We study the process e+ e- →(D* D*)± π∓ at a center-of-mass energy of 4.26 GeV using a 827  pb(-1) data sample obtained with the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. Based on a partial reconstruction technique, the Born cross section is measured to be (137±9±15)  pb. We observe a structure near the (D* D*)± threshold in the π∓ recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as the Zc±(4025). The measured mass and width of the structure are (4026.3±2.6±3.7)  MeV/c2 and (24.8±5.6±7.7)  MeV, respectively. Its production ratio σ(e+ e- → Zc±(4025)π∓ → (D* D*)± π∓)/σ(e+ e- → (D* D*)± π∓) is determined to be 0.65±0.09±0.06. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

The numbers of ψ(3686) events accumulated by the BESIII detector for the data taken during 2009 and 2012 are determined to be (107.0±0.8)×10 6 and (341.1±2.1)×10 6 , respectively, by counting inclusive hadronic events, where the uncertainties are systematic and the statistical uncertainties are negligible. The number of events for the sample taken in 2009 is consistent with that of the previous measurement. The total number of ψ(3686) events for the two data taking periods is (448.1±2.9)×10 6 .

The fabrication of microelectrodes integrated within ultra-low-volume microtiter chambers for the amperometric determination of metabolites continues to be of interest in the subject of single-cell and high-throughput screening. The microsystem described in this paper consists of a two-microelectrode sensor with a microfluidic dispensation technology, which is able to deliver both very low titers (6.5 pL) and single heart cells into a low-volume microphotoelectrochemical cell. Devices were fabricated using photolithography and liftoff giving reproducible sensors integrated within high aspect ratio titer chambers (with a volume of 360 pL), made of the photoepoxy SU8. In this paper, the determination of lactate was optimized using an enzyme-linked assay based upon lactate oxidase, involving the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide at +640 mV versus an internal Ag/AgCl pseudoreference. The microsystem (including the microfluidic dispensers and structures as well as the microsensor) was subsequently used to measure the lactate content of single heart cells. Dynamic electrochemical measurements of lactate during cell permeabilization are presented. We also show the use of respiratory uncouplers to simulate ischemia in the single myocyte and show that, as expected, the rate of lactate production from the hypoxic heart cell is greater than that within the normoxic healthy myocyte.
