A new labyrinthulid isolate, which solely produces n-6 docosapentaenoic acid
A labyrinthulid strain, L59, was isolated from a leaf floating on seawater collected at the coastal area of Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. Strain L59 contained only n-6 docosapentaenoic acid (n-6 DPA) among all the...

Production of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids by monoxenic growth of labyrinthulids on oil-dispersed agar medium
A novel method is proposed for the production of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) by labyrinthulids. The method comprises a monoxenic culture with Psychlobacter phenylpyruvicus, using agar medium ...

Diagnostic use of isotropic diffusion-weighted MRI in patients with ischaemic stroke: detection of the lesion responsible for the clinical deficit
We examined the diagnostic use of isotropic diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI in 140 consecutive patients suspected of or diagnosed as having an ischaemic stroke. Isotropic DW imaging could demonstrate the lesion r...

Endovascular treatment for acute thrombotic occlusion of the middle cerebral artery: local intra-arterial thrombolysis combined with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
We report our experience in treating 15 patients with acute thrombotic occlusion of the M1 or M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery who underwent intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy alone or in combination...

Possible mechanism to induce protein kinase C-dependent arterial smooth muscle contraction after subarachnoid haemorrhage
A possible mechanism for the induction of protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent vascular contraction independent to the increase of intracellular Ca++ was investigated in the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm in the ...

Studies of cerebral perfusion by dynamic, contrast-enhanced, T2*-weighted MRI in patients with acute cerebral infarcts
Dynamic, contrast-enhanced, T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to assess cerebral perfusion in 5 normal volunteers and 13 patients with acute cerebral infarcts. A dynamic study was performe...

Correlation between magnetic resonance angiography and cerebral blood flow change in patients who underwent bypass surgery
To evaluate bypass function, we examined the relationship between postoperative magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and postoperative change in cerebral blood flow (CBF) using 133Xe-SPECT in nine patients who un...

An error in cerebral blood flow measured by 123I-IMP single-photon emission tomography and a microsphere model
We studied errors arising from back flow from brain to blood and blood-borne radioactivity of 123I-iodamphetamine (123I-IMP), both of which are neglected in the microsphere model. We used an analytical approach t...

Intracellular calcium levels in canine basilar artery smooth muscle following experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage: an electron microscopic cytochemical study
Changes in intracellular calcium levels in canine basilar arterial smooth muscle were semiquantitatively measured by an electron microscopic cytochemical technique using a combined oxalate-pyroantimonate metho...
