%, 71.2±8.3 years, 39.3±55.6 months). Maccroreentry ATs (6 common atrial flutter, 5 AT originating from left atrial anterior wall, 2 peri-mitral atrial flutter, 1 roof-dependent atrial flutter) were induced by BAP in 14 patients of SLA group (73.2±19.7 years, 51.7±83.5 months). RF applications created the complete linear lesions to terminate maccroreentry ATs. Sustained AF was induced by BAP after PVI in 27 patients of SLA group (70.2±9.2 years, 32.9±31.2 months). These patients underwent posterior wall isolation (PWI) and CTI ablation. Unmappable AT was induced by BAP after PVI in 4 patients (Non-SLA group, 6.1%, 67.0±9.7 years, 84.5±105.6 months). These patients underwent PWI, CTI and mitral isthmus ablation on an empirical basis instead of SLA. Using a 90-day blanking period, the single-procedure Kaplan-Meier estimates of AT or AF event-free survival were 79% at 12 months. During follow-up (14.5±8.0 months), although 19 /21 (90.5%) of Non-inducible group patients and 33/41 (80.5%) of SLA group patients did not experience AT or AF recurrence, all of Non-SLA group patients experienced AF recurrence. There was no difference between Non-inducible group and SLA group in predicting recurrence of AT or AF (p=0.3). However, there was a difference when compared with Non-SLA group (each p<0.001). Non-SLA group was an independent powerful predictor resulting in recurrence of AF after adjusting for potential confounding factors (adjusted hazard ratio = 7.17; 95% confidence interval; 2.2–23.1, p=0.001, Wald χ2=10.9). Furthermore, in Kaplan-Meier survival curves for predicting AT or AF recurrence, Non-SLA group was the significant predictive marker of AT or AF recurrence (Log-Lank χ2=18.0, p<0.001).
Kaplan-Meier survival curves
Conclusions
In LSPAF patients without inducibility of any tachycardia after PVI, sinus rhythm was highly maintained without stepwise ablation other than CTI ablation. SLA reduced recurrence of AF in LSPAF patients with AT and AF induced after PVI. In addition, nonselective liner ablations for unmappable AT after PVI were less effective in LSPAF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Lethal-ventricular-arrhythmia (VA) could be sometimes initiated by idiopathic Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) originated form inferior wall. Furthermore, J-wave elevation in inferior leads was sometimes associated with lethal-VA. However, it was unclear the relationship between these PVCs and J-wave elevation in patients with lethal-VA.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between PVCs and J-wave elevation.
Methods and results
We studied 32 patients who underwent radiofrequency (RF) ablation of idiopathic PVCs with RBBB and superior axis. These PVCs were originating from inferior wall of left ventricular. Lethal-VA was defined as ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) with loss of consciousness (LOC). Among 32 patients, 3 had VF and 2 had VT with LOC. Other 27 had non-lethal-VA. Baseline clinical characteristics were not significantly difference between lethal and non-lethal-VA. The ratio of J-wave elevation in lethal-VA was significant higher as compared to those with non-lethal-VA (5/5 (100%) vs. 3/27 (11.1%), p<0.0001). Furthermore, no patients had recurrence of lethal-VA with J wave elevation in inferior leads after RF ablation of these PVCs with RBBB and superior axis,
Conclusions
We speculated that J-wave elevation in inferior leads might be a predictor of lethal-VA initiated by PVCs with RBBB and superior axis. RF ablation of these PVCs were useful method of treating lethal-VA.

Pentosidine correlates with nanomechanical properties of human jaw bone. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2019; 98:20-25.

Abstract
Initial intimate apposition between implant fixtures and host bone at the surgical site is a critical factor for osseointegration of dental implants. The advanced glycation end products accumulated in the jaw bone could lead to potential failure of a dental implant during the initial integration stage, because of the inferior bone mechanical property associated with the abnormal collagen cross-linking at the material level. Here, we demonstrate the lowered creep deformation resistance and reduced dimensional recovery of jaw bone in line with high levels of pentosidine accumulation in the bone matrix which likely correlate with the pentosidine level in blood plasma. Peripheral blood samples and cortical bone samples at the surgical site were obtained from patients scheduled for dental implants in the mandible. The pentosidine levels in blood plasma were assessed. Subsequently, the relative pentosidine levels and the mechanical properties of the jaw bone were quantified by Raman microspectroscopy and nanoindentation, respectively. The nanoindentation tests revealed less creep deformation resistance and reduced time-dependent dimensional recovery of bone samples with the increase in the relative pentosidine level in the bone matrix. Higher tan δ values at the various frequencies during the dynamic indentation tests also suggested that viscoelasticity is associated with the relative intensity of pentosidine in the jaw bone matrix. We found a positive correlation between the pentosidine levels in blood plasma and the bone matrix, which in turn reduced the mechanical property of the jaw bone at the material level. Increased creep and reduced dimensional recovery of the jaw bone may diminish the mechanical interlocking of dental implants during the initial integration stage. Given the likely correlation between the plasma pentosidine level and the mechanical properties of bone, measurement of the plasma pentosidine level could serve as a new index to assess jaw bone matrix quality in advance of implant surgery.

Abstract
Electrons in conventional metals become less mobile under the influence of electron correlation. Contrary to this empirical knowledge, we report here that electrons with the highest mobility ever found in known bulk oxide semiconductors emerge in the strong-correlation regime of the Dirac semimetal of perovskite CaIrO3. The transport measurements reveal that the high mobility exceeding 60,000 cm2V−1s−1 originates from the proximity of the Fermi energy to the Dirac node (ΔE < 10 meV). The calculation based on the density functional theory and the dynamical mean field theory reveals that the energy difference becomes smaller as the system approaches the Mott transition, highlighting a crucial role of correlation effects cooperating with the spin-orbit coupling. The correlation-induced self-tuning of Dirac node enables the quantum limit at a modest magnetic field with a giant magnetoresistance, thus providing an ideal platform to study the novel phenomena of correlated Dirac electron. Electron correlation normally makes electrons less mobile, but it is still not clear when correlation becomes very strong in Dirac semimetals. Here, Fujioka et al. report a very high electron mobility exceeding 60,000 cm2V−1s−1 in correlated Dirac semimetal of perovskite CaIrO3, due to the enhanced electron correlation nearby the Mott transition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunocomplex capture fluorescence analysis (ICFA) detects donor-specific antihuman leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (DSA), but the detection sensitivity of HLA class II antibodies using conventional ICFA is as low as 57%. The aim of the study was to improve the detection sensitivity of HLA class II antibodies by ICFA, and compare the ICFA results with the Luminex single-antigen bead test. METHODS Six DSA-negative kidney transplant donors and recipient pairs and 10 HLA class II DSA-positive pairs were included in the study. The detection sensitivity of modified ICFA was compared with conventional ICFA, and the ICFA results were compared with the Luminex single-antigen bead test. RESULTS The index value of modified ICFA was higher than that of conventional ICFA. The cutoff value of conventional ICFA was 30,686 (MFI), which was improved to 19,405 using modified ICFA. Regarding the HLA-DQ antibody, 5 samples found to be positive by Luminex single-antigen bead testing were all negative using modified ICFA. The reason for this discrepancy could be related to: (1) the difference in detection sensitivity; (2) the difference in HLA antigen surface expression between naive lymphocytes and synthetic beads; or (3) the structure of synthetic HLA DQ antigen on the Luminex single-antigen beads. CONCLUSION The index value of the modified ICFA was higher than that of conventional ICFA, and the detection sensitivity of HLA class II antibodies was improved by modified ICFA. Further assessment is necessary to clarify the reasons for divergence between ICFA and Luminex single-antigen bead test results.

Abstract
Quantum EXPRESSO is an integrated suite of open-source computer codes for quantum simulations of materials using state-of-the-art electronic-structure techniques, based on density-functional theory, density-functional perturbation theory, and many-body perturbation theory, within the plane-wave pseudopotential and projector-augmented-wave approaches. Quantum EXPRESSO owes its popularity to the wide variety of properties and processes it allows to simulate, to its performance on an increasingly broad array of hardware architectures, and to a community of researchers that rely on its capabilities as a core open-source development platform to implement their ideas. In this paper we describe recent extensions and improvements, covering new methodologies and property calculators, improved parallelization, code modularization, and extended interoperability both within the distribution and with external software.

Abstract
The axion insulator which may exhibit an exotic quantized magnetoelectric effect is one of the most interesting quantum phases predicted for the three-dimensional topological insulator (TI). The axion insulator state is expected to show up in magnetically doped TIs with magnetizations pointing inwards and outwards from the respective surfaces. Towards the realization of the axion insulator, we here engineered a TI heterostructure in which magnetic ions (Cr) are modulation-doped only in the vicinity of the top and bottom surfaces of the TI ((Bi,Sb)2Te3) film. A separation layer between the two magnetic layers weakens interlayer coupling between them, enabling the magnetization reversal of individual layers. We demonstrate the realization of the axion insulator by observing a zero Hall plateau (ZHP) (where both the Hall and longitudinal conductivity become zero) in the electric transport properties, excluding the other possible origins for the ZHP. The manifestation of the axion insulator can lead to a new stage of research on novel magnetoelectric responses in topological matter.

Abstract
Soft denture liners are used for edentulous patients to cushion functional forces. We hypothesized that the application of soft liners having viscoelastic properties would lead to the most marked improvement in masticatory function. The shear storage modulus ( G′), shear loss modulus ( G′′), and loss tangent (tan δ) were determined for 6 materials by means of a dynamic viscoelastometer. Masticatory function of ten subjects was evaluated by measurements of maximum bite forces and chewing times and frequencies for 2 food samples, and by the use of visual analogue scales. The acrylic materials exhibited viscoelastic behavior, while the silicones exhibited elastic behavior. The improvement in masticatory function compared with hard resin was found to be in the order: acrylic permanent materials > silicone > acrylic temporary materials. The results suggest that the use of materials with higher tan δ and G′ provides the most optimum masticatory function for patients requiring the provision of soft liners on their dentures.

Abstract
Manipulating the spins of the topological surface states represents an essential step towards exploring the exotic quantum states emerging from the time reversal symmetry breaking via magnetic doping or external magnetic fields. The latter case relies on the Zeeman effect and thereby we need to estimate the g-factor of the topological surface state precisely. Here, we report the direct observations of the Zeeman effect at the surfaces of Bi2Se3 and Sb2Te2Se by spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunnelling microscopy. The Zeeman shift of the zero mode Landau level is identified unambiguously by appropriately excluding the extrinsic effects arising from the nonlinearity in the band dispersion of the topological surface state and the spatially varying potential. Surprisingly, the g-factors of the topological surface states in Bi2Se3 and Sb2Te2Se are very different (+18 and −6, respectively). Such remarkable material dependence opens up a new route to control the spins of the topological surface states. The knowledge of how electrons behave under magnetic field provides inherent information for exotic quantum states. Here, Fu et al. find different g-factors of topological surface states in Bi2Se3 and Sb2Te2Se, which suggests possible control of such states in spin-related applications.

P450 oxidoreductase deficiency with maternal virilization during pregnancy. CLIN EXP OBSTET GYN 2016; 43:902-904.

Abstract
PURPOSE The authors report on a rare case of maternal virilization during pregnancy caused by autosomal recessive P450 oxidore- ductase (POR) deficiency. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 24-year-old primigravida developed a deepening voice and hirsutism in the second trimester. Prenatal ultrasonography failed to detect any fetal abnormality and fetal growth was normal. POR deficiency was suspected, but the mother declined fetal genetic testing. A female neonate was delivered by cesarean section at 41 weeks' gestation. RESULTS The neonate had skeletal abnormalities. Mutational analysis of the POR gene demonstrated homozygosity for c.1370 G>A and p.R457H in the patient and heterozygosity in her parents. POR deficiency was confirmed in the neonate. CONCLUSION POR deficiency should be suspected in cases of maternal virilization. Maternal urinary estriol, fetal magnetic resonance imaging, and parental genetic testing should be performed. Parental consent for fetal genetic testing should be sought to ensure prompt diagnosis and early treatment.
