High-spin states in 139 Pm are investigated via the 116 Cd( 27 Al, 4n) 139 Pm fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 120 MeV. The previously reported level scheme has been modified because of identifications of some linking and doublet transitions. The revised yrast πh 11/2 band obviously undergoes πh 11/2 → π (h 11/2 ) 3 → π (h 11/2 ) 3 ⊗ν(h 11/2 ) −2 band crossings athω = 0.45 and 0.39 MeV. Two negative-parity dipole bands have been assigned as πh 11/2 ⊗ν(h 11/2 ) −2 and πh 11/2 ⊗ν(h 11/2 ) −4 configurations, respectively, and can be considered as examples of magnetic rotational bands.

The CXCL10/CXCR3 axis mediates T-cell recruitment into the skin in progressive vitiligo. Blocking this chemotactic mechanism may present a new form of therapy. Serum CXCL10 may be a novel biomarker in monitoring disease activity and guiding treatment of progressive vitiligo.

Serum total osteocalcin was closely associated with glucose and lipid metabolism in both Chinese men and post-menopausal women.
