How Cancer Cells Invade Bladder Epithelium and Form Tumors: The Mouse Bladder Tumor Model as a Model of Tumor Recurrence in Patients

Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is the most common form of bladder cancer. The main problem in managing bladder tumors is the high recurrence after the transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT). Our study aimed to examine the fate of intravesically applied cancer cells as the implantation of cancer cells after TURBT is thought to be a cause of tumor recurrence. We established an orthotopic mouse bladder tumor model with MB49-GFP cancer cells and traced them during the first three days to define their location and contacts with normal urothelial cells. Data were obtained by Western blot, immunolabeling, and light and electron microscopy. We showed that within the first two hours, applied cancer cells adhered to the traumatized epithelium by cell projections containing α3β1 integrin on their tips. Cancer cells then migrated through the epithelium and on day 3, they reached the basal lamina or even penetrated it. In established bladder tumors, E-cadherin and desmoplakin 1/2 were shown as feasible immunohistochemical markers of tumor margins based on the immunolabeling of various junctional proteins. Altogether, these results for the first time illustrate cancer cell implantation in vivo mimicking cellular events of tumor recurrence in bladder cancer patients.     

Stability of protective oxide films in waste incineration environment—solubility measurement of oxides in molten chlorides

Solubility measurements of several oxides in molten NaCl-KCl and NaCl-KCl-Na₂SO₄-K₂SO₄ were conducted in three different levels of basicity. The dissolution behavior of the oxides showed almost the same tendency as that shown by the dissolution behavior of the oxides in molten Na₂SO₄ in literature. In a waste incineration environment, a protective Cr₂O₃ film easily dissolves in molten chlorides as CrO₄²⁻ because pO²⁻ of the molten chlorides tends to have a small value due to the effect of water vapor contained in the combustion gas. From the result of the solubility measurement, the addition of molybdenum and/or silicon was expected to improve the corrosion resistance of alloys. Laboratory corrosion tests confirmed this expectation. However, the scale analysis suggested that the effect of molybdenum could not be explained completely by only the mechanism derived from the result of the solubility measurement.     

Effects of annealing at high pressure on structure and mechanical properties of Al87Ni7Gd6 metallic glass

The effects of annealing and annealing with a superimposed pressure of 940 MPa on the primary crystallization behaviour of α-Al and the resulting micro-hardness have been studied for as-quenched Al₈₇Ni₇Gd₆ metallic glass. Isothermal annealing experiments were conducted for 30 min at 188 °C, 191 °C, and 205 °C in silicone oil maintained either at atmospheric pressure (i.e. 0.1 MPa) or at 940 MPa. XRD analyses detected the evolution of structure with annealing at 0.1 MPa, while specimens annealed with 940 MPa pressure exhibited sharper diffraction peaks than those annealed at 0.1 MPa. DSC measurements were conducted on the as-received amorphous ribbons as well as ribbons annealed at different temperatures at either 0.1. MPa or with 940 MPa superimposed pressure. Specimens annealed with 940 MPa pressure exhibited higher onset temperatures (i.e. T_x1) and temperatures for the first exothermic peak (i.e. T_p1) for primary crystallization. TEM measurements revealed an increase in the volume fraction of α-Al with increases in annealing temperature, while micro-hardness measurements revealed an increase in hardness with increasing amounts of α-Al. Specimens annealed with 940 MPa pressure exhibited further increases in both the volume fraction of α-Al and resulting micro-hardness.

Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of advanced ceramics MoSi2–HfB2–MoB

This study focuses on the investigation of the macrokinetic features of SHS (combustion synthesis) of elemental mixtures Mo–Hf–Si–B, in particular the mechanisms of structure and phase formation in the combustion front as well as the structure and properties of consolidated ceramics. Two routes for the fabrication of the composite SHS powder in system MoSi₂–HfB₂–MoB were used: (1) synthesis using Mo–Si–B and Hf–B mixtures followed by mixing of the combustion products and (2) synthesis using the four-component Mo–Hf–Si–B mixture. Dense ceramic samples with a homogeneous structure and low residual porosity (0.8–3.6%) were prepared by hot pressing of SHS powders. Although the particles size distribution and phase composition of SHS powders are similar for both synthesis routes, the structure and properties of both the composite SHS powders and hot-pressed ceramics differ considerably. Synthesis using the four-component Mo–Hf–Si–B mixture allows one to produce hierarchically ordered nanocomposite material with improved mechanical properties: hardness up to 17.6?GPa and fracture toughness up to 7.16?MPa?m^1/2.

The role of the WO x ad-component to Pt and PtRu catalysts in the electrochemical CH3OH oxidation reaction

High surface area carbon-supported platinum-based catalysts, Pt/C, PtWO _x /C, PtRu/C and PtRuWO _x /C, were prepared via a chemical reduction route using single metal precursor salts. The catalyst particles were found to be in the nanoscale range, and the addition of Ru clearly decreased the particle size. The Ru was found to be partially incorporated into the face centered cubic lattice of Pt and to form a single Ru catalyst component. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photon spectroscopy did not provide evidence for electronic interactions between WO _x and Pt as well as WO _x and Ru. However, the addition of tungsten to the PtRuWO _x /C catalyst resulted in a high degree of catalyst particle agglomeration. Both Ru containing catalysts showed significantly higher activities for the CH₃OH oxidation reaction in terms of Pt + Ru mass as well as electroactive Pt + Ru surface area than the Pt/C and PtWO _x /C catalysts. The addition of tungsten appeared to mainly result in some ‘physical’ modification of the catalytically active Pt and Ru surface components such as differences in electroactive surface area rather than promotion of the CH₃OH oxidation reaction via a true catalytic mechanism.
