BACKGROUND
Monocytes and macrophages are indispensable in the healing process after myocardial infarction (MI); however, the spatiotemporal distribution of monocyte infiltration and its correlation to prognostic indicators of reperfused MI have not been well described.
RESULTS
With combined fluorine
The joint actions were assessed by four methods after male Wistar rats had been acutely intoxicated with nine proportional mixtures of Al and F. Strong antagonistic effects of Al on F were observed in the mixtures, in which the ratio of Al to F ranged from 0.8:0.2 to 0.1:0.9. The optimum ratio of Al
Three patients were examined using PET with L-methyl-11C-methionine (11C-methionine) and 2-18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) 20 to 32 days after the occurrence of nontumoral brain hematomas. PET revealed high uptake of 11C-methionine in the area surrounding the hematoma in all three patients. In
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) arising in the uterine corpus is a very rare. Here, we report our experience with a primary LCNEC in the uterine corpus that showed prominent myometrial invasion without exhibiting any macroscopically distinct tumor formation in the uterine cavity. The
Knowing the precise flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is important in the management of multiple neurological diseases. Technology for non-invasively quantifying CSF flow would allow for precise localization of injury and assist in evaluating the viability of certain devices placed in In this study we evaluated on-line continuous blood sampling in a femoral arteriovenous (a-v) shunt for use in quantitative tracer studies using gamma-emitting radionuclides in animals. The shunt consisted of 40 cm polyethylene tubing (PE-50) guided through a coincidence probe. Two three-way valves
In rare disorders, there are often no standard therapy recommendations. Patients with refractory disease may require novel experimental approaches. Applied as second- up to fourth-line treatment, lenalidomide (10-25 mg perorally on days 1-21 in a 28-day cycle) was used in our cohort of four adult
Perfluorodecalin (PFD) was demonstrated in a human eye with fluorine-19 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging by employing a standard two-dimensional fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence. The presence and intraocular distribution of PFD were revealed despite the posterior eye segment being obscured by a
OBJECTIVE
To describe the multimodality imaging features, metastatic pattern and clinical outcome in adult extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES).
METHODS
In this institutional review board-approved, health insurance portability and accountability act-compliant retrospective study, we included 26
Pancreatic schwannoma is a very rare tumor that tends to be confused with other pancreatic tumors preoperatively. We report a case of schwannoma of the pancreatic head. A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for treatment of a pancreatic tumor which was found by medical checkup. It was a
The antithrombogenicity of the new antithrombogenic coating material "Fluorine-acryl-styrene-urethane-silicone (FASUS) graft-block copolymer" was evaluated by using arerio-arterial (A-A) shunt method in a rabbit and heparinless veno-arterial bypass (VAB) model in a dog. In ex vivo A-A shunt model,
To perform V-A bypass with minimal systemically administered heparin, we used a equipment coated by fluorine-acryl-styrene-urethane-silicone graft copolymer. A 67 year old woman developed right heart failure after CABG was treated for 25 hours on V-A bypass without oxygenator by using this new
We describe an unusual case of a 50-year-old female patient developing two primary cancers with neuroendocrine features. Initially the patient underwent surgery for an entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. During the subsequent follow-up she experienced some episodes of vaginal bleeding with
