Chromian Diopside from Sano, Yamanasi Prefecture

Sano 31_8

Taxanes, a new class of antitumor drugs, are effective against a large number of human tumors, although there are problems with drug resistance. The novel taxane, IDN5109, is characterized by its high tolerability, antitumor efficacy, ability to overcome multidrug resistance, and oral bioavailabilty. We investigated the cellular response of IDN5109 to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC...

Dynamic Compression of Diopside and Salite

New Hugoniot data on single crystal diopside, CaMgSi206 (Di), suggest that transformation to a high-pressure thermomechanical state begins at ---50 GPa and is complete above 100 GPa, in agreement with other pyroxenes and silicates of geophysical interest. Comparison of the new high pressure phase (HPP) data for Di and salite, CaMg0.82Fe0.•8Si206 (Sa) with appropriate mixed oxide and perovskite ...

Bioactive Wollastonite-Diopside Foams from Preceramic Polymers and Reactive Oxide Fillers

Wollastonite (CaSiO3) and diopside (CaMgSi2O6) silicate ceramics have been widely investigated as highly bioactive materials, suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. In the present paper, highly porous glass-ceramic foams, with both wollastonite and diopside as crystal phases, were developed from the thermal treatment of silicone polymers filled with CaO and MgO precursors, in the fo...
