A Case of Leptospirosis-Associated Severe Pulmonary Hemorrhagic Syndrome Successfully Treated with Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation by Nao Umei, Shingo Ichiba

“…On day 5 after onset of symptoms, he required intubation and mechanical ventilation. Bronchoscopy showed diffuse endobronchial bleeding. His respiratory status worsened rapidly with a partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio of 70, necessitating venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) and treatment with an inotrope, renal replacement therapy, and broad-spectrum antibiotics including benzylpenicillin. …”

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma at Invasion Front by Tomoo Kudo, Yoshihito Shimazu, Hisao Yagishita, Toshiyuki Izumo, Yuuichi Soeno, Kaori Sato, Yuji Taya, Takaaki Aoba

“…Based on the 3D tumor architecture, we classified the mode of invasion into four types: pushing and bulky architecture; trabecular architecture; diffuse spreading; and special forms. Direct visualization and quantitative assessment of the parenchymal-stromal border provide a new dimension in our understanding of OTSCC architecture. …”

Ligand-tuning copper in coordination polymers for efficient electrochemical C–C coupling by Yu Yang, Cheng Zhang, Chengyi Zhang, Yaohui Shi, Jun Li, Bernt Johannessen, Yongxiang Liang, Shuzhen Zhang, Qiang Song, Haowei Zhang, Jialei Huang, Jingwen Ke, Lei Zhang, Qingqing Song, Jianrong Zeng, Ying Zhang, Zhigang Geng, Pu-Sheng Wang, Ziyun Wang, Jie Zeng, Fengwang Li

“…Electronic structure modelling, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy show a widely tuneable Cu electronics by modulating the highest occupied molecular orbital energy of ligands. Using CO diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, in-situ Raman spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations, we find that the binding strength of *CO intermediate is positively correlated to highest occupied molecular orbital energies of the ligands. …”
