Polyimides Containing Benzoxazole Units and Their Liquid-Crystalline Behavior
Masatoshi Hasegawa,Takako Inoue,Ryo Miyauchi,Junichi Ishii 한국고분자학회 2018 Macromolecular Research Vol.26 No.10
Herein, we report the liquid-crystalline behavior of polyimides (PIs) containing benzoxazole (BO) units and their model compounds, and provide fundamental information in relation to their potential as heat-releasing materials. A series of BO-containing tetracarboxylic dianhydrides were synthesized using two bis(oaminophenol) s as starting materials, namely, 3,3′-dihydroxy-4,4′-diaminobiphenyl (p-HAB) and 4,6-diaminoresorcinol (DAR). When a p-HAB-type BO-containing tetracarboxylic dianhydride with ester linkages was combined with a siloxanediamine (amine equivalent: 430 g/mol), the resulting PI barely exhibited optical anisotropy with an unclear and undeveloped texture with the assistance of continuous shear stimulus. On the other hand, the combination of DAR-type BO-containing tetracarboxylic dianhydride with ester linkages and the siloxanediamine led to the formation of an optically anisotropic texture with particle-like domains in the heating process over a wide temperature range, although continuous shear stimulus in the molten state was still required for this system. The thermal diffusivity of BOcontaining PI films quenched from their liquid-crystalline states is also reported.

Background: Muscle–liver crosstalk plays an important role in the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The measurement of muscle echo-intensity during ultrasonography is a real-time, non-invasive method of assessing muscle quality. In this retrospective study, we investigated the significance of poor muscle quality (namely, a greater mass of non-contractile tissue, including intramuscular fat) as a risk factor for advanced liver fibrosis and considered whether it may represent a useful tool for the diagnosis of advanced liver fibrosis. Methods: We analyzed data from 307 patients with NAFLD (143 men and 164 women) who visited the University of Tsukuba Hospital between 2017 and 2022. The patients were stratified into the following tertiles of muscle quality according to their muscle echo-intensity on ultrasonography: modest (84.1 arbitrary units [A.U.]), intermediate (97.4 A.U.), and poor (113.6 A.U.). We then investigated the relationships between muscle quality and risk factors for advanced liver fibrosis and calculated appropriate cutoff values. Results: Patients with poor muscle quality showed a significant, 7.6-fold greater risk of liver fibrosis compared to those with modest muscle quality. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that muscle quality assessment was as accurate as the fibrosis-4 index and NAFLD fibrosis score in screening for liver fibrosis and superior to the assessment of muscle quantity and strength, respectively. Importantly, a muscle echo-intensity of ≥92.4 A.U. may represent a useful marker of advanced liver fibrosis. Conclusion: Muscle quality may represent a useful means of identifying advanced liver fibrosis, and its assessment may become a useful screening tool in daily practice.

An inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. IFPs in the small intestine are the mostfrequently detected with symptoms, such as abdominal pain and tarry stool due to intussusception. Accordingly, few studies havereported jejunal IFP as a cause of occult gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) diagnosed via both of capsule endoscopy (CE) and doubleballoonenteroscopy (DBE). A 68-year-old woman presented with a progression of anemia and a positive fecal occult blood test result. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and total colonoscopy findings were unremarkable. CE revealed a tumor with bleeding in the jejunum. DBE also revealed a jejunal polypoid tumor. Bleeding from the tumor seemed to have caused anemia. The patient underwent partiallaparoscopic resection of the jejunum, including resection of the tumor. The tumor was histopathologically diagnosed as IFP. To ourknowledge, this is the first reported case of laparoscopic resection of jejunal IFP with OGIB diagnosed via CE and DBE preoperatively.
