Quantitative contrast enhanced ultrasound is a major breakthrough for ultrasound imaging in recent years. However, contrast enhancement of the pancreas is brief with bolus injection. To assess if continuous infusion of Sonazoid® can prolong the duration of pancreatic enhancement over bolus injections, eight adult dogs received bolus injection and continuous infusion of Sonazoid® on separate days. Contrast enhanced ultrasound of the pancreatic parenchyma and proximal descending duodenum was performed, and time intensity curves reflecting tissue perfusions were generated. Perfusion parameters- time to initial upslope, peak time, time to wash-out and peak intensity were calculated and evaluated. Fast wash-in to intense peak, followed by rapid wash-out was observed for time intensity curves of bolus injection. With continuous infusion, contrast wash-in to peak intensity was gradual, followed by long plateau and slow wash-out. Median contrast enhancement durations of the pancreas and duodenum were significantly prolonged by continuous infusion from 11 sec (range, 10 to 23 sec) and 16 sec (range, 3 to 43 sec) at bolus injection to 205 sec (range, 170 to 264 sec, P<0.01) and 193 sec (range, 169 to 216 sec, P<0.05), respectively. Median peak intensity of the pancreas was 100.9 MPV (range, 80.2 to 124.3 MPV) at bolus injection and 77.6 MPV (range, 58.2 to 99.5 MPV, P<0.05) at continuous infusion. Prolonged continuous imaging is afforded by continuous infusion of contrast agent. Peak intensity of the pancreas was slightly diminished in continuous infusion, but offered adequate imaging subjectively.

A 4-year-old female Maltese (case 1), a 9-year-old castrated male Shih-Tzu (case 2) and 2-year-old female Pomeranian (case 3) were presented because of neurological signs such as head tilt, ataxia, circling and paresis. Three cases were tentatively diagnosed to meningoencephalitis of unknown etiology based on computed tomography scan and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. All patients were managed with cyclosporine plus prednisolone therapy. The survival times of three patients were 170, 70 and 21 days, respectively. After cases expired, we performed necropsy and histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis. Based on the necropsy, histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations, case 1, 2 and 3 were definitely diagnosed to necrotizing meningoencephalitis, necrotizing leukoencephlaitis and granulomatous meningoencephalitis, respectively. This case report demonstrated that the clinical findings, brain CT characteristics, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of NME, NLE and GME in dogs and discussed about the reason of relatively short survival times under cyclosporine plus prednisolone therapy.

This paper treats requests for ambulance from a corpus of emergency calls (119 calls), which were audio-recorded at a 119 dispatch center during the summer of 1994. In these calls, it is observable that when callers identify themselves, almost all of them use relational terms along with their names, e. g., “ (My name is) Yamada Hanako. wife. ” The question is not why they use such relational terms, but what they do as they use such terms. In order to treat this question, a device-what Harvey Sacks named Membership Catergorization Device-and its use will be considered.

In this paper, some properties of calls for emergency help is considered. The data sets are derived from the audio-taped telephone calls placed to a 119 dispatch center during the summer of 1994. For any hearer of the tapes or reader of the transcribed calls, it is ‘obvious’ that these are calls of emergency, yet, the question remains: How are they accomplished? This paper elucidates three main features of this talk. Firstly, in the topical opening of talk, the dispatch personnel ask the caller for the emergency category relevant to his or her needs, namely “Fire or Ambulance?”. Secondly, in the middle of the talk, both co-conversants confirm paticular relevancies of the emergency call, e.g., “Are there any injured persons?”. Thirdly, in the closing of talk, almost all the dispatchers announce that an emergency vehicle is on the way. Through such practices, members produce 119 talk into a call for help.

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are humoral factors with diverse biological functions. While most FGFs were shown to work as local factors regulating cell growth and differentiation, recent investigations indicated that FGF19 subfamily members, FGF15/19, FGF21 and FGF23 work as systemic factors. FGF15/19 produced by intestine inhibits bile acid synthesis and FGF21from liver is involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. In addition, FGF23 was shown to be produced by bone and regulate phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. Furthermore, these FGFs require klotho or βklotho for their actions in addition to canonical FGF receptors. It is possible that these FGFs together with their receptor systems might be targets for novel therapeutic measures in the future.

We report a case of myasthenia caused by a Mamushi (snake)[Agkistrodon halys Blomhoffi] bite. Electromyography revealed a marked increase in the amplitude of action potentials (waxing phenomenon) with fast rates of motor nerve stimulation and the response to tensilon was negative. This case indicates that Mamushi venoms contain a neurotoxin preventing the release of acetylcholine quanta from nerve terminals.

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-FTIR spectroscopy has been widely used to probe protein structural changes under various stimuli, such as light absorption, voltage change, and ligand binding, in aqueous conditions. Time-resolved measurements require a trigger, which can be controlled electronically; therefore, light and voltage changes are suitable. Here we developed a novel, rapid buffer-exchange system for time-resolved ATR-FTIR spectroscopy to monitor the ligand- or ion-binding reaction of a protein. By using the step-scan mode (time resolution; 2.5 ms), we confirmed the completion of the buffer-exchange reaction within ~25 ms; the process was monitored by the infrared absorption change of a nitrate band at 1,350 cm-1. We also demonstrated the anion-binding reaction of a membrane protein, Natronomonas pharaonis halorhodopsin (pHR), which binds a chloride ion in the initial anion-binding site near the retinal chromophore. The formation of chloride- or nitrate-bound pHR was confirmed by an increase of the retinal absorption band at 1,528 cm-1. It also should be noted that low sample consumption (~1 μg of protein) makes this new method a powerful technique to understand ligand-protein and ion-protein interactions, particularly for membrane proteins.

Background: The compression-to-ventilation ratio for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was changed from 15:2 to 30:2, but there are few human studies comparing chest-compression-only CPR with standard CPR. Methods and Results: From the All-Japan Utstein Registry in the 30:2 CPR era, 173,565 adult cardiac arrests witnessed by bystanders were included. On arrival at the scene, emergency medical services responders assessed the status of dispatcher-assisted CPR instruction and bystander CPR technique (chest compression with or without rescue breathing). The primary endpoint was favorable neurological outcome 30 days after cardiac arrest. The prevalence of dispatcher-assisted CPR instruction increased year by year, contributing to an overall increase of chest-compression-only bystander CPR from 20.6% to 35.0%. Among 78,150 patients receiving bystander CPR, favorable neurological outcome did not differ between dispatcher-assisted and -unassisted CPR (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.94–1.08). Chest-compression-only CPR resulted in better favorable neurological outcome than standard CPR in the whole cohort (adjusted OR, 1.09; 95% CI: 1.00–1.18) and in the subgroup with cardiac etiology (adjusted OR, 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02–1.22). The addition of rescue breathing provided no neurological benefit in the non-cardiac etiology subgroup. Conclusions: In the 30:2 CPR era, dispatcher-assisted CPR instruction contributed to an increase of chest-compression-only bystander CPR, supporting the use of chest-compression-only CPR for bystander-witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in all adults.

The number of osteoporosis patients is increasing every year in Japan. Bone mineral density (BMD), which is the helpful feature quantity in diagnosing osteoporosis, is generally measured in the central part of the vertebral body. It's possible to measure BMD at each location in X-ray CT images having a high spatial resolution. If bone mineral density of the vertebral body is not homogeneous, grasp of the lower BMD location inside the vertebral body may be helpful to clinical diagnosis. In this paper, using X-ray CT images of 80 subjects (40 male and 40 female subjects), BMDs of trabecular bones from the 12th thoracic vertebra to the 1th sacral vertebra (S1) were measured at each location. The present study showed that anterior and central locations of thoracolumbar and lumbar vertebra, and posterior, inferior, and central locations of S1 had lower BMD values. Therefore, at the thoracolumbar and lumbar vertebra, if the BMDs of anterior or central locations are selectively measured, prediction of fracture risk at vertebral bodies could be improved.

Local metabolites have long been considered to play an important physiological role in regulating regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). However, the evidence reviewed here emphasizes that the regulation of rCBF by central cholinergic nerves is independent of regional metabolism. Activation of the intra cranial cholinergic fibers originating in the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) and septal complex releases acetylcholine in the cortex and hippocampus, which results in vasodilation and an increase in rCBF in the cortex and hippocampus via activation of both muscarinic and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Cutaneous sensory stimulation activates the cholinergic nerves originating from the NBM to enhance rCBF. The increase in rCBF at the defuse cortices during walking appears to include an excitation of this NBM-originating cholinergic vasodilation system. Other various inputs to the NBM may have a similar effects to enhance rCBF via activation of that cholinergic system, provided the stimulation is delivered properly. Thus thecombination of pharmacological and nonpharmacological techniques may provide a balance in our attempts to improve cholinergic replacement therapy.
