We investigated the relative effects of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 MAC halothane and enflurane, and concurrent noxious stimulus on hepatic blood flow and oxygen consumption in 14 mongrel dogs randomly divided into groups of seven each. Hepatic arterial and...

Microcode optimization with neural networks.

IEEE Trans Neural Netw. 1999;10(3):698-703. doi: 10.1109/72.761728.

Microcode optimization is an NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. This paper proposes a new method based on the Hopfield neural network for optimizing the wordwidth in the control memory of a microprogrammed digital computer. We present two methodologies, viz., the...

BMJ Open. 2011 Aug 11;1(1):e000179. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2011-000179.

Objective Tumour budding formed by histologically undifferentiated cancer cells beyond the border of the tumour margin is associated with lymph node metastasis. However, hollow tumour nests, a possible histologically advanced phenotype of tumour budding, have not been discussed. We...

Roles of plasminogen in the alterations in bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells during bone repair.

Bone reports

Okada K, Kawao N, Tatsumi K, Ishida M, Takafuji Y, Kurashimo S, Okumoto K, Kojima K, Matsuo O, Kaji H.
PMID: 29955638
Bone Rep. 2018 Apr 27;8:195-203. doi: 10.1016/j.bonr.2018.04.005. eCollection 2018 Jun.

We previously revealed that stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is involved in the changes in the number of bone marrow stem cells during the bone repair process in mice. Moreover, we reported that plasminogen (Plg) deficiency delays bone repair and...

Role of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in muscle wasting induced by a diabetic state in female mice.

Endocrine journal

Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat. 2021 Nov 11;17:3315-3323. doi: 10.2147/NDT.S338854. eCollection 2021.

BACKGROUND: Monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) decomposes dopamine and serotonin, and decreased MAO-A expression increases monoamine levels and is related to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Previous studies have reported that variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), namely, upstream (u)VNTR, and some...
