Although microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in many biological processes, the mechanisms whereby miRNAs regulate osteoblastic differentiation poorly understood. Here, we found that BMP‐4‐induced of bone marrow‐derived ST2 stromal cells was promoted and repressed after transfection sense antisense miR‐210, respectively. A reporter assay demonstrated activin receptor type 1B ( AcvR1b ) gene a target for miR‐210. Furthermore, inhibition transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β)/activin signaling with...
Nanos (Nos) is an evolutionarily conserved protein essential for the survival of primordial germ cells. In Drosophila , maternal Nos partitions into pole cells and suppresses apoptosis to permit proper germ-line development. However, how this critical event regulated by has remained elusive. Here, we report that represses suppressing translation head involution defective ( hid ), a member RHG gene family required Caspase activation. addition, demonstrate acts in concert with another gene,...
An HDTV broadcasting service on one satellite broadcast channel became available after the development of a transmission system called MUSE involving bandwidth compression. Using MUSE, width 27 or 24 MHz in 12 GHz band can carry an picture, digitally-coded four-channel sound and independent digital signal at about 100 Kb/s.
Excessive accumulation of bone marrow adipocytes observed in senile osteoporosis or age-related osteopenia is caused by the unbalanced differentiation MSCs into osteoblasts. Several transcription factors are known to regulate balance between adipocyte and osteoblast differentiation. However, molecular mechanisms that have yet be elucidated. To identify candidate genes associated with osteoporosis, we performed genome-wide expression analyses differentiating osteoblasts adipocytes. Among were...
Background Cerebral microthromboembolism after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has been reported in 4–20% with perioperative warfarin. Dabigatran is a new anticoagulant patients nonvalvular AF. We investigated the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral AF warfarin or dabigatran using diffusion‐weighted and T2‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Results Our study included 210 consecutive (111 paroxysmal 99 persistent) who underwent complex fractionated electrogram‐guided...
A motion-compensated prediction system for interframe coding is proposed. An developed using this method and second-order temporal prediction. Real-time hardware of reasonable circuit size monochrome TV pictures has been constructed. Assessments have made the picture quality coded/decoded from a variety broadcast television programs. Quality was good almost all such subjective test performed under stringent conditions, some most difficult scenes selected in earlier experiments.
Abstract Background Pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection is the main cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. This study aimed to examine effect first‐pass PV isolation (PVI) on frequency during procedure and AF ablation outcomes. Methods retrospective included 446 patients with drug‐refractory (370 men, aged 64 ± 10 years) who underwent initial PVI using an open‐irrigated contact force catheter between January 2015 October 2016. We investigated spontaneous dormant conduction after...
Exposure characteristics of volume holograms are analyzed. The exposure different from those planar holograms. cause this is re-exposure by the diffracted reference and signal light. Coupled-wave equations that describe dynamic behavior volume-hologram recording process derived, several types calculated with these equations. affected dimensions, shape, absorption constant material phase difference between local irradiance resultant changes refractive index or constant. However, parameters do...
A type of light deflector that shows ultrahigh resolving power is proposed. This consists arrayed electrooptic prisms. The this <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">N</tex> times larger than a single prism, where the number If voltages applied on each crystal are all same, deflecting angle discontinuous. But if not equal to other, it can be continuous. Experiments were done using simple deflector. experimental results agreed with...
Cerebral Microthromboembolism After CFAE Ablation . Background: The incidence of cerebral thromboembolism after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) ranges from 2% to 14%. This study investigated the complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) ablation with or without PVI. Methods: One hundred consecutive fibrillation (AF) patients (50 paroxysmal and 50 persistent, including 10 longstanding) who underwent combined (n = 41, PVI+CFAE group) 59, PVI were studied. Coronary angiography (CAG) was...
The effect of noise from the deep brain stimulator (DBS) or neurologic symptoms hereditary dystonia on subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) remains unknown. Therefore, herein, we present first case S-ICD implantation in a patient with who underwent DBS.
Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles involved in lipid metabolic processes, including those of very-long-chain fatty acids and branched-chain acids, among others. Peroxisome matrix proteins synthesized the cytoplasm. Targeting signals (PTS or peroxisomal targeting signal) at C-terminus (PTS1) N-terminus (PTS2) mediate their import into organelle. In case PTS2-containing proteins, PTS2 signal is cleaved from protein when transported peroxisomes. The functional mechanism processing, however,...
Abstract Background Baloxavir marboxil (baloxavir) is a new anti-influenza drug that works as cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor. It approved for prophylactic use against influenza in Japan, but there are few reports on this usage hospitalized in-patients. reportedly reduces patient susceptibility to through mechanism involving amino acid substitution. Methods Between August 2023 and July 2024, we investigated the efficacy of baloxavir among in-patients at our hospital who had close...
Background:This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of venous figure-of-eight (FoE) suture to achieve femoral hemostasis after radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF).
Background: Although reconduction after pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is considered to play a key role in the recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), there have been few reports regarding precise time course early reconduction. Several studies suggested that transient PV facilitated by adenosine may predict long‐term AF recurrence. This study was designed clarify incidence and PVI during procedure confirm whether use ATP certain observation period useful detect PVI. Methods: In 21...
