Low concentrations (0.11-1.7 microg ml(-1)) of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are multi-walled CNTs modified by amino groups, when added with nerve growth factor (NGF), promoted outgrowth neuronal neurites in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12h cells culture media. The quantity active extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) was higher after the addition both 0.85 ml(-1) NGF than that alone. increased number neurite DRG inhibition ERK...
To evaluate the long-term efficacy and factors involved in recurrence persistence of subretinal fluid (SRF) after half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).In this retrospective observational case series, 79 eyes (73 patients) with CSC were treated PDT followed up at least 3 years. They divided into successful (64 eyes) unsuccessful (15 groups based on SRF absorption disease one session. Age, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), foveal thickness,...
We evaluated strategies for postmarket surveillance of medical devices in the United States, European Union, Japan, and China.N Each system shares several common elements, including primary reliance on passive adverse event collection marketed devices, but vary widely their allocation stakeholder responsibilities mechanisms evaluating performance safety approved devices.N Postmarket may be improved through greater transparen- cy, scheduled re-examination balancing central local control.
Noroviruses are common causative agents of epidemic gastroenteritis in humans. Recent studies showed that human susceptibility to noroviruses was associated with ABO histo-blood group type. It also observed various degrees were exhibited by different norovirus strains. In January 2003, an outbreak acute including 661 affected primary and junior high school students occurred through lunch bread contaminated Hokkaido, Japan. To clarify the relationship between type infection, we performed a...
This paper analyzes four issues about “telemedicine” in light of the systems (norms), responsibilities, and liabilities effectively connecting health services. The structures are: First is “face to face examination” as a general principle physician’s responsibility liability. Second dividing lines between physicians telemedicine. Third are areas which should be regulated by medical practitioners acts providing Fourth fee arrangements cost burden for continuing telemedicine projects. authors...
BACKGROUND: Recently, a more accurate and reliable screening test has been investigated for noninvasive prenatal fetal RHD genotyping from D– women. The objective of this study was to perform the new method with maternal plasma women by use capillary electrophoresis. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Blood samples were obtained 8 D+ nonpregnant donors mixed make samples. DNA extracted appropriate conditions relating initial sample volume as well polymerase chain reaction cycle numbers analyzed...
The "moth-eye" structure, which is observed on the surface of corneal lens in several insects, supports anti-reflective and self-cleaning functions due to nanoscale protrusions known as nipples. Although morphology function are relatively well studied, mechanism protrusion formation from cell-secreted substances unknown. In Drosophila melanogaster, a compound eye consists approximately 800 facets, formed by with protrusions. present study, we sought identify genes involved order elucidate...
Retrospective and comparative study.We assessed surgical treatment outcomes in patients with thoracic myelopathy due to ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF), OLF combined posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) or vertebral fracture (VF) at same level.OLF OPLL cause severe myelopathy. Osteoporotic VF commonly occurs thoracolumbar junction. There have been no investigations VF.Forty were divided among three groups: group (n=23): OLF, OLF+OPLL (n=12): OPLL, OLF+VF (n=5): VF. We recorded...
Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus (BSCCE) is a relatively rare variant oesophageal malignancy. There are no established treatment strategies for pulmonary metastases BSCCE.A 72-year-old man underwent oesophagectomy and subsequently received pathological diagnosis stage IIIA (T3N1M0) BSCCE according to Union International Cancer Control. One year 5 months later, he partial resection right lung because metastasis BSCCE. 6 after resection, recurrence in was observed. The...
In healthy, nonelderly populations, prevalence of 3 modifiers global spinal malalignment (GS-MalAlign) (PT ≧20°, PI-LL≧10°, SVA≧40 mm) remains unknown. The clinical significance has not been determined. purposes are to disclose the GS-MalAlign, and evaluate influence on LBP, HR-QOL related bone mineral density (BMD), skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), back extensors strength (BMES) in a population.A mono-centric, cross-sectional survey. Three hundred 2 participants (18< age <65 years) without...
Myeloid sarcoma occurs in 1% - 9% of patients with myelogenous leukemia. Spinal epidural myeloid is particularly rare, and its treatment has not been established. A 27-year-old woman complained pain on her left chest, back around the scapula, neck. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a thoracic tumor. One week after visit, she developed motor weakness lower extremities dysuria, was diagnosed acute leukemia (AML) peripheral blood analysis. The tumor strongly suspected to be sarcoma....
