Genome Analysis of Japanese Yersinia pseudotuberculosis Strains Isolated From Kawasaki Disease Patients and Other Sources and Their Phylogenetic Positions in the Global Y. pseudotuberculosis Population.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Ypt) is a gram-negative bacterium that infects both humans and animals primarily through fecal‒oral transmission. While Ypt causes acute gastroenteritis in humans, an association with Kawasaki disease (KD), a disease that primarily affects infants and young children and causes multisystemic vasculitis, has also been suspected. Although KD represents a significant health concern worldwide, the highest annual incidence rate is reported in Japan.

Diammonium Hydrogen Citrate-Assisted Spray Pyrolysis Synthesis of Nanostructured LiCoPO Microspheres as High-Voltage Cathode Material for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Nanostructured LiCoPO (LCP) microspheres were successfully synthesized by one-step spray pyrolysis, adding an appropriate amount of diammonium hydrogen citrate (DHC) additive to the precursor solution. Comprehensive physical characterization confirmed that the obtained LCPs exhibited a desirable orthorhombic olivine structure with nanostructured morphology and a significant increase in specific surface area. This enhancement was attributed to the dispersion effect due to the carboxyl group and the evolution of the ammonium group of DHC during the pyrolysis process.
