Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system produces an image of shear wave velocities by transmitting push pulses to generate shear waves. A plurality of tracking lines are transmitted and echoes received by a focusing beamformer adjacent to the location of the push pulses. The tracking lines are sampled in a time-interleaved manner. The echo data acquired along each tracking line is processed to determine the time of peak tissue displacement caused by the shear waves at points along the tracking line, and the times of peaks at adjacent tracking lines compared to compute a local shear wave velocity. The resultant map of shear wave velocity values is color-coded and displayed over an anatomical image of the region of interest.

Abstract: A method for preparing artificial graphite includes (A) preparing heavy oil, and forming coke from the heavy oil through continuous coking reaction such that the coke has a plurality of mesophase domains, wherein a size of the mesophase domains ranges between 1 and 30 ?m by polarizing microscope analysis; and (B) processing the coke formed by step (A) sequentially by pre-burning carbonization treatment, grinding classification, high-temperature carbonization treatment and graphitization treatment to form polycrystalline artificial graphite from the coke.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a series of helical sulfono-?-AApeptides that mimic the binding mode of the ?-helical HD2 domain of B-Cell Lymphoma 9 (BCL9). As disclosed herein, sulfono-?-AApeptides can structurally and functionally mimic the ?-helical domain of BCL9, and selectively disrupt ?-catenin/BCL9 PPIs with even higher potency. More intriguingly, these sulfono-?-AApeptides can enter cancer cells, bind with ?-catenin and disrupt ?-catenin/BCL PPI, and exhibit excellent cellular activity, which is much more potent than the BCL9 peptide. Furthermore, enzymatic stability studies demonstrated the remarkable stability of the helical sulfono-?-AApeptides, with no degradation in the presence of pronase for 24 h, augmenting their biological potential.
