Complementary enantiorecognition patterns and specific method optimization aspects on immobilized polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases.

The immobilized polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs) combine the benefits of broad application scope and high preparative potential with CSP robustness and universal solvent compatibility. Strategies for efficient and straightforward method development with these CSPs were previously overviewed. In the current study, six CSPs with different structural features in the immobilized series were examined for their complementary properties in separation of enantiomers.

Relationship of low lean body mass with body weight increase until one year of age and current lifestyles in Japanese young women.

To investigate factors affecting the low lean body mass (LBM) of young women, we focused on the increase in body weight until one year of age and current lifestyles. In 442 young women, the increase in body weight from birth until one year of age, breast-feeding method in infancy, current physique index and body composition, and physique and lifestyles were investigated using a questionnaire. Subjects with an LBM percentile of less than 33.
