Introduction of the β1-4 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-III) gene was reported to suppress metastasis in highly metastatic B16-hm murine melanoma cells (Yoshimura, M., Nishikawa, A., Ihara, Y., Taniguchi, S., and N. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92, 8754-8758). In this study, effect GnT-III transfer on E-cadherin studied, since acts as a suppressor metastasis. expression at cell-cell contacts expressing high activity greater than controls without affecting transcription....
The fifth metatarsal bone is a common site of stress fractures in soccer athletes. Although several endocrine risk factors for have been proposed, the risks (5-MT) not evaluated.To evaluate fractures, we conducted cumulative case-control study. present study included 37 athletes, which 18 had history zone 2 or 3 fracture and 19 controls. We analyzed serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), parathyroid hormone (PTH), as well biochemical markers turnover by univariate multivariate analyses.Logistic...
Efficient learning methods are important for cognitive rehabilitation. Studies have compared the benefits of errorless and trial-and-error (T&E) methods, focusing primarily on memory functions. Executive function related to error management has also been implicated in underlying processes needed T&E method, although few studies addressed this issue. Herein, further investigate adaptation involving executive function, we developed an experimental execution task correction process (i.e., chip...
Internal fixation is advocated as the primary treatment for fifth metatarsal Jones fractures in athletes; however, screw insertion site discomfort and refracture can occur especially competitive athletes. The ideal implant has not been determined.Headless compression of proximal an effective approach athletes.Case series; Evidence level, 4.We studied 60 athletes treated surgically with a headless (mean age, 19 years). mean follow-up time was 178 weeks. We evaluated clinical radiographic...
To explore brain functions in schizophrenic patients, the global analytic strategy of multichannel EEG was performed that combines measures complexity (Omega), total power (Sigma) and generalized frequency (Phi), microstate analysis applied to data for 24 nonmedicated patients healthy subjects. The had higher Omega Sigma values, lower Phi values compared with Three topographical classes were obtained from all by analysis. mean duration one class shortened These results indicated looser...
There are inconsistent reports regarding the caudate nucleus volume in patients with schizophrenia compared healthy subjects. The reason for this is that neuroleptic medication may affect of schizophrenic patients. To clarify which antipsychotic changes schizophrenia, we measured volumes grey and white matter Ten were examined twice by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure nucleus. After first MRI examination, all treated olanzapine. clinical responses evaluated positive negative...
The aim of this paper is to investigate cortical electric neuronal activity as an indicator brain function, in a mental arithmetic task that requires sustained attention, compared the resting state condition. two questions interest are localization different oscillatory activities, and directional effective flow between regions interest, condition state. In particular, theta alpha here, due their important role attention processing.We adapted ask study. Eyes closed 61-channel EEG was...
A brain microstate is characterized by a unique, fixed spatial distribution of electrically active neurons with time varying amplitude. It hypothesized that implements functional/physiological state the during which specific neural computations are performed. Based on this hypothesis, electrical activity modeled as sequence non-overlapping microstates variable, finite durations (Lehmann and Skrandies 1980, 1984; Lehmann et al 1987). In study, EEG recordings from 109 participants eyes closed...

1. Abstract EEG/MEG neuroimaging consists of estimating the cortical distribution time varying signals electric neuronal activity, for study functional localization and connectivity. Currently, many different imaging methods are being used, with very capabilities correct activity The aim here is to provide a guideline choosing best (i.e. least bad) method. This first limited comparison following EEG signals: sLORETA eLORETA (standardized exact low resolution electromagnetic tomography), MNE...
It is critical to develop accurate and universally available biomarkers for dementia diseases appropriately deal with the problems under world-wide rapid increasing of patients dementia. In this sense, electroencephalography (EEG) has been utilized as a promising examination screen assist in diagnosing dementia, advantages sensitiveness neural functions, inexpensiveness, high availability. Moreover, algorithm-based deep learning can expand EEG applicability, yielding automatic classification...
N -Acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnT-III) produces “bisecting-GlcNAc” and regulates the branching of N-glycans. GnT-III activity is elevated during hepatocarcinogenesis, which in contrast to undetectable level found normal hepatocytes. To determine biological significance hepatocytes, transgenic mice that specifically express liver were established characterized. The hepatocytes had a swollen oval-like morphology, with many lipid droplets. Apolipoprotein B, contained increased...
The problem of interest here is the study brain functional and effective connectivity based on non-invasive EEG-MEG inverse solution time series. These signals generally have low spatial resolution, such that an estimated signal at any one site instantaneous linear mixture true, actual, unobserved across all cortical sites. False can result from analysis these low-resolution signals. Recent efforts toward "unmixing" been developed, under name "leakage correction". One recent noteworthy...
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> The aim of this study was to compare the effects risperidone long-acting injection (RLAI) and paliperidone palmitate (PP) on non-acute-phase social functioning in patients with schizophrenia. <b><i>Patients Methods:</i></b> In 6-month pilot, open-label, randomized controlled study, 30 schizophrenia who had been treated RLAI were randomly allocated continuation group or switched PP group. Patients evaluated at baseline 6...
The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) is a commonly targeted brain region for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) depression. lDLPFC has been identified using the "5-cm rule." However, identification of may deviate from ideal site localized by neuronavigation. Therefore, we aimed to compare this method with other methods and examine relationship between deviation treatment effects. While most existing studies have focused on participants European descent, study...
