The superior paraolivary nucleus (SPON), a prominent GABAergic center of the mammalian auditory brainstem, projects to the ipsilateral inferior colliculus (IC) and sends axons through the commissure of the IC (CoIC). Herein we demonstrate that the SPON is reciprocally connected with the recently discovered tectal longitudinal column (TLC). The TLC is a long and narrow structure that spans nearl...

Correspondence result that FRC TLC and RV TLC ratios are disproportionately elevated. We have speculated about the infl uence of erroneously elevated volume ratios on the interpretation of published COPD outcome studies. For example, Fessler et al 2 developed a model in which plethysmographically measured RV TLC ratios predicted improvement in FEV 1 following lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS...

In this paper, a two-dimensional multi-wavelet is constructed in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. The constructed multi-wavelet is an orthonormal basis for space. By discretizing two-dimensional Fredholm integral equation reduce to a algebraic system. The obtained system is solved by the Galerkin method in the subspace of by using two-dimensional multi-wavelet bases. Because the bases of subs...

The heartwood of Bagassa guianensis AUBL., which grows widely in South America, is empirically known to be durable against fungal and insects decay. In this study, we evaluated the fungal and termite resistance of B. guianensis wood, and conducted the separation of substances having the antifungal and antitermite properties. As the results, B. guianensis wood has excellent durability against bo...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation of total lymphocyte count (TLC) and CD4 cell count and the suitability of TLC as a surrogate marker for CD4 cell count of HIV-infected patients in China. METHODS Usefulness of TLC as a surrogate marker for a CD4 cell count <350 cells/mm(3) for HIV-positive patients in China was evaluated by 977 pairs of TLC and CD4 cell count from 977 outpatients. The res...

Ultrasound has been used to measure diaphragm thickness (Tdi) in the area where the diaphragm abuts the rib cage (zone of apposition). However, the degree of diaphragm thickening during inspiration reported as obtained by one-dimensional M-mode ultrasound was greater than that predicted by using other radiographic techniques. Because two-dimensional (2-D) ultrasound provides greater anatomic de...

Lipids were extracted from excised uropygial glands of domestic chickens and the wax diesters were isolated by preparative thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The diesters were hydrolyzed and the liberated diols were resolved by boric acid TLC into two fractions. These were investigated by proton magnetic resonance at 360 MHz of the free diols and of their acetonide derivatives. The results showed...

We adapted the reagents from 11 different enzyme-multipled immunoassay technique (EMrr; Syva Co., Palo Alto, CA 94304) drug-detection kits for use in a centrifugal analyzer. The antibody reagents were mixed into a single dilute solution, and the enzyme-labeled drug derivatives were combined similarly (Mixed EMIT reagents), for use in testing urine samples for the presence of multiple drugs. The...
