Statistical mechanical theory of the nonlinear steady state
By making use of perturbation techniques, we develop a theory of the non-linear steady state. We find that the linear term of a mechanical equation such as the Langevin equation is not responsible for the nonl...

Phencyclidine-induced retrograde amnesia in mice
The amnesic action of phencyclidine (PCP) was investigated in mice using a passive avoidance- and escape-learning method. PCP (10–30 mg/kg) administered immediately after the training test dose-dependently sho...

Some Problems Related to Scaling in Systems Undergoing Phase Separations
We consider the dynamics of phase separation where coarsening of droplets or domains proceeds continously [1–3]. We omit the nucleation and growth. In the late stage, however, no clear distinction exists betwe...

Sialyl Lewis-X Antigen Expression in Human Colorectal Carcinomas: Relationship Between Expression Level and Prognosis
Levels of sialyl Lewis-X antigen (SLX) in 132 human colorectal carcinomas were immuno-histochemically examined. The positive SLX staining for the primary tumors was significantly correlated with the depth of t...

Expression of nucleoside diphosphate kinase/nm23 gene product in human pancreatic cancer: an association with lymph node metastasis and tumor invasion
The expression of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase/nm23 has been reported to be inversely related to metastasizing potential of experimental cells and human breast cancer. In the present study, levels of NDP k...

Multiple gastrinoma successfully resected with the aid of intraoperative arterial secretin injection test
Since gastrinoma is likely to develop in multiple sites, we should pay special attention to the removal of all daughter tumors, as well as the main tumor, during surgery for this disease. In a 24-year-old woma...
