We investigated the possibility that neuronal cells given a mild ischemic treatment sufficient
to perturb the cellular metabolism acquired tolerance to a subsequent, and what would be …

Context The evidence that measurement of the common carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT)
improves the risk scores in prediction of the absolute risk of cardiovascular events is …

The improvement of the brittle behavior of Polylactic acid (PLA) resin was studied by blending
it with Polycaprolactone (PCL) resin. These materials were fabricated into the compressed …

We investigated the effects of mild and non-lethal ischemic insult on neuronal death
following subsequent lethal ischemic stress in various brain regions, using a gerbil model of …

Background and Purpose— Recently, there has been great interest in adult neurogenesis.
We investigated whether transient forebrain ischemia could influence the proliferation of …

Background—An elevated plasma concentration of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events. However, there have been no longitudinal …

Background and Purpose—The purpose of this study was (1) to examine the contribution of
microglia and macrophages with their interleukin-1β production and (2) to assess the …

Background: Prasugrel is an antiplatelet agent that shows more prompt, potent, and consistent
platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. The objective of this study was to confirm the efficacy …

Although accumulating evidence indicates that cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)
phosphorylation mediates not only synaptic plasticity but also survival of certain neurons…

Cerebral ischemia models using mice have drawn increasing attention, particularly because
of the availability of transgenic animals. However, the variability of intracranial vasculature …
