Abstract
In surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), 2D materials are explored as substrates owing to their chemical stability and reproducibility. However, they exhibit lower enhancement factors (EFs) compared to noble metal-based SERS substrates. This study demonstrates the application of ultrathin covellite copper sulfide (CuS) as a cost-effective SERS substrate with a high EF value of 7.2 × 104 . The CuS substrate is readily synthesized by sulfurizing a Cu thin film at room temperature, exhibiting a Raman signal enhancement comparable to that of an Au noble metal substrate of similar thickness. Furthermore, computational simulations using the density functional theory are employed and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements are performed to investigate the enhancement mechanisms. The results indicate that polar covalent bonds (Cu─S) and strong interlayer interactions in the ultrathin CuS substrate increase the probability of charge transfer between the analyte molecules and the CuS surface, thereby producing enhanced SERS signals. The CuS SERS substrate demonstrates the selective detection of various dye molecules, including rhodamine 6G, methylene blue, and safranine O. Furthermore, the simplicity of CuS synthesis facilitates large-scale production of SERS substrates with high spatial uniformity, exhibiting a signal variation of less than 5% on a 4-inch wafer.

Abstract
In the present study, we showed that hydrophilic graphene can serve as an ideal imaging plate for biological specimens. Graphene being a single-atom-thick semi-metal with low secondary electron emission, array tomography analysis of serial sections of biological specimens on a graphene substrate showed excellent image quality with improvedz-axis resolution, without including any conductive surface coatings. However, the hydrophobic nature of graphene makes the placement of biological specimens difficult; graphene functionalized with polydimethylsiloxane oligomer was fabricated using a simple soft lithography technique and then processed with oxygen plasma to provide hydrophilic graphene with minimal damage to graphene. High-quality scanning electron microscopy images of biological specimens free from charging effects or distortion were obtained, and the optical transparency of graphene enabled fluorescence imaging of the specimen; high-resolution correlated electron and light microscopy analysis of the specimen became possible with the hydrophilic graphene plate.

Abstract
In the present study, we used the electrochemical transparency of graphene to show that the direct intercalation of alkali-metal cations is not a prerequisite for the redox reaction of Prussian blue (PB). PB thin films passivated with monolayer graphene still underwent electrochemical redox reactions in the presence of alkali-metal ions (K+ or Na+) despite the inability of the cations to penetrate the graphene and be incorporated into the PB. Graphene passivation not only preserved the electrochemical activity of the PB but also substantially enhanced the stability of the PB. As a proof of concept, we showed that a transparent graphene electrode covering PB can be used as an excellent hydrogen peroxide transducer, thereby demonstrating the possibility of realizing an electrochemical sensor capable of long-term measurements.

Abstract
Semiconductor gas sensors are advantageous in miniaturization and can be used in a wide range of applications, yet consume large power due to high operating temperature. Here we demonstrated the ability of nanoscale scratches produced with mechanical abrasion to enhance the chemical sensitivity of thin-film-type semiconductor sensors. Well-aligned arrays of scratches parallel to the electrical current direction between the source and drain electrodes were made, using typical polishing machines with diamond suspensions, on semiconductor thin films produced with various deposition methods such as atomic layer deposition (ALD), sputtering, and the sol-gel technique. Processing with sharp diamond microparticles left nano-grooves on the surface, together with changes in chemical composition. For all of the tested metal oxide thin films, the introduction of scratches yielded increased quantities of oxygen vacancies and metallic components. Scratched ZnO devices exhibited superior performance even at room temperature, as predicted by a computational simulation that showed increased binding energy of gas molecules on defects. The scratch technique shown in the present study may be used to produce dense arrays of nanometer-scale, chemically functionalized line patterns on substrates larger than a few tens of centimeters with minimum cost, which in turn may be used in a variety of applications including massive arrays of sensors displaying high sensitivity.

Abstract
Recently, three-dimensional (3D) printing has garnered tremendous amounts of attention in various applications. In this study, we suggest a facile means of creating 3D-printed foldable electrodes on paper via the direct printing of composite pastes consisting of conductive fillers and a thermoplastic elastomer. The 3D-printability of the prepared composite pastes is investigated depending on the rheological properties. It is revealed that the composite paste with a high storage modulus would enable the formation of highly conductive features with a resistance of 0.4 Ω cm-1 on three-dimensional paper structures. The mechanical bending/folding stability levels of the printed electrodes are evaluated to judge the possibility of realizing 3D-printed origami electronics. The resistance is changed slightly with a normalized resistance value of 2.3, when the printed electrodes are folded with a folding angle of 150°. It is demonstrated that the 3D-printed composite electrodes are applicable to various origami electronics, including electrical circuits, strain sensors and electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
The temperature (T) dependence of the optical conductivity spectra σ(ω) of a single crystal SrRuO(3) thin film is studied over a T range from 5 to 450 K. We observed significant T dependence of the spectral weights of the charge transfer and interband d-d transitions across the ferromagnetic Curie temperature (T(c) ∼ 150 K). Such T dependence was attributed to the increase in the Ru spin moment, which is consistent with the results of density functional theory calculations. T scans of σ(Ω,T) at fixed frequencies Ω reveal a clear T(2) dependence below T(c), demonstrating that the Stoner mechanism is involved in the evolution of the electronic structure. In addition, σ(Ω,T) continues to evolve at temperatures above T(c), indicating that the local spin moment persists in the paramagnetic state. This suggests that SrRuO(3) is an intriguing oxide system with itinerant ferromagnetism.

Abstract
Oyster mushroom spherical virus (OMSV) and oyster mushroom isometric virus (OMIV) are the causative agents of a fruiting body deformation disease in the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. The curing of these mycoviruses was facilitated by a serial transfer of infected mycelia onto a limited nutrient medium containing 1mM of cAMP and 75 μg/ml of rifamycin (cAMP-rifamycin plate). The mycelia were grown on cAMP-rifamycin plates for 5 successive passages. ELISA and RT-PCR showed that the amount of mycoviruses inside the mycelia decreased significantly with increasing numbers of passages. The mycelia became free of viruses after 5 successive passages. Cultivation of the virus-cured mycelia on a mushroom compost medium produced a normal harvest, whereas the spawn infected with viruses failed to produce any fruiting bodies.

Abstract
The objective was to examine the relationship of trained panel sensory scores of cooked pork with fatty acid composition, muscle fiber type, and meat quality characteristics from Berkshire pigs. No or few associations were found between the panel sensory scores of cooked meat, especially tenderness attributes, and fatty acid composition; however, intramuscular fat content positively correlated with off-flavor score (r=0.31). On the other hand, the morphological characteristics of muscle fibers were correlated with panel sensory values. Muscles with smaller cross-sectional area and higher density of fibers were more closely associated with softer, more tender panel scores and a lower number of chews than muscles with larger fiber area and lower density of fibers. The water holding capacity test of filter-paper fluid uptake was moderately correlated with panel scores of softness (r=0.33), initial tenderness (r=0.38), chewiness (r=0.40), juiciness (r=-0.27), flavor intensity (r=-0.23), and off-flavor (r=0.30). Panel sensory values of Berkshire pig meat was moderately related to postmortem meat quality, especially water holding capacity. A more thorough understanding of the relationships between fatty acid composition and muscle fiber type with palatability is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES No prospective study on the long-term effects of gastric resection on gastrointestinal hormonal changes in patients with normal body weight has been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the 1-year effect of subtotal gastrectomy on ghrelin and peptide YY (PYY)(3-36) levels. SUBJECTS/METHODS Eighteen patients with early gastric cancer underwent subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth I reconstruction. We assessed appetite, food intake, body composition, and ghrelin and PYY(3-36) levels preoperatively and 1 year after surgery. RESULTS There were no significant difference in the preoperative daily food intake and 1 year after subtotal gastrectomy. Weight loss occurred in all study subjects; 11.7% (n=2), 55.5% (n=10) and 33.3% (n=6) of the patients lost <5%, 5-10% and >10% of their preoperative body weight, respectively. Body mass index, waist circumference and body fat significantly decreased 1 year after subtotal gastrectomy. There were no significant differences in the appetite visual analogue scale preoperatively and 1 year after subtotal gastrectomy. The plasma ghrelin concentration decreased significantly (P=0.006), whereas PYY(3-36) did not show a significant change 1 year after subtotal gastrectomy. CONCLUSIONS Ghrelin levels and body fat decreased significantly, whereas PYY(3-36) levels as well as appetite and food intake did not change significantly 1 year after subtotal gastrectomy with normal body weight. These findings suggest that decreased ghrelin might contribute directly to reduced body fat.

With regard to histochemical characteristics, muscle fiber area was related to both fresh- (r=0.18, P<0.05) and cooked-meat color (r=-0.24, P<0.01) as well as abnormal flavor intensity (r=0.25, P<0.01), and muscle fiber composition was associated with fresh pork color and taste acceptability after cooking. There were no significant relationships (P>0.05) between type IIa muscle fiber content and the evaluated sensory attributes; however, good meat sensory quality was partially explained by the percentage of type I fiber.

Abstract
The intracellular level of the NAD+/NADH ratio plays a vital role in sustaining and coordinating the catabolic reaction of the cell, and reflects the redox state of cytosol. Antioxidants play a role to protect cytosol and membrane from free radicals. This role of antioxidants involves sustaining cell viability and the procedure is thought to be regulated by the equilibrium of the redox state of the cell. However, there is very little known about how the NAD+/NADH level is set and changed. To alter the ratio, human NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (cGPDH) cDNA was transfected stably in CHO dhfr- cells. When compared to parental CHO cells, cGPDH activities of the transfected cells were increased 8-12 fold, but the NAD+/NADH ratio was decreased. Specific growth rate of the transfected cells was similar to or slight lower than that of wild type CHO cells. Cell viability of the stable transformants against H2O2 was increased without change of either catalase or glutathione peroxidase activity. However, the increase of cell viability was correlated with the decrease of NAD+/NADH ratio in transfectants. From these results, it is suggested that the overexpression of cGPDH changes the NAD+/NADH ratio toward a decrease, and by this change in the redox state the cell confers more resistance against H2O2.

Abstract
Multicopy single-stranded DNA (msDNA) is produced by reverse transcriptase (RT) and is mutagenic in E. coli. In order to study the interaction between msDNA and RT, an RT open reading frame of retron EC83 was fused with maltose binding protein. The fusion protein, MBP-RT, was active in msDNA synthesis. The msDNA was copurified with MBP-RT by amylose affinity column. When purified msDNA was mixed with MBP-RT, the msDNA formed a complex with the fusion protein. These results show that msDNA is present as a complex with RT in vivo and it is able to form such a complex in vitro. We suggest that RT may compete with MutS protein for binding to msDNA and thereby controls mutagenesis by msDNA.
