Article Synopsis
  • 2D ultrathin metal nanostructures, specifically nanosheets of face-centered cubic (fcc) metals like platinum, have unique properties and advantages for catalysis due to their high surface-to-volume ratios and low-coordinated sites.
  • The selective synthesis of platinum nanosheets is achieved through a seeded-growth method, focusing on preserving defects in the precursor seeds to promote effective 2D growth.
  • Testing the catalytic performance of these platinum nanosheets in phenylacetylene hydrogenation reveals that they outperform traditional commercial Pt/C catalysts in terms of stability and selectivity to styrene.

Background: Palatal rugae are nonidentical mucosal elevations seen on anterior third of palate. They are arranged in transverse direction on either side of the mid-palatine raphe. Although they are the most stable anatomical structures in the oral cavity, certain conditions such as expansion in orthodontic treatment contribute to some amount of variations in their pattern qualitatively.

A comparative, randomized trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of oral UFT (Tegafur and Uracil) versus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in combination with cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Of 62 evaluable patients, 31 received UFT (350 mg/m2/day orally x 14 days), doxorubicin (50 mg/m2 intravenously [I.V.
