Abstract
Some rodlike organic molecules exhibit exceptionally high layered crystallinity when composed of a link between π-conjugated backbone (head) and alkyl chain (tail). These molecules are aligned side-by-side unidirectionally to form self-organized polar monomolecular layers, providing promising 2D materials and devices. However, their interlayer stacking arrangements have never been tunable, preventing the unidirectional arrangements of molecules in whole crystals. Here, it is demonstrated that polar/antipolar interlayer stacking can be systematically controlled by the alkyl carbon number n, when the molecules are designed to involve effectively weakened head-to-head affinity. They exhibit remarkable odd-even effect in the interlayer stacking: alternating head-to-head and tail-to-tail (antipolar) arrangement in odd-n crystals, and uniform head-to-tail (polar) arrangement in even-n crystals. The films show excellent field-effect transistor characteristics presenting unique polar/antipolar dependence and considerably improved subthreshold swing in the polar films. Additionally, the polar films present enhanced second-order nonlinear optical response along normal to the film plane. These findings are key for creating polarity-controlled optoelectronic materials and devices.

Abstract
In this study, we performed high-magnetic-field magnetization, dielectric, and ultrasound measurements on an organic salt showing a ferroelectric spin-Peierls (FSP) state, which is in close proximity to a quantum critical point. In contrast to the sparsely distributed gaslike spin solitons typically observed in conventional spin-Peierls (SP) states, the FSP state exhibits dense liquidlike spin solitons resulting from strong quantum fluctuations, even at low fields. Nevertheless, akin to conventional SP systems, a magnetic-field-induced transition is observed in the FSP state. In conventional high-field SP states, an emergent wave vector results in the formation of a spin-soliton lattice. However, in the present high-field FSP state, the strong quantum fluctuations preclude the formation of such a soliton lattice, causing the dense solitons to remain in a quantum-mechanically melted state. This observation implies the realization of a quantum liquid-liquid transition of topological particles carrying spin and charge in a ferroelectric insulator.

Abstract
Switchable π-electron systems are very powerful fragments to emphasize ferroelectric or antiferroelectric polarizations up to record-high levels among organic molecular crystals. According to the Cambridge Structural Database, many azole crystals such as imidazoles and tetrazoles contain polar and bistable hydrogen-bonded molecular sequences suitable for ferroelectricity or antiferroelectricity. Indeed, polarization hysteresis experiments on the 5-phenyl-1H-tetrazole (PHTZ) family combined with single crystal structural analysis have revealed one ferroelectric, two antiferroelectrics, and two hybrid-like dielectrics. Here, the rich variations for the interrelation between the hydrogen-bonding states and the polarization switching modes are interpreted by density functional theory (DFT) calculations with an excellent consistency. Large switchable polarizations are theoretically confirmed, and, as expected, the largest contribution is the switchable π-electron systems. By mapping the energy levels of polar/antipolar states, the disordered hydrogen bonds always appear when the ground state is accompanied by a nearly degenerate state. The straightforward case is the hybrid-like dielectric caused by the competition between the polar and antipolar states. However, contrastive behaviors are observed when the switchable dipoles are involved in competition between the different antipolar arrangement. For example, the PHTZ crystal exhibits typical antiferroelectric switching regardless of the hydrogen disorder, whereas polarization switching is silent in the imidazole derivatives. The latter is explained by the switching field increase with depth of the ground state relative to the energy level of the polar state.

Abstract
Some organic ferroelectrics have two possible switching modes: molecular reorientation and proton transfer. Typical examples include 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) and Hdabco-ReO[Formula: see text] (dabco = diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane). The direction and amplitude of the expected polarization depends on the switching mode. Herein a straightforward method to identify the ferroelectric switching mechanism is demonstrated. First, the relationship between the polarization vectors corresponding to the two modes is illustrated using the Berry phase. Second, the theoretical background for the sign of the piezoelectric coefficient is used to decide which mode occurs. Finally, comparing the theoretically calculated piezoelectric coefficients to the experimental results confirms the switching mode of each compound.

Abstract
Dielectrics that undergo electric-field-induced phase changes are promising for use as high-power electrical energy storage materials and transducers. We demonstrate the stepwise on/off switching of large polarization in a series of dielectrics by flipping their antipolar or canted electric dipoles via proton transfer and inducing simultaneous geometric changes in their π-conjugation system. Among antiferroelectric organic molecular crystals, the largest-magnitude polarization jump was obtained as 18 μC cm−2 through revisited measurements of squaric acid (SQA) crystals with improved dielectric strength. The second-best polarization jump of 15.1 μC cm−2 was achieved with a newly discovered antiferroelectric, furan-3,4-dicarboxylic acid. The field-induced dielectric phase changes show rich variations in their mechanisms. The quadruple polarization hysteresis loop observed for a 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propiolic acid crystal was caused by a two-step phase transition with moderate polarization jumps. The ferroelectric 2-phenylmalondialdehyde single crystal having canted dipoles behaved as an amphoteric dielectric, exhibiting a single or double polarization hysteresis loop depending on the direction of the external field. The magnitude of a series of observed polarizations was consistently reproduced within the simplest sublattice model by the density functional theory calculations of dipole moments flipping over a hydrogen-bonded chain or sheet (sublattice) irrespective of compounds. This finding guarantees a tool that will deepen our understanding of the microscopic phase-change mechanisms and accelerate the materials design and exploration for improving energy-storage performance. The excellent energy-storage performance of SQA was demonstrated by both a high recoverable energy-storage density Wr of 3.3 J cm−3 and a nearly ideal efficiency (90%). Because of the low crystal density, the corresponding energy density per mass (1.75 J g−1) exceeded those derived from the highest Wr values (∼8–11 J cm−3) reported for several bulk antiferroelectric ceramics , without modification to relaxor forms. Electric-field induced phase changes, which are promising for use in high-power electrical energy storage, can be realized in a series of organic dielectrics by flipping the antipolar or canted electric dipoles via proton transfer.![]()

Abstract
Metaelectric transition, i.e. an abrupt increase in polarization with an electric field is just a phase change phenomenon in dielectrics and attracts increasing interest for practical applications such as electrical energy storage and highly deformable transducers. Here we demonstrate that both field-induced metaelectric transitions and temperature-induced phase transitions occur successively on a crystal of highly polarizable bis-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-methane (BI2C) molecules. In each molecule, two switchable polar subunits are covalently linked with each other. By changing the NH hydrogen location, the low- and high-dipole states of each molecule can be interconverted, turning on and off the polarization of hydrogen-bonded molecular ribbons. In the low-temperature phase III, the tetragonal crystal lattice comprises orthogonally crossed arrays of polar ribbons made up of a ladder-like hydrogen-bond network of fully polarized molecules. The single-step metaelectric transition from this phase III corresponds to the forced alignment of antiparallel dipoles typical of antiferroelectrics. By the transition to the intermediate-temperature phase II, the polarity is turned off for half of the ribbons so that the nonpolar and polar ribbons are orthogonal to each other. Considering also the ferroelastic-like crystal twinning, the doubled steps of metaelectric transitions observed in the phase II can be explained by the additional switching at different critical fields, by which the nonpolar ribbons undergo "metadielectric" molecular transformation restoring the strong polarization. This mechanism inevitably brings about exotic phase change phenomena transforming the multi-domain state of a homogeneous phase into an inhomogeneous (phase mixture) state.

Abstract
The construction and control of 2D layered molecular packing motifs with functionally substituted π-electron cores are crucial for developing organic electronic materials and devices. We investigated a regioisomeric structure–property relationship in high-performance and solution-processable layered organic semiconductors based on mono-octyl-substituted benzothieno[3,2-b]naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene (mono-C8-BTNT). We demonstrated that an isomorphous bilayer-type layered herringbone packing motif is obtainable in a series of four positional isomers of mono-C8-BTNTs whose π-electron core is substituted by an octyl chain at one of the four most peripheral positions with roughly keeping the rod-like molecular shape. These regioisomeric compounds exhibited systematic variations in the solvent solubility and liquid-crystalline phase transitions at elevated temperatures. The analysis of intermolecular interaction energies in the crystals based on dispersion-corrected DFT calculations revealed that the crystals of 2- and 8-mono-C8-BTNTs are more stable than those of 3- and 9-mono-C8-BTNTs owing to the higher ordering of alkyl chain layers in the crystals. Such differences of the stability in their crystal formation are closely correlated with TFT performances, where the single-crystal devices of the 2- and 8-mono-C8-BTNTs substituted at the most peripheral positions exhibit high-performance TFT characteristics with a mobility of approximately 10 cm2 V−1 s−1. An isomorphous bilayer-type layered herringbone crystal packing is reported for a series of four positional isomers of mono-C8-BTNTs, where the single-crystal devices with the isomers exhibit high-performance TFT characteristics.![]()

Abstract
The concept of topology has been widely applied in condensed matter physics, leading to the identification of peculiar electronic states on three-dimensional (3D) surfaces or 2D lines separating topologically distinctive regions. In the systems explored so far, the topological boundaries are built-in walls; thus, their motional degrees of freedom, which potentially bring about new paradigms, have been experimentally inaccessible. Here, working with a quasi-1D organic material with a charge-transfer instability, we show that mobile neutral-ionic (dielectric-ferroelectric) domain boundaries with topological charges carry strongly 1D-confined and anomalously large electrical conduction with an energy gap much smaller than the one-particle excitation gap. This consequence is further supported by nuclear magnetic resonance detection of spin solitons, which are required for steady current of topological charges. The present observation of topological charge transport may open a new channel for broad charge transport-related phenomena such as thermoelectric effects.

Abstract
Supramolecular cocrystals of anilic acids with 2,2′-bipyridines exhibit successive phase transitions as well as unusual isotope effects. Ferroelectricity driven by a cooperative proton transfer along the supramolecular chains is accompanied by huge permittivity (a maximum of 13 000) at the Curie point, as well as a large spontaneous polarization (maximum 5 μC cm−2) and a low coercive field ranging from 0.5 to 10 kV cm−1. Deuterium substitutions over the hydrogen bonds smoothly raise the Curie point and simultaneously reduce other phase-transition temperatures by a few tens of degrees. The coexistence of opposite isotope effects reduces the temperature interval of the intermediate paraelectric phase from 84 to 10 K for the 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridinium bromanilate salt. The bipyridine molecules exhibit interplanar twisting, which represents the order parameter relevant to the high-temperature phase transitions. The normal and inverse temperature shifts are ascribed to the direct and indirect effects, respectively, of the lengthened hydrogen bonds, which adjusts the molecular conformation of the flexible bipyridine unit so as to minimally modify their adjacent intermolecular interactions. Deuterium substitutions of the hydrogen-bonded ferroelectrics smoothly raise the Curie point and simultaneously reduce other phase-transition temperatures by a few tens of degrees.![]()

Abstract
Topological defects have been explored in different fields ranging from condensed matter physics and particle physics to cosmology. In condensed matter, strong coupling between charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom brings about emergent excitations with topological characteristics at low energies. One-dimensional (1D) systems with degenerate dimerization patterns are typical stages for the generation of topological defects, dubbed "solitons"; for instance, charged solitons are responsible for high electrical conductivity in doped trans-polyacetylene. Here, we provide evidence based on a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study for mobile spin solitons deconfined from a strongly charge-lattice-coupled spin-singlet ferroelectric order in a quasi-1D organic charge-transfer complex. The NMR spectral shift and relaxation rate associated with static and dynamic spin susceptibilities indicate that the ferroelectric order is violated by dilute solitonic spin excitations, which were further demonstrated to move diffusively by the frequency dependence of the relaxation rate. The traveling solitons revealed here may promise the emergence of anomalous electrical and thermal transport.

Abstract
The field-induced antipolar-polar structural transition in an organic antiferroelectric 2-trifluoromethylnaphthimidazole crystal is investigated by performing synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The polarities of all of the hydrogen-bonded chains become parallel with each other in the presence of an external electric field. The switching is accompanied by a giant electrostriction, which provides 1 order of magnitude larger strain than the piezoelectric strain of the organic ferroelectrics: croconic acid and poly(vinylidene fluoride); however, it is comparable to those of typical commercial piezoelectric ceramics. The crystal structure analysis with electric field shows that the origin of the observed giant electrostriction can be attributed to the shear strain that emerges from the polarity switching of the hydrogen-bonded chains. The antipolar-polar structural transition in antiferroelectrics could be employed for the development of high-performance electrostrictive organic materials.

Abstract
The electric-field-induced phase transition from antipolar to polar structures is at the heart of antiferroelectricity. We demonstrate direct evidence of antiferroelectricity by applying a strong electric field to two antipolar crystals of squaric acid (SQA) and 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridinium chloranilate. The field-induced polarization of SQA is quite large and reasonably explained by the theoretically calculated polarization on the hydrogen-bonded sheet sublattice. The pseudo-tetragonal lattice of SQA permits unique switching topologies that produce two different ferroelectric phases of low and high polarizations. By tilting the applied field direction, the electrical switching mechanism can be attributed to a 90° rotation of the sheet polarization. From the viewpoint of applications, the strong polarization, high switching field, and quite slim hysteresis observed in the polarization versus electric field curve for SQA are advantageous for excellent-efficiency energy storage devices.

Abstract
Shift current is a steady-state photocurrent generated in non-centrosymmetric single crystals and has been considered to be one of the major origins of the bulk photovoltaic effect. The mechanism of this effect is the transfer of photogenerated charges by the shift of the wave functions, and its amplitude is closely related to the polarization of the electronic origin. Here, we report the photovoltaic effect in an organic molecular crystal tetrathiafulvalene-p-chloranil with a large ferroelectric polarization mostly induced by the intermolecular charge transfer. We observe a fairly large zero-bias photocurrent with visible-light irradiation and switching of the current direction by the reversal of the polarization. Furthermore, we reveal that the travel distance of photocarriers exceeds 200 μm. These results unveil distinct features of the shift current and the potential application of ferroelectric organic molecular compounds for novel optoelectric devices.The bulk photovoltaics refers to an effect whereby electrons move directionally in non-centrosymmetric crystals upon light radiation. Here, Nakamura et al. observe this effect in a ferroelectric organic charge-transfer complex, which shows large diffusion distance of photogenerated electrons over 200 µm.

Abstract
Croconic acid crystals show proton displacive-type ferroelectricity with a large spontaneous polarization reaching 20 μC/cm^{2}, which originates from the strong coupling of proton and π-electron degrees of freedom. Such a coupling makes us expect a large polarization change by photoirradiations. Optical-pump second-harmonic-generation-probe experiments reveal that a photoexcited croconic-acid crystal loses the ferroelectricity substantially with a maximum quantum efficiency of more than 30 molecules per one absorbed photon. Based on density functional calculations, we theoretically discuss possible pathways toward the formation of a one-dimensional domain with polarization inversion and its recovery process to the ground state by referring to the dynamics of experimentally obtained polarization changes.

Abstract
The fabrication of single-crystalline thin-film arrays for an organic ferroelectric small molecule is achieved by a simple solution process without additional thermal annealing. Based on a cooperative proton tautomerism through a hydrogen-bonding network, films show the polarity switching with an operating voltage of less than 5 V at room temperature. This approach provides a low-cost and eco-friendly fabrication of ferroelectric devices.

Abstract
Quantum phase transition achieved by fine tuning the continuous phase transition down to zero kelvin is a challenge for solid state science. Critical phenomena distinct from the effects of thermal fluctuations can materialize when the electronic, structural or magnetic long-range order is perturbed by quantum fluctuations between degenerate ground states. Here we have developed chemically pure tetrahalo-p-benzoquinones of n iodine and 4–n bromine substituents (QBr4–nIn, n=0–4) to search for ferroelectric charge-transfer complexes with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). Among them, TTF–QBr2I2 exhibits a ferroelectric neutral–ionic phase transition, which is continuously controlled over a wide temperature range from near-zero kelvin to room temperature under hydrostatic pressure. Quantum critical behaviour is accompanied by a much larger permittivity than those of other neutral–ionic transition compounds, such as well-known ferroelectric complex of TTF–QCl4 and quantum antiferroelectric of dimethyl–TTF–QBr4. By contrast, TTF–QBr3I complex, another member of this compound family, shows complete suppression of the ferroelectric spin-Peierls-type phase transition. Quantum critical behaviour emerges when quantum fluctuations perturb the balance between electronic states of a material having the same energy, and can lead to novel phenomena. Here, the authors discover quantum criticality in the ferroelectric behaviour of organic molecular solids.

Abstract
Three polymorphic forms of 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridinium chloranilate crystals were characterized to understand the origin of polarization properties and the thermal stability of ferroelectricity. According to the temperature-dependent permittivity, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction, structural phase transitions were found in all polymorphs. Notably, the ferroelectric α-form crystal, which has the longest hydrogen bond (2.95 Å) among the organic acid/base-type supramolecular ferroelectrics, transformed from a polar structure (space group, P21) into an anti-polar structure (space group, P21/c) at 378 K. The non-ferroelectric β- and γ-form crystals also exhibited structural rearrangements around hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen-bonded geometry and ferroelectric properties were compared with other supramolecular ferroelectrics. A positive relationship between the phase-transition temperature (TC ) and hydrogen-bond length (<d>) was observed, and was attributed to the potential barrier height for proton off-centering or order/disorder phenomena. The optimized spontaneous polarization (Ps ) agreed well with the results of the first-principles calculations, and could be amplified by separating the two equilibrium positions of protons with increasing <d>. These data consistently demonstrated that stretching <d> is a promising way to enhance the polarization performance and thermal stability of hydrogen-bonded organic ferroelectrics.

Abstract
Supramolecular ferroelectric cocrystal of phenazine (Phz) with chloranilic acid (H2ca), which exhibits three successive phase transitions, have been characterized by the interplay between their structural transformations and solid-state acid–base (proton transfer) reactions (Figure) [1]. This material undergoes a ferroelectric phase (FE-I phase) transition of displacive-type at 253 K followed by successive phase transitions to the lattice modulated phases with incommensurate periodicities and with commensurate 2-fold periodicity (FE-II phase) at lower temperature [2]. To elucidate the origin of the ferroelectricity in the FE-I phase, it is crucial to study the crystal structure using single crystals. The synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiment was carried out on the imaging-plate diffractometer at BL-8A of Photon Factory in KEK. Superstructure reflections with the modulation wave vector q=(1/2 1/2 1/2) were clearly observed below 103 K. Considering the preserved 2/m Laue symmetry, the lattice can be transformed to a C-centered monoclinic lattice, which is related by (-2a, -2b, a + c) or (2a, -2b, -a - c) with the FE-I structure. Although the lattice distortion and the intensities of the superlattice reflections are consistent with the 2/m Laue symmetry, the space group C1 is deduced from the polar nature and a subgroup symmetry of the FE-I structure. Moreover, we performed single-crystal neutron diffraction experiments at SENJU of MLF/J-PARC in order to determine the displacement of the hydrogen atom. The crystal structure analysis at 10 K was carried out using the reflections measured in a half-sphere of reciprocal space at d > 0.4. The structure analysis was performed on the basis of the space group C1, where four Phz and four H2ca become crystallographically inequivalent. Finally, all the structural parameters including all hydrogen atoms were successfully refined. In the FE-II phase, the neutral and ionic molecules alternately align along the π-molecular stack.

Abstract
PAX9 is a transcription factor expressed in the tooth mesenchyme during tooth morphogenesis. In Pax9-null mice, tooth development is arrested at the bud stage. In humans, heterozygous mutations in PAX9 have been associated with non-syndromic tooth agenesis, predominantly in the molars. Here, we report 2 novel mutations in the paired domain of PAX9, a three-nucleotide deletion (73-75 delATC) and a missense mutation (C146T), in two unrelated Japanese patients with non-syndromic tooth agenesis. The individual with the 73-75del ATC mutation was missing all maxillary molars and mandibular second and third molars. The individual with the C146T mutation was missing the mandibular central incisors, maxillary second premolars, and first molars, along with all second and third molars. Both mutations affected amino acids that are highly conserved among different species and are critical for DNA binding. When both mutants were transfected to COS7 cells, nuclear localization of PAX9 proteins was not affected. However, reduced expression of the mutant proteins and almost no transcriptional activity of the target BMP4 gene were observed, suggesting haploinsufficiency of PAX9 as the cause of non-syndromic tooth agenesis.

Abstract
The switching of electric polarization induced by electric fields, a fundamental functionality of ferroelectrics, is closely associated with the motions of the domain walls that separate regions with distinct polarization directions. Therefore, understanding domain-walls dynamics is of essential importance for advancing ferroelectric applications. In this Letter, we show that the topology of the multidomain structure can have an intrinsic impact on the degree of switchable polarization. Using a combination of polarization hysteresis measurements and piezoresponse force microscopy on a uniaxial organic ferroelectric, α-6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridinium chloranilate, we found that the head-to-head (or tail-to-tail) charged domain walls are strongly pinned and thus impede the switching process; in contrast, if the charged domain walls are replaced with electrically neutral antiparallel domain walls, bulk polarization switching is achieved. Our findings suggest that manipulation of the multidomain topology can potentially control the switchable polarization.

Abstract
The relationship between type 1 pili-associated adhesion and invasion to HeLa cells by Salmonella braenderup and S. typhimurium was studied. When the clinical isolates of these strains were grown in L-broth, they showed both type 1 pili formation and mannose-sensitive adhesion to HeLa cells. On the other hand, the type 1 pili-defective mutants, which were obtained either by repeated subcultures on L-agar plates or by the transposon Tn1-insertion mutagenesis of the S. braenderup and S. typhimurium strains, concomitantly lost mannose-sensitive adhesion to HeLa cells. When the HeLa cells were incubated with Salmonella, the type 1 piliated strains invaded the HeLa cells with much higher infection rate than did the type 1 pili-defective strains. The invasion of type 1 piliated strains to HeLa cells was markedly inhibited in the presence of D-mannose. The infectivity of the strain, which lost type 1 pili but still had mannose-resistant adhesion, was slightly higher than that of the strains defective in both mannose-sensitive and mannose-resistant adhesion. These results suggested that type 1 pili have a role in enhancing the invasion of S. braenderup and S. typhimurium to HeLa cells.

Abstract
We report a new photoinduced transition from a nonordered phase to a transient ordered phase with symmetry breaking in an organic charge-transfer compound, dimethyltetrathiafulvalene (DMTTF)-dibromodichloro-p-benzoquinone (2,6QBr(2)Cl(2)), which is a neutral compound located near the neutral-ionic phase boundary and shows quantum paraelectricity at low temperatures. By an irradiation of a femtosecond laser pulse, an ionic domain consisting of ~40 molecules is introduced into the neutral lattice per photon, giving rise to coherent molecular oscillations with fractional charge modulations over ~400 molecules. This response is due to the recovery of ferroelectric nature from the quantum paraelectricity by a photoinjection of an ionic domain with a large dipole moment.

Abstract
The imidazole unit is chemically stable and ubiquitous in biological systems; its proton donor and acceptor moieties easily bind molecules into a dipolar chain. Here we demonstrate that chains of these amphoteric molecules can often be bistable in electric polarity and electrically switchable, even in the crystalline state, through proton tautomerization. Polarization–electric field (P–E) hysteresis experiments reveal a high electric polarization ranging from 5 to 10 μC cm−2 at room temperature. Of these molecules, 2-methylbenzimidazole allows ferroelectric switching in two dimensions due to its pseudo-tetragonal crystal symmetry. The ferroelectricity is also thermally robust up to 400 K, as is that of 5,6-dichloro-2-methylbenzimidazole (up to ~373 K). In contrast, three other benzimidazoles exhibit double P–E hysteresis curves characteristic of antiferroelectricity. The diversity of imidazole substituents is likely to stimulate a systematic exploration of various structure–property relationships and domain engineering in the quest for lead- and rare-metal-free ferroelectric devices. There are only a few known organic ferroelectrics, particularly ones that operate at high temperatures. Here the discovery of ferroelectricity above room temperature in members of an ubiquitous family of organic molecules reveals the possibility of novel low-cost electronic applications.

Abstract
Modification of proteins by long-term incubation with glucose leads, through the formation of early products such as Schiff base and Amadori rearrangement products, to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGE). AGE-modified proteins are characterized physicochemically by fluorescence, brown coloration, and intramolecular or intermolecular cross-linking. Biologically, they are specifically recognized by the AGE receptors of the cell surface membrane. Recent studies have provided evidence for the involvement of AGE proteins in atherosclerosis. First, in vitro experiments using Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing the macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR) and peritoneal macrophages from MSR-knockout mice demonstrated that MSR plays a major role as the AGE receptor in the endocytotic uptake of AGE by macrophages. Second, immunohistochemical studies using anti-AGE antibody and anti-MSR antibody revealed the presence of AGE proteins in human atherosclerotic lesions in arterial walls. Because MSR is closely associated with the formation of early atherosclerotic lesions, these results suggest a potential role played by AGE proteins or their interaction with MSR in the atherosclerotic process.

Abstract
Ferroelectric polarization of 6.3 μC cm(-2) is induced by the neutral-to-ionic transition, upon which nonpolar molecules of electron donor tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and acceptor p-chloranil (CA) are incompletely ionized to ±0.60e and dimerized along the molecular stacking chain. We find that the ferroelectric properties are governed by intermolecular charge transfer rather than simple displacement of static point charge on molecules. The observed polarization and poling effect on the absolute structural configuration can be interpreted in terms of electronic ferroelectricity, which not only exhibits antiparallel polarity to the ionic displacement but also enhances the polarization more than 20 times that of the point-charge model.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThe crystalline perfection of epitaxial PtSi thin films and the microstructure of the PtSi/Si interface have been examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), including lattice image techniques. Epitaxial PtSi layers grow with domains which have three different positions on a (111) Si substrate. Inside a domain the crystalline perfection is high, and at the domain boundary no intermediate region has been observed. The undulation of the PtSi/Si interface is larger than that of other epitaxial silicide/Si interfaces. Despite the large undulation, a cross-sectional lattice image shows the epitaxial layer extends to the interface. The interface is abrupt in the epitaxial PtSi/Si system.

Abstract
The role of solitons in transport, dielectric, and magnetic properties has been revealed for the quasi-one-dimensional organic charge-transfer salt, TTF-QBrCl3 [tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-2-bromo-3,5,6-trichloro-p-benzoquinone (QBrCl3)]. The material was found to be ferroelectric and hence the solitons should be located at the boundary of the segments with opposite electric polarization. This feature enabled the electric-field control of soliton density and hence the clear-cut detection of soliton contributions. The gigantic dielectric response in the ferroelectric phase is ascribed to the dynamical bound and creeping motions of spinless solitons.

Abstract
Parafunctional habits, such as bruxism and prolonged clenching, have been associated with functional overloading in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which may result in internal derangement and osteoarthrosis of the TMJ. In this study, the distributions of stress on the mandibular condylar surface during prolonged clenching were examined with TMJ mathematical models. Finite element models were developed on the basis of magnetic resonance images from two subjects with or without anterior disc displacement of the TMJ. Masticatory muscle forces were used as a loading condition for stress analysis during a 10 min clenching. In the asymptomatic model, the stress values in the anterior area (0.100 MPa) and lateral area (0.074 MPa) were relatively high among the five areas at 10 min. In the middle and posterior areas, stress relaxation occurred during the first 2 min. In contrast, the stress value in the lateral area was markedly lower (0.020 MPa) than in other areas in the symptomatic model at 10 min. The largest stress (0.050 MPa) was located in the posterior area. All except the anterior area revealed an increase in stress during the first 2 min. The present result indicates that the displacement of the disc could affect the stress distribution on the condylar articular surface during prolonged clenching, especially in the posterior area, probably leading to the cartilage breakdown on the condylar articular surface.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney failure is a common complication in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP). It has been suggested that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important role in the development and pathogenesis of FAP. MATERIAL AND METHODS To evaluate the impact of AGEs on FAP patients' kidney dysfunction, we measured AGE in serum and urine of 28 FAP patients and 18 healthy controls by AGE-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistochemistry utilizing antibodies to AGE and the receptor for AGE (RAGE) were used on kidney tissue from 3 FAP patients and 3 diabetic patients to disclose a correlation between amyloid deposits and AGE-RAGE. RESULTS The glomeruli of FAP patients were heavily deposited with amyloid and the glomerular size was enlarged. The space between Bowman's capsule and glomerulus was totally covered by the enlarged glomerulus. AGE and RAGE were deposited in glomeruli and tubuli and correlated with amyloid deposits. Decreased AGE levels in the liver-transplanted FAP patients' serum compared with that of non-transplanted patients were noted, and AGE concentration in serum tended to be higher in non-transplanted FAP patients compared with normal control subjects. There were no differences in the AGE urine levels in FAP patients compared with controls. No correlation could be found between AGE in urine and serum compared with serum albumin, serum creatinine and creatinine clearance. CONCLUSIONS The accumulation of AGE, RAGE and amyloid in the kidney of FAP patients suggests that these molecules play an important role in the origin and pathogenesis of renal failure in FAP patients.
