Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how the thermal annealing of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) thin films on silicon dioxide substrates affects their crystalline structure and charge transport properties, noting that short-time annealing improves molecular ordering while long-time annealing disrupts it.
- - Prolonged heat exposure leads to irreversible adsorption of P3HT chains at the polymer-solid interface, forming an amorphous layer that diminishes the film's overall crystallinity and disrupts ordering throughout the material.
- - The research shows that optimal electrical performance in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is achieved with carefully timed annealing, balancing molecular ordering and the negative effects of chain adsorption, thereby enhancing charge carrier
An 84-year-old man with a history of progressive interstitial pneumonia presented to our department with lung cancer (cT2aN0M0-IB) in right S6. Moreover, computed tomography revealed progressive diffuse pulmonary ossification in the bilateral lower pulmonary lobes. S6 segmentectomy was performed via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

This sub-population consists of 2-cell-gene labeled cells (2CLCs) generated by the transient activation of the 2-cell specific genes initiated by the master regulator, Dux. However, the mechanism regulating the transient expression remains largely unclear.

- The EXTRA study is the first research trial to explore predictive biomarkers for the effectiveness of afatinib in patients with specific mutations in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using various biological analyses.
- Conducted in Japan, the prospective study involved 103 untreated patients and measured metrics like progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) while administering afatinib at an initial daily dose of 40 mg.
- Results showed that after a median follow-up of 35 months, the median PFS was 18.4 months, with a 3-year PFS rate of 23.3%, and a 3-year OS rate of 58.5%, indicating a positive response to afatinib in
Objective: There is little evidence of the outcome of pulmonary metastasectomy for uterine tumors when comparing different histologies. This study aimed to delineate the primary histology that leads to more favorable outcomes after pulmonary metastasectomy.
Methods: The database of the Metastatic Lung Tumor Study Group of Japan for 1984 to 2016 was used to analyze the outcomes of patients with gynecologic malignancies who underwent pulmonary metastasectomy.
