The 2-year prognosis of malignant mammary tumors seen in 175 bitches the Tokyo metropolitan area was assessed based on their TNM clinical staging and histological classification. larger tumor size became (T category), poorer prognosis. survival rates animals with regional lymph node metastasis cells (N1, N2 category) and/or distant (M1 were markedly lower than those without such involvement. As grade increased, poorer, however, there no significant differences among subtypes adenocarcinomas...
ABSTRACT Aichi viruses isolated in Vero cells from seven patients five gastroenteritis outbreaks Japan, Japanese returning Southeast Asian countries, and local children Pakistan with were examined for differentiation based on their reactivities a monoclonal antibody to standard strain (A846/88) reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) of three genomic regions. The RNA sequences determined 519 bases these 17 isolates at the putative junction between C terminus 3C N 3D. analyses revealed an...
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) plays crucial roles in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. It is produced after processing pro-IL-1β by caspase-1, which activated inflammasome-a multiprotein complex comprising nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor (NLR), adaptor protein apoptosis-associated speck-like containing a caspase-recruitment (ASC), and procaspase-1. Mycoplasma salivarium preferentially inhabits gingival sulcus incidence number organisms oral cavity increase...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance newly implemented dynamic MR dacryocystography.Dynamic dacryocystography, which requires neither ionizing radiation nor chemical contrast media with high viscosity, may be a useful tool for depicting nasolacrimal obstructions.
40 haemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic injuries were studied to assess the ability of plain radiographs detect haemorrhagic sites. Pelvic and bilateral angiograms reviewed separately for detection sites in both anterior posterior segments. Sensitivity specificity obtained by analysis angiographic findings. Angiography demonstrated arterial injury 106 divisions: 26 right anterior, 22 posterior, 33 left 25 posterior. Sensitivities predicting higher segment (right, 96%; left, 100%)...
Summary The NLRP3 inflammasome, an intracellular sensor consisting of the nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), adaptor protein apoptosis‐associated speck‐like a caspase‐recruitment (ASC), and procaspase‐1, plays critical roles in host defense against microbial pathogens by inducing production interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β) IL‐18. Mycoplasma salivarium pneumoniae cells activated murine bone marrow‐derived macrophages (BMMs) to induce...
The performance of a newly developed potential tumor-seeking magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent alpha-Aqua-13,17-bis(1-carboxypropionyl) carbamoylethyl-3,8-bis(1-phenethyloxyethyl)-beta-hydroxy-2,7,12,18-tetramethyl-porphyrinato manganese (III) (HOP-8P) was tested using mouse model. Tumor-bearing (SCC-VII) mice were imaged 1.5T MR imager before and after intravenous administration 0.1 mmol/kg HOP-8P. A biodistribution analysis performed an optical emission spectrometer. Significant...
We report an unusual case of perforation a congenital fibrosarcoma the jejunum in utero and secondary meconium peritonitis. Prenatal ultrasound showed polyhydramnios fetal ascites from 25 gestational weeks absence other anomalies. A 2200 g baby girl was born at 34 gestation, presenting with severe generalized edema respiratory distress immediately after birth. Plain radiography revealed progressive abdominal distension pneumoperitoneum. The subsequently underwent surgery age one day. upper...
The clinical usefulness of biodegradable oriented poly-L-lactide (PLLA) screws for experimental Salter-Harris type 4 fracture in the distal femoral condyle dogs was evaluated. Bony union osteotomized fragment almost completed radiographically and histologically within 1 to 2 months after surgery, suggesting that PLLA maintained strength long enough fix until bone healing. At 6 minute fissures were confirmed on surface screw thread, early stage biodegradation absorption polymer. During...
Two existing approaches facilitate the understanding of role soy protein in maintaining soybean product quality: first involves separation major fractions from seeds via various techniques, whereas second compares products made several varieties with different contents and compositions. In this study, we developed a novel method fractionating total proteins determining composition seeds. A high-salt concentration solution was used to extract whole non-defatted powder. The separated into four...
Abstract Selecting suitable soybean cultivars is important for food processing and exploring their endowment with desirable physiological functions. We applied the fractionation method previously established to compare soy protein composition among promote such a selection. More than 95% of proteins in cotyledons were extracted from 13 using high‐concentration salt solution. The fractionated into five fractions, namely oil body‐associated (OBAP), polar lipid‐associated (PLAP), globulins (11S...
Right-to-left shunts of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) can be detected and measured by perfusion scans using Tc-99m MAA. In PAVM with a relatively small right-to-left shunt, however, measurement the shunt ratio may not reliable. This study re-evaluated for PAVM.Tc-99m MAA lung were performed in five patients proved before after percutaneous transcatheter embolization. The was calculated extrapulmonary uptake assessed on total-body images.Lung obtained embolization revealed brain...
Transverse diaphyseal fractures of the femur were experimentally made in immature cats, and fixed by an intramedullary pinning technique using uniaxially oriented poly-L-lactide (PLLA) rod, a biodegradable polymer. The healing process was evaluated radiographically histologically. Formation bony callus completed 8 weeks, cortical union followed. remodeling then observed form 12 to 16 weeks. almost same as when metallic implant used. Abundant periosteal formation may be attributable lower...
Many papers have reported the effect of amphetamine and its close relative, methamphetamine on sexual activity in humans. The these drugs animal behavior is unknown. present study was done to determine whether modifies copulatory male rats. Sexually experienced rats Wistar-Imamichi strain, 10 weeks age, were singly injected intraperitoneally with hydrochloride at doses 0, 1, 2 or 4 mg/kg body weight. Tests initiated 19: 30 dark period. Observations conducted for 90 min. At dosages 1 there no...
This study was designed to determine whether oral streptococci modulate the growth and functions of regulatory T cells. Heat-killed cells wild-type strains Streptococcus gordonii mutans induced Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) -mediated nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation, but their lipoprotein-deficient did not. Stimulation with these resulted in a significant increase frequency CD4(+) CD25(+) Foxp3(+) splenocytes derived from both TLR2(+/+) TLR2(-/-) mice, level stronger than that splenocytes....
