Osteoclast differentiation factor induces synovial macrophage–osteoclast differentiation in rheumatoid arthritis
The aim of this study was to clarify the role of osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in synovial macrophage–osteoclast differentiation. Synovial macrophages were cultured in the ...

Microstructure characterization of the YBa2Cu3O7-y thin films derived from the metal-naphthenates gels coated on SrTiO3(100) and LaAlO3(100) substrates
The thin films of YBa2Cu3O7-y, prepared by chemical solution deposition on SrTiO3(100) and LaAlO3(100) substrates, have been characterized by cross-sectional high-resolution electron microscopy. It is found that ...

Coronal Heating Due to Twisting Faculae of 1 km Radii
We propose a scenario for coronal heating as a result of body Joule heating of a twisting magnetic tube of ≈10 km radius due to anomalous resistivity, whose effective collision frequency is 10-2 times the electro...

Self-Sustained Oscillation of Gas-Liquid Flow in a Centrifugal Pump with Semi-Open Impeller
When a centrifugal pump is operated at very low discharge with low suction head, the air dissolving in water merges to become bubble and stays inside an impeller channel. The staying bubbles accumulate to form...

Statistical Study of Solar X-Ray Jets Observed with the Yohkoh Soft X-Ray Telescope
From a statistical study of 100 X-ray jets, found from the database of full Sun images taken with the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) aboard Yohkoh during the period between November 1991 and April 1992, we found the ...

Monitoring shunt flow by jugular bulb oxygen saturation during therapeutic embolisation of cerebral arteriovenous malformations
The shunt flow to perfusion flow ratio in patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can be evaluated from the arterial and jugular bulb oxygen saturations (S aO2 and S ...

A simple technique for minimising complications of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for internal carotid stenosis
The application of percuteneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases risks complications caused by emboli flowing into the intracerebral arteries. We report here a simple...

Changes in the corticospinal MEP (D-wave) during microsurgical removal of intramedullary spinal cord tumours: experience in 16 cases
It has become increasingly clear that complete surgical excision is the best therapeutic approach for the majority of intramedullary spinal cord tumours. There is, however, always a risk in the radical excisio...

Attenuation of Hemispheric Swelling Associated with Acute Subdural Hematomas by Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonist in Rats
Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) gives rise to a mass effect not only by itself but also through unilateral hemispheric swelling. The present study tested the hypothesis that hemispheric swelling is mediated by ...

Studies on Domain States of Magnetic Substances by Electron Holography
Magnetic domain structures of barium ferrite particles are studied by electron holography. Single magnetic-domain particles have been observed directly and clearly for the first time. Furthermore, an on-line r...

Separation of upper and lower extremity components of the corticospinal MEP (D-wave) recorded at the cervical level
It has been demonstrated in experimental animals that synchronous impulses occurring in efferent axons of corticospinal tract (CST) neurons in response to stimulation of the motor cortex can be recorded from t...

Rapid changes in killed-end corticospinal MEP in patients with acute spinal cord injury
During recording of spinal cord evoked potentials, a monophasic positive potential is observed when a nerve impulse approaches but does not pass beyond the recording site. This type of potential has been terme...
