From among the subjects of a follow‐up study on cases autism conducted by authors in 1990, 179 for which precise records were available infancy period selected evaluation relationship between occurrence setback phenomenon and long‐term prognosis. The following results obtained: (i) significantly higher rate epilepsy group compared to non‐setback group; (ii) lower level language development upon entering elementary school group, although difference present levels adaptation two groups was not...

Abstract This study was performed to investigate the relationship between mental state (especially flow experience [Flow Experience Checklist of Ishimura]) health‐related quality life (Medical Outcome Study 8‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey), and stress (salivary amylase concentrations). The subjects were 119 healthy elderly persons living in rural areas who participated a “meeting for elderly” at nursing home Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. classified into apathetic, anxious, relaxed, groups. It...

A survey was conducted on the present behavioral characteristics of 187 cases adult autism in patients over 18␣years age employing Achenbach's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). When their were evaluated relation to Present Language Developmental Level (PLDL) and Adaptive (PAL), it seen that greater variation behavior among those exhibiting increasingly lower PLDL PAL scores. reminiscent depression noted even high PLDL. pointing obsession found common almost all irrespective or PAL. Psychotic...

A 74‐year‐old woman with extensive inoperable vulval extramammary Paget's disease who had lymph node and pulmonary metastases, was treated etoposide (VP16) 100 mg 5000 cGy electron beam irradiation, which reduced the lesion by 60%. Following these interventions, residual successfully repeated photodynamic therapy using δ‐aminolaevulinic acid, achieved a nearly complete remission.

We examined mRNA expression and internal tandem duplication of the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene in haematological malignancies by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) genomic PCR followed sequencing. By RT-PCR, FLT3 was detected 45/74 (61%) leukaemia cell lines frequency significantly higher undifferentiated type (B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; ALL) than differentiated (B-ALL) (P = 0.0076). Using method, 194 fresh samples including 87 myeloid...

Culture broth from an isolate of Phoma glomerata (no. 324, = JCM 9972) the leaves Viola sp., controlled soilborne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae which causes clubroot disease cruciferous plants. This effect was caused by epoxydon (5‐hydroxy‐3‐(hydroxymethyl)‐7‐oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hept‐3‐en‐2‐one). Although this substance known to have antitumour activity, phytotoxicity and antiauxin no plant reduction had been reported previously. Epoxydon possessed neither strong antimicrobial activity nor...

We have successfully fabricated 1.3-/spl mu/m AlGaInAs strain-compensated multiple-quantum-well (MQW) buried-heterostructure (BH) lasers by narrow-stripe selective metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. Based on the optimization of strain compensated MQW and Al-oxidation-free BH process, we obtained a low-threshold current 12.5 mA relaxation frequency more than 10 GHz at 85/spl deg/C for Fabry-Perot lasers. For distributed feedback lasers, demonstrated 10-Gb/s operation transmission over 16 Km...

Loops are directly defined on an instruction execution string rather than a directed graph model of program derived from the source code. A simple efficient algorithm to find loops and subloops thus is presented.

This paper describes a global compaction algorithm which can produce efficient microprograms with respect to both space and time. The depends upon generalized data dependency graph (GDDG), integratedly express the concurrency of microorders their mobility past boundaries basic blocks, as well control flow for microprogram. In an initial GDDG is first built up from source microprogram consisting sequence microorders, this transformed by repeated application set microscopic transformation...

Susceptibility to the development of atopic diseases is known involve genetic factors. Several investigators have reported interleukin-4 (IL-4) receptor alpha gene be involved in atopy. Recent study has shown that R allele a polymorphism IL-4 chain (Q576R) associated with atopy.The objective this was evaluate possible role modulating allergic response and asthma Japanese population.We conducted linkage analysis using microsatellite markers flanking 82 families ascertained through asthmatic...

The composition of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) changes during inflammation; however, potential HDL function inflammation and the effects acute phase proteins that are either on particles or in serum have not been clarified. concentrations C-reactive protein (CRP), amyloid A (apoSAA) isoforms, lipids apolipoproteins, activities lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) paraoxonase (PON) were measured before after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 12 patients with cholecystolithiasis to...

New super self-aligned process technology has been developed using a new method of shallow base formation and 0.5-/spl mu/m double polysilicon bipolar process. The formation, which uses diffusion source this oxide implanted with BF/sub 2/ ions, can be easily used in combination SST technology. Furthermore, the collector electrode is formed by trench-filled phosphorous-doped polysilicon, reduces transistor area resistance. Using technology, high cut-off frequency 40.75 GHz at V/sub CE/ = 1 V,...

Due to explosive growth in mobile applications and services with different requirements, the concept of edge computing (MEC) has emerged. For MEC, a user (MU) MEC server need exchange tasks using limited radio resources. Furthermore, when multiple MUs possess tasks, handle simultaneously. Thus, resources be allocated by taking into account wireless channel condition power server. In this paper, resource allocation scheme is proposed minimize total processing completion time all tasks. Each...

The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is an individualized patient-reported outcome designed to evaluate the self-perceptions of a patient's occupational performance. Our study aimed examine minimal important change (MIC) in inpatients undergoing subacute rehabilitation. MIC values were calculated using three different anchor-based analyses with transition index as external criterion; mean method (MICMeanChange), receiver operating characteristic (MICROC) analysis, and...

The effect of particle size on rotary bending fatigue behaviour was studied for powder metallurgy 2024 aluminium alloy composites reinforced with 10 wt% silicon carbide particles (SiC p ). Average sizes 5, 20 and 60 μm were evaluated. Particle had a significant influence strength, indicating an increased strength decreasing size. composite 5 SiC showed higher than the unreinforced alloy. incorporation led to increase in at high stress level, but improvement diminished slightly decreased...

A novel flash cell structure named DINOR (DIvided bit-line NOR) whose is divided into main and sub bit-line, having a unit consisting of one select transistor 8 stacked gate cells, proposed. By combining this gate-biased FN erase/write operation, we have succeeded in making that has little drain disturb, high over erasure tolerance, low power dissipation, possibility 3 volt data transfer rate, small erase unit, without losing fast random access. All the disturbs single-cell endurance...

Falls are a common problem among elderly persons, but the training for fall prevention is not well established. Therefore, effectiveness of toe grasp was examined in this study. Spontaneous postural sway tested on persons (N=19) with eyes open and closed. Using force plate, responses were quantified terms total track length, environmental areas, maximum amplitude distance X-axis, Y-axis. The data compared between group control group. Total length (eyes closed), areas open) X-axis closed)...

The aim of this study was to identify factors related the health-related quality life (HRQOL) caregivers providing continuing home care for impaired elderly focusing mainly on managers' support given caregivers. Two interviews over a course 12 months were conducted with 42 questionnaire items included demographic variables, HRQOL, satisfaction level managers, coping ability, and depressive state. For elderly, abilities activities daily living, dementia assessment, mean age 66.1 ± 8.8. By...
