The neuronal cytoskeleton comprises microtubules, actin filaments, and neurofilaments plays a critical role in axon outgrowth transport. Microtubules filaments have attracted considerable attention regeneration studies. We previously shown that TC10, Rho family GTPase promotes through membrane addition, is required for efficient regeneration. This study demonstrates TC10 on recycling endosomes, but not the plasma membrane, balances microtubule stability/dynamics axons, thereby counteracting...
We have isolated, cloned and characterized three cDNAs two genomic DNAs corresponding to the mRNAs genes for horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) peroxidase isoenzyme C (HPR C). The amino acid sequence of HRP C1, deduced from nucleotide one cDNA clone, pSK1, contained same primary as that purified enzyme established by Welinder [FEBS Lett. 72, 19-23 (1976)] with additional sequences at N terminal. All inserts in clones, pSK2 pSK3, coded size peptide (308 residues) if these are processed way,...
A cost-effective gait analysis system without attachments and specialized large environments can provide useful information to determine effective treatment in clinical sites. This study investigates the capability of a single camera-based pose estimation using OpenPose (OP) measure temporo-spatial joint kinematics parameters during with orthosis. Eleven healthy adult males walked under different conditions speed foot progression angle (FPA). Temporo-spatial were measured OP...
Summary Background : A retrospective survey of 339 infants who had undergone primary plastic surgery for cleft lip and palate was performed to evaluate the concomitant preoperative assessment based on severity grading common cold correlation type with incidence perioperative respiratory complications. Methods We assessed symptoms in period using Common Cold Score, which comprises 10 findings. then determined association complications increasing also compared complication three types healthy...
Abstract The diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) using conventional endoscopy is difficult because submucosal (SMT) lesions like GIST are covered by a mucosal layer. Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) can obtain optical information from deep inside tissues. However, far less progress has been made in the development techniques for distinguishing GIST. This study aimed to investigate whether NIR-HSI suitable SMT lesions. In this study, 12 gastric were surgically...
Abstract A markerless gait analysis system can measure useful metrics to determine effective clinical treatment. Although this does not require a large space, several markers, or time constraints, it inaccurately lower limb joint kinematics during gait. In particular, has substantial ankle angle error. study, we investigated the method capability using single RGB camera-based pose estimation by OpenPose (OP) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor on foot segment under various...
Background/Objectives: Oral hypofunction mechanisms have been examined through studies investigating the relationship between number of remaining teeth, bite force, mastication ability, and lateral induction factors influencing chewing pathways. How-ever, many previous lacked consistent verification across same subjects, leaving key contributing unaddressed. This study aimed to develop a reliable oral model using non-invasive mouthpieces. Methods: Ten healthy adults (five men, five women;...
Studies have examined the mechanisms of oral hypofunction by investigating relationship between number remaining teeth, bite force, mastication ability, and lateral induction factors influencing chewing pathways. However, many previous studies not consistently assessed same individuals across all these factors, leaving key contributing unaddressed. This study aimed to develop a reliable model using non-invasive mouthpieces. We hypothesized that it is possible reproduce in healthy mouthpiece...
In both competitive and recreational sports, ankle sprains injury according to studies with partially treated frequently, more than 40% of occurrence cases are the most common. There some restrictions related existing scenario, even though rehabilitation treatment is available. First, expense treating injuries considerable might be a burden for patients, whilst effectiveness traditional treatments heavily depends on physiotherapist's expertise manual training approach wears out...
The design and control of an active ankle-foot rehabilitation orthotic system that was designed as a wearable portable walking assistive tool is presented. This device can measure assist the six degree freedoms (DOFs) movement human ankle joint by using Stewart platform mechanism, which adapt to displacement rotation axis during foot. estimation method instantaneous motion also proposed. In this paper, measurement performance developed evaluated. Static dynamic reproduction verification...
Although weight transfer is an important component of gait rehabilitation, the biomechanical strategy underlying vertical ground reaction force loading/unloading in individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation between intact and prosthetic limbs remains unclear. We investigated at different walking speeds 15 without as controls, who walked on instrumented treadmill. The normalized unloading loading rates were calculated slope decay rise phase force, respectively. performed linear...
This paper proposes that a vision based robust person following method under varying illumination. The is using color stereo camera and laser range sensor. detected on disparity images HSV spaces from distance information the developed applies for an inverted pendulum type robot (Segway RMP) humanoid service (enon). validity of proposed methods confirmed though experiments in in/out door environment.
Understanding the characteristics of ground reaction forces (GRFs) on both limbs during sprinting in unilateral amputees wearing running-specific prostheses would provide important information that could be utilized evaluation athletic performance and development training methods this population. The purpose study was to compare GRFs between intact prosthetic transfemoral prostheses. Nine sprinters with amputation same type prosthesis performed maximal a 40-m runway. were recorded from 7...
[abstFig src='/00280005/06.jpg' width='300' text='Developed device' ] According to a worldwide WHO survey, about one-third of people at the age 65 or older experience least one fall year, which may result in severe injury. Meanwhile, population developed world is increasingly aging, and incidents can be therefore considered as global problem. The causes falls include weakening tibialis anterior gastrocnemius muscles that respectively play important roles dorsal plantar flexion foot,...
In this study, a laparoscopic imaging device and light source able to select wavelengths by bandpass filters were developed perform multispectral (MSI) using over 1000 nm near-infrared (OTN-NIR) on regions under laparoscope. Subsequently, MSI (wavelengths: 1000–1400 nm) was performed the built nine live mice before after tumor implantation. The normal pixels captured within used as teaching data sets, tumor-implanted classified neural network applied following leave-one-out cross-validation...
