Article Synopsis
- This study focused on modifying fullerene nanoparticles to make them water-dispersible through a reaction with di-amino alkane.
- The modification not only enhances water dispersibility but also allows for further changes to the particles' surface.
- The resulting particles possess useful features like fluorescence for detection and a distinctive shape, making them applicable in areas like bioimaging and drug delivery.
Seven body polishers working in the same "hot spa" presented with multiple red nodules and papules on their hands and forearms. A causative agent was successfully isolated from two of the subjects and from a swab sample collected from the underside of a bed cover in the body-polishing facility. The two cutaneous isolates and the environmental isolate were rapidly growing mycobacteria that formed nonphotochromogenic smooth or smooth/rough colonies on Ogawa egg slants.
