The Na(+) receptor that exists in the hepatoportal region plays an important role in postprandial natriuresis and the regulation of Na(+) balance during NaCl load. Thus it would be considered that a dysfunction of the hepatic Na(+) receptor might result in the elevation of arterial pressure under a condition of high NaCl diet. To elucidate this hypothesis, arterial pressure was continuously mea...

Primary hyperhidrosis (PH) is a condition that has a great impact on affected individuals' quality of life, regardless of its location. Its surgical treatment is done through thoracic sympathectomy performed by videothoracoscopy. Standardization of the technique includes section of the sympathetic trunk at different levels, according to the site of symptoms. The aim of this review is to evaluat...

There are concerns regarding the hazards to the public due to the releases of toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) to the atmosphere as a result of accidents or intentional acts. For recent chlorine railcar accidents, where 30 to 60 tons of pressurized liquefied chlorine were released in rural areas, the number of casualties estimated by several widely-used model systems far exceeded the number of...

Peripheral denervation causes significant changes in the organization of developing or adult primary somatosensory cortex (S1). However, the basic mechanisms that underlie reorganization are not well understood. Most attention has been focused on possible synaptic mechanisms associated with reorganization. However, another important determinant of cortical circuit function is the intrinsic memb...

The chemical shift is sensitive to changes in the local environments and can report the structural changes. The structure information of a protein can be represented by the average chemical shifts (ACS) composition, which has been broadly applied for enhancing the prediction accuracy in protein subcellular locations and protein classification. However, different kinds of ACS composition can sol...

Current reactive pest management methods have serious drawbacks such as the heavy reliance on chemicals, emerging genetic rodenticide resistance and high secondary exposure risks. Rodent control needs to be based on pest species ecology and ethology to facilitate the development of ecologically based rodent management (EBRM). An important aspect of EBRM is a strong understanding of rodent pest ...
