To provide background data as the pathologic basis, the pineal glands of 190 male and 193 female Crl:CD(SD) rats at ages of 0-7, 51-58, 70-85 and 111 weeks were examined histologically in this study. Mineralization and fibrosis were common findings in the aged rats, whereas they were rarely found in the young ones; mineralization was present in 7, 44, 67 and 79% of males and in 0, 32, 67 and 79...

High resolution ESI mass spectrometry of the "22 kDa" nanocluster reveals the presence of a mixture containing Au103(SR)45, Au104(SR)45, Au104(SR)46, and Au105(SR)46 nanoclusters, where R = -CH2CH2Ph. MALDI TOF MS data confirm the purity of the sample and a UV-vis spectrum shows minor features. Au102(SC6H5COOH)44, whose XRD crystal structure was recently reported, is not observed. This is due t...

We reviewed 44 patients with 44 full-thickness rotator-cuff tears at an average of 4.2 years after arthroscopically-assisted repair. There were 25 women and 19 men aged between 35 and 76 years (average 58); 35% of the shoulders had other intra-articular lesions. Most of the patients (85%) had been discharged from hospital immediately after the operation. The result was rated good or excellent i...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cladribine is a cytotoxic drug which ameliorates the clinical course of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. In addition to cytotoxicity, the mode of action may include immunomodulatory mechanisms. This in vitro study was designed to investigate cladribine's effects on cell function after the removal of cladribine to distinguish cytotoxic versus immunomodulatory eff...
