In Brief Objective Prognosis of severe coronary artery disease with no indication percutaneous intervention or bypass grafting remains poor. We have recently demonstrated that shock wave therapy effectively induces neovascularization and improves myocardial ischemia in a porcine model vivo. Methods With permission from the Ethical Committee our Institute, we treated nine patients end-stage (55–82 years old, five men four women) cardiac (200 shots/spot at 0.09 mJ/mm2 for 20–40 spots, 3 times...
Abstract Background: There are a variety of methods for assessing body composition. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is an easy and non-invasive technique, but has limitations in underweight overweight subjects. Few reports have investigated the validity BIA children. In this report, characteristics BIA, especially children, assessed results compared with those dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), as reliable method Methods: Determination fat-free mass (FFM), fat content percent...
Abstract OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify predictors of postoperative permanent neurological deficits (PNDs) and evaluate the early management cerebral perfusion in patients undergoing surgical repair acute type A aortic dissection with malperfusion. METHODS Between October 2009 September 2018, a total 197 underwent replacement. Of these, 42 (21.3%) had an imaging malperfusion (ICM). ICM was assessed preoperatively, which also revealed whether dissected supra-aortic branch vessels were...
Purpose This paper aims to examine the development of carer policies and protections in Hong Kong, emphasising need incorporate international practices adult protection. It provides a substantial review related legislations official definitions regarding informal carers, outlining their roles protections. Design/methodology/approach reviews current legal landscape for carers discussing problems complexities associated with lack protection carers. The analysis includes relevant legislation...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a major public health problem. Dental procedures that generate aerosols are considered to impose high risk of infection; therefore, dental professionals, such as dentists and hygienists, may be at viral transmission. However, few studies have reported COVID-19 clusters in care settings.To investigate whether oral/maxillofacial associated with the occurrence measures taken prevent nosocomial infection clinics.An online questionnaire...
The association of hepatic sarcoidosis with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considerably rare. Here we report a rare case HCC associated sarcoidosis.A 75-year-old male no history alcohol addiction or viral hepatitis was referred to our hospital because an abnormal liver mass. Subsegmentectomy the performed for diagnosis HCC. A histopathological examination revealed small non-necrotizing granulomas tendency coalesce that were scattered in and around carcinoma. No features cirrhosis,...
Cardiac rupture is rare but has a high mortality rate. due to blunt trauma generally caused by the heart being pinched into bony thorax.
A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital for an ascending aortic aneurysm, thoracoabdominal aneurysm and regurgitation. Graft repair of the thoracic arch valve replacement given priority completed, however he developed descending rupture before second scheduled surgery, endovascular stent grafting performed. He subsequently tracheobronchial obstruction esophageal perforation. The patient underwent urgent esophagectomy enterostomy with continuity later reestablished. However, died...
The signaling components located downstream of the transforming growth factor (TGF)‐β receptor are poorly understood. We constructed adenoviral vectors expressing a dominant‐negative form either H‐Ras (AdCARasY57) or Rac (AdCARacN17), and used them to examine roles in TGF‐β using arterial endothelial cells primary culture, several established including mink lung epithelial cell line (Mv1Lu). rapid activation p42/44 MAP kinase (MAPK) by TGF‐β1 was eliminated completely, transcriptional...
The purpose of this study was to design cyclodextrin (CyD)-based pseudorotaxane-like supramolecular complexes with various isoprenoid compounds, such as reduced coenzyme Q10 (R-CoQ10), squalene, tocotrienol, and teprenone, evaluate their pharmaceutical properties. Squalene, teprenone formed precipitates β-CyD γ-CyD in aqueous solution, whereas R-CoQ10 solution. results powder X-ray diffraction (1)H-NMR analyses indicated that these are derived from complexes. photostability markedly improved...
In order to solve the reachability problem of Petri nets, two approaches, tree and matrix equation, are usually applied. Firing count vector which is a solution equation will give us available information when using method equation. The major analysis lack firing sequences existence spurious solutions. ordinary cases, an incidence does not have full rank that necessary condition obtain inverse for solutions Research must be done determine should tried as vectors number may possibly infinite....
In order to solve the reachability problem in Petri nets, tree is one of useful method. To constructing tree, firing count vector will give available information. Firing can be get as a solution equation incidence matrix. ordinary cases, an matrix does not have full rank which necessary condition compute inverse for solutions equation. A method make from add some counter-places into But, this method, cycle structures and/or parallel must identified and total numbers counted up. Up present,...
Sequential function chart (SFC) is a kind of representation form which has been defined in the international standard IEC 1131-3 as common element languages programmable controllers (PLC). SFC derived from Petri net (PN) and, recently, it available many PLC. Because modifications PN, lot theoretical results PN can not be directly used for SFC. This paper aims to solve such problems and proposes method translates model verifies behavior based on its model. In this paper, pointed out that...
