On the quantitative variation of congruence ideals and integral periods of modular forms
We prove the conjecture of Pollack and Weston on the quantitative analysis of the level lowering congruence à la Ribet for modular forms of higher weight. It was formulated and studied in the context of the in...

On the indivisibility of derived Kato’s Euler systems and the main conjecture for modular forms
We provide a simple and efficient numerical criterion to verify the Iwasawa main conjecture and the indivisibility of derived Kato’s Euler systems for modular forms of weight two at any good prime under mild assu...

pH-Sensitive Polymeric Micelles as the Methotrexate Carrier for Targeting Rheumatoid Arthritis
An amphiphilic graft copolymer, composed of poly(β-amino ester)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PAE-g-PEG), was prepared as the drug carrier for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PAE-g-PEG was synthesized thro...
