To evaluate the performance of multidetector computed tomographic angiography (MDCTA) in assessing surgical resectability pancreatic head adenocarcinoma.With institutional review board approval, radiographic, surgical, and pathological records 203 consecutive patients with adenocarcinoma were analyzed retrospectively. Patients imaged MDCT scanners using our institution's CTA protocol. Images compared outcomes to determine sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative accuracy...
Over the past decade, molecularly-targeted contrast enhanced ultrasound (ultrasound molecular imaging) has attracted significant attention in preclinical research of cancer diagnostic and therapy. Potential applications for imaging run gamut from early detection characterization malignancies to monitoring treatment responses guiding therapies. There may also be a role agents improved delivery chemotherapeutic drugs gene therapies across biological barriers. Currently, first Phase 0 clinical...
We sought to assess the feasibility and reproducibility of 3-dimensional ultrasound molecular imaging (USMI) vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) expression in tumor angiogenesis using a clinical matrix array transducer grade VEGFR2-targeted contrast agent murine model human colon cancer.Animal studies were approved by Institutional Administrative Panel on Laboratory Animal Care. Mice with cancer xenografts (n = 33) imaged system (Philips iU22; X6-1) after intravenous...
Abstract A full description of the ontogeny β cell would guide efforts to generate cells from embryonic stem (ESCs). The first step requires an understanding definitive endoderm: genes and signals responsible for its specification, proliferation, patterning. This report describes a global marker endoderm, Claudin‐6 (Cldn6). We expression in early development with particular attention endoderm derivatives. To create genetic system drive gene throughout both spatial temporal control, we target...
Traditional moyamoya disease (MMD) classification relies on morphological digital subtraction angiography (DSA) assessment, which do not reflect hemodynamic status, clinical symptoms, or surgical treatment outcome.To (1) validate the new Berlin MMD preoperative symptomatology grading system and (2) determine application of in predicting radiological outcomes after revascularization.Ninety-six patients (192 hemispheres) with all 3 investigations (DSA, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI],...
During the 1995 Hyogoken-Nambu earthquake, extensive liquefaction occurred on reclaimed lands causing serious damage to pile foundations. This paper reports investigation of a foundation located in liquefied soil as well results its static and dynamic response analyses. Three piles building were examined by inserting remote controlled television camera an inclinometer into hollow spaces piles. Serious was observed at bottom fill where bent toward southwest. No near heads except for shear...

The velocity distribution function of hydrogen atoms is one the useful parameters to understand particle dynamics from negative production extraction in a ion source. Hydrogen atom temperature indicators function. To find feasibility measurement large scale filament arc source for fusion, model calculation wavelength-modulated laser absorption spectroscopy Balmer alpha line was performed. By utilizing wide range tunable diode laser, we successfully obtained ∼3000 K vicinity plasma grid...
There were several cases reported the damage to precast concrete piles during 2011 Great East Japan earthquake.To estimate strength and deformation characteristics of against big earthquakes, data existing load tests collected analyzed. The obtained by calculation used cross-sectional correspond results tests.
Abstract The authors performed static analyses using a foundation structure model to simulate the process leading distinctive damage pile foundations during 2011 off Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake. Notable aspects analytical method used for this simulation include consideration nonlinear load‐deformation characteristics elements, dependence rotational stiffness at head on axial load, and behavior soil spring including group effect. results simulations failure each loading direction...
A 40 kV IGBT switch has been developed, which consists of 36 series devices used for main switching and 6 transient-voltage regulation. The do not only DC kV-180 A, but also can shut off short-circuit current fast turn on again quickly (10ms later after the short-circuit). Also, a protection circuit developed against open mode fault results in critical situation such as arcing. detects over-voltage caused by restricts more rise voltage. This enhances reliability very much.
In this paper, we provide a data-driven approach for simultaneous updating of mathematical model plant and controller with respect to desired response the closed loop. Our basic strategy is adapt fictitious controller, which has been proposed by authors, described nominal initial tunable parameter one-shot experimental data directly. As result, such yields both simultaneously. order give validity method, also show an result.
