An efficient method of constructing recombinant adenoviruses (Ads) has been established. The expression unit to be introduced into Ad was first inserted the unique Swa I site full-length genome cloned in a cassette cosmid. bearing then cotransfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells together with DNA-terminal protein complex digested at several sites Eco T22I or Ase I/EcoRI. use parent instead deproteinized DNA allowed very recovery desired Ad, and above restriction digestion drastically...
Many studies have shown that a one-time 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scintigraphic study during stable period is useful for determining the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, findings from this imaging modality are well known to be improved by medical treatment failure. Accordingly, was performed determine whether serial 123I-MIBG represent reliable prognostic marker CHF.A total 208 CHF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 45%) and no cardiac...
Background The prognostic value of non-obstructive, CT low-dense plaques (CTLDP) on multislice computed tomography (MSCT) for the prediction nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina (UA) and cardiac death has not yet been defined. Methods Results In present study 810 patients who underwent MSCT had non-obstructive coronary artery disease were followed up occurrence AMI, UA death. Non-obstructive CTLDP defined as with a density <68 Hounsfield units, accompanied by mild to...
Recently, the employment rate of women in Japan has steadily increased. Approximately 80% experience menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). These symptoms decrease a woman’s quality life her work productivity, leading to an economic loss. This cross-sectional study 321 healthy Japanese aged 20–39 years aimed clarify lifestyle-related factors or nutrient intake that might cause pain. The participants underwent body composition measurements completed meal survey sheets lifestyle...
Background Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) was used to evaluate coronary artery remodeling in patients with acute syndrome (ACS) and stable angina (SA). Methods Results MSCT performed 31 ACS 26 SA intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) 28 of these 57 patients. In both the IVUS analyses, assessed by index (RI): RI >1.10 defined as positive (PCAR) <0.95 negative (NCAR). The closely correlated that (r=0.86, n=28). vessel area at region maximum luminal narrowing also comparable between...
Many studies have shown that cardiac sympathetic nerve activity evaluated by [(123)I]m-iodobenzylguanidine ([(123)I]MIBG) scintigraphic study during a stable period is useful for determining the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure.To examine whether results this imaging method performed 3 weeks after onset ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are reliable prognostic marker STEMI.The analysed findings 213 consecutive STEMI undergoing [(123)I]MIBG scintigraphy. The...
Abstract Polarographic behavior of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)chromium(III) perchlorate and tris(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) in acetonitrile solutions has been investigated by the measurement d.c., a.c. Kalousek polarograms. The bipyridine complex gives a six-step reduction wave when tetraethylammonium is used as supporting electrolyte. limiting currents first four steps are all diffusion-controlled, each them one-electron process. It proposed that at fourth step univalent...
The relationship between the left atrial appendage (LAA) function, as assessed by transesophageal echocardiography, and incidence of thrombus was evaluated in 62 patients with nonvalvular chronic fibrillation (AF; n=50) flutter (AFL; n=12). It hypothesized that both AF AFL not only LAA flow velocity (LAAFV), but also frequency movement (the time, LAAFT) is a major contributing factor to formation. LAAFT defined average duration emptying filling waves. were divided into 2 groups: lone (n=14)...
In spite of its extensive use, speech analysis based on linear prediction (LP) is liable to various causes inaccuracy. This paper presents a novel approach improve the accuracy in estimation voiced production model LP method. The presented method uses interpolation between spectral points which are least influenced by artifacts and noise signal. We show, analyses both synthetic natural speech, that averaged parabolic approximation harmonic peaks spectrum reduces sensitivity changes...
Objective Short-acting loop diuretics are known to enhance cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The effects of two diuretics—long-acting azosemide and short-acting furosemide—on CSNA were evaluated using 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy CHF. Methods present study was a subanalysis our previously published study, which had reported that serial I-MIBG studies the most useful prognostic indicator Patients CHF (n=208, left...
The Linear Predictive (LP) method has been widely used in speech analysis, mainly because of the simple mathematical formulation model and straightforward computation its parameters. However, there still remain certain difficulties that cause errors result analysis. Often encountered are due to harmonic structure excitation source. Spectral Transform LP (STLP) proposed present paper aims at reducing these errors. Amplitude transforms on input spectrum introduced modify error criterion...
Mid-ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (MVOHCM) is a rare type of cardiomyopathy, associated with apical aneurysm formation in some cases.We report patient presenting ventricular fibrillation, an ECG above normal ST segment, and elevated levels cardiac enzymes but coronary arteries.Left ventriculography revealed left obstruction without aneurysm.There was significant pressure gradient between the basal sites ventricle.Cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performed on 10th...
The mid-term prognostic significance of ECG-gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) remains unclear in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). In the present study rates future cardiac events (nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI), death (CD) and severe heart failure (HF) requiring hospitalization) were compared without DM.1,810 (563 DM 1,247 non-DM) we followed for a mean 26.3±15.5 months. Summed stress score (SSS), summed difference (SDS), poststress...
