Rapidly Progressing Anaplastic Carcinoma of the Pancreas with Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: An Autopsy Case Report.

A 75-year-old man visited our hospital for the examination of a tumor in the pancreas. Computed tomography showed an 85×85-mm low-density tumor in the pancreas. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed as poorly differentiated carcinoma by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration.

Hepatic Inflammatory Pseudotumor Protruding from the Liver Surface and Directly Penetrating the Colon.

A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with a liver abscess and received antibiotics at a local hospital. He was referred to our hospital due to a persistent fever. He had hepatic masses protruding from the liver surface toward the transverse colon.

Fabrication of flexible transparent conductive films from long double-walled carbon nanotubes.

The fabrication of flexible transparent conducting films (TCFs) is important for the development of the next-generation flexible devices. In this study, we used double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) as the starting material and described a fabrication method of flexible TCFs. We have determined in a quantitative way that the key factors are the length and the dispersion states of the DWCNTs as well as the weight-ratios of dispersant polymer/DWCNTs.

Morphology and melting behavior of ionic liquids inside single-walled carbon nanotubes.

We report the synthesis and characterization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) filled with a zinc-containing quaternary ammonium based ionic liquid (ChZnCl(3)) inside. The threshold SWNT diameter for efficient encapsulation was determined to be ca. 0.

Fabrication of metal nanowires in carbon nanotubes via versatile nano-template reaction.

A nano-template reaction has been developed to fabricate metal nanowires using metallofullerene nanopeapods (i.e., carbon nanotubes (CNTs) encapsulating endohedral metallofullerenes) as starting materials.
