Local delivery of stromal cell-derived factor-1alpha (SDF-1) has been demonstrated to improve hind limb ischemia through enhanced neovascularization in animals. It was hypothesized that local administration SDF-1 also contributes ischemic heart.Acute myocardial infarction created by left coronary artery ligation C57BL/6J mice. Immediately after induction, mice were treated injection directly into the center myocardium either with saline (control group) or (SDF-1 group). Cardiac function...
Abstract Extracorporeal life support ( ECLS ) is used after congenital heart surgery for several indications, including failure to separate from cardiopulmonary bypass, postoperative low cardiac output syndrome, and extracorporeal resuscitation. Here, we assessed the outcomes of in children at our institution. Medical records all who required institution were reviewed. Between 2003 2011, 36 (1.4%) 2541 pediatric surgical cases . Median age patients was 64 days (range: 0 days–4.1 years). form...
This paper focuses on the power of comments to predict fault-prone programs. In general, along with executable statements enhance understandability However, may also be used mask lack readability in program, therefore well-written are referred as "deodorant code smells" field refactoring. conducts an empirical analysis examine whether Lines Comments (LCM) written inside a method's body is noteworthy metric for analyzing fault-proneness Java methods. The results show following two findings:...
Esophageal echocardiography was developed for recording left ventricular anterolateral wall (LVAW) echocardiograms and applied clinically to 14 normal subjects 21 patients with coronary artery disease. LVAW were obtained satisfactorily in 11 of (75%) 20 (95%) by conventional anterior eight (38%) In subjects, mm/sec (mean 34.3 +/- 5.2 mm/sec); diastolic thickness ranged from 9-12.5 mm 11.2 0.7 mm). disease, motion esophageal classified into five groups according the excursion, findings good...
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare disease that can be difficult to diagnose in its early stage. A young woman with fever and neck pain was thought have TA, although computed tomographic angiography did not show any specific changes of the arteries. [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([18F]FDG-PET) performed detect source inflammation. Specific accumulation [18F]FDG-6-phosphate thoracic aorta direct branches observed, leading diagnosis TA. [18F]FDG-PET therefore considered...
This paper focuses on the local variable names and comments that are major artifacts reflecting programmer's preference. It conducts an empirical analysis usefulness of those in assessing software quality from perspective change-proneness Java methods developed six popular open source products. The results show: (1) a method having longer named is more change-prone, (2) presence inside body strengthens suspicions to be modified after release. above worthy find which can survive unscathed
Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a newly described high-grade B cell developing in association with human herpes virus type 8 (HHV-8) immunodeficiency (HIV)-infecting individuals. Common variable (CVID) primary disease characterized by reduced serum immunoglobulin and heterogeneous clinical features. The risk of cancer CVID patients increased. Here, we describe PEL that developed the pleural pericardial cavities an HIV-negative HHV-8-negative patient CVID.
Single ventricle congenital heart defects are usually palliated with the end result of a Fontan circulation. Despite improving results, this circulation is still associated long-term failure. We previously developed an animal model mechanical cavopulmonary support that was successful in acute and mid-term period. In current study, we evaluated longer durations five Western-breed sheep. Through right thoracotomy instituted from inferior vena cava to pulmonary artery, using Heartmate II axial...
The major complication of Kawasaki coronary disease is myocardial infarction caused by thrombus formation inside the aneurysm or organic obstructive lesion following regression aneurysm, while indications for surgical therapy remain controversial. We have adopted artery bypass grafting (CABG) even in young children giant aneurysms (more than 8 mm diameter) with without a stenotic region when ischemia detected. hypothesized that shorter time-period from diagnosis acute (KD) to CABG would lead...
Total cavopulmonary connection (CPC) has a significant incidence of late failure due to increased systemic venous pressure and low cardiac output. Mechanical support could prevent by correcting hemodynamics. We established model inferior CPC using an axial flow pump (Thoratec HeartMate II, Thoratec Corp. Pleasanton, CA) in group ten 47-57 kg sheep assessed hemodynamics metabolism as potential chronic treatment option for failed Fontan circulation. After pilot studies (n = 7), three animals...
Operative mortality after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been reported as lower than open surgical (OSR) for abdominal aortic (AAA) in randomized controlled trials. However, many cohort studies have demonstrated similar rates both procedures. We compared operative between EVAR and OSR, at our institution.All AAA operations from 2012 to 2017 were reviewed, baseline characteristics collected. Outcomes included 30-day mortality, data, complications, length of hospital stay (LOS),...
We describe two cases of Fabry disease in non-blood-related Japanese men, manifesting recurrent stroke even after the start enzyme replacement therapy. Both exhibited chronic inflammation and ocular involvement with elevated levels serum C reactive protein prior to onset stroke. We, therefore, suggest association among persistent inflammation, a certain subset patients. received therapy no improvement inflammatory signs or laboratory data. These that should be considered young patients...
This paper focuses on comments described in Java programs, and conducts an empirical analysis about relationships between fault-proneness the programs. The types of analyzed this are inside a method body (inner comments), followed by declaration (documentation comments). Although both them play important roles program comprehension, they seem to be different purposes, inner often added present tips code fragments, while documentation usually work as programmer's manual. In field refactoring,...
