Precision Spectroscopy of the Pionic Helium-4.

The transition frequency of (n,ℓ)=(17,16)→(16,15) in pionic helium-4 is calculated to an accuracy of 4 ppb (parts per billion), including relativistic and quantum electrodynamic corrections up to O(R_{∞}α^{5}). Our calculations significantly improve the recent theoretical values [Hori et al., Phys.

Precision Calculation of Hyperfine Structure and the Zemach Radii of ^{6,7}Li^{+} Ions.

The hyperfine structures of the 2^{3}S_{1} states of the ^{6}Li^{+} and ^{7}Li^{+} ions are investigated theoretically to extract the Zemach radii of the ^{6}Li and ^{7}Li nuclei by comparing with precision measurements. The obtained Zemach radii are larger than the previous values of Puchalski and Pachucki [Phys. Rev.

Oscillator strengths between low-lying ro-vibrational states of hydrogen molecular ions.

It is important for experimental design to know the transition oscillator strengths in hydrogen molecular ions. In this work, for HD(+), HT(+), and DT(+), we calculate the ro-vibrational energies and oscillator strengths of dipole transitions between two ro-vibrational states with the vibrational quantum number ν = 0-5 and the total angular momentum L = 0-5. The oscillator strengths of HT(+) and DT(+) are presented as supplementary material.

[Establishment and characterization of serial subpopulations with highly metastatic potential via different metastatic routes].

Objective: To establish the serial cell lines, derived from the same parental gallbladder cancer cell line GBC-SD, with highly metastatic potential via different routes and characterize their biological behaviors to understand the different metastasis mechanisms via lymph and blood.

Methods: The spleen-liver metastasis model and footpad-inguinal lymph node metastasis model were established. GBC-SD was injected into spleen or footpad of nude mice.
