Serial changes in diffusion tensor imaging metrics and therapeutic effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in post-traumatic headache and depression: A case report.

Background: Mild traumatic brain injury patients commonly complain headache and central pain, and the pain accompanies depressive mood change. This case study reports the therapeutic effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in mild traumatic brain injury patient with headache and depression through objective serial changes of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

Methods: The 51-year-old man complained of headache and depression despite conventional treatment for 13 months.

Therapeutic efficacy and safety of home-based portable laser irradiation on patients with wrist pain: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of small, portable low-level laser therapy (light sources in square configuration: 830 nm GaAs diode 3.2 mW at the center, 4 × 650 nm InGaAIP diodes over the corners) treatment in reducing and enhancing hand function in patients with wrist pain. This study was a prospective, randomized, sham-controlled, and home-based self-therapy trial.

Creation of polynucleotide-assisted molecular assemblies in organic solvents: general strategy toward the creation of artificial DNA-like nanoarchitectures.

The influence of added polynucleotide on the gelation ability of nucleobase-appended organogelators was investigated. Uracil-appended cholesterol gelator formed a stable organogel in polar organic solvents such as n-butanol. It was found that the addition of the complementary polyadenylic acid (poly(A)) not only stabilizes the gel but also creates the helical structure in the original gel phase.

Complementary hydrogen-bonding between thymidine-based low molecular-weight gelator and polynucleotide in organic media.

We have found that aggregation mode and gelation property of thymidine-based organogelator are affected by the addition of its complementary polynucleotide in organic media.

Thymidine-based gelators: design, synthesis, and evaluation.

Through the simple modification of nucleoside, a new class of organogelator was synthesized. Five kinds of thymidine-based organogelators gelated in various organic solvents. Their SEM microscopic images showed three different types.

Novel thymidine-based organogelators and their gelation behaviours.

We report on a synthesis of novel thymidine based organogelators and a study of their gelation types in relation to structure and solvent, using various data acquired through FT-IR, SEM images and differential scanning calorimetry.
