To study the influence of illumination and longitudinal slope at entrance exit an undersea tunnel on driver EEG characteristics, a real vehicle experiment was performed with Jiaozhou Bay Undersea Tunnel. The experimental data driver’s were collected using illuminance meter, instrument, video recorder other equipment. power spectrum classified according to frequency, difference between sections ...

OBJECTIVES Communication in various medical settings is subject to misinterpretation. The frozen section (FS) diagnosis in patient care is dependent on successful communication between pathologists and surgeons. However, very few studies looking at FS errors analyzed postanalytic communication issues. METHODS A total of 300 consecutive cases, in which an FS was performed and corresponding sur...

In studies on animal models of human brain pathologies, three-dimensional reconstruction from histological sections is particularly useful when assessing the morphologic, functional and biochemical changes induced by pathology. It allows assessing lesion heterogeneity in planes different from the cutting plane and allows correlating the histology with images obtained in vivo, such as by means o...

4-(Dimethylamino)-N-(4-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butyl)benzamide (WC-10), a N-phenyl piperazine analog, displays high affinity and moderate selectivity for dopamine D3 receptors versus dopamine D2 receptors (Chu et al. [2005] Bioorg Med Chem 13:77–87). In this study, WC-10 was radiolabeled with tritium (specific activity 5 80 Ci/mmol), and quantitative autoradiography studies were cond...

Performance of automated methods to isolate brain from non-brain tissues in magnetic resonance (MR) structural images may be influenced by MR signal inhomogeneities, type of MR image set, regional anatomy, and age and diagnosis of subjects studied. The present study compared the performance of four methods, Brain Extraction Tool (BET, Smith 2002); 3dIntracranial (Ward 1999, in AFNI); a Hybrid W...

Purpose of work. Development a technique for determining the time formation damage to human internal organs by digital histological methods polarization reconstruction circular birefringence molecular complexes.Materials and methods. The object study was histology samples (brain, kidney liver) with different duration from 1 120 hours. For control, we used biological tissue those who died corona...

Introduction: There is considerable evidence that glutamate-mediated excitatory neurotransmission plays an important role in mediating the behavioral actions of acutely administered ethanol. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of acute ethanol exposure on NR1 subunit of NMDA (n-methyl-d-aspartate) receptor distribution in the cerebral cortex of chick embryo on the 10th...

Background:The polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) is expressed in developing brain. Fetal brain damage is caused by different conditions such as seizure and hypoxia. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of maternal seizures on the number of PSA-NCAM positive cells in pup's hippocampus. Methods: Female Wistar rats were divided into four groups: (a) kindle...

Histochemical methods of detecting iron in the rodent brain result mainly in the labeling of oligodendrocytes, but as all cells utilize iron, this observation suggests that much of the iron in the central nervous system goes undetected. Paraffin embedding of tissue is a standard procedure that is used to prepare sections for microscopic analysis. In the present study, we questioned whether we c...
