Quantitative evaluation of the relative contribution ratio of cerebral tissue to near-infrared signals in the adult human head: a preliminary study.
TL;DR: The present method opened the door to the possibility of selectively obtaining optical signals attributed to cerebral tissue by estimating the contribution ratio of the cerebral tissue to optical signals at the probe distances of 2, 3 and 4 cm.
99mTc-Annexin A5 for noninvasive characterization of atherosclerotic lesions: imaging and histological studies in myocardial infarction-prone Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits
Seigo Ishino,Yuji Kuge,Yuji Kuge,Nozomi Takai,Nagara Tamaki,H. William Strauss,Francis G. Blankenberg,Masashi Shiomi,Hideo Saji +8 more
TL;DR: The present study in WHHLMI rabbits showed higher 99mTc-annexin A5 accumulation in grade IV atheroma than in other more stable lesions, which may be useful in identifying athersoma that is at higher risk for rupture and possibly in assessing the response to anti-atherosclerosis therapy.
Loss of neuronal integrity: a cause of hypometabolism in patients with traumatic brain injury without MRI abnormality in the chronic stage.
Tohru Shiga,Katsunori Ikoma,Chietsugu Katoh,Hirotaka Isoyama,Tetsuaki Matsuyama,Yuji Kuge,Hiroyuki Kageyama,Tomoya Kohno,Satoshi Terae,Nagara Tamaki +9 more
TL;DR: FMZ PET may have potential to distinguish hypometabolism caused by neuronal loss from that caused by other factors, indicate that there are metabolic abnormalities in TBI patients with some symptoms after brain injury but without abnormalities on MRI.
123I-Iomazenil Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Visualizes Recovery of Neuronal Integrity by Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Therapy in Rat Infarct Brain
Hisayasu Saito,Keiichi Magota,Songji Zhao,Naoki Kubo,Yuji Kuge,Hideo Shichinohe,Kiyohiro Houkin,Nagara Tamaki,Satoshi Kuroda +8 more
TL;DR: The present findings strongly suggest that the BMSCs may enhance functional recovery by improving the neuronal integrity in the peri-infarct area, when directly transplanted into the infarct brain at clinically relevant timing.
Decreased endothelium-dependent coronary vasomotion in healthy young smokers.
Yasuyoshi Iwado,Keiichiro Yoshinaga,Hideto Furuyama,Yoshinori Ito,Kazuyuki Noriyasu,Chietsugu Katoh,Yuji Kuge,Eriko Tsukamoto,Nagara Tamaki +8 more
TL;DR: Endothelium-dependent coronary artery vasodilator function is impaired in apparently healthy young smokers and the ratio of CPT MBF to resting MBF was inversely correlated with pack-years.
