Purpose To explore the role of histogram analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
maps based on entire tumor volume data in determining glioma grade and to evaluate the …

Rationale: Monocyte infiltration into the subintimal space and its intracellular lipid accumulation
are the most prominent features of atherosclerosis. To understand the pathophysiology …

Resident macrophages densely populate the normal arterial wall, yet their origins and the
mechanisms that sustain them are poorly understood. Here we use gene-expression profiling …

Computed tomography (CT) plays an important supplementary role in the evaluation of
patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Fast multisection spiral CT can be used to obtain …

Immune tolerance is necessary to prevent the immune system from reacting against self,
and thus to avoid the development of autoimmune diseases. In this review, we discuss key …

Background and Purpose To apply a texture analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
maps to evaluate glioma heterogeneity, which was correlated with tumor grade. Materials …

Objective Patient-based congenital heart surgery (CHS) training is opportunity-based and
difficult. Three-dimensional (3D) print models of the heart were used for hands-on surgical …

OBJECTIVE: We have previously reported a limited but favorable experience with a novel
sutureless technique for surgical management of postoperative pulmonary vein stenosis …

Tissue effector cells of the monocyte lineage can differentiate into different cell types with
specific cell function depending on their environment. The phenotype, developmental …

Purpose To explore the role of dynamic contrast material–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging in the differentiation of true progression from pseudoprogression in patients with …
