The Fifteenth Asian Test Symposium (ATS’06) and the SeventhWorkshop on RTL and High Level Testing (WRTLT’06) were held in Fukuoka, Japan on November 20th–23rd and 23rd–24th, respectively. Excellent works on state-of-the-art and wide-spread ideas and techniques were presented and discussed in ATS’06, while WRTLT’06 provided more frank discussion focusing on RTL and high level testing. We took th...

Objective. To determine whether the level of apoptosis induced by infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is related to the amino acid sequence of the BH2 domain of the VP5 protein and the level of infectivity. Materials and methods. Three IPNV strains were used, the VP2 protein gene was amplified for genotyping and the VP5 sequence was also obtained. The infectivity of the strains was calc...

OBJECTIVE Neuroimaging studies have revealed abnormalities in brain structure, including the striatum, in obese people. In this study, the cellular and parenchymal basis for these findings in post-mortem brain tissue was investigated. METHODS Design-based (unbiased) stereology combined with histochemical and immunocytochemical staining was used to quantify total number of neurons and astrocyt...
